The information display device 41 of this example has a function of recording individual information that is personal game information. The information display device 41 records the individual information according to a predetermined operation, and presents the information ID (identification information) of the individual information to the player side.

The data server device 2 is capable of data communication with a plurality of in-place systems 3 via the public communication line 100, and manages game information of each game arcade. The data server device 2 can be accessed using a mobile terminal 5 such as a mobile phone possessed by the player. In particular, the data server device 2 of this example can transmit individual information, which is personal game information of the player who is the owner, to the mobile terminal 5 that has accessed.
Hereinafter, each apparatus etc. which comprise the system 1 for game centers of this example are demonstrated in detail.

  The gaming machine 40 of this example is a slot machine in which a symbol starts to fluctuate in response to an operation of a start lever, a game is started, and a winning is generated by a combination of symbols that are stopped and displayed in response to an operation of a stop button. As a winning combination, in addition to a small combination such as a five-piece combination and a replay combination, a bonus combination that triggers the occurrence of a bonus state is set. As the bonus combination, the BB combination that is the most advantageous trigger in the BB state with the largest number of payouts and the RB combination corresponding to the RB state are set.

Further, in the gaming machine 40 of the present example, an ART state is set in which an AT in which notification for assisting the winning of the internal winning combination is performed and an RT in which the winning probability of the replay combination is generated occur in a composite manner. The ART state is a gaming state advantageous to the player side in which the payout rate is higher than that in the normal state. This ART state occurs (shifts) when a predetermined ART combination wins in a normal state, and ends when the ART end condition (50 games have passed) is established. At the end, an ART continuous lottery is performed, and 50 games are newly added according to the winning.
In the gaming machine 40 of this example, the BB state, the RB state, and the ART state are special states.

  In the game of the gaming machine 40, the game can be started by inserting a predetermined number of medals, and a predetermined number of medals can be paid out according to the type of the winning combination. The difference obtained by subtracting the number of medals inserted by the player from the number of medals paid out according to the winning is the number of medals acquired by the player through the game.

The game signals output by the gaming machine 40 as the game progresses include at least the following game signals. The game signal is transmitted to the on-site network 300 via the repeater 45 and also transferred to the information display device 41.
(1) Safe signal (payout signal): A signal that is output by one pulse each time a medal is paid out. The number of safe signals (number of outputs) × 1 is safe (number of payout media). Even when a replay winning combination is won, the medals used in the game are output.
(2) Out signal (consumption signal): A signal in which, when a game is started, the bet state medals are consumed and the number of bet state medals (three) is pulsed in response to the start operation. The number of out signals (number of outputs) × 1 is out (number of consumed media, number of used media). Note that the corresponding amount is also output during replay.
(3) Bonus signal: A level signal output during the occurrence of a bonus state. There are a BB signal corresponding to the BB state and an RB signal corresponding to the RB state.
(4) ART signal: A level signal output during the generation of an ART condition.

  The stand terminal 42 is a stand-by-unit terminal provided with a lending function for lending medals used for games. The stand terminal 42 is installed in a space between the stands with other adjacent gaming machines 40 so as to individually correspond to each gaming machine 40. The stand terminal 42 pays out medals for lending using the money inserted into the money slot or the cash charged in the membership card as a consideration. The stand terminal 42 reads the card ID (player ID) from the member card inserted in the card slit and outputs it to the repeater 45. When the player operates the card return button, the membership card inserted in the card slit is returned. The terminal 42 outputs a sales signal once for every five medals lent (equivalent to 100 yen). The number of sales signal reception times x 100 yen is the sales amount.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the information display device 41 is a display device in which operation buttons 412 are arranged on both sides of a display screen 411 forming an information display unit, and a decorative lamp 415 is provided around the display screen 411. .

