The number (the number of balls stored on the day / the number of balls stored on the previous day) (by type) is also displayed. The number of balls stored on the day is the number of balls stored on the day, and the number of balls stored on the previous day is the number of balls stored up to the previous day. After the end of business, the number of balls stored on the day is added to the number of balls stored on the previous day and stored. In response to a (payout operation) on the payout button 25 by the player, the ball is paid out from the payout nozzle 26 within the range of the number of held balls or the number of stored balls (first regame process), and the number of held balls or stored balls Update the number.

(7) A game value of a type different from its own type can be entered, and in this embodiment, it is possible to enter between a 1-yen pachinko machine and a 4-yen pachinko machine. In other words, it is possible to use a 1-yen pachinko machine with its own holding balls and storage balls on a 4-yen pachinko machine, while a 1-yen pachinko machine can be used with a 4-yen pachinko machine holding and storing balls. Yes (second replay process). In this case, when the membership card 10 is inserted, both the holding ball and the storage ball are subject to entry, and in the case of the general card 9, since there is no storage ball, only the possession ball is subject to entry.
(8) A command is received from the employee remote controller 27, and various processes (error cancellation, etc.) corresponding to the command content are executed. When a break start signal is received from the employee remote controller 27, a break start signal is sent to the management device 5. When a break end signal is received, a break end signal is transmitted.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
When the player inserts banknotes into the counting / lending unit 2, the counting / lending unit 2 stores the amount of the inserted banknotes and displays the lending frequency (in units of 1) on the liquid crystal display unit 24. The balls of the same number are automatically paid out from the payout mechanism inside the gaming machine 1. Then, when the player further depresses the lending button 31 of the gaming machine 1 in order to receive the lending of the ball, a lending process of paying out the ball from the lending mechanism inside the gaming machine 1 one by one according to the operation on the lending button 31 Execute. On the other hand, when the member has a storage ball equal to or greater than the payout unit of the gaming machine 1, a payout process of paying out a ball for one payout unit from the payout nozzle 26 by an operation on the payout button 25 is executed.

  When counting the balls acquired by the player with the gaming machine 1, the balls are dropped from the lower tray 18 of the gaming machine 1. The dropped balls are received by the counting tray 30 of the counting lending unit 2 and flow into the counting lending unit 2 and are counted by the counting unit 40. When the counting lending unit 2 counts balls by the counting unit 40, the counting lending unit 2 displays the number of counting balls as the number of balls on the liquid crystal display unit 24. When the payout operation of the holding ball is performed by the payout button 25, balls for several times within the range of the number of balls are paid out to the gaming machine 1 from the payout nozzle 26 and the holding time displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 24. The number of balls is updated. When the number of balls is less than one, all the numbers of balls are paid out.

  When the player operates the return button 32 of the gaming machine 1, the player issues a general card 9 in which the deposit balance and the number of balls at that time are recorded. When the member card 10 is inserted into the card insertion slot 29, only the deposit balance is recorded and issued to the member card 10, and the number of possessed balls is stored in the member account of the management device 5. Then, by inserting the issued cards 9 and 10 into the destination counting and lending unit 2, the deposit balance and the number of possessed balls / the number of accumulated balls recorded in the cards 9 and 10 (in the case of the membership card 10, the management device) 5) is displayed, and it is possible to play a ball by lending or returning a ball within the range. When the game is over, information can be recorded and returned (issued) on the cards 9 and 10 side by operating the return button 32 provided on the gaming machine 1.

  Now, when a player performs a boarding operation (an operation that uses other types of holding balls / storing balls (members only) for replaying), for example, a 4-yen pachinko machine will be used to enter a 1-yen pachinko ball holding / storing ball. When using a 1-yen pachinko machine or putting a 4-yen pachinko ball holding ball or storage ball into use, the general card 9 or the membership card 10 is inserted into the card insertion slot 29.

