As the communication line, a known communication line can be used.
The island computer 40 receives various game signals transmitted from one or more computer computers 30 via a communication line, accumulates or aggregates them as appropriate, and other devices on the network (game room management device 50, prize exchange) Device 60, member management device 70). For example, a game signal output from the gaming machine 10 and a sales signal output from the game medium lending machine 20 are input to the game hall management device 50 described later via the island computer 40.

  Usually, a plurality of gaming machines 10, gaming medium lending machines 20, and computer bases 30 are arranged to form one gaming machine island, and each gaming machine island is provided with an island computer 40. A plurality of gaming machine islands are arranged in the amusement hall, and each gaming island is, for example, divided so that a rental fee per one game medium (hereinafter referred to as a rental rate) is different, and a counting device (not shown) is matched to this division. Is provided.

The game hall management device 50 is an information processing device that operates under program control, and is usually installed in a place where a game hall manager can operate, for example, in a management room at the back of a counter. The game hall management device 50 stores, manages, and analyzes game information related to all the gaming machines 10 provided in the game hall. In addition to the game information, sales management information necessary for the game hall is also stored. to manage.
And the game hall management device 50, for example, various game information calculated based on various game signals transmitted from each island computer 40 via a communication line (the number of out balls, the number of safe balls, the number of starts, the number of jackpots, The number of sales etc.) is counted and managed for each gaming machine 10.

In addition, the game hall management device 50 manages game history information in which game information is associated with information related to a player's win / loss for each gaming machine 10. That is, which gaming machine 10 manages how many players have won or lost. Detailed description of the game history information will be described later.
Then, from this game history information, the winning / losing number counting unit 554, which will be described later, can classify each gaming machine 10 or the number of gaming machines 10 according to the number of players who won the game and the number of players who lost the game. For each group (for example, for each gaming machine model, for each gaming machine type).
In the game hall management device 50, an abnormality determination unit 555, which will be described later, sets and manages a threshold value serving as a reference value for comparison with the number of winners by an employee of the game hall.
A specific configuration of the game hall management device 50 will be described later.

  The prize exchange device 60 is an information processing apparatus that is installed at a prize exchange counter or the like of a game hall and performs a prize exchange process between an acquired game medium and a prize. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the gift exchange device 60 includes an IC coin reader 60a that reads various data from an IC coin presented by a player, and reads a coin ID that can identify the IC coin. The game hall management device 50 receives a count value for each coin ID stored and managed, a gaming machine number, etc., and performs a predetermined prize exchange process.

The member management device 70 stores and manages information related to members.
Member information is stored in the storage means of the member management apparatus 70. The member information includes “member number”, “password”, and “storage” as items.
“Membership number” is a number assigned to identify each member. This “member number” is assigned a different number for each member.
“Storm” refers to the number of game media that the member has earned in the game hall without being exchanged for prizes among the game media earned by jackpots or the like.

[Configuration of game hall management device]
Next, a detailed configuration of the game hall management device in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the game hall management device according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 2, the game hall management device 50 in the present embodiment includes a storage means 51, a display means 52, a communication means 53, an input means 54, and a control means 55.

The storage means 51 stores programs related to various functions provided in the game hall management device 50, predetermined information related to games, and the like. For example, game history information calculated based on various game signals from the gaming machine 10 is stored.
The game history information is information related to games played in each gaming machine 10, and a player ID that can identify a player who has played a game is associated with predetermined information that the player has played. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the game history information includes, for example, the time when the player finishes the game (replacement determination time), the player ID, and various information related to the game (number of sales balls, number of out balls) , Number of safe balls, number of jackpots, holding balls, winning / losing amount, moving table, etc.).
Further, in the game history information, information regarding the player before the replacement is calculated and stored when the replacement determination unit 552 described later determines the replacement of the player. As a result, even if the player is not a member, the player can be identified, and the game history of each player can be stored.

