  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration of the game information display system 1. A lending device 3 and an information display device 4 (corresponding to game specifying means, game number counting means, final game specifying means, and display mode changing means) are installed in the game hall corresponding to the gaming machine 2 (slot machine). Yes. Two gaming machines 2, two rental devices 3 and two information display devices 4 are connected to one relay device 5, and the relay device 5 is connected to a management device 7 (display mode changing table) via a LAN 6. (Equivalent to identification means, setting value input means, setting update base identification means, display change input means, display control means).

  The management device 7 is installed in, for example, a management room in a game hall, and is configured by combining a main device 8, a mouse 9 and a keyboard 10 operated by a game hall manager, a monitor 11, a printer (not shown), and the like. Has been. Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred gaming machines 2 are managed by the management device 7. In the present embodiment, since the gaming machine 2 is a slot machine as described above, the gaming value (game medium) is a medal. If the gaming machine is a pachinko machine, the gaming value is a pachinko ball.

  The gaming machine 2 includes a display window 12 through which a player can visually recognize a reel, an effective line display unit 13 indicating an activated pay line, a display panel 14, a credit button 15 for inserting a credit medal, and a credit medal settlement. A settlement button 16 to perform, a medal slot 17 for inserting medals, a start lever 18, a left stop button 19, a middle stop button 20, a right stop button 21, a tray 22 and the like are provided. The gaming machine 2 performs the following operations.

  (1) When the start lever 18 is operated with a medal inserted and a bet, the game is executed. That is, each reel is started (rotated), one random number is extracted from the generated random numbers, an internal lottery is executed, and if there is an internal winning combination, a flag corresponding to the internal winning combination is established. . When each of the stop buttons 19 to 21 is operated in this state, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped. Subsequently, based on a stop table (not shown) for determining the stop position of each reel according to the flag of the internal winning combination, stop control including so-called pull-in control (slip control) (the type of the internal winning combination flag for each reel) Control to stop display with a winning symbol or a lost symbol according to the game). The pull-in control is a control capable of pulling a symbol in a predetermined pull-in range (up to four symbols at the maximum) from the time point when the operation of each of the stop buttons 19 to 21 is detected and stopping it. When the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination flag does not exist within the drawing range, the symbol cannot be drawn on the winning line and stopped, so that no winning occurs and so-called losing is made.

  (2) When a bonus combination (BB combination, RB combination) wins in the normal state, the corresponding bonus state (one of the special states that is advantageous to the player over the normal state) is transferred to the bonus state. When a bonus ending condition for ending (for example, 330 safes) is established, the bonus is ended.

  (3) When the ART combination wins in the normal state, the state shifts to the ART state (ART) (one of the special states that is a game state advantageous to the player over the normal state). ART is a state in which an RT state in which the internal winning rate of a specific combination such as a replay combination is high and an AT state in which an operation notification for winning an internal winning combination is combined, and the ART end to end the ART When a condition (for example, 50 games have passed) is established, ART is terminated. In addition, a continuous lottery is performed at the end, and if it wins, 50 games are newly added.

  (4) After a bonus or ART is completed, if a predetermined number of games (for example, 1200 times) is executed without generating the bonus or ART, the ART is likely to be generated by shifting to the AT state or the like. A privilege (ceiling privilege) is given. The ceiling game for specifying the ceiling is initialized (reset) upon completion of the bonus and ART, and is added upon execution of the game. In addition, the ceiling game is not initialized when the power of the gaming machine 2 is reset (switching from ON to OFF to ON), but the winning rate (the ratio of the winning number to the number of games, the internal winning rate or the winning by AT) Rate, etc.) and the game play rate (equivalent to the grant rate, the ratio of out to the safe described later) When the setting value (game machine setting value) for adjusting at least one expected value is changed or reset Is initialized. The set values are, for example, six levels “1” to “6”. The larger the value, the more advantageous the setting for the player, and the smaller the value, the unfavorable setting for the player.

  The lending device 3 includes a state display lamp 23 indicating an operating state, a money insertion slot 24 for a player to insert money, and a player having inserted money into the money insertion slot 24 so that a medal can be received in the tray 22 of the gaming machine 2. A discharge nozzle 25 and the like for discharging to the outside. The lending device 3 inputs / outputs various signals to / from the control unit constituted by a microcomputer having a CPU, ROM, RAM, and I / O, the gaming machine 2, the information display device 4, and the management device 7. It has an output part.

