Description

  The present invention relates to a member game medium management system for managing, for example, pachinko balls or slot machine medals set in a hall. In addition, prizes can be exchanged so that the operating rate of the store can be improved.

Traditionally, generally, if you have a ball on the day, you can continue to play without a replay limit, but members will not continue to play due to the replay limit when they move to a savings ball. Since there are many cases, it is beneficial for the member to continue playing by saving money replay.
Conventionally, a storage game system that manages the number of game media deposited by a player who became a member as the number of stored balls, and stores the number of stored balls for each member with at least the number of game media deposited on the day as the day division When a storage means and a game medium deposit instruction are accepted, it is determined whether or not the total value of the number of stored balls and the number of game media to be deposited stored in the stored ball storage means is greater than a preset upper limit number of stored balls And a predetermined game medium based on the number of stored balls associated with the non-current day section and the current day section in that order when the determination means determines that the total value exceeds the upper limit number of stored balls. There is known a storage game system including a recording medium association means for associating a number with a predetermined recording medium (for example, paragraph number “001” in Patent Document 1). "Reference).
As the above “association with recording medium”, each device has returned the member card by associating the number of stored balls in the stored ball account up to the upper limit of the number of stored balls with the member card (for example, paragraph number “0104” of Patent Document 1). And FIG. 9).

(Explanation of schematic block diagram of system management server 51 using FIG. 5)
A schematic block diagram of the system management server 51 will be described with reference to FIG.
Although not shown, the system management server 51 (Hallcon main body) is configured by a computer including a CPU and an external storage device such as a ROM, a RAM, an I / O port, and an HD.
The system management server 51 functions as the following various means when the CPU reads various programs and data stored in the ROM, HD, and the like.
The following means (1) to (9) will be described later.

(1) Same day storage means 300
(2) Cumulative storage means 310
(3) Re-game processing means 320
(4) Re-game setting means 330
(5) Upper limit number setting means 340
(6) Additional management means 350
(7) Replay processing restriction means 360
(8) Premium exchange management means 370
(9) Mutual entry management means 380
In addition, although (1)-(9) mentioned above was illustrated as a means of the system management server 51, it is not limited to this.

(Same-day memory means 300)
The same day storage means 300 stores the number of game media (pachinko balls) deposited on the day of the member as the number of reserved days.
Although the “pachinko ball” is exemplified as the number of game media, it is not limited to this and may be a “medal”.

In addition, the current day storage means 300 manages by writing only the current day storage number into a flat file.
Here, “flat file” refers to a set of tabular data in which data is arranged vertically and horizontally and recorded in a simple text file with symbol characters and control characters as delimiters. "Flat file" is a generic term for file formats that enumerate data by separating them with commas (,), spaces (blank characters), tab characters, etc., and ending the column with a newline character, etc. “CSV” (abbreviation of “Camma Separated Value”) format and tab-separated ones include “TSV” (abbreviation of “Tab Separated Value”) format.
The current day storage means 300 has the above-described configuration, thereby providing the following operational effects.
That is, by managing only the number of storages for the day written in a flat file, the burden on the memory can be reduced.

Furthermore, the day storage means 300 uses the stored number of stored days to guarantee to the player the number of stored that day only on the day when the number of stored that day is stored, and at the time of daily update The number of storages corresponding to that day is deleted from the storage means 300 for that day.
Here, “guaranteed” means that the stored number of stored items for the current day can be used as is, and even if the cumulative stored number disappears by mistake, the stored number for the non-date is read from the past data. In other words, the cumulative storage number can be easily reconstructed by accumulating the number of storages for the day stored separately from the cumulative storage number.
The current day storage means 300 has the above-described configuration, thereby providing the following operational effects.
In other words, it is possible not only to guarantee the amount of storage for the day by storing the number of storage for the day separately from the cumulative number of storage, but also to update the daily by deleting the number of storage for the day Time processing can be performed easily and quickly, and the burden on the memory can be reduced.

On the other hand, in the case where “mutual transfer” is possible, the current day storage means 300 can store the number of game media deposited by the member on the current day as the number of stored games for that day.
In addition, in the case where “mutual entry” is possible, the current day storage unit 300 deletes or clears the stored number of stored items for that day when “entry” is executed. Specifically, the current day storage unit 300 deletes or clears the number of stored items for the current day based on a command from a mutual entry management unit 380 described later.
The current day storage means 300 has the above-described configuration, thereby providing the following operational effects.
That is, when the entry is executed, by deleting or clearing the stored number of stored days, the structure and processing of the system can be simplified, and the burden on the system can be reduced.

