  The card ID 16 a is a card ID read by the reader / writer 14. When a card is transported from the card insertion slot 14a to a card storage unit (not shown), the card ID 16a is updated by the card ID read by the reader / writer 14 during the transport. If payment is made without a card inserted, the card is transported from the card storage unit (not shown) to the reader / writer 14, and the card ID 16a is updated with the card ID read by the reader / writer 14. In the present embodiment, when the card is not inserted, the card is transported from the card storage unit (not shown) to the reader / writer 14, and the card ID 16 a is updated by the card ID read by the reader / writer 14. However, it is not limited to this. When the card is finally discharged, the card at the top of the card storage unit (not shown) is transported to the reader / writer 14, and the card ID is read and stored, whereby the card is inserted by the gaming guest. When the money is received in a non-state, the card ID 16a may be updated with the stored card ID.

  The valuable value data 16 b is data indicating a valuable value that can be used to receive the payout of the game balls. The valuable value includes the balance of the prepaid value available for ball lending, the balance of the gaming media account, the secret code number for replaying the storage ball, and the balance of the storage media account.

  The device ID 16c is identification information for uniquely identifying the inter-room card processing machine 10 in the game arcade. The game setting data 16 d is data indicating a game type and the like set in the inter-room card processor 10. When dealing with gaming balls of a plurality of rates in the game arcade, "ball 4 yen" for 4 yen rate game balls, "ball 2 yen" for 2 yen rate game balls, and 1 yen rate game balls "ball The game type name is set and managed for each game type like "1 yen". Therefore, the inter-stage card processor 10 installed in the 4-yen section stores "ball 4 yen" as the game setting data 16d, and the inter-stage card processor 10 installed in the 1-yen section stores the game setting data 16d. "Ball 1 yen" will be stored.

  The replay parameter 16e is data notified from the member management apparatus 50 when the member causes the reader / writer 14 to read the membership card, and is detailed information on whether or not to allow the member to play again. The replay priority parameter 16f is a parameter in which the priority of the game type or the storage medium of the possessed game medium to be the boarding source when playing back is set for each game type of the boarding destination.

The control unit 17 is a control unit that entirely controls the inter-room card processor 10, and includes a data management unit 17a, a count processing unit 17b, a replay control unit 17c, an entry calculation processing unit 17d, and an entry restriction setting processing unit 17e. . In practice, programs corresponding to these functional units are stored in a ROM or non-volatile memory (not shown), and these programs are loaded onto a central processing unit (CPU) and executed to execute corresponding processes. Will be run.

  When the card is inserted, the data management unit 17a transmits a card insertion notification including the card ID 16a and the device ID 16c to the card management device 40. Further, when the data management unit 17a receives data including a valuable value (prepaid value, at least one of a game holding medium and a storage medium) from the card management device 40, the data management unit 17a receives the valuable value data 16b according to the received valuable value. Update. The data management unit 17a controls the display operation unit 13 to appropriately display information on the prepaid value, the gaming medium, and the storage medium indicated in the value data 16b.

  Further, if the data management unit 17a receives the information on the individual replay parameter 55d corresponding to the card ID of the card from the member management apparatus 50 via the card management apparatus 40 by sending a card insertion notice, It stores in the replay parameter 16e. Since the individual replay parameter 55d is data managed in association with the card ID of the member, it is assumed that a default value is set when the membership card is not set. Further, although only the member can set the replay parameter 16e in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is assumed that the card management device 40 manages non-member replaying parameters in association with the card ID of a general card other than a membership card, and setting up the replaying parameter 16e in the inter-room card processor 10 even if it is a nonmember It may be possible to The setting and updating contents are transmitted to the card management apparatus 40 when setting and updating the replay parameter 16e in the inter-base card processor 10, and the management contents are updated, and the card management is performed when the general card is inserted. The player 40 sends the managed player's replay parameter from the device 40.

  Further, the data management unit 17a transmits a ball lending request including the card ID 16a and the device ID 16c to the card management apparatus 40 when the game customer performs a ball lending operation. If the ball lending permission is received as a response to the ball lending request, the data management unit 17a pays out a predetermined number of gaming balls.

