Description

  The present invention relates to a game arcade system.

  Conventionally, in order to check the state of a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine in the game arcade system, game information such as the payout rate is managed in association with the gaming state. For example, in patent document 1, the normal state and sweetness are The payout rate is managed as a “base” by dividing according to a mode (so-called short time, hereinafter, short time) and the like, and presented as an index for confirming the state of the gaming machine.

  Here, there is also a gaming state called a definite variation state in which the big hit probability is improved, but this may also be managed as a short state if time is short, otherwise it may be managed as a normal state, these are special state signals output from the gaming machine side Both were classified based on being classified and output depending on whether or not it involves time saving.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 09-168657

By the way, in recent years, gaming machines having game characteristics different from conventional ones are appearing. That is, gaming machines are being introduced which can generate a small hit rush state in which the player is made to obtain so-called small hits frequently as a game state.
In this small hit rush state, since the payout rate is different from any of the above-mentioned gaming states, management etc. are required to be distinguished from them, but the special status signal outputted from the gaming machine side is outputted in common with time saving Therefore, it is difficult to classify, and it may be difficult to check the state of the gaming machine one step at a time.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is that the first special state and the second special state which are special states more advantageous to the player than the normal state correspond to the common special state signal. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game arcade system capable of properly confirming the state of a gaming machine.

  According to the invention of claim 1, even if the first special state and the second special state correspond to the common special state signal, it is possible to appropriately check the state.

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 game machines 1 are installed in the game arcade, and game machines 2 and information display devices 3 are installed corresponding to each game machine 1. The gaming machine 1, the gaming apparatus 2 and the information display device 3 are connected to the management device 6 (output means) via the relay device 4 (input means, period specifying means, period dividing means, determination information specifying means, state specifying means) and the LAN 5. , Management means, setting means, correction means). The management device 6 receives a game signal output from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the gaming device 2, etc.), and manages gaming data for each gaming machine 1, personal data for each member registered as a member, and the like. A POS and a balance settlement machine (none of which are shown) are also installed in the game arcade, and these POS and the balance settlement machine are also connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5. Although not shown in FIG. 1, several hundred gaming machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 6, for example.

  The management device 6 is installed in, for example, an office or the like in the game arcade, and a keyboard 7, a monitor 8, a printer (not shown) and the like operated by a manager of the game arcade are connected. The management device 6 manages and manages game information for each gaming machine 1 by specifying the operating states of the gaming machine 1 and the gaming device 2 based on gaming signals input from the gaming machine 1 and the gaming device 2 etc. Display and print out for people with disabilities.

The gaming machine 1 is a CR (card reader) pachinko machine, and as shown in FIG. 2, has an operation handle 10, an upper tray 11, and a lower tray 12, which constitute a launcher for firing balls on the board surface 9. The tray 11 is provided with a balance display unit 13, a lending button 14 and a return button 15, and the board 9 has a common drawing prize port 16, a common drawing display unit 17, a common drawing hold display unit 18 and a special drawing display unit 19. A first hold number display unit 20, a second hold number display unit 21, a general winning opening 22, a first starting opening 23, a second starting opening 24, and a large winning opening 25 are provided.
The gaming machine 1 operates as described below.

  (1) The first starting opening 23 is a winning opening where the winning rate does not change (a so-called winning slot), and the second starting opening 24 is a winning opening where a winning rate changes (a so-called electric chow). A big hit lottery is performed according to the winning (start winning) to each starting opening 23, 24 and the lottery result is informed by symbol variation performed in the special prize display section 19, 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 the state where the number of symbol variations being held (number of holdings) is the upper limit, the symbol variation is not held and when the second starting opening 24 is held, the first starting opening 23 is held. Execute the pending symbol variation prior to.

  (3) The winning probability (big hit probability) of the big hit lottery is 1/300, and when the big hit occurs, the big winning opening 25 is opened for 10 rounds (R). The upper limit winning number for 1R is 10, 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. In addition, although the game machine which does not perform what is called round distribution was illustrated, it is good also as object for the game machine which performs round distribution.

  (4) When the big hit is over (special condition occurrence condition is satisfied), it becomes a definite change (hereinafter, ST, special status period), and during ST the big hit probability improves to 1/74 and the winning ratio of the second starting opening 24 becomes It becomes short time (hereinafter referred to as short time) when it goes high. In ST, by the distribution lottery, it becomes a small hit rush state (hereinafter referred to as rush) in which a small hit (specific state) frequently appears in a part or all of the period. In addition, ST continues until the next big hit occurs or the symbol fluctuation is performed 100 times, and it becomes a normal state after that.

