Description

  The present invention relates to a game information management apparatus that manages game information of a game table.

  Conventionally, the game information management device manages the payout rate as game information of a game machine such as a pachinko game machine in association with the game state. For example, in Patent Document 1, the “base” is a normal state and a so-called short-time state. The special mode (sweet mode) and the like are managed separately, and the balls in the sweet mode are managed by the base in the sweet mode (hereinafter referred to as BA).

Now, the specifications of gaming machines in recent years have diversified, and there are differences in the jackpot probability in the sweet mode and the number of times of short-time execution (the number of games in which the short-time state continues) depending on the model. Due to this difference, for example, even if the BA is the same, the player may feel inequality. For example, even if the BA is 90%, if the out in the sweet mode is assumed to be 300 balls due to the jackpot probability of the sweet middle and the distribution of the number of executions, the number of balls that are reduced during the sweet mode is 30 balls On the other hand, if it is 500 balls, it will be 50 balls. That is, the number of balls that are reduced in one sweet mode differs depending on the expected out, and this point is considered inequality, and a model with many assumed outs may be disliked. Moreover, although the player does not feel uncomfortable in a model with a low expected out, the BA may be more than necessary.
Thus, along with the diversification of gaming machine specifications, it is difficult to properly manage the appearance (acquired value) in the sweet mode only by managing the BA as in the conventional gaming information management device. It was.

  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 device for performing a new acquired value management in a special state in consideration of the specifications of a game machine.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to establish a preset start condition by consuming game value, and generate a big hit according to the operation result of the accessory that operates according to the establishment, and the big hit ends It is possible to generate a special state that is a gaming state advantageous to the player later than the normal state, and the special state may end when a preset end condition other than the occurrence of a big hit is satisfied. A game information management device that manages game information, and an out signal that can identify an out value indicating a game value consumed according to a game and a safe value that indicates a game value assigned to a player according to the game A safe signal that can identify the game, a start signal that can identify a start that indicates the number of times that the accessory has been operated, and a special state signal that can identify a special state period that indicates the period of the special state Is input as a game signal that is output from and specifies the special state period, and includes at least the special out that is the out in the special state period, the special safe that is the safe, and the special S that is the start A game capable of specifying a BA indicating the ratio of the special safe to the special out and an SA indicating the ratio of the special S to the special out by specifying game information and / or receiving an operation input. A source information specifying means for specifying source information as information, an expected value of the special S for generating a jackpot in the special state, a TSA indicating the special S between jackpots in a theoretical special state, a jackpot The reason why the occurrence is expected in the special prize period that shows the period from the occurrence of the event to the return to the normal state through the special state An expected continuation number indicating the expected value of the big hit number obtained by subtracting the big hit number serving as the trigger from the expected number of consecutive hits indicating the number of big hit numbers, and an expectation value indicating the expected value of the special S for establishing the termination condition Setting means for setting theoretical setting information capable of specifying a theoretical setting value including at least special S, the original information, and the SA and BA specified by the original information are specified by the original information. When playing with the adjustment status of the gaming table, assuming that the big hit occurs as the theoretical value in the special prize period, and that the termination condition is satisfied by the special S after the last big jackpot occurrence in the special prize period, A theoretical BA that is a game information indicating the difference between the theoretical special out and the special safe obtained during the special state, and in the special prize period in which the jackpot is generated a plurality of times. In the case where a jackpot is generated in the normal state, and in the normal state, the villa theory BA that shows the theoretical BA obtained when a game corresponding to the villa expectation S indicating the theoretical special S in a certain villa period The theoretical BA obtained when the game corresponding to the overall expectation S indicating the theoretical special S in the special prize period is performed further assuming that the extended period is distributed according to the theoretical generation rate. It is characterized by comprising a simulation means for simulating at least one of the general theory BAs indicating the function and an output means for outputting a simulation result by the simulation means.

  In the invention described in claim 2, when the simulation means simulates the extended resort theory BA, the simulation means is represented by a value obtained by multiplying the TSA by the expected continuation number and further adding the expected special S. A value indicated by a value obtained by dividing the expected value S, which is a value obtained by dividing the expected value S by the SA, and multiplying by a reduction rate indicating a value obtained by subtracting the BA from 100%, is simulated as the extended time theory BA. When simulating the general theory BA, a big hit was generated in a normal state by multiplying the TSA by the expected continuation number and further adding the expected special S and the expected special S. In this case, the overall theory S is a value indicated by a value obtained by dividing the overall expectation S, which is a value indicated by a weighted average value of the occurrence rate of the extended period in the case, by the SA and multiplying by the reduction rate. Characterized in that it simulated as A support.

