The door opening signal is output when the door of the gaming machine 10 is being opened.

  The start opening prize signal is output when a game ball wins the first start opening 104 or the second start opening 105. By counting the number of outputs, a “start winning number” indicating the number of winnings at the start winning opening is obtained. Then, by multiplying the “start winning number” by the number of game balls (for example, three) that is paid out by winning at the start winning opening, the game machine 10 is paid out by winning at the starting winning opening. A “start safe number” indicating the number of game balls is required.

In the present embodiment, the winning opening from which a winning signal is output by winning a game ball is the first starting opening 104 and the second starting opening 105 (start opening winning signal), and the winning of the game ball to the general winning opening 106 is made. Then, no winning signal is output.
The start opening prize signal is output through a common signal line when a game ball wins the first start opening 104 or the second start opening 105. That is, the output number of the start opening winning signal is a value obtained by adding the number of winnings to the first starting opening 104 and the number of winnings to the second starting opening 105.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when a game ball wins the first start port 104 or the second start port 105, a start port winning signal may be output through separate signal lines.

In the gaming hall system 1 having such a configuration, the gaming hall management device 50 functions as the gaming machine according to the present invention, thereby performing the following characteristic operations.
[Amusement center management device]
As shown in FIG. 4, the game hall management device 50 includes a communication unit 51, an input unit 52, a storage unit 53, a display unit 54, and a control unit 55.
The communication unit 51 receives a game signal output from the gaming machine 10 or the game medium lending machine 20 via the stand computer 30 and the island computer 40. For example, the communication unit 51 determines the game signals (out signal, safe signal, special prize signal, symbol confirmation signal, start opening prize signal, number of game balls to be loaned or loan amount output from the gaming machine 10 and the game medium lending machine 20. Receive sales signal, etc.).
The input unit 52 includes a predetermined input device such as a keyboard and a mouse operated by employees of the game hall and the like, and can input information to be stored in the storage unit 53.

The storage unit 53 is a storage unit (for example, a nonvolatile ROM, a hard disk, or the like) that can store programs and data for executing various functions of the game hall management device 50.
For example, the storage unit 53 stores game information, prize information by game period, prize information by time, setting information, an arithmetic expression described later, and the like.

The game information is information collected by the control unit 55 based on the game signals received by the communication unit 51.
For example, “ordinary number of outs”, “normal number of safes”, “number of big hits”, “number of starts (number of symbol variations)”, “start” associated with the “game machine number” that can identify the gaming machine 10 It is composed of “number of wins”.

The game period winning information is information related to winning in a general winning opening for each predetermined gaming period.
For example, “Number of times of winning a general winning opening per unit gaming period”, “Number of times of winning a general winning opening per total gaming period”, Number of times of winning a general winning opening per unit gaming period and general winning opening per total gaming period Each of the number of winnings is composed of information (standard conforming result) indicating whether or not each has reached a predetermined reference value.
The unit game period is a game period until a predetermined number (for example, 1000) of game balls are launched in the normal game state. For example, a period until the number of outs from the start reaches 1000 A period until the number reaches 1000 to 2000 or a period until the out number reaches 2000 to 3000 is shown.
The total game period is a game period obtained by adding a plurality of unit game periods. For example, a period until the number of outs from the beginning of hitting reaches 2000 or a period until the number of outs from starting reaches 3000 And so on.

The time-based winning information is information related to winning in a general winning opening at regular time intervals.
For example, the number of wins of the general winning opening is stored in time series at regular time intervals (for example, every 10 minutes) from the game hall start time.

The setting information is information set in advance by a game hall employee or the like, and includes, for example, the number of winning balls of each winning opening, a reference value (first reference value or second reference value), and the like. .
The number of winning balls is, for example, “3” for the first starting port 104 and the second starting port 105, “10” for the general winning port 106, and “15” for the big winning port 107. Is set.
The first reference value is a standard for determining the number of game balls to be awarded to the general winning opening 106 for the aforementioned unit game period (1000 launch periods). For example, “20 times” is set. Yes.
The second reference value defines the standard for the number of game balls to be awarded to the general winning opening 106 for the above-mentioned total game period. For example, “40” for the period from the start of hitting to reaching 2000 pieces. “60 times” is set for the period from the start of hitting to 3000 pieces.