-Number of games: Number of games executed since the last bonus state ended. After the special state is finished, counting is started at zero start, and one game is added each time a game start is detected. In this example, the execution of the game is determined using the out signal. Specifically, the out count of the maximum number of BETs (3 cards) in one game, the time since the last out signal was received has elapsed for a set time (for example, 30 seconds), or the safe signal was received after the out signal was received In this case, it is determined that the game has been executed on the assumption that the game specifying condition is satisfied. Instead of this example, execution of the game may be determined based on a game signal output for each game.
The game start is detected when the out signal is received three times in succession.
BB count: The number of occurrences of the BB state. Each time the BB signal is switched from the non-reception state to the reception state, it is added once.
RB count: Number of occurrences of RB status. Each time the RB signal is switched from the non-reception state to the reception state, it is added once.
-ART count: The number of times an ART condition has occurred. Each time the RB signal is switched from the non-reception state to the reception state, it is added once.
-Outlet: The number of medals that a player has earned, which is the difference obtained by subtracting the number of medals inserted (consumed) from the number of medals granted. After the game starts, each time a safe signal is received, one is added, while every time an out signal is received, one is subtracted.
(2) Start specifying means: means for specifying a player's game start.
The start specifying means specifies the game start of the player when, for example, the player presses the pre-patch button 412A for 2 seconds. The start specifying means of this example includes a first start operation that is a long press operation in a state in which a card ID is captured via the terminal 42, and a second start operation that is a long press operation in a state in which no card ID is captured. It is possible to accept. Note that an operation for taking in a card ID such as an operation of inserting a card without performing a long press operation may be set as the first start operation.
(3) End specifying means A means for specifying the end of the game. The end specifying means specifies the end of the game of the player when, for example, the player presses the pre-patch button 412A for 2 seconds after the start of the game is specified.

(1) Server receiving means: means for receiving ID specifying information capable of specifying an information ID from the mobile terminal 5 that has accessed after specifying the ID information from the ID image displayed by the information display device 41;
When receiving the ID specifying information, the server receiving unit also receives the mobile ID that is the identification information of the transmission source mobile terminal 5. In addition, instead of this example, the ID specifying information may be an ID image or ID information itself, or information that can specify an ID image or ID information.

(2) Management server means A means for managing the individual information received from the game hall management device 30 in association with the information ID.
The management server means manages whether or not the individual period is continuing for each gaming machine ID. When the start information that can specify that the game start is specified is received for the gaming machine 40 in the individual period, the suppression process for suppressing the specification of the game start or the inquiry process for the information ID corresponding to the individual period is performed. . Further, when the management server means receives the start information together with the player ID from the game hall management device 30, the management server means manages the player ID in association with the individual information, and specifies the game specified by the start information. The game information of the player specified by the individual information associated with the player ID is transmitted to the game hall management device 30.

(3) Server individual information specifying means A portable information ID that is identification information specified by the ID specifying information received by the server receiving means, and the information ID associated with the individual information managed by the management server means, Means for identifying the individual information corresponding to the portable information ID from the individual information managed by the management server means.
The server individual information specifying means can also specify individual information corresponding to the ongoing individual period as individual information corresponding to the portable information ID. The server individual information specifying means, when receiving ID specifying information from two or more mobile terminals 5 for one individual information, corresponds to the information ID associated with the duration of the individual period according to the end of the game It is specified as an information ID corresponding to the individual information with priority over the attached information ID.

(4) Player information management means: means for managing player information such as mobile information ID and mobile ID.
The player information management means manages the mobile information ID specified by the ID specifying information in association with the mobile ID of the mobile terminal 5 that is the transmission source of the ID specifying information. Furthermore, the player information management means of this example manages a plurality of portable IDs in groups.

(5) Mission setting means Means for setting mission conditions for evaluating individual information.
When the mission condition is set, the mission setting means transmits condition information that can specify the mission condition to the game hall management device 30.

(6) Server output means A means for outputting the individual information specified by the server individual information specifying means as the individual information of the player carrying the portable terminal 5 that has transmitted the corresponding ID specifying information.
The server output means outputs a plurality of individual information specified in association with a plurality of portable information IDs managed in association with the same portable ID by the player information management means as game information of the same player.