  In addition, when the card return operation is performed by the game player, the data management unit 17a transmits a ball addition request including the card ID 16a, the device ID 16c, and the number of balls held to the card management device 40, and the valuable value data 16b. Is cleared and the replay parameter 16e is initialized to a default value, and then a card ejection notification is sent to the card management apparatus 40 to eject the card.

  In addition, when a bill is inserted into the bill insertion slot 12a, the data management unit 17a transmits a payment notification including the amount of the inserted bill, the card ID 16a and the device ID 16c to the card management device 40.

  When gaming balls are inserted into the counting unit 18b, the counting processing unit 17b causes the counting unit 18b to count the gaming balls, and performs a process of adding the counting result to the number of holding media in the value data 16b.

  When the replay processing unit 17c receives a replay operation of the gaming guest, the replay processing unit 17c subtracts the number corresponding to the number of gaming media to be paid out from the balance of either the gaming media or the storage gaming media, thereby obtaining a predetermined number. Pay out the game ball of. The replay process will be described in detail.

  First, when the re-playing operation of the gaming customer is received, the re-play processing unit 17c determines the balance of the game type of the possessed game medium of the valuable value data 16b, the balance of the game type of the storage medium, and the re-play parameter 16e. Then, with reference to the replay priority parameter 16f, the number of game media to be paid out in replay is deducted and the origin is determined.

  If the determined withdrawal source is a possessed game medium of any game type, the replay processing unit 17c is responsive to the number of game media to be paid out from the number of possessed game media of the corresponding game type in the value data 16b. The number is subtracted and a predetermined number of game balls are paid out from the nozzle unit 18a.

  If the determined withdrawal source is a storage medium of any game type, a storage medium reproduction request including the card ID 16a and the device ID 16c is transmitted to the card management device 40. When the storage medium replay data is received as a response to the storage medium replay request, the balance of the storage medium account of the value data 16b is updated, and a predetermined game ball is paid out. In addition, at the time of the first storage medium reproduction operation, input of a password is requested, and matching with the password indicated in the valuable value data 16b is set as a condition for transmitting a storage medium replay request.

  The ride-in calculation processing unit 17d displays the screen shown in (3) of FIG. 1 when the “calculation of on-board” button is pressed on the screen shown in (2) of FIG. In addition, if the entry destination is designated on the screen shown in (3) of FIG. 1, the entry calculation processing unit 17d designates the designated entry such as (5) or (6) in FIG. The number of game media that can be paid out when re-played in the previous game type game is calculated and output to the display operation unit 13.

  The riding restriction setting processing unit 17e causes the display / operation unit 13 to display the replay parameter 16e when the "embedding detail setting" button displayed when the replaying on the seat shown in (4) of FIG. 1 is permitted. The content is displayed, the change of the replay parameter 16e is accepted by the operation of the display operation unit 13, and the modification content is reflected on the replay parameter 16e. In addition, when the content of the replay parameter 16e is updated, the entry restriction setting processing unit 17e notifies the member management apparatus 50 of the updated content, and the member management apparatus 50 that receives the updated content reflects the updated content in the individual replay parameter 55d. Do.

  Next, the screen configuration displayed on the display operation unit 13 of the inter-base card processor 10 shown in FIG. 2 will be described. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a screen configuration displayed on the display operation unit 13 of the inter-base-card processor 10. As shown in FIG. The screens of (1), (2) and (3) shown in FIG. 10 are the same as (1), (2) and (3) of FIG. 1, respectively. Further, the screens of (5) and (6) shown in FIG. 10 have the same configuration as (4) and (5) of FIG. 1, respectively, and some numerical values are different. From this, in the description of FIG. 10, the description of the same content as that of FIG. 1 is omitted. The values shown in the screen example of FIG. 10 are examples based on the data of the valuable value data 16b, the replay parameter 16e, and the replay priority parameter 16f of FIG.

