Description

  The present invention relates to a game information management system that outputs a graph showing a distribution of jackpot numbers by distributing jackpots generated in gaming machines.

  When managing a game arcade where a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine is installed, it is very important to manage the number of balls played during a big hit. And in recent years, there are game machines in which the number of rounds, which is a unit game that is a big hit, and the opening time of the big prize opening etc. are distributed according to the lottery result etc., and the theoretical number of balls is different according to the generated big hit Since it has begun to go around, it is necessary to group the big hits by out balls, etc., and to manage the out balls in groups (see FIG. 7 etc. of Patent Document 1).

JP 2006-95229 A (FIG. 7 etc.)

On the other hand, it is of course important to manage the average number of balls for each group, but in addition to that, for example, a distribution graph of jackpot numbers distributed for each ball unit is created for each gaming machine and a list of multiple units is displayed. Ball management is also important.
However, in the case of the above configuration, the number of balls according to the jackpot distribution mode is estimated based on the specifications of the gaming machine, etc., but the number of balls expected based on the complicated specifications is not necessarily correct and is distributed with incorrect assumptions. When referring to the graph, there is a possibility of erroneous recognition that it is necessary to make an incorrect adjustment.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game information management system that can output a distribution graph distributed for each payout unit in a format that is easy for a game hall manager to manage. It is in.

The present invention is game information specified by a game signal output from a gaming machine side on which a player plays, and is a safe value that is a game value given to the player in accordance with a prize, or the safe and the player Game information management means for identifying the acquired value representing the difference between the game value consumed by the player and the jackpot period in which the jackpot has occurred, and managing the jackpot acquired value that is the specified acquired value; A first range in which a plurality of jackpot period information, which is game information indicating a jackpot period, and a plurality of first allocation information which is at least one of the jackpot earning values are set in advance for each of the first allocation information in a fixed value unit. Depending on which one of them, the first distribution means that distributes the generated jackpot, the second allocation information that is at least one of the jackpot period information, and the jackpot acquisition value, and By comparing the second range is estimated from the specifications of the gaming machine for two sorting information, and a second sorting means for distributing the jackpot generated, a big hit, which is distributed by the first distributing means An output means for specifying the jackpot number generated as a target in the first range unit and outputting a graph showing the distribution of the jackpot number for each gaming machine, and the gaming machine to which the gaming machine to be output belongs belongs to the second mode. Reference information specifying means for specifying reference information indicating an average value per jackpot value of the jackpot earned value managed by the game information management means targeting the jackpot belonging to the second range, The output means outputs the reference information on the graph when the graph is output (Claim 1).

In the game information management system according to claim 1,
The reference information specifying means is for each jackpot of the jackpot acquisition value managed by the game information management means for the jackpot belonging to the second range for the gaming machine to be output. When the unit outputs the graph, the output means performs the output indicating the unit reference information on the graph together with the output indicating the reference information. May be.

In the game information management system according to claim 1 or 2,
The reference information specifying means is an average value per jackpot of the jackpot earned value managed by the game information management means for the jackpot belonging to the second range for the second distribution information, The subtraction reference information indicating the subtraction between the average value of the target gaming machine and the average value in the gaming machine to which the gaming machine to be output belongs is specified for each gaming machine to be output, and the output means When performing graph output, output indicating the subtraction reference information may be performed on the graph.

In the game information management system according to any one of claims 1 to 3,
A selection means for selecting a specific portion of the graph output output by the output means, wherein the game information management means is a jackpot that is game information including the jackpot earning value in association with the jackpot generated in the gaming machine History information is managed, and when the specific part is selected by the selection unit, the output unit is configured to select one of the second ranges corresponding to the first range associated with the specific part. The jackpot number to which the first distribution information belongs to the first range, or the first range in which a specific location adjacent on the graph is associated with the selected specific location, to which the first distribution information belongs. Identifies a first range that has reached a preset reference number, and includes a plurality of first ranges including the identified first range and the first range associated with the selected specific location. The jackpot history extracting big hit the first sorting information belongs as the target may be output the extracted jackpot history information (claim 4).

In the game information management system according to claim 4,
The output means, when the jackpot history information is output when the specific portion is selected by the selection means, the jackpot of the acquired game value for the jackpot corresponding to the jackpot history information that is the output target An average value per time is specified, and game information that can specify whether or not the first distribution information belongs to the first range corresponding to the specified average value is output as the jackpot history information. (Claim 5).

