Description

  The present invention relates to a game information management system for managing game information of a plurality of game machines.

When daily game information is managed in a game information management system that manages game information on a game machine, it is necessary to perform a store opening process such as a game information clearing operation when the store is opened. Therefore, in order to correct the game information when forgetting to perform the store closing process, for example, in Patent Document 1, the history information of the game information is stored at a certain period of time, and the store closing time is specified later. It has been proposed to recalculate game information corresponding to a designated time by information (hereinafter referred to as open / close store maintenance).
The game information may not be accurately counted (managed) if the store opening process cannot be performed properly due to, for example, a system trouble during the store opening process. For this reason, when a trouble on the system at the time of the store opening process occurs, it is often desired to perform maintenance on the opening and closing store in order to correct the game information.

JP 2002-346179 A

However, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, if trouble occurs during the opening process, history information at that time may not be stored properly, so it is inappropriate to perform opening and closing store maintenance in that state. There is a risk that it will become game information. Then, fear of being inappropriate game information due to maintenance of the open / close store may be avoided, so that the function provided at the corner becomes meaningless.
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 more appropriately execute an opening / closing store maintenance that modifies game information by changing the opening / closing store time. To do.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an input means for inputting a game signal that can specify game information output from the game stand side, and a game for specifying game information that can be specified by a game signal input by the input means. Information specifying means; sales information managing means for managing game information specified by the game information specifying means as sales information from a storage start time corresponding to the opening time of the game hall to a storage end time corresponding to the closing time; History management means for storing game information specified by the game information specifying means at a preset time interval, and storing the stored game information as history information together with time information that can be specified, and the storage Among the start time and the storage end time, at least one correction operation can be accepted, and the start correction time and the end correction time are set according to the correction operation. And modification time specifying means for performing a time specifying process of constant, the game information indicating the variation of the game information identified by the gaming information specifying means until the completion of the modification time from the start modification time, calculation target the history information The calculation means specified by performing the processing described above , the correction means for correcting the game information indicating the change specified by the calculation means as the sales information, and the correction that is the time corrected by the correction operation A determination unit that performs a determination process for determining whether or not the history information corresponding to the time is normally stored; and, depending on a result of the determination process, a time different from the correction time is started as the time specifying process It is identified as the modification time or the end modification time, or provided with, and suppresses auxiliary arithmetic means the process of identifying the game information indicating a change due to the operation means It is characterized in.

In the invention according to claim 2, the history corresponding to the end correction time in the business day that is the correction target when the auxiliary calculation means suppresses the process of specifying the game information indicating the change. The calculation means is made to perform a process of subtracting the business information on the business day before the business day from the information or the business information.

The invention described in claim 3 is game information provided corresponding to a game machine and specified by the game information specifying means for the corresponding game machine, in accordance with establishment of a preset initialization condition. It is initialized and comprises a table management means for managing cumulative information, which is cumulative game information that increases according to the number of game signal inputs, and the sales information management means corresponds to a plurality of the game management means. The game information can be specified by receiving a table management signal provided and capable of specifying the cumulative information managed by the table management means, and is a preset period after the initialization condition is satisfied The game information specified at the time when the start period has passed, or the storage start information that is the game information specified by the table management signal received first after the initialization condition is satisfied is stored, and the supplementary information is stored. Calculating means, when suppressing the process of identifying the game information indicating the change amount, the history information corresponding to the completion of modification time, or a process of subtracting the storage start information from said sales information to said calculation means It is made to perform.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, when the auxiliary calculation means obtains a determination result indicating that the auxiliary calculation means is not normally stored as a result of the determination process, the time specifying process is prior to the correction time. A time is specified as the start correction time, or a time later than the correction time is specified as the end correction time.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the history management means is a total of game information that is initialized according to the establishment of a preset initialization condition and increases according to the number of game signal inputs. While the history information is stored for information, the specific information that is game information selected in advance as at least one of the history information is managed, and the determination means corrects the storage start time by the correction operation. Of the history information corresponding to the time before the storage start time, the specific information in the history information with the maximum value of the specific information, and the storage start time, or after the storage start time. Among the history information corresponding to the time of the time, the specific information in the history information where the specific information has a minimum value is compared, and if the specific information having the minimum value is larger, the cumulative information While it is determined that the information has not been initialized, if it is small, it is determined that the information has been initialized, and the auxiliary calculation means obtains a determination result that the cumulative information has not been initialized. In the event that the game information indicating the amount of change is specified, the process of specifying the game information is permitted. On the other hand, when the determination result indicating that the game information has been initialized is obtained, the process of specifying the game information indicating the amount of change is suppressed. It is characterized by that.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the determination unit corrects the storage start time by the correction operation, and stores the history information immediately before or immediately after the storage start time. When the history information corresponding to the storage start time is not stored, it is determined that the history information is not normally stored because the history management unit is not in a storable state. , when the judgment result as the in the case where the history the history information for managing unit was not capable of storing the state to obtain a determination result indicating that is not normally stored and the cumulative information is uninitialized , Of the history information corresponding to the time before the storage start time, the time corresponding to the history information for which the specific information is the maximum value is specified as the start correction time And wherein the door.

According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the history management means creates new history information in response to the establishment of the initialization condition, and stores the history information as new history information at a preset time interval. The update target and the history information that was the storage update target before the establishment of the initialization condition is stored as the old history information, the determination means, when the storage start time is corrected by the correction operation, It is determined whether or not there is history information that can be a target of processing for identifying the game information indicating the change in the history information corresponding to the storage start time and the time before the storage start time. The auxiliary calculation means targets a time corresponding to the old history information when a determination result indicating that there is no history information that can be a target of processing for specifying the game information indicating the change is obtained. As said Characterized in that to identify the start modification time.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the change in the game information from the start correction time to the end correction time specified by the calculation process for the history information (the value of the game information calculated based on the correction time) is calculated. A time different from the correction time is set as the start correction time or the end correction time according to the result of the determination process for determining whether or not the history information corresponding to the correction time is normally stored while being correctable as business information If it is determined that the history information of the store opening time and the closing time is not normally stored due to a problem in the system, the target of the history information is changed (calculation target). Change of the history information) and the arithmetic processing itself are suppressed. Accordingly, the possibility that inappropriate game information is calculated by performing maintenance on the opening / closing store is reduced, and processing related to the correction of the sales information (opening / closing store maintenance) can be appropriately executed.

