Description

  The present invention relates to a game arcade system.

  When managing a game machine installed in a game arcade, it is necessary to evaluate whether the gaming machine contributes to the game arcade etc. by showing the operation out, etc. For example, in Patent Document 1, units such as one week from the introduction date It has been proposed to aggregate game information such as out for each period, specify the operation status, and use it for evaluation of the gaming machine.

JP, 2005-224424, A

  By the way, when evaluating a gaming machine, for example, the standard value based on the operation (out) average of all models is compared with the operation of the target model, and if the operation of the target model is higher than the standard value, the entire operation is raised. Evaluation is high, while if the operation of the target model is lower than the standard value, the overall operation can not be raised and it can be judged that the evaluation is low. In the past, evaluation was performed using only such operation, and other information is referred It remained to the extent that

  However, even if the operation is lower than the standard value, if gross profit can be secured, it can be judged that it contributes to the game arcade, and it is generally considered that it should not be evaluated only by operation. Since it can be adjusted to some extent on the game arcade side, if only securing gross profit is emphasized, there is a risk that the operation will fall more than necessary, and there is a risk that the manager of the game arcade will mislead in evaluation of gross profit only. . In addition, for example, low gross profit may be obtained when introducing a new machine, or low gross profit may be set intentionally such as emphasizing the operation of the gaming machine, and so on. Even if it mixes and evaluates, a game machine can not be evaluated appropriately, but improvement was calculated | required in this point.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a game arcade system capable of appropriately evaluating a gaming machine in consideration of both operation and gross profit. is there.

  According to the invention described in claim 1, it is specified that the general contribution of the model is ended on condition that the operation contribution is ended when there is no gross profit contribution, and the specific result is output, While reducing the risk of misleading the game arcade manager by evaluating only the gross profit, it is also possible to reduce the risk of specifying that the general contribution has been completed in an unintended manner even for the intentionally low gross profit model. Can. As described above, the gaming machine can be properly evaluated in consideration of both operation and gross profit.

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 a plurality of types) of gaming machines 1 are installed in the gaming arcade A, and gaming machines 2 are installed corresponding to the respective gaming machines 1. The game machine 1 and the game apparatus 2 are connected to the relay device 3 two by two, and the relay device 3 manages the management device 5 (management means, calculation means, setting means, operation contribution specifying means, general contribution specifying via the LAN 4 Means, output means, and equivalent to on-site management means). In addition, a POS and a balance settlement machine (none of which are shown) are also installed in the game arcade A, and these POS and the balance settlement machine are also connected to the management device 5 via the LAN 4. Although not shown in FIG. 1, several hundreds of gaming machines 1 are, for example, managed by the management apparatus 5 in practice. The management device 5 is installed in, for example, an office or the like in the game arcade A, and a keyboard 6, a monitor 7, a printer (not shown) and the like operated by a manager of the game arcade are connected. The management device 5 inputs the game signal output from the game machine side (the game machine 1, the game machine 2, etc.), so that the game data for each game machine 1, the personal data for each member registered, the game machine It manages the operation state and the like of 1 and game device 2 and the like.

  In the game arcade system, another game arcade having a configuration similar to that of the game machine 1, the game apparatus 2, the relay device 3, the LAN 4 and the management device 5 installed in the game arcade A (a game arcade in the example of FIG. B, it is installed also in the game center C). Each management device 5 installed in each of the game arcades A to C is a game information server 9 installed separately from each of the game arcades A to C via the public line 8 such as Internet or VPN connection. It is connected to the management means and server management means), and is configured to be able to communicate various signals and various information with the game information server 9 via the public line 8 and the like.

  The gaming machine 1 is a CR (card reader) pachinko gaming machine, and has an operation handle 11, an upper tray 12, and a lower tray 13, which constitute a launcher for firing balls on the board 10. 14, a common drawing winning opening 15, a first starting opening 16, a second starting opening 17, and a large winning opening 18.

