Description

This invention is juxtaposed to the gaming machine for game using game medium, about each too much location for performing game media lending process to a usable state the game medium to the player in exchange for subtraction of negotiable value.

  Conventionally, in gaming establishments such as pachinko parlors, gaming machines are set which play a game using gaming media. A game customer receives loan of game media such as game balls and medals from the game arcade, and inserts the lent game media into the game machine to play a game. Specifically, each base unit is attached to a gaming machine, and each base unit receives a storage medium associated with a prepaid value as a valuable value. Then, each base device pays out game media in exchange for subtraction of prepaid value, and lending of game media is performed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  The amount of prepaid value to be deducted when lending out gaming media is the lending price of the gaming media, and this lending price is called a rate. For example, when a prepaid value equivalent to 4 yen per ball is deducted at the time of game ball lending, the unit price of the game ball is 4 yen, which is called a 4 yen rate.

  In the case of gaming balls, the rate of 4 yen has been widely used, and in the case of medals, the rate of 20 yen has been widely used. In recent years, game media of various rates such as 1 yen rate game balls and 5 yen rate medals have been used. It is done. In the game arcade, the rate is clearly indicated to the game customers by dividing the section for each rate and displaying the rate on each base device.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrating preferred embodiments of the too much location according to the present invention in detail.

  In the present specification, the number of balls is data indicating the gaming media acquired by the gaming customer in the game or the number of the gaming media, and it is possible to provide again for gaming only during the day (time before closing the store) Tell what you can do. The term "reserved balls" refers to game media acquired by a game player in a game or data indicating the number of the game media, and can be used again for the next day or later (time after closing the store). The ball-bearing is available to both a general game player and a member game player, and is used when, for example, the game machine used for the game is changed (so-called platform movement). The balls are normally usable only by member players, and are used when the acquired gaming media are used for the next day or later. A predetermined fee may be charged for use of the balls.

  First, display of rates according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining display of a rate according to the first embodiment. The inter-room card processing machine, which is a stand unit attached to the gaming machine, performs a lending process for paying out game balls in exchange for subtraction of prepaid value.

  In the inter-tier card processing machine, the number of borrowed balls, which is the number of balls to be paid out in one lending process, and the subtracted prepaid value, which is the prepaid value to be subtracted in one lending process, are set. Further, the inter-room card processor can display the information on the rate on the display unit, but the display format at that time is also set.

  As display formats for displaying information on rates on the display unit, there are loan unit display and ball unit price display. The loan unit display is a format for displaying the number of loaned balls and the deducted prepaid value. The ball unit price display is a format for displaying a loan unit price obtained by dividing the subtraction prepaid value by the number of loaned balls.

  When the number of borrowed balls and the subtraction prepaid value are set, the inter-day card processor calculates a ball unit price and determines whether or not the ball unit price can be accurately displayed on the display unit. As a result, if it is possible to accurately display the ball unit price, it is possible to set either the lending unit display or the ball unit price display. On the other hand, if the ball unit price can not be displayed accurately, the unit display is automatically set.

  FIG. 1 (1) shows the case where accurate price display is possible. Specifically, the number of loaned balls is 125, the deducted prepaid value is equivalent to 500 yen, and the ball unit price is 4 yen per ball. In the lending unit display shown in FIG. 1 (1a), 125 balls for the number of lending balls and the deducted prepaid value of 500 yen are displayed as rate information, and in the ball unit price display shown in FIG. It is displayed as information. In the example shown in FIG. 1 (1), since accurate unit price display is possible, both the lending unit display and the ball unit price display can be set as the display format.

  On the other hand, FIG. 1 (2) shows the case where accurate unit price display is impossible. Specifically, the number of loaned balls is 116, the deducted prepaid value is equivalent to 500 yen, and the ball unit price is one ball 4.3103 ... yen. In this case, since the ball unit price is an infinite decimal, it can not be accurately displayed on the display unit. In the lending unit display shown in FIG. 1 (2a), the number of lending balls 116 and the subtraction prepaid value 500 yen are displayed as rate information. However, in the ball unit price display shown in FIG. 1 (2b), it is possible to display only up to the second decimal place like 4.31 yen per ball. Therefore, the inter-room card processor automatically sets the display format to the lending unit display. At this time, even if the ball unit price display is set in advance, the setting change from the ball unit price display to the lending unit display is performed.