  According to the invention described in claim 2, when the calculation process is suppressed when the storage start time is corrected, the business day is determined from the history information or the business information corresponding to the end correction time in the business day that is the correction target. Since the business information on the previous business day is subtracted, the business information can be secured even when the calculation processing based on the history information is suppressed due to a trouble on the system. In this case, since a general game information management system often manages (stores) business information for a plurality of days, it is possible to deal with it by reducing the number of additional configurations as much as possible.

  According to the invention described in claim 3, when the calculation process is suppressed when the storage start time is corrected, the calculation process for subtracting the storage start information from the history information or the sales information corresponding to the end correction time is performed. . The sales information is initialized when an initialization condition is established by a so-called store opening process operation or the like. At this time, the cumulative information managed by the table management means is also initialized. Now, if a system trouble occurs and only the cumulative information of the stand management means is not initialized, when the sales information management means receives the uninitialized cumulative information, the game information that has not been initialized is It is specified as information. Therefore, by storing the storage start information that is the target of calculation processing for the sales information specified by the base management signal received first after the initialization condition is satisfied after the set period after the initialization condition is satisfied, Sales information can be corrected in consideration of the accumulated information that is not converted. Further, for example, it is possible to eliminate the possibility of adding game information updated by making a trial hit or the like during closing.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, when the determination result that the history information is not normally stored in the determination process is obtained, the time before the correction time is specified as the start correction time, or A time later than the correction time is specified as the end correction time. The sales information is game information from the opening time to the closing time, but when the opening time is corrected, the time before the time instructed by the correction operation is specified as the start correction time, and the closing time is determined. In the case of correction, by specifying a time later than the time instructed by the correction operation as the end correction time, even if the memory start time or the memory end time is corrected, the game information being operated is There is no risk of being excluded from the information.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since it is determined whether or not the cumulative information has been initialized based on the specific information, it can be appropriately determined whether or not the history information has been initialized due to a trouble on the system. That is, the accumulated information before the storage start time is not smaller than the accumulated information after the storage start time unless it is initialized, and it is not increased when it is initialized. When the determination result indicating that the cumulative information has not been initialized is obtained, the calculation process is allowed. On the other hand, when the determination result indicating that the total information is initialized is suppressed, the calculation process is suppressed. Even if the history information is not initialized due to the above trouble, the sales information can be appropriately corrected.

  According to the invention described in claim 6, when the history management means is not in a storable state, the history information is not normally stored, and the determination result that the cumulative information is initialized is obtained. The time corresponding to the history information for which the specific information has the maximum value among the history information corresponding to the time before the storage start time is specified as the start correction time. Even if the history information corresponding to the storage start time is not stored, the sales information can be appropriately corrected by subtracting the cumulative information. In this case, by subtracting the total information, the business information can be corrected appropriately even if the history information during business (from the opening time to the closing time) is interrupted, and the specific information is the maximum value before the storage start time. By adopting such history information, for example, it is possible to eliminate the possibility of adding game information updated by making a trial hit or the like during closing.

  According to the invention described in claim 7, new history information is created in response to establishment of the initialization condition, the history information is stored as new history information at a preset time interval, and the initialization condition The history information that was subject to storage update before the establishment of is stored as old history information. System troubles are most likely to occur at the time of opening a store, and if trouble occurs, there is a high possibility that the cumulative information up to the opening on the day of the business day cannot be secured, but the history of the previous business day stored as old history information Since information can be a calculation target, sales information can be corrected appropriately.

Hereinafter, a game information management system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the plurality of embodiments, substantially the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
(First embodiment)
A game information management system according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 shows an outline of the overall configuration of a game information management system 1 according to the present invention. A plurality of game machines 2 are installed in the game hall, and a lending device 3 is installed corresponding to each game machine 2. These game machines 2 and lending devices 3 are connected to the first relay device 4 two by two. The first relay device 4 is connected to the second relay device 6 via the LAN 5, and the second relay device 6 is connected to the management device 8 via the LAN 7. A game signal, which will be described later, output from a device such as the gaming table 2 or the lending device 3 (hereinafter also referred to as a gaming table side) is transmitted to the management device 8 or the like by the first relay device 4 and the second relay device 6. The management device 8 is installed in, for example, an office in the game hall, and manages various game information to be described later based on game signals output from the game stand side. Moreover, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, for example, several hundred game machines 2 are installed in the game hall, and it is the management object. Note that a slot machine and a counting device (not shown) are also installed in the game hall.

  The game table 2 includes a handle 2a for launching a ball (game value, so-called pachinko ball) as a game medium to the board, a general winning port 2b for winning the ball, a first start port 2c, and a second start port. 2d, a display unit 2e whose display pattern changes according to the winning of the ball, a large winning port 2f that is opened at the time of the big hit, a tray 2g, a holding number display unit 2h, and the like are provided. That is, in this embodiment, a pachinko gaming machine is assumed as the gaming table 2. The game table 2 performs a lottery lottery according to the winning of the ball to the first starting port 2c or the second starting port 2d (corresponding to the starting winning), and based on the lottery result, a so-called special symbol (special symbol) is used. Variation (corresponding to a unit game) is executed on the display unit 2e. Then, when the symbol stopped and displayed on the display unit 2e is a jackpot symbol, a jackpot is generated. While the first start port 2c is a so-called heso-type winning port where the winning rate does not vary, the second starting port 2d varies in the winning rate depending on the lottery result of the regular drawing lottery performed in accordance with the winning of the ordinary drawing winning port 2b. This is a so-called electric Chu type winning opening.

