Description

  The present invention relates to a game hall system provided in a game hall where a plurality of gaming machines are installed.

  The game hall expects the effect of increasing the number of players coming to the store by replacing gaming machines, and wants to know how much effect it has been by switching to a new machine. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes to grasp how much operation has been obtained after the introduction of a new machine by presenting the operation transition for each unit period from the model introduction date.

JP 2005-224424 A

When switching to a new stand, the player of the new stand that the game hall expects is a player who has played a removal stand that has been replaced with a new stand, or a new player who has not visited the store before the change. In other words, if a player who was playing a model that had not been removed played a new stand, it would not be possible to bring a player or a new player to the store, so that the overall operation of the amusement hall would increase. This is because it may decrease.
However, simply grasping the operation of the new machine or comparing the operation status of the entire game hall before and after replacement, has the operation increased due to the player who the game hall intends playing the new machine? Or it is difficult to grasp whether the operation has increased due to other factors.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide game information capable of grasping whether a player who is expected by the game hall is playing a new table when it is replaced with a new one. The object is to provide a game system.

The present invention is a game hall system provided in a game hall where a plurality of gaming machines are installed,
A setting means for setting introduction date information capable of specifying an introduction date corresponding to an installation date when the gaming machine is installed in the game arcade in association with model identification information capable of identifying the model of the gaming machine; and each gaming machine A player specifying means for specifying player identification information for identifying a player of the corresponding gaming machine, player identification information specified by the player specifying means, and a corresponding business Selects the player information management means that manages the business day information that can identify the day and the model information that can identify the model of the corresponding gaming machine, and the selected model that is the information identification target model. Selected model specifying means for specifying by receiving, an introduction period specifying means for specifying an introduction period that is a period until a preset reference elapsed period starting from the introduction date of the selected model, and the introduction Said in the period The introduction player is択機species of the player, and the player identification information managed by the player information managing means, and working days information, and introducing the player specifying means for specifying by the model information, the selection model An original period specifying means for specifying an original period that is a period retroactive to a preset reference retroactive period starting from the introduction date, and a moving source model that is a model played by the introducing player in the original period, the game party and the player identification information managed by the information management unit, and sales date information, identified by the model information, and the player distributing means distributes the introduced player by the movement original model of the introduction player A non-moving player specifying means for specifying a non-moving player who is a player other than the moving player who is a player distributed by the moving source model by the player distributing means, and the moving source model Source information specifying means for specifying source information constituted by the divided game information relating to the mobile player and game information relating to the non-moving player, and identifying the source information as the model identification of the selected model And an output means for outputting the information in association with information (claim 1).

The game system according to claim 1,
The player information managing means, the game machine information is updated according to the game specified by the game signal outputted from the gaming machine side, the player identification information, the business day information, and corresponding to the model information with managed, the player distributing means, said extracts the game machine information introduced player units in the original period, calculated by dividing the extracted game machine information for each model, the result of the calculation the models game machine information identified becomes the highest, the at introducing player became extraction target mobile by identifying as the original model, and identifies the moving source model with the introduction player unit, the mobile The source information specifying means totals the number of mobile players, which is the number of introduced players in which the source model is specified, for each model, and specifies the number of mobile players as game information related to the mobile player, Move MAY model is the number of introducing a player who did not identify the number of non-moving player to be identified as the gaming information on the non-moving player (claim 2).

In the game room system according to claim 1 or 2,
The selected model specifying unit may specify a plurality of models as the selected model on condition that the introduction date is the same when specifying the selected model.

In the game hall system according to any one of claims 1 to 3,
The setting means includes at least one alternative model information of the model identification information of the model removed instead of introducing the corresponding model and the model identification information of the model introduced instead of removing the corresponding model. It can be set in association with the model identification information, and the movement source information specifying means uses the replacement model information to identify an alternative model that has been removed by introducing the selected model among the movement source models. The output means may output the alternative model so as to be identifiable when outputting the movement source information.