The display unit 54 includes functions of a display unit such as a liquid crystal display that displays predetermined information on a screen and a printing unit such as a printer that prints out predetermined information on a predetermined sheet, and operates as an output unit in the present invention. To do.
For example, based on information stored in the storage unit 43 (for example, winning information by game period, winning information by time), the number of winnings of the general winning opening and the game information are displayed in association with each other (see FIGS. 5 to 7). ).

The control unit 55 is a control unit that includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like and operates as a computer.
The control unit 55 controls each component of the game hall management device 50 based on control programs and data stored in the ROM.
For example, the game information is totaled for each gaming machine 10 and for each model of the gaming machine 10 based on the gaming signal received by the communication unit 51 and stored in the storage unit 53.

The control unit 55 has the following characteristic functions.
(1) Calculation of the number of winnings of the general winning opening (2) Comparison determination of the number of winnings of the general winning opening and the reference value (3) Display of the number of winnings of the general winning opening and the standard conformity results These features will be described below. .

(1) Calculation of Number of Wins for General Winning Port The control unit 55 operates as a winning information calculation unit according to the present invention, and the number of wins for the general winning port 106 based on the following arithmetic expression 1 stored in the storage unit 53. (Corresponding to information related to winning a game medium in the present invention) is calculated.
For example, the number of winnings in the general winning opening is calculated as follows.
The number E of winnings in the general winning opening includes the normal safe number A in the normal gaming state, the start winning number B indicating the number of winnings in the first starting port 104 and the second starting port 105 in the normal gaming state, and the first start. The start winning ball number C indicating the number of winning balls of the mouth 104 and the second starting port 105 and the other hole winning ball number D indicating the number of winning balls of the general winning port 106 are input by the following equations.
E = (A− (B × C)) / D (Equation 1)

“A− (B × C)” in the arithmetic expression 1 is calculated from the total safe number (A) paid out by winning to all winning ports 104, 105, 106 that can be won in the normal gaming state. In the gaming state, the winning numbers other than the first starting port 104 and the second starting port 105 are subtracted by subtracting the start safe number (B × C) paid out by winning to the first starting port 104 and the second starting port 105. In other words, the “number of safes outside the start”, which is the number of safes paid out by winning to the general winning port 106, is obtained.
Further, by dividing the “number of safes outside start” by the number of winning balls (D) of the general winning opening 106, the number of winning of game balls to the general winning opening 106 is calculated.
As described above, the number of winnings in the general winning opening 106 is composed of game information (usually safe number A, start winning number B) and preset setting information (start winning ball number C, other hole winning ball number D). Since the calculation is based on the arithmetic expression, the number of winnings can be calculated even for a gaming machine that does not output a winning signal when a game ball wins a general winning opening.

Further, the calculation of the number of winnings in the general winning opening is performed at the following timing, for example.
(1-1) When a certain number of game balls are launched Each time a certain number (for example, 1000) of game balls are launched (corresponding to the unit game period in the present invention), the calculation is performed.
For example, when the number of outs from the start of hitting reaches 1000, when the number of outs reaches from 1000 to 2000, or when the number of outs reaches from 2000 to 3000, Calculation is performed. At this time, the game information collected during each game period (usually safe number A, start winning number B) is input to the above equation 1, and the result of the calculation is the key of the game machine number. Is stored as winning information by game period in the storage unit 53.

(1-2) When a certain amount of time has passed Each time a certain amount of time (for example, 10 minutes) has passed since the game hall business start time, the number of winnings in the general winning opening is calculated.
At this time, the game information (usually safe number A, start winning number B) collected within each time period is input to the above-described calculation formula 1, and the calculated result is obtained by using the gaming machine number as a key. Is stored as winning information according to time in the storage unit 53.
It should be noted that the calculation timing is not limited to (1-1) and (1-2). For example, the calculation may always be performed during a game, or a player change is detected and the change timing is detected. Calculation may be performed based on this.
In addition, the unit game period (1000 outs) and the fixed time (10 minute intervals) shown here can be arbitrarily changed and can be set according to the model and gaming machine via the input unit 52. .

Furthermore, the control unit 55 performs the following processing when calculating the number of winnings of the general winning opening.
In the gaming machine 10 in which the out signal is newly detected after the out signal has not been detected for a predetermined period, the control unit 55 performs the operation of the general winning opening 106 from the start of detection of the out signal to the input of a predetermined number of out signals. The number of winnings is not calculated.
This is because, in the state immediately after the player starts the launch of the game ball by rotating the handle (not shown), the stop position of the handle is not determined, and the launch position of the game ball is not determined within the game area 102. Since there is often no game ball until the predetermined number of game balls are launched (for example, about 10 outs), it is excluded from the calculation target to calculate an accurate value. It is.