The gaming machine 2 and the lending device 3 output game signals shown below.
“Out signal”: a signal that is output from the gaming machine 2 and is a use signal that can specify the number of game values consumed (number of use, out) consumed by the game. In response to the game start operation, the number of medals (3) in the bet state is output in pulses, so the number of out signals × 1 is specified as out (consumption value). The corresponding amount is also output when the replay winning combination is won. It is a game signal for specifying execution of a game.

  “Safe signal”: a signal that is output from the gaming machine 2 and is a grant signal that can specify the number of game values (given number, safe) that has been given to the player (acquired by the player). Since one pulse is output every time a medal is paid out, the number of safe signals × 1 is specified as safe (winning award value). Even when a replay winning combination is won, the amount of medals consumed in the game is output.

  “BB signal”: a signal output from the gaming machine 2 and a signal capable of specifying a BB (big bonus) state. Since the level is output during the BB state, the input of the BB signal is specified as being in the BB state. This is one of special state signals for specifying a special state.

  “RB signal”: a signal output from the gaming machine 2 and a signal that can specify an RB (regular bonus) state. Since the level is output during the RB state, the RB signal being input is identified as being in the RB state. This is one of special state signals for specifying a special state.

“ART signal”: a signal output from the gaming machine 2 and a status signal continuously output during ART. This is one of special state signals for specifying a special state.
“Sales signal”: This is a signal output from the lending device 3, and one pulse is output for every 5 medals (equivalent to 100 yen), so the number of sales signals × 100 is specified as the sales amount.

  The information display device 4 includes an information display unit 26 (corresponding to display means) for displaying various game information (number of occurrences of BB and RB, graph showing the transition of the difference, number of occurrences of ART, etc.), An operation unit 27 including a call button pressed by the player when calling a member, a switch button pressed by the player when switching the game information displayed by the information display unit 26, and an operation remote control possessed by an employee of the game hall It includes a light receiving unit 28 that receives a remote control signal transmitted from (not shown). The information display device 4 inputs / outputs various signals to / from the control unit constituted by a microcomputer having a CPU, ROM, RAM, and I / O, the gaming machine 2, the lending device 3, and the management device 7. It has an output part.

  The information display device 4 executes a control program stored in advance by the control unit, inputs a game signal (out signal, safe signal, etc.) from the gaming machine 2, or a player operates the operation unit 27, A variety of game information is displayed on the information display unit 26 by receiving a remote control signal from the operation remote controller by the light receiving unit 28 or the like. The information display device 4 performs the following operation.

  (1) The execution of the game is specified based on the out signal. In other words, the number of outs of the maximum bet (3) that is set separately is counted, the period between input of the out signal has passed a set time (for example, 30 seconds), or the safe signal is input after the out signal is input In such a case, the execution of the game is specified on the assumption that the game specifying condition is satisfied. You may identify execution of a game based on the game signal output for every game.

  (2) A period in which any one of the BB signal, the RB signal, and the ART signal is input is specified as a special state, and a period in which none is input is specified as a normal state. In addition, the game state shifts by detecting the lighting state of the lamp that changes the lighting state such as lighting when the game state shifts in the gaming machine 2 such as a winning rate or a payout rate in the unit period by a light sensor or the like. The game state may be specified by specifying that the game has been completed.