The game system according to claim 4,
While the setting means can set a plurality of machine numbers of gaming machines installed at the game hall in association with the model identification information, at least a part of the machine number corresponding to the model identification information can be specified. If it is set to be in a non-existing state, the model identification information is used as the model identification information of the removed model, and the unit number is newly associated instead of specifying the unit number of the removed model. When the model number corresponding to the model identification information is set in association with the model identification information and the machine number corresponding to the model identification information is set in association with a new model, the model identification information is introduced. As the model identification information of the selected model, instead of the model number of the introduced model being set in association with the new model, the model number set before the model set so that the model number cannot be specified in association with it Setting in association with the model identification information, the by executing at least one, the alternative model information may be configurable in association with the model identification information (claim 5).

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the overall configuration of a game system. A gaming device 2 corresponding to the gaming machine 1 is installed in the game hall, and a management device 3 (setting means, player information management means, selected model specifying means, introduced player specifying means, original period specifying means is provided in the management room. Player distribution means, non-moving player identification means, source information identification means, and output means). The relay device 4 is connected to two gaming machines 1, two gaming devices 2 and a management device 3 via a LAN 5. The management device 3 manages game information for each gaming machine 1 by receiving a gaming signal transmitted from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the gaming device 2, etc.) via the relay device 4.

  The gaming machine 1 to be managed performs a lottery lottery in response to a ball (game medium) launched on the board surface 7 by an operation on the operation handle 6 constituting the launching device winning (starting winning) at the starting port 8, The lottery result is notified by symbol variation performed on the liquid crystal display unit 9, and a big hit state (special game state) is set according to the variation result. When a big hit occurs, the grand prize opening 10 is opened for 15 rounds (R). The balls paid out from the gaming machine 1 by winning are received by the upper tray 11, and the overflowing balls when the upper tray 11 is full are received by the lower tray 12. In addition, the upper limit winning number of 1R is 10, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R is ended when either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied. In addition, the said specification is a mere illustration and may correspond to the game machine of what kind of specification.

The next game signal is output from the gaming machine side.
Out signal = a signal (operation signal) that can specify a consumption value (out) output from an out BOX that collects consumed balls. Since one pulse is output for 10 recovered (consumed, used, driven) balls, “out signal number × 10” is specified as out. A signal output from the gaming machine 1 may be used.
Safe signal = a signal that can specify a prize-giving value (safe) output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is output for 10 payout balls awarded in accordance with a prize, “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. The supply signal output from the supply device may be a safe signal.
Start signal = a signal that can specify a start (symbol change, actuating action, unit game) in the liquid crystal display unit 9 (combination) that changes (actuates) due to a start winning that is output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is output when the symbol variation is confirmed, the symbol variation is specified according to the signal input. In addition, it is good also as a signal which shows having won the starting port 8.
Jackpot signal = A signal that can be specified from the gaming machine 1 to specify the jackpot period. Because it is a status signal that is level output during a big hit, it is specified that a big hit signal is being received as a big hit
Special state signal = a signal that can specify a special state (Gunnaka) output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is a status signal that is output in a special state (during a short time) when the winning rate of the starting port 8 is improved, the special state signal being received is specified as being in the special state. It is also possible to use a status signal (probability change signal) that is output at a level during probability change in which the big hit probability is improved. Also, the period when neither the big hit signal nor the special state signal is received is specified as the normal state.

  The gaming device 2 pays out a ball corresponding to a consideration from a ball outlet 14 when money is inserted from the money insertion slot 13. Further, a face authentication camera 15 (hereinafter referred to as “camera”, which corresponds to a player specifying means) is built in, and face data obtained by photographing the upper body centering on the face of the corresponding player is output to the management device 3. When the replay button 17 is pushed down with the membership card inserted into the card insertion slot 16, it is reduced to one unit within the range of the number of balls stored in the management device 3 corresponding to the membership card. The corresponding number of balls is paid out from the ball payout exit 14. The membership card inserted in the card insertion slot 16 is discharged by pressing the issue button 18.