  The gaming table 2 can hold up to a preset upper limit value (for example, 4) corresponding to the start winning that occurred during the symbol change, and start to the first start port 2c and the second start port 2d. It is possible to hold the symbol variation until the total number of winning holds is four. The reserved symbol variation is sequentially executed after the symbol variation being executed is completed. The winning probability (hit probability) of the jackpot lottery of the game stand 2 is 1/300, and when the jackpot is generated, the game stand 2 opens the big winning opening 2f as many times as the number of corresponding rounds (R). In the case of this embodiment, the maximum number of winnings that a ball wins in the grand prize winning opening 2f in 1R is eight, the upper limit opening time of the big winning opening 2f is 30 seconds, and either the upper prize winning number or the upper limit opening time is When the condition is satisfied (when the jackpot end condition is satisfied), 1R is ended. Of the jackpots, the ratio of jackpots that become probabilistic (probable) after the jackpot is 66.6% (2/3). This probabilistic state continues until the next big jackpot occurs, so the game machine 2 continues until the normal jackpot that becomes the normal state (normal) after the big jackpot occurs, and after the big jackpot if the normal jackpot occurs It becomes a normal state.

The gaming table 2 having such a configuration is provided with control means (not shown), and detection of start winnings to the first starting port 2c and the second starting port 2d described above, specification of execution of unit games such as symbol variation, The game state is specified. The game table 2 includes signal output means (not shown), and outputs game signals as shown below as the game progresses by the player.
Out signal = a signal that can specify the number of consumed media (out) output from an out BOX (not shown) that collects consumed balls (balls used in the game). Since one pulse is output for 10 recovered balls (used balls, driven balls), the number of out signals × 10 is specified as the number of used media (out). A signal directly output from the game table 2 may be used.
Safe signal = a signal that can specify the number of acquired media (safe, the number of balls acquired by the game) output from the game console 2. Since one pulse is output for 10 acquired balls (paid-out balls) corresponding to the winning, the number of safe signals × 10 is specified as safe. A supply signal output from a supply device (not shown) may be used as a safe signal.

-Start signal = a signal that can specify the number of symbol fluctuations (number of actuated items, number of unit games) in the display unit 2e (acts) that fluctuates (acts) due to a start winning at each start port output from the game console 2 . Since one pulse is output per symbol variation, the number of start signals × 1 is specified as the start (the symbol variation number). A signal that can specify the number of winnings at each start port may be used as the start signal.
-Jackpot signal = signal that can specify the jackpot period output from the game console 2 Since the status signal is level-output during the jackpot, receiving the jackpot signal is identified as being jackpot.
Special state signal = a signal that can specify a special state (Gunnaka) output from the game console 2. Since it is a state signal (probability change signal) that is level-output during a special state that is more likely to generate a big hit, such as during a probability change in which the jackpot probability is improved than in the normal state, the special state signal being received is identified as being in the special state. It is also possible to use a status signal (time-short signal) that is level-output during the time when the winning rate to the second start port 2d is improved. Further, a period in which neither the jackpot signal nor the special state signal is received is specified as the normal state.

  The lending device 3 includes a touch panel type liquid crystal display unit 3a for displaying various types of information, a dispensing nozzle 3b provided at a ball dispensing outlet from which a ball is dispensed, a coin insertion port 3c, a display lamp 3d, and the like. When the player inserts money into the money insertion slot 3c, the number of balls corresponding to the inserted money is paid out from the dispensing nozzle 3b to the tray 2g of the gaming table 2. The liquid crystal display unit 3a displays game table 2 data, player personal data, and the like. The display lamp 3d is a lamp that displays the operating state of the lending device 3, and notifies the abnormality by turning on, for example, when an abnormality occurs. The lending device 3 outputs a sales signal that can specify the sales amount. Since the sales signal is output as one pulse for every 25 balls lent to the player, the number of sales signals × 25 is specified as the lent ball, and the value obtained by multiplying the lent ball by the lending unit price (for example, 4 yen) 2).

  The first relay device 4 (corresponding to the table management means, the input means, and the game information specifying means) can input the game signal output from the game table side, and based on the input game signal, Game information specified for the two game machines 2 provided, which is initialized when a preset initialization condition (details will be described later) is established, and according to the number of game signal inputs. The cumulative information (elementary data, see FIG. 2 to be described later), which is cumulative game information that increases, is managed (totaled and stored). In addition, the first relay device 4 outputs a table management signal that can specify the cumulative information that is the game information managed by the first relay device 4. That is, the first relay device 4 functions as a so-called table controller (computer) that manages game information on the corresponding game table side for each game table 2. The first relay device 4 has a period for holding game information (memory holding period) set to one business day. The first relay device 4 also has a function of transmitting various data output from the management device 8 side to the gaming machine side such as the lending device 3.

  The second relay device 6 (corresponding to sales information management means, input means, game information specifying means, history management means) corresponds to the plurality of first relay devices 4 (the table management means), for example, in units of gaming islands. The table management signal output from the first relay device 4 is input. The second relay device 6 receives the table management signal, specifies the accumulated information managed by the first relay device 4, thereby specifying the game information of the game table 2, and manages the game information. In the case of the present embodiment, the second relay device 6 is connected to the game information managed by the plurality of first relay devices 4, more specifically, the plurality of first relay devices 4 provided on one game island. The game information of the connected gaming table 2 and lending device 3 is managed. That is, the second relay device 6 functions as a so-called island controller (island controller) that manages each gaming island.

  The second relay device 6 uses the game information specified when the storage start period, which is a preset period after the initialization condition is satisfied, or the first management received after the initialization condition is satisfied. Storage start information that is game information specified by the signal is stored. Specifically, the second relay device 6 receives the raw data list (cumulative information managed by the first relay device 4) shown in FIG. 2 to be described later, and the history information shown in FIGS. Manage every one. The second relay device 6 has a storage retention period of 7 business days.

  The management device 8 (corresponding to input means, game information specifying means, sales information management means, history management means, correction time specifying means, calculation means, correction means, determination means, auxiliary calculation means) is a control comprising a CPU (not shown). , A storage unit composed of a ROM, RAM, HDD, or the like (not shown), and a computer provided with an input / output unit (not shown) that is an input means for transmitting and receiving the game signal and the like. The management device 8 operates according to a control program stored in the storage unit, and manages game information specified by a game signal from the gaming table side input to the input / output unit. For example, output means such as a monitor 9 or a printer (not shown) is connected to the management device 8. Based on the game signal input from the game machine side, the management device 8 provides known game information such as out, safe, sales amount, and payout rate for each game machine 2 (see FIG. 2 described later), It is managed for each model (see FIG. 3 to be described later) or in the entire game arcade. Further, the specified game information is stored at a preset time interval as will be described later, and the stored game information is stored as history information together with time information capable of specifying the time (see FIGS. 4 and 5). ). In the management device 8, the storage retention period is set to 400 business days.