“Mochitama” is calculated by subtracting the number of out balls, which is the number of game media thrown into the gaming machine, from the number of safe balls, which is the number of game media to be paid out when winning a prize, by means of a later-described monetary ball calculation means 551. Calculated by adding the number of balls. In other words, the holding ball indicates the number of game media held by the player at the present time. In this embodiment, if the holding ball is negative, it is stored as “0”.
The “win / loss amount” is calculated by a win / loss determination unit 553, which will be described later, and can be obtained, for example, by a calculation of “mochitama” × “cash rate” − “investment amount”. That is, the winning / losing amount indicates how much the player has won in the target gaming machine 10. “Cash rate” indicates an exchange rate when game media is exchanged for prizes or cash, and is input and set by an employee of the game hall before or after business. In the present embodiment, the description will be made assuming that the cash rate is 3.0 yen per game medium.
“Move table” indicates a case where a player has moved with a game medium acquired by another game machine in the case of a game hall that allows a game by moving a table.
In this way, the game history information stores “which game machine and which player won how much” as a history.
The configuration of the game history information described above is not limited to the above and can be changed as appropriate.

The display means 52 is composed of a liquid crystal display, for example, and can display predetermined information on the screen. In a specific example, for example, the game history information shown in FIG. 3 described above is displayed in a table format. Furthermore, the display means 52 is a game chart for each time zone (see FIGS. 5 to 8) showing the ratio of the number of winners and losers for each time zone, and the number of winners and losers for each gaming machine or each gaming machine model. A game number history table (see FIG. 9 and FIG. 10) indicating the above is displayed. Details of the time-based game diagram and the game number history table will be described later.
The display means 52 is not limited to these displays, and can display various information such as important information related to game hall management.

The communication means 53 receives various game signals, sales signals, etc. transmitted from the gaming machine 10 or the like via the communication line, and sends them to the control means 55.
The input unit 54 is a unit for inputting predetermined data and instructions by employees of the game hall, and is composed of, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, an input pen, and the like. Enter function execution instructions and various information.
For example, by operating the input means 54, it is possible to set a threshold value that is a determination reference value used by an abnormality determination unit 555, which will be described later, and a cash rate input / setting.

The control means 55 is composed of a CPU or the like, and executes and controls various functions provided in the game hall management device 50 by reading and executing a program stored in the storage means 51. For example, when a signal indicating a display request is received from the input unit 54, information corresponding to this signal is extracted from the storage unit 51 and displayed on the display unit 52.
The control means 55 includes a possession calculation unit 551, a replacement determination unit 552, a win / loss determination unit 553, a winning / losing number counting unit 554, and an abnormality determination unit 555.

The possession ball calculation unit 551 calculates the number of game media currently held by the player through the game. Specifically, the number of game media on hand is calculated from the game history information stored in the storage means 51. For example, it can be obtained by a calculation consisting of “the number of safe balls−the number of out balls + the number of sales balls”, and the number of game media on hand is stored in the “game ball” of the game history information.
For example, the possession ball calculation unit 551 calculates the number of handheld game media at the timing when the replacement determination unit 552 described later determines that the player has been replaced.

The replacement determination unit 552 determines the replacement of the player in each gaming machine 10.
This is because, for example, when an out signal, which is a game signal indicating operation, is input and no out signal is input for a predetermined time, when a sales signal indicating the rental of game media is input, the player is replaced. judge. Thus, when the gaming machine 10 has not been operated for a predetermined time and when the gaming medium is lent out from the gaming medium lending machine 20, it is considered that the game has been started by a new player, and it is determined that the player has been replaced. . As a result, for example, even when the player leaves the gaming machine 10 to go to the toilet or the like, if there is no input of a sales signal, it is not determined to be a replacement, and therefore the player's replacement can be accurately determined. it can.
In addition, when there is a player's possession ball that is in the game, that is, when “retained ball”> 0 according to the above-described arithmetic expression, if the sales signal is input, the replacement determination unit 552 judge. As described above, when a game medium is lent out from the game medium lending machine 20 in spite of the presence of the game medium on hand, it is considered that the game has been started by a new player, and it is determined that the player has been replaced.
Note that the method for determining the replacement of the player is not limited to the above-described method. For example, the replacement of the player is determined based on the insertion / removal of the member card into the member card insertion slot of the game medium lending machine 20. It is also good to do.

  The winning / losing determining unit 553 determines the winning or losing of the player's game determined to be replaced by the replacement determining unit 552 based on the number of game media (held balls) and the investment amount (sales amount) invested in the game. To do. Specifically, the “money ball” indicating the number of game media possessed by the player is converted into an amount according to a predetermined exchange rate, and the “sales amount” is subtracted from this amount to obtain the “win / loss” Can be calculated, and the player's win / loss is determined from the value of the winning / losing amount. The winning / losing amount is stored in the game history information.