  In the invention described in claim 3, the game machine executes the special S for the end S, which is the special S that is set in advance, so that the end condition is satisfied, and the end S is in the extended game period. It is possible to specify different ending S between the end of the last jackpot and the single end after the big hit in the single-shot period that is the special award period in which the bonanza has occurred, and at least one of the ends S It is a gaming machine that distributes according to a distribution rate that is a selection rate of each candidate among a plurality of candidate ends S, and the theoretical setting information includes an expected special S that differs between the end and the end. When the end S is assigned, a value indicating a weighted average value corresponding to the distribution rate can be specified as the corresponding expected special S, and the simulating means The expectation special S corresponding to the Renso expectation While simulating the value indicated by the ream theory theory BA, the value obtained by multiplying the TSA by the expected continuation number and further adding the expected special S corresponding to the end of the sequence, A value obtained by weighting and averaging the corresponding expected special S with the occurrence ratio of the extended period when a big hit occurs in a normal state is set as the total expected S value. It is characterized by simulating as.

  In the invention described in claim 4, the original information is the recommendation in the case of simulating the recommended BA which is the BA necessary for the theoretical BA server to be a recommended BA server which is a target theoretical BA server. When the simulation means simulates the recommended BA, and the simulation target period is the consecutive resort period, the game corresponding to the consecutive resort expectation S is in the special state. The theoretical BA assumed when the above-mentioned theoretical BA is obtained as the recommended BA is simulated as a ream recommended BA, and the simulation target period is the whole of the special prize period. If there is, the theoretical BA assumed when the game corresponding to the overall expectation S is performed in the special state is the recommended BA, and the theoretical BA is assumed as a general recommendation. Characterized by simulated as A.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the simulating means includes the consecutive resort period, the whole of the special prize period, the single-shot period that is the special prize period in which a single big hit has occurred, the big hit period in the consecutive prize period, and the continuous prize period. It is possible to simulate the theoretical BA size for at least a plurality of periods within a consecutive period that is a part of the extended period and is a period from the occurrence of the last jackpot to the end of the extended period. And the output means outputs the theoretical BA simulated by the simulation means for a plurality of periods in a comparable manner.

  In the invention described in claim 6, the original information can specify a reference start that is the start that is a reference in a normal state, and the theoretical setting information can be used to generate a jackpot in a normal state. It shows an expected value and can identify the TS that is the start of the jackpot in the theoretical normal state, and the simulating means is a value obtained by dividing the reference start by the TS, and is equivalent to the reference start It is characterized by simulating a value obtained by multiplying the theoretical initial hit number which is a big hit number expected when the game is executed in a normal state by the theoretical BA number.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, at least one of the long-reason theory BA and the general theory BA is simulated. It is possible to specify the theoretical BA according to the special S and adjust the game stand after grasping the discomfort level of the player who feels unfairness according to the length of the special award period or the extended resort period. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility of adjusting the game machine so that the BA is unnecessarily high.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the ream theory BA and the general theory BA can be appropriately simulated, the theoretical BA can be appropriately specified.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the consecutive villa theory BA and the general theory BA are simulated based on the expected special S that is different between the end and the end, and when the end S is assigned. Since the villa theory BA and the general theory BA are simulated as the expected special S corresponding to the value indicating the weighted average value according to the distribution ratio, the termination condition (the number of time reductions) in the villa period and the single-shot period is simulated. For game machines with different (end S) distribution conditions, etc.), the theoretical BA size can be appropriately identified in consideration of this point.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, a recommended BA size is set, and a BA whose recommended BA size is a theoretical BA size can be specified as a recommended BA. It is possible to grasp whether it is possible to make a theoretical BA, and it is possible to appropriately adjust the game stand by BA as in the conventional case.
According to the invention described in claim 5, since the theoretical BA is simulated and output in a comparable manner for a plurality of periods, the discomfort level of the player in the special state period that the game hall manager wants to emphasize It becomes possible to grasp while referring to other periods.
According to the invention described in claim 6, although most models have different TSs, for example, if a simulation is performed with a start for one day as a reference start, a player considering the difference in TS between models The game information which can grasp the discomfort degree of can be specified.

Hereinafter, a game information management device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of game tables 2 are installed in a game hall where a game hall system 1 to which a game information management device (management device 6) is applied. Correspondingly, a lending machine 3 is attached. Two of these game machines 2 and lending machines 3 are connected to the relay device 4. The relay device 4 is connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5, and transmits a game signal, which will be described later, output from a device on the side of the gaming table such as the gaming table 2 or the lending machine 3 to the management device 6 and manages it. Various types of information are received from the device 6 and relayed to the device on the gaming table side. The management device 6 is installed in an amusement hall, for example, at an office or the like, and is connected to a monitor 7 or the like as output means. For example, several hundred game machines 2 are installed in the game hall and are managed by the management device 6. In addition, a well-known POS for exchanging prizes is also installed in the game hall.