  The management device 3 includes a control unit, a transmission / reception unit that transmits and receives game signals, an output unit that includes a monitor and a printer that outputs game information, and an operation that includes a keyboard and a mouse that accept input of setting information from a game hall manager. Part. The control unit includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an I / O, and the like, and creates game information based on various game signals from the gaming machine side. This game information includes game data such as table data and sales data in a range in which it can be determined that one player has continued to play after the start of the game based on the face data output from the face authentication camera 15. Accumulated. Such identification by face authentication is performed by extracting and digitizing the features of the face (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) and comparing the digitized data. Details thereof are omitted.

The introduction date setting and model setting are set in advance in the management apparatus 3 in relation to the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows the introduction date setting. The following items are set corresponding to.
Model name (equivalent to model identification information) = the name of the gaming machine 1, which is newly set by operation input. Note that a model that has already been removed, such as model B, is also stored as setting information.
Type = A type (group) according to the gaming tendency of the gaming machine 1. From the max, middle, light middle, and light, the expected investment amount until winning a certain amount of balls according to the big hit, the big hit probability, etc. Select the corresponding type by.
Introduction date (corresponding to introduction date information) = A business day when the gaming machine 1 is newly introduced and set by operation input.
Removal date = the last business day when the gaming machine 1 is removed (the blank indicates that it has been installed at this time and has not reached the removal date). Although it may be set by an operation input, when the game hall starts business without setting a machine number in the model setting of FIG. 3 to be described later, the business day immediately before that may be specified as the removal date. .
Removed model (equivalent to alternative model information) = model removed instead of introducing a compatible model. Although it may be set by an operation input, a model with the same introduction date and removal date of the corresponding model, or a model having the same model number range as the corresponding model may be identified as the removal model. When such a specific method is adopted, the replacement model can be specified by the removal information and the introduction date. Therefore, when the gaming machine 1 is introduced, it is only necessary to set the machine number corresponding to the introduced model. The model information can be set and the setting operation can be facilitated. In addition, since 10 identical models may be introduced and 2 models may be removed by 5 units, a plurality of models may be set as removed models.

FIG. 3 shows the model setting. In addition to the model name, the following items are set. The model name is set by selecting the installed model from the introduction date setting in FIG.
Unit number = unit number is the corresponding unit number range. Set the range of machine numbers currently installed.
Corresponding gaming machine groups that are classified according to the type of gaming media, the unit price, the unit price for exchange, etc., such as type = 4P (pachinko with a unit price of 4 yen), 1P, 20G (pachislot with a unit price of 20 yen) are set.

  In the gaming apparatus 2, the player of the corresponding gaming machine 1 can be imaged by the face authentication camera 15, and it is always determined whether the player can be specified (exists) by the face authentication camera 15, and cannot be specified. The player is imaged when an imaging condition such as changing from a state to an identifiable state is established, and the identity of the captured player is determined, and then the player's jackpot history is stored in association with the face image ID. To do.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a so-called jackpot history for a player who is identified by a face image, and the following items are set.
Time = record-corresponding time = player shooting time or previous jackpot end time, but any time may be used as long as it corresponds to the record, such as the jackpot occurrence time.
Sales amount = Sales amount corresponding to sales item (sales item x unit price of lending (4 yen, etc.))
Out, Safe = Number of balls thrown into the gaming machine 1 (consumption value) and number of balls paid out from the gaming machine 1 (winning winning value)
S = Number of symbol variations (start)
TY = Out of play from jackpot occurrence to normal condition (safe-out)
Jackpot = Jackpot number Mochitama = Mochitama corresponds to the number of possessed balls (acquired value = sales balls + safe-out)
Balance = Cumulative total of player's balance (money ball x exchange unit price (3 yen, etc.)-sales amount) (add previous record)
Face image ID = Face image ID (corresponding to player identification information) is the ID of the captured image (4 digit serial number, 3 digit serial number)
Machine number = game machine number, and the total is the number of face images and the number of gaming machines corresponding to each other. In this embodiment, all information including out and safe corresponds to gaming machine information.