The counting / lending unit 2 obtains the deposit balance and the holding / storing balls (stored in the management device 5 in the case of the membership card 10) from the inserted cards 9 and 10, and displays them on the liquid crystal display unit 24.
FIG. 7 shows a screen display example of the liquid crystal display unit 24. The liquid crystal display unit 24 includes a type (unit price) / unit granted number 24a, a type (member / general) 24b of the cards 9 and 10 being inserted, and the number of savings for each type (limited to members and not displayed on the general card 9) 24c. The guidance display 24d, the entry operation button 24e, the deposit balance 24f, and the number of balls 24g are displayed. In this case, the deposit balance on the cards 9 and 10 side and the number of possessed balls / the number of stored balls are in the state of shifting to the counting / lending unit 2, and the card information is reset. In addition, when the general card 9 in which other types of possessed balls are recorded is inserted, the number of retained balls of other types is displayed for each type in the number of savings 24c.

  When the player touches the entry operation button 24e, the counting and lending unit 2 selects the type of entry (4 yen pachinko ball for 1 yen pachinko machine, 1 yen pachinko ball for 4 yen pachinko machine), and boarding It calculates and displays the number of possessed balls and the number of stored balls obtained by multiplying the ratio of the unit price with the number of possessed balls and the number of stored balls. In this embodiment, since the player is playing with a 1-yen pachinko machine, the 4-yen pachinko ball is the type of entry, and as shown in FIG. 8, the guidance display 24d has a 4-yen pachinko ball ( “Yes”, a message indicating that 3456 4 yen pachinko balls will be converted into 13824 1 yen pachinko balls after entering the 1 yen pachinko ball (incoming destination) A button 24d1 and a “No” button 24d2 are displayed. In addition, when the general operation card 9 in which another type of possession is recorded is inserted and the entry operation button 24e is touched, a message indicating whether another type of possession is to be entered is displayed.

  When the player touches the “Yes” button 24d1, the guidance display 24d displays a message indicating the number of possessed balls obtained by adding the converted number of balls to the destination and the number of possessed balls, and an “OK” button 24d3. . The example shown in FIG. 8 shows that the number of balls converted from 3456 4 yen pachinko balls to 1 yen pachinko balls is 13824 balls. In this case, since the number of balls before boarding is 123 balls, the total number of balls is 13947 balls. When the player touches the “OK” button 24d3, the total number of balls is set as the number of balls. If a boarding operation is performed with the membership card 10 inserted, the user is requested to enter a preset password and the boarding process is executed on condition that the password is authenticated. You may make it do.

  When the player performs a touch operation on the payout button 25, the counting lending unit 2 pays out the balls of the payout unit number within the range of the holding balls according to the touch operation of the payout button 25 as usual. Thereby, the player can enter and play a game using the number of balls of the type of the boarding player as a ball.

  Now, when a player plays a boarding game, he may like the gaming machine 1 of the boarding type rather than the gaming machine 1 of the boarding destination. A game is played with the original type of gaming machine 1. However, in the case of saving the possession ball at the end of the game in the destination account, if the player returns to the gaming machine 1 of the type of entry at the next visit, the entrance operation is performed again to・ It was troublesome because it was necessary to return the storage ball from the type of entry to the type of entry.

  Therefore, when the player finishes the boarding game, the counting / lending unit 2 can select whether to return the possessed ball acquired by the boarding game to the boarding account or to the boarding account. It is configured. For example, if you enter and play a 4-yen pachinko ball with a 1-yen pachinko machine, and you have 1000 1-yen pachinko ball holding balls at the end of your entry game, select one of the following: It is possible.

(1) Memorize as 1000 yen 1-ball pachinko balls (destination account)
(2) 4 yen pachinko balls with 250 balls (remember account)
If the player likes the 1-yen pachinko machine as a result of the game and wants to play with the 1-yen pachinko machine at the next visit, selecting (1) can save the trouble of the next boarding operation. it can. If you like a 4-yen pachinko machine and want to play with a 4-yen pachinko machine next time, you can save time and effort for the next boarding operation by selecting (2).