  As described above, when setting the subtraction prepaid value and the number of lending balls in the lending process, the inter-day card processing device according to the first embodiment divides the subtraction prepaid value by the number of lending balls to calculate the ball unit price, When the unit price can not be accurately displayed on the display unit, the rate is displayed not by the ball unit price display but by the lending unit display. For this reason, it is possible to inform the player of the correct rate without avoiding the incorrect display of the ball unit price.

  Next, a specific example of data stored in the storage unit 16 of the inter-room card processor 10 will be described. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram for explaining data stored in the storage unit 16 of the inter-room card processor 10. As shown in FIG.

  In the own device state data 16a shown in FIG. 5A, the ID of the inter-room card processor 10 is "5006", and the game type "ball 1" is set as the game setting of the inter-room card processor 10. Is shown.

  The card data 16 b shown in FIG. 5B indicates that the ID of the card inserted in the inter-base-card processor 10 is “2002”. Here, the upper one digit of the card ID indicates the type of the card, the first upper digit "1" card is a general card, the upper first digit "2" card is a membership card. Further, the card data 16 b indicates that the prepaid value is “9000” frequency. Here, with the frequency of prepaid value, one frequency is equivalent to 1 yen. Further, the card data 16b indicates that the balance of ball 1 ball is "500", the balance of ball 2 is "0", and the balance of ball 3 is "130". ing.

  Further, the card data 16b has the password 777 for replaying the ball, the ball 1 ball "900", the ball 2 ball "0", and the ball 3 ball "500". It shows the state of being a ball. Further, although not shown, the card management device 40 also stores ON / OFF of a “lock” flag indicating validity / invalidity of the card in addition to balls, balls, and prepaid balance in association with the card ID. When a card theft is detected, it is turned on by employee operation. These data are also included and stored in the card data 16b.

  The ball lending setting data 16c shown in FIG. 5C includes the number of borrowed balls, the subtraction prepaid value, the ball unit price, the number of display digits, the number of ball lending pulses to be transmitted in one lending process, and the converted value of the ball lending pulse. Have an item. Specifically, the number of loaned balls is "116 balls", the subtraction prepaid value is "500 yen", the ball unit price is "4.3103", the number of display digits is "the second decimal place", and it is transmitted by one lending process. It is indicated that the number of ball lending pulses to be performed is “4” and the converted value of the ball lending pulses is “29”.

  The display setting data 16d shown in FIG. 5 (d) can set either "1. lending unit display" or "2. ball unit price display" as a display format when displaying information on rates on the display unit. It is shown that.

  Next, sharing of display settings will be described. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram of sharing of display settings. In the example shown in FIG. 6, a section of the two yen rate and a section of the four yen rate are provided in the game arcade.

  In the 2 yen rate section, the number of loaned balls is 200 and the deducted prepaid value of 440 yen is set, and the ball unit price is 2.2 yen. Since the ball unit price can be accurately displayed on the display operation unit 13, the display format can be arbitrarily set. In FIG. 6, the ball unit price display is set.

  Here, in the section of the 4-yen rate, if the number of loaned balls is 116 and the subtraction prepaid value is set to 500 yen, the ball unit price becomes 4.3103 yen and can not be accurately displayed on the display operation unit 13. Therefore, the display format is automatically set to the lending unit display.

  If the ball unit price display is set in the 2-yen rate section and the lending unit display is set in the 4-yen rate section, the display format will differ depending on the section, leading to confusion of the gaming customer. Therefore, when the display format is automatically set to the rental unit display, the inter-room card processing device 10 notifies the other inter-room card processing device 10 that the inter-room card processing device 10 is set to the rental unit display. The inter-room card processing device 10 that has received this notification automatically changes the setting of the own device from the ball unit price display to the lending unit display. By this operation, it is possible to unify the display format of all the inter-room card processors 10 in the game arcade.

  Next, the processing procedure when the inter-room card processing device 10 performs setting relating to the ball lending will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure when the inter-room card processing device 10 performs setting relating to ball lending.

  First, the lending setting unit 17d sets the number of lending balls and the subtraction prepaid value, and updates the ball lending setting data 16c (step S101). The ball unit price calculation unit 17 f divides the subtraction prepaid value by the number of loaned balls to calculate a ball unit price, and updates the ball lending setting data 16 c (step S 102).