Here, the win / loss determination process performed by the win / loss determination unit 553 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, whether or not a player has been replaced is determined by the replacement determination unit 552 (step S10), and when it is determined that the player has been switched (step S10: YES), a win / loss determination process is executed.
Then, the win / loss determination unit 553 extracts the sales amount and the possessed ball calculated by the retained ball calculation unit 551 from the game history information stored in the storage unit 51 (steps S11 to S12). A winning / losing amount is calculated based on the sales amount and the possession amount (step S13). That is, it is calculated by the calculation of “mochitama” × “cash rate” − “investment amount”.
Next, the winning / losing determining means 553 determines whether or not the calculated winning / losing amount is a positive value (step S14). As a result of the determination, if the winning / losing amount is positive, it is considered that the player has won the game (step S15), and if the winning / losing amount is negative, the player is considered to have lost the game (step S16). ).

Based on the winning / losing result determined by the winning / losing determining means 553, the winning / losing number counting unit 554 counts the number of players who won the game and the number of players who lost the game for each gaming machine 10. .
In addition, the winning / losing number counting means 554 counts the number of winners and losers for each gaming machine 10 for each business hours of the game hall (for example, one hour unit).
As a result, the winning and losing number counting means 554 also determines the number of winners and losers for each operating hours of the game hall even for each predetermined group (game model, game type, rental rate, etc.) that can classify the gaming machines 10. Can be tabulated. The game model indicates an index for classifying the gaming machines 10 having different game contents, and the game type indicates a jackpot probability that the jackpot is generated, and the number of game media to be paid out by the jackpot (number of balls per jackpot) Is an index for classifying gaming machines 10 different from each other. For example, when the gaming machine 10 is a pachinko machine, the big hit probability (about 1/400) is low, the big hit probability is about a large number of balls, the big hit probability (about 1/100) is high, and the number of big hits is small. It can be classified into a digital type and a middle type that is intermediate between them (big hit probability is about 1/250). The lending rate indicates an index for classifying gaming machines 10 having different lending charges per game medium.
In this manner, the number of winners and losers is counted for each gaming machine 10 or for each predetermined group (game model, game type, etc.), and the number of winners and losers for each predetermined time zone in the game hall business hours is calculated. I can grasp it.
Details of the counting process performed by the winning / losing number counting unit 554 will be described later.

The abnormality determination unit 555 compares the number of winners or losers with a predetermined reference value, and determines an abnormality based on the comparison result.
Specifically, the abnormality determination unit 555 calculates, for example, the number of winners in one gaming machine 10 and the average number of winners, which is an average value of the number of winners in the plurality of gaming machines 10, counted by the winning / losing number counting unit 554. At the same time, the table gross margin in one gaming machine 10 is compared with the average platform gross margin that is an average value of the table gross margins of the plurality of gaming machines 10. As a result of the comparison, the abnormality determination unit 555 determines that there is an abnormality when the number of winners is greater than the average number of winners and the base gross profit is greater than the average base gross profit.
Moreover, the abnormality determination part 555 determines as abnormal when the number of winners is smaller than the average number of winners and the base gross profit is smaller than the average base gross profit as a result of the above comparison.
The table gross margin is a gross margin calculated during or after the game hall is operated, and is calculated by, for example, the following formula using a known calculation method.
Table gross profit = Sales amount per game machine-(Number of game media on hand x Cash exchange rate / 100)
As described above, the number of winners in each gaming machine 10 is compared with how many players have won in each gaming machine 10 against the gross profit of the gaming machine 10, and an abnormality determination for finding an illegal act is performed. Do.

Further, the abnormality determination unit 555 determines that the ratio of the number of payouts to the number of game media inserted (outlet rate) is a predetermined reference when the number of winners for each game model reaches a preset threshold value for a predetermined period of time. It is determined that the state is higher than a value (for example, 100% in the case of equivalent exchange). Further, when the number of losing players for each game model does not reach the threshold continuously for a predetermined period, it is determined that the payout rate is lower than a predetermined reference value.
Here, “the state in which the play rate is high” refers to a state in which the player has gained a lot of profits and the playground side has not gained any profit, and the adjustment to reduce the play rate is necessary. . In this case, it can be determined that adjustment such as closing the game nail or lowering the setting is necessary.
On the other hand, “low play rate” is a state where the player is not profiting and the amusement hall is making a lot of profit, and adjustment to increase the play rate is necessary. State. In this case, it can be determined that adjustment such as opening the game nail or raising the setting is necessary.