Further, when the door of the gaming machine 10 is open (when the door opening signal is received from the gaming machine 10), the control unit 55 does not calculate the number of winnings in the general winning opening 106. Yes.
This is because, for example, a game that is accidentally or deliberately launched into the gaming area 102 while opening the door of the gaming machine 10 in order to eliminate clogging in the gaming area 102 by an employee of the gaming hall. This is because an accurate value is calculated by excluding the sphere from the calculation target.

In addition, the controller 55 cannot pass to the gate 108 when “left-handed” in the normal gaming state, and it is difficult to win the general winning opening 106 when “right-handed”. In the case of a gaming machine having the configuration of the area 102 (see FIG. 2), when the gate passing signal is received at a predetermined interval in the normal state (for example, about 10 consecutively), the general winning opening 106 The number of winnings is not calculated.
This is because there is a possibility that the player is playing a game in a different manner than usual, so the exact value is calculated by excluding the game ball portion launched during such a game period from the calculation target. Because. In this case, the control unit 55 records that there is a problem in the player's way of hitting during the game period.

In addition, as described above, in the case of the gaming machine 10 configured such that when a game ball wins the first start port 104 or the second start port 105, the start port winning signal is output through separate signal lines. The number E of winnings in the general winning opening is calculated based on the following equation.
E = (A− (B1 × C1 + B2 × C2)) / D (Equation 2)

As shown in the calculation formula 2, the first start port 104 and the second start port 105 are separately distinguished for calculation. Specifically, B1 is the number of start winnings indicating the number of times the first starting port 104 has been won, C1 is the starting number of winning balls indicating the number of winning balls of the first starting port 104, and B2 is the second starting port. 105 is the number of start winnings indicating the number of winnings, and C2 is the number of starting winning balls indicating the number of winning balls at the second starting port 105.
Thereby, when winning at the first start port 104 or the second start port 105, the start port winning signal is output through the separate signal lines, and the first start port 104 and the second start port are configured. In the case of the gaming machine 10 in which the number of winning balls 105 is set to a different number, the “start safe number (B × C)” for each of the first starting port 104 and the second starting port 105, that is, for each awarding ball number. ”Is calculated, the winning number E can be calculated with an accurate value.

(2) Comparison determination of the number of winnings of the general winning opening and the reference value The control unit 55 determines whether or not the number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 has reached a preset reference value.
Specifically, it is determined whether or not the number of winnings of the general winning opening calculated for each unit game period has reached the first reference value (hereinafter also referred to as individual determination).
For example, when the number of outs from the beginning of hitting reaches 1000, when the number of outs reaches from 1000 to 2000, or when the number of outs reaches from 2000 to 3000, each predetermined number, etc. The number of winnings of the general winning opening calculated during the game period is compared with the first reference value (for example, 20 times).
As a result of the determination, when the number of winnings in the general winning opening has reached the first reference value, information indicating the standard conformity is stored in the winning information by game period in the storage unit 53, and has reached the first reference value. If not, information indicating non-conformity with the criteria is stored in the prize information for each game period in the storage unit 53.

In addition to making this individual determination, it is determined whether or not the number of wins in the general winning opening for each total game period has reached the second reference value (hereinafter also referred to as a cumulative determination).
For example, for each multiple of the unit game period such as when the number of outs from the start of hitting reaches 2000 or when the number of outs from the start of hitting reaches 3000, the number of wins and the second number of winnings for each general winning mouth Are compared and determined (for example, 40 times and 60 times).
As a result of the determination, when the number of winnings in the general winning opening has reached the second reference value, information indicating the standard conformity is stored in the winning information for each game period in the storage unit 53 and reaches the second reference value. If not, information indicating non-conformity with the criteria is stored in the prize information by game period in the storage unit 53.

(3) Display of Number of Wins at General Winning Port and Result of Standard Matching The control unit 55 associates the number of wins at the general winning port 106 and the game information, and outputs them to the display unit 54 so as to be visible.
As a result, the display unit 54 performs the following display.
Hereinafter, information displayed on the display unit 54 will be described with reference to FIGS.