The gaming machine 1 operates as described below.
(1) The first starting opening 16 is a winning opening (the so-called winning winning opening) in which the winning rate does not change, and the second starting opening 17 is the winning opening (the so-called electric chow) in which the winning ratio changes. A big hit lottery is performed according to winning (start winning) to each starting opening 16, 17, and the lottery result is notified by the symbol variation performed on the liquid crystal display unit 14, and it becomes a big hit according to the variation result.
(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 jackpot lottery is 1/260, and the probability change rate, which is the ratio of the jackpot becoming a positive change state (positive change) after that, becomes a positive change (positive change big hit) (both normal state and positive change state) ) 66.6%. When the jackpot occurs, the big winning opening 18 is opened for the corresponding round (R). The upper limit winning number for 1R is nine, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R is ended when either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied.

(4) The corresponding rounds are also drawn in the same way as 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 16 However, 4R is 10%, 15R is 90% when winning a prize in the second starting opening 17, and the reserve digesting priority of the symbol variation according to the winning is for the second starting opening than the first starting opening 16. Is set higher.
(5) During the definite change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/74, and the winning ratio to each starting opening 16, 17 becomes high when it becomes short (short). In addition, since the definite change will continue until the next big hit, it will continue until a big hit (usually a big hit) that becomes a normal gaming state (normal state) which is a state that is neither a big hit nor a big hit after a big hit occurs It will be in a short time until the symbol variation of
(6) The second starting opening 17 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 15 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 open 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 17 is increased. For example, among the plurality of types of gaming machines 1 installed in the game arcade A, the above illustrates the type A, but, for example, in the case of type B, round distribution is different, etc. .

The gaming machine 1 and the peripheral devices attached to the gaming machine 1 output 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 openings 16 and 17. .
Out signal = It is a signal which can specify the consumption value (out) outputted from the out box which collects the consumption balls. Since one pulse is output for consumption (use, impact, recovery) balls 10, “number of out signals × 10” is specified as out. A signal output from the gaming machine 1 may be used.
Safe signal = a signal capable of specifying the prize award value (safe) output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is output for 10 balls of payout, “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. Note that the replenishment signal output 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, product operation, unit game) and start (start process) in the liquid crystal display unit 14 (characters) that fluctuates (acts) by start winnings (specific winnings) output from the gaming machine 1 Number) can be identified. Since it is output at the time of symbol variation determination, the start process is specified according to the signal input, and “start signal × 1” is specified as the number of times of start (number of start processes). In addition, it is good also as a signal which shows the prize-winning to the 1st starting opening 16 or the 2nd starting opening 17. FIG.
The jackpot signal = a signal capable of specifying the jackpot period output from the gaming machine 1. Since the state signal is output in level during the jackpot, the input of the jackpot signal is identified as being a jackpot.
Special state signal = a signal capable of specifying a special state (sweet sweet) output from the gaming machine 1. Since the level signal is outputted during the special state (when the time is short (including the probability change)) in which the winning rate of the second starting port 17 is improved, the input of the special state signal is specified as the special state. Also, a period in which neither the jackpot signal nor the special state signal is input is specified as the normal state.

  The gaming apparatus 2 is a lending machine with a so-called machine counting function, and a status indicator light 19 indicating the gaming status of the gaming machine 1, a coin insertion slot 20 into which money (monetary value, valuable value) is inserted, from the player Touch panel liquid crystal display unit 21 which receives game input such as symbol variation frequency (number of times of start) and jackpot probability etc. along with the progress of the game, and balls (including balls for members, earned value , Dispensing button 22 for paying out the valuable value, Dispensing nozzle 23 through which the disbursed ball passes, Card insertion slot 24 where a general card or a member card is inserted, Positioned below lower tray 13 of gaming machine 1 The removable counting tray 25 is provided.

The gaming device 2 has the following functions.
(1) When money is received (money acceptance processing), the payment amount is displayed on both the gaming machine 1 and the gaming apparatus 2 and the lending balls (the value given for consideration) for one lending unit (for example, 500 yen) The payment amount is to be paid out from 1 (the charge giving process), and according to the charge giving process, the display of the deposit amount is made the display of the balance excluding the charge for the loan balls. Money can be accepted for a plurality of payment processing (for example, up to 10,000 yen). Then, when the lending button of the gaming machine 1 is pressed (lending operation, giving operation) in a state where there is a balance, the lending balls for one unit of lending are paid out from the gaming machine 1, and the compensation amount is deducted from the balance. In addition, it also has a so-called machine counting function, and it is possible to count the obtained balls acquired by the player, and to repay the balls again for the counted acquired balls, and the balls excluding the repayment amount It is also possible to specify the number as a ball.