  The display format restriction unit 17g determines whether or not the ball unit price can be displayed with the number of display digits indicated in the ball lending setting data 16c (step S103). As a result, if the ball unit price can be displayed by the number of display digits (step S103; Yes), the display format setting unit 17e receives the setting of the display format from the gaming clerk (step S104), and ends the processing.

  On the other hand, if the ball unit price can not be displayed by the number of display digits (step S103; No), the display format restriction unit 17g sets the display format to the lending unit display (step S105). Then, the display setting sharing unit 17h notifies the other inter-room card processing device 10 of the display format (step S106), and the process ends.

  Next, the display of the number of game balls that can be borrowed will be described. FIG. 8 is an explanatory view of the display of the number of game balls that can be borrowed. As shown in FIG. 8 (a), when the gaming machine 20 is in an idle state, the available-number display control unit 17c can play game balls that can be borrowed when 500 yen, 1000 yen, and 10000 yen are deposited. Display the number.

  In FIG. 8 (a), it is lending at 125 balls of 500 yen, and if 500 yen is deposited, 125 balls, if 1000 yen is deposited, 250 balls and 2500 yen can be borrowed if 10000 yen is deposited. Is displayed on the display operation unit 13.

  FIG.8 (b) has shown the state which received 10000 yen. With the payment of 10000 yen, the balance of the prepaid value becomes 10000 degrees, and it is displayed on the display operation unit 13 that it is possible to lend 2500 balls.

  FIG. 8C shows a state in which the ball lending operation has been accepted. In FIG. 8C, the display operation unit 13 displays that the game ball is being dispensed and that the number is 125 balls. When the payout is completed, as shown in FIG. 8D, the prepaid value is reduced by 500 degrees to 9500 degrees. And, along with the subtraction of the prepaid value, the number of playable game balls is also updated. Specifically, it is displayed on the display operation unit 13 that it is possible to lend 2375 balls with the remaining prepaid value of 9500 degrees.

  Next, the ball lending pulse will be further described. FIG. 9 is an explanatory view of a ball lending pulse. The lending setting unit 17d divides the number of borrowed balls by a predetermined number of balls, for example, 25 balls, and sets the quotient as the number of ball lending pulses to be transmitted in one lending process. At this time, if the quotient is 1 or more, the remainder is discarded. However, if the quotient is less than 1, the remainder is rounded up, and the number of ball lending pulses to be transmitted in one lending process is set to "1". Then, a quotient obtained by dividing the number of loaned balls by the number of ball lending pulses transmitted in one lending process is taken as a conversion value.

  FIG. 9A shows the case where the number of lending balls is 25 or more. Assuming that the number of loaned balls is 116 balls and the subtraction prepaid value is 500 yen, since 116 ÷ 25 is four remainders 16, the number of ball lending pulses to be transmitted in one lending process is “4”. Then, the conversion value is 116 ÷ 4 = 29.

  In this case, the inter-day card processor 10 transmits four ball lending pulses to the hall computer 70 each time the lending process is performed. The hall computer 70 holds the conversion value of each inter-room card processor 10, and multiplies the number of pulses received from the inter-room card processor 10 by the conversion value, whereby the inter-room card processor 10 is lent out. The number of balls can be accurately determined.

  FIG. 9 (b) shows the case where the number of lending balls is less than 25. Assuming that the number of lending balls is 24 and the subtraction prepaid value is 50 yen, since 24 ÷ 25 is 0 over 24, the number of ball lending pulses to be transmitted in one lending process is "1". Then, the conversion value is 24 ÷ 1 = 24.

  In this case, the inter-day card processor 10 transmits one ball lending pulse to the hall computer 70 each time the lending process is performed. The hall computer 70 holds the converted value of each inter-room card processor 10 and multiplies the number of pulses received from the inter-room card processor 10 by the converted value, so that the number of balls borrowed by the inter-room card processor 10 Can be determined accurately.

  By transmitting pulses in this manner, the hole computer 70 can accurately grasp the number of balls paid out in one lending process, regardless of the number of balls paid out. For this reason, it is possible to manage sales in the game arcade with high accuracy.

  As described above, when setting the subtraction prepaid value and the number of lending balls in the lending process, the inter-day card processing device 10 according to the first embodiment calculates the ball unit price by dividing the subtraction prepaid value by the number of lending balls. If the ball unit price can not be accurately displayed on the display unit, the rate is displayed not by the ball unit price but by the loan unit display. For this reason, it is possible to inform the player of the correct rate without avoiding the incorrect display of the ball unit price.