  (5) The second starting opening 24 is in the open state with a high winning rate when the normal symbol (general drawing) that fluctuates according to the winning on the regular drawing winning opening 16 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 longer, so that the winning rate of the second starting port 24 is higher.

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 23, 24. .
-Out signal = a signal that can identify the consumption value (out) output from the out box for collecting consumption balls (operation signal). 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. A signal to be output at the time of winning a prize is desirable as an output time, but it may be a signal to be output at the completion of payout. Also, the replenishment signal output from the replenishment device may be a safe signal.

  Start winning signal = signal capable of specifying the winning openings (start winning, S winning) to the starting openings 23, 24 output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is outputted per winning combination to the starting openings 23, 24, the starting winning combination is specified according to the signal input (starting signal).

  -Symbol fluctuation signal = a signal capable of specifying symbol fluctuation (character product operation, unit game, S) in the special award display portion (character item) 19 which is fluctuated (activated) by the start winning. Since it is output at the time of symbol variation determination, symbol variation is specified according to a signal input (unit game signal, 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 the special status (sweet sweet) output from the gaming machine 1. During the special conditions (including during a short time, during rushing) that the winning rate of the second starting opening 24 is improved, depending on the previous gaming state (continuation of the signal level) during a small hit, identification of the small hit is Since it is a state signal that is output to the level (impossible), the special state signal input is identified as being in the special state. Also, a period during which neither the jackpot signal nor the special state signal is received is specified as the normal state.

  In short, at the time of the special state ST which is a definite change of the number of times, the gaming machine 1 is a state in which a small hit frequently appears (a special state period specified to correspond to the first special state) and a normal other than the rush Transition to either of the special states of time (the special state period specified to correspond to the second special state), but since the special state signal is output in common, the division of both by the state signal Is impossible.

Next, ST will be described.
When a big hit occurs, the gaming machine 1 is in a special state after the big hit and becomes ST until 100 symbol changes are made. In ST, 0, 10, 30, 50, and 100 distribution lotterys are performed, and from the start of ST until the symbol change is performed for the number of times won, definite variation and time-saving remain combined, but from then on (In the case of 0 times, in addition to the definite change and the short time, the small hit rush state (hereinafter referred to as rush (first special state)) where small hits frequently appear (following, ST not rush) time short (second special State)). In this rush, small hits (occurring at a probability of 1/300 in the normal state and opening the big winning opening 25 for 1.8 seconds) occur at a probability of 1 / 1.6, but ST ends The rush will continue. That is, the rush is positioned as a further special state in part or all of the period during ST. In addition, during the big hit and during the small hit does not do symbol fluctuation.

  Here, the definition of rush may be a state in which the small hit probability is improved, but during ST, the small hit probability is uniformly improved, but it is difficult to win the large winning opening 25 even in a small hit other than rush. Since a game machine that can be easily won in a rush can be assumed, when targeting a game machine of such a configuration, the probability of a small hit is improved over the normal state, while the large winning opening 25 is more than time-saving. A condition in which the percentage of winnings on the game improves may be defined as a rush, in which case the rush includes small hits that occur during the rush. That is, rush can be defined as a gaming state in which the percentage of occurrence of small hits or the percentage of winning on the large winning opening 25 when a small hit occurs is higher than the time saving. It should be noted that although it has been exemplified that the time is short to the rush at the time of ST, a game machine that is short after the rush or a game machine that can not generate a small hit at the short time may be targeted.

  FIG. 3 shows the transition of the state of the gaming machine 1, showing each state of big hit, small hit, rush, time saving, and normal state with corresponding levels, and the actual output voltage for the big hit signal and the special state signal. Is shown at the level corresponding to In this case, ST (the entire period of the special state) corresponds to the circled numbers 3, 4, 6, 8, 9; the short time corresponds to the circled numbers 3, 8; and the rush corresponds to the circled numbers 4, 6 and 9. In addition, the period of 6 of a circle number represents that the whole period of ST is a rush.

