JP5731130B2 - Saving game media management system and device for each device - Google Patents

Description

  This invention manages, as account information, the number of saving game media corresponding to a plurality of lending rates for one member identification information, and saves game media management for paying out replay game media based on the number of saving game media With regard to the system and each device compatible device, especially when a member has gaming media value in a plurality of accounts with different rates, authentication for re-entering without compromising the member while ensuring security is ensured. It is related with the storage game media management system which can perform, and each apparatus corresponding apparatus.

  Conventionally, one of services provided in a game store such as a pachinko store is an operation service using a plurality of game media rates. The multi-rate operation service is to provide a plurality of game islands with different game media lending rates in the game store, and the game store can provide a variety of entertainment to the player.

  One of the other services provided at the amusement store is a savings service. The savings service means that a gaming medium acquired by a gaming store member (hereinafter referred to as “member”) can be deposited in the gaming store as a gaming media value (hereinafter referred to as “savings”). Then, the member can lend out the game medium by using the stored ball when he / she visits the store again and can play the game (hereinafter referred to as “replay” or “replay”). At the time of replay, the collation of the password is required.

  Further, the stored balls are managed as a stored account for each lending rate described above. Therefore, when a member accumulates game media acquired at a plurality of game islands having different lending rates, the member has a plurality of savings accounts having different rates.

  When a member who has a plurality of savings accounts replays, the member can receive a loan of a game medium with a savings account with a rate different from the rental rate of the game island to be played (hereinafter referred to as “replay”). ”Get in”).

  For example, in Patent Document 1, when a member having 100 balls each of 4 yen per ball and 100 yen per ball uses a game media lending device in a 4 yen game island, the rate is 4 yen. A game medium lending device is disclosed that notifies members of the converted total number of balls 125 (= 100 balls + 100 balls / 4) as the number of replayable game media and lends the game media.

JP 2009-045363 A

  However, in the conventional game medium lending device, the total number of stored balls converted by the lending rate of the gaming island where the device is placed is notified to the member, so the lending rate is different from the lending rate on the gaming island during the game. There was a risk that the members would use it unintentionally.

  So, for example, even if a member who plays on a gaming island with a lending rate of 1 yen uses only 1-yen rate storage balls for replay, and 4-yen rate savings are intended to be exchanged for prizes, It is also possible that a 4-yen deposit will be used for replay and the member will suffer a disadvantage.

  Also, in recent years, in consideration of the protection of the player, the game store side is provided with a highly secure gaming service to notify the player when replaying and to prevent theft by a third party. It is hoped that.

  As a result, in order to ensure security for members at the amusement store side, every time a member re-enters the game, a countermeasure is taken to authenticate the person by entering a personal identification number or password as an authentication operation for entry. It is also possible.

  However, in this case, each time the member enters the replay, the member needs to input a password or password, and the member who is playing is forced to perform a complicated operation.

  For these reasons, when a member has gaming media value in a plurality of accounts with different rates, replay entry authentication can be performed without forcing the member to perform complicated operations while ensuring security. How to realize a storage game media management system or a device for each device is a big issue.

  The present invention was made to solve the above-described problems caused by the prior art, and when a member has a game media value in a plurality of accounts having different rates, the member is secured while ensuring security. It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage game medium management system and a device corresponding to each device that can perform replay entry authentication without forcing a complicated operation.

In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, the present invention manages, as account information, the number of saving game media corresponding to a plurality of lending rates for one member identification information, and based on the number of saving game media.

On condition that a predetermined entry confirmation process is performed, the game medium lending process based on the number of stored game media is executed by the second re-game processing means, and the predetermined condition is satisfied. In this case, the game medium lending process is executed by the second re-game processing means without using a new boarding confirmation process as a condition.

Further, the present invention is the above invention, wherein the second re-game processing means is in a state where the game medium lending process based on the number of stored game media corresponding to one lending rate is permitted. When receiving the gaming medium lending processing instruction based on the number of saving game media corresponding to the lending rate, the number based on the number of saving gaming media corresponding to the other lending rate without a new boarding confirmation process. A game media lending process is executed.

In addition, according to the present invention, in the above-described invention, the second re-game processing means may include a new entry confirmation process when information indicating that the entry confirmation process has been performed is already stored. The game media lending process is executed.