  In the first embodiment described above, the configuration in which the lending unit display or the ball unit price display is used as the display format for displaying information on the rate on the display unit is described. However, the display format is limited to the lending unit display and the ball unit price display It is also possible to select from three or more display formats. In the second embodiment, variations of the display format will be described.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram of a display format used in the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, in the second embodiment, (c) index display can be selected in addition to (a) lending unit display and (b) ball unit price display.

  The indicator display is a format for displaying an indicator of a unit price corresponding to a ball unit price. In FIG. 10C, one star-shaped symbol is displayed per one ball unit price of approximately 1 yen, and four star-shaped symbols are displayed because the ball unit price is one ball of 4.31 yen. If the ball unit price is close to 2 yen, such as 1.98 yen or 2.23 yen, two star-shaped symbols are displayed.

  As described above, by using the index display, even if the ball unit price can not be displayed accurately, it is possible to intuitively show the estimated value of the ball unit price. Further, since the symbol display is used, it is possible to make the game player aware that the value is not an accurate value but an approximate value.

  Also in the second embodiment, when the number of loaned balls and the subtraction prepaid value are set, the inter-room card processing machine calculates the ball unit price and determines whether or not the ball unit price can be accurately displayed on the display unit. . As a result, if the ball unit price can be displayed accurately, the display format can be selected and set from the lending unit display, the ball unit price display, or the indicator display. On the other hand, if the ball unit price can not be displayed accurately, the ball unit price display is prohibited, and the display format is selected from the lending unit display or the index display.

  Thus, when setting the subtraction prepaid value and the number of lending balls in the lending process, the inter-day card processing machine according to the second embodiment calculates the ball unit price by dividing the subtraction prepaid value by the number of lending balls, If the unit price can not be accurately displayed on the display unit, the selection of the ball unit price display is prohibited. For this reason, it is possible to inform the player of the correct rate without avoiding the incorrect display of the ball unit price.

  Next, an internal configuration of the inter-room card processing machine according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the inter-stand-card processor 110 according to the second embodiment.

Further, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the control unit 17 does not have the display setting sharing unit. The operations of the display format setting unit 117e and the display format limiting unit 117g of the control unit 17 are different from those of the first embodiment. The other configuration and operation are the same as those of the inter-base card processor 10 shown in the first embodiment, so the same reference numerals are given to the same components and the description will be omitted.

  The display setting data 116d is, as shown in FIG. 12, one of “1. lending unit display”, “2. ball unit price display”, and “3. index display” as display formats when displaying information on rates on the display unit. Either can be set. The display format setting unit 117e stores one of the options as the option as display setting data 116d in the storage unit 16. This setting may be received from an external device, or may be inputted by a game clerk using the display operation unit 13.

  If the ball unit price is calculated by the ball unit price calculation unit 17f, the display format restriction unit 117g determines whether or not the ball unit price can be displayed with the number of display digits indicated in the ball lending setting data 16c. As a result, if the ball unit price can not be displayed by the number of display digits, the selection of the ball unit price display is prohibited. As a result, the arcade clerk will select the display format from the lending unit display or the index display.

  Next, the processing procedure when the inter-day card processing device 110 performs the setting relating to ball lending will be described. FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure when the inter-room card processing machine 110 performs setting relating to ball lending.

  First, the lending setting unit 17d sets the number of lending balls and the subtraction prepaid value, and updates the ball lending setting data 16c (step S201).

  The display format restriction unit 117g determines whether the ball unit price can be displayed with the number of display digits indicated in the ball lending setting data 16c (step S203). As a result, if the ball unit price can not be displayed by the number of display digits (step S203; No), the display format restriction unit 117g prohibits the selection of the ball unit price display (step S204).

  If the ball unit price can be displayed by the number of display digits (step S203; Yes), or after the end of step S204, the display format setting unit 117e receives the setting of the display format from the gaming clerk (step S205), finish.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, when the subtraction prepaid value and the number of lending balls in the lending process are set, the subtraction prepaid value is divided by the number of lending balls to calculate the ball unit price, and the ball unit price is displayed on the display unit. If accurate display can not be made, the selection of ball unit price display is prohibited. For this reason, it is possible to inform the player of the correct rate without avoiding the incorrect display of the ball unit price.

  In the above-described embodiment, although the case of using the loan unit display or the index display has been described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this.