  Further, the management device, as will be described in detail later, in the game information to be managed, at least one of the storage start time corresponding to the opening time of the game hall and the storage end time corresponding to the closing time of the game hall are corrected operation And the start correction time and the end correction time are specified according to the correction operation. More specifically, when a correction operation for correcting the opening time is performed by a game hall manager or the like, the new time input (designated) by the administrator is stored as the start correction time or the end correction time. . When only one of them is designated, the other specifies the storage start time or the storage end time as the start correction time or the end correction time. Then, the change amount of the game information specified from the start correction time to the end correction time (the value of the game information from the start correction time to the end correction time) is specified by performing calculation processing using the history information as a calculation target. . Further, the game information indicating the change specified by the calculation process is corrected as sales information. In addition, a determination process for determining whether or not history information corresponding to a correction time (a new time input by the administrator) that is a time corrected by the correction operation has been normally stored is performed. Depending on the result, a time different from the correction time is specified as the start correction time or the end correction time, or the arithmetic processing is suppressed.

  Here, game information managed by the game information management system 1 will be described. The game information management system 1 manages the raw data list shown in FIG. 2, the game information tabulation shown in FIG. 3, and the history information shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 as game information. The totaling of the game information itself shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 is a well-known process that has been conventionally performed, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The raw data list shown in FIG. 2 is, for example, game information as of September 1, that is, a game output from the game stand side from the storage start time (ie, store opening process) to the storage end time (ie, store closing process). This is sales information indicating the game information specified by the signal, and is game information of the gaming machine 2 of the model A managed in each of the first relay device 4, the second relay device 6 and the management device 8. However, of the game information for eight units shown in FIG. 2, for example, only the game information of the corresponding two game tables 2 is managed in the first relay device 4, and corresponding in the second relay device 6. Only the game information of the four game tables 2 connected to the first relay device 4 (for example, the two first relay devices 4 shown in FIG. 1) is managed. In other words, the first relay device 4 manages game information of the corresponding two game tables 2 based on the game signal output from the game table side, and the second relay device 6 has a plurality of corresponding first relay devices. The game information of the plurality of game tables 2 is managed based on a table management signal (a signal that can identify the raw data list in FIG. 2) output from the device 4. And the management apparatus 8 is based on the table management signal (signal which can specify the history information shown in the raw data list in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 and FIG. 5) output from the second relay apparatus 6, The game information of the game table 2 is managed.

The game information managed in the raw data list shown in FIG. 2 is as follows.
Out = the number of game media consumed at the game console 2 based on the out signal (consumption number).
-Safe = number of game media (number of games acquired) on the game machine 2 based on the safe signal.
Start = the number of start winnings (the number of lottery wins) that activates an accessory in the game machine 2 based on the start signal. “Normal” starts in normal, “Amanaka” starts in Akanaka (probable, including short time).
-Sales amount = consideration (value) for sales balls that are loaned with sales lent by the corresponding lending device 3.
-Jackpot = jackpot number based on jackpot signal. “Normal” is the number of jackpots that occurred during normal times, the so-called “first win” number. "Amanaka" is a big hit in Amana.
-T out = jackpot and sweet out.
-T safe = safe during jackpots and sweets.
・ T1 out = Out of the big hit.
-T1 safe = safe during jackpot.
“Average” is the average value of the entire gaming table 2, and “total” indicates the total value of the entire gaming table 2.

The game information tabulation shown in FIG. 3 is game information of the game machine 2 of the model A managed by the management device 8. The management device 8 calculates and tabulates the game information shown in FIG. 3 based on the raw data list of FIG. The meaning of each item in FIG. 3 is as follows.
・ Base = Rate for each state (normal, sweet). “Normal” is calculated as Base = (Safe−T Safe) ÷ (Out−T Out), and “Amanaka” is calculated as Base = (T Safe−T1 Safe) ÷ (T Out−T1 Out).
Average S = number of symbol fluctuations per unit out (100) for each state. “Normal” is calculated by the average S = normal start / (out−T out) × unit out, and “Akanaka” is calculated by average S = sweet start / (T out−T1 out) × unit out.

-T1Y = average number of balls that hit the jackpot. Calculated as (T1 safe-T1 out) ÷ total jackpot. The total jackpot is calculated as normal jackpot + sweet-medium jackpot.
T1O = average T1 out. Calculated as T1 out ÷ total jackpot.
・ Releasing rate = the ratio of safe to out (payout rate). Calculated as Safe / Out.
-B-sa = the number of subtracted game media at normal time. It is calculated by (out-Tout)-(safe-Tsafe).
・ Customer congestion rate = Ratio of sales to sales balls. Calculated as B ÷ sales volume. Note that sales balls = sales amount / unit price for lending, and unit price for lending = 4 yen.
・ Gross profit = Operating profit on the amusement hall side due to games. Calculated as sales amount− (sales sold− (out-safe)) × exchange unit price. In addition, it is calculated as → replacement unit price = 3.3 yen.

  The history information shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is game information of the gaming machine 2 of model A managed by the second relay device 6 and the management device 8. However, the second relay device 6 manages only the game information of the corresponding game table 2 as described above. Based on the table management signal output from the first relay device 4, the second relay device 6 and the management device 8 calculate the accumulated value of the game information starting from the opening process of the raw data list of FIG. For each set interval (10 minutes) set in advance in units, the stored game information is stored as history information together with time information capable of specifying the corresponding time as history information. In the following description, the opening time is 9:00 (corresponding to the storage start time), the closing time is 23:00 (corresponding to the storage end time), and the second relay device 6 (Island Con) It is assumed that the power is turned off past 23:40 and the power is turned on just before 8:50 the next day.

