Description

  The present invention relates to a game arcade system applied to a game arcade where game machines are installed.

  Conventionally, in game rooms where gaming machines are installed, nails and setting values of gaming machines are adjusted with reference to past aggregated data. As an information processing apparatus for a game arcade, an information processing apparatus that predicts how much sales and gross profit can be obtained when adjusting the nails and setting values of a gaming machine has been proposed (for example, patents) Reference 1).

  This information processing apparatus calculates a predicted value such as sales in response to input of a set value of all gaming machines and an estimated value of the number of balls used (injected) in the game (the number of balls used). In this information processing apparatus, when a set value is changed, a predicted value such as sales is updated in conjunction with the change.

  However, the conventional information processing apparatus has the following problems. That is, in an actual game, the number of used balls tends to increase as a gaming machine with a higher appearance rate, and the number of used balls tends to decrease as the output rate decreases. There is a problem that is not considered at all.

The predicted value calculating means is based on the used game value of each set value calculated by the assumed used game value calculating means and the set value distribution input by the set value distribution input means. A predicted value of data related to the used game value is calculated using the number of gaming machines of the set value.
Since this game system takes into account the tendency that the used game value varies depending on the rate of the participation rate, the predicted value related to the used game value can be calculated with high accuracy.
The game system uses a game value for each set value and calculates a game value used per game machine for each set value based on the value obtained by the game value information totaling means. A calculation means;
In calculating the predicted value of the data related to the used game value, one of a first pattern that uses the predicted value of the used game value and a second pattern that uses the actual value of the used game value is selected. And a selection means for
When the first pattern is selected by the selection means, the predicted value calculation means is calculated by the setting value distribution specified by the setting information input by the setting information input means and the assumed use game value calculation means.

  In this case, for example, for normal sales other than event sales, a predicted value such as sales is calculated based on the actual used game value, and in event sales, based on the used game value of the predicted value entered. It is possible to use properly by calculating a predicted value such as sales.

  The reference set value determining means included in the game system is less than or equal to the total actual payout rate calculated by the total payout rate calculating means among the actual payout rates per set value calculated by the set value payout rate calculating means. It is also possible to select the actual output rate for each set value that is most approximate to the total actual output rate, and determine the set value corresponding to the actual output rate for each set value as the reference set value.

  In general, the game hall side tends to use a set value with a low degree of advantage. Therefore, the reference set value is determined by selecting the actual output rate for each set value that is equal to or less than the total actual output rate calculated by the total output rate calculating means among the actual output rates for each set value. Then, the calculation accuracy of the predicted value can be further improved.

The game system uses the total actual use to calculate the total actual use game value, which is the used game value per game machine, for each business day based on the total value by the game value information totaling means. A game value calculation means,
The ratio calculating means calculates the used gaming value ratio for each of at least two ranges set for the used gaming value per gaming machine per business day,
The assumed use game value calculation means may calculate the use game value of each set value using a use game value ratio corresponding to a range of use game values to which the total actual use game value belongs.
The used game value ratio tends to vary depending on the range of the used game value. If the predicted value is calculated in consideration of such a tendency, the calculation accuracy can be further improved.

The embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the following examples.
(Example)
This example is an example related to the game system 1 that predicts sales and the like with high accuracy. The contents will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game hall system 1 of this example can communicate with the in-game system 3 of each game hall and the data server device 2 installed outside the game hall via a public communication line 100 such as the Internet. It is a system connected in a stable state. The data server device 2 can perform data communication with a plurality of in-house systems 3 via the public communication line 100. When the public communication line 100 such as the Internet is employed, a high security level can be secured by using, for example, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology. Further, as the public communication line 100, another public communication line such as an ISDN line or a telephone line can be adopted.

  In the on-site system 3, the slot machine (game machine) 5, the information display device 41, the lending device 42, and the like are connected to the on-site network 300 via the repeater 45. The repeater 45 associates a game number output from the corresponding slot machine 5 with a game number serving as a gaming machine ID and sends it to the on-site network 300, and fetches communication data associated with the machine number from the on-site network 300. It is.