(3-1) Game Period Winning Information Screen As shown in FIG. 5, the display unit 54 displays a “game time winning information screen”.
The “game-time prize information screen” is displayed based on the game-period prize information, and the number of wins of the general prize slot 106 and the number of prizes of the general prize slot 106 for each out number reach a predetermined reference value. The result of whether or not it is displayed is identifiable.

For example, in the 204th series, in the period until the number of outs from the start of hitting reaches 1000 (unit game period), the number of winnings (16 times) of the general winning opening 106 becomes the first reference value (20 times). Since it has not reached, “x” indicating the nonconformity with the standard is displayed.
In addition, in the period until the number of outs reaches 1000 to 2000 (unit game period), the number of wins (20 times) of the general winning opening 106 has reached the first reference value (20 times). “○” indicating compliance with the standard is displayed.
In addition, in the period until the number of outs from the beginning of hitting reaches 2000 (total game period), the number of winnings (36 times) of the general winning opening 106 does not reach the second reference value (40 times). “×” indicating the nonconformity of the standard is displayed.
In addition, in the period until the number of outs from the beginning of hitting reaches 3000 (total game period), the number of winnings (66 times) of the general winning opening 106 has reached the second reference value (60 times). “○” indicating the standard conformity is displayed.

In this way, the number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 is displayed in association with the number of outs, so that the employees of the game hall can easily grasp how many winnings in the general winning opening 106 with respect to the number of game balls launched. can do.
In addition, since the result (standard conformity result) whether or not the number of winning prizes in the general winning opening 106 has reached a predetermined reference value is displayed, the employee of the game hall can adjust the nail around the general winning opening 106. It can be determined whether or not is appropriate.
In addition, since both the standard conformance result based on the unit game period and the standard conformance result based on the total game period are displayed, the employees of the game hall can determine the number of winnings in the short period (unit game period) and the long term (total game period). For example, it is possible to guess that the player has accidentally won the general winning opening 106 in a short period of time in a certain game period, and can be used as a material for determining nail adjustment. Can do.

(3-2) Time-based winning information screen As shown in FIG. 6, the display unit 54 displays a “time-based winning information screen”.
The “time-based winning information screen” is displayed based on the time-based winning information, and the number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 at regular time intervals from the game hall start time is displayed in time series.
For example, in the 204th series, in the 10 minutes from the game hall business start time (10:00) to 10:10, the number of wins in the general winning opening 106 is 14, and the number of outs is 800. It is displayed.
Also in the subsequent time, the number of winnings and the number of outs of the general winning opening 106 are displayed in time series at regular time intervals (every 10 minutes).
Thus, since the number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 is displayed in chronological order, the employee of the game hall can easily grasp the number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 in each time zone within the business hours.

(3-3) Amusement Hall Layout Screen As shown in FIG. 7, the display unit 54 displays a “game hall layout screen”.
In the “game room layout screen”, a gaming machine (hereinafter, also referred to as a non-conforming game machine) determined that the number of winnings in the general winning opening 106 has not reached a predetermined reference value is referred to as a gaming machine 10 in the game hall. Is displayed so as to be visible on a schematic layout.
In this case, a mode in which the gaming machine 10 extracted as a non-conforming game machine and the other gaming machines 10 are visually divided by various display forms (for example, colors, characters, shading, blinking display, etc.) Is displayed.
According to such a display, as shown in FIG. 7, the gaming machines 10 with the gaming machine numbers “204”, “302”, “406”, “508”, “602” are non-conforming game machines. Can be recognized at a glance.

As a condition for extracting a reference non-conforming game machine, for example, a game machine determined to be non-conforming to the reference at least once may be an extraction target, or a game machine determined to be non-conforming for a plurality of times may be an extraction target.
In addition, the condition to be extracted may be changed between the standard conformance result based on the unit game period and the standard conformance result based on the total game period. For example, in the case of a unit gaming period, the gaming machine 10 determined to be non-conforming multiple times is selected as an extraction target, while in the case of a combined gaming period, the gaming machine 10 determined to be non-conforming at least once is also selected as an extraction target. Good.
Further, on the layout, the reference conformity result based on the unit game period and the reference conformation result based on the total game period may be displayed so as to be distinguishable.