Further, the present invention is the above-described invention, wherein the first replay processing means accepts a member medium in which information specifying the member identification information is recorded, and preset member authentication information And the newly entered member authentication information are valid, the game medium lending process based on the number of the stored game media is executed, and an instruction to cancel the acceptance of the member medium is received. In such a case, the game media lending process is prohibited without inputting new member authentication information.

According to the present invention, for one member identification information, the number of stored game media corresponding to each of a plurality of loan rates is managed as account information, and a replay game media is lent based on the number of stored game media.

  Exemplary embodiments of a game medium lending method according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following, the outline of the game medium lending method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1, and then an embodiment of the game medium lending method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. To do. First, the outline of the game medium lending method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of a game medium lending method according to the present invention. In the following, first, an outline of a gaming medium lending method using the conventional technology as it is will be explained using (A) of the figure, and an outline of the gaming medium lending method according to the present invention will be explained using (B) of the figure. explain.

  Conventionally, as one of services provided at a game store, there is a savings service that can have a plurality of savings accounts with different lending rates in association with a recording medium such as a membership card owned by a member. In addition, the implementation of a replay entry service is being considered as another service.

  Here, the replay entry service is a service that allows a pachinko ball to be borrowed by a savings account at a rate different from the lending rate of the game island to be played when the player replays.

  In the following, using a membership card with 1,000 balls in a conventional savings account with a lending rate of 4 yen and 125 cards in a savings account with a lending rate of 1 yen, a player plays a game with a 1-yen pachinko machine. The case where it does is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (A), in the inter-table device to which the conventional game medium lending method that requires the input of a personal identification number at the time of replay is applied, if the member card is inserted by the member, the member card In order to confirm whether the user is the owner of the password, an input of a password is accepted (see (A-1) in FIG. 1).

  Then, if the conventional inter-device apparatus can be confirmed to be the owner by the input password, the verification by the password is OK (see (A-2) in FIG. 1). When a conventional pachinko machine receives a pachinko ball lending instruction by replay (hereinafter referred to as “replay instruction”) (see (A-3) in FIG. 1), the lending rate of the pachinko machine If the rate is 1 yen, the pachinko balls are lent out using the 1 yen rate savings account, and replay from the 1 yen savings is executed (see (A-4) in FIG. 1).

  Here, the conventional inter-device apparatus collects 10% as a replay fee for each replay instruction. Specifically, when 100 pachinko balls are paid out by one replay instruction, 10 balls are subtracted from the 1 yen saving ball as the payout number and the fee. Therefore, the number of balls stored in a 1-yen ball is 15 balls (125 balls− (100 balls + 10 balls)).

  After that, when the conventional inter-device device receives a replay instruction (see (A-5) in FIG. 1), the number of stored balls in the 1-yen storage account is subtracted from one payout. If it is less than the number, a notification is made that a pachinko ball will be rented using a savings account with a different lending rate, here a savings account with a 4-yen rate.

  Here, the number of balls of 1 yen rate (15 balls) is less than the number of pachinko balls (110 balls) to be subtracted for one replay instruction. A guide for entering the replay using the savings account is displayed (see (A-6) in FIG. 1).

  Here, in order to ensure security for members (for example, to prevent unauthorized use by members other than the members), the amusement store side is required to perform authentication as an authentication operation for entry when the member performs replay entry. It is conceivable to take measures such as entering a number or password and authenticating the user.

  In this case, in the conventional inter-vehicle device, when entering the 4-yen rate, the input of the security code for entry is accepted (see (A-7) in FIG. 1), and authentication for entry is performed. (See (A-8) in FIG. 1).

  In the conventional inter-vehicle device, if the entry is authenticated, the pachinko ball is lent out using the 4-yen savings account, and replay from the 4-yen savings is executed ((A in FIG. 1). Refer to -9)).

  Specifically, since 100 pachinko balls are paid out by one replay instruction, the number of payouts converted to a 4 yen rate is 25 balls (100 balls x (1 yen / 4 yen)) and replayed. As a fee, 3 balls (25 balls x 10% rounded up) are subtracted from the 4-yen savings ball. Accordingly, the number of balls stored in the 4-yen storage ball is 972 balls (1000 balls− (25 balls + 3 balls)). However, in the conventional inter-device, the member needs to input a personal identification number, a password, and the like every time replaying is performed, and the member who is playing is forced to perform a very complicated operation.