  The history information shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is a cumulative value from the store opening process. Therefore, if the opening process is not performed at the start of business, game information from the previous business day is taken over and stored as it is. Specifically, FIG. 4 is an example of history information when a store opening process is performed, and game information before 8:50 on that day is not stored. On the other hand, FIG. 5 is an example of history information when the store opening process is not performed, and history information from the store opening process on the previous business day is stored. In the case of FIG. 5, the game information is updated and stored at the time after closing (after 23:00) due to the trial hitting at the time of nail adjustment after closing.

This history information is stored for a plurality of days (for example, 7 days) in the second relay device 6 unit, and all of them store a cumulative value from the time of opening the store at every set interval, and go back by the storage area (multiple days). Open and closed store maintenance processing is possible. As the store opening process, the second relay device 6 stores the history information for a plurality of days (for example, 7 days), so the history information is stored in the oldest (7 days ago) storage area of the previous business day (6 days ago). The game information is overwritten, and the storage area of the previous business day (6 days ago) is updated to overwrite the previous (5 days) of game information, and the latest storage area is initialized. The management device 8 can accept a store opening process operation by an administrator, and executes the store opening process in response to the reception. As the store opening process, the storage area is updated with initialization in the same manner as the second relay device 6 and the like, and a store opening signal is transmitted to the connected second relay device 6. The second relay device 6 that has received the store opening signal performs the above-described store opening process, and transmits the store opening signal to the connected first relay device 4 (Tacon). At this time, the first relay device 4 that has received the store opening signal initializes its game information. That is, accepting a store opening process operation for performing the store opening process corresponds to establishment of a preset initialization condition. Further, the management device 8 can accept a store closing process operation by the administrator, and upon completion of the reception, the management device 8 ends the update of FIG. 2 and transmits a store closing signal to the second relay device 6. The second relay device 6 that has received the closing signal terminates the update of FIG. 2 as well as the management device 8 and transmits a closing signal to the first relay device 4. The first relay device 4 that has received the closing signal also ends the update of FIG. That is, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are game information (sales information) for the period from the store opening process to the store closing process. The history information in FIGS. 4 and 5 is continuously updated even after the store closing process.

  In this way, by storing the raw data list of FIG. 2 in both the first relay device 4 and the second relay device 6, communication between the first relay device 4 and the second relay device 6 during business is possible. Even when trouble occurs or when the second relay device 6 is replaced or initialized due to trouble on the second relay device 6, by receiving the accumulated information from the first relay device 4, The possibility that the accumulated information may be abnormal (the possibility that the game information stored in the first relay device 4 and the second relay device 6 is different) is avoided. Similarly, when trouble occurs in the first relay device 4 and replacement or initialization is performed, the game information can be recovered by inquiring the latest game information to the second relay device 6. Of course, since the same game information is managed in the management device 8, the game information managed by the management device 8 is restored by the game information managed by the first relay device 4 or the second relay device 6, The game information managed by the relay device 4 or the second relay device 6 can be restored by the game information managed by the management device 8.

  The open / close shop maintenance process is a process executed by designating at least one of the opening and closing times. Specifically, a process (corresponding to a calculation process) of subtracting the accumulated information of the start correction time from the accumulated information of the end correction time in accordance with the opening / closing store maintenance operation (correction of the opening / closing shop time) is performed, for example, FIG. In this case, the out is 104160 (game information of 23:00 on the same business day) −54680 (game information of 9:00 on the same business day) = 49480, so that all of the raw data list of FIG. After the correction (rewriting) of the raw data, other game information as shown in FIG. 3 is specified based on the corrected raw data, and the daily sales data is specified. In addition, when only one of the opening and closing store processing is not properly performed during the maintenance operation of the opening and closing store, it is only necessary to set only one of them, but when both are not properly performed, both It should be the target of correction. Of course, both may be subject to correction.

Next, the operation of the game information management system 1 will be described.
First, some cases assumed when a trouble occurs at a specified opening time (correction time) will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 shows that game information is not stored in the vicinity of the opening time and the opening process is not performed (case 1). FIG. 7 shows that the opening process on the second relay device 6 has failed, but the first relay. When transmission of the store opening signal to the device 4 is successful (case 2), FIG. 8 shows that the store opening process on the second relay device 6 is successful, but the first relay device 4 due to a communication trouble or the like. It is assumed that the transmission of the store opening signal fails (case 3). Further, FIGS. 6 to 8 assume a case where the opening time is corrected to 9:00 and the closing time is set to 23:00 in any case, and some abnormality occurs at the time of 9:00 as described above. Since the history information at that time cannot be stored, the case where the maintenance of the opening / closing store could not be normally performed is shown. These abnormalities are not only caused by communication troubles, but also immediately after turning on the power of the game island that supplies power to the first relay device 4 and the second relay device 6, that is, the first relay device 4 and the second relay device. This can occur because the store opening operation is performed during the initialization process of the device 6, or it can occur when the first relay device 4 or the second relay device 6 itself fails. Each case will be described below in comparison with the open / close store maintenance process shown in FIG. This open / close store maintenance process is a process for correcting (maintenance) game information that is already stored. In this embodiment, the management device 8 performs opening / closing store maintenance processing.

<Case 1: corresponding to FIG. 6>
In case 1, the management device 8 performs an operation (corresponding to a correction operation) in the opening / closing store maintenance process shown in FIG. ) Is input (S1: YES), the game information (closing time information) at time 23:00 is stored in FIG. 6, so that the closing time information can be specified. Although it is determined (S2: YES), the game information (opening time information) at time 9:00 is not stored in FIG. 6, so it is determined that the opening time information cannot be specified (S3: NO). That is, it is determined that the history information corresponding to the correction time that is the time corrected by the correction operation is not normally stored.

  In this case, the management device 8 can specify game information before the time (9:00, which corresponds to the start correction time) designated by the correction operation among the game information stored as history information. For this reason (S4: YES), the game information (23:40 game information) at the time when the predetermined value as the preset specific information shows the maximum value is specified as the pre-opening information (S5). That is, in step S5, a time different from the correction time at which the correction operation was performed by the administrator is specified as the start correction time.