According to the invention of claim 1, when managing the acquired value by paying attention to a specific jackpot, it is difficult to grasp whether the acquired value is appropriate or not due to the complicated specifications. By outputting the reference information indicating the average value of the model, it is possible to refer to the distribution graph while comparing with the average value of the model, and it is easy to judge whether the acquired value of each unit is relatively large or small It becomes like this.
According to the invention of claim 2, since the distribution graph can be referred to after comparing the acquired value of the model average and the average of the units, the acquired value of each unit is large or small with respect to the gaming machines of the entire installed gaming models. Can be more easily determined.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration of a game hall management system. A lending machine 2 is installed in the game hall corresponding to the gaming machine (pachinko machine) 1. Two gaming machines 1 and two lending machines 2 are connected to one relay device 3, and the relay device 3 is installed in a management room in the game hall via a LAN 4 (game information management). Means, first distribution means, second distribution means, output means, reference information specifying means, and selection means). An island edge counter (not shown) and a POS terminal (not shown) are also connected to the LAN 4. Although omitted in FIG. 1, hundreds of gaming machines 1 are managed by the management device 5. In the present embodiment, since a pachinko machine is assumed as a gaming machine as described above, a pachinko ball is assumed as a gaming medium (game value).

The gaming machine 1 has an operation handle 6 that constitutes a launching device, and on the board surface 7, a general prize winning port 8, a first starting port 9, a second starting port 10, a liquid crystal display unit (object) 11, a winning port 12. Has a grand prize opening 13 and the like.
The gaming machine 1 performs the following operations. Note that the following operation is described for one model, and although the operation varies depending on the model, it is common to distribute the number of big hits according to the lottery result.
(1) A big hit lottery is performed in response to the ball fired on the board surface 7 by operating the operation handle 6 winning (start winning) in the first starting port 9 or the second starting port 10, and the lottery result Based on the so-called special symbol (special symbol), the liquid crystal display unit 11 executes symbol variation and generates a big hit according to the result. Note that the upper limit of so-called holding balls is four each, and when starting and winning a prize during holding, the upper limit is held, and after the symbol change ends, the held symbol variation is executed sequentially.
(2) While the first starting port 9 is a so-called heso-type winning port where the winning rate does not fluctuate, the second starting port 10 is a so-called electric-chu-type winning port whose winning rate fluctuates due to regular drawing.
(3) The winning probability (big hit probability) of the big hit lottery is 1/300, and the percentage of big hits that will be in a probabilistic state (probable change) after the big hit is 66.6% (2/3). The special winning opening 13 is opened according to the number of rounds (R) to be performed. The 1R upper limit winning number (upper limit number) is 8, and the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds. When either the upper limit number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied, 1R is ended.
(4) R corresponding to the big hit is 2R, 8R, 15R, and the distribution ratio is 10%, 40%, 50%.
(5) During probability change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/30 and the winning rate to the start port 10 is improved. Since the probability change continues until the next big hit, it continues until a big hit (ordinary big hit) that becomes a normal state (normal) after the big hit occurs, and returns to the normal state when a normal big hit occurs. In addition, all are illustrations of one model, and the above-mentioned specifications differ depending on the model. In addition to the number of rounds and the maximum number of winnings, there is a case where the allocation of the ball is distributed according to the upper limit opening time.

  The lending machine 2 is configured as a so-called CR sand having a control unit including a CPU, a storage unit including a CF (Compact Flash (registered trademark)), a RAM, and a ROM, and a transmission / reception unit including an interface for transmitting and receiving signals. A coin insertion slot 14 for a player to insert coins, a touch panel type liquid crystal display unit 15 for displaying game information and the like and receiving an operation input from the player, and a dispensing nozzle 16 for dispensing balls to the gaming machine 1 , A card insertion slot 17 for a player to insert a membership card in which a member ID (player ID) that can identify the player is recorded, and the membership card inserted in the card insertion slot 17 are discharged. Therefore, a card discharge button 18 and the like operated by the player are provided.

  In the lending machine 2, when the player inserts money (consideration) into the money insertion slot 14, the number of balls corresponding to the inserted money is paid out from the dispensing nozzle 16 to the tray 20 of the gaming machine 1. When the player inserts the member card 17 into the card slot 17, the member ID and the like recorded on the member card 17 are read by a reading device (not shown) and totaled for each player who owns the member card 17. The game data and the like can be displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 15.