  The screen example of (1) of FIG. 10 is a screen in the case of not performing the insertion re-play, the number of possessed balls to be displayed is a total value of 300 balls of balls 4 balls and 200 balls of balls, and is a total value. Since 500 balls contain the game medium content, it is highlighted. The value displayed for the replay priority in (2) of FIG. 10 is output based on the replay priority parameter 16f.

  The breakdown of the sum of the medal number of medals 5 and the medal number stored in the screen display example of (6) in FIG. 10 is 400, the medal number of medals in the value data 16b of FIG. 9 is zero and the medal number is It is 400. Further, as shown in the re-play parameter 16e of FIG. 9, the stored medals of 20 yen for medals and 5 yen for medals can not be re-played into the game of 4 yen balls, so medal 5 of (6) of FIG. The word "impossible to enter" is displayed as the converted value, which is the number of game media that can be paid out when the game type of the ball of 4 yen is inserted and replayed. As a result, the total number of game media that can be paid out when the game type of ball 4 yen is inserted and replayed is "500 balls" of the total value of ball 4 yen balls and stored medals and 1 yen ball The total of "500 balls", which is the converted value of the "2000 balls", indicates that it is "1,000 balls".

  (5) in FIG. 10 is displayed by pressing the "Replay on / off" button on the screen of (1) or by pressing on the "Re-P on / off" button on the screen of (6), and the number of possible payouts of (6) The same "1,000 balls" as the value displayed on is displayed.

  The screen of (4) in FIG. 10 is displayed when the "set in details" button is pressed on the screen of (5). On the screen of (4), a detailed setting screen of ride-in replay regarding the game type of the gaming machine 20 corresponding to the inter-room card processing device 10 is displayed. On the upper part of the screen, a button “In game of ball 4 yen” indicating that the setting is for the game type of the gaming machine 20 corresponding to the inter-stage card processing machine 10 is displayed, and the game is executed based on the replay parameter 16e. Information of whether or not the ball can be re-played with the ball, the medals, the balls, and the stored medals to the species is displayed. It is possible to re-play into the game of ball 4 yen that is "possible to enter", and it is impossible to re-play into the game of four yen that is displayed as "impossible to enter" It shows that it is.

  The wording on the key-top of the "Ball 4 yen game" button in (4) of Fig. 10 is in turn "In the ball 2 yen game" and "Ball 1 yen game" each time the button is pressed once. ", In the game of" the medal 20 yen "," in the game of the medal 5 yen ", when pressed again, it returns to" in the game of 4 yen ball ". In addition, by changing the wording of the key top of the button, information on whether or not the ball, medals, balls, and stored medals in the game type corresponding to the wording of the key top can be displayed is displayed.

  In addition, when the "Enter" button is pressed, the wording on the key top of the button changes to "Not available", and when the "Not allowed" button is pressed, the word on the key top of the button "Entered" Change to "Yes". It is possible to designate detailed information as to whether or not to enter play again by operating the "enter" or "do not enter" buttons corresponding to the balls, medals, balls and stored medals.

  In addition, the “set” button and the “cancel” button are arranged at the lower part of the screen of (4) in FIG. 10, and when the “set” button is pressed, the vehicle is changed again by the operation of the screen of (4). The detailed information of the play availability is reflected on the replay parameter 16e. In addition, the change content reflected to the replay parameter 16e is also reflected to the individual replay parameter 55d of the member management device 50. Further, when the "cancel" button is pressed, the detailed information of whether or not the on-the-fly replay has been changed by the operation on the screen of (4) is returned to the screen of (5) without being reflected in the replay parameter 16e.

  The screen configuration shown in FIG. 10 is an example of the implementation mode. For example, although it has been described that the item including the key game medium is reversely displayed, a graphical user interface (GUI) may be adopted to make the display form easier for the game customer to understand. For example, although the user interface is such that the wording of the key top of the button is changed by pressing the button in the screen shown in (4), the candidate is displayed in the pull-down and the user interface can be selected directly from there It may be.

  Next, the processing procedure at the time of the re-play processing of the between-the-room card processor 10 shown in FIG. 2 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing the processing procedure of the inter-room card processor 10 during the re-play processing.