(Cumulative storage means 310)
The accumulating storage means 310 accumulates the number of non-current storages and the number of storages for the current day as the number of non-current storages for the number of game media deposited before the member's date, and stores it as the cumulative storage number.

(Replay processing means 320)
The re-game processing means 320 extracts the replay usage number from the cumulative storage number stored in the cumulative storage means 310 so that the member plays a game.

(Replay setting means 330)
The re-game setting means 330 is configured to set whether or not to include the current day storage number in the replay upper limit number when the current day storage number is withdrawn for game or prize exchange.
The replay setting means 330 has the above-described configuration, thereby providing the following operational effects.
That is, it can be arbitrarily set whether or not to be included in the replay upper limit when the number of storages for the day is withdrawn.

(Upper limit number setting means 340)
The upper limit number setting means 340 can set the upper limit of the number of replays that can be withdrawn per day as the replay upper limit number (for example, 2,500 pachinko / day).
In addition, although the number of pachinko balls that can be withdrawn per day is exemplified as “2,500 pieces / day” as the maximum number of replays, it is not limited to this, and the number of “medals” may be used, or “amount” Good.

In the case of the above “amount”, for example, when the upper limit is 10,000 yen, in the case of a rented rate of “4 yen / ball”, when converted to the number of pachinko balls, “2,500 pieces / day” (10,000 yen ÷ 4 yen = 2,500). In the case of a rental rate of “2 yen / ball”, when converted to the number of pachinko balls, it is “5,000 / day” (10,000 yen ÷ 2 yen = 5,000 pieces).
On the other hand, the upper limit number setting means 340 can set an upper limit number of replays (for example, 2,500 pachinko / day) for each of a plurality of types of game media when “mutual placement” is possible.
By providing the above configuration, the upper limit number setting means 340 has the following operational effects.
That is, when mutual entry is possible, the replay upper limit number can be set individually for each of the plurality of types of game media.

(Addition management means 350)
The addition management means 350 adds the number of storages for the day to the replay upper limit number (for example, 2,500 pachinko / day) and manages it as an “upper limit number”.

(Replay processing restriction means 360)
When the replay processing means 320 derives the number of replays to be used from the accumulated storage number by the replay processing means 320, the replay processing restriction means 360 replays by the regame processing means 320 when the upper limit number managed by the addition management means 350 is exceeded. This limits the withdrawal of the number of uses.
Here, as “restricting withdrawal”, the fact is displayed on the game medium lending device 30, and the lending operation by the game medium lending device 30 thereafter is invalidated. Note that although the lending operation by the game medium lending device 30 is invalidated as “restriction of withdrawal”, the present invention is not limited to this, and the member information storage medium 40 may be discharged from the game medium lending device 30.

The replay processing restriction unit 360 has the above-described configuration, thereby providing the following operational effects.
First, when the number of members stored on the day and the number of members stored on the non-day are accumulated and stored and managed without distinction, the structure and processing of the system can be simplified and the burden on the system can be reduced. Can be reduced.
Secondly, when the number of members stored on the day and the number of non-day storage are accumulated and managed without distinction, the daily number of storages for the current day is stored in the daily update. The risk of damage to the player's savings compensation for the day can be avoided due to the occurrence of troubles at that time and the failure of the transfer to the non-day division due to the occurrence of troubles at that time. .

Specifically, the replay processing restriction means 360 is a setting in the replay setting means 330 that includes the number of storages for the current day in the replay upper limit number, and the replay upper limit number (for example, pachinko machine set in the upper limit number setting means 340). When the number exceeds 2,500 / day, the replay processing means 320 limits the withdrawal of the number of replays used, and the number of storages for the day is not included in the replay upper limit number, and is managed by the addition management means 350 When the additional upper limit number (for example, 2,500 pachinko / day) is exceeded, the replay usage number 320 by the replay processing means 320 is limited.
On the other hand, the re-game processing restriction means 360 is re-played when the re-game setting means 330 exceeds the upper limit number managed by the upper management means 350 in the setting not included in the upper limit number of replays. The withdrawal of the replay usage number by the processing means 320 is limited.