  Also, the double line breaks in FIG. 4 indicate that there was a so-called table movement (game to a different table number). In FIG. 4, all the players specified by the face image are stored in association with business days. Here, the determination that the player is the same based on the face image is performed by storing the player's face image captured when a predetermined imaging condition such as detection of the start of the game is established in association with the game number. If the similarity between the face image and the new face image is greater than or equal to the allowable value, a well-known identification method may be adopted for the same player as the gaming machine, but not only the face image but other biological information such as a fingerprint, Any known player specifying means such as a so-called member card may be adopted.

The management device 3 stores a game history for each player, which is obtained by counting FIG. 4 for each model, in units of business days.
FIG. 5 shows the game history of each model based on FIG. That is, the model name is specified by the player number of the jackpot history for each player in FIG. 4 and the model setting in FIG. 3, and the game information for each model is tabulated. Here, the game time indicates the time from the first specification of a player to the last specification in the corresponding model, that is, the time from the start of the game to the end of the game. In addition, you may employ | adopt other well-known time identification methods which multiply and specify a unit time (1.6 seconds etc.) out. The face image ID is a representative (first) face image ID.

  FIG. 5 also shows business days for all the players as in FIG. 4 (corresponding to business day information together with FIG. 4. Note that the business day information may be information that can identify the corresponding time such as the time of FIG. 4, but at least the business day. Are stored in association with each other. Although FIG. 5 is specified based on FIG. 4, FIG. 5 may be directly updated by a game signal without going through FIG. Further, FIG. 4 is stored until a preset period elapses, such as 3 months and FIG. 5 is 13 months.

  Now, when the gaming machine 1 is replaced with a new machine, the player of the new machine that the game hall expects is a player who has played the removal machine replaced with the new machine, or a new game that has not been visited before the replacement. It is a person. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the movement source analysis form indicating the tendency of the type of game that the player who played the gaming machine 1 introduced with the new machine played before the introduction of the new machine is output. The procedure for outputting the source analysis form will be described below.

FIG. 6 shows an output example of the migration source analysis form, and the output procedure will be described with reference to a flowchart showing the operation of the management apparatus 3. A common store selection unit 20, date selection unit 21, and form selection unit 22 are displayed on all the forms including the movement source analysis form 19.
When the administrator outputs (displays or prints) the source analysis form 19, the store corresponding to the store selection unit 20, the reference date for the date selection unit 21, and the movement to be output for the form selection unit 22 Select the original analysis form. Then, the source analysis form 19 is displayed, and the introduction model information display unit 23 is displayed on the left side of the source analysis form 19, and the source model information display unit 24 is displayed on the right side. The installed model information display unit 23 displays a type selection unit 25, a first display button 26, and an installed model information display unit 27. The installed model information display unit 27 includes a selection button 27a, a new model column 27b, an introduction date. A field 27c, a game experience number field 27d, an actual number / unit field 27e, a game number field 27f, and a repeat rate field 27g during the period are set. The initial display of the selection button 27a, the new model column 27b, the introduction date column 27c, the gaming experience number column 27d, the actual number / unit column 27e, the number-of-games column 27f, and the repeat rate column 27g during the period is blank.
The movement source model information display unit 24 is set with a category selection unit 28, a second display button 29, a movement source information display unit 30, and a store visit column 31 during the period. The movement source information display unit 30 includes a rank column 30a, A source model column 30b is set. The initial display in the rank column 30a and the source model column 30b is blank.