  The replay processing unit 17c determines that the display operation unit 13 accepts the replay operation (step S101), and ends the process when the replay operation is not received (step S101; No). When a replay operation is accepted (step S101; Yes), the game type of the gaming machine 20 corresponding to the stand-alone card processing device 10, the valuable value data 16b, the replay parameter 16e, and the replay priority parameter 16f It is determined whether the replay is possible or not, and if it is determined that the replay is possible, a withdrawal source of the number of game media corresponding to the game balls to be paid out in the replay is determined (step S102).

  If it is determined that the replay is not possible in the replay determination processing of step S102 (step S103; No), a message indicating that the replay is not possible is displayed on the display operation unit 13 (step S104), and the process is ended. Do.

  In addition, when it is determined that the replay is possible in the replay determination processing of the step S102 (step S103; Yes), the withdrawal source of the number of gaming media corresponding to the game balls to be paid out in the replay is determined as the holding media. In the case (step S105; Yes), the replay processing unit 17c subtracts the number corresponding to the game balls to be paid out in the replay from the balance of the withdrawal source game type determined by the valuable value data 16b (step S106). ), A predetermined number of game balls are paid out from the nozzle unit 18a (step S107), and the process is ended.

  In addition, if the withdrawal source of the number of game media corresponding to the game balls to be paid out in the replay is determined as the storage media (step S105; No), whether replay from the storage media is the first time or not A determination is made (step S108). If the replay from the storage medium is not the first time (step S108; No), the process proceeds to step S111. If the replay from the storage medium is the first time (step S108; Yes), the replay processing unit 17c performs a personal identification number reception process that causes the gaming customer to input a personal identification number (step S109).

  If the password accepted in step S109 is not correct (step S110; No), the process returns to step S109 and returns to the process for accepting the password. If the personal identification number accepted in step S109 is correct (step S110; Yes), the replay processing unit 17c transmits a stored game medium replay request to the card management device 40 (step S111).

  If a response indicating permission for the storage medium is not received in response to the storage medium replay request (step S112; No), the replay processing unit 17c displays a message indicating that replay is not possible. (Step S113), the process ends.

  If storage medium reproduction data indicating permission for the storage medium is received in response to the storage medium reproduction request (step S112; Yes), the replay processing unit 17c includes the storage medium reproduction data. The contents of the balance after updating of the storage medium to be played are reflected on the valuable value data 16b (step S114), a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out from the nozzle unit 18a (step S115), and the processing is ended.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a replay request is received, the game type of the holding medium or storage medium to be withdrawn according to the predetermined priority is determined, and the game medium to be paid out from the determined withdrawal source balance The game media is paid out by subtracting the number according to the number and the game type, and the balance for each of the game types of the holding medium and the storage medium, and the game type of the holding medium and the storage medium are re-reproduced. It is possible to display the number of conversions that can be paid out by play and the total value of the conversion numbers, and reduce the balance of holding media or storage media of a game type different from the game type of the game media to be paid out Since it is configured to allow the game customer to specify whether or not to carry out the play-in and play-out of the medium, the convenience of the game customer involved in the play-in play using the storage medium and the holding game medium is made It is possible to above.

  In the above-described embodiment, the explanation is given that the balance is subtracted from the gaming media or storage gaming media and the gaming media are paid out when the operation instructing the replay is received, but the replay is the gaming media. Or, it means making a storage medium usable in a game, and it is not limited to physically paying out. For example, when the inter-table device receives an operation instructing re-play, the inter-device transmits data instructing the gaming machine to make the predetermined number of gaming media usable, and the data is transmitted. The gaming machine that has received the may physically make the predetermined number of gaming media available for use without paying out the gaming media.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, it is described that the inter-table card processor 10 sets whether or not to execute the entering re-play using the balance of the game types of the possessed game medium and the stored game medium for each game type. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be possible to set at the time of member registration, or provide a function capable of updating the individual replay parameter 55d of the member management apparatus 50 via the Web browser of a PC or a smartphone.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the source of withdrawal is automatically made according to the predetermined priority only by the operation of the "replay" button without dividing the operation of the replay from the holding medium and the replaying from the storage medium. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in the case where the "play game media replay" button and the "play game media replay" button are arranged and the "play game media replay" button is pressed, automatic processing is performed according to the priority of the withdrawal media for the game media. The game type of the holding media of the withdrawal source is determined, and when the "replay storage medium" button is pressed, the game of the storage medium of the withdrawal source is automatically performed according to the priority of the withdrawal source of the storage medium. The species may be determined.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the explanation has been made on the premise that there is no limit on the number of playable game media, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the upper limit number of replaying media using the storage medium is set, or the upper limit number of replays using the gaming media and the holding game media of other game types is multiplied. It is good also as a value which set the number of balls possessed and the number which can be paid out displayed on the screen of the between-the-rooms card processor 10 reflecting the upper limit number which is provided by setting the incoming / replaying upper limit number.