FIG. 6 shows a screen display example of the guidance display 24d of the liquid crystal display unit 24 at the end of the game (when the return button 32 is ON). The guidance display 24d displays a message prompting the user to select an account, a “4 yen” button 24d4 (unit price selection means), and a “1 yen” button 24d5 (unit price selection means). When the player touches the “4 yen” button 24d4 in order to return the possession balls to the entry source, the number of possession balls (2510) obtained by multiplying the number of possession balls (10240 balls) by the ratio of the unit price with the entry source. Ball) (savings calculation processing) and save it in a 4-yen pachinko account. On the other hand, when the player touches the “1 Yen” button 24d5 to store the ball as it is, the number of held balls is directly stored in the 1-yen pachinko account.
As described above, when the player finishes the boarding game, the player selects whether to return the possessed ball acquired by the boarding game to the boarding account or to the boarding account. Can do.

By the way, how much of the player is performing a boarding game when the player performs a boarding operation, and what kind of influence is exerted on the subsequent game taste when the boarding game is played It is important for management to objectively understand and analyze whether or not.
For these reasons, the management device 5 manages the data of each vehicle shown in FIG. 4 and the member data shown in FIG. 5, and also aggregates the model-specific average data shown in FIG. 6 based on the data of each vehicle in FIG. From FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, it can be analyzed as follows.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, when the number of boarding is compared, the number of boarding of the player with the member ID: 0003 is particularly large, so that the player likes to board and play the same type of gaming machine. On the other hand, since the number of times the player with the member ID: 00002 has entered the game is 0, it is understood that the player does not like the game of entering the same type of gaming machine at all.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, when the number of self-loans, the number of other loans, and the boarding ratio are compared, the number of other cars and the boarding ratio of model aaaaaa are particularly high. On the other hand, the number of loans and boarding ratios other than the model ccccc are particularly low, so the gaming machine is not preferred as a boarding game for the same type. I understand.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be produced.
The management device 5 determines the number of self-lending used in normal replay (replay), the number of other loans used in replaying (incoming games) by boarding, and the boarding ratio that is a ratio thereof. Since each game is managed for each model, it is possible to easily grasp and analyze for each model how much the player uses the entry game.

  When a player who has entered a boarding game then plays a game on another gaming machine, if the unit price of that other gaming machine matches the unit price of the gaming machine that entered the boarding game first, The number of transfers was incremented on the assumption that the player liked the game at that unit price, so by analyzing the number of transfers, how the player's preferences changed by performing the transfer game It becomes possible to analyze.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
As member data, separately from the number of transfers, the case where the type of the gaming machine that played first on the day does not match the final type may be counted as the “number of non-transfers”. In this case, the number of transfers / (number of transfers + number of transfers) may be calculated as the “transfer rate”. The transfer rate indicates the rate at which a player who has entered a boarding game has selected a gaming machine as a boarding destination in a game on or after the next day.

  The number of transfers is incremented when the final type matches the type of the first gaming machine on or after the next day, but the type of the previous gaming machine moved after the boarding game on the same day matches the final type. In some cases, it may be incremented. For example, after a boarding game is performed with the 1-yen pachinko number 1 and then moved to the second 1-yen pachinko machine, the number of transfers may be incremented on the assumption that it is a transfer.

  As the types, two types of pachinko with a lending unit price of 4 yen and 1 yen of pachinko were illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any number of various types can be set. For example, a pachislot with a medal lending unit price of 20 yen or a 5 yen pachislot may be provided. In other words, the present invention is not limited to pachinko machines but may be other gaming machines such as slot machines, and can be applied to a game arcade where at least two types are set.

The arithmetic expression at the time of boarding is an example, and is not limited to this. For example, the number of balls corresponding to a predetermined ratio of the number of balls that have entered may be subtracted as a fee for the entry processing.
At the time of renting out the game medium, the game medium is paid out from the payout mechanism inside the gaming machine. However, the game medium may be paid out from the payout mechanism provided in the counting lending unit 2 via the payout nozzle 26.
The form of the recording medium is not limited to the card, and may be any form such as a coin shape.
It is also possible to presuppose an enclosed game machine that gives points instead of paying out game media when a winning occurs.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 2 is a counting lending unit (acquired gaming value storage means, first regame means, second regame means, output means), and 5 is a management device (player identification means, determination means, counting means). Means for outputting the number of transfers).