The following gaming signals are output from the gaming machine side.
Out signal = a signal (operation signal) that can specify the number of used media (out) output from the out BOX for collecting used balls. Since one pulse is output for 10 recovered (used, driven) balls, “out signal number × 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 a start (symbol change, accessory operation, unit game) in the liquid crystal display unit 11 that changes (actuates) due to a start winning that is output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is output when the symbol variation is determined, the symbol variation is specified according to the signal input. In addition, it is good also as a signal which shows having won the start openings 9 and 10.
Big hit signal = a signal that can specify the big hit period output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is a state signal that is output at a level during a big hit, it is determined that a big hit signal is being received as being a big hit.
Special state signal = a signal that can specify a special state (Gunnaka) output from the gaming machine 1. Since the level signal is output during a special state (during time reduction) in which the winning rate of the start port 10 is improved, the reception of the special state signal is specified as being in the special state. It is also possible to use a status signal (probability change signal) that is output at a level during probability change in which the big hit probability is improved. Further, a period in which neither the big hit signal nor the special state signal is received is specified as the normal state.

Now, since the gaming machine 1 is configured to sort out the hitting ball according to the number of rounds, in order to grasp the distribution characteristics of such a gaming machine 1, If the distribution graph of the number of big hits is output after specifying the number, it becomes easy to grasp the distribution situation of the balls.
However, simply listing the distribution graphs may result in a side-by-side output of gaming machines 1 having significantly different expected balls depending on the specifications of the gaming machines 1, and in this case, comparing the gaming machines 1 with which the balls are approximated. Becomes difficult.

Under such circumstances, the present invention is characterized in that the output of the output of the ball distribution to be graphed is devised, and for this purpose, the ball distribution distribution setting and model setting can be made in the management device 5.
FIG. 2 shows the game ball distribution setting, in which the following items are set.
-Outgoing target = game information that is the target of "outing", selecting from safe and difference balls (safe-out (equivalent to acquired value)), the selected one is "out of ball".
-Roll-out unit = Roll-out unit in the ball-out distribution, and a range corresponding to one square of the ball-out distribution (corresponding to the first range). If 40 is set as shown in FIG. 2, 1 to 40, 41 to 80,... Belong to the same range.
-Big hit unit = Big hit unit in the case of ball distribution, which corresponds to one square of the ball distribution. If 10 is set as shown in FIG. 2, 1 to 10, 11 to 20, and so on belong to the same range.
-Out of the ball range = “Identify” when identifying and outputting the ball distribution that does not belong to either of the ball ranges 1 and 2 in the model setting of FIG. Set to “None” if not to be output.
・ Accuracy range = The output range corresponding to the so-called “accurate big hit (minimum big hit)”, which is a big hit that is generated for the purpose of shifting to the probability change instead of the purpose of obtaining the ball.
-Common range = common play range common to all models (common second range).

FIG. 3 shows model settings set for each model, and the following items are set.
・ Stage number range = range of machine numbers belonging to the model.
・ Turn-out range = Turn-out range for big hits taking into account the specs of the model, etc. Two outgoing ranges 1 and 2 (corresponding to the second range) can be set. Set in consideration. In this case, an overlapping range can be set. Moreover, it is not necessary to provide a range corresponding to all big hits. It should be noted that it is possible to set three or more payout ranges.
・ Prize balls, winning prizes, R = number of winning balls for the big winning opening 13 that is open during the big hit with the specs of the model, the number of winnings that will be the condition for the end of the round, and the number of rounds that can occur. Calculate the specs that are on the specs corresponding to. In other words, the spec game is R x number of winning balls x number of wins if the ball is safe, and R x winnings x (prize ball -1) if the ball is different, and you get the number of wins that will be the round end condition. In this case, the difference in the case where a winning for the number of winnings which is a round ending condition after all the hitting balls have won the winning prize opening 13 and the winnings are obtained is shown. In addition, since it is only necessary to be able to set the expected ball from the spec, the predicted ball corresponding to the ball range may be set as it is.