(2) When the return button of the gaming machine 1 is pressed (issuing operation) with the balance and balls remaining, a general card capable of specifying the remaining balls and balls is issued. It should be noted that split issuance in which the balance or a part of the balls is to be issued is not possible for simplification of the description, but it may be possible.
(3) Through the serial communication (transmission of sales signal) with the relay device 3, the management device 5 performs money acceptance processing and compensation processing, balance and the number of loans, the amount paid, the number of loans, and the sales for compensation. Although it is possible to specify acceptance and issue processing of forehead, counting balls, balls, refund balls, and general cards, these may be pulse signals (for example, 1 pulse for every 1000 yen of payment, 1 pulse for every 100 yen of sales, etc.) It can be identified.

  The management device 5 tabulates the game information on a gaming machine basis as in the conventional case, and further tabulates on a model basis as in the game information tabulation (model A) shown in FIG. As well known, the management apparatus 5 also performs setting such as model setting for correlating a machine number with a model.

The meaning of each item in the game information tabulation (type A) shown in FIG. 2 is as follows. Note that “average” is an average of gaming machines for model A.
It is the number of game balls (consumption value) consumed by the gaming machine 1 specified by the out = out signal.
Safe = the number of game balls (prize award value) awarded in accordance with the prize winning on the gaming machine 1 specified by the safe signal.
Sales ball = the number of game balls (the number of loaned balls, the value to be paid) given as the value of money by the corresponding game device 2 specified by the sales signal.

Table gross profit = operating profit on the game arcade side according to the game. It is a value determined by the formula of "sales amount-earned balls x rental unit price x cost ratio". In addition, the calculation is performed with acquired balls (acquired value) = sales balls + safe-out, sales amount = sales balls × rental unit cost, rental unit cost = 4 yen, and cost rate = 75%.
Delivery rate = ratio of safe to out (payout rate). It is a value determined by the expression of "safety out".
The unit price of balls is the sales amount per out. It is a value determined by the formula of "sales amount ÷ out".
Ball margin = Gross margin per out. It is a value obtained by the equation of "Gross profit out".
It is a ratio of the profit and loss amount (loss ball) of the game arcade side to the sales amount (sales amount) (the sales amount). It is a value obtained by the calculation formula of “earning ball sales ball”.
Such tabulation is stored for a predetermined period (for example, 400 days). In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that there is a game arcade without a replay system based on so-called storage balls, but if it is a game arcade with a replay system, calculation is made by including replay balls in sales balls. Is desirable.

  The management device 5 counts game information by unit period (one week) from the introduction date of the model based on the game information tabulation (model A) shown in FIG. 2 and manages it as single game information, as shown in FIG. Create a form for the on-site model contribution (Model A) shown. In FIG. 3, out (operation information) and gross profit (gross profit information) indicate the average value per one business day of FIG. 2 per unit, and the number indicates the number installed in one business day, and the period average out Indicates the average value of outs per vehicle from the introduction date to the end date of the corresponding period, and the cumulative gross margin is the average per one business day from the introduction date to the end date of the corresponding period Cumulative gross profit is shown.

  Cumulative gross profit standard value (for example, 300,000 yen) which set the purchase price of the gaming machine 1 as a standard is set in cumulative gross profit, compare cumulative gross profit standard value and cumulative gross profit standard value, cumulative gross profit The identification output is performed when the accumulated gross profit reference value is reached (the fourth week and later in the example of FIG. 3). The out standard value (operation standard information) which set the average value of the out of the whole game arcade to the standard is set according to unit period, for example, “17000” is set in the 5th week, out according to unit period (unit operation information) And out reference value, and when out does not reach the out reference value, identification output is made (5 weeks and after in the example of FIG. 3). The gross profit reference value (gross profit reference information) is set for each unit period as a standard for the gross profit of the whole game arcade, and for example, “4000 yen” is set for the eighth term. The table gross profit (unit gross profit information) is compared with the gross profit reference value for each unit period, and identification output is performed when the table gross profit has not reached the table gross profit reference value (8 in the example of FIG. 3). After the week). In FIG. 3, the identification output is indicated by hatching. The same applies to FIGS. 4 and 5 described later.