  In the on-site system 3, in addition to the repeater 45, the game hall management device 30 is connected to the on-site network 300. The information display device 41, the lending device 42, and the like are connected to the game hall management device 30 in a state where communication is possible via the in-place network 300. The game hall management device 30 is connected to the public communication line 100 in addition to the in-place network 300.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the information display device 41 is a horizontally long device disposed in a space above the slot machine 5. On the front side of the information display device 41, lamps 416 are arranged on both the left and right sides with the information display unit 415 as the center. Operation buttons such as a data switch button 411 and a call button 412 are arranged below the information display unit 415.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the slot machine 5 of this example is a gaming machine that gives a prize according to the combination of symbols 525 stopped and displayed in the symbol display window 51.
In the slot machine 5, the front portion facing the player is formed by a front frame body 50 having a substantially rectangular symbol display window 51 provided at a substantially center. In the front frame 50, a base portion 500 that forms the base of the slot machine 5 is formed on the lower side in the vertical direction of the symbol display window 51.

  The base portion 500 is formed so as to protrude relatively toward the player with respect to the symbol display window 51 located behind the player. The base unit 500 has a table-like operation surface 54 at the upper end adjacent to the symbol display window 51, a medal tray 55 for receiving a given medal at the lower end, and along the lower side of the operation surface 54. An operation panel 53 is provided.

The operation surface 54 is provided with a bet button 64 for betting medals credited by the credit function and a medal insertion slot 630 for inserting medals to bet on the game. The operation panel 53 is provided with a start lever 62 for starting the change display of the symbol 525 and three stop buttons 61 for stopping the symbol change.
The bet button 64 is an operation button for betting a required number of medals for a new game. If the bet button 64 is operated in the normal gaming state, the number of medals required for one game can be bet.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the symbol display window 51 is a display window in which three symbol display areas 511 for three symbols are arranged. In the symbol display window 51, nine symbols arranged in a two-dimensional matrix of 3 rows and 3 columns are displayed. One symbol reel is arranged inside each of the three symbol display areas 511.

  In the slot machine 5, the start of the game is permitted when a prescribed number of medals are bet on the game in response to the operation of the bet button 64 or the insertion of medals into the medal insertion slot 630. When the start lever 62 is operated with the game start permitted, the three symbol reels start to rotate all at once, and the symbol variation display is started.

  The symbol reels are individually stopped according to the operation of the corresponding stop button 61. When all the symbol reels are stopped, if the winning symbols are aligned along the winning line set in the symbol display window 51, a winning prize is awarded and a corresponding number of medals are awarded. On the other hand, if there are no winning symbols, the game will be lost.

  In the slot machine 5 of this example, in addition to a bonus combination that is an opportunity for a bonus game, a small combination such as a 15-piece combination and a 10-piece combination, and a combination such as a replay combination that enables a re-game are set. The slot machine 5 generates a bonus game when the bonus combination is won. The bonus game is a gaming state that is advantageous to the player with a high winning rate for a small role, and ends when the medal grant count reaches the end grant count.

The game signals that the slot machine 5 of this example outputs externally as the game progresses include at least the following game signals.
(1) Safe signal (grant signal): output once every time a medal corresponding to a prize is awarded.
(2) Out signal (use signal): Outputs the number of medals used (inserted) for the game. Output in response to the start of the game.
(3) Sales signal: output once every time five medals are lent.
(4) Bonus signal: a level signal that is output during the continuation of the bonus game.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the game hall management device 30 includes a display device 32 that includes a liquid crystal display, a device body 31 that executes various arithmetic processes, and an input device 33 that includes a keyboard and a mouse. It is. The apparatus main body 31 includes a hard disk drive that stores game data and the like of each slot machine 5 in addition to a CPU (not shown) that executes arithmetic processing.