  The big hit signal is outputted during the big hit, that is, during the round numbers 2, 5 and 7 in the figure, and the special status signal is either big hit, rush or time short, ie, during the round numbers 2-9. Since these signals are output, it becomes possible to identify that either rush or time-saving special conditions have been made in the period 3, 4, 6, 8, or 9 of the circled numbers, but any special conditions It is not possible to specify the period division between time saving and rushing. Note that a special state signal may be adopted which does not target during a big hit.

  As for the special status signal, it depends on the previous gaming status during the small hit (continues the signal level), so it will be output even during the small hit at ST, but it will not be output even during the small hit under the normal condition, but the small hit time In order to output the special state signal, the special state signal may be output when a small hit occurs in the normal state. In addition, although the game machine which becomes the ST of the number cut off was illustrated, the game machine which rushes at part of normal definite change and time short which is not ST, the game machine which distributes ST itself, or rush and time A game may be targeted for not performing a sorting lottery, and if the rush in a special state that can not be classified according to the state signal and other states are classified, even one of the time-saving and the definite variation as a special state may be Other special states may be targeted as well as states advantageous to players other than the player. In the example, the special condition occurrence condition is satisfied by the end of the big hit, but for example, the special condition is satisfied only when a specific big hit (so-called probability variation big hit etc.) is finished, or a specific number as a so-called ceiling function (for example, The special condition generation condition may be any condition as long as it is set in advance as a special condition generation condition, such as a special condition generation condition is established when a big hit does not occur even if symbol variation is performed 1000 times).

  The gaming apparatus 2 has a status display section 26 indicating the gaming status of the gaming machine 1 and the status of the gaming apparatus 2, a bill insertion slot 27 into which a bill (monetary value) is inserted, and an operation input from the player. The liquid crystal display unit 28 of touch panel type that displays game data such as symbol variation frequency (number of times of start) and jackpot probability, and lending information indicating the lending status in the gaming apparatus 2, payout for dispensing balls and balls It has a button 29, a dispensing nozzle 30 through which the dispensed balls pass, a card insertion slot 31 into which a general card and a membership card are inserted, and a removable counting tray 32 located below the lower tray 12 of the gaming machine 1 .

  The gaming apparatus 2 is a lending machine with a so-called machine counting function, and of the received money (balance), the balance obtained by subtracting the consideration for lending and the remaining balls counted out of the replayed balls. This is an apparatus capable of issuing (all issues) a general card capable of identifying a ball. The balance indicates the usable amount (remaining monetary value) of the player excluding the counter value (the consideration for the lending process) for which the lending process has been performed from the monetary amount deposited by the player. The number of balls indicates the game value acquired by the player by the game, and the game value obtained by excluding the game value provided by the replay processing from the counted game value and the game value used as the compensation for the exchanged premium Is shown. The balls stored in the general card are settled at POS, and the balance is settled at the balance adjustment machine.

  That is, when the gaming apparatus 2 receives money (money accepting process), the payment amount is added to the balance and displayed on both the gaming machine 1 and the gaming apparatus 2, and the gaming machine 1 is loaned with the balance being present. When the button 14 is pressed (lending operation, giving operation), the lending balls (value for consideration) for 1 unit of loan (for example, 500 yen) are paid out from the gaming machine 1 (value for money giving processing) Deducted from. In addition, money can receive the part corresponding to a plurality of compensation processing (for example, up to 10,000 yen).

  When the counting ball is accepted, the counting ball is specified as a ball and it is possible to pay back the ball according to the depression of the payout button 29 (replay processing of the ball), and when the ball is refunded, the ball is refunded The balls of the consideration (for example, the same number as the number of refunded balls) are subtracted. When the return button 15 of the gaming machine 1 is pressed (the issue operation is accepted) with the balance and the balls remaining, a ball-bearing ticket capable of specifying the balance and balls stocked in the gaming apparatus 2 is issued. In addition, it is also possible to issue divided issues in which only part of the balls and the balance are to be issued. In addition, if you receive a ball-bearing ticket, take over the balance and ball-bearing.

  The gaming device 2 performs money reception processing and payment processing with the management device 6 through serial communication with the relay device 4, balance and ball, number of borrowed balls, number of refunded balls, deposit amount, number of counted balls and number of balls and Although it is possible to specify various amounts of sales amount to be paid for the loaned balls and acceptance and issue processing of the ball-bearing ticket, it is possible to specify these as pulse signals (for example, 1 pulse for every 1000 yen of payment and 1 pulse for every 100 yen of sales). Etc.) may be specified. The communication in the lending process may be directly communicated between the gaming machine 1 and the gaming device 2 without passing through the relay device.