  Therefore, in the gaming medium lending method according to the present invention, once authentication of the above-mentioned replay entry service is successful, the authentication operation at the time of subsequent replay entry operation is omitted by holding that the authentication is successful. It was decided.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 1B, in the inter-table device to which the game medium lending method according to the present invention is applied, for example, it is input in a procedure for confirming whether or not it is the owner of the member card. Pre-entry authentication using a password.

  Specifically, the inter-device apparatus according to the present invention accepts an input of a personal identification number to confirm whether or not it is the owner of the inserted membership card (see (B-1) in FIG. 1). If it is confirmed that the user is the owner based on the entered personal identification number, the collation based on the personal identification number is set to OK and the collation result is held (see (B-2) in FIG. 1).

  When the replay instruction is received (see (B-3) in FIG. 1), the inter-device apparatus according to the present invention, if the lending rate of the pachinko machine is 1 yen, It is used to lend a pachinko ball and replay from a 1-yen coin (see (B-4) in FIG. 1).

  Again, assuming that 10% is collected as a replay fee for each replay instruction, when 100 pachinko balls are paid out by one replay instruction, 1 is 10 for the number of payouts and the fee. Subtract from yen savings. Therefore, the number of balls stored in a 1-yen ball is 15 balls (125 balls− (100 balls + 10 balls)).

  Then, the inter-device according to the present invention, like the conventional inter-device, further receives a replay instruction (see (B-5) in FIG. 1), and the 1-yen rate that is the lending rate of the pachinko machine. Since there are less than the number of pachinko balls to be deducted for one payout, a guide to re-entering a 4-yen storage account is displayed ((B-6) in FIG. 1) reference).

  Here, in the inter-vehicle apparatus according to the present invention, if the member starts the replay entry operation, for example, if the replay button is pressed (see (B-7) in FIG. 1), immediately after the entry, The replay from the account, that is, the 4-yen coin is executed (see (B-8) in FIG. 1).

  In the inter-device apparatus according to the present invention, a replay entry fee is added when a replay entry is made, and a replay entry fee is added to the replay fee. For example, the case where the replay entry fee is 20% will be described below.

  In this case, 100 pachinko balls are paid out with a single replay instruction, so 25 balls (100 balls x (1 yen / 4 yen)) converted into a 4 yen rate and replay entry fee As a minute, 5 balls (25 balls x 20%) are subtracted from the 4-yen storage ball. Accordingly, the number of balls stored in the 4-yen ball is 970 balls (1000 balls− (25 balls + 5 balls)).

  Here, since the authentication for replay entry is treated as a result of the replay entry authentication being successful based on the collation result already verified in FIG. 1 (B-2), a replay entry start operation is performed. There is no need to ask for a password each time.

  In this way, in the inter-device apparatus to which the game medium lending method according to the present invention is applied, confirmation of whether or not it is the owner of the member card is replaced with entry authentication, and subsequent replay entry authentication is omitted. As a result, it is possible to provide a smooth replay service without forcing the member to perform complicated operations.

  In addition, in FIG. 1, although the case where it replaced with the authentication of replay entry by confirming whether it is the owner of a membership card was demonstrated, it is also possible to perform identity verification and prior replay entrance authentication separately. Good.

  Below, the Example about the storage game media management system based on this invention demonstrated using FIG. 1 is described in detail. First, the configuration of the saved game medium management system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  Note that each device corresponding to the present invention includes a so-called inter-device device provided corresponding to the game machine, a so-called replay machine provided on the island edge of the game island, and the like.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the description of the inter-device 10 will be continued. The control unit 15 is a control unit that performs overall control of the inter-device 10. The start processing unit 15a is a processing unit that performs processing to receive the card ID of the member card read by the card R / W unit 12 and transmit it to the management apparatus 20 in order to obtain start information.

  The start information acquisition unit 15b acquires the number of stored balls and the personal identification number for each lending rate associated with the card ID from the management device 20, and performs processing to store the replay information 13a and the personal identification number 13b in the storage unit 13 It is.

  The start information acquisition unit 15b also performs a process of storing the lending rate of the own pachinko machine 30 acquired from the pachinko machine 30 or the management device 20 in the replay information 13a as a gaming machine rate. Note that the gaming machine rate may be acquired from an island controller that is a relay device that bundles the group of pachinko machines 30 and the inter-device apparatus 10 provided on the gaming island.

  Furthermore, the start information acquisition unit 15b stores the rental rate of the own pachinko machine 30 in the player selection rate of the replay information 13a, and a password for confirming whether or not it is the owner of the membership card. A message to prompt input is displayed on the display operation unit 14.