The display device 32 has a function as data output means 321 for outputting various business data.
The input device 33 has functions as the following means.
(1) Setting information input means 331
For each model of the slot machine 5 installed in the game hall, the game hall manager or the like manually inputs setting information regarding the setting values. The setting information is information that can specify the setting value distribution for each model, and the setting value distribution is a gaming machine for each setting value that an administrator or the like plans to set for a plurality of gaming machines in the game hall. It is information representing a number.
(2) Used game value input means 333
For each model of the slot machine 5, an administrator or the like manually inputs an expected value of out (used game value), which is the number of used medals per business day (number of inserted games).

The apparatus main body 31 has functions as the following means.
(1) Game signal input means 311
A safe signal and an out signal output from each slot machine 5 are input.
(2) Game value information totaling means 312
Outs of the slot machines 5 are totaled according to the number of times of use signal input by the game signal input means 311, and safes of the slot machines 5 are totaled according to the number of times of input of the grant signals.

(3) Total appearance rate calculation means 313
The total actual output ratio, which is the ratio for each model and the ratio of the safe total value to the out total value, is calculated.
(4) Reference set value determination means 314
For each set value that is less than or equal to the total actual output rate and is most similar to the total actual output rate among the actual output rates for each set value received from the data server device 2 (described later with reference to FIG. 3). The actual output rate is selected, and the set value corresponding to the actual output rate for each set value is determined as the reference set value.

(5) Assumed game value calculation means 315
Assuming that the expected out value input via the input device 33 is the reference out of the reference set value, the assumed out per slot machine for each set value is calculated. A specific method for calculating this assumption-out will be described later.
(6) Actual use game value calculation means 319 for each set value
The actual out per business day for each set value is calculated for each slot machine type.
(7) Predicted value calculation means 316
For each model of the slot machine 5, a predicted value of data relating to out is calculated. There are two patterns of calculation of predicted values by the predicted value calculation means 316 of this example.
The first pattern is a pattern in which a predicted value is calculated using an assumption out of each set value per slot machine and the number of gaming machines of each set value. If the multiplication value obtained by multiplying the assumed out per slot machine by the number of gaming machines is obtained for each set value, and the sum of all the set values is taken, the predicted value of out for each model according to the first pattern Can be calculated.
The second pattern is a pattern in which a predicted value is calculated by using the actual out of each set value per slot machine and the number of gaming machines of each set value. If a multiplication value obtained by multiplying the actual out per slot machine by the number of gaming machines is obtained for each set value, and the sum of all the set values is taken, the predicted value of out for each model by the second pattern Can be calculated.
(8) Data upload means 317
For each model of the slot machine 5, the number of gaming machines for each set value, the out and the outgoing rate are transmitted to the data server device 2.
(9) Selection means 318
It is a means for selecting either the first pattern or the second pattern in calculating the predicted value of data relating to out.

  Next, the configuration of the data server device 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the data server device 2 is connected to a plurality of on-site systems 3 via a public communication line 100. The data server device 2 is installed outside the game hall so as to manage the in-game system 3 of each game hall. The data server device 2 can transmit and receive various types of information to and from the game hall management device 30 of a plurality of game halls.

The data server device 2 has functions as the following means.
(1) Game data acquisition means 201
The game data uploaded from the game hall management device 30 installed in the game hall is received.
(2) Total achievement use game value calculation means 202
The total performance out (total actual game value used) that is out per business day is calculated for each model.
(3) Setting value calculation rate calculation means 203
Using game data uploaded from each game hall side, for each model of the slot machine 5, the out of the results per slot machine and the actual output rate for each set value are calculated for each set value (see FIG. 3). ).
(4) Ratio calculation means 205
For each type of slot machine 5, the ratio between the out per slot machine for which the setting value 1 is set and the out per slot machine for the other setting values (setting values 2 to 6) is represented. An out ratio for each set value (a game value ratio for each set value) is calculated (see FIG. 4). In this example, there are three types of slot machines: RT (replay time), ART (assist replay time), and normal having no functions such as RT and ART. Each type has one or more models.
(5) Data distribution means 207
The actual output rate per set value (FIG. 3) and the out ratio data (FIG. 4) per set value for each model of the slot machine 5 are distributed to each game arcade.

  In the gaming hall system 1 of the present example configured as described above, the gaming hall management device 30 tabulates the gaming data (out, safe, etc.) of the slot machine 5 of each set value for each model. The game data of these results is uploaded to the data server device 2 after the game hall is closed.

