Description

  The present invention relates to a game arcade system.

  In order to manage whether or not the gaming machine has been tampered with, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the game information exceeds the set value, it is detected that the fraud is performed.

Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2003-199961

Conventionally, special states such as a normal state and a definite change state, such as the normal entering / outgoing ball number ratio value described in paragraph [0049] of Patent Document 1 and the probability varying incoming / outlet ball ratio value described in paragraph [0050] Etc., distinguished by the game state to specify the exit rate, set a different set value for each exit rate, but in particular set value in the special state that the winning rate to the starting opening etc. will be high in the special state Therefore, in many cases, even if you are not cheating, it becomes unstable. If you set the setting value low, false detections occur frequently, and if you set it high, you can not detect cheating properly, and so on. It was difficult to set.
On the other hand, in the normal state or special state, there is a rampant injustice in which the ball is illegally obtained by making the prize winning opening other than the starting opening illegally win, and measures are required for this point. As it is, it is difficult to cope with detection of the rate of exit.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a game arcade system capable of appropriately detecting fraud detection in a special state which is a gaming state having a higher payout rate than a normal state as in the normal state. It is to do.

  According to the first aspect of the invention, the exclusion provision information indicating information excluding the start provision value which is the game value provided according to the start winning from the game value provided according to the game is detected as a detection target. Even in a special state where the awarding rate is increased due to an increase in the winning rate to the starting opening, the abnormality detection is performed by the exclusion assigning information excluding the start granting value, so that the improvement of the starting granting value is not taken into consideration. Similar anomaly detection is possible.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an entire configuration of a game arcade system. A large number of gaming machines 1 are installed in the game arcade, and gaming machines 2 (setting means) are installed corresponding to the respective gaming machines 1. The gaming machine 1 and the gaming device 2 are connected to the management device 5 via the relay device 3 and the LAN 4. The management device 5 (detection information specifying means, setting means, abnormality judging means, output means) receives a game signal transmitted from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the gaming apparatus 2, etc.), and plays the game for each gaming machine 1 Manage data etc. Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred game machines 1 are to be managed by the management device 6. In the present embodiment, since the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko machine, the gaming value is a pachinko ball.

  The management device 5 is installed in, for example, an office or the like in the game arcade, and connected with a keyboard 6, a monitor 7, a printer (not shown), etc. operated by a manager of the game arcade (hereinafter referred to simply as administrator). It is done. The management device 5 manages the operation status and the like of the gaming machine 1 and the gaming device 2 installed in the game arcade.

  The gaming machine 1 has an operation handle 9 which constitutes a launcher for firing balls on the game board surface 8, an upper receiving tray 10, and a lower receiving tray 11, and the liquid crystal display unit 12, the common drawing winning opening 13, the 1) A starting opening 14 (starting opening), a second starting opening 15 (starting opening), and a special winning opening 16 are provided.

The gaming machine 1 operates as described below.
(1) The first starting opening 14 is a winning opening (the so-called winning winning opening) in which the winning rate does not change, and the second starting opening 15 is the winning opening (the so-called electric chow) in which the winning ratio changes. A big hit lottery is performed according to the winning (start winning) to each starting opening 14, 15 and the lottery result is notified by the symbol variation (starting process) performed on the liquid crystal display unit 12, and the big hit state according to the variation result It becomes.

  (2) When a start winning is made during symbol fluctuation, symbol fluctuation is accumulated withholding to a predetermined holding upper limit value (for example, four each), and symbol fluctuation held after symbol fluctuation is ended is started. In addition, when the start winning combination is carried out in a state where the number of symbol variations being held (number of holdings) is the upper limit value, the symbol variations are not held.

  (3) The winning probability (big hit probability) of the big hit lottery is 1/260, and the probability change rate is the rate at which the big hit (favorable state) will become the positive change state (positive change, favorable state) after that It is 66.6% (in both the normal state and the positive change state). When a big hit occurs, the big winning opening 16 is opened for the corresponding round (R). The upper limit winning number for 1R is 9, the upper limit opening period is 30 seconds, and 1R is ended when either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening period is satisfied.