The game table 2 of the present embodiment is a so-called pachinko game table, a handle 9 for launching a ball (corresponding to a game value) as a game medium to the board, a regular prize winning port 10 for winning the ball, The first start port 11 and the second start port 12, the display unit 13 whose display pattern fluctuates according to the winning of the ball, the big winning port 14 that is opened at the time of the big hit, the upper plate 15 from which the ball is paid out, and the upper plate 15 overflow. A lower ball tray 16 or the like for temporarily storing the balls is provided. The upper plate 15 stores approximately 150 to 200 balls.
The first starting port 11 is a winning port (so-called navel winning port) where the winning rate does not change, and the second starting port 12 is a winning port (so-called electric chew) where the winning rate varies. The second start port 12 is in an open state with a high winning rate when a normal symbol (ordinary symbol) that fluctuates in accordance with the winning at the regular prize winning port 10 is hit. In this case, the fluctuation time of one time in the normal figure is 30 seconds in the normal state and 3 seconds in the short time state (special state). The opening time of the second start port 12 is 0.3 seconds in the normal state and 5 seconds in the short time state. In other words, in the short time state, the normal time fluctuation time is shorter than in the normal state, while the opening time of the second start port 12 is increased, so that the winning rate of the second start port 12 is increased.

The gaming table 2 performs a lottery lottery with a predetermined winning probability according to the winning of the ball to the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12 (start winning prize), and based on the lottery result, a so-called special symbol (special figure) ) Is performed on the display unit 13. Then, when the symbol stopped and displayed on the display unit 13 is a big hit symbol, a big hit is generated. When a big hit occurs, the game table 2 opens the big winning opening 14 as many times as the number of corresponding rounds.
In addition, when the game board 2 wins a start during symbol variation, the game table 2 is cumulatively accumulated up to a preset upper limit value (for example, four for each of the first start port 11 and the second start port 12). The symbol variation that is being held is sequentially started after completion of the symbol variation being executed. In addition, when a start winning is made in a state where the number of symbol fluctuations (holding number) being held is an upper limit (so-called overflow), the symbol fluctuation corresponding to the starting winning is not held.

Here, the specifications of the game table 2 will be described.
The specifications of the game machine 2 provided in the game hall are different for each model. For example, in the case of the gaming machine 2 of model A, the winning probability (hit probability) of the big hit lottery is about 1/360, and the probability variation rate that is the ratio that the big hit becomes the big success (probability variation big hit) that becomes the probability variation state (probability variation) thereafter. Is about 66.6% in both the normal state and the probability variation state. When a big hit occurs, the grand prize opening 14 is opened for 15 rounds (R). The maximum number of 1R winning prizes to the big winning opening 14 is 10, the upper opening time of the big winning opening 14 is 30 seconds, and 1R ends when either the upper winning number or the upper opening time is satisfied. To do.

  In addition, the game machine 2 of the model A is in a short time state (short time) when the probability of winning a jackpot is improved to about 1/31 during the probability change and the winning rate to the second start port 12 is high. Since the probability change will continue until the next big hit, it will continue until a big hit (ordinary big hit) that becomes a normal game state (normal state) that is not a special state such as a big hit or probability change, time reduction, etc., and thereafter The time becomes short until the change is made by the number of times (corresponding to the end S) distributed by the short-time distribution lottery, and then the normal state is entered. The time-sorting lottery is performed together with the jackpot lottery, and a plurality of time-saving times are sorted with a predetermined probability and notified by a jackpot symbol. In the present embodiment, when the big hit symbol has an even number, it indicates that it is a normal big hit, and when it has an odd symbol, it shows that it is a probable big hit.

  Specifically, in the case of the gaming machine 2 of the model A, the relationship (spec) between the number of time reductions, the allocation rate, and the jackpot symbol in the normal jackpot is as follows. [Time reduction: Distribution rate: Corresponding pattern] = [20 times: 40%: 2nd order], [40 times: 50%: 4th or 6th order], [100: 10%: 8th place] Eye]. In other words, in theory, 40% of the big hit is usually distributed to 20 times, 50% is assigned to 10 times, and 10% is assigned to 100 times. On the other hand, if a probable jackpot occurs even once in the special prize period, the number of time reductions [number of time reduction: allocation ratio] = [50 times: 50%], [100 times: 50%] due to the last normal big hit in the special prize period. It will be distributed like. In addition, description is abbreviate | omitted about the distribution of the symbol at the time of probability variation big hit.

  In the case of the gaming table 2 of the model B, the following points are different from the gaming table 2 of the model A. In the case of model B, the probability variation rate is 50% in the normal state, 70% in the probability variation (during the probability variation state), the jackpot probability is 1/360 in the normal state, 1/59 in the probability variation, In the normal state, [number of times reduced: allocation rate] = [30 times: 10%], [50 times: 40%], [100 times: 50%], and during probability change, [number of times reduced: allocation rate] = [100 times: 100%]. Although a detailed description is omitted, a gaming table 2 having various specifications such as a model C (refer to FIG. 2 to be described later) and other models (not shown) is installed in the game hall.