  Subsequently, the management device 8 sets the game information (9:20 game information) at the time when the out value has the minimum value after the opening time, more strictly, the time at which the out value on the business day to be corrected indicates the minimum value. The out-of-store information that is game information is identified (S6). When the pre-opening information and the post-opening information are specified, it is determined whether the post-opening information out is more than the pre-opening information out (S7). In this case, the post-opening information out is more than the pre-opening information out. (S7: YES), it is determined that the first relay device 4 has not been initialized (the opening process has not been performed), and the subtraction process is executed (S8). In this case, for example, for out, 104160 (game information at 23:00 on the same business day) -54680 (23:40 on the previous business day, that is, game information at the start correction time at a time different from the correction time) = 49480 The safety is corrected as follows: 85830-50180 = 35650.

  That is, when the time when game information cannot be specified is corrected as the store opening time, the management device 8 uses, as history information corresponding to the previous time, game information whose specific information has the maximum value as pre-opening information. After specifying, the specific information in the pre-opening information and the post-opening information is compared, and if the specific information in the post-opening information is larger, it is determined that the cumulative information has not been initialized. Then, if a determination result indicating that it has not been initialized is obtained, history information corresponding to the start correction time is used as the pre-opening information, and the change in game information from the start correction time to the end correction time is specified. By performing the subtraction process, the calculation process with the history information as the calculation target (that is, the process of specifying game information from the opening time (memory start time) to the closing time (memory end time) designated by the correction operation) ) Is allowed. As a result, the initialization in the store opening process is unstable due to troubles and the business information can be appropriately corrected by the calculation process even when the history information at the store opening time cannot be specified.

<Case 2: corresponding to FIG. 7>
In case 2, when the opening / closing store maintenance operation is inputted in the opening / closing store maintenance process shown in FIG. 9 (S1: YES), the management device 8 stores the closing time information at time 23:00 in FIG. Therefore, the closing time information can be specified (S2: YES), and it is determined that the opening time information cannot be specified because the opening time information at time 9:00 is not stored in FIG. 7 (S3: NO). . Since the game information (8:50 game information) prior to the opening time can be specified (S4: YES), the pre-opening information (8:50 game) with the maximum value of “out” as the specific information. Information) is specified (S5), and post-opening information (9:20 game information) is also specified in the same manner as in case 1 (S6). In this case, as in case 1, it is determined in step S7 whether the post-opening information out is equal to or greater than the pre-opening information out. In this case, the post-opening information out is smaller than the pre-opening information out. From (S7: NO), it is determined that there is no problem in the current game information, and the process returns without performing the subtraction process.

  That is, when the opening time is corrected, the management device 8 compares the specific information in the pre-opening information and the post-opening information, and if the specific information in the post-opening information is smaller, the initialization is correctly performed. Therefore, it is determined that the accumulated information is correct, and the calculation process is suppressed (that is, the subtraction process is not executed). Thereby, when the game information at the time of the store opening process of the first relay device 4 is not initialized when the game information at the time of the store opening process on the second relay device 6 cannot be specified due to the trouble on the system. Even so, sales information can be corrected appropriately.

<Case 3: corresponding to FIG. 8>
FIG. 8A is an example of history information (corresponding to new history information) newly created and updated according to the establishment of the initialization condition (opening process), and FIG. Since the history information is newly created, the history information to be updated before the previous business day and removed from the update target (that is, the history information storing the business information before the previous business day, An example) corresponds to old history information.

  Now, in case 3, when the opening / closing store maintenance operation is input in the opening / closing store maintenance process shown in FIG. 9 (S1: YES), the management device 8 displays the closing time at time 23:00 in FIG. 8 (A). Since the information is stored, it is determined that the closing time information can be specified (S2: YES). Then, the previous game information on the same business day (that is, the new history information shown in FIG. 8A, including the history information of the previous business day if the store opening process has not been performed) is not stored and specified. Since it is not possible (S4: NO), by referring to the previous day history information (that is, the old history information shown in FIG. 8B), the game information at the time when the out as the specific information shows the maximum value (FIG. 8 ( In the case of B), 23:40 game information) is specified as pre-opening information (S9). Then, the process proceeds to step S6, and as in the case 1 described above, the out-of-store information that is the game information (9:20 game information) at the time when the out is the minimum value is specified (S6), and the after-open information It is determined whether the out of the information before the opening of the store is equal to or greater than the out of the information before opening of the store (S7), and since the out of the information after opening of the store is larger than the out of the information before opening of the store (S7: YES), the first relay device 4 is initialized. It is determined that it is not, and the subtraction process is executed (S8). Note that the business information of the previous day (see FIG. 2) may be used for the subtraction process instead of the old history information.

  In this way, by storing history information that has been excluded from the update target as old history information, the second relay device 6 has been successfully initialized, but the store has opened to the first relay device 4 due to a communication trouble or the like. Even if the signal transmission fails, the business information can be appropriately corrected by executing the subtraction process. Further, when the history information before the opening of the store cannot be specified by the new history information, the game information at the start correction time can be specified almost certainly by specifying the pre-opening information with reference to the old history information. Assuming that the previous day's history information is not memorized, there may be a problem with closing the previous day, but the problem may have been resolved by the opening of the day, and many of the troubles occurred during the opening process. This is because there is an extremely high possibility.

  In this embodiment, the subtraction process is not executed when the game information (closing time information) at the closing time (23:00) specified by the correction operation cannot be specified. However, the specified closing time and May specify a different time (for example, a time that is later than the specified time and the latest time) as the end correction time, and perform subtraction processing, or end the current day's business information (see FIG. 2) Subtraction processing may be performed as history information at the time.

The game information management system 1 described above has the following effects.
In the game information management system 1, the change in the game information from the start correction time to the end correction time specified by the arithmetic processing is corrected as sales information, and whether or not the history information corresponding to the correction time is normally stored. Judgment is performed, and arithmetic processing is suppressed according to the determination result. That is, when opening / closing maintenance is performed, it is determined whether game information corresponding to the time designated by the correction operation is normally stored, and the arithmetic processing is suppressed according to the determination result. This reduces the possibility that inappropriate game information based on historical information that is not normally stored will be calculated, i.e., the risk that the game information will become incorrect due to maintenance of the opening and closing store, and correction of sales information. The processing (opening and closing store maintenance) can be appropriately executed. Moreover, the effectiveness and usefulness of opening and closing store maintenance can be improved.