Further, not only the display of non-conforming game machines but also other information can be displayed on the “game room layout screen”.
For example, it is possible to display gaming machines that are low in operation on a plurality of consecutive business days (hereinafter also referred to as low operating gaming machines).
For example, the gaming machines 10 in which the number of outs on each business day does not reach 1000 for three consecutive days are extracted and displayed so as to be visible on the layout.
This is because a predetermined number of game balls have not been launched, and a warning is given if a period in which a comparison between the number of winnings in the general winning opening 106 and a predetermined reference value has not been made continues.
According to such a display, employees of the game hall can easily grasp the gaming machines that have not been evaluated for the adjustment of the nail around the general winning opening, and increase the operation of this low-operating gaming machine. It can be used as a judgment material.

In addition, in each of the screens shown in the above (3-1) to (3-3), it is possible to link to a screen that displays a record of nail adjustment (nail adjustment data).
For example, a link button (not shown) is provided on the “game-by-game prize information screen” and “time-by-time prize information screen”, and the nail adjustment data of the corresponding gaming machine 10 is selected by selecting the link button. A screen displaying is displayed.
On the “game room layout screen”, a screen for displaying nail adjustment data of the corresponding gaming machine 10 is displayed by selecting a gaming machine number on the layout.
As a result, the game hall employee can compare the number of winnings and the standard conformance results of the general winning opening 106 with the adjustment data of the gaming nails around the general winning opening, so that the nail around the general winning opening can be seen. It is possible to accurately determine whether adjustment is appropriate.

In addition, in each of the screens shown in the above (3-1) to (3-3), the gaming machine 10 displayed or selected is a structure (a role) or an obstacle (a game nail) in the game area 102. Is a gauge-type gaming machine that is configured symmetrically when viewed from the front and the general winning opening 106 is symmetrically disposed, the number of winnings for each left-handed and right-handed It is possible to display that it is necessary to pay attention to.
According to such a display, an employee of the game hall can win the general winning opening 106 for both the left-handed and right-handed ways of gaming machine 10 having a symmetric gauge configuration. It is possible to determine whether or not the nail adjustment around the general winning opening is good or not while considering the points.

In the present embodiment, the above-described (1-1) to (1-3) are described for each gaming machine 10, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be performed for each model of the gaming machine 10. .
In this case, for example, a value obtained by averaging the number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 of a plurality of gaming machines 10 of the same model is used as the number of winnings (average number of winnings) of the general winning opening 106 for each model. By performing the comparison determination with a predetermined reference value, various displays can be performed based on the determination result. For example, if it is determined that the standard winning number does not reach a predetermined reference value, the number of winning prizes may be displayed on the layout as a non-conforming model.
Further, the same processing may be performed for each gaming island where gaming machines are installed.
As a result, the number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 for each model and game island can be grasped, and the suitability of the nail adjustment can be determined for each model and game island.

Further, the control unit 55 may have a function of performing a simulation related to the profit of the gaming machine 10.
Specifically, as input data, inputs such as target profits, the number of winnings in the general winning opening, and the number of outs during normal are accepted. The target profit is a target profit of one gaming machine per business day, and is input as, for example, 10,000 yen. The number of winnings in the general winning opening is the number of winnings for a predetermined number (1000) of launches, for example, 20 is entered.
Then, by performing a simulation based on this input data, preset specification information of the gaming machine 10 (the number of winning balls, the unit price of balls, the unit price of exchange, etc.) and the gauge configuration, etc. Outputs the number of start wins.
Thereby, the employee of a game hall can grasp | ascertain how much the target profit can be acquired by setting how many start winning times of a start winning opening. Furthermore, nail adjustment around the start winning opening can be examined based on the output result.

Characteristic operations performed in the game hall management device 50 (control unit 55) as described above are executed according to the winning number monitoring process (program) shown in FIG. The program that can be executed by the control unit 55 is created based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 8 and stored in the storage unit 53.
In this process, first, the control unit 55 calculates the number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 based on the above-described arithmetic expression (S1).
For example, the calculation is performed when a certain number of game balls are launched or when a certain time has elapsed, and the calculated number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 is stored in the storage unit 53 (S2).
Next, it is determined whether or not the number of winnings in the general winning opening 106 has reached a preset reference value (S3).
Specifically, it is determined (individually determined) whether or not the number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 calculated for each unit gaming period has reached the first reference value, and the general winning opening 106 for each combined gaming period. It is determined whether or not the number of winnings has reached the second reference value (cumulative determination).
As a result of the determination in S3, when the number of winnings of the general winning opening 106 has reached the reference value, information indicating the reference conformance is stored in the storage unit 53, whereas when the reference value is not reached, the reference nonconformity is determined. The information shown is stored in the storage unit 53 (S4).
And if selection of a display screen and designation | designated of a game machine number are received from the employee of a game hall, a corresponding screen will be displayed on the display part 54 (S5: FIGS. 5-7). At this time, the number of winnings and the number of outs of the general winning opening 106 are displayed in association with each other (FIGS. 5 and 6).