The management apparatus 5 manages game information such as game history and jackpot history by specifying game information based on game signals.
FIG. 4 shows a game history, and the following items are set.
S = Start until the big hit specified by the start signal occurs (number of symbol fluctuations).
・ T1 out = Out during the big hit. Note that “out” means the number of gaming media consumed by the gaming machine 1 specified by the out signal (consumption value).
-T1 safe = safe during big hits. Note that the safe is the number of game media (winning grant value) given (paid out) by winning the game machine 1 specified by the safe signal.
-T1Y = difference ball during jackpot (safe-out (equivalent to jackpot value)).
・ Distribution = jackpot classification that is distributed by the ball. “1” or “2” if the ball is in the first or second range, “other” if the ball is not in either.
-1st range, 2nd range, overall = "1st range""2ndrange" is the average and total of each item targeted at jackpots distributed as "distribution", "all" is all Average and total for big hits. “Distribution” indicates the number of occurrences of jackpot.

FIG. 5 shows the jackpot data (model A sales information), and FIG. 6 shows the jackpot data (model A), in which the following items are set.
-Big hit = The big hit number specified by the big hit signal. “Overall”, “First” and “Second” are the same as those in FIG. 4 including the following items.
-T1 safe, T1 out = safe and out during the big hit.
Average T1Y, average T1 safe, average T1 out = average value of each value. The average T1Y is specified by (T1 safe-T1 out) / big hit, the average T1 safe is T1 safe / big hit, and the average T1 out is T1 out / big hit.
Note that “average” in FIG. 5 is an average of gaming machines, and “average” in FIG. 6 is an average value for each model (corresponding value of “total” in FIG. 5).

The management device 5 counts the jackpot number for each model (40 balls) for each model based on FIGS. 4 to 6 managed for each gaming machine when the game room manager performs the counting operation, and determines the distribution. By displaying, the distribution of the balls in the big hit is displayed.
FIG. 7 is a display example of the type-specific payout distribution. The “TOP” button 20 returns to the title screen that can be transferred to the setting screen for setting FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, and the “next screen” button 21 is displayed when there is a model that cannot be displayed. The next model (for example, model F) is displayed. If there is a previous model, a “previous screen” button (not shown) is displayed. The “Each stand” button 22 shifts to each of the stand-out ball distribution display screens described later. The “Display” button 23 updates the screen display by selecting and pressing the following extraction conditions, and the “Print” button. Reference numeral 24 denotes a button for printing in the same manner.

The extraction target period can be specified by the start date and the end date, and can be selected within the game history storage period shown in FIG. Note that the game history storage period is, for example, 30 days.
The target model is provided with a plurality of buttons 25 corresponding to the model set in FIG. 3, and ON / OFF is switched in response to pressing of the button 25, and in the case of ON, light blue (indicated by a left oblique line in the figure) ) And is the output target of the ball distribution.
In the target model area, a plurality of rearrangement buttons corresponding to the condition (rearrangement information) for rearranging the ball distribution is provided. As the rearrangement buttons, there are a “surprise” button 26, a “departure 1” button 27, a “department 2” button 28, a “common” button 29, and a “number” button 30. Regardless of the push, the ball distribution is rearranged as follows.

  The “accuracy” button 26 is a rearrangement button according to the presence / absence of the accuracies in which the ball is a big hit belonging to the “accuracy range” of FIG. When the button is pressed, the rearrangement according to the presence / absence is switched from “no” → “descending order” → “ascending order”, the display color of the “surprise” button 26 is “no” (no hatching in FIG. 7), and “descending order” Light blue (left oblique line in FIG. 7) and “ascending order” are displayed in green. In the case of “descending order”, the model in which the accuracy has occurred is rearranged, and in the case of “ascending order”, the model in which the accuracy has not occurred is rearranged as the upper order.

  The “out of ball 1” button 27 and the “out of ball 2” button 28 are average values of the out balls belonging to “out of ball range 1” and “out of ball range 2” of FIG. 3, and the “common” button 29 is “common” of FIG. The average value of the balls that belong to the “range”, the “number” button 30 is a rearrangement button corresponding to the number of models. In response to each depression, the display color is switched in the same manner as the “probability” button 26, and the average values are rearranged in descending or ascending order.

  When a target period or target model is selected in FIG. 7, the target period and each big hit ball (safe or difference ball) in the gaming machine 1 belong to any of the payout units set in FIG. 4 to 6, the jackpots are distributed, the number of jackpots for each payout unit is tabulated and output as a graph. The number of jackpots is set to 10 times as a display unit. However, in FIG. 7, the upper limit of one square in a payout unit is set to 6 for the convenience of space. One square is displayed.