  (4) The corresponding rounds are also drawn in the same way as for the big hit lottery, and the distribution ratio is 10% for 2R, 45% for 4R, and 45% for 15R when winning in the first starting opening 14. 4R is 10% and 15R is 90% when winning opening is in starting opening 15, and the reserve digesting priority of symbol variation according to winning is higher in second starting opening 15 than in first starting opening 14 It is set.

  (5) During the definite change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/74, and the winning ratio to the second starting opening 15 is increased. In addition, since the definite change continues until the next big hit, it continues until the big hit (usually big hit) that becomes the normal gaming state (normal state) which is not a special condition such as big hit or definite change or time reduction after big hit It becomes a time saving state until a predetermined number (for example, 100 times) of symbol variations are performed.

  (6) The second starting opening 15 is in the open state with a high winning rate when the normal symbol (general drawing) that changes in accordance with the winning on the regular drawing winning opening 13 is hit. In this case, the fluctuation time of one common figure is 30 seconds in the normal state and 3 seconds in the short time state. The opening time is 0.3 seconds in the normal state and 5 seconds in the short time state. That is, in the time saving state, the spread time is shorter than that in the normal state, while the opening time is increased, so that the winning rate of the second starting port 15 is increased.

  The characteristics described above are for example the model A among the many gaming machines 1 installed in the game arcade, but for example, the distribution of the inner round of the values illustrated for the model B is different, etc. , Depending on the model will be various values.

The gaming machine 1 and the peripheral devices attached to the gaming machine 1 transmit the following gaming signals as the game progresses, such as the ball being hit by the player and the start winnings to the respective starting ports 14 and 15. .
Out signal = a signal capable of specifying the consumption value (out) transmitted from the out box for collecting consumption balls. Since one pulse is sent to 10 consumption (use, impact, collection) balls, “out signal number × 10” is specified as out. A signal transmitted from the gaming machine 1 may be used.

  Safe signal = a signal capable of specifying the prize award value (safe) transmitted from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is transmitted to the payout 10 balls, “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. Note that the replenishment signal transmitted from the replenishment device may be a safe signal. There are also an actual safe signal that is output when a ball is actually dispensed and a prize safe signal that is output when a payout is reserved according to a prize, but in order to minimize the time lag from prize to output. It is desirable to adopt the latter.

  Start signal = start process (symbol change, bonus operation, unit game) in the liquid crystal display unit (character item) 12 that fluctuates (acts) by start winning output outputted from the game machine 1, and start (number of start processing) Identifyable signal. Since it is output at the time of symbol fluctuation decision, starting processing is specified according to the signal input.

  Start winning signal = a signal capable of specifying that a winning opening has been output from the gaming machine 1. A signal capable of specifying the start winning combination and the number of starting winning combinations which are separately output at the first start opening 14 and the second start opening 15. Since it is output at the start winning combination, the start winning combination is specified according to the signal input. In the present embodiment, although the number of starts 1 and the number of starts 2 described later are specified by the start winning signal, they may be specified by the start signal.

-Big hit signal = a signal that can specify the big hit period output from the gaming machine 1. Since the state signal is output in level during the big hit, the middle of the big hit signal input is specified as the big hit.
-Special status signal = a signal capable of specifying a special status (hereinafter referred to as "short time" (sometimes referred to as "short time" may be referred to as "sweet") advantageous status) output from the gaming machine 1. Since the state signal is output in the special state (during the hour) during which the winning rate of the second starting opening 15 is improved, the special state signal input is specified as being in the special state. In addition, it may be a state signal (probable variation signal) output in level during certain variation in which the big hit probability is improved. Also, a period during which neither the jackpot signal nor the special state signal is input is specified as the normal state.

  The gaming apparatus 2 has a status display section 17 indicating the gaming status of the gaming machine 1, a money insertion slot 18 into which a monetary value is inserted, and an operation input from the player, as well as the number of symbol changes (progress ), A touch panel liquid crystal display unit 19 for displaying game data such as jackpot probability, a loan button 20 for paying out a rental ball, a payout button 21 for paying out balls and balls, and a dispensed ball , The card insertion slot 24 into which the general card 23 is inserted, the issuance button 25 which issues the general card 23 from the card insertion slot 24, and the removable counting tray 26 located below the lower tray 11 of the gaming machine 1 Etc.