The administrator presses the first display button 26 after selecting a type to be extracted as a new base (introduction base) in the type selection unit 25.
FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the migration source analysis form specifying process by the management apparatus 3. The management device 3 determines whether or not the first display button 26 is pressed (S1). When the first display button 26 is pressed by the administrator (S1: YES), the date selection unit 21 selects the first display button 26. The model set in FIG. 2 is identified as the introduction model with the reference date and later as the introduction date (S2), and the introduction period, which is the period after the predetermined period (7 days) from the introduction date, is identified for each introduction model ( S3). Next, after identifying the players who played in the introduction period for each introduced model, and extracting and aggregating game information such as the number of players (number of experienced players) (S4), it corresponds to the introduced model information display unit 27 The game information (introduced model information) to be displayed is displayed (S5).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the name of the introduced model is displayed in the upper part of the new model column 27b of the introduced model information display unit 27, the number and type of the installed model are displayed in the lower part, and the introduction date, In the game experience number field 27d, the number of games (number of introduced players) in the introduction period is displayed. The introduction period is a period until the reference elapsed period (7 days) set in advance starting from the introduction date of each introduction model, including the introduction date. For example, the introduction date is June 18th. If there is, the introduction period is from June 18 to June 24, so that different introduction periods are specified depending on the introduction date of each model. The number of gaming experience shows not the total number of people but the actual number of people (actual number of people with the same player). In the actual number / unit column 27e, the average number of players in the introduction period (number of experienced players / number of units), and in the number of games column 27f, the average number of games per player (total number of people (the same for different business days) In the repeat rate column 27g during the period, the ratio of the number of players who played a plurality of times during the introduction period (multiple players) / the actual number) is displayed in the period repeat rate column 27g. In FIG. 6, the date of introduction is sorted in order from the newest date, but may be sorted by other introduced model information. Further, as the introduced model information, other game information such as gaming machine information such as an average sales amount per player may be adopted by a similar calculation method. In this case, it is desirable that the item name such as “the number of games” can be selected to switch to another item.

  Here, the introductory model information is game information about the introductory model in the introductory period. When the introductory period is specified, the introductory model information for each player managed on a business day basis like the per-player gaming history in FIG. It is game information specified from the game information on the business day belonging to the introduction period from the game information. In the case of the game experience number, the actual number / unit, and the number of games shown in FIG. 6, it is sufficient to specify the actual number, the total number of people, and the number of games (number of visits). The number of players that can identify the fact that the game has been performed is identified and counted from FIG. 5, and if the total number of players, the number of players that can identify the fact that the corresponding introduced model has been played every business day in the introduction period is specified in total. If it is the number of times, it can be specified by specifying the number of days that the player has played the introduced model corresponding to the player in the corresponding period. Then, by specifying these for each installed model, the installed model information on the left side of FIG. 6 is specified.

  Next, the management device 3 determines whether the selection button 27a has been pressed (S6) or whether the second display button 29 has been pressed (S11). When the selection button 27a corresponding to the installed model that the administrator wants to pay attention to is depressed (S6: YES), the selected flag is set to 1 after confirming that the selected flag is 0 (S7: YES). (S8) The selected introduced model is set as the selected model (S9). A plurality of selected models can be selected on the condition that the introduction date is common, and when displaying a model, the model that has been removed at the present time is identified and displayed in gray (indicated by hatching in FIG. 6). Here, a plurality of introduced models (selected models) selected by the selection button 27a can be selected, but only the introduced models having the same installation date as the first selected installed model can be additionally selected. Further, the selected model is identified and displayed (indicated by a bold line in FIG. 6) as shown in the selection display example. FIG. 6 shows that model C is selected and displayed.