  The relay device 4 creates a record for each transition of the gaming state of the gaming machine 1 and specifies the gaming history for sorting the gaming information, and determines the determination diagram variable (for determination during a period of special status by each status signal It is determined whether the symbol fluctuation number of has become a reference value. As the reference value, 10, 30, 50 are set, which may cause the gaming machine 1 to switch from a short time to a rush.

  In the special state, the judgment out and the judgment safe are separately counted, and when the judgment diagram variable becomes the reference value (division satisfaction condition is satisfied), the judgment out rate by the judgment out as the state specifying process and the judgment safe (judgment information ) And determine whether it has reached a separately set reference value (for example, 140%) (state identification processing), and if it has reached, the judgment period (from the start of the special state or the previous state identification processing to the present) Period) is identified as a rush, while if not reached, it is identified as a short time.

  If the identified state is the same as the previous record, there is no need to separate the records, so while combining the previous record and the information, if different, create a new record as it is, initialize the judgment out and judgment safe, and proceed to the next In preparation for the determination of the determination period, when the determination diagram variable again becomes the reference value, the state identification process is performed.

  On the other hand, even when the special state ends, the state specifying process is performed to specify the state. In this manner, the period in the special state is divided into rush and time saving to create a game history and total game information. Such totalization results can be output by the management device 6 as well as the information display device 3, including the following.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the game history, and the following items are set.
Time = Record corresponding time, that is, record creation time, but any time may be used as long as it corresponds to a record such as a record fixed time or an event occurrence time such as a big hit.
State = The state corresponding to the record.
· Out, safe, difference = the number of balls hit into the gaming machine 1 (consumption value), safe is the number of payout balls according to the winning combination in the game (winning award award value), the difference is the difference between safe and out.

・ S, S winning, small hitting = S is a symbol variation number, S winning is the starting winning number, small hitting is the estimated small hitting number ((safe-S winning × starting winning ball number) small hitting per small hitting The expected value of safe, the starting prize ball number is 2, and the expected value of safe per small hit is 21.2 (all are set values corresponding to the specifications of the actual game machine)).
Outgoing rate, S% = outgoing rate is the ratio of out to safe (= safe ÷ out), S% is the ratio of out to S (= S ÷ out).

  The management device 6 tabulates game information by state shown in FIG. That is, the game information (the game information corresponding to the short time corresponds to the second special information, and the game information corresponding to the rush corresponds to the first special information) is classified into the normal state, the time saving, the rush, and the big hit. It averages the average and the total per record. Also, the whole is the sum of all the states. Here, based on the output rate under normal conditions, S% is S%, time-short S% is SA% 1, the output rate is BA1, the rush S% is SA% 2, the output rate is BA2, the average value for the big hit There are cases where T1O is expressed as T1, and T1 is safe, and a difference (a value obtained by inverting the positive or negative sign indicated by safe-out) is expressed as T1Y. Note that S% 2 and BA 2 indicate the S% of the entire rush during the rush including the minute hit and the payout rate, since it is difficult to identify the small hit during rushing with the game signal.

  The management device 6 specifies the theoretical values shown in FIG. 6 by separately setting the specification information. In this case, the setting information such as the rush ratio (special condition ratio) indicating the ratio of rush and speck on the spec in the special condition period, the average (weighted average) output rate (BA) and symbol variation in the special condition After correcting the rate (SA%), theoretical values such as the operating percentage and the ball gross profit specified by the information are specified. In addition, it is also possible to specify theoretical sales amount or so-called gross profit by multiplying the actual cost by the unit price of ball or the gross profit of the ball, and not only the theoretical value shown in FIG. The specified game information may be output. In the case of adopting such a configuration, since the weighted average value of the game information corresponding to the short time and rush according to the rush rate is corrected as the game information in the period of either the short time or rush, the theoretical information is corrected. Even when time is short or rush is biased, it is possible to appropriately check game information.

  FIG. 5 shows specification information indicating specifications of the gaming machine 1 and the like. It is necessary to set the TS to rush rate for each model, and the rental unit cost and the cost rate will set rate information corresponding to each model in the game arcade.

