The number of played game balls is counted and stored.
The control unit 48 operates the display unit 41 (touch panel) as a good impression information receiving unit, and receives good impression information from the display area 41e as shown in FIG. 7A, for example.
The good impression information is information indicating an impression that the player who has acquired the game ball related to the acquired game medium information has with respect to the gaming machine 10 that has acquired the game ball, and has a particularly good impression on the gaming machine 10. This is information indicating this.
For example, the control unit 48 causes the display area 41e to display, for example, a “Like” button and a “Like button” on which a “Like” character and a predetermined pattern are displayed in order to perform a touch operation on the display area 41e. The player decides whether or not to touch the “Like button” (display area 41e). Such a display is displayed after counting of the game balls is started, for example, after one or more game balls are displayed in the display area 41a, and then the display area 41e can be touch-operated.

In addition, the control unit 48 causes the display unit 41 to operate as the display unit according to the present invention, and displays the number of received good impression information received in the past in the display area 41f.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, “11 people” are received as the number of good impression information received in the past, and “I like it” in addition to this. Can also be displayed.
The number of received good impression information received in the past is the number of received good impression information received in the past with respect to the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the machine number input via the remote controller 50, or the gaming machine corresponding to this machine number. 10 is the total number of good impression information received in the past with respect to the gaming machine 10 having the same model name. The number of receptions received in the past is the number of receptions of good impression information received from a past point in time to the present point. For example, from the start of business on that business day until it is displayed in the display area 41f. The number of acceptances received.
In this way, by displaying the number of received good impression information received in the past, it is possible to provide information used as a determination material to a player who is at a loss whether or not to perform a touch operation.

On the display unit 41, in addition to displaying the number of acceptances, the value being counted is displayed in the display area 41a, and the machine number input via the remote controller 50 is displayed in the display area 41b.
In addition, the model name of the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the machine number can be displayed in the display area 41c, and a model image such as a character related to the model name can be displayed in the display area 41d.

Moreover, if the control part 48 receives favorable impression information from the display area 41e, it will update the display content of the display part 41 as shown in FIG.7 (b).
For example, when good impression information is received from the display area 41e, the number of receptions displayed in the display area 41f is updated to at least the number of receptions including one piece of good impression information related to the reception. In this example, the number of receptions before reception of good impression information was “11 people” (see FIG. 7A), but after receiving one good impression information, it was updated to “12 people” and the message also “You and 12 people like it! Is updated.
Thereby, the player who touched the “Like button” (display area 41e) can confirm that his / her impression was reflected as a numerical value.
Further, when the good impression information is received from the display area 41e, it can be notified that the good impression information has been received by changing the background color of the display area 41e.

The number of received good impression information received in the past displayed in the display area 41 f in this way is transmitted from the aggregation server 70 via the communication unit 47.
The number of received good impression information is stored in the totaling server 70 in association with the gaming machine 10 and is transmitted from the totaling server 70 based on a request from the counter 40.
For example, when information (for example, a machine number) that can identify the gaming machine 10 is input via the remote controller 50, the control unit 48 causes the communication unit 47 to operate as the information output unit according to the present invention, and step 1 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the machine number is transmitted to the aggregation server 70 via the communication unit 47. The aggregation server 70 transmits the output data 1 (see FIG. 6B) including the number of good impression information received (total “Like!” Number) associated with the machine number to the counter 40. Thereby, the control part 48 can display the reception number of the good impression information received in the past in the display area 41f of the display part 41, as shown to Fig.7 (a).

Similarly, the total number of accepted good impression information received in the past, which is updated after the good impression information is received, is also transmitted from the aggregation server 70.
For example, when good impression information is received from the display area 41e, the control unit 48 causes the communication unit 47 to operate as the information output unit according to the present invention, and as shown in step 2 of FIG. Input data 1 (see FIG. 6A) including the touch operation “1”) and the machine number is transmitted to the aggregation server 70. The aggregation server 70 updates the number of received good impression information associated with the machine number based on the input data 1 and transmits the updated output data 1 (see FIG. 6B) to the counter 40. Accordingly, the control unit 48 can display the updated number of received good impression information received in the past in the display area 41 f of the display unit 41 as shown in FIG. In addition, by updating the number of received good impression information received in the past via the aggregation server 70 in this way, the number of received good impression information received in the entire game hall is accurately reflected in the received number. become.