Specifically, for example, when a threshold is set by a game hall manager or the like such as “the number of winners is 5 or more for 3 consecutive days” or “the number of losers is 0 for 7 consecutive days”, the abnormality determination The unit 555 compares this threshold value with the number of winners or losers for each game model.
Then, when the former condition is met, the abnormality determination unit 555 determines that adjustment for closing the game nail is necessary, for example, because the operating state with many winning players continues. On the other hand, when the latter condition is met, it is determined that adjustment to open the game nail is necessary, for example, because the operating state with few winning players continues.
Thus, based on the number of winners and losers for each game model, it is possible to grasp the game models that need to be adjusted to influence the game win / loss.
Details of the determination process performed by the abnormality determination unit 555 will be described later.

[Operation of amusement hall management device]
Next, the operation of the game hall management device in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Game map by time)
First, with reference to FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, a display mode of the number of winners and losers will be described in detail using a time-based game diagram displayed on the game hall management device 50 (display means 52). FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a game chart classified by time zone for each gaming machine according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a game chart classified by time zone for each game model according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a game chart classified by time zone for each game type according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 8 shows an example of a game chart classified by time zone of the entire game hall according to the present embodiment. FIG.

When the game hall management device 50 (display means 52) in the present embodiment performs a predetermined operation for displaying the number of winners and losers for each time zone from the input means 54 by a manager of the game hall or the like, The game chart by time zone is displayed in a graph format.
The configuration of the game chart by time zone displays the game number display area R1 for displaying the number of winners and losers by time zone, and the ratio of the number of winners and losers to the gross margin of the gaming machine 10. It comprises a table gross profit / loss ratio display area R2.
In the game number display area R1 by time zone, the number of winners and losers totaled for each gaming machine 10 by the winning and losing number totaling unit 554 is the ratio of the length occupied in the bar graph for each time zone in the game hall business hours. Is displayed. The base gross profit / loss ratio display area R2 indicates the base profit of the gaming machine 10 by the length of the bar graph, and the ratio of the number of winning and losing people in the entire business hours of the gaming machine 10 is the ratio of the bar graph. Is displayed.

For example, from the display in the time-based game number display area R1 shown in FIG. 5, the number of winners is 0 and the number of losers is 2 in the time zone from 10:00 to 14:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00. It can be seen that the number of winners is 2 and the number of losers is 1 at 23:00, and the number of winners is 2 and the number of losers is 5 at all times. In this way, it is possible to grasp at a glance which time zone in the day is good in operation or the number of winners is large. The time zone can be divided into arbitrary time zones. For example, the time zone may be divided and displayed every hour.
Further, from the display in the base gross profit / loss ratio display area R2, for example, when the base gross profit of the gaming machine 10 is 2000 yen, among the bar graphs showing the base gross profit of 2000 yen, the number of winners in all business hours It can be seen that the length or area in the vertical direction in the bar graph is divided by the ratio (2: 5) of (2 people) and the losing number (5 people). As a result, when the ratio of the number of winners or losers to the gross margin is outside the predetermined range, it can be recognized that the operating state is not appropriate. Thus, it is possible to grasp at a glance the ratio of the number of winners and losers to the gross profit.

Further, the game chart classified by time zone for each game model shown in FIG. 6, the game chart classified by time zone for each game type shown in FIG. 7, and the game chart classified by time zone of the entire game hall shown in FIG. 8 are shown in FIG. It is the same as the structure of the game chart according to the time zone shown for each game machine, and these are the number of winners and losers totaled for each game machine 10, and further for each group (for each game model, for each game type, for the entire game hall) ) Shows the aggregated results.
In addition, as the gross profit shown in the base gross profit / competition ratio display area R2, FIG. 6 shows the average base gross profit for each game model, and FIG. 7 shows the average base gross profit for each game type. FIG. 8 shows the average platform gross margin of the entire game hall.
Thus, even for each group into which the gaming machines 10 can be classified, it is possible to grasp the number of winners and losers for each time period in the game hall business hours, and the ratio of winners and losers to gross profit.