  The theoretical values shown below indicate theoretical values assumed when an advantageous state such as a big hit or a small hit occurs according to the specifications of the gaming machine 1 as shown in FIG. 5, and the advantageous state is determined by lottery. Since the presence or absence of occurrence is specified, the value does not necessarily approximate the past record information in which a bias occurs due to the lottery as shown in FIG.

  As the theoretical value, for example, the difference between sales balls and winning balls, etc. may be adopted in addition to the illustrated payout rate, ball gross profit, etc. For example, basic data, rates, etc. are assumed other than actual game information exemplified. As the value, any value may be adopted such as being adopted as a simulated value when the basic data or the rate is changed.

  For T1Y and T1O, if round distribution is not performed and there are no multiple types of jackpots, basic data may be used as theoretical values as it is, but if there are multiple jackpot types, for example, a representative jackpot T1Y and T1O in the type of tally are calculated, the ratio of the type of the big hit to the total big hit of the big hit etc. is set separately from the specifications etc., and the average T1Y or T1O is specified from the ratio and the total value There is a need to. Also, T1 safe may be adopted as basic data instead of T1Y.

Next, the operation of the relay device 4 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 7 and 8.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the normal state, the relay device 4 has the big hit flag 1 (S101: NO), the big hit signal input (S108: NO), the out signal, the safe signal, the winning S signal, and the symbol variation signal The normal state standby flow is executed to determine whether the special state flag is 1 or not (S109: NO) or the special state flag is 1 (S109: NO). When a game signal such as an out signal is input (S109: YES), each game information in the latest record of FIG. 4 is updated (S110), and since it is in the normal state (S111: NO), the process returns.

  If a big hit occurs during execution of the normal state standby flow and a big hit signal is input (S108: YES), then the big hit flag is set to 1 (S119), and the special status flag is 0 (S120: YES). A record is created and game information is divided into a normal state and a big hit state (S121).

  Since the big hit flag is 1 during the big hit (S101: YES), it is determined whether the big hit signal is input end (S102: NO) or the game signal such as the out signal is input (S109: NO), special status flag Since it is 1 (S115: NO), the big hit waiting flow which returns is performed.

  If a game signal such as an out signal is input during execution of the big hit standby flow (S109: YES), while updating the game information (S110), if the big hit is finished and the big hit signal is finished input (S102: YES) The jackpot flag is set to 0 (S103), and a new record is created to classify the jackpot and the jackpot state (S104), and it is determined whether a special status signal is input (S105). In the case of the gaming machine 1 targeted by the present embodiment, since the state after the big hit always becomes the special state (S105: YES), the special state flag is set to 1 (S106), and the game information for determination is initialized ( S107), whether the big hit flag is 1 (S101: NO), whether the big hit signal is input (S108: NO), or a game signal such as out is input (S109: NO), and the special status flag is 1 In response to this (S115: YES), the special state standby flow is executed to determine whether the input of the special state signal is completed (S116: NO). In addition, since a model that generates a special state by lottery is also provided as a gaming machine, it is also possible to cope with a model provided with step S105 to draw a special state, and it is out of the lottery and the big hit state is a normal state. If not (S105: NO), the process returns to the normal state standby flow described above.

  If a game signal is input during execution of the special state standby flow (S109: YES), the special state flag is 1 although the game information is updated including the determination game information such as determination out as in the case described above. Since it becomes (S111: YES), it is determined whether the determination diagram variable which is the symbol variation number for determination has become the reference value (S112), and if it is not the reference value (S112: NO), the process returns. On the other hand, if it becomes a reference value (S112: YES), a state determination process is performed (S113). In addition, although 10, 30, 50 (specific start number) which may switch rush and time saving in the game machine 1 is set as a standard of the judgment diagram variable, for example, every 10 times of updating It is possible to arbitrarily set a reference value, such as performing a state determination process, and if the period can be further divided, it is not limited to the symbol variation number, and other game information such as out or elapsed time may be used.

  In the state determination processing shown in FIG. 8, the determination output rate is determined by the determination out and the determination safe, and it is determined whether the reference value for rush determination has been reached (S201). Here, the reference value may be, for example, 140% or the like, but the distinguishable reference values may be appropriately set in consideration of the actual output ratio of the rush and the output ratio. In addition, although the exit rate is the target of the judgment information, it is possible to distinguish between the other, such as adopting safe or start, etc., when performing state judgment processing every time the out is updated to 100, and other information such as S%. If it is, it may be adopted as the judgment information. If the reference value is reached (S201: YES), it is determined as a rush (S202), and if not reached (S201: NO), the time is determined to be short (S206), and the state of the determination period is specified.