Note that the number of good impression information received in the past in the display area 41 f can be updated based on the output data 1 transmitted from the totaling server 70, but the control unit 48 passes the totaling server 70. Rather than directly updating the number of good impression information received in the past based on reception of good impression information from the display area 41e, the number of good impression information displayed in the display area 41f is updated. You can also.

In addition, the control unit 48 operates as reception time counting means, and measures the time from the predetermined timing until the good impression information is received (hereinafter referred to as the time until the touch operation).
For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, timing is started from the timing when the “Like button” is displayed in the display area 41e, and this “Like button” (display area 41e) is touch-operated. Time until. This time means that the shorter the time, the better the impression.
The time until this touch operation is transmitted to the aggregation server 70 via the communication unit 47.
For example, as shown in step 2 of FIG. 9, the control unit 48 receives input data 1 (see FIG. 6A) including good impression information (“1” with touch operation) and the time until the touch operation and the unit number. The data is transmitted to the aggregation server 70.
Thereby, the totaling server 70 can total the time to touch operation regarding the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the machine number.
The aggregated value is, for example, an average value of the time until a touch operation related to good impression information received in the past, and this average value is for each gaming machine 10 corresponding to the machine number or a gaming machine corresponding to the machine number. It is possible to calculate for each gaming machine 10 having the same model name as 10.
This average value can be included in the output data 1 (see FIG. 6 (b)). Thus, the display unit 41 displays not only the number of good impression information received in the past but also the average value. Can be displayed (step 1 (before update), step 2 (after update) in FIG. 9), and can be provided as information that can be used as a judgment material to a player who is uncertain about whether or not to perform a touch operation.

Further, when the ticket t is issued from the ticket printing printer 45, the control unit 48 prints and issues a number indicating the order of acceptance of the good impression information in the print area tc of the ticket t, for example, as shown in FIG. . The order of acceptance of good impression information is the total number of good impression information received during a certain period (for example, from business start to issuance of ticket t on a certain business day) regardless of the unit number (for example, FIG. b) The total number of “likes” shown in b).
By printing such a number indicating the order of acceptance on the ticket t, it is possible to give a privilege corresponding to the number to the player who has received the ticket t. For example, when the number is “77”, it is possible to give a privilege such as gifting a service item at the time of a prize exchange performed in exchange for the ticket t.
When the ticket t is issued, for example, the print area ta includes a serial number that can identify the ticket t, a coded two-dimensional code such as acquired game medium information, and the print area tb. The acquired game medium information (count value) is printed and issued.

Further, when issuing the ticket t, the control unit 48 inputs the input data 2 including the serial number that can identify the ticket t, the machine number input via the remote controller 50, and the acquired game medium information (see FIG. 6C). ) Is transmitted to the game hall server 80 via the communication unit 47.
Thereby, the game hall server 80 stores them in association with each other.

Thereby, as shown in FIG. 11B, the control unit 66 can display the updated number of received good impression information received in the past in the display area 62f of the player side display unit 62. In addition, by updating the number of received good impression information received in the past via the aggregation server 70 in this way, the number of received good impression information received in the entire game hall is accurately reflected in the received number. become.
The output data 1 also includes a model image (see FIG. 6B), whereby the control unit 66 can display the model image in the display area 62d of the player side display unit 62. .
Note that the number of good impression information received in the past in the display area 62 f can be updated based on the output data 1 transmitted from the totaling server 70, but the control unit 66 passes through the totaling server 70. Instead, the number of good impression information displayed in the display area 62f is updated by directly updating the number of good impression information received in the past based on the reception of good impression information from the display area 62e. You can also.

In addition, the control unit 66 operates as a reception time counting means, and measures the time from the predetermined timing until the good impression information is received.
For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, timing is started from the timing when the “Like button” is displayed in the display area 62e, and this “Like button” (display area 62e) is touch-operated. Time until.
The time until this touch operation is transmitted to the aggregation server 70 via the communication unit 65.
For example, as shown in step 3 of FIG. 13, the control unit 66 receives input data 1 (see FIG. 6A) including good impression information (“1” with touch operation) and the time until the touch operation and the unit number. The data is transmitted to the aggregation server 70.
Thereby, the totaling server 70 can total the time to touch operation regarding the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the machine number.
The aggregated value is, for example, an average value of the time until a touch operation related to good impression information received in the past, and this average value is for each gaming machine 10 corresponding to the machine number or a gaming machine corresponding to the machine number. It is possible to calculate for each gaming machine 10 having the same model name as 10.
This average value can be included in the output data 1 (see FIG. 6 (b)), so that not only the number of received good impression information received in the past but also this average is displayed on the player side display unit 62. A value can also be displayed (step 2 (before update) and step 3 (after update) in FIG. 13), and can be provided as information that can be used as a judgment material to a player who is unsure whether or not to perform a touch operation.