  The server output means is the same as the mobile ID among the individual information that does not correspond to the mobile information ID managed in association with the mobile ID received from the mobile terminal 5 for the mobile terminal 5 that has accessed the management server means. While the output of the individual information managed in association with the mobile ID belonging to the group is permitted, the output of the individual information managed in association with the mobile ID not belonging to the same group is suppressed.

Next, operation | movement of the system 1 for game centers of this example comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated.
<Main operation of the game system 1>
In this game hall system 1, the individual period starts (game start) by the button operation of the pre-patch button 412A, the button operation of the pre-patch button (not shown) at the base terminal 42, or the insertion of a member card at the base terminal 42. Identified. Further, the end of the individual period (game end) is specified by the button operation of the pre-patch button 421A during the individual period or the discharge of the membership card.

  At the end of the individual period, a two-dimensional code is displayed on the information display device 41 (described later with reference to FIG. 3). If this two-dimensional code is imaged by the mobile terminal 5 such as a mobile phone, the information ID that can specify the individual information that is the game information of the individual period and the homepage address of the data server device 2 on the Internet can be specified (acquired). . When accessing the home page (HP) of the data server device 2 from the mobile terminal 5, the information ID specified from the two-dimensional code and the mobile ID that is identification information of the mobile terminal 5 are transmitted to the data server device 2. The

  The data server device 2 associates the portable ID received from the accessed portable terminal 5 with the received information ID (described later with reference to FIG. 5). In the first access, player information can be input, and the input player information is also associated with a portable ID.

  The information display device 41 identifies game information within the individual period as individual information, and transmits the individual information to the data server device 2 via the game hall management device 30. At this time, since the information ID is transmitted in association with the individual information, the data server device 2 can associate the portable ID with the individual information via the information ID.

  In a game in which a membership card is inserted into the base terminal 42, the period during which the membership card is accepted is specified as the gaming period of the player. When the individual period is ended by discharging the membership card, the information display device 41 does not display the two-dimensional code. In this case, since the individual information associated with the card ID is transmitted to the data server device 2 instead of or in addition to the information ID, in the data server device 2, the mobile ID and the individual information are transmitted via the card ID. It is associated.

  On the HP of the data server device 2, individual information corresponding to the mobile ID can be browsed as shown in FIGS. In addition, players can register with each other as a group, and can view individual information of other players in the group on the premise that they are registered as a group.

  In the data server device 2 of this example, the individual information is retained for at least one week, and the individual information is deleted when the information ID is not received from the portable terminal 5 within one week. The individual information for which the card ID or the information ID is specified is stored for half a year and then deleted. Note that, for example, a maximum of 10 pieces of individual information designated by the player may be excluded from being deleted.

<Handling of membership cards>

  The membership card registration operation can be performed at the registration terminal 33 that is accepting the membership card. When the registration operation by the player is performed, the registration terminal 33 displays a code image in which the HP address of the data server device 2 and the member card ID being received are recorded. If the player captures the code image with the portable terminal 5, the data server device 2 can be accessed in accordance with the reading of the address. If a blank e-mail is transmitted to the data server device 2, the association between the card ID of the member card being accepted by the registration terminal 33 and the portable ID of the portable terminal 5 that is the sender of the blank e-mail is associated with the data server device 2 side. Executed. On the display screen of the registration terminal 33, player information can be input by performing a predetermined reception registration operation. The player information registered in this way is managed by the data server device 2 in association with the card ID.

  When the membership card is received at the stand terminal 42, it is inquired to the data server device 2 via the game hall management device 30 whether or not the card ID has been registered. If registered, the latest game in the database managed by the data server device 2 is updated, and if not registered, the information display device 41 displays that it is registered. In the gaming hall system 1 of this example, individual information is managed in the gaming hall management apparatus 30 in association with information IDs and card IDs. When the card ID is not registered in the data server device 2, the individual information corresponding to the card ID is not transmitted to the data server device 2 and can be viewed on the registration terminal 33 only on the current day.