  When the gaming apparatus 2 receives money at the coin insertion slot 18 (money accepting process), the payment amount is added to the balance and displayed on the gaming apparatus 2 and the lending button 20 of the gaming apparatus 2 is pressed with the balance ( When the lending operation, the granting operation) is carried out, the loaned balls (the value to be paid) for the payout unit (for example, 1000 yen) are paid out from the payout nozzle 22 (the charge giving process), and the price is deducted from the balance. In addition, the money can receive the part corresponding to the payment processing of multiple times (for example, to 10,000 yen).

Since the gaming apparatus 2 has the counting unit, the player can accept the balls acquired by the player, and if accepted, manage them as balls, and the payout process (value giving process) with the balls as the value is also possible. If possible, it will be deducted from the amount of balls (the same number as the refunded balls) if refunded.
When the return button of the gaming apparatus 2 is pressed (the issue operation is accepted) with the balance and balls remaining, the general card 23 capable of specifying the balance and balls is issued. When the general card 23 is received, the balance and balls are taken over.

  The gaming device 2 performs money reception processing and consideration giving processing, value giving processing, serial communication with the relay device 3, balance, ball holding amount, number of loans, number of withdrawals, number of deposits and counting balls, and sales amount to be paid for the number of loans. And, various information such as acceptance and issue processing of general card 23 can be specified, but even if they are specified by pulse signal (for example, 1 pulse for every 1000 yen of payment, 1 pulse for every 100 yen of sales etc.) good.

  The management device 5 operates the microcomputer according to the program to display game data indicating the operation status of the game machine 1, and temporarily saves game media that the player has acquired by playing a game, on the day or It is possible to execute a ball storage service or the like that can be reused later in the game. In order to execute these services, the operating state of the gaming machine 1 is specified based on the gaming signals received from the gaming machine 1 and the gaming device 2 and the like, and gaming information is managed for each gaming machine 1.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show setting information which can be set by an operation input in the management device 5 and which is set also in the game apparatus 2 etc. by transmitting information. These setting information is setting information for performing abnormality detection related to the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows basic information, and the following items are set.
・ First starting mouth prize ball = number of winning balls for first starting mouth (Heso) 14 (unit starting granted value)
・ The second starting mouth prize ball = the number of winning balls of the second starting mouth (electric Chu) 15 (unit starting granted value)

FIG. 3 shows detection settings, in which the following items are set.
· Detection target = gaming information to be detected, base (all grant information) is out rate in the normal state, safe in the normal state (B safe (all grant detection information)) ÷ out in the normal state (B out (All assigned detection information)). BA (all grant information) is the exit rate in the special state (sweet), safe in the special state (B safe A (all grant detection information)) ÷ out in the special state (B out A (all grant detection information)) It asks by. BYmin is the out-of-pocket (exempt grant rate, exclusion grant information) excluding safe (start offer value) from start-up winnings (base exclusion rate, exclusion grant information), base-1st start mouth winning percentage × 1st start Worship ball-calculated by the second start mouth winning ratio × second start mouth prize ball. However, the first (second) starting opening winning ratio = the first (second) starting opening winning number / the number out (B out).

-Detection time = In setting information (Exclusion detection time information, all application detection time information) indicating the time to detect each detection target, the target indicates the target for specifying the time, and every time the target is updated by the reference value It detects that the detection time has come.
· Reference value = reference value of each detection target (exception addition reference value, all addition reference value), by comparing the detection target value at the detection time with this reference value ((detection target value is equal to or more than reference value) Or in case of excess) to identify anomalies.

  Skip reference value = a reference value for a detection time target for specifying whether or not to perform special detection 1 described later. By comparing the value of the detection time target with the skip reference value at the time of occurrence of the big hit, if the skip condition is satisfied (less than or less than the skip reference value), detection at the time of the big hit is not performed.

  Although not particularly illustrated, well-known settings such as so-called model setting are also performed in which the gaming machines 1 are divided into groups by machine type etc. in association with machine numbers, and FIG. 2 and FIG. There is.