  In FIG. 3, the end of the out contribution (the end of the operation contribution) is identified in the unit period in which the out does not reach the out reference value for the first time after the introduction date (the fifth week in the example of FIG. 3) To identify the end of the overall contribution in the unit period where the gross profit does not reach the gross profit standard value for the first time after the end of contribution (the gross contribution has not been made). (The eighth week in the example of FIG. 3). In FIG. 3, although the ninth week after the end of the comprehensive contribution is not counted, the gaming machine 1 is installed, and if the game information can be identified, the unit period after the end of the comprehensive contribution is also counted As well. Further, although the above illustrates the form contribution of the in-house type contribution of the model A, the form contribution of the in-apparatus type contribution can be created similarly for models other than the type A.

  The game information server 9 can communicate with the management device 5 of each game arcade via the public line 8 or the like as described above, and each game arcade tally such as the game information tally (type A) shown in FIG. 2 By receiving from the management device 5 and managing it as general game information, a form of the server type contribution (type A) shown in FIG. 4 is created in the same manner as the on-site type contribution shown in FIG. The game information server 9 can output the created server model contribution (model A) slip on a viewing terminal such as a management device 5 of each game arcade or a personal computer owned by the administrator of the game arcade. Although the gaming information server 9 uses the average value of all the models to be aggregated as a reference value, as the introduced week may differ for each gaming place as described later, the gaming information of each week is always updated. , The specific target of contribution is the latest week (latest unit period) and the previous week (previous unit period of the latest unit period).

  Items such as out and table gross profit shown in FIG. 4 are the same as the items shown in FIG. The accumulated gross profit standard value is set to the average value (for example, 310,000 yen) of the purchase price of the assumed gaming machine 1, and the out standard value is the average out of all models to be counted (per one business day, For example, “16,500” is set in the third week, and the gross profit reference value is set to the average gross profit of all models to be aggregated (for example, “3800” in the ninth week for one business day). The cumulative gross margin, the out, and the gross gross margin are compared with the respective reference values and identified and output as in FIG.

  Here, even if it is the same model, the introduction date may differ depending on each game arcade, and since the tabulation by unit period is performed by the elapsed period from the introduction date, for example, the period of the first week is March 2 There will be a play area for the day of the week and a play area for the week of March 9 (the day after March 2 to 1 week later). Thus, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, although the tallying of the 9th week is possible, tallying from the 1st week to the 8th week may be updated, but the end of contribution is specified with the latest unit period The previous unit period (weeks 9 and 8 in the example of FIG. 4) is targeted, and even if it falls below the reference value in the week before that, the end of contribution is not specified retroactively. This is because, for example, when a model is introduced quite late from the introduction of a general new unit, such as second-hand purchases, the attractiveness as a new unit may decline and out etc may tend to fall more than at the time of new unit. The end is to reduce the risk of being identified. Of course, only the latest unit period may be used. In addition, the number may be an average number per working day of the total number in each unit period, or may be the number at the end of each unit period. Further, in the case of the game arcade where there was an increase, the date of introduction as a new base is the introduction date, so if, for example, it is increased in the third week, the increase will be targeted from the third week.

  Here, the end of the contribution is supplemented, including FIG. 3 described above. Once the contribution is over, the standard value may be exceeded, but even in that case, the continuation of contribution is not specified without overturning the identification of the end of contribution. Likewise, supplement the reference value. The reference value is set by referring to the entire game information for each unit period, but the entire game information may be only for the corresponding unit period, or it corresponds from the unit period which is traced back from the corresponding unit period for a predetermined period. The unit period may be targeted. For example, in the case of the eighth week, the whole average value may be specified for the fifth week to the eighth week. In this case, for example, in the third week, the 0th week to the 3rd week are targeted, and the corresponding model is not installed in the 0th week, but even in this case, it is possible to specify the overall average value . When specifying the reference value in this manner, a unit period in which the corresponding model is not installed may be targeted.