  The management device 7 is a control unit configured by a microcomputer having a CPU, ROM, RAM, and I / O, and an input / output unit that inputs and outputs various signals to and from the gaming machine 2, the lending device 3, and the information display device 4. Etc. The management device 7 executes a control program stored in advance by the control unit, and based on game signals (out signal, safe signal, etc.) input from the gaming machine 2 side, game information (out, safe, The number of differences (the number of difference medals), the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the number of ARTs, etc.) is counted, and sales information is calculated.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of game information displayed on the information display unit 26 by the information display device 4 when the gaming machine 2 is in a normal state. In the information display unit 26, the BB game occurrence number display unit 26a displays the occurrence number of BBs on the current day and one day ago, and the RB game occurrence number display unit 26b displays the occurrence number of RBs on the current day and one day ago, The transition graph display unit 26c identifies and displays a difference transition graph (for example, “Red” for the transition graph for the current day, “Yellow” for the transition graph for the previous day, “Green” for the transition graph for the second day, and so on). The number of occurrences of ART on the current day and the previous day is displayed on the ART occurrence count display portion 26d, and the highest number of occurrences of ART in the past highest ART occurrence count display portion 26e is displayed. The special state S display portion 26f displays a so-called jackpot start (hereinafter referred to as a jackpot S), which is the number of games initialized by the occurrence of a bonus or ART. The last day's last S, which is the jackpot S, is displayed at the time of closing of the day (displayed until the initialization condition of the jackpot S such as a jackpot is generated since opening). Further, a telop such as a message from the game hall is displayed on the telop display portion 26h. The jackpot S may not be initialized due to the occurrence of ART, but it is desirable to set initialization conditions that are initialized according to the conditions under which the ceiling game in the gaming machine 2 is initialized.

  Here, the last day last S displayed on the last day last S display part 26g will be described. Usually, even if the jackpot S on the day is updated (conventionally), the last S on the previous day is not updated (displayed in the first display mode). If the initialization condition for the jackpot S, such as a jackpot, is satisfied, the display is switched to the cumulative S indicating the number of games from the start of business that is not initialized even if the initialization condition for the jackpot S is satisfied. It is done.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the display mode of the last day's final S is set to a display mode different from FIG. 2 as shown in FIG. 3 in order to suggest the change or resetting (redoing) of the setting value in the gaming machine 2 (first display). 2). That is, when the setting value is changed or reset, for the gaming machine 2 in which the setting value is changed or reset, the display mode of the last day S is changed from the first display mode to the second display mode. Change to In the present embodiment, the following five display modes are exemplified as the second display mode.

  Specifically, FIG. 3A shows an example in which the last day's final S is initialized to “0”. In this case, “0” is displayed at the start of business, and even if the jackpot S is updated by the progress of the game, the last day S is maintained at “0” and is not updated. FIG. 3B shows an example in which the last day's final S is updated following the update of the jackpot S. In this case, “821” that is the actual last day's last S is displayed at the start of business, and the last day's last S is updated from “821” following the update of the jackpot S as the game progresses. FIG. 3C shows an example in which the previous day's final S display part 26g is omitted and the previous day's final S is not displayed by enlarging the special-state S display part 26f. FIG. 3D shows an example in which the cumulative S is displayed instead of the last S on the previous day. In this case, “0” is displayed at the start of business, and the cumulative S is updated following the update of the jackpot S as the game progresses. FIG. 3E shows an example in which the display color and font are changed while the actual last day S is displayed (in FIG. 3E, the change to italics is shown as an example) for identification display. In this case, an identification display such as blinking may be used. In this case, “821”, which is the actual last day's last S, is displayed at the start of business, and even if the jackpot S is updated as the game progresses, the previous day's final S remains “821” and is not updated. By detecting that the display form of the last day's last S is different from the usual, the player can grasp that the last day's last S should not be handled as usual, that is, the corresponding game It can be understood that the setting value has been changed or reset in the machine 2.

  Now, the manager of the game hall uses the management device 7 to set which of the serial numbers the S of the last day is changed. That is, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the management device 7 can display a display change input screen, and the game hall administrator inputs a display mode change on the display change input screen. The display change input screen will be described below.

In addition, on the gaming machine set value input screen, a set number input unit 32c for inputting a start set number and an end set number, a set value input unit 32d for inputting set values, a registration button 32e, a cancel button 32f, A previous page button 32g, a next page button 32h, and a return button 32i are formed, and a machine number panel 32j indicating the machine number of the gaming machine 2 is displayed.

  (2) A set value (set value before change) input up to the previous time is displayed on the stand number panel 32j. As shown in FIG. 5, the set number in which the display mode of the last day S is changed. Is displayed.

  (3) When inputting the set value, the target machine number is input to the machine number input unit 32c and the set value is input to the set value input unit 32d as in FIG. In this case as well, if the target machine numbers are not consecutive, only the start machine number is input, and if the target machine numbers are continuous, the start and end machine numbers are input. When the registration button 32e is pressed after entering the start number, end number, and setting value, the corresponding number (the number whose setting value has been changed or reset) is identified and displayed on the number panel 32j. .