  FIG. 4 summarizes the detection conditions. As the detection, special detection 1 and special detection 2 are set in addition to the periodic detection which is the detection time according to the detection time shown in FIG. 3. The special detection 1 detects both the base and the BA and BYmin when a big hit occurs, but the special detection 2 detects the base and the BA (subject is only the BA) when the sweet and dirty finish, but does not detect the BYmin. This is because for the BA including the start winning part, the reference value changes from BA to the base by shifting the gaming state from sweet to normal, so the detection has to be separated while BYmin is sweet Since the standard value can be made common to medium and normal (since the start winnings are excluded), it is possible to use regular detection even if it is not performed at the end of sweets so that the target game information does not satisfy the condition of regular detection. It is because detection is sufficient if waiting until the time when the condition is met.

  On the other hand, an initialization time (time to set a detection target period as a new target period) for setting target game information (detection information) for detection and a timer is set. The initialization time 1 indicates that it is at the detection time, but even if the initialization time 2 satisfies the skip condition, it indicates that the game information is to be initialized. When the special detection 1 is performed, initialization may be performed at the time of direct detection such as the big hit start time as the detection time, or it may be initialized at the indirect detection such as the big hit end time or both.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4, there are two detection targets: base (BA and BA) and BYmin (the base excluding the start-up winning part), and the detection time is as high as every 1000 out (the total grant detection) Target period), BYmin is every 5 minutes (exception detection target period), and detection is performed as regular detection as shown in Fig. 4 every time detection time comes, while exit rate and BYmin at the end of big hit, special state (sweet medium At the end of), detection of the exit rate is performed as special detection, but special detection skips detection when the skip condition shown in FIG. 3 is satisfied. That is, since the skip condition is satisfied when the detection information to the extent of detection can not be specified, the skip condition is set to suppress useless detection for a period in which the error is noticeable and can not be taken sufficiently.

In BYmin detection, detection at the end of sweetness is not performed as special detection. This is because, unlike the output rate, since BYmin can adopt a common reference value in the normal state and sweetness, detection information can be carried over at the time of transition from sweetness to the normal state.
When one of the detection rate and the BYmin detection is detected, only the detection information that is the detection target is initialized, and the other detection information is carried over (it is assumed as a continuous target period), but all are detected when abnormality is detected by that detection. Initialize the detection information of (Update to a new target period). This is because the influence of the confirmed abnormality detection is not reflected on the detection information not arriving at the detection time.

  The management device 5 manages detection information which is game information for performing detection by discriminating between the payout rate and BYmin, and an increment from the previous time when initialization time shown in FIG. Abnormality detection is performed by comparing with the reference value shown in FIG.

5 to 7 show the history of the storage area stored in the management device 5, and the following items are set. 5 to 7 may not be recorded as a history, but each information may be updated.
-Game state = state of game machine 1-Total = total value from start of business-For base and BA detection = Game information for detection (detection information)
・ BYmin = game information for detection (detection information)
・ Detection situation = Detection and detection result that became detection target (presence or absence of abnormality)

  In FIGS. 5 to 7, although detection information of the base and the BA is used in common, they may be divided. In addition, total out which is the total value of B out (normal time) and B out A (sweet medium) in total B out (in the same way as B safe) also indicates out other than big hit but it is classified You may. In addition, the total value (normal and sweet) is adopted for BYmin detection. Further, the number of starts 1 indicates the number of winnings to the first start port 14, and the number of starts 2 indicates the number of winnings on the second start port 15. These items can be output on the management apparatus 5 by display, printing, etc., including count information such as the number of times of detection for each detection target, the number of times of abnormality detection, and the abnormality detection rate.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the management device 5. Although FIG. 8 shows the operation of managing one gaming machine 1, in practice, all gaming machines 1 are simultaneously managed.
When the power is turned on and the operation starts, the management device 5 sets the big hit flag = 0 (S1: YES), whether the big hit signal input starts (S2: NO) or the sweet middle flag = 1 (S3: NO) To execute the normal standby flow whether the special status signal input start (S20: NO), the out signal or the safe signal or the start winning signal is input (S11: NO), or the regular detection time has come (S13: NO) become.