  Specifically, the upper limit number of storage medium replays is provided, and the upper limit number of storage medium replays is 1000, 600 balls of 4 yen for balls, 100 balls of 2 yen for balls, 100 balls, 1 When the number of balls with a circle is 0, the ball with 4 balls is 900 balls, the ball with 2 balls is 400 balls, and the ball with 1 ball is 0 balls, the number of balls converted to the game type of 4 yen balls Is 1,100 balls, but since the upper limit number is 1,000 balls, the number of replayable balls using the storage medium in the game of 4 yen balls is 1,000. As a result, on the screen of the inter-stage card processing machine 10 during the game with 4 yen balls of the ball, 1650 balls added with the number 650 of possible replays using the game medium are displayed as the number of possible payouts. In addition, the number of possessed balls may be displayed as 1,750 balls, and the number of dispensable balls may be displayed as 1,650 balls. In addition, what can not be used in such a case is a storage medium having a low priority in the replay priority parameter 55e.

  In addition, we set the upper limit number of boarding replays and set the upper limit number of boarding replays to 1000 balls, 600 balls of 4 yen balls, 100 balls of 2 yen balls, 100 balls of 1 yen balls In the case where 0 balls, 4 balls of balls are 900 balls, 2 balls of balls are 400 balls, and 1 ball of balls is 0 balls, the balls of all game types are converted to game balls of 4 yen. The number of balls stored is 1,100, and the number of balls obtained by converting the game medium of game types other than 4 yen into 4 types of balls is 50, a total of 1,150, but the upper limit is 1,000. Therefore, the number of replayable balls using the storage medium and the holding medium of other game types in the game of 4 yen for the game type of balls is 1,000. Thereby, on the screen of the inter-stage card processing machine 10 during the game with 4 yen game type of balls, 1600 balls obtained by adding the number 600 of replayable balls using the game medium of 4 yen balls as the dispensable number indicate. In addition, the number of possessed balls may be displayed as 1,750 balls, and the number of dispensable balls may be displayed as 1,600 balls. It is to be noted that what can not be used in such a case is the holding game medium or the storage game medium having low priority in the replay priority parameters 16f, 55e.

  In the above-described embodiment, the open type game machine which pays out the game medium from the game machine has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the game medium from the game machine It may be an enclosed type gaming machine that manages the number of gaming media as data without performing payout. In the case of the enclosed type game machine, the number obtained by adding the number of possessed balls described in the embodiment and the number of game media managed as data by the game machine may be displayed as the number of possessed balls.

  In the above embodiment, an embodiment related to the gaming machine 20 using gaming balls as gaming media and a stand-by device corresponding to the gaming machine 20 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and gaming The present invention can also be applied to the case of performing onboard replay in an inter-stand unit corresponding to a gaming machine using any game medium other than balls.

  Further, each configuration illustrated in the above-described embodiment is functionally schematic, and does not necessarily have to be physically configured as illustrated. That is, the mode of distribution and integration of each device is not limited to that shown in the drawings, and all or a part thereof is functionally or physically dispersed or integrated in any unit according to various loads, usage conditions, etc. It can be configured.

  As described above, the gaming system according to the present invention is suitable for improving the convenience of the gaming customer involved in the onboard replay using the storage medium and the gaming medium.