  In the game hall system 1 of this example, the individual information is transmitted to the data server device 2 not only when the game is finished but also when the mission is completed. However, when the terminal 42 accepts the membership card, the information display The two-dimensional code is not displayed on the terminal 41. Such a specification is a specification for preventing complication of the system by issuing an unnecessary information ID because it is possible to specify which player's individual information is based on the card ID. Instead of the two-dimensional code (ID image) representing the information ID, a two-dimensional code representing the HP address or the like of the data server device 2 may be displayed at the end of the game.

<About Mission>
In the game hall system 1 of this example, mission conditions can be set in the data server device 2. When a mission condition is added or changed on the data server device 2 side, condition information representing the contents is transmitted to the game hall management device 30, and the mission conditions are managed in each game hall. As for the mission condition, the game hall management device 30 cannot accept a setting change by an operation.

  In the game hall system 1 of this example, the information ID is transmitted even at the start of the game, and the data server device 2 manages whether or not each game machine is in an individual period. When the information ID corresponding to the game start is transmitted during the individual period, the next game start is specified after the ongoing individual period is forcibly terminated. The individual information of the individual period forcibly terminated in this way is stored in the data server device 2 after inquiring the game hall management device 30 separately to identify the information ID or card ID. In addition, since the information display apparatus 41 of this example has a specification that does not accept a start operation during an individual period, a new start operation is not performed during the continuation of the individual period. Therefore, on the information display device 41 side, the individual period forcibly terminated as described above and the individual information can be specified. In addition, it may be suppressed by prohibiting the start of the game without inquiring about the information ID, etc., or the start of the game during the individual period is temporarily prohibited, on the condition that it can be specified by inquiring about the information ID etc. A new game start may be allowed. It should be noted that instead of prohibition, it may of course be suppressed by adding restrictions such as requiring employee authentication. The same applies to this point and others.

When the card ID is transmitted at the start of the game, all the individual information corresponding to the card ID is returned from the data server device 2 to the game hall management device 30. The game hall management device 30 compares the mission condition with the received individual information to determine success or failure of the mission. When only the information ID is transmitted at the start of the game, the data server device 2 returns the individual information corresponding to the information ID to the game hall management device 30.
By configuring in this way, on the game site management device 30 side, the individual information of the game played by the player other than the corresponding game site is taken into consideration, and the mission establishment status is determined by the individual information of the player thereafter Can be specified. In addition, as individual information transmitted from the data server device 2, if not all corresponding to the card ID, only individual information corresponding to the mission condition is extracted and transmitted, or the individual information is once aggregated. Even if the accumulated game information is transmitted, and even the game information indicating how much the mission condition can be established, the player's information specified by the individual information associated with the card ID Any game information may be used as long as it is game information.

  When the game hall management device 30 determines that the mission is achieved, the information display device 41 displays an achievement screen and the individual information is transmitted to the data server device 2. In the case of a game in which the membership card is not presented, if the two-dimensional code displayed by the information display device 41 is imaged by the portable terminal 5 and accessed to the data server device 2 to transmit the information ID, it is during an individual period. You can also check individual information on the website and grasp the achievement status of the mission.

  In the game hall system 1 of the present example, the information display device 41 displays the two-dimensional code indicating the information ID a plurality of times when the mission is completed and when the game is completed, so information corresponding to the same individual information is displayed. The ID can be transmitted from the portable terminal 5 a plurality of times. In this case, the information ID indicating the previously displayed information ID is preferentially associated with the individual information. In such a specification, the player who has achieved the mission leaves the seat after that, and during that leave, the other player operates without permission to display the two-dimensional code (information ID), that is, the data, This is a specification for preventing the privilege according to the mission establishment, in other words, preventing the individual information from being associated with a player who is different from the player who played the game. Note that it is determined whether or not the portable ID of the portable terminal 5 has been identified by the data server device 2, and after the identification, the two-dimensional code indicating the information ID is not displayed on the information display device 41 (display) May be suppressed). In addition, information IDs other than when the mission is established depending on the establishment of the association condition for associating (displaying) the information ID established by performing a predetermined operation (continuous pressing of the pre-patch button) or the like during the individual period May be displayed, or the correspondence condition may include a mission condition or the end of an individual period.