  In this case, the average number of big hits (K) that can be expected at the time of the probable big hit is 3 for model A 1 ÷ (1-66.6%) and 3.3 for model B 1 ÷ (1−70%). Therefore, the model A is assumed to have two big hits after the probability variation big hit, and the model B is assumed to have a big hit 2.3 times after the probability big hit. In addition, the average number of short hours at the time of the big hit that can be expected from model A is 20 times x 40% + 40 times x 50% + 100 times x 10% = 38 times, and model B is 30 times x 10% + 50 times x 40. % + 100 times × 50% = 73 times. The specifications of such a game machine 2 are set (stored) for each model as setting information shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the lending machine 3 performs a so-called replay, a money insertion slot 30 into which a consideration (for example, money) for receiving a ball is inserted, a liquid crystal display 31 for displaying various information, and so-called replay. Are provided with a replay button 32 operated by the player, a payout nozzle 33 for paying out balls to the game table 2, a card insertion slot 34 for inserting a recording medium such as an IC card 8, and the like. The lending machine 3 has a lending unit ball (for example, 125 balls when lending at 4 yen per ball, for example, when a player puts a value into the money slot 30 and operates a lending button (not shown). A lending process for paying out the game nozzle 2 from the payout nozzle 33 to the game stand 2 is executed. At this time, the lending machine 3 stores a balance obtained by subtracting the consideration corresponding to the number of balls paid out from the entered consideration, and an IC that records the balance according to the operation of the return button (not shown) by the player. Issue card 8 (balance card). The lending machine 3 can accept not only a balance card but also a so-called member card in which member information that can identify an individual player is recorded as the IC card 8. When accepting the membership card, the lending machine 3 reads the membership information recorded on the membership card (for example, information such as the membership number and the player's name), and transmits the read membership information to the management device 6. In addition, when a membership card is accepted, a game (replay) by so-called savings is possible.

The following gaming signals are output from the gaming machine side devices (the gaming machine 2 and the lending machine 3) having such a configuration as the game progresses.
Out signal: A signal (operation signal, corresponding to a game signal) that is output from an out BOX (not shown) that collects the consumed balls and that can specify a consumption value (out, corresponding to a game value consumed according to a game) To do). Since one pulse is output for 10 consumed (used, driven, and collected) balls, “the number of out signals × 10” is specified as out. A signal output from the game table 2 may be used.
Safe signal: A signal (corresponding to a game signal) that is output from the gaming table 2 and that can specify a prize-giving value (safe, corresponding to a game value given to a player in accordance with a game). Since 1 pulse is output for 10 payout balls, “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. In addition, it is good also considering the replenishment signal output from the replenishment apparatus (illustration omitted) which replenishes a ball as a safe signal.

Start signal: A signal (a game signal that can be specified) that is output from the game console 2 and that can specify a start (symbol change, corresponding to the number of times an object is actuated) on the display unit 13 (act) that fluctuates (acts) due to a start prize. Equivalent to). Since it is output when the symbol variation is determined, the symbol variation is specified according to the input of the start signal. In addition, it is good also as a signal (signal which can specify the number of start winnings) which shows having won in the 1st starting port 11 or the 2nd starting port 12.
-Big hit signal: A signal that can be specified from the game console 2 to specify the big hit period. Since it is a status signal that is output at a level during a big hit, the big hit signal being input is specified as being a big hit.
Special state signal: A signal that can specify a special state (Akanaka) output from the game console 2. Since the level signal is output during the special state (during time reduction) in which the winning rate of the second start port 12 is improved, the special state signal being input is specified as the special state period. 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 a big hit signal nor a special state signal is input is specified as a normal state, and a period from the occurrence of a big hit until returning to the normal state through a special state is specified as a special prize period.

  The management device 6 (corresponding to a game information management device, original information specifying means, simulation means, and output means) includes a control unit composed of a CPU, ROM, RAM, etc., a storage unit composed of an HDD, etc. An input / output unit for transmitting / receiving the game signal and the like is provided. The management device 6 operates according to a control program stored in the storage unit, and specifies various types of game information based on game signals from the device on the gaming table 2 side input to the input / output unit. For example, the management device 6 performs identification of out based on the out signal, identification of safe based on the safe signal, identification of start based on the start signal, etc., and specifies game information such as a payout rate, an operation rate, or a sales amount. The identified game information is divided into, for example, a gaming table unit, a model unit, a player unit, an entire game hall, and the like, and is totalized.

In addition, the management device 6 stores the specifications of each gaming table 2 as described above as setting information (corresponding to theoretical setting information) shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, the following items are stored.
-TSA: Reciprocal of probability change middle hit probability on spec. That is, the theoretically expected average symbol variation. For example, in the case of the model A, since the big hit probability during the probability change is about 1/31 as described above, the reciprocal number “31” is set. This corresponds to “the special S between jackpots in a special theoretical state”.
-Expected number of consecutive resorts: The number of theoretical jackpots expected when a probability variation jackpot is reached, and is specified by an arithmetic expression of 1 / (1-probability during probability variation). The spec value may be set as it is. In addition, the number of expected consecutive villas is a value obtained by subtracting the big hit number (= 1) that triggered the generation of consecutive villas from the expected number of consecutive villas (for example, for model A, the expected number of consecutive continuations = 3). Also, the setting information can be specified as .0-1 = 2).