  In the above-described game chart for each time zone, the game number display area R1 and the base profit / loss ratio display area R2 indicate the number of winners and losers by using a bar graph, but the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, other figures may be used as long as the number of winners and losers can be represented in a graphic form. For example, in the table gross profit / loss ratio display area R2, by using a pie chart, the table gross profit is indicated by the size of the pie chart, and the ratio of the number of winners and losers in all business hours of the gaming machine 10 is shown. The area ratio in the pie chart may be indicated.

(Game history table)
Next, with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the display mode of the number of winners and losers will be described in detail using a game history table displayed on the game hall management device 50 (display means 52). FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the game history table for each gaming machine according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the game history table for each game model according to the present embodiment. (A) is a figure which shows the whole game number history table, (b) is a figure which shows a part of game number history table.
In the following description of the present embodiment, it is assumed that the player replacement status is uniform in all the gaming machines 10, and as a result, the operating states of the gaming machines 10 are substantially equal.

FIG. 9 shows the number of winners and losers by day for each gaming machine 10 and is displayed for each game model.
Specifically, the number of winners and losers for each gaming machine 10 is displayed as “number of winners / number of losers”. In addition, the screen which displays these can be selected, for example by a touch-panel type, and the daily information (for example, sales amount, gross profit, etc.) of each gaming machine 10 is displayed by selecting each display location. It has come to be.
In addition, a total value for each gaming machine 10 is displayed at the bottom of the table. For example, “average number of players won by unit”, “total number of people won by unit”, “sales amount by unit”, “unit gross profit” Etc. are displayed. On the left side of the table, the total number of winners by day is displayed. Below that, the total value for each game model is displayed. For example, “total number of winners”, “average number of winners”, “average sales amount”, “average platform gross profit”, etc. are displayed. Yes.
For example, to explain using the history of the gaming machines 10 in the 107th series, the total number of players won by unit is displayed as “8” in the April business period, so there were 8 players in total. I understand that. The average number of winners by table indicating the average value of the number of winners per day is “0.27”. In addition, it can be seen that the sales amount by vehicle is “40000 yen” and the gross profit is “7000 yen”.

FIG. 10 shows the number of winners and losers by day for each game model, and is displayed for each game type.
Similarly to FIG. 9 described above, the number of wins by model and the number of losers by model for each game model are displayed as “number of winners / losers”.
In the lower part of the table, a total value for each game model is displayed. For example, “average number of people by type”, “total number of people by type”, and the like are displayed. On the left side of the table, the total number of winners by day is displayed. Below that, a total value for each game type is displayed, for example, “total number of winners”.
In this way, it is possible to grasp at a glance the history of the number of winners and losers for each gaming machine 10 or each gaming machine type.

(Abnormality judgment processing)
Next, the abnormality determination process performed by the abnormality determination unit 555 will be specifically described using a game history table.
The abnormality determination unit 555 compares the number of winners for each gaming machine 10 (total number of winners by unit) with the average value (average number of winners) of the plurality of gaming machines 10 and sets the number of players for each gaming machine 10. The gross margin is compared with the average value of the platform gross margin of the plurality of gaming machines 10 (average platform gross margin).
As a result of the comparison, it is determined that there is an abnormality when the “total number of players by stand” is larger than the “average number of winners” and the “table gross profit” is larger than the “average table gross profit”. Specifically, with reference to FIG. 9, in the gaming machine 10 in the 107th series, the total number of players (8) by number is greater than the average number of players (5.7) and the gross profit (7000) Yen) is larger than the average platform gross profit (5000 yen), and thus determined to be abnormal.
This may be because fraudulents perform special acts by attaching fraud roms etc. to the main board, and gain profits illegally by winning several times little by little.

In addition, the abnormality determination unit 555 determines that the result of the same comparison as described above is that the “total number of players by table” is less than the “average number of players” and the “table gross profit” is smaller than the “average table gross profit”. Judge as abnormal. More specifically, with reference to FIG. 9, in the 109th gaming machine 10, the total number of players (2) by table is less than the average number of players (5.7) and the gross profit (4000) (Yen) is smaller than average gross profit (5000 yen), so it is determined as abnormal.
This may be because fraudulents perform special acts by attaching fraud roms to the main board, and gain profits by winning a lot of money at once.