  Here, details of the replay information 13a will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the replay information 13a. The replay information 13a includes a “card ID” item that is an identifier of the membership card, a “number of stored balls” item for each lending rate, a “game table rate” item, and a “player selection rate” item. .

  The “card ID” item is an identifier of a membership card owned by a member of the amusement shop, and is information that can uniquely identify the membership card owned by the member. The “card ID” item may be a member number for uniquely identifying a member.

  Further, IDm that is an identifier of a mobile terminal owned by a member who uses the mobile terminal instead of the membership card (hereinafter referred to as “mobile member”) may be used. In this case, the mobile member can play again by touching the mobile terminal owned by the mobile member.

  The “number of stored balls” item is associated with the “card ID” item and is a “number of stored balls” item for each lending rate. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the card ID is associated with 101, the number of stored balls for 1 yen rate is 125 balls, and the number of stored balls for 4 yen rate is 1000 balls.

  The “game table rate” item is a rental rate of the own pachinko machine 30. In the “player selection rate” item, when a predetermined member replays, a gaming machine rate is set as an initial value, and thereafter, a lending rate at which replay entry is performed is set.

  For example, if the number of stored balls in a 1-yen savings account is less than a predetermined number (110 balls) and a replay entry is made with a 4-yen savings account, as shown in FIG. In the “selection rate” item, 4 yen is set. The predetermined number (110 balls) is a value obtained by adding 10 balls as a replay fee (10%) to 100 balls paid out by one replay instruction.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the description of the inter-device 10 will be continued. When the personal identification number input from the display operation unit 14 matches the personal identification number 13b stored in the storage unit 13, the boarding authentication unit 15c confirms whether or not it is the owner of the membership card. At the same time, it is a processing unit that performs processing for setting the authentication flag 13c to ON, assuming that replay entry is approved.

  Although the boarding authentication unit 15c performs the boarding authentication, the management apparatus 20 may perform the boarding authentication. Further, although the authentication flag 13c is held by the inter-device device 10, it may be held by the management device 20.

  The entry notification unit 15d displays, on the display operation unit 14, that replay entry is performed when the number of accumulated balls at the lending rate paid out at the time of replay is less than a predetermined threshold. Is a processing unit.

  For example, a case where the player selection rate is a 1-yen rate, that is, a case where a pachinko ball is currently being paid out by a 1-yen savings account will be described.

  Here, when the threshold is set to 110 balls, when the entry notification unit 15d determines that the number of balls stored at 1 yen rate is less than 110 balls, guidance for replay entry using a stored account other than 1 yen rate is provided. Is displayed on the display operation unit 14.

  Then, the entry notifying unit 15d displays the lending rate of a savings account having a sufficient number of savings for re-entry into the display operation unit 14 as a candidate rate, and the lending rate for re-entering the player. To the display operation unit 14 is displayed. In addition, when displaying a candidate rate, it is good also as converting the number of balls of a candidate rate into the rental rate of the pachinko machine 30, and displaying on the display operation part 14. FIG.

  Moreover, if the selection notification is received from the candidate rate by the player, the boarding notification unit 15d also performs a process of registering the selected lending rate as the player selection rate of the replay information 13a.

  If the end processing unit 15e receives a card return request, the end processing unit 15e associates the remaining number of stored balls with the member card, then returns the card to the card R / W unit 12, and the member ends the game. , A processing unit that performs processing to reset the authentication flag 13c to OFF.

  When the replay processing unit 15f detects that the replay button has been pressed, the replay processing unit 15f subtracts the number of payouts from the number of stored balls in the storage account of the player selection rate, and the pachinko balls are transferred to the upper plate 36 of the pachinko machine 30. It is a processing part which performs the process to throw out.

  In addition, the replay processing unit 15f, along with a subtraction instruction to subtract the payout number from the number of stored balls in the stored value account of the player selection rate stored in the stored ball information 22b of the management device 20, card ID, game table rate, game Processing for transmitting the customer selection rate and the number of payouts to the management device 20 is also performed.

  The storage unit 22 is a storage unit configured by a storage device such as a nonvolatile memory or a hard disk drive. The storage unit 22 stores the member's name and password as member information 22a in association with the card ID of the member card owned by the member.

  Moreover, the memory | storage part 22 memorize | stores the number of stored balls which the member performed the storage in association with card | curd ID as the stored ball information 22b for every rental rate. Details of the member information 22a and the stored ball information 22b will be described later.