-Probability change rate: The probability of a probabilistic big hit if the big hit. “Normal” means a normal state, and “probability” means a probability change state. Further, the probability variation of the probability variation rate (the probability variation rate during probability variation) indicates a so-called probability variation continuation rate. Hereinafter, the 1st to 4th short time numbers and the expected short time number are similarly set to be divided into “normal” and “probability”.
-1st to 4th hour / minute number: The number of hour / hours that become hourly and the distribution rate. If there is no candidate, “-” is stored. In FIG. 2, the time is set up to the 4th time, but if there are 5 or more times to be distributed, it may be possible to set 5 or more like the 5th time. Number: A theoretically expected number of hours and hours that take into account time-sharing, and a weighted average value that is the sum of values obtained by multiplying the number of hours and hours to be assigned to time-sharing by the allocation rate.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
The management device 6 counts out based on the above-described game signal, for example, the input of the out signal, totals the safe based on the input of the safe signal, or starts based on the input of the start signal (valid S. Actually. The number of times that the accessory has been activated (corresponding to “reference start” in this embodiment) is counted. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are examples of totaling actual game information in units of two gaming tables (FIG. 3) and model units (FIG. 4). Of each item, “Sequential S” and “Single S” Other than the above is well-known game information that has been collected. Moreover, the meaning of each item shown in FIG.3 and FIG.4 is as follows.

-Big hit: The big hit that occurred, "normal" is the big hit that occurred in the normal state, "single" is the "normal", the big hit that was in the normal state without becoming a big hit in the sweet that occurred after the big hit In terms of numbers, “Amanaka” indicates the number of jackpots that occurred in Amane.
Out: Indicates the number of game balls (consumed value) consumed at the game table 2 based on the out signal. In addition, “Amanaka data” including other items described below indicates game information in Amanaka. Of course, the management device 6 manages game information in the normal state and the big hit state as well.
-Safe: The number of game balls (the prize-giving value) paid out in accordance with the game by the gaming machine 2 based on the safe signal.
Valid S: The number of times (start) of the actuating of the accessory in the game table 2 based on the start signal.

-BA: The so-called payout rate, a value indicated by safe / out.
SA: A ratio between out and effective S, that is, a ratio, and a value represented by effective S ÷ out. This corresponds to “the ratio of special S to special out”.
・ Sequence S: Of the special prize period that is a special prize period that is a period from when a big hit occurs in the normal state to when it returns to the normal state, the special prize period in which the big hit occurs multiple times (= big hit is a consecutive resort) The average value of the effective S during the consecutive period, which is a period from the last big hit to the end of the extended period. That is, the occurrence of a big hit during the sweet hit is monitored, and when the sweet mode ends after the occurrence of the big hit, the effective S in each consecutive resort period after the previous big hit is totaled, and the number of occurrences of the consecutive hit period (= big hit) "Normal"-"Single shot") The value indicated by dividing.

Single-end S: The average value of the effective S from the first big hit in the single-shot period in which the big hit is only the first time in the special prize period, that is, the special prize period in which the big hit is a single shot. Similar to the consecutive S, the value is obtained by summing the target effective S and dividing by the number of occurrences of the single period (= big hit “single”). Note that the valid S after the last big hit in the special prize period is the valid S for both the consecutive S and the single S.
In addition, “average” of each item is an average value per gaming table 2, and “total” is a total value of the target gaming table 2. However, regarding BA and SA, “average” is an average value of each gaming table 2. The average value, “total”, indicates a value obtained by calculating the total value such as “out” by a corresponding arithmetic expression.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the management device 6 divides into a gaming table 2 unit (FIG. 5) and a model unit (FIG. 6), and totals the actual BA numbers and theoretical BA numbers. In addition, a recommended BA for simulating a theoretical BA size as a recommended BA size (an average value in this embodiment) is simulated. At this time, the management device 6 identifies the game information by classifying the actual BA service by the consecutive period and single-shot period, and by dividing the theoretical BA service or recommended BA by T1, the end of the game, etc. In addition, by outputting the specified game information, the game hall manager can grasp the sense of losing attention of the player's possession by using the Renso BA service or single BA service. Become. The meaning of each item in FIGS. 5 and 6 is as follows. In addition, although each average value is shown in FIG.5 and FIG.6, you may calculate by applying a total value to an arithmetic expression.

・ Renso BA: The “total” of the difference balls (subtract value = out-safe) during the consecutive villa period and the “average (= total ÷ number of consecutive villa periods)” for each consecutive villa period Indicates.
Single shot BA: Shows the “total” of the difference balls in the single shot period and the “average (total ÷ number of single shot occurrences)” for each single shot period.
・ Theoretical BA: A simulation that shows how much difference will occur if the current adjustment situation occurs when a big hit occurs as expected in the corresponding period in Amane, or when the number of time reductions is assigned In terms of value, “expected effective S” ÷ SA × (1−BA), that is, an outage rate when playing a game for expected effective S, which will be described later, which is an expected value of effective S executed in the corresponding period. The value indicated by the multiplied value.