Also, the gift exchange 60 includes a printer that prints and issues a receipt indicating a history of gift exchange, and issues a receipt r as shown in FIG. 12, for example, based on a predetermined gift exchange confirmation operation.
When issuing the receipt r, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 66 prints and issues a number indicating the acceptance order of the good impression information in the print area ra of the receipt r. The order of acceptance of good impression information is the total number of good impression information received during a certain period (for example, from the start of business to the issue of receipt r on a certain business day) regardless of the unit number (for example, FIG. ) Is the total number of “Like!”
By printing such a number indicating the acceptance order on the receipt r, it is possible to give a privilege corresponding to the number to the player who has received the receipt r. For example, when the number is a doublet such as “77”, a privilege such as gifting a service item can be given at the time of prize exchange (for example, exchange for cash) performed in exchange for the receipt r.

Further, the control unit 66, based on a predetermined prize exchange completion operation indicating the completion of the prize exchange process, the input data 1 (FIG. 6 (a) including the presence / absence of reception of the machine number and good impression information (presence of touch operation)). )) Is transmitted to the aggregation server 70 (at least when there is no touch operation “0”).
When the good impression information is received from the display area 62e, the touch operation is performed together with the good impression information (“1” with touch operation) in order to update the number of received good impression information received in the past displayed in the display area 62f. When the input data 1 (see FIG. 6 (a)) including the time to start and the serial number has already been transmitted to the tabulation server 70, it may not be transmitted, but it can also be transmitted again.

The control operation of the player side display unit 62 performed by the control unit 66 as described above is executed based on the flowchart relating to the exchange screen display process shown in FIG.
The controller 66 determines whether or not the serial number that can identify the acquired information recording medium issued from the ticket t or the inter-vehicle machine 30 is read (S11). If the serial number is read (S11-Yes), the machine number is acquired from the serial number (S12). This acquisition is performed by transmitting the read serial number to the game hall server 80 and receiving the machine number associated with the serial number from the game hall server 80 as a response.
When the unit number is acquired, “like!” Display information is acquired from the aggregation server 70 (S13). This acquisition is performed by transmitting the machine number to the aggregation server 70 and receiving the output data 1 from the aggregation server 70 as a response.
Subsequently, the “Like” screen shown in FIG. 11A is displayed, which includes a “Like button” (display area 62e), the number of good impression information received (display area 62f), and the like (S14). .
Next, it is determined whether or not the “Like button” (display area 62e) is touched (S15). If there is a touch operation (S15—Yes), the display screen of the player side display unit 62 is displayed as shown in FIG. (S16).
This update is performed by receiving the updated output data 1 from the aggregation server 70. Specifically, when the control unit 66 transmits the input data 1 including the good impression information related to the touch operation (“1” with touch operation) to the totaling server 70, the totaling server 70 determines the good impression based on the input data 1. This is done by updating the number of received information and receiving the updated output data 1 from the aggregation server 70.
Subsequent to S16 or at S15-No, it is determined whether or not a predetermined gift exchange completion operation has been performed (S17, S18).
When there is no prize exchange completion operation (S17-No, S18-No), the state is continued, and when a prize exchange completion operation is performed (S17-Yes, S18-Yes), a receipt r is issued and a good impression is given. The input data 1 including the presence / absence of information reception (touch information) is transmitted to the aggregation server 70 (S19), and the process ends.

In addition, in the gift exchange 60, when the counter 40 has already received the good impression information, the good impression information cannot be received. When the counter 40 has not received the good impression information, the good impression information can be received. To do.
In order to realize such an operation, when the counter 66 has already received the good impression information in the counter 40, the controller 66 disables the reception of the good impression information from the player side display unit 62, and the counter 40 has a good impression. When the information is not received, the player side display unit 62 is controlled so that the good impression information can be received from the player side display unit 62.
For example, the control unit 66 acquires the presence / absence (touch operation history) of the good impression information in the counter 40 via the communication unit 65 from the aggregation server 70, and the player side based on the acquired reception / non-acquisition By controlling the display unit 62, it is controlled whether or not good impression information can be accepted.