Further, the re-game processing restriction means 360 exceeds the upper limit number of additions managed by the addition management means 350 when the re-game processing means 320 or the premium exchange management means 370 described later derives the replay usage number from the accumulated storage number. In this case, the replay usage means 320 or the prize exchange management means 370 restricts the withdrawal of the replay usage number.
The replay processing restriction unit 360 has the above-described configuration, thereby providing the following operational effects.
In other words, in addition to replays, even when a prize exchange occurs, the structure of the system is stored and managed without distinguishing between the number of members stored for the day and the number of members stored for the day. And processing can be simplified, and the burden on the system can be reduced.

On the other hand, the replay setting means 330 is configured so that the number of replays used is not included in the replay upper limit number when “entry” is executed when “mutual entry” is possible.
In other words, if the replay usage number is set to be included in the replay upper limit number before execution of “entry”, the replay setting means 330 includes the replay upper limit number after execution of “entry”. Change the setting so that it is not included in the maximum number of replays.
The replay setting means 330 has the above-described configuration, thereby providing the following operational effects.
In other words, even when a plurality of types of game media having different stored values can be put into each other, they can be applied as they are without complicated settings.

(Premium exchange management means 370)
The prize exchange management means 370 derives the number of reward prize exchanges corresponding to the prize at the time of prize exchange from the accumulated storage number stored in the accumulation storage means 310.

In addition, when the prize exchange management means 370 derives the prize exchange number from the accumulated storage number, the prize exchange number to be withdrawn is less than the accumulated storage number stored in the accumulation storage means 310, and the prize exchange number is accumulated. When the number of stored items exceeds the number of stored items on the non-current day, an amount equivalent to the number of prize exchanges exceeding the number of stored items on the non-current day is subtracted from the stored number of stored items on the same day.
The prize exchange management means 370 has the above-described configuration, thereby providing the following operational effects.
In other words, by preferentially drawing out the number of prize exchanges that occurred at the time of prize exchange from the number of non-day storage, the decrease in the number of storage for that day is minimized, thereby preventing an increase in the upper limit and increasing the player's profit. It can be maintained as much as possible.

At this time, the surrender management means 350 adds the subtracted number of stored days on the current day to the replay upper limit number (for example, 2,500 pachinko / day) when the member replays after the prize exchange.
The upper management means 350 has the following configuration and effects as follows.
In other words, when the member replays after the prize exchange, the player's profit can be maintained as much as possible at the time of the prize exchange by adding the subtracted number of reserved days to the replay upper limit number.

On the other hand, in the replay of the member after the prize exchange, the current day storage means 300 adds the increased current day storage number to the already stored current day storage number when the current day storage number increases. To remember.
Further, the surrender management means 350 adds the number of stored days after addition stored in the current day storage means 300 to the upper limit number of replays (for example, 2,500 pachinko / day).
The upper management means 350 has the following configuration and effects as follows.
That is, in the replay of the member after the prize exchange, when the number of stored for the day increases, the increased number of stored for the day can increase the maximum number of replays, so that at the time of the prize exchange, the player The profit can be expanded.

(Mutual entry management means 380)
The mutual entry management means 380 manages whether or not mutual entry is possible, conversion of the rental route at the time of mutual entry execution, increase / decrease, elimination, or clearing of the number of storages and cumulative number of storages for each rental route at the time of mutual entry execution. It is.
Here, “mutual placement” means that the game media have a plurality of types of values, and a plurality of types of game media having different stored values can be put into each other.

Here, “increase / decrease in the number of storages for the day and the number of cumulative storages” is executed by rewriting the number of storages for the current day stored in the storage unit 300 for the current day or the cumulative number of storages stored in the cumulative storage unit 310 To do.
Here, “erasing or clearing” corresponds to the case of deleting or clearing the number of storages for the current day stored in the current day storage means 300 when “entry” is executed.

(Description of an example of the flow of management of game media using the member game media management system 10 using FIGS. 6 to 11)
An example of the flow of management of game media using the member game media management system 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Description of the state when the membership card is inserted using FIG. 6A)
The state at the time of insertion of the member card which is the member information storage medium 40 is demonstrated using Fig.6 (a).
When the player who is a member inserts the member information storage medium 40 (member card) into the game medium lending device 30 (ball lending machine) as shown in FIG. 4, the game medium management device 50 (hall) shown in FIG. 5), the accumulated storage means 310 (DB) shown in FIG. 5 is read with the number of non-current storages, and “5,000” is stored as the accumulated number of storages.
Of “(DB)”, “DB” is an abbreviation for database.