  The start information transmitting unit 23a searches the member information 22a and the stored ball information 22b for the number of stored balls and the password for each lending rate associated with the card ID received from the start processing unit 15a, and transmits them to the start information acquiring unit 15b.

  The stored ball subtracting unit 23b determines the number of payouts from the number of stored balls of the player selection rate stored in the stored ball information 22b based on the card ID, the player selection rate and the number of payouts received together with the subtraction instruction from the replay processing unit 15f. The number of balls converted from the rate to the player selection rate is subtracted.

  In addition, since the subtraction method by the case of replay which is not boarding and the case of replay boarding differs, it demonstrates below, respectively. In the case of a replay that is not an entry, for example, it is assumed that the player selection rate is 1 yen, the number of payouts is 100 balls, the gaming machine rate is 1 yen, and the replay fee is 10%. In this case, the storage ball subtracting unit 23b subtracts 110 balls, which is a combination of 100 balls of the payout number and 10 balls for the replay fee (100 balls × 10%), from the number of balls stored at the 1-yen rate.

  In the case of replay entry, it is assumed that the player selection rate is 4 yen, the number of payouts is 100 balls, the game machine rate is 1 yen, and the replay entry fee is 20%. In this case, the savings subtracting unit 23b has 25 balls (100 balls × (1 yen / 4 yen)) converted from a 100 yen payout at a 1 yen rate to a 4 yen rate and a replay entry fee. 30 balls combined with 5 balls (25 balls x 20%) are subtracted from the number of balls stored at the 4-yen rate.

  The replay processing unit 15f receives the subtraction instruction and the number of balls converted into the card ID, the player selection rate, and the player selection rate, and the storage ball subtraction unit 23b stores the player selection rate stored in the stored ball information 22b. It is good also as subtracting the number of balls converted from the number of stored balls.

  Next, the configuration of the storage game medium management system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a system configuration diagram of the saving game medium management system according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, a management device 20 installed in an amusement store has an island controller 40, an island edge counter 50, a settlement machine 60, and a prize management via a network such as a LAN (Local Area Network). A device 70 and a card / portable processor 80 are connected.

  A plurality of sets of inter-device devices 10 and a pachinko machine 30 are connected to the island controller 40. Although only two island controllers 40 are shown in FIG. 5, it is assumed that a predetermined number of island controllers 40 are connected to the management apparatus 20. The inter-device 10 is interposed between the island controller 40 and each pachinko machine 30, and a predetermined number of inter-devices 10 are connected to one island controller 40.

  Further, pachinko machines 30 having different lending rates are connected for each game island. For example, the 1-yen rate pachinko machine 30 is connected to the island controller shown in the lower left of FIG. 5, and the 4-yen rate pachinko machine 30 is connected to the island controller shown in the lower center of FIG. It is assumed that 4 circle corners are mixed.

  The management device 20 stores the member information 22a and the stored ball information 22b in the storage unit 22, and manages information related to the stored card associated with the member card or IDm, a password registered at the time of member registration, and the like. .

  The island controller 40 is a relay device that bundles a group of pachinko machines 30 and the inter-device 10 provided on the game island. The pachinko machine 30 is a device in which a player plays a pachinko game by driving a pachinko ball into the game area.

  The island edge counter 50 is provided at a game island edge or the like, counts pachinko balls acquired by the player, and stores the count value in association with a member card or a portable terminal, or prints the count value on a count receipt. And issue.

  When the balance of various banknotes inserted in the banknote insertion unit 32 is associated with a membership card or a general card, the checkout machine 60 is configured to receive cash corresponding to the balance when the card associated with the balance is inserted. Make a withdrawal. Moreover, when the balance of the various banknotes inserted in the banknote insertion part 32 is linked | related with the portable terminal, the payment machine 60 will pay out the cash equivalent to the remaining amount, if the touch of a portable terminal is received.

  The prize management device 70 is a terminal device for exchanging prizes provided in the prize exchange counter in the amusement store, and manages exchange of acquired balls and prizes using exchanged ball number management information (not shown). The exchanged ball number management information is information in which the number of exchanged balls required for exchanging with the prize is associated with each prize. The card / portable processor 80 receives a general card or a membership card, reads the card data, or reads the IDm of the portable terminal, and sends the read data to the prize management device 70.