In the game number history table, an item determined to be abnormal by the abnormality determination unit 555 can be alerted as requiring attention by, for example, highlighting such as a change in background color or a shaded display. The field side can grasp the abnormality at a glance.
In this way, it is possible to compare how many players have won against the gross profit in each gaming machine 10 and discover an illegal act.

Note that the method for determining an abnormality is not limited to the above-described method, and any method may be used as long as an illegal act can be found. For example, the number of losers for each gaming machine 10 is compared with the average value of the number of losers for a plurality of gaming machines 10, and the base gross profit for each gaming machine 10 and the average base gross profit of a plurality of gaming machines 10 are calculated. Compare.
As a result of the comparison, when the number of losing persons for each gaming machine 10 is less than the average value of the losing persons, and the base gross profit is larger than the average base gross profit, it is determined that the abnormality. Similar to the above-described determination based on the number of winners, it is possible to discover an act that has gained fraud by winning little by little with a small amount of money.
Further, as a result of the comparison, when the number of losing persons for each gaming machine 10 is larger than the average value of the losing persons, and the table gross profit is smaller than the average table gross profit, it is determined that there is an abnormality. Similar to the determination based on the number of winners described above, it is possible to discover an act that gains an illegal profit by winning a large amount of money at a time.

In addition, the abnormality determination unit 555 performs an adjustment to reduce the winning rate for reducing the number of winners when the number of winners for each game model (number of winners by model) reaches a preset threshold value continuously for a predetermined period. When it is determined that it is necessary and the number of losers for each game model (number of losers by model) does not reach the threshold continuously for a predetermined period, it is necessary to adjust to increase the number of balls to increase the number of winners judge.
Specifically, referring to FIG. 10, the thresholds are set in advance by the game hall manager or the like as “the number of winners is 5 or more for 3 consecutive days” and “the number of losers is 0 for 7 consecutive days”. Shall. Then, as shown in FIG. 10B, in the case of the model name C at the time of closing on April 7, the business day in which the number of model-based winners is “5” is “3 days” (April 5 ~ 7 days) Since it is continuous, the abnormality determination unit 555 determines that adjustment to lower the payout rate is necessary to reduce the number of winners.
This is because the day with a large number of winners in one game model continues to be biased, so if you want to balance the days when the number of winners comes out and the days when they do not, the amusement hall will make the target model (model name C) It can be determined that adjustments such as closing the game nails are necessary.

Further, when the same threshold value as described above is set, the abnormality determination unit 555 determines the model type in the case of the model name I and the model name J when the store is closed on April 7, as shown in FIG. Since the business days in which the number of losers is “0” continues for “7 days” (April 1 to 7), the abnormality determination unit 555 adjusts to increase the winning rate to increase the number of winners. Is determined to be necessary.
This is because the days with a small number of players in one game model continue to be biased, so if you want to balance, the game hall side opens the game nails of the target model (model name I and model name J), etc. It can be determined that the adjustment is necessary.
Thus, the number of winners and losers is important information for adjusting the opening and closing of the game nails that influence the winning or losing of the game. And, by adjusting the nails, you can create a day when the number of winners is high and a day when it is not high. It can be used for a long time, and the gross profit can be taken.

As described above, according to the gaming hall management device of the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not a player who has been determined to be replaced has won or lost in the game, and the number of winners and losers is determined based on the result of this win or loss. Totals every time and displays the result. As a result, the number of winning and losing players for each gaming machine 10 can be ascertained, and the number of winning or losing players can be used for game plan business planning such as adjustment of game nails or replacement of models. Can do.
Furthermore, an illegal act can be found by comparing how many players have won against what gross profit based on the number of winners and losers and the platform gross profit of the gaming machine 10.

  For example, in the technique described in Patent Document 1 described above, it is possible to grasp the winning and losing of each player, but it is not possible to grasp the winning and losing of each player for each gaming machine. In this way, when it is impossible to grasp the winning or losing of each player for each gaming machine, for example, when the profit amount (gross profit) obtained by one gaming machine is 50,000 yen, one player is 50,000 I couldn't figure out if I lost the yen or if the first of the two players won 10,000 yen and the second lost 60,000 yen. In this way, since it is not possible to know how many players won or lost, it is not possible to know how many players won in each game machine, so for example, in the case of a pachinko machine, it is only necessary to open the game nail or close the game nail It was difficult to judge.