  Comparing Fig. 4 and Fig. 3, in Fig. 3 the end of the out contribution is the fifth week, and the end of the overall contribution is the eighth week, while in Fig. 4 the end of the out contribution is the third week. The end of contribution is nine weeks. This is shown in Figure 3 in the first week and second week to keep the gross margin low (in the example of Figure 3 the first week is "0.33", the second week is "0.48") to contribute out Although it could be maintained up to the 4th week, the overall contribution will be made earlier by making the ball gross profit similar to Figure 4 after the 4th week (the 4th week is “0.62” in the example of Figure 4). It can be understood that it has ended.

FIG. 5 shows a form of the server model contribution (model B) created by the game information server 9 as in FIG. Although the gross profit on the fourth week is lower than the gross profit standard value in the 5th week in Fig. 5, the out is not lower than the out standard value. Show that they are making a comprehensive contribution. FIG. 5 shows data for the 30th week, which is only the 10th week and is the latest week as MAX week. The data after the 10th week may not be output or may be output by scrolling or the like. Moreover, although the gross profit is negative business in the first week in FIG. 5 in FIG. 5, the out is reached as the out standard value, so it is identified as being comprehensively contributing, and the second week, the third week and so on Although the interest rate reaches the gross profit standard value, after the 4th week, the gross profit standard value has not reached the gross profit standard value, but the out remains at the out standard value, so it is identified as being comprehensively contributing. Similarly, at the 30th week, the gross profit does not reach the gross profit standard value, but the out is still at the out standard value, so that it is specified as a comprehensive contribution. Such a tendency is a tendency that is often seen in the case of excellent models that are expected to operate for a long time from game arcades. In other words, at the time of the new base, operating in red deficit and attaching the image of the model, after that, while expecting a little gross profit of the machine, it is judged that long-term operation can be obtained, low gross profit again It becomes a trend of the model which is expected to operate at long term operation. In this case, it should not be specified that the overall contribution has ended after the first week or the fourth week, when the gross profit of the game falls below the gross profit standard value, as it is an image that the game arcade continues to contribute. As described above, since it is determined that the overall contribution has ended on condition that the out contribution has ended (when the gross contribution has ended), the contribution identification according to the actual image may be performed. It becomes possible. In addition, by identifying and outputting weeks where gross profit is not contributing, it is time to carefully operate the target model as low gross profit by continuing the out, but contributing 4 weeks to which gross profit is not contributing. It will be possible to grasp what it is good to see.
In addition, although omitted in FIGS. 3 to 5, the model name, the introduction date, the out contribution continuation or end week, and the general contribution continuation or end week are output in correspondence with the above-described game information on the left side of the item. It is good.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
Compare out and out reference values on a weekly basis to determine whether out contribution has ended and to determine whether gross contribution is in progress by comparing gross margin to gross basis value on a weekly basis And, if the gross contribution is not contributed, it is specified that the general contribution is finished on condition of the end of the out contribution, and the specified result is outputted. Therefore, the manager of the game arcade is evaluated by the gross profit evaluation. In addition to reducing the risk of misleading, it is also possible to reduce the risk of specifying that general contribution has ended without a problem for models with low gross profit intentionally, taking into account both out and gross profit. The gaming machine 1 can be properly evaluated above.

  The gaming information server 9 tabulates the gaming information count of each gaming place, and sets the out reference value and the gross profit reference value on the basis of the average of the outs and the gross profit in a plurality of types, so that a plurality of gaming centers The end of the general contribution can be specified for the game machine 1 installed in the game machine 1, and the game machine 1 can be properly evaluated after eliminating the environment unique to the game arcade such as the customer base of the game customer.

  Set the out reference value and the gross profit reference value based on the average of game information for the latest week or the week from the latest week to the week preceding the given period, and select the latest week and both the latest week and the previous week Since the end of the operation contribution and the general contribution is specified as an object, for example, the game machine 1 is purchased second-hand at a specific game arcade, and the contribution is made by introducing the game machine 1 later than the time of the new game. Even in the case where it is indicated that the contribution is ended by the game information in the week in which the end of the is not specified, it is possible to reduce the possibility of identifying the end of contribution retroactively.