Specifically, the control unit 66 transmits the machine number received from the game hall server 80 to the totaling server 70. The aggregation server 70 searches the input data 1 shown in FIG. 6A for the presence / absence of the touch operation associated with the unit number, and searches for the presence / absence of the touch operation related to the unit number (for the same unit number). When there is a plurality of input data, the presence / absence of a touch operation on the input data 1 input in the near future is transmitted to the gift exchange 60. Thereby, the control part 66 can determine the presence or absence of the touch operation in the counter 40 of the said player.
When it is determined that there is a touch operation on the counter 40, for example, the control unit 66 disables acceptance of good impression information from the player side display unit 62, for example, a “Like button” in the display area 62e. Is controlled so that the player side display unit 62 is not displayed (in this case, the number of received good impression information received in the past can also be not displayed in the display area 62f), as shown in FIG. Even if the “Like! Button” and the updated number of received good impression information received in the past are displayed, the good impression information cannot be received and the background color of the display area 62e is changed. Control is performed to notify that information has been received.
On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no touch operation on the counter 40, the “like button” (display area 62e), the number of good impression information received (display area 62f), and the like are shown in FIG. The player side display unit 62 is controlled so as to display the “Like” screen shown.

  That is, in the game hall information collection system 1, when the counter 40 is the first input device according to the present invention and the prize exchange 60 is the second input device according to the present invention, The prize exchange 60 cannot accept the good impression information, and when the counter 40 does not accept the good impression information, the prize exchange 60 can accept the good impression information. Since the player corresponding to the item can perform the touch operation only once in either the counter 40 or the prize exchange 60, the reliability of the number of received good impression information is improved.

The control of the player side display unit 62 performed by the control unit 66 is executed based on the flowchart relating to the display control process shown in FIG.
The control unit 66 acquires a touch history (whether or not good impression information is accepted) from the counting machine 40 of the player from the counting server 70 via the communication unit 65 (S21), and a game is performed based on the acquired touch history. The customer side display unit 62 is controlled.
When it is determined that there is no touch operation (S22-No), the “like button” (display area 62e), the number of good impression information received (display area 62f), and the like shown in FIG. The “Like!” Screen is displayed (S23), and the process is terminated.
On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a touch operation (S22-Yes), the processing ends without displaying the “Like button” in the display area 62e.

For example, it is possible to evaluate a gaming machine 10 having good performance data (for example, having a large gross profit) and a large number of acceptances of good impression information as a gaming machine with a high degree of contribution in the game hall management.
In this case, a value obtained by dividing the gross profit by the number of received good impression information can be used as the evaluation index value of the gaming machine 10. For example, by comparing the value obtained by dividing the average gross profit for each model by the average number of acceptances between the models, the contribution degree of each model can be evaluated. This evaluation index value indicates that the smaller the value is, the higher the evaluation is.
On the other hand, the gaming machine 10 having poor performance data and a small number of good impression information can be selected as a replacement target gaming machine.
Also, it is possible to exclude gaming machines 10 having a large number of received good impression information from the target gaming machines to be exchanged despite poor performance data.
In addition, when there are a plurality of gaming machines 10 with poor performance data and a small number of acceptance of good impression information, when any one of the gaming machines 10 is selected as a replacement target gaming machine, the average value of time until the touch operation It is possible to determine a gaming machine 10 having a large number as a replacement target gaming machine. This is because if the number of received good impression information is the same value, it can be determined that the longer the time until the touch operation, the worse the player's impression on the gaming machine 10.
In this way, the game hall manager can evaluate the degree of contribution of each gaming machine 10 in the game hall management, including not only the performance data but also the number of good impression information received and the time to touch operation. The player's opinion can be reflected in the management of the playground.

As described above, according to the gaming facility information collection system and the like of the present invention, the player can collect the impression that have for gaming machine 10, can be reflected in the game arcade management opinion of the player.
On the other hand, the performance data collected in the conventional game hall information system is suitable for evaluating the degree of contribution of each gaming machine in the game hall management from the manager's standpoint, but the data reflects the opinions of the players. It was not done, and it was a problem to become a biased evaluation.
According to the gaming hall information collection system of the present invention, since the player's opinion can be reflected in the gaming hall management by collecting the impression that the player holds with respect to the gaming machine, such conventional gaming hall information collection. All or some of the problems that the system should improve can be solved.