In addition, since the number of winners and losers for each gaming machine cannot be ascertained, it is difficult to find out that an illegal ROM that can illegally steal gaming media is installed by performing a special action. This is because it is difficult to recognize the abnormal gaming behavior by a specific player because it is difficult to know how many players won or lost against the sales (gross profit) of each gaming machine. It was difficult to discover the act.
According to the gaming hall management device according to the present embodiment, such a problem of the conventional technique can be solved, and when it is determined that the player is replaced, the player's winning / losing is determined, and the gaming machine It is possible to provide a game hall management device that counts the number of winning and losing players every time.
As a result, the number of winning and losing players for each gaming machine can be ascertained, and the number of winning and losing players can be used for game plan sales planning such as adjusting game nails and replacing models. There are effects such as being able to.

The preferred embodiment of the game hall management apparatus of the present invention has been described above. However, the game hall management apparatus according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. It goes without saying that it is possible.
For example, in the case where the game hall permits the game by moving the table, if there is no player's possession of the game (“mochitama” <0 in the above formula), and no sales signal is input, When a predetermined number of signals are input, it is determined that the player has moved from another gaming machine 10 with a game medium, and it is determined that the player has changed. At this time, the player brings the game media to the destination game machine 10 by moving the table, so that even if there is a game media on hand, the number of game media on hand (held balls) is initialized and calculated again. I do. This means that, in order to calculate the player's win / loss for each gaming machine 10, the base is moved and the standard is set when moving to a different gaming machine 10.
When it is determined that the player is replaced by moving the platform, the number of balls is calculated by a calculation consisting of “the number of safe balls−the number of out balls + the number of sales balls (= the number of out balls)”. Here, the “number of sales balls (= out balls)” in the calculation formula is considered to be equivalent to investment because the game balls actually owned are used for the ball balls at the destination game machine 10. Because you can. For this reason, “the number of balls out” is regarded as “the number of balls sold”, and “mochitama” is calculated from the above formula. Specifically, in the example of FIG. 3, the holding ball is calculated as 12000 balls from “the number of safe balls (12,000 balls) −the number of out balls (8000 balls) + the number of sold balls (= out balls)” (8000 balls). Is done.
The winning / losing amount is “+12000” from “Mochitama” × “Cash rate (3 yen / ball)” − “Sales amount”, from 12,000 balls × 3 yen / ball−8000 balls × 3 yen / ball. And it can be determined that the player is a winning player.
As a result, the number of players who win and lose for each gaming machine 10 can be ascertained even at a game arcade that permits table movement.
Also, the game history information shown in FIG. 3 is displayed by the display means 52, so that a predetermined mark (for example, a circle) is given to the player determined to be replaced by moving the table. . As a result, the game hall side can easily grasp whether or not the game is based on table movement.

In the above-described embodiment, the abnormality is determined based on the number of winners or losers. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the determination is performed based on the win rate indicating the percentage of winners or the loss rate indicating the ratio of losers. May be.
Specifically, the ratio of the number of winners with respect to the entire player of one gaming machine 10 is compared with the ratio of the number of winners with respect to the entire player for each game model, and an abnormality in one gaming machine 10 is determined. Similarly, the ratio of the losing number in the entire player of the gaming machine 10 and the ratio of the losing number in the entire player for each gaming machine may be compared to determine abnormality in one gaming machine 10.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the number of winners for each gaming machine 10 (total number of winners by table) is compared with the average number of winners for each gaming machine type (average number of winners), but this is not limitative. Rather, the average value of the number of winners per day for each gaming machine 10 (average number of winners per vehicle) and the average value of the number of winners per day for each gaming machine (average daily winners) are compared. May be.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the item determined to be abnormal is evoked by highlighting a change in background color or shading display, but is not limited to this, for example, a pop-up display or It may also be performed by sound notification or the like. Furthermore, the display contents may be output via an output device (such as a printer).

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the sales amount is the investment by cash. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be a withdrawal from the storage ball.