・ Recommended BA: BA for making the theoretical BA size to be a recommended BA size set in advance during the corresponding period in Amane. The corresponding period is the same as the theoretical BA size, and is a value when the recommended BA size is an average of the respective aggregated values, and each is a value represented by 1−corresponding recommended BA size × SA ÷ “expected effective S”. That is, a value indicating the BA for which the arithmetic expression is established by substituting the recommended BA instead of the theoretical BA for the arithmetic expression for the theoretical BA.
These theoretical BA and recommended BA are calculated as follows. In the following, an example of calculation in the case where the recommended BA size is the average of the theoretical BA sizes in each corresponding period of FIG. 6 is shown. Specifically, in the case of the model B in FIG. 6, for “T1”, the expected effective S = TSA = 59 and the recommended (average) BA size = 27.5, so the theoretical BA size = “expected effective S”. “÷ SA × (1−BA) = 59 ÷ 13.6% × (1-90.4%) = 41.4, recommended BA = 1−recommended recommended BA × SA ÷“ expected effective S ”= 1-27.5 × 13.6% ÷ 59 = 93.6%. Although the other terms are calculated in the same manner, since only the first decimal place is shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, some errors occur when the calculation is performed using the above formula. There is.

  Now, these theoretical BAs and recommended BAs are tabulated and simulated according to the corresponding period. Specifically, the corresponding period and the expected effective S are divided into cases as follows. As will be described below, the expected effective S is a TSA (see FIG. 2) if the corresponding period is a jackpot (T1), and a period corresponding to the consecutive S or single S (continuous or single). If there is a time reduction number and a weighted average value corresponding to the distribution rate (both correspond to the expected special S), the expected effective S (corresponding to the consecutive expected S) for the entire extended resort period (T) is TSA. X Expected number of continuations + expected short time during probability change (expected short time during probability change is the same as the end of the series), expected effective S (corresponding to total expected S) for the entire special prize period (total) X (TSA x number of expected continuations + expected short number during probability change) + (1-normal probability variation rate) x normal expected time short number (normal expected time short number is the same as simple), both of which are the setting information shown in FIG. It can be specified by (spec).

T1: Corresponding period corresponds to the period from the end of jackpot to the start of jackpot in the special prize period, that is, the period from the end of jackpot to the execution of the effective S for the TSA, and the expected effective S is “TSA” .
-Consecutive period: The response period is the period from the end of the last jackpot in the consecutive house period to the end of the sweet mode (the consecutive house period), that is, the effective S for the expected change time after the last jackpot in the consecutive house period. The expected effective S (theoretical continuation S) is “probability expected short time”.
・ T: Corresponding period is the total sweetness period in the consecutive villa period, that is, the big hit for the number of expected continuations occurs in the extended villa period, and the big hit occurs under the same conditions as T1, the end of the consecutive period. The expected effective S is “TSA × expected continuation number + theoretical continuation S”, corresponding to the full sweetness period in the consecutive villa period in the case of distribution.

・ Single: Correspondence period is the period from the end of jackpot in the single shot period to the end of sweet mode (single shot period), that is, the period from the end of jackpot in the single shot period until the effective S for the expected short time is executed The expected effective S is “normal expected time short”.
・ Comprehensive: Corresponding period is the whole sweet middle period in all special prize periods. The expected effective S is a weighted average value (= normal probability variation × (TSA × expected continuation number + theoretical continuation S)) + (1) according to the normal probability variation rate (so-called first hit probability variation rate) of “T” and “single”. -Normal probability of change) x normal expected short time).
The management device 6 notifies the game hall manager by outputting (for example, displaying or printing) the game information thus calculated and calculated. And a game hall manager can grasp | ascertain the adjustment condition of the game stand 2, etc. with reference to these game information.

For example, the game hall manager shows the distribution tendency of how many times the short time is distributed in what time allocation by the consecutive S and single S shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. It becomes possible to grasp by dividing into period and single-shot period. In addition, the game hall manager can grasp the actual feeling of losing the player's possession by using the consecutive villa BA or single-shot BA shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. As shown in FIG. 4, the models A to C have almost the same BA and SA, and conventionally, all models were considered to be equally adjusted in sweets. However, as shown in FIG. 6, the theoretical BA size is greatly different in any period. For example, if “T”, the player's ball is 66 balls compared to the model A, In C, more than 100 balls are shown to decrease in sweetness. For this reason, for the model C, for example, there is a high possibility that the ball will be lost from the upper plate 15 during the time reduction, and the player may feel uncomfortable, such as “the ball is gone despite the time reduction”. is expected.

On the other hand, referring to the “Comprehensive” theoretical BA model, the model B, which has the highest theoretical BA model, has the lowest theoretical BA model, while the model B has the highest theoretical BA model. Overall, model B may have the smallest decrease in the number of balls, and it is considered that the player feels uncomfortable, such as “there are few balls”.
In this way, even if the models have substantially the same BA and SA, there may be a large difference in the theoretical BA size when viewed in a fine period (corresponding period). In addition, the phenomenon that the player feels uncomfortable may be a game of sweetness or a total appearance (out of the entire award period) as described above. Therefore, by specifying the theoretical BA according to the corresponding period as in the management device 6, in other words, according to the corresponding period emphasized by the player, the player feels which corresponding period is emphasized by the game hall. Depending on whether the degree of unpleasantness is to be reduced, it is possible to adjust the gaming table 2 by selecting a period in which the theoretical BA reference is made.