As described above, according to the gaming apparatus and program of the present embodiment, game information in a normal gaming state (normally safe number A, start winning number B) and preset setting information (start winning ball number C) Since the number of winnings of the general winning opening is calculated based on the arithmetic expression ((A− (B × C)) / D) composed of the other hole winning balls D), the game ball wins the general winning opening. The number of winnings can be calculated even for gaming machines for which no winning signal is output.
In addition, since the number of winnings of the general winning opening and the game information (out number) are displayed in association with each other, the employees of the game hall grasp how many winning in the general winning opening with respect to the number of game balls launched. It is possible to determine whether or not the state of the nail adjustment around the general winning opening is appropriate.

On the other hand, in a gaming apparatus that obtains the number of game balls won at a conventional general prize opening, a prize is awarded from the gaming machine to the general prize opening according to the detection of the game ball by a sensor provided for each general prize opening. By receiving the winning signal shown, the number of winnings of the general winning opening has been acquired.
For this reason, it has been impossible to grasp the number of winnings for a gaming machine that does not output a winning signal when a game ball wins a general winning opening. As a result, in such a gaming machine, in order to grasp the state of the nail adjustment around the general winning opening, the number of winning of the general winning opening cannot be used as a judgment material.
According to the gaming device and the program of the present embodiment, all or part of such problems that the conventional gaming device should improve can be solved.

The preferred embodiments of the gaming apparatus and program of the present invention have been described above. However, the gaming apparatus and program according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. Needless to say, implementation is possible.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, when a game ball wins the first start port 104 or the second start port 105, the start port winning signal is output through a common signal line, and the first start port The case where the number of prize balls in the mouth 104 and the second start opening 105 is the same has been described as an example. However, the number of prize balls in the first start opening 104 and the second start opening 105 is set to be different. If there is, the number E of winnings in the general winning opening can be calculated based on the following equation.
E = (A − ((B−B3) × C + B3 × C2)) / D (Equation 3)
The arithmetic expression 1 and the arithmetic expression 2 of the above-described embodiment are different in that they include B3 (special figure 2 estimated start winning number), and this B3 is the second start port 105 for a predetermined number of launches. It shows the estimated number of winnings that are expected to win.
Thus, when the first start port 104 or the second start port 105 is won, the start port winning signal is output through the common signal line, and the first start port 104 and the second start port 105 are configured. Even when the number of award balls is set to a different number, the value can be calculated accurately.

  In the above-described embodiment, the information regarding the winning of the game medium according to the present invention has been described by taking the number of times of winning a general winning opening as an example. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. A “winning / dispensing number” multiplied by a number (10) may be used.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the number of game balls launched (number of outs) is used for the unit game period is described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, “game time” may be used.
In this case, the number of wins of the general winning opening and a predetermined reference value are determined at regular time intervals. For example, it is determined whether or not the number of winnings in the general winning opening 106 for 10 minutes (unit game period) from 10:00 to 10:10 has reached the first reference value (20 times). To 10:20, it is determined whether or not the number of winnings in the general winning opening 106 for 20 minutes (total game period) has reached the second reference value (40 times).

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the number of winning balls of all the general winning openings 106 is set to the same number (three) has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the general winning is made via the input unit 52. When it is possible to input the number of winning balls for each mouth 106, the average value of these winning balls may be calculated in place of the other hole winning ball number D of the above-described arithmetic expressions 1 to 3.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, in the case of the gaming machine 10 in which three general winning holes 106 are provided in the left game area and one in the right game area, they are provided in the left game area. You may calculate using the average value of the number of prize balls of three general winning openings 106. FIG.

In the above-described embodiment, the game hall management device 50 is operated as a game device. However, the base computer 30 and the island computer 40 can be operated as game devices.
In this embodiment, the game hall management device 50 functions as various means such as a winning information calculation means and an output means, but these functions are caused to cause the base computer 30 and the island computer 40 to perform a part or all of the functions. Thus, the game hall system 1 can be operated as one game apparatus.