2 is shown below the square, and the outgoing ball range 1 is colored light blue (indicated by the left diagonal line in FIG. 7), and the outgoing ball range 2 is colored green (indicated by the right diagonal line in FIG. 7). In addition, a numerical value such as “488” indicates an average value of the payout in the corresponding payout range of the corresponding model. A numerical value such as “502” below the model name indicates the average value of the balls in the “common range” of FIG. 2 of the corresponding model.
The squares are colored yellow (indicated by the left diagonal line in FIG. 7) for the squares belonging to any of the ball ranges, and red (indicated by crossing the left and right diagonal lines in FIG. 7) otherwise. If “out” is set to “output” in FIG. 2, it is output in yellow instead of red. If it is “no”, only the cells belonging to any of the output ranges are not output. Is not output.

The management device 5 rearranges the model output distribution shown in FIG. 7 according to the operation on the rearrangement buttons 26 to 30.
FIGS. 8 to 10 are display examples of only the graph when the ball distribution is rearranged by the rearrangement buttons 26 to 30. FIG. In FIG. 7, the maximum number of five models is displayed on the screen. However, in FIGS. 8 to 10, all models (six models) selected for explanation are displayed.
FIG. 8 shows an example of rearranging “out of ball 1” in ascending order. By rearranging the “out of ball 1” according to the average of the out balls, it is easy to compare the appearance of each model. For example, the model B and the model D are set as the same ball range as the game hall manager recognizes that the ball numbers in the ball range 1 are almost the same, but referring to FIG. Since model B has a large average number of balls and the distribution of balls is uneven, model B is not sweet as a ball adjustment, model D is not spicy, or the ball adjustment of model B is adjusted for each stand. You will be able to guess if there is no looseness.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of rearranging “surprise accuracy” in descending order and “outgoing ball 1” in ascending order. By rearranging according to the presence / absence of the abruptness, the occurrence frequency of the odds is increased in gaming machines 1 having the same outgoing ball range 1. You can easily grasp whether it is high or low. For example, in the case of model E and model F, the appearance range 1 and its occurrence are approximated, but the occurrence frequency of suddenness is more than doubled in model F. Can easily grasp the characteristics of the model. In addition, the model E can expect the same amount of balls as the model F and should set the same amount of balls as the model F. However, since there is a ball range 2, the lower limit is set slightly larger. However, not only the model F but also the model E has a big hit of the number of balls that is less than the lower limit, while one ball range is between the upper limit of the ball range 2 and the upper limit of the ball range 1. Since there is a difference, it can be grasped that it may be possible to reset both the payout ranges.

In addition, the model F has a lot of minuses in the distribution of sudden balls, and it can be easily understood that the player may have an image that the number of held balls is reduced due to the bumps compared with other models such as the model C.
The rearrangement buttons 26 to 30 are rearranged in the order of arrangement, that is, in the order of priority arranged from left to right. However, the priority order may be determined according to the order of pressing. That is, the operation order of the rearrangement buttons selected other than “None” may be stored, and the priority order may be set in the oldest order or the newest order.

Fig. 10 shows an example of rearranging "common" in descending order. By sorting by the average number of balls in the common range shown in Fig. 2, it is classified according to the common ball range regardless of the number of balls in the model unit. You can compare the ball distribution. That is, when there are multiple approximated ball ranges as in model E, the ball ranges can be sorted and sorted according to “ball 1” or “ball 2” as shown in FIGS. However, it may be possible to make a comparison only between models where the appearance range is similar, and there may be no comparison candidate. However, according to FIG. 10, it is easy to compare the output range 2 of the model E with the output range 1 of the model B or the model D whose range is approximate. In this case, if the difference due to the spec is taken into consideration, it is possible to grasp the ball distribution more accurately.
As shown in FIG. 10, in the distribution of balls, the corresponding model and the model above it by pressing any part of the upper half of each model, and the corresponding model and model below it by pressing any part of the bottom half. Pop up the specs of the game. In addition, the winning, prize ball, R, anticipated appearing, etc. of FIG.