  When the business starts at 9 o'clock, as shown in FIG. 5, a normal state is stored as the “playing state”, and 0 which is an initial value is stored in all items. When the out signal or the safe signal or the start winning signal is input according to the game played by the player (S11: YES), the cumulative total and the detection information are updated (S12).

  At 9:05, it is determined that the regular detection time has come since 5 minutes have passed (S13: YES), and detection of the detection time is executed (S14: abnormality determination processing). That is, BYmin detection (exclusion grant determination processing) is executed as the detection time. As a result of the execution of the detection of BYmin, when it is not the abnormality detection (S15: NO), the detection information which is the detection target for the next detection is initialized (S27). In the example illustrated in FIG. 5, BYmin is stored as the “target” of the “detection status”, and nothing is stored as the “abnormal”.

When it becomes 9:10, since 5 minutes have elapsed, the detection of BYmin is executed again.
When 9:12, B-out becomes 1000, so it is determined that the regular detection time has come (S13: YES), and base detection is executed as detection of the detection time (S14). If not abnormal (S15) NO :) The detection information that has become the detection target in preparation for the next detection is initialized (S27).

  As described above, the BYmin detection is periodically performed every five minutes as the periodic detection, and the base detection is repeatedly performed every time the B-out becomes 1000. In the base detection, the corresponding game information is identified and displayed in yellow (shown by left diagonal lines in FIGS. 5 to 7). Here, if detection is performed, the detection information (base and for BA detection, for BYmin detection) that is the detection target is initialized, but without initializing, the detection information of each time by the increment from the previous detection time You may decide

  When a big hit occurs at 9:32 and a big hit signal starts to be input (S2: YES), the big hit flag is set to 1 (S22), and it is determined whether all skip conditions are satisfied (S23). When a big hit occurs at 9:32, the skip condition is not satisfied in the base detection (810 is 60% or more of the detection time reference value) in base detection, but it is the detection target, but the skip condition is satisfied in BYmin detection. (2 minutes when the elapsed time from 9:30 of the previous detection time is less than 60% of the detection time reference value), the detection target is skipped and detection is skipped. In this case, since all skip conditions are not satisfied (S23: NO), detection of skip conditions not satisfied, that is, base detection is executed (S24), and it is determined whether abnormality is detected (S25: special abnormality determination processing). If the abnormality is not detected (S25: NO), all detection information is initialized (S17).

Since the big hit flag becomes 1 after the big hit signal input starts (S1: NO), whether the big hit signal input ends (S18: NO), whether the out signal or the safe signal or the start winning signal is inputted (S11: NO), During the regular detection time (S13: NO), the jackpot standby flow is executed. It should be noted that since there is no detection target during the big hit, it may not be determined whether the regular detection time has come.
When it is time to end input of the big hit signal at 9:35 (S18: YES), the big hit flag is set to 0 (S19). Note that “T1 out” and “T1 safe” of “total” in FIGS. 5 to 7 respectively indicate out and safe during a big hit.

If the special status is also won at the time of jackpot winning, the special status signal input starts after completion of the input of the jackpot signal (S20: YES), so the sweet inside flag is set to 1 (S21).
When sweet hit is not the big hit signal input start (S2: NO), according to the sweet hit flag = 1 (S3: YES), special status signal input end (S4: NO), out signal or safe signal Alternatively, the start-up winning signal is input (S11: NO), or the sweetness waiting flow is performed whether the regular detection time has come (S13: NO). That is, even in sweetness, each detection is performed as usual, and game information is totaled according to the input of the game signal. And when regular detection time comes (S13: YES), detection of detection time is performed (S14).

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the BYmin detection is performed at 9:40 and 9:45 in sweet. Moreover, since BA became 1000 at 9:45, BA detection is performed as a detection time. When the BA detection is executed in sweetness, the corresponding game information is identified and displayed in green (shown by right hatching in FIG. 5).