(4) In the machine number panel 32j, the machine number to which the set value is input is identified and displayed, for example, in “blue” (in FIG. 7 , the identification display of “blue” is shown by cross hatching in an oblique direction), Further, it is displayed in the form of “set value before input → set value after input”. In this case, the set value before and after the input is displayed when the set value before and after the input is different (the set value has been changed) as in the case of the “303” number. When the set value before and after the input is the same (number is reset), the set value before and after the input is displayed. On the other hand, despite the display mode of the previous day final S as stand-numbered "305" has not been changed, numbered table setting value is input is displayed identified, for example, "Purple" (in FIG. 7, " “Purple” is indicated by cross hatching in the vertical and horizontal directions), and is similarly displayed in the form of “setting value before input → setting value after input”. All set values to be input are input by repeating the input in (3) above. If the cancel button 32f is pressed after inputting the machine number to the machine number input unit 32c, the set value input for the corresponding machine number is canceled (cancelled).

  (5) When the return button 32i is pressed, the display of the gaming machine setting value input screen (setting value input) is terminated, and another screen such as a main menu screen is displayed. In the case where there is no change in the set value or input of resetting for the turn number associated with “link” which is an identification display mode capable of specifying the last S or the ceiling S on the previous day, for example, ““ link ” The setting value input of the display stand is not input, but is it finished? ”To suppress the display of the gaming machine setting value input screen (a suppression process to suppress the screen end process associated with the end operation) is performed. In this respect, it is also effective to perform the suppression display in the display mode in which the last day S or the like including FIG. 3 (e) can be specified, but the suppression display may be performed in other display modes.

  FIG. 8 is an input screen combining the display change input screen shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 and the gaming machine setting value input screen shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. A value can be input on one screen.

  (1) The clear button 32k and the interlock button 32l corresponding to the clear button 31d and the interlock button 31e of the display change input screen illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 are displayed on the gaming machine setting value input screen illustrated in FIGS. When the clear machine key 32k or the interlock button 32l is pressed after inputting the set machine number to the machine number input part 32c and inputting the set value to the set value input part 32d, the corresponding machine number is formed. The setting value input and the display mode change input are performed at the same time (for example, the numbers from "302" to "304").

  (2) On the other hand, if the clear button 32k or the interlock button 32l is pressed only by inputting the target turn number to the turn number input section 32c and without inputting the set value to the set value input section 32d, the display mode is changed. Is input (for example, “360”, “361”, etc.). When the registration value 32e is pressed after the setting value and the machine number are input to the machine number input unit 32c, only the setting value is input (for example, the machine number "305"). If the cancel button 32f is pressed after inputting the machine number to the machine number input unit 32c, the display mode and setting value input for the corresponding machine number are canceled (cancelled).

  (3) Whether or not an input for changing the display mode has been performed is indicated by an identification display by coloring, as in FIG. Whether or not a set value has been input is indicated by an identification display that displays the set value before and after the input, as in FIG. If you want to change the display mode by pressing the interlock button 32l without inputting the set value, for example, “Do you enter“ interlock ”? ”Is suppressed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the display mode of the game information including the last day's final S can be changed from the normal first display mode to the second display mode different from the first display mode. It was. When the game hall manager changes the display mode for the gaming machine 2 for which the setting value is changed or reset, the player recognizes that the display mode is different from the normal display mode. Similarly, it cannot be handled, that is, it can be grasped that the setting value has been changed or reset. As a result, unnecessary troubles can be prevented when the ceiling is exceeded, and settings are made for players who have an occult philosophy that the player can benefit by changing or resetting the settings. It is possible to appeal the change or reset of the value implicitly.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
Although a plurality of changeable display modes are illustrated, only one changeable display mode may be used. In addition, after selecting any display mode in FIG. 4, the display mode selected in FIG. 5 or the like is displayed so as to be identifiable. Not limited to this, it is possible to identify and display only that the display mode has been changed without specifying the selected display mode.