  Here, when a non-mobile member brings a general card or a membership card and inserts the general card or the membership card into the card / portable processor 80 connected to the prize management device 70, the stored value or the count value is stored. You can receive prizes according to In addition, in the prize management device 70, a player can bring a count receipt, and exchange prizes according to the count value printed on the count receipt brought.

  In addition, the mobile member brings the mobile terminal to the free gift exchange counter and touches the mobile terminal to the free gift management device 70 or the card / handheld processing device 80 provided in the free gift management device 70, so that the stored money associated with IDm is stored. Alternatively, a prize according to the count value can be received.

  At that time, the employee in the prize exchange counter presses the exchange button corresponding to the prize designated by the player. The prize management device 70 that has received the push of the exchange button executes exchange control for subtracting the number of exchange balls corresponding to the designated prize from the count value. Thereafter, the employee hands over the prize designated to the player by hand.

  Next, details of the member information 22a and the stored ball information 22b will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the member information 22a.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the member information 22a includes a “card ID” item, a “name” item, and a “password” item. The “card ID” item is an identifier of a membership card owned by a member of the amusement store, and is information that can uniquely identify a member of the amusement store.

  In the case of a mobile member, the “card ID” item may be the same as the IDm of the mobile terminal owned by the mobile member, or a member identifier such as a member number that can uniquely identify the member. It may be the same. As an identifier in the case of a mobile member, information that can uniquely identify a mobile terminal other than IDm, for example, a telephone number or a mail address may be used.

  The “name” item is a member's name, and the “password” item is a member authentication number used for confirming whether the member is the member himself or herself in order to ensure security. In the present embodiment, the “password” item is a number, but may be a code composed of a combination of letters and numbers.

  Next, details of the stored ball information 22b will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the stored ball information 22b.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the stored ball information 22b includes a “card ID” item and a “number of stored balls” item for each lending rate. The “card ID” item is an identifier of a membership card owned by a member of the amusement store, and is information that can uniquely identify a member of the amusement store.

  The “number of stored balls” item is the number of stored balls owned by the member, and the number of stored balls is managed for each of a plurality of stored account for each lending rate. Members can replay by deducting the number of payouts from the number of balls they own. Also, the number of medals saved for each lending rate, for example, “5 yen rate medals”, “20 yen rate medals”, etc. may be registered so that the player can replay at the pachislot corner.

  Specifically, from the number of stored balls of the player selection rate stored in the stored ball information 22b based on the card ID, the player selection rate and the number of payouts received by the stored ball subtracting unit 23b together with the subtraction instruction from the replay processing unit 15f. The number of balls obtained by converting the payout number from the gaming machine rate to the player selection rate is subtracted.

  For example, in the case of a replay that is not an entry, it is assumed that the player selection rate is 1 yen, the number of payouts is 100 balls, the gaming machine rate is 1 yen, and the replay fee is 10%. In this case, the storage ball subtracting unit 23b subtracts 110 balls, which is a combination of 100 balls of the payout number and 10 balls for the replay fee (100 balls × 10%), from the number of balls stored at the 1-yen rate.

  In the case of replay entry, it is assumed that the player selection rate is 4 yen, the number of payouts is 100 balls, the game machine rate is 1 yen, and the replay entry fee is 20%. In this case, the savings subtracting unit 23b has 25 balls (100 balls × (1 yen / 4 yen)) converted from a 100 yen payout at a 1 yen rate to a 4 yen rate and a replay entry fee. 30 balls combined with 5 balls (25 balls × 20%) are subtracted from 1000 balls stored at a 4-yen rate.

  Next, a boarding notification screen displayed on the display operation unit 14 by the boarding notification unit 15d will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a boarding notification screen. In the following, first, with respect to the display at the time of replay using (A) of the same figure, next, regarding the notification screen re-entering from 1 yen rate to 4 yen rate using (B) of the same figure, Finally, a notification screen for re-entering a plurality of lending rates will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 8A, when a member who owns 1,000 yen of 1-yen reserves starts replaying with the 1-yen pachinko machine 30, the display operation unit 14 is 1 Displays that the payout will be made based on the number of balls stored in the yen-deficient account.

  Next, a case where a member who owns 25 1-yen storage balls and 250 4-yen storage balls starts replaying on the 1-yen pachinko machine 30 will be described.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 8B, since the number of stored balls in the 1-yen storage account is less than a predetermined number (here, 100), replay entry is performed with the 4-yen storage account. As a guide, the display operation unit 14 displays a 4-yen rate, which is a rate that can be entered, as a candidate rate.