By referring to the recommended BA, it is possible to grasp the BA for obtaining the recommended theoretical BA. Therefore, it is possible to grasp how much BA is appropriate for the model. For example, if attention is paid to “Comprehensive” (when emphasis is placed on the player's discomfort during the “Comprehensive” period), the model A is not so different from the actual BA, so it can be adjusted as it is. It can be understood that B needs to be adjusted higher than the actual BA, and that model C needs to be adjusted lower than the actual BA.
On the other hand, when the period of interest is “T” (when emphasis is placed on the player's discomfort during the period corresponding to “T”), the result is different from that of the theoretical BA server. Appropriate recommended BAs can be provided while comparing with others according to intentions (needs). Further, referring to the game information for each gaming table 2 as shown in FIG. 5, when BA and SA are not arranged in the model (when adjustment is different for each table), the player's feeling of dullness (discomfort) You can see how much is different. In FIG. 5, the recommended BA is different for each unit because the SA is different.

  In this way, there is a possibility that the player feels uncomfortable by just referring to only BA or SA as in the past, but referring to the theoretical BA as in this embodiment. Thus, it becomes possible to appropriately grasp the feeling of dullness of the balls during the special award period, that is, the player's discomfort level, and the BA for resolving the discomfort level by the recommended BA. In addition, since the expected value is different between the consecutive period and the single-shot period, the consecutive S and the single S are divided and tabulated. However, when the expected value is the same, it may be tabulated without appropriately dividing. In this case, the theoretical BA and the recommended BA may be specified without being classified and may be calculated without being classified in the calculation process. In addition, although the game table that distributes the number of times of short-time is described as an example, a game table that employs a fixed number of times of short-time that is not distributed may be targeted.

  Further, the BA size may be specified in consideration of the big hit probability in the normal state. For example, the effective S in normal time is set in advance (for example, 3600), and the expected jackpot number (for example, 3600 × 360 = 10) is specified by dividing by TS (for example, 360) that is the reciprocal of the jackpot probability. Multiplying the number of jackpots by a theoretical BA (for example, “comprehensive”), the reduced feeling in the special prize period when the game is played for the set effective S, that is, whether the big hit probability is sweet and the special prize period is generated frequently. It is possible to grasp the feeling of decrease in the special prize period after considering whether the special prize period occurs with little pain.

Furthermore, since BA and SA can be estimated by specs etc. without obtaining actual data, when the estimated value, that is, the data to be used is specified by substituting it into the above equation, the theoretical BA size is greatly reduced. The management device 6 of the present embodiment can be used for simulation of whether or not to introduce the game machine 2 before the introduction of the game machine 2, for example, foreseeing the introduction of the model.
In addition, in this embodiment, since the game machine 2 in which the BA is constant during the sweet mode is assumed, it is exemplified that the reduction rate is specified after the total of the expected effective S in the target period is specified. In consideration of the case where the BA differs depending on whether or not it is performed (for example, “T1” period or “continuous end” period), the theoretical BA size may be specified by dividing each BA and counting the BA. . Specifically, a theoretical BA size is specified by different BAs for “T1” and “sequential”, and further, the calculated theoretical BA size is calculated based on the expected continuation number (T1 × expected continuation number + sequential number). Etc.).

  In addition, as described above, the effective S at the normal time (start that becomes the basis of simulation in the normal state) is set in advance, and the expected jackpot number is specified by dividing by TS which is the reciprocal of the jackpot probability, Multiplying the jackpot number by a theoretical BA (for example, “Comprehensive”) makes it possible to grasp the feeling of diminished during the special award period when playing for the set effective S, so most models have different TSs. However, if, for example, a start for one day is simulated as a reference start, game information that can grasp the discomfort level of the player in consideration of the difference in TS between models can be specified.

According to this embodiment described above, the following effects can be obtained.
Since at least one of the Renso theory BA and the general theory BA is simulated, the length assumed for the special prize period or the Renso period, that is, the special out (BA) or special S (valid S) It is possible to specify the corresponding theoretical BA, and to adjust the game table 2 after grasping the discomfort level of the player who feels unfair according to the length of the special award period or the consecutive resort period. At the same time, it is possible to reduce the possibility of adjusting the game table 2 to have an unnecessarily high BA.