  As the last day's last S, the jackpot S at a predetermined date update time (for example, when it is 4:00 am or acceptance of a date update operation) may be specified as the jackpot S at the time of closing, Since a trial hit or the like may be performed later, the latest jackpot S at the end of the date starting from the date update time, that is, the jackpot S at the end of the business is stored, and the jackpot S at the end of the business is the last day of the previous day. You may specify as S.

  It is assumed that the setting value shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is input after the display mode change shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is input. However, the display mode change may be input after the setting value is input. Therefore, even when the display mode change is input after the set value is input, the set value before and after the input may be displayed in an identifiable manner. That is, display control processing for performing identification display that can specify the setting update base on the display change input screen may be performed.

  If FIG. 3B is updated according to the specification of the game, not only the addition update but also the subtraction update may be used. In this case, in FIG. 3B, in addition to FIGS. 3A, 3C, and 3D, the previous day's final S is smaller than the normal display mode, or the previous day's final S is not displayed. It becomes an aspect. If the jackpot S and the last day's last S can be specified, it is not always necessary to display both, and it is not necessary to display the total value.

  In the management device 7, the case where the setting value is input by operating the management device 7 by the manager of the game hall is illustrated. However, a setting signal that can specify the setting value is provided in the gaming machine 2 or the headquarters of the chain store. Of course, the setting value may be input by inputting from an external server such as a server.

  As shown in FIG. 8, by providing the clear button 32k and the interlock button 32l, not only the display mode change input and the setting value input are performed simultaneously, but also the clear button 32k as shown in FIGS. Even in the configuration in which the interlock button 32l is not provided, the display mode change input and the setting value input may be performed simultaneously. In this case, a display mode corresponding to the set value may be set in advance. For example, the set value 5 corresponds to the display mode shown in FIG. 3B, while the set value 6 shown in FIG. When the mode is made to correspond or the set value is changed so as to be advantageous to the player, the display mode of FIG. 3B is made to correspond, while the set value is changed so as to be disadvantageous for the player. In some cases, the display mode shown in FIG. In this case, in order to change the display mode of the last day S without inputting the set value, it may be input on the display change input screen shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 separately.

  In a configuration in which the display mode of the last day S is changed only for gaming machines 2 whose setting values have been changed or reset, gaming machines 2 whose display mode has not been changed will not have their setting values changed. The display mode can also be changed for gaming machines 2 that have not been changed or reset, but for the gaming machines 2 that have not been changed or reset, the display mode cannot be changed, It may be displayed that the set value has not been changed or reset when the display mode is changed.

  The target gaming machine 2 can be a target even if it is a gaming machine 2 that does not generate a bonus (big hit) as long as it can generate a special state that is a gaming state that is more advantageous than the normal state for the player. Further, pachinko machines other than the slot machine may be targeted. In this case, the game value is a ball, and the game has the number of actuating items such as symbol fluctuations according to winning in a specific winning opening. In addition, a so-called encapsulated type or credit type that allows a game with a score that does not use a game medium may be targeted, and in consideration of these, the game value including the game medium and the score is expressed. Even if the gaming machine 2 has substantially no ceiling, some players may assume a ceiling game based on an occult idea, so a certain effect can be expected even if the present invention is applied. Can do.

  The special state is not limited to a gaming state in which the expected payout rate is higher than the normal state such as the exemplified bonus or ART, but may be any state as long as it is more advantageous for the player than the normal state. good. Also, the privilege by the ceiling may be any privilege as long as it is a privilege for the player, such as generating RT or notifying the set value. It should be noted that the initialization condition for the ceiling game may be any condition such as only when one of bonus and ART occurs.

  All illustrated numerical values, items, etc., such as the specifications and set values of the gaming machine 2, are examples, and any numerical values may be adopted. Of course, other game information may be specified by an optimum specifying method, whether directly or indirectly. Furthermore, part of the information processing performed by the information display device 4 may be performed by the relay device 5 or the management device 7.

  In the drawings, 1 is a game information display system, 2 is a gaming machine, 4 is an information display device (game specifying means, game number counting means, final game specifying means, display mode changing means), and 7 is a management device (display mode changing table). Identification means, setting value input means, setting update base identification means, display change input means, display control means), and 26 are information display units (display means).