  When the special state signal input is finished (S4: YES), it is determined whether the skip condition of BA is satisfied (S6). If the skip condition of BA is satisfied (S6: YES), detection information of BA detection is initialized (S10). If the skip condition of BA is not satisfied (S6: NO), BA detection (special detection 2) is performed in the abnormality detection (S8), and an abnormality notification is performed according to the abnormality detection (S9). After that, the detection information of the BA detection is initialized (S10), and the above-mentioned normal standby flow is executed. In this case, detection information of BYmin detection is carried over.

  At the start of the big hit at 9:46, since the skip conditions for both the out-rate detection and the BYmin detection are satisfied (S23: YES), the detection is skipped and all detection information is initialized (S17). After that, when it becomes sweet after the big hit end, and this sweet middle is finished at 9:58 (S4: YES), the skip condition of BA detection is not satisfied (S6: NO), BA detection is performed (S7) . In this case, the detection information of BA detection is initialized regardless of the presence or absence of the skip condition (S10), but the detection information of BYmin detection is not initialized, and the previous detection is performed at 9:59. An increment from 54 minutes is detected as detection information (S13, S14). After that, when a big hit occurs at 10:27 (S2: YES), neither the base detection nor the BYmin detection satisfy the skip condition (3 minutes, where the BYmin also becomes 60% from the previous detection, elapses) (S23: NO), Base detection and BYmin detection are performed (S24). At 10:44, abnormality is detected by BYmin detection (S25: YES). If an abnormality is detected, an abnormality is notified (S26), and all detection information is initialized (S17). As the anomaly notification, the corresponding game information is identified and displayed in red (shown by hatching in FIGS. 6 and 7). In this case, although the detection information of the base detection also indicates an abnormality (the output rate is 500%), no abnormality is detected because the detection timing has not come. However, detection information including the one for base detection is initialized by the abnormality detection of BYmin.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 7, at 11:24, the abnormality is detected by BYmin detection in sweetness, and the BA detection time is not the detection time, but even if it is the detection time, An anomaly can not be detected because it has not reached. That is, although the abnormality detection at 11:24 is detection information that greatly exceeds the reference value in BYmin, it is an abnormality that falls within the reference range in BA detection. Similarly, at 11:52, in the normal state, an abnormality is detected by BYmin detection, but within the reference range of what is being detected by BA at the end of the sweetness of 11:51 just before that, the abnormality is detected Not. However, an abnormality is detected at 11:52 on the basis of BYmin that is an increase from the previous detection time of 11:47 including the end of sweetness, that is, BYmin in which sweetness and the normal state are mixed. .

  Although the configuration for separately managing the detection information is illustrated, if the detection information can be identified, for example, the cumulative part of FIG. 4 and the detection timing and the target of the detection status can be identified, the increment from the previous detection for each type of detection It is not necessary to divide and manage the detection information again since it is possible to specify the detection information. As described above, it is not necessary to initialize detection information as long as the detection target period can be identified.

  Although not shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, base detection may be performed when the special detection 2 is changed from the normal state (S3: NO, S20: YES), and in this case, the BA As in the case where the skip condition is satisfied, the detection information of the targeted base is initialized, but the detection information of the BYmin detection is carried over.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
Since the management device 5 performs BYmin detection in the same manner as in the normal state even in sweetness, by including the start-up winning portion with respect to the gaming machine 1, BYmin excluding the starting-winning portion even in sweetness in which the payout ratio increases By performing the abnormality detection, the same abnormality detection as that in the normal state can be performed without considering the improvement of the start winning combination.

Since it is possible to set a common reference value for abnormality detection in the normal state and sweetness, it is possible to reduce the time and effort when setting the reference value for abnormality detection and the processing load on the system.
Since the game information for detection is carried over at the time of transition from sweet to normal state, appropriate detection can be performed without dividing the detection target period into darkness.

  By performing special detection when the normal state or sweet and medium is interrupted due to the occurrence of a big hit, abnormality determination is possible even when the detection target period is interrupted, but special detection is performed based on the presence or absence of the skip condition. By specifying whether or not to perform, it is possible to suppress dark detection when there is not a sufficient detection target period, or to suppress notification or error detection due to abnormality detection.