Next, the operation of the information display device 41 will be described with reference to FIG.
In the game hall system 1 of this example, a game period that is an individual period is started in accordance with the operation shown in FIG. 3 (FIG. 3A). In the information display device 41, the game information of the individual period is totaled and specified as individual information and displayed as “your data” (b and c in the figure).

  After the start of the game is specified as described above, when the “Purepachi” button 412A is pressed for a long time (for example, for 2 seconds), the end of the game is specified, and the game information for the game period is determined, A two-dimensional code (ID image) including an information ID which is identification information of the game information is displayed (c in the same figure). If the pre-patch button 412A is pressed for a long time after the start of the game is specified, the individual information can be confirmed as shown in (b).

  When the stand terminal 42 accepts the membership card, the acceptance period is specified as the individual period of the player (FIG. 3d). If the “Pure Pachi” button 412A is previously pressed and the start of the game is specified, and then a membership card is received, the membership card reception period from the long press of the preceding “Pure Pachi” button 412A It is sufficient to specify the period until the end of the game as an individual period. In this case, it is not necessary to specify the start of the game according to the insertion of the membership card.

  The two-dimensional code displayed by the information display device 41 includes an information ID, which is identification information that can specify game information for an individual period, and an address of a homepage (hereinafter, HP) operated by the data server device 2 that manages the individual information. , Is an encrypted code. If this two-dimensional code is imaged by the portable terminal 5, the HP of the data server device 2 can be referred to.

Next, the member registration screen of FIG. 4 displayed on the portable terminal 5 when the data server device 2 accesses the HP for the first time will be described.
FIG. 6A shows an input screen for player information displayed when accessing the HP for the first time with a mobile phone. If the player inputs his / her player information on this input screen and selects the registration button at the bottom, a registration confirmation screen shown in FIG. 6B is displayed, and a game described later with reference to FIG. It is possible to switch display to each person's own My Page screen. When browsing individual information, etc., it is only necessary that the mobile server ID and the information ID are associated with each other on the data server device 2 side, and it is not essential to input the player information on the input screen.

  When a plurality of membership cards are possessed, a plurality of membership cards can be registered by selecting an additional button arranged at the bottom of the input screen in FIG. FIG. 4B shows an example of registration of three membership cards. Note that the player information can be modified other than the input screen shown in FIG. Further, when accessing the HP, the portable ID of the portable terminal 5 and the ID information recorded in the two-dimensional code are transmitted to the data server device 2, and both are associated with each other in the data server device 2. Corresponding to the player information input using the input screen.

Next, player information managed by the data server device 2 for each player will be described with reference to FIG.
In the data server device 2, player information such as a card ID received at the time of member registration or the like is managed in association with the mobile ID. In this example, player information is managed for each portable ID. Therefore, a player who owns a plurality of membership cards is also managed as one unit of player information in the data server device 2.

  “Acquired points” in the player information in FIG. 5 indicates the number of points given in accordance with achievement of mission conditions (for example, conditions such as 10 big bonuses) set in advance for the game information. ing. This acquired point can be exchanged for a privilege such as data such as a character image of the gaming machine 40 or an effect sound source.

  Further, “title” in the player information indicates a title that can be acquired by the player in accordance with the achievement of the mission condition. The more difficult mission conditions are cleared, the more kinds of titles that can be selected, and the player can select his / her favorite title.

  “Group name” is a group name to which the player belongs, and “Pachi tomo” is a list of mobile IDs of other players belonging to the group to which the player belongs. “Information ID” is identification information assigned to individual information. This “information ID” is identification information that is identified on the mobile terminal 5 side by imaging the two-dimensional code displayed by the information display device 41 and transmitted when accessing the HP.