  For example, in the present embodiment, the information display device 100 may be an information display device (for example, an electric display device) installed outside the game hall as an information display device installed in the game hall. When such an outdoor information display device is used, it is possible to display the number of good impression information received in the entire game hall (the total number of “likes”). As a result, it is possible to appeal the number of good impression information received to a player who is outdoors, and this brings about an effect of attracting customers.

  In the present embodiment, the data stored in the totaling server 70 and the game hall server 80 are shared, but information that can identify the gaming machine by one server (collecting device), and good impression information for the gaming machine. It is also possible to store and manage all the number of receptions, the average value of the time until the touch operation, and the acquired game medium information.

Moreover, the same function as the counter 40 can be given to the pedestal machine 30, and the pedestal machine 30 can be operated as follows as an input device (first input device) according to the present invention.
For example, when a predetermined end operation (for example, an operation of an issue button) indicating the end of the game is performed in the intercom machine 30, the acquired game medium information stored at that time is recorded in the acquired information recording medium, The acquired information recording medium is issued, and a “Like” screen including the number of received good impression information received in the past on a predetermined display (for example, a liquid crystal display) is displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). )indicate. During this display, good impression information can be received, and when the good impression information is received from an input means such as a push button, information that can identify the gaming machine 10b installed, information with good impression information, and acquired games The media information is output directly or indirectly to a collection device such as the aggregation server 70 and the game hall server 80. On the other hand, if the good impression information is not received while the number of accepted good impression information is displayed, the information that can identify the gaming machine 10b provided side by side, the no good impression information, and the acquired game medium information are collected in the collection device. Output directly or indirectly. Thus, the inter-machine 30 can also operate as an input device.
In this case, information (such as a machine number) that can identify the gaming machine 10b that is attached to the inter-machine 30 can be stored in advance, so that it is necessary to input information that can identify the gaming machine 10b. Disappears.
In this example, a “Like” screen can be displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) before the acquired information recording medium is issued. That is, when the end operation is performed, a “Like” screen is displayed for a predetermined time, and when good impression information is received during that time, an acquired information recording medium is issued, and when good impression information is not received. The acquired information recording medium can be issued after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  In addition, in the counter 40, information (device number) that can identify the gaming machine is input via the remote controller 50. For example, the information is input via other input means such as the display unit 41 (touch panel). You can also.

In the present embodiment, the counter 40 and the prize exchange 60 are applied as input devices. However, any device including at least acquired game medium information storage means, good impression information reception means, and information output means may be used. It is not limited.
For example, a so-called enclosed game machine that can execute a game using a pseudo game medium in a data format without using a real game medium can be applied as the input device of the present invention.
Such an enclosed game machine normally stores acquired game medium information indicating the number of (pseudo) game media acquired as a result of the game. In addition, push buttons and touch operations that are permanently installed on this machine (enclosed game machine) or a stand-alone machine (communicable with an enclosed game machine, for example, can receive acquired game media information from an enclosed game machine) An input means such as a possible touch panel can also be used as the good impression information receiving means. In addition, information output means for directly or indirectly outputting good impression information and information that can identify the machine to a collection device such as the totaling server 70 can be provided in the machine or an inter-bed machine. The enclosed game machine having such a configuration can be operated as an input device as follows.

For example, when a predetermined end operation (for example, an operation of a checkout button) indicating the end of the game is performed, the acquired game medium information stored at that time is recorded on the acquired information recording medium, and the acquired information recording medium is stored in the acquired information recording medium. Issuing from this machine or a stand-alone machine, and the number of good impression information received in the past on a predetermined display (for example, a liquid crystal display provided in this machine or a stand-alone machine) The “Like!” Screen is displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). During this display, good impression information can be received, and when the good impression information is received from a push button, information that can identify the machine, information with good impression information, and acquired game media information are directly or indirectly sent to the collection device. To output automatically. On the other hand, if good impression information is not received while the number of received good impression information is displayed, information that can identify the machine, information that does not have good impression information, and acquired game media information are directly or indirectly sent to the collection device. Will be output. Thus, the enclosed game machine can also operate as an input device.
In this example, the “Like” screen can be displayed for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) before the acquired information recording medium is issued. That is, when the end operation is performed, a “Like” screen is displayed for a predetermined time, and when good impression information is received during that time, an acquired information recording medium is issued, and when good impression information is not received. The acquired information recording medium can be issued after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  The gaming machine 10 may be a gaming machine other than a pachinko machine such as a slot machine, and the inter-machine 30 and the counting machine 40 may be provided with a function of counting medals.