  Next, if the first state determination process (reference value = 10) after the start of the special state, from the start time of the special state, if it is the second or later (reference value = 30, 50), the previous state determination process The state of the determination period from time to the current state determination process is specified, and it is determined whether the specified state is the same as the previous record (S203). If they are the same (S203: YES), the records are integrated (S204), if not (S203: NO), a new record is created as it is (S205), and the game information according to the state of the determination period is divided.

  After the state determination process, by initializing the determination out and the determination safe (S114), in preparation for the next state determination process, when the determination diagram variable reaches the reference value again (S112: YES), the state determination A process is performed (S113).

  On the other hand, when the special state ends during execution of the special state standby flow (S116: YES), the special state flag is set to 0 (S117), the final state determination processing is performed (S118), and the normal state standby flow is returned. In this case, although determination is made without including 100 times when the special state ends as the reference value of the determination diagram variable in step S112, the state determination processing may be performed using the determination diagram variable. Incidentally, the reason why the judgment out and the like are omitted without being initialized after the final state judgment processing is because the initialization is performed at the start of the special state, but may of course be separately performed.

  If a big hit occurs during execution of the special state standby flow (S108: YES), the big hit flag is set to 1 (S119), and the special status flag is 1 (S120: NO), the special status flag is set to 0. (S117) Also in this case, since the special state has ended, the state determination processing is performed (S118), and the big hit waiting flow is executed.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
Since the management device 6 distinguishes the period during the input of the special status signal to determine whether or not the output rate reaches the reference value, and identifies whether the period is a rush or a short time in the normal special condition, Even if the player and the rush respond to the common special state signal, it is possible to distinguish the period corresponding to both, to distinguish and manage the corresponding game information, or to detect the switching between the two, etc. It becomes possible.

Since game information is managed by dividing time saving and rush, it is possible to appropriately manage the game information to be managed, while reducing the possibility of being mixed with the game information in one state.
The ST is divided according to the number of starts, and the judgment period is divided when the number of starts reaches a reference value corresponding to the number of starts that becomes a candidate for switching from a short time to rush, so the gaming state appropriately corresponds to the actual gaming state. It becomes possible to identify

(Other embodiments)
The present invention can be modified or expanded as follows without being limited to the above embodiment.
It has been exemplified that time saving and rush are divided and managed, but it is possible to simply notify the switching of both with the information display device 3 etc without performing such management, and the game to be managed Information may be disclosed to the player on the information display device 3 or the like.

Although management of time saving and rushing has been exemplified, for example, there is also a need to be able to confirm game information for only time saving or only for rushing, so only one of them may be managed.
Each set value can be set by the administrator arbitrarily by operation input, or set in advance by the manufacturer of the management device 6, by downloading setting information from an external (for example, chain store head office etc.) server It is good.

All the illustrated game information may be specified directly by the input signal or may be specified indirectly using a computing equation. Further, as a model, any kind of gaming machine such as a maker unit or a spec unit may be used.
The numerical value, the number of digits, the item, and the like are examples, and any numerical value may be adopted. In addition, in the case of identifying and outputting information, any output mode may be adopted such as attaching a symbol, and at least printing and display output are assumed as the output.

When adopting the above and the excess, either may be adopted, and the expression such as "attained" becomes the expression corresponding to either the above or the excess. The same applies to the case where the following and less than are adopted, and expressions such as "not reached" are expressions corresponding to both.
The target gaming machine can be a gaming machine other than the illustrated gaming machine such as a so-called enclosed type that manages gaming media only with data. In addition, in consideration of a so-called enclosed type, game media are expressed as game value as needed.

  Some of the processing performed by the relay device 4 may be performed by the management device 6 or the information display device 3 or the like, and similarly, the processing performed by the management device 6 may be performed by the relay device 4 etc. As described above, all processing may be performed by one device such as the information display device 3 or the like. Furthermore, the illustrated configurations may be combined in any manner, including modified examples, and configurations that are not adopted may be provided as appropriate.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 4 is a relay device (input means, period specifying means, period sorting means, determination information specifying means, state specifying means), 6 is a management device (output means, management means, setting means, correction means). ).