  When calculation processing is suppressed by correcting the storage start time, the business information on the previous business day of the business day is obtained from the history information or business information corresponding to the end correction time on the business day subject to correction. Since the subtraction process is executed, sales information can be ensured even when the calculation process based on the history information is suppressed due to a trouble on the system, for example. In addition, since a general game information management system often manages (stores) business information for a plurality of days, it can be handled with as few additional configurations as possible.

  Since it is determined whether the accumulated information is initialized based on the out (specific information), it is possible to appropriately determine whether the history information is initialized due to a trouble on the system. In other words, when it is not initialized, the out in the cumulative information before the opening time (or start correction time) is smaller than the out in the cumulative information after the opening time (or start correction time). On the contrary, if it is initialized, the out in the accumulated information after the opening time (or start correction time) (more precisely, accumulated information stored first after the initialization) becomes large. This is because there is nothing. When the determination result indicating that the cumulative information has not been initialized is obtained, the calculation process is allowed. On the other hand, when the determination result indicating that the total information is initialized is suppressed, the calculation process is suppressed. Even if the history information is not initialized due to the above trouble, the sales information can be appropriately corrected.

  When the determination result that the history information is not normally stored and the cumulative information has been initialized is obtained, out is the maximum value in the history information corresponding to the time before the opening time. Since the time corresponding to the history information is specified as the start correction time, even if the history information corresponding to the opening time is not stored due to a trouble on the system, the sales information can be appropriately corrected by subtracting the cumulative information. . In this case, even if the history information during the operation is interrupted by subtracting the cumulative information, that is, even if there is a time when the game information cannot be stored between the opening time and the closing time, the sales information is appropriately displayed. In addition to being able to correct, by adopting history information whose specific information is the maximum value before the storage start time, it is possible to eliminate the possibility of adding game information that has been updated by, for example, making a trial hit while the store is closed.

  In addition, new history information is created in response to the establishment of the initialization condition, the history information is stored as new history information at a preset time interval, and is stored and updated before the initialization condition is established. The history information is stored as old history information, so system problems are most likely to occur at the time of opening the store, and if trouble occurs, there is a high possibility that the cumulative information until the store opening on the business day cannot be secured. Since the history information of the previous business day stored as the history information can be used as a calculation target, the business information can be corrected appropriately.

(Second Embodiment)
The game information management system according to the second embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. In 2nd Embodiment, the example at the time of giving up the arithmetic processing by historical information is shown. The configuration of the game information management system is the same as that of the first embodiment, and will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 10 shows a list of raw data (corresponding to business information) for the next business day (September 2) of FIG. 2, which is performed with the game machine 2 on which the initialization process at the time of the opening process is performed. It is game information in which there are no game machines 2 mixed. Here, in this embodiment, the game information is stored after the store opening process, and the time for storing the game information after the store opening process is set in advance. When the time for storing game information after the store opening process (set time, corresponding to the storage start period) is set to 5 minutes, for example, if the store opening time is 9:00, the store opening process is executed at 8:50 10 minutes before. When performed, the game information at that time is stored at 8:55 five minutes later as shown in FIG.

  In this case, the set time is the time until all of the game information in the first relay device 4 and the second relay device 6 is initialized after the store opening process and the initialized game information is transmitted to the management device 8. Set as a guide. That is, during the store opening process, the business information managed by the management device 8 is initialized, and then the initialization information (opening signal) is transmitted to the first relay device 4 and the second relay device 6, and then the first relay device. 4 and the second relay device 6 are set with reference to a period until the game information managed by itself is returned.

This is when the game information managed by the first relay device 4 or the second relay device 6 is not initialized due to an abnormality (trouble) such as equipment or communication even if the game information managed by the management device 8 is initialized. The game information of the management device 8 that has been initialized is prevented from returning to the game information before the initialization by receiving the game information that has not been initialized from the first relay device 4 and the second relay device 6 It is because it is considered to do. Instead of providing a set time, the first game information returned from the first relay device 4 and the second relay device 6 may be associated with a flag, and the returned first game information may be used as storage start information. .
In the case of FIG. 11, four gaming machines 2 (gaming machine ID = 1, 4, 6, 7) have been initialized, but the remaining gaming machines 2 (gaming machine ID = 2, 3, 5, 8) The state which is not initialized is illustrated. In this case, because the game table 2 that has been initialized and the game table 2 that has not been initialized are mixed, game information will be inaccurate if opening and closing store maintenance is simply performed. Therefore, conventionally, the manager of the amusement hall had to give up the execution of opening and closing store maintenance.

Therefore, since the management device 8 of the present embodiment cannot perform arithmetic processing based on the history information in the manner described in the first embodiment, the subtraction of subtracting the game information of FIG. 11 from the game information of FIG. By performing the processing, the business information is corrected as shown in FIG. That is, the management device 8 stores the game information specified at the time when the storage start period, which is a preset period after the initialization condition is satisfied, as storage start information (game information in FIG. 11). When the calculation process is suppressed, the calculation process for subtracting the storage start information from the sales information (the raw data list in FIG. 10) is performed.
FIG. 13 shows the game information of the next business day of FIG. 2 when the store opening process operation is forgotten. The raw data list of FIG. 13 includes game information for the previous business day in addition to game information for the current day. In this case, the game information for the current day can be specified as shown in FIG. 11 by performing the calculation process of subtracting the raw data of FIG. 2 from the raw data of FIG.