  The data server device 2 executes the statistical process for each model of the slot machine 5 using the game data uploaded from each game hall. The game data generated by the data server device 2 by the statistical processing for each model includes the actual output rate for each set value (FIG. 3), the out ratio of each set value (used game value ratio, FIG. 4), and the like.

  In particular, for the out ratio of each set value in FIG. 4, the out ratio of each set value is calculated for each of the four out ranges. The out ratio in the figure is a ratio based on the out of the set value 1. Here, since the data server device 2 can collect a large amount of game data, it can generate highly accurate game data.

  The game hall management device 30 of each game hall can execute simulations such as sales prediction using the game data of FIGS. 3 and 4 received from the data server device 2. The simulation conditions can be set on the pachislot plan screen shown in FIG. 5 displayed on the liquid crystal display. Each item in this pachislot plan screen is as follows.

(1) Start date The date when the corresponding model was installed in the amusement hall with replacement settings.
(2) By setting value The number of slot machines 5 installed for each setting value. The setting value 1 column cannot be input. When the installation number (setting information) of the slot machines 5 having the setting values 2 to 6 is input, the installation number of the slot machines 5 having the setting value 1 is automatically calculated and displayed.
(3) Results Out When the day to be simulated is a weekday, the average out for the most recent 7 days is input. If the day to be simulated is a holiday, an average out for the 7 days of the most recent holiday is input. Zero if there is not enough data for 7 days. The reference period can be changed.

(4) Reference Out Set “Actual”, “Manual (Individual)”, or “Manual (Common)” on another screen (not shown). When “actual” is set, the actual out is the reference out. In the case of “manual (individual)” or “manual (common)”, the estimated value of manually input out is the reference out. Depending on which is set, the method for calculating the planned out (predicted value) differs.
(5) Planned out When “actual” is selected, the actual out becomes “planned out”, and the game related to out based on the set value distribution and the actual out for each set value input in the “by set value” field. Various data including data (planned unit sales, planned unit gross margin, planned unit gross margin, etc.) is calculated. When “manual (individual)” is selected, the average value of out for each set value calculated by a method described later becomes “planned out”, and the set value distribution and the set value calculated by a method described later are set for each set value. Various data are calculated based on the out. When “manual (common)” is selected, the input value of the reference out becomes “planned out”, and various data are calculated based on the set value distribution with the input value of the reference out being out of all the set values.

(6) Reference output rate When a target output rate is input to this item and the “>>” button on the right side is clicked, a set value distribution is set so that the output rate is obtained as described later with reference to FIG. The pattern is displayed.
(7) Planned output rate The calculated output rate in the same way as planned out.
(8) Plan stand sales Plan stand sales = rental unit price (by model) x plan out. Lending unit price = sales amount ÷ out.

(9) Plan stand gross margin Plan stand gross margin = plan stand sales-{(1-output rate) x plan out x unit price for lending} x cost rate. (1-out rate) × planned out × selling unit price corresponds to a premium amount (amount of premium balls counted by a counter and exchanged for a premium). Cost rate = replacement unit price / loan unit price. In this embodiment, the cost rate = 20 yen ÷ 20 yen = 1.
(10) Planned gross profit Planned gross profit = Planned gross profit / Planned out.

Next, an out calculation method for each set value when “manual (individual)” is selected will be described. In this calculation method, the following three data are used.
(1) Out of the actual results of the corresponding model in the store and the total actual output ratio during a preset reference period (for example, the past three months).
(2) Actual output rate for each set value of the corresponding model downloaded from the data server device 2 (for example, FIG. 3).
(3) Out ratio for each set value downloaded from the data server device 2 (for example, FIG. 4). Such an out ratio for each set value is distributed for each type of slot machine 5. The slot machine 5 includes normal, RT, and ART.

Here, the following calculation examples are introduced.
(A) The actual result of the corresponding model at the store during the reference period is 10,000, and the total actual output rate is 99.0%.
(B) The actual output rate for each set value shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is distributed from the data server device 2.