Specifically, the authentication of the membership card is executed by the membership information management server of the game medium management device 50 (Hallcon). The reading of the number of non-daily storages is executed by the system management server 51 (Hallcon main body) and the possession information management server 53 of the game medium management device 50 (Hallcon).
In the upper limit number setting means 340 shown in FIG. 6A, for example, “2,500” is set as the replay upper limit number.
Further, in the current day storage means 300 (flat file), for example, “0” is stored as the current day storage number.

(Description of the state when the replay usage number is withdrawn using FIG. 6B)
With reference to FIG. 6B, the state when the replay usage number is reduced will be described.
In the gaming machine 20 (pachinko machine) shown in FIG. 2, when the number of replays used, for example, “1,000” is inserted from the number of accumulated storage, for example, “5,000”, the cumulative number of storage becomes “5,000”. To "4,000" (5,000-1,000 = 4,000).
At this time, the remaining maximum number of replays is reduced from "2,500" to "1,500" (2,500-1,000 = 1,500).
The above processing is executed by the re-game processing means 320 shown in FIG.

(Description of the state where the number of stored on the day using FIG. 7)
With reference to FIG. 7, a state where the number of stored on the day has occurred will be described. (A) of the figure is a case where the number of storages for the current day is not included in the replay usage number, and (b) of the figure is a case where the number of storages for the day is included in the replay usage number.
The above setting is executed by the re-game setting means 330 shown in FIG.

(Explanation in the case of setting that does not include the number of storages for the day using the number of replays using FIG. 7A)
A player who is a member brings, for example, “1,600” award balls from the gaming machine 20 (pachinko machine) to the game media counter 91 (jet counter) shown in FIG. . For example, when the number of stored counts is “1,600”, “1,600” is stored in the current day storage means 300 (flat file) as the number of stored for the current day. Yes.
The above processing is executed by the system management server 51 (hall control main body) shown in FIG.

At the same time, the cumulative storage number increases from “4,000” for the non-day storage to “5,600” (4,000 + 1,600 = 5,600) by adding “1,600” for the current day storage. The breakdown of the cumulative storage number is “1,600” for the current day and “4,000” for the non-current day.
At this time, the additional upper limit number is increased to “3,100” replays (1,500 + 1,600 = 3,100).
The increase is executed by the addition management means 350 shown in FIG. 5, and is managed as the “upper limit number”.

(Explanation in the case of setting including the number of storages for the day using the replay usage number using FIG. 7B)
In the case of FIG. 7B, as in the case of FIG. 7A, the number of storages for the day is “1,600”, and the cumulative number of storages is also “5,600”.
At this time, since the number of storages for the current day is included in the number of used replays, the remaining replay upper limit number does not change and remains “1,500”.

(Explanation when adopting mutual storage with the ball using FIG. 8)
With reference to FIG. 8, the case where the storage ball mutual entry is adopted will be described.
The mutual entry of the storage balls is managed by the mutual entry management means 380 shown in FIG.
Here, two types of loan rates, for example, a route A of “4.0 yen / 1 ball” and a route B of “2.0 yen / 1 ball” will be described as an example.

  The game state of the same player who is a member, (a) in the figure is the game state in the pachinko machine (game machine 20) to which the route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”) is applied. This is a gaming state in a pachinko machine (game machine 20) to which the route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”) using FIG.

(Description of gaming state in a pachinko machine to which route A is applied using FIG. 8A)
The number of items stored on the day is individually stored in the day storage unit 300 (flat file) for each loan rate. In the route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”), the number of stored for the day is “1,600,” for example, and in the route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”), the number of stored for the day is, for example, “ 0 ”.
The accumulated storage number is also individually stored in the accumulation storage means 310 (DB) for each loan rate.

In route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”), the cumulative number of storage is, for example, “5,600”. The breakdown of the cumulative storage number is “1,600” for the current day and “4,000” for the non-current day.
At this time, the replay upper limit number is “3,100”.