  The configuration of this “information ID” is as follows. That is, the first 8 digits correspond to the end of the game period (two-dimensional code display time), the date (year), the next 4 digits are the time of transmission of individual data, and the next 6 digits are games. The place identification number (game room ID) is the last 4 digits of the machine number in the game room.

In this example, by comparing this information ID with the information ID of the game information transmitted from the game hall management device 30, the member's game information is specified and managed in association with the portable ID.
The game information is game information that can specify at least game information such as a jackpot history displayed on the HP, which will be described later. For example, sales (investment) amount and balance (sales amount-(sales medal-out + Any game information such as (safe) x exchange unit price) may be targeted.

Next, the user's own My Page screen in FIG. 6 and the game history screen in FIG. 7 displayed on the mobile terminal 5 when accessing the HP will be described.
On the my page screen of FIG. 6, a menu for moving to various pages, notifications from the system, and the like are displayed together with the latest game information of the player. When the game information corresponding to the mobile terminal 5 that has accessed the HP has not been received from the game hall management device 30, the data server device 2 says “There is game information that cannot be displayed yet. Please update the screen afterwards ", and inquire the game hall management device 30 for individual information corresponding to the received information ID.

  The latest game information items in FIG. 6 will be supplementarily described. Next to the right of the date is a game end time or the like (specific time of information ID). The “game time” is a time corresponding to the game period, and is specified by a time difference between start and end or out. “Last issue” is the issue at the end of the game (safe-out, minus count is not performed). “Maximum appearance” is the highest value of appearance during the game period, and “Maximum continuation” is the maximum value of the number of consecutive resorts (see FIG. 7).

The menu buttons at the bottom of the My Page screen in FIG. 6 are as follows.
・ "Ranking": Moves to a page (screen) that displays the ranking of TOP10, etc. managed by the data server device 2 (number of jackpots, appearance, maximum continuation, etc.) and the player's own ranking, etc. Menu button for.
"Mission": A button for switching to the mission list screen of FIG.
"Point exchange": A menu button for moving to a page for exchanging earned points and benefits (images, sounds, etc.).
・ "Hall Search": A menu button for entering a playground condition and moving to a page for searching a playground.
“Total record” and “Pachi tomo” in the menu will be described later.

  The game history screen of FIG. 7 shows a game history screen that is displayed when “game record” in the menu of FIG. 6 is selected. The game history screen displays game information, game history, and a game history, a game model, and a game number related to the latest game opportunity played by the player. When there are a plurality of pieces of game information, the game information is displayed after being appropriately added or individually counted. By selecting “Previous Game Record” and “Next Game Record” in the game history screen of FIG. 7, it is also possible to view the game records in order of game opportunity, such as before and after moving the table, different business days, or different game venues. is there. In addition, about the gaming machine 40 in game, it is good also displaying the game log | history in game periods other than the individual period of the player.

  Note that the latest game history items in FIG. 7 will be supplementarily described. “Time” indicates the number of occurrences for each occurrence of the special state (BB, RB, ART), and “Time” indicates the occurrence time. “Start” indicates the number of games at the time of occurrence, and “Renso” occurs in the state where the consecutive resort condition that is established when the next special state occurs within 100 games after the end of the special state The number of consecutive resorts that is the number of consecutive occurrences of the special state is shown. “Species” indicates the type of special state (B = BB, R = RB, A = ART, etc.), and “Acquire” indicates the number of acquired game media in the special state (also referred to as “safe-out” or “out of ball”). Show.

Next, the game history screens shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 displayed on the portable terminal 5 when the “total recording” menu such as the personal page screen of FIG. 6 is selected will be described.
FIG. 8 is a game history screen displayed in response to the selection of “total record” in FIG. The “total game information” on the game history screen is total information for which all the game information stored in the data server device 2 is the target of aggregation. “Latest game game day cumulative information” is total information for all game information on the latest game day played by the player. “Latest game playground total information” is total information for all game information in the latest game hall where the player played. “Latest game game model total information” is total information for all game information in the latest game model played by the player.