  When the second selection button 29 is pressed after “model” (other “type” can be selected) is selected by the category selection unit 28 by the administrator (S11: YES), the selected flag is 1. After confirming this (S12: YES), the selection flag is set to 0 (S13). Next, after extracting the selected model player who is the player who played the selected model in the introduction period as the introduction player (S14), a predetermined period (7 days) from the introduction date of the selected model that is the selected introduction model An original period that is a retroactive period is specified (S15). The former period is a period retroactive to the reference retroactive period (7 days) set in advance starting from the introduction date of the corresponding installed model, and does not include the introduction date. June 11 to June 17 is the original period. Then, the introduced players are distributed according to the models played in the original period. That is, the game information of the player who played the selected model during the introduction period, and the game machine information (out) in the original period is extracted and the out for each player is totaled by model (S16). The highest model (first model) is specified as the movement source model of the player (S17). The number of players specified as the transfer source model is tabulated for each model (S18), and the numerical value is specified as the number of transfer players for each model (S19). It should be noted that the number of players whose move source models are not specified (played during the original period) is also separately counted and specified as the number of (non) mobile players who have not visited the store during the period. After identifying the number of mobile players in this way, the mobile player ratio, which is the ratio of the number of mobile players to the total number (actual number of introduced models), is specified, and the mobile player is used as the mobile source information. Display in a numerical ranking format. In addition, the total number of players whose move source models are specified is “store visit during period”, and the number of mobile players and the transfer source ratio are similarly specified and displayed in the store visit column 31 during period. As the gaming machine information for specifying the movement source model, any gaming machine information such as operating time, number of jackpots, or holding balls other than out may be used, and the gaming machine information is acceptable. A range may be set, and if there is no model belonging to the allowable range, it may be specified as “no store visit during period”. Furthermore, when specifying the source model, an allowable range is set for the number of mobile players, and models that do not belong to the allowable range may be grouped as "other models" to specify the source information. good. Similarly, an allowable range may be set for the number of movement source models, and when the number of movement source models that deviate from the allowable range is specified, lower models may be grouped as “other models” or the like.

  Next, when there is an alternative model that can be identified as the removed model from FIG. 2 among the movement source models (S20: YES), the management apparatus 3 sets the model to be the alternative model as the removed model (S21). As shown, the source information is displayed (S22). In this case, among the introduced players, a player who cannot identify the model played in the original period is identified as a non-moving player, so that the source model is identified as “no store during the period” and all introduced games The number of mobile players is specified as the movement source information in the order of the number of mobile players after the number of mobile players is specified for the player. That is, information indicating the type such as “4P” and the name of the movement source model are displayed in the upper part of the movement source model column 30b, and the number and type in the original period are displayed in the lower part. Then, the number of fans (number of moving players) is displayed in the number of people column, the moving source ratio is displayed in the rate column, and the number of moving players is also displayed in a graph. In this case, the removed model is identified and displayed by outputting an “alternative” mark in association with it as shown in FIG. The same applies to the introduced model information, but the models that have been removed at the time of output are identified and displayed by displaying the model name in gray.

  Based on whether or not the number of mobile players in the introduction period of the introduced model exceeds the reference number (3 times) of the number of mobile players as the source information, specify whether the player is a repeat customer or a floating customer, and only repeat customers The source information may be specified and output for the extracted number of mobile players (number of repeats) or the number of mobile players (only the number of floating customers) from which only floating customers are extracted. In this case, it is desirable to be able to switch by selecting an item name.

The category selection unit 28 can select “type” in addition to “model”. However, when the type is selected, the source information is not specified in units of models by pressing the second display button 29 but in units of types. Identify. In addition to the “movement source analysis”, the form selection unit 22 can select “movement destination analysis”. However, when the movement destination analysis is selected, the second display button 29 is pressed to replace the original period after the introduction period. Is a period before the preset post-reference elapsed period (7 days) elapses (for example, if the introduction period is from June 18 to June 24, the previous period is from June 25 to July 1). In the same way as specifying the source information for the previous period, the destination information for the previous period is specified, and the player who played the selected model plays what model and type in the previous period. In other words, a destination analysis form indicating what model has been played, that is, what type of game has come to be played is output. In this case, when the introduction model is specified as the movement destination model in the movement destination model information, an identification display (for example, a stationary mark such as a substitute mark) for identifying the introduction model is performed.
The number of repeaters or the number of floating customers may be adopted for the destination information. Further, the number of repeaters and the number of floating customers may be specified depending on whether the number of games of the source model or destination model exceeds the reference value instead of the introduced model.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
When the game machine 1 is introduced because the player who plays the new machine outputs the move source analysis form 19 indicating which model was played before the replacement of the new machine, or the new player. Introducing a player who was playing a model that was removed based on the game information related to the introduced player distributed according to the source model, whether it was successful in attracting new players based on game information related to non-moving players It is possible to provide output information that can grasp a tendency such as whether the player can remain as a player of the gaming machine 1 or whether the player who has played a model that has not been removed has just been moved.