When the “target” button 22 is pressed, the management device 5 changes the output target from the model unit to the gaming machine unit, and when the target period, target table, etc. are selected, the jackpot is distributed and output as in FIG. While outputting the ball distribution as a graph, the average output in the output range set in FIG. 3 for the model to which the game machine 1 belongs is output as a graph.
FIG. 11 is a display example of the distribution of each carousel. As in FIG. 7, the ball distribution is tabulated based on FIG.
The “big hit” and “average number of balls” on the left displayed in the distribution of balls for each vehicle represent the number of jackpots for each vehicle and the average number of balls (corresponding to the reference information). The “model average” represents the average number of balls that the gaming machine 1 belongs to (corresponding to the unit reference information), and the “ball difference” represents the difference between the average ball number of each unit and the model average ball number (subtraction reference information). Equivalent).

  In the ball distribution, whether it belongs to the ball range (yellow display (region shown by left slanted line in FIG. 7)) or not (red display (region shown by right slanted line in FIG. 7)) The ball unit to which the ball belongs (for example, in the first ball range in the first range, the ball unit 480 to 519 to which the average TY 514 belongs) (green display (area shown by crossing vertical and horizontal lines in FIG. 7)) In addition, the payout unit (480-519, 1420-1459) to which the model average (488, 1420) belongs is displayed in orange (area indicated by a broken line in FIG. 7).

The upper buttons are the same as in FIG. 7, and only the “model type” button 31 is a transition button to FIG. The same applies to the start date and the end date.
The target model can be selected, and when a button for displaying the selected model is selected, a model selection window is displayed, and the model can be selected. If a target machine number is selected, a machine selection window is displayed in the same manner, and the target gaming machine 1 can be selected.
The “out of ball 1” button 27 and the “out of ball 2” button 28 are rearranged buttons according to the out ball range as in FIG. 7, and the “big hit” button 32, the “big hit 1” button 33, and the “big hit 2” button 34 are Each button rearranges the ball distribution according to the total jackpot number, the jackpot number of the ball range 1 and the jackpot number of the ball range 2.

FIG. 12 is a display example of a graph in the case where a cell belonging to the payout range 1 in FIG. 11 is selected with, for example, a mouse and the corresponding jackpot history is extracted and displayed in a pop-up. This jackpot history is to extract and display the jackpot history of the jackpot belonging to that ball range as the corresponding jackpot history when selecting a square belonging to each ball range (forming a graph). When a square that does not belong to any of the payout ranges is selected so as to correspond to, a big hit may be extracted for all neighboring squares and a big hit history may be output. For example, when a cell corresponding to the second “clash probability” is selected, six cells belonging to the range of “−40 to 120” are targeted. When calculating the average number of balls, the jackpots may be divided into groups as described above, and the average number of balls may be calculated for each group. Further, in order to indirectly select a cell to be selected, any part (such as a vacant part) of a payout range or a payout unit to which the square belongs may be selected.
The “number of times” displayed in the pop-up display is the number of jackpots in the jackpot history, and the state, time, and appearance (T1Y) are in accordance with FIG. In addition, “average” is used to identify and display whether or not a game item belongs to the game unit 1 (480 to 520 for the first machine) to which the average game play (514 for the first machine) belongs. If it belongs to, it will be “◯”.

11 and 12, since the output range 1 of the model A is set to 450 to 650, when the output range 1 and the distribution of the output of each unit are compared, the 2nd is the most average Although it is considered that the adjustment has been made, when comparing the average T1Y and the distribution of the balls of each unit, it can be understood that the second unit is adjusted more than the other units.
In other words, there is a risk that it may be determined that it is necessary to set a higher adjustment of the output of the gaming machines 1 other than the second series by simply comparing the output range 1 and the distribution of the output of each unit. By comparing, it is possible to determine that the number of balls in the 2nd series is large, that the 1st and 5th series are average, and that the other tables need to be adjusted to increase the number of balls a little more.

Also, looking at the 3rd level, the average value is not only a value that approximates the lower limit of the output range 1, but it can be easily grasped that there is a big hit of the output that falls below the lower limit, and the setting of the output range 1 is reviewed. I can understand what should be done.
In addition, when a mass is selected, a big hit history is displayed, so it is possible to understand the situation that the corresponding big hit has occurred or how the big hit belonging to the “average” has occurred. The ball distribution can be grasped.
7 to 12 can be printed out after rearrangement.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
When displaying the big hits in a graph for each gaming machine, the average number of balls that are classified according to the number of balls that the gaming machine belongs to is displayed, so the distribution graph is compared with the average value of the model. It is possible to easily determine whether there is a lot of big hits on each unit.