  When the “previous game (record, date, model)” menu is selected on the game history screen, a game history screen related to game information of the game opportunity before the target game opportunity (the day before if the game date, etc.) is displayed. Is displayed. When “next game (record, date, model)” is selected, the total value of the game information about the game information of the game opportunity next to the target game opportunity (the game room where the game was played next) Displayed on the game history screen. When “Go to game (day, place, model) game record” is selected, the game history screen as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 is switched and detailed game information is displayed.

  FIG. 9 is a game history screen displayed when the “to game day game record” menu in FIG. 8 is selected, and displays the total value of the game field units that played on the corresponding day. FIG. 10 is a game history screen that is displayed when the “Go to Game Hall Game Record” menu in FIG. 8 is selected, and displays the game history in units of game rooms played on that day. In the game history screens of FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, when “Previous Game Date”, “Previous Game Hall”, or the like is selected, the aggregation target is switched in the order of game play. In addition, when the “Go to game model game record” menu is selected, the total value of game information (change of game machine, game hall, game date, etc.) of game information in the latest game machine (not shown) is displayed. The “Machine machine game record” that is the page to be transferred to.

  Here, in the game history screen of FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, when a game hall name or a game machine name is selected, the “game hall game record” of FIG. 10 for the corresponding game hall or game machine name. Shift to the game history screen of "game machine game record". In addition, the “highest record” is a button for switching to a page that displays game information ranked by the number of jackpots, appearance, maximum continuation, etc. of the player's game information aggregated in units of player's gaming opportunities, “Store visit record” is a button for switching to a page displaying game information aggregated in units of game opportunities.

Next, a description will be given of the patty status screen of FIG. 11 and the other person's my page screen of FIG.
11 is a page showing a list of other players who are registered as a group by a predetermined group registration and managed as shown in FIG. 5, and are identified by the latest game information of each player. The amusement hall and the game number to be played are displayed.

  The other person's my page screen of FIG. 12 is a screen displayed when any other player is selected in the situation screen of FIG. On the other person's My Page screen, game information is displayed in the same manner as the My Page screen of FIG. When the “game record”, “game total”, and “ranking” menus are selected from the menu on the other person's My Page screen in FIG. 12, the game history and game for other players as well as the player who is browsing It is possible to move to a page that displays totals and rankings. Note that it is preferable that each player can individually set whether or not to disclose data to group members. In this way, browsing of individual information of other players is allowed on condition that the player belongs to the same group, and browsing of individual information of other players not belonging to the same group is suppressed.

Next, screens displayed on the mobile terminal 5 regarding the mission will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 13 is a mission list screen that is displayed when the “mission” menu is selected on the personal page screen of FIG. On this mission list screen, a list of missions that are effectively set on the data server device 2 is displayed, and the participation status of the corresponding player is displayed.

  When one of the missions is selected on this mission list screen, the mission detail screen of FIG. 14 is displayed, and the contents of the mission and whether or not to participate can be selected. In the game hall system 1 of this example, it is possible to cancel the participating missions halfway. Even if the cancellation is made midway, the progress before the cancellation can be continued as it is when the user joins again.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, when setting mission conditions, each period can be set, and the conditions, acquisition points, acquisition titles, and the like can be set. These can be set on the data server device 2 side, and setting information for specifying the changed contents is transmitted to the game hall management device 30 at any time. Thereby, also in the game hall management apparatus 30, management of mission conditions is possible. Note that, on the mission detail screen of FIG. 14, only the latest mission condition that has been achieved displays the amusement hall and date and time that have been achieved.

  Furthermore, in the game hall system 1 of this example, it is also possible to display a list of achievement statuses of participating missions as shown in the mission status screen of FIG. In the mission list display in the figure, the achievement history is displayed in units of mission types. A mission that is displayed as “unachieved” in the list is a mission that has not achieved any mission conditions. If “Details” is selected, the total information at the time of achievement can be displayed for each mission.