In addition, the numerical value of the accumulated storage number and the replay upper limit number in the route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”) is a numerical value in the case where the number of storages for the day using FIG. It was used.
In route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”), the replay upper limit number is, for example, “2,500”, and the accumulated storage number is, for example, “1,500”. The breakdown of the accumulated storage number is, for example, “0” for the number of storages on the current day, and “1,500” for the number of non-current storages, for example.

(Description of gaming state in a pachinko machine to which route B is applied using FIG. 8B)
FIG. 8B shows that a player who is a member moves from a pachinko machine (game machine 20) to which route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”) is applied to route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”). This is a gaming state when moving to a pachinko machine (gaming machine 20) to which is applied.

(Description of the state when the replay usage number is reduced using FIG. 9)
The state when the replay usage number is withdrawn will be described with reference to FIG.
In the gaming machine 20 (pachinko machine) to which the route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”) is applied, it is the number of replays used from “1,500” which is the cumulative number of storages shown in FIG. For example, when “1,500” is input, the accumulated storage number decreases from “1,500” to “0” (1,500—1,500 = 0) as shown in FIG.

At this time, the remaining number of replays is reduced from “2,500” to “1,000” (2,500-1,500 = 1,000).
The above reduction is executed by the re-game processing means 320 shown in FIG.
At this time, the accumulated storage number and the upper limit number in Route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”) do not change.

(Description of the state at the time of boarding using FIG. 10)
The state at the time of boarding is demonstrated using FIG.
The “entry” is managed by the mutual entry management means 380 shown in FIG.
In the gaming machine 20 (pachinko machine) to which the route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”) is applied, among the “5,600” which is the accumulated storage number in the route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”), “ If 500 units are entered, the cumulative number of storage in Route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”) will increase from “0” to “1,000” (500 × 2 = 1,000).

At this time, the cumulative number of storage in route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”) decreases from “5,600” to “5,100” (5,600− (1,000 / 2) = 5,100).
The “increase” and “decrease” are executed by the mutual entry management means 380 shown in FIG.
At the same time, “1,600” shown in FIG. 9 is deleted or cleared in the route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”) as the number of stored for the day stored in the day storage means 300 (flat file). As shown in FIG. 10, the number is changed from “1,600” to “0” shown in FIG. In the route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”), as shown in FIG. 10, “0” shown in FIG. 9 is maintained.

The process of “erasing or clearing” is executed by the mutual entry management means 380 shown in FIG. This process is for simplifying the subsequent processes.
On the other hand, the replay setting means 330 shown in FIG. 5 changes from the setting included in the replay upper limit number to the setting not included in the replay upper limit number after the execution of “entry”.
It should be noted that the replay upper limit number remaining in route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”) and the additional upper limit number in route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”) do not change.

(Explanation of the state when exchanging prizes or using the wagon service using FIG. 11)
The state at the time of prize exchange or the use of a wagon service will be described with reference to FIG.
The processing at the time of the gift exchange or use of the wagon service is managed by the gift exchange management means 370 shown in FIG.

(Explanation of the state at the time of gift exchange or use of the wagon service using FIG. 11 (a))
With reference to FIG. 11A, a state in which the number of prize exchanges has occurred during prize exchange or use of a wagon service will be described.
When a player who is a member executes a free gift exchange or a wagon service and, as a result, for example, "4,500" is generated as the number of free gift exchanges due to free gift exchange, the following processing occurs.
In addition, it demonstrates on the assumption that the storage number for the day and the accumulation storage number memorize | stored in the storage part 300 (flat file) for the day shown to Fig.7 (a).

Cumulative storage will decrease from "5,600" to "1,100" (5,600-4,500 = 1,100).
As shown in FIG. 7 (a), the accumulated number of non-day storages was “4,000”, so that the number of non-current storages is “4,500”, which is the number of prize exchanges. Over. For this reason, out of “4,500”, “4,000” is withdrawn from “4,000” which is the number of non-daily storage. As a result, the number of non-day storage after withdrawal is “0” (4,000-4,000 = 0).
The above processing is executed by the gift exchange management means 370 shown in FIG.