  By separately performing the detection rate of the base and the BA, in addition to providing a reference value according to the gaming state in the detection of emergence rate, it is possible to distinguish detection information by distinguishing from BYmin detection, when abnormality is detected by BYmin detection Since the detection information of the out-of-pocket detection is initialized, if there is no abnormality, the base for considering the unfair prize including the information for BYmin detection mainly considering the unfair prize other than the start prize and the starting prize and Maintain independence of abnormality detection from the information for BA detection, and when there is an abnormality, reduce the possibility of overlapping the period determined to be abnormal by one of the abnormality judgment processing and setting it as the detection target of another abnormality detection. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of false detection.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention can be modified or expanded as follows without being limited to the above embodiment.
As the detection timing, the output rate is out, and the timer BYmin is adopted as the detection time, but it is of course possible to adopt the timer as the output rate and the out as the BYmin. In addition, although it has been illustrated that the base detection and the like and the BYmin detection are targeted to different detection periods, a common detection period may be targeted.

Although a common reference value is set in the normal state and the special state in the BYmin detection, each may be set. In this case, when the gaming state shifts and detection information is carried over, any of the gaming state reference values may be adopted, but the period in which the detection information is specified or the detection information is large (or the detection period is long) A reference value in the gaming state may be adopted.
In the case where an abnormality is detected, it is exemplified that detection information other than the detection information as the target is also initialized, but there is also a game arcade that wants to confirm again, so it is not necessary to initialize other detection information. good.

  Since special detection is processing in the case where periodical detection is not satisfied, it is not always necessary to carry out. In addition, if not performed, the detection information may not be initialized in response to the occurrence of a big hit, but may carry over the detection information until returning to the same gaming state. In this case, the detection information of base detection and BA detection is distinguished. It is desirable to manage. Also, although it is simple detection, only special detection may be performed without periodic detection.

At the time of the big hit occurrence, it is good also as the detection time of the special detection as one of the end time of sweetness. Furthermore, the concept of performing a big hit at the time of big hit in the special detection 1 is included.
The same effect can be obtained by using the exclusion safety as a target of detection, but excluding the safe corresponding to the start-up winning from the safe or safe.

Although an example in which the abnormality detection is not performed when the skip condition is satisfied is illustrated, the abnormality notification may be performed but the abnormality detection may not be performed although the abnormality detection is performed when the skip condition is satisfied.
Either "excess" or "over" may be adopted as a comparison with a reference value. In addition, the expression “being less than” and “below” is a concept that the absolute value becomes “exceed” or “above” with respect to the reference value having the same positive / negative sign.

Even if the game arcade manager arbitrarily sets the setting information shown in FIG. 2 and the like as long as it is set in advance or from the manufacturer of the management apparatus 5, it is from the management server of the outside (for example, a chain store head office etc.) It may be downloaded and set, or the actual value may be set as it is. Further, all the illustrated game information may be specified directly by the game signal or may be specified indirectly by using a computing equation or the like.
Although the model has been exemplified as the gaming machine group, any gaming machine group may be targeted, such as, for example, gaming machine island units, rate units, or gaming machines in the entire game arcade may be one group.

Although a pachinko gaming machine can be exemplified as a target gaming machine, it goes without saying that a gaming machine other than the illustrated ones may be targeted. In this case, a so-called enclosed type game machine or the like that updates points on data according to a game without discharging game media can be assumed, so an expression such as game media such as balls and medals and game value including the points Used appropriately. In addition, as a start process, in addition to the symbol variation by the big hit lottery, the process to allow the winning to the V winning opening that the big hit is generated by winning, such as targeting the game machine to open so-called honey etc. Any process may be adopted as the process.
A part of the processing performed by the management device 5 may be performed by the gaming device 2 or the relay device 3 or the like. In addition, whether or not to adopt the exemplified configuration according to the setting may be appropriately changed, or the exemplified configuration including the modification may be combined in any way, and the configuration is appropriately excluded. Also good.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 2 is a gaming apparatus (setting means), 5 is a management device (detection information specifying means, setting means, abnormality determining means, output means), 8 is a game board surface, 14 is a first starting opening ( Starting port), 15 is a second starting port (starting port).