That is, when there is an abnormality in the game information as shown in FIG. 10, if the store opening process is being performed, the memory start information is subtracted (the former), and if the store opening process is not being performed, the raw data of the previous business day is subtracted. Processing (the latter) may be adopted. At this time, since the configuration related to FIG. 11 is necessary when the former is adopted, it is possible to give up the abnormality handling when the store opening process is performed, and to adopt only the latter (forgetting the store opening process), or the latter. Since there is a possibility that game information tried during the closing of the store may be mixed together, only the former may be adopted by giving up the latter. In addition, although the object to be subtracted is the business information at the time of closing, the history information at the time of closing may be adopted.
As described above, when the storage start information is stored in the set period after the initialization condition is established and the calculation process is suppressed along with the correction operation for correcting the opening time, from the history information corresponding to the sales information or the end correction time, By executing the calculation process of subtracting the storage start information, the sales information can be corrected in consideration of the uninitialized cumulative information.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to those exemplified in the above embodiments, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
In the relay device such as the first relay device 4 or the second relay device 6, it is determined whether the store opening process is normally executed during the store opening process, and the store opening process (clear) is performed during maintenance of the opening and closing store with reference to the determination result. It may be determined whether the game has been executed normally, and the determination result is also included in the game information.
Although out is exemplified as the specific information, game information other than out may be adopted, or a plurality of game information may be set as the specific information. In addition, it is desirable that the target of specific information and the target of subtraction processing are based on raw data (data indicating the number of received signals), but other game information may be targeted.

The history information of FIG. 4 is stored for a plurality of days in order to make the opening / closing store maintenance a plurality of days, but if the raw data of FIG. 2 and the game information aggregation of FIG. 3 are stored for a plurality of days, For example, for the history information as shown in FIG. 8, it is also possible to execute the subtraction process using the raw data of FIG.
When performing opening / closing maintenance, a calculation result may be displayed in advance, and whether or not to confirm the displayed calculation result may be operable. Alternatively, an update range may be set in the specific information, and if the change in the specific information between the history information is out of the update range, it may be determined that the information is cleared at that time.
Although only the case where the store opening time is corrected is illustrated, the opening and closing store maintenance may be performed by performing the same processing when the store closing time is corrected. In this case, if there is no trouble with the closing time information, the specific information may be specified by searching for the minimum value after closing or by searching for the time closest to the closing time after closing. Further, when searching for pre-opening information or post-opening information, search for a time that is closest to the opening time for at least one of the two (time specified by the first management signal received after the initialization condition is satisfied). You may specify by.

In this case, when a determination result indicating that the history information is not normally stored in the determination process is obtained, a time before the correction time is specified as the start correction time, or a time after the correction time is specified. It may be specified as the end correction time. The sales information is game information from the opening time to the closing time, but when the opening time is corrected, the time before the time instructed by the correction operation is specified as the start correction time, and the closing time is determined. In the case of correction, by specifying a time later than the time instructed by the correction operation as the end correction time, even if the memory start time or the memory end time is corrected, the game information being operated is There is no risk of being excluded from the information.
Although the cumulative value from the store opening process at the time of the store opening process is stored as history information, the cumulative value in record units, that is, the cumulative value from the previous record information specific time point may be stored, and in this case, the store opening time instead of the subtraction process The raw data may be specified by summing up the records corresponding to the closing time. In order to encompass this summation, it is expressed as arithmetic processing in the claims.

Although it is desirable to determine whether normal store opening processing has been executed, such as comparing information before opening of the store with information after opening of the store, the occurrence of trouble occurs in units of the first relay device 4 and the second relay device 6. Since it is performed in the same manner throughout the unit or the whole, the determination is performed in a lump by comparing the pre-opening information and the post-opening information on a specific table set in advance. Also good. Similarly, the subtraction process may not be performed for all units but may be performed by designating in any unit.
Although the store opening time (memory start time) and the store closing time (memory end time) are specified by the store opening operation and the store closing operation, the storage start time or the storage end time may be set in advance. That is, the initialization condition can be satisfied by the store opening operation or when the store opening time is reached in advance. The expression corresponding to the opening time includes the opening processing time and the opening time as well as the opening time, but also includes a time other than the opening time, for example, the time corresponding to the opening time such as 10 minutes before the opening.

All illustrated game information may be specified directly by an input signal or indirectly by using an arithmetic expression. Although the time is stored in the history information, the time may be indirectly specified by storing the starting time and the elapsed time from the starting time, for example. These are included in the concept of time information. In addition, numerical values, the number of digits, items, and the like are examples, and any numerical values may be adopted.
Slot machines that use medals as game media can be used as the target game machines, and game machines other than the pachinko machines exemplified by the so-called encapsulated type and credit type that manage game media only with data are also used. it can. In consideration of the enclosing type, the game medium is expressed as a game value as necessary.
A part of information processing performed by the management device may be performed by the relay device of the first relay device 4 or the second relay device 6, the lending device 3, or the like. Similarly, part of processing performed by the relay device may be performed by the management device 8 or the like. Moreover, you may combine how the illustrated structure including a modification is combined.

The specific information is compared with the specific information in the historical information corresponding to the storage start time or the history information corresponding to the time after the storage start time, and the specific information is the minimum value, and the minimum value When the specific information is larger, it is determined that the cumulative information has not been initialized, while when it is smaller, it is determined that it has been initialized,
When the auxiliary calculation means obtains a determination result indicating that the cumulative information has not been initialized, the auxiliary calculation means allows a process of specifying game information indicating the change , while determining that the cumulative information has been initialized. 5. The game information management system according to claim 1, wherein, when a result is obtained, processing for specifying game information indicating the change is suppressed. The determination means corrects the storage start time by the correction operation, and stores the history information immediately before or immediately after the storage start time, or the history information corresponding to the storage start time. Is not stored, the history management means is not storable, so it is determined that the history information is not normally stored,
The auxiliary calculation means is a case where the history management means is not in a state that can be stored as the determination result, so that the history information is not stored normally, and the cumulative information is initialized. If not , the time corresponding to the history information having the maximum specified information among the history information corresponding to the time before the storage start time is specified as the start correction time. The game information management system according to claim 5. The history management means creates new history information in response to the establishment of the initialization condition, sets the history information as a storage update target stored at a preset time interval as new history information, and initializes the history information. Store history information that was subject to storage update before the condition is satisfied as old history information,
The determination means, when the storage start time is corrected by the correction operation, the game indicating the change in the history information corresponding to the storage start time and the time before the storage start time Determine the presence or absence of history information that can be the target of processing to identify information ,
When the auxiliary calculation means obtains a determination result indicating that there is no history information that can be a target of processing for identifying game information indicating the change , the auxiliary calculation means targets a time corresponding to the old history information. The game information management system according to claim 5 or 6, wherein the start correction time is specified.