In addition to the above average number of balls, the model average number of balls is displayed on the graph, so it is easier to see whether there is more or less big hits for each machine compared to the gaming machines of the entire game model installed. It becomes possible to judge.
In addition, since the difference in the number of balls that shows the difference between the average number of balls in each unit and the average number of items in the model is also displayed, the number of big hits in each unit is large or small with respect to the gaming machines of the entire gaming model to be installed. Can be more easily determined.

When selecting a square in the graph, the jackpot history of the big hits belonging to that ball range is extracted and displayed, so the reason for the bias (for example, the bias caused by the player's technology or fraud etc.) It can be easily guessed.
When a big hit history is displayed in a pop-up, “○” is displayed when a big hit ball belongs to the payout unit to which the average payout of the gaming machine 1 belongs, so it corresponds to the average value of the acquired value It is possible to easily grasp how much the big hit has occurred, and it is possible to specify how much the big hit ball is biased by the big hit history.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
For example, a graph other than a bar graph such as a line graph as shown in FIG.
The accuracy range is set for all models, but it may be set for each model. In addition, the common range may not be common to all models, but only an arbitrary model may be targeted as long as it is common to a plurality of models.
The big hit distribution according to the payout unit and the payout range is distributed by the payout ball, but the big hit may be distributed according to the occurrence time (length) of the big hit. Further, for example, it is possible to distribute the jackpot by combining both, such as allocating whether or not there is a sudden hit, and allocating the other jackpot by using a ball.

Although both the first distribution information and the second distribution information are used together, the distribution and the second distribution information are smashed depending on which of the first distribution information is the first range (the unit of the output) Different game information may be adopted, such as distribution according to which of the second range (out-of-game range) the occurrence period of.
The management information shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 is received from a plurality of amusement halls and aggregated. Based on the aggregated results, an average number of balls that are in accordance with the range of balls is identified, and the average number of balls for that model is shown in FIG. May be output.
In the case of rearrangement, the average number of balls in the corresponding ball range is shown as an example. However, the maximum ball number and the minimum ball number in the corresponding ball range, or the ball unit that has the largest number of hits in the ball range. May be. Further, the maximum value, minimum value, or median value ((maximum value + minimum value) / 2) of the payout range itself may be adopted.

  In FIG. 12, when a square corresponding to “Accuracy” is selected, a big hit history is extracted for all neighboring squares, and this is a ball associated with a square adjacent to the selected square (location). This means that it is determined whether the big hit number corresponding to the unit has reached the preset reference number (1), and if it has reached, the same determination process is not repeated for the adjacent cells. For example, the reference number may be arbitrarily set such that the number of big hits is less than five times. Even if the squares are not directly adjacent to each other, if a square belonging to another (adjacent) outgoing unit is adjacent to another square belonging to the outgoing unit belonging to the square, it is determined that both squares are adjacent. good. Further, this process may be executed when belonging to the payout range 1.

The settings in FIG. 2 and the like may be arbitrarily set by the game hall manager, may be set in advance by the manufacturer of the management device, or set from an external (for example, chain store headquarters) management server Information may be downloaded and set.
As a target gaming machine, any gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine other than the illustrated pachinko gaming machines may be targeted. Of course, it is also possible to target a so-called encapsulated type in which the balance of payment is changed by circulating the game media in the gaming machine and giving points. In this case, the game media such as balls and points are included. Adopted the expression of gaming value.

  For example, all of the exemplified game information may be specified directly or indirectly from the game signal. For example, the value acquired during jackpot is not only the hitting ball during the output of the jackpot signal, but also the jackpot during the jackpot that can be indirectly specified by the game signal including the ball during the operation of the so-called delay timer provided after the output of the jackpot signal is stopped Includes acquired value. In addition, the numerical values and items in the embodiment are all examples, and any numerical values and items may be employed, and the illustrated configurations may be combined or not employed. . Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which performs a part of information processing which the management apparatus 5 performs by the relay apparatus 3 grade | etc.,.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, and 5 is a management device (game information management means, first distribution means, second distribution means, output means, reference information identification means, selection means).