  When simulating a villa theory BA, the villa expectation S, which is a value obtained by multiplying TSA by the expected number of continuations and adding the expected special S (expected effective S), is divided by SA. When simulating using the value indicated by the value obtained by multiplying the BA by 100%, and multiplying by the reduction rate indicating the value obtained by subtracting the BA from 100%, the TSA is multiplied by the expected duration, The total expectation S which is a value indicated by a value obtained by weighted averaging the expected special S and the expected special S with the occurrence ratio of the extended villa period when a big hit occurs in a normal state is set as SA. Since the simulation is performed by using the value indicated by the value obtained by dividing by the reduction rate and multiplying by the decrease rate, it is possible to appropriately simulate the villa theory BA and the general theory BA, respectively, and to identify the theory BA appropriately. Can

As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the consecutive villa theory BA and the general theory BA are simulated based on the expected special S that is different between the end and the end, and when the end S is assigned, Since the villa theory BA and the general theory BA are simulated as the expected special S corresponding to the value indicating the weighted average value according to the distribution rate, the end condition (short time count ( With regard to the gaming machines 2 having different distribution conditions and the like at the end S), the theoretical BA size can be appropriately specified in consideration of this point.
Since the recommended BA size is set and the recommended BA size is calculated as the recommended BA as the theoretical BA size, it is possible to grasp how much BA should be the target theoretical BA size. As in the prior art, the gaming table 2 can be appropriately adjusted by the BA. That is, the present invention can be applied without changing the conventional management system that manages the game arcade at the BA.
As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a theoretical state is simulated for a plurality of periods such as “T1” and “sequential end”, and the results are output so that they can be compared with each other. It becomes possible to grasp the discomfort level of the player in reference to other periods.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the one exemplified in the above-described embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
The average value obtained by the theoretical BA size is used as the recommended BA size for calculating the recommended BA. For example, the corresponding big hit hit (for example, T1 or the end of the game, T1Y = hit big hit (safe-out) , If T, T1Y x number of expected continuations, etc.) is set, and a value corresponding to the ratio set as T1Y is used as a recommended BA size. May be adopted.
Further, when calculating the recommended BA, the SA is used as the actual data, but the set value or variable such as the value set by the operation input or the value according to the BA specified from the comparison result of the BA and SA. May be adopted.

The theoretical BA and the recommended BA are specified by being divided by a plurality of corresponding periods, but may be specified only for a specific period, for example, only comprehensive.
In the embodiment, for the sake of explanation, it is exemplified that the reference start (the set value of the effective S at the normal time) is set as it is. However, as in the embodiment, the actual data can be set as the reference start or the reference out (for example, Total out of one business day), S% indicating the ratio of out and effective S in normal condition, and T1O which is the average out of one big hit, by setting TS ÷ S% of out in normal condition The theoretical BO, which is the expected value, and the theoretical T-out, which is the expected value of the entire award period, can be specified by the overall expectation S ÷ SA + T1O × the number of expected consecutive times × normal probability variation rate + T1O × (1−normal probability variation rate). Therefore, the reference start may be set according to the ratio (for example, calculated as reference out × theoretical BO ÷ (theoretical BO + theoretical T out) × S%).

In one embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the TSA and the expected number of continuations were processed without considering that big hits occurred during the time reduction. However, as TSA (= sweet hitting probability in the middle), the big hits during the time reduction were made. In consideration of the occurrence of this, the calculation may be performed by setting the TSA, the expected number of continuations, and the like.
The settings shown in FIG. 2 or the like can be set arbitrarily by the game hall administrator, or set in advance by the manufacturer of the management device 6 or the like, or the setting information can be downloaded from an external management server (for example, chain store headquarters). May be set.
As an example of counting, one business day was illustrated, but it is possible to arbitrarily set a business period including a plurality of business days and extract game information in that period as a target for aggregation, in which case The average information is preferably the average value per vehicle per business day. Further, a business day (output date) set in advance may be specified by outputting a form without specifying a period.

  All illustrated game information may be specified directly by an input signal or indirectly by using an arithmetic expression. In addition, numerical values, the number of digits, items, and the like are examples, and any numerical values may be adopted. Furthermore, the illustrated arithmetic expression is an example, and for example, the theoretical BA of the entire award period is obtained by calculating the corresponding extended villa expectation S, dividing by SA, and multiplying by the decrease rate. What kind of operation formulas, such as calculating the desired calculation value as it is without obtaining the calculation value in the calculation assumption, such as calculating the BA calculation time x expected number of continuations + the theoretical BA of the end of the calculation, etc. The game information may be specified by a calculation method or the like. In addition, when specifying the gaming state, a delay period is provided according to the time after the special state ends by a so-called delay timer or the number of executions of unit games such as valid S, and the period is included in the period of the special state. You may do it.

As the target gaming machine 2, a pachinko gaming machine other than the illustrated pachinko gaming machine such as a so-called encapsulated type that manages gaming media only by data, a slot machine, or the like can be adopted. When it is adopted for a slot machine, a theoretical BA size or the like may be specified by starting a game, setting a big hit as a bonus, and setting a special state as RT. Note that a game medium is expressed as a game value as necessary in consideration of so-called enclosing type and credit type. In addition, as an example of the special condition termination condition, the termination condition other than the big hit (execute the specified number of short times) is used. If the termination condition other than the big hit is satisfied, the termination may be caused by the big hit. Of course, there is no problem. In this case, a theoretical BA or a recommended BA may be simulated in consideration of that fact (occurrence rate, etc.).
Part of the processing performed by the management device 6 may be performed by the lending machine 3, the relay device 4, or the like. Moreover, you may combine how the illustrated structure including a modification is combined.