As shown in Fig. 7 (a), among the cumulative number of storages, the number of storages for the day was "1,600", so the remaining "500" out of "4,500" as the number of prize exchanges , Will be withdrawn from "1,600" that is the number of storage for the day. As a result, the number of stored items on the day after the withdrawal decreases from “1,600” shown in FIG. 7A to “1,100” (1,600−500 = 1,100).
For this reason, the replay upper limit number also decreases from “1,600” shown in FIG. 7A to “1,100” (1,600−500 = 1,100).
The above processing is executed by the gift exchange management means 370 shown in FIG.
On the other hand, the number of storages for the current day stored in the current day storage means 300 (flat file) decreases from “1,600” to “1,100” (1,600−500 = 1,100).

(Description of the state where the number of stored on the day using FIG. 11B)
With reference to FIG. 11 (b), a state in which the number of stored items on the day has occurred after exchanging the premium or using the wagon service shown in FIG. 11 (a) will be described.
A player who is a member continues to play with a gaming machine 20 (pachinko machine) after exchanging prizes or using a wagon service, and for example, among the award balls paid out in the gaming machine 20, for example, “1,300” Bring it to the game media counter 91 (jet counter) shown in FIG. For example, if the number of storages at this time is “1,300”, the total number of “2,400” (1,100 + 1,300 = 2,400) will be stored for the day 300 (flat file). Is stored as the number of stored days.
The above processing is executed by the system management server 51 (hall control main body) shown in FIG.

At the same time, the accumulated storage number increases from “1,100” shown in FIG. 11A to “2,400”. The breakdown of the cumulative number of storages is “2,400” in total for the current day (1,100 + 1,300 = 2,400), and “0” for the non-current storage.
At this time, the additional upper limit number increases from “1,100” shown in FIG. 11A to “2,400” (1,100 + 1,300 = 2,400).
The increase is executed by the addition management means 350 shown in FIG.

(Description of Second Embodiment Using FIG. 12)
Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
This embodiment shows another example at the time of entering described with reference to FIG.
In the present embodiment, when the entry is executed, the upper management means 350 shown in FIG. 5 has a replay upper limit number (for example, pachinko 2,500) when the number of storages for that day is stored in the entry source. It functions to add the number of storages on the current day of the entry source corresponding to the value after entry.

In the description of FIG. 12, it is assumed that the replay usage number shown in FIG.
Of gaming machines 20 (pachinko machines) to which Route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”) is applied, the day of the “5,600” that is the cumulative number of storage in Route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”) If you enter all the “1,600”, the “1,600”, the cumulative number of storage in Route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”) will be from “0” to “3,200” (1,600 × 2) = 3,200).
The “increase” is executed by the mutual entry management means 380 shown in FIG.

In addition, since the total number of “3,200”, which is the cumulative number of storages, is the number of storages for the day, the upper limit number of additions is “1,000” to “4,200” (1,000 + (1,600 × 2) shown in FIG. = 4,200).
The above “increase” is executed by the addition management means 350 shown in FIG. 5 and is changed from “replay upper limit number” to “addition upper limit number” and managed as “addition upper limit number”.

At this time, the cumulative number of storage in route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”) decreases from “5,600” shown in FIG. 9 to “5,100” (5,600-1,600 = 4,000).
In addition, since the total number of additional storage of “4,000” is the number of non-current storage, the additional upper limit is from “3,100” to “1,500” (1,000-1,600 = 1,500) as shown in FIG. ).

On the other hand, the number of storages for the day stored in the storage unit 300 (flat file) for the day is “1,600” for the route A (“4.0 yen / 1 ball”) as shown in FIG. Decreases to "0". In route B (“2.0 yen / 1 ball”), the number of storages for the day increases from “0” shown in FIG. 9 to “3,200”.
At this time, the replay setting means 330 shown in FIG. 5 maintains a setting that is not included in the replay upper limit number. That is, the re-game setting means 330 does not execute the process of changing from the setting included in the replay upper limit number to the setting not included in the replay upper limit number after executing “entry”.

According to the present embodiment, when entry is executed, if the number of storages for the day is stored in the entry source, the day of entry of the entry corresponding to the value after entry in the upper limit number of replays at the entry destination By adding the number of minutes stored, it is possible to use the number of days stored at the place of entry at the place of entry.
As a result, in the present embodiment, the number of storages for the day of entry can be added to the upper limit number of replays at the place of entry in the execution of entry, so that the number of storages for the day is advantageously utilized for the player side. There are advantages that can be made.