Since the move source model is specified by the game information in the original period for each player, and the number of players set as the move source model for each model is set as the move source information, the move source model is specified for each introduced player, Since the number of introduced players distributed according to the model of the movement source model is specified as the movement source information, the number of movement players can be grasped by the actual number of persons instead of the number of persons described.
Multiple models can be selected on the condition that the introduction dates are the same, so when introducing a new machine, there are many cases where multiple models are introduced at once. You will be able to grasp.
Instead of introducing as model information, an alternative model that was removed was set, and the alternative model was output to be identifiable as the source information, so instead of the selected model, that is, the installed model, among the source models The source information can be output while making it easy to grasp the removed model.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
As the selection operation for selecting the selected model, the selection operation for selecting the candidate by the reference date and selecting by the selection button 27a is exemplified. However, even if the selection is made without extracting the candidate, the introduction date is designated, etc. The selected model can be specified, and the mode of the selection operation may be any mode.
Although the introduction date itself is set as the introduction date information, the installation date or the like may be set as the introduction date information as long as it corresponds to the introduction date.
Although 7 days, which is a common period as the standard elapsed period and standard retroactive period when specifying the introduction period and former period, etc., is exemplified, it is not necessary to have a common value, and each may be an arbitrary value separately well. If it is set in advance (before the first display button 26 is pressed), it may be selected and set before the first display button 26 is pressed, for example, like the date selection unit 21. Of course, they may be shared.

In order to identify the number of mobile players by the actual number of players, the top model in the original period machine information was specified as the source model and the introduced players were distributed, but if the total number of players was specified, For example, a model that has been played at least once may be specified as a source model, or all models that have corresponding game information such as “out” satisfying a reference value may be specified as a source model. It is also applicable to the number of players and the number of experienced games, and a configuration that can be switched as appropriate when a form is output is desirable.
As an example of the imaging condition of the player, it is exemplified that the player can be determined from the indeterminate state. For example, a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) has passed without determining whether or not the determination is possible. It is good as a condition. Also in this case, if it is determined whether the player is continuing the game by comparing the captured image with the stored image, and it is determined that the player is a new player, it is determined that the customer is switched. good. As shown in the embodiment, any identification information may be adopted as long as it is information for identifying a player, such as specifying a player with a card ID as player identification information. In this regard, the model information may be any identification information as long as the model can be identified, such as a simple ID such as a model ID, regardless of the model name.

The settings shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and the like can be set arbitrarily by the game hall administrator, or set in advance by the manufacturer of the management apparatus 3, or the setting information can be downloaded from an external (eg, chain store headquarters) management server. May be set.
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. In addition, the game signal output from the gaming machine side includes a signal that can specify that the gaming device 2 is receiving a recording medium that can specify the ball information and the like.
As the target gaming machine, 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 also be adopted. Note that a game medium is expressed as a game value as necessary in consideration of so-called enclosing type and credit type.
Part of the processing performed by the management device 3 may be performed by the relay device 4 or the gaming device 2 or the like. Moreover, you may combine how the illustrated structure including a modification is combined.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 3 is a management device (setting means, player information management means, selected model specifying means, introduction player specifying means, former period specifying means, player distribution means, non-moving player specifying means , Source information specifying means, output means), 15 is a face authentication camera (player specifying means).