  As described above, in the gaming hall system 1 of the present example, the two-dimensional code representing the information ID that is the identification information of the game information (individual information) of the game period (individual period) is the gaming machine 40 at the end of the game period. Displayed on the side. If the mobile terminal 5 captures the two-dimensional code and accesses the data server device 2, the game information associated with the corresponding information ID can be downloaded from the data server device 2 and viewed.

  In this game hall system 1, individual information that is personal game information of a player is managed in association with an information ID, and if the information ID is specified from the portable terminal 5 and accessed to the system side, the corresponding information is handled. Individual information to be downloaded can be viewed. It is only necessary to transmit an information ID between the gaming machine 40 side to be played and the portable terminal 5, and it is not necessary to exchange a large amount of game information. Furthermore, if the information ID is stored on the portable terminal 5 side, individual information can be browsed, so that it is not necessary to store a large amount of game information.

Note that the following configuration may be employed instead of the configuration of the present example.
As shown in FIG. 3, the information ID is issued in response to the operation of the “Purepachi” button. However, the information ID is issued in advance, and the information ID and the identification information such as the time are set as the corresponding conditions such as the end operation. It may be made to correspond according to.
In this example, the configuration in which the information ID is transmitted from the mobile terminal 5 that has accessed the data server device 2, that is, the configuration in which the information ID is specified by the mobile terminal 5 is illustrated. The information ID can also be specified on the data server device 2 side by transmission or the like.
Further, as long as the personal information can be specified by comparing with the information ID, the portable information ID is not necessarily the same identification information as the information ID. For example, information that can be identified from the information ID can be assumed by adding K or the like to the end of the information ID.

The two-dimensional code is exemplified as the ID image displayed on the information display device 41. However, if the information can be read by the mobile terminal 5 and the information ID or the like can be specified, an image indicating a barcode or a numerical value indicating the information ID ID image may be any image.
Although it is possible to specify the date and time, the game hall, and the machine number as the information ID, it is sufficient that individual information can be specified as the information ID. For example, only the issue number may be specified. In this case, data attribute information that can specify the date and time and the machine number may be transmitted separately. That is, the information that can identify the gaming machine ID may be an information ID or data attribute information. The same applies to information that can specify the game start.

  This example is an example in which the HP of the data server device 2 can be browsed for the mobile terminal 5 that has transmitted the information ID. For example, if the person can be identified by inputting the site password shown in FIG. The browsing of the HP may be permitted by a terminal other than the mobile terminal 5 that has transmitted the information ID (for example, a personal computer).

Although a mobile phone (smartphone) is illustrated as the mobile terminal 5, the call function is not an essential requirement if a display function, an imaging function, a communication function to a public line, or the like is installed like a tablet PC. .
In this example, the card ID of the membership card is adopted as the player ID, but instead of this, it is possible to specify a player such as a mobile phone ID (for example, Felica IDM), fingerprint, face image, etc. Such identification information may be used as the player ID. In addition, the card ID reception period may be from a start operation (presentation of Felica, fingerprint, etc.) to an end operation (re-presentation).

In this example, the configuration in which the mobile terminal 5 transmits the information ID in response to the access to the data server device 2 is illustrated, but the information ID may be transmitted by operating the mobile terminal 5 separately during the access. .
When the information ID in the individual period is preferentially associated with the individual information over the end of the game, the information ID at the end of the game may be transmitted to the data server device 2 at an earlier timing. In this case, the association may be changed when the information ID during the individual period is subsequently transmitted. Whether it is at the end of the game or during the individual period may be specified directly by the information ID, but this is specified by specifying the order by issuing time, associated time, issuing number, etc. May be.

  In this example, the mobile information ID is managed in association with the mobile ID as shown in FIG. 5, and the individual information corresponding to the mobile ID is identified using the mobile information ID as a key.