  When displaying the candidate rate, the number of balls stored in the candidate rate (250 balls) is converted into the lending rate (1 yen) of the pachinko machine 30, and the display operation unit 14 displays 1000 balls (250 balls x (4 yen / 1 yen)). As a result, the member can easily know the number of balls that can be replayed on the 1-yen pachinko machine 30.

  Note that the replay processing unit 15f first withdraws from the game card rate savings account at the start of replay. However, from the start of replay, the player may be able to make a selection so that the payout can be made according to the number of balls stored at a lending rate other than the gaming machine rate.

  Next, a member who owns 25 balls for 1 yen rate, 1500 balls for 2 yen rate, 250 balls for 4 yen rate, and 250 balls for 4 yen rate starts replaying on the pachinko machine 30 at 1 yen rate. The case will be described.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 8C, since the number of stored balls in the 1-yen storage account is less than a predetermined number (here, 100 balls), a sufficient number of stored balls is required for replay entry. The lending rates of 2 yen and 4 yen are displayed as candidate rates.

  Here, as in FIG. 8B, the number of balls stored at the candidate rate is converted into the loan rate of the pachinko machine 30, and the number of balls stored at the 2-yen rate is 3000 balls (1500 balls x (2 yen / 1 yen) ) The number of balls stored at the 4-yen rate is displayed as 1000 balls (250 balls × (4 yen / 1 yen)).

  Then, the replay processing unit 15f pays out a pachinko ball by replaying according to the rate selected as the lending rate at which the player enters from the candidate rate, that is, the number of stored balls of the player selection rate.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, the display operation unit 14 may be provided with a boarding button. In this case, when the entry button is pressed by the player, the inter-vehicle device 10 considers that both the instruction for selecting the candidate rate and the instruction for entering the replay are accepted, and pays out the pachinko ball.

  Note that the inter-device 10 displays the candidate rate when the replay entry guidance is displayed, and allows the player to select a priority. The intermediate device 10 or the management device 20 may be set in advance. Then, the inter-device device 10 may determine the player selection rate at the time of entering the replay in accordance with a preset priority order.

  In addition, the inter-device 10 performs replay entry for each lending rate. However, the number of stored balls of all lending rates having a sufficient number of balls for replay entry is converted to the player selection rate, and the total value of the converted number of balls is displayed on the display operation unit 14, and the total value is calculated. It is good also as subtracting the number of payout at the time of replay from.

  Next, a process executed by the inter-station apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following, first, the boarding authentication process will be described with reference to FIG. 9, the boarding notification process will be described with reference to FIG. 10, and the replay process will be described with reference to FIG.

  On the other hand, if the display operation unit 14 detects that the replay button has been pressed (Yes in step S301), the replay processing unit 15f converts the number of payout balls from the gaming machine rate to the player selection rate and replay information. It is subtracted from the number of balls stored at the player selection rate stored in 13a (step S302).

  The replay processing unit 15f pays out the number of pachinko balls to be paid out (step S303), and redisplays the number of stored balls subtracted to the display operation unit 14 (step S304).

  In addition, the replay processing unit 15f transmits a subtraction instruction to the management device 20 so as to subtract the number of payout balls from the number of stored balls in the storage account of the player selection rate stored in the stored ball information 22b (step S305). Then, the replay processing unit 15f determines whether or not replay is possible when the number of stored balls of the player selection rate exceeds a predetermined number (step S306). If the number of balls stored at the player selection rate is less than the predetermined number and the replay processing unit 15f determines that replay is not possible (No in step S306), the boarding notification unit 15d performs a boarding notification process (step S306). S307). On the other hand, when it is determined by the replay processing unit 15f that replay is possible (step S306, Yes), the process proceeds to step S308.

  Subsequently, the display operation unit 14 determines whether or not the pressing of the card return button is detected (step S308). When the display operation unit 14 detects that the card return button has been pressed (Yes at Step S308), the boarding notification unit 15d resets the authentication flag 13c to OFF (Step S309).

  Then, the inter-device 10 returns the card associated with the number of stored balls (step S310), and the series of replay processes executed by the inter-device 10 is completed. On the other hand, when the display operation unit 14 does not detect pressing of the card return button (No at Step S308), the boarding notification unit 15d shifts the process to Step S301 and continues the replay process.