  Since the total actual appearance rate of the corresponding model of the own store is 99.0%, the actual output rate for each set value distributed from the data server device 2 as shown in FIG. The actual output rate for each set value that is closest is 98.8% of the set value 2. As a result, the reference set value is determined to be the set value 2 as shown in FIG. Further, since the actual out of the store is 10,000, out of the out ratio (used game value ratio) for each set value distributed from the data server device 2 as shown in FIG. The out ratio for each set value of 1,000 is selected (see FIG. 6).

  In this situation, when 12,000 (predicted value) is input in the reference out column for the corresponding model on the pachislot plan screen in FIG. 5, an assumed out for each set value is calculated. In calculating the assumed out for each set value, the game hall management device 30 first sets the out ratio for each set value in FIG. 6 (other set values based on the out of the set value 1 (set values 2 to 6)). ) Is converted into an out ratio for each set value based on the reference set value. Further, by multiplying the converted out ratio for each set value by the reference out, an assumed out per slot machine is calculated for each set value as follows.

(1) Out of set value 1 = reference out × (out ratio of set value 1 ÷ out ratio of reference set value) = 12000 × (1 ÷ 1.03) = 1650
(2) Out of set value 2 = (input value of reference out) = 12000
(3) Out of set value 3 = reference out × (out ratio of set value 3 / out ratio of reference set value) = 12000 × (1.07 ÷ 1.03) = 1246
(4) Out of set value 4 = reference out × (out ratio of set value 4 / out ratio of reference set value) = 12000 × (1.20 ÷ 1.03) = 13981
(5) set value 5 out = reference out × (out ratio of set value 5 / out ratio of reference set value) = 12000 × (1.35 ÷ 1.03) = 15728
(6) Out of set value 6 = reference out × (out ratio of set value 6 / out ratio of reference set value) = 12000 × (1.50 ÷ 1.03) = 17476

  As described above, the setting value distribution pattern screen in FIG. 7 is a display screen that is displayed when the target rate is input and the “>>” button is clicked on the pachislot plan screen in FIG. On this set value distribution pattern screen, the target output rate is displayed as the reference output rate, while the output rate range can be set. For example, if the output rate range is 1.0, the set value distribution that is the output rate range from (reference output rate-1.0) to the reference output rate is extracted and displayed.

  FIG. 7 shows an example when the reference output rate is 98.5% and the output rate range is 1.0%. For example, the top No. The set value distribution pattern 1 indicates a set value distribution in which the set value 1 is zero, the set value 2 is 11, the set value 3 is 7, and the set values 4 to 6 are zero. It is 98.5%.

  As described above, the gaming system 1 according to the present example takes into account the tendency that the game machine 5 with a higher turnout rate has more outs, and the lower the turnout rate, the less outs, and the predicted value of sales, etc. is accurate. It is a system with excellent characteristics that can be calculated highly.

  In this example, the out ratio for each set value for each type is distributed from the data server device 2 to each game hall, but the out ratio for each set value for each model may be distributed. Further, in this example, the out ratio for each set value is calculated for each of the four stages of results out. It is not essential to calculate the out ratio for each set value for each range of the actual out, and the out ratio for each set value that does not depend on the actual out may be used. In this case, the performance out of the above (A) becomes unnecessary.

Instead of this example, a slot machine 5 that outputs information representing a set value to the game hall management device 30 may be employed. In this case, in the game hall management device 30, it is possible to omit an input operation of setting information regarding each slot machine 5 installed in the game hall.
In this example, the sales amount is predicted using game data distributed from the data server device 2. Instead of this, each means provided in the data server device 2 can be provided in the game hall management device 30 or the like, and sales or the like can be predicted based on the data of the own store.
In this example, the out ratio for each setting value of each type of the slot machine 5 is downloaded, but the out ratio for each setting value of each model may be downloaded.

  As described above, specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail as in the embodiments. However, these specific examples merely disclose an example of the technology included in the scope of claims. Needless to say, the scope of the claims should not be construed as limited by the configuration, numerical values, or the like of the specific examples.