Since the week which did not contribute gross profit was output so as to be identifiable in the week before the end of the comprehensive contribution, for the model which was intentionally low gross profit (with low gross profit margin) at any time It can be grasped from the low profit margin etc.
Since the week in which the out contribution ended and the week in which the comprehensive contribution ended is output so as to be identifiable, grasping the end of the conventional out contribution by the week in which the out contribution ended, it is possible to capture the gross profit It is possible to grasp the time when it takes, and it is possible to grasp the time when it becomes difficult to take gross profit by the model by the week when the general contribution is finished.
Since the week in which the general contribution ends for each of the single game information and the general game information is output so as to be identifiable, by comparing the weeks in which the individual general contribution ends, the model is effectively operated It is possible to obtain indicators such as

The present invention is not limited only to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
Although out is illustrated as operation information, since it shows an operation situation even if it is start, operation time, etc., it can be operation information. Similarly, the table gross profit has been illustrated as gross profit information, but a ball gross profit or a theoretical gross profit (a gross profit assumed to be obtained when a big hit etc. occurs without a big hit lottery lottery) etc. Other than gross profit gross profit information may be adopted.

The manager of the game arcade may arbitrarily set each setting value by an operation input, or may be set in advance by the manufacturer of the management apparatus 5, or from an external server (for example, a chain store headquarters etc.) The setting information may be downloaded and set.
As the reference value, the average value may be adopted as it is or, for example, fractions of the average value may be rounded off or the like, and may be set based on the average value without using an operation input, or as described above You may set it. Furthermore, although the average value is specified by the weighted average value of the game information of the unit period by specifying the average value by the total value in the target period and the total total number of units, the average value other than the weighted average value is adopted Also good.

Although the contribution specification of the game arcade unit is specified by the reference value based on the average value of the game arcade unit, it may be specified by the reference value based on the average value on the server. In addition, game arcades with similar gross profit information and operation information and models with similar specifications are grouped, and the average value of the group is used as a reference, and if there are multiple averages, the reference value is based on other averages. You may set it.
As gaming information for each unit time, for example, the introduction day of the gaming machine or New Year's Eve, etc. may perform so-called time business where the operating time is shorter than usual, so conditions for excluding time business etc. as appropriate including operation input etc. The game information for each unit period may be added up after excluding the period in which the above is established from the target period.

All the illustrated game information may be specified directly by the input signal or may be specified indirectly using a computing equation. Further, although a pulse signal is illustrated as a game signal, it may be a signal input by serial communication or the like.
As long as the type of the gaming machine 1 is indicated, such as grouping by rate, maker, etc., as the model, the model may be classified according to any classification.
The numerical value, the number of digits, the item, and the like are examples, and any numerical value may be adopted. In addition, any output mode may be used, such as adding a symbol to the identification output as well as illustrated, and at least printing and display output are assumed as the output.

Either of the above and the excess may be adopted, and the expression of "achieved" or the like corresponds to any of "become more than" or "exceeded". The same applies to the following and below, and expressions such as "not reached" are expressions corresponding to both "below" or "below."
The target gaming machine 1 can adopt a pachinko gaming machine other than the illustrated pachinko gaming machine, a slot machine, etc., and can also adopt a so-called enclosed gaming machine etc. that manages gaming media with data only. . In addition, in consideration of a so-called enclosed type, game media are expressed as game value as needed.
The relay device 3 or the game device 2 may perform part of the processing performed by the management device 5. Also, the processing performed by the gaming information server 9 is performed by the management device 5, the processing performed by the management device 5 is performed by the gaming information server 9, and the server shown in FIG. , May be configured how. Furthermore, the illustrated configurations may be combined in any manner, including modified examples, or configurations may be provided that are not adopted as appropriate.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 5 is a management device (management means, calculation means, setting means, operation contribution specifying means, integrated contribution specifying means, output means, in-place management means), 9 is a game information server (management means, server Management means).
