  Note that the use permission of the game card 10 by the management device 6 is substantially the same as that in the case of the count lending unit 3 described above. When permission to use the membership card 101 is given, if there is a number of stored balls in the account managed on the management device 6 side, a prize exchange using the stored number of balls can be performed. Inquiry and use of the number of balls in each account is permitted upon entry of the correct passcode.

Next, the management of the replay by the management system 1 for game halls of this example constituted by the following devices will be described in detail.
In the game hall management system 1 of this example, as shown in FIG. 5, combinations of accounts that can be transferred and replayed with account transfers are defined. In the figure, 4P, 1P, 20S, and 5S types correspond to pachinko machines with a unit price of 4 yen, pachinko machines with a unit price of 1 yen, slot machines with a unit price of 20 yen, slot machines with a unit price of 5 yen, and so on. Represents an account. As can be seen from the figure, for example, a 4P account can be transferred to a 1P account and a 20S account. Whether the transfer from each account to another account can be arbitrarily set by the game hall.

  In the management device 6, the 4P, 1P, 20S, and 5S accounts corresponding to the type of the gaming machine 2 are managed for each member, and the member ID shared with the card ID of the member card 101 is associated with each other as shown in FIG. In this state, the number of stored balls is managed for each account. In the management device 6, as shown in FIG. 7, a replay history for each business day is recorded for each member. In the re-game history data of the same figure, for each re-game, the time when the saved ball is paid out, the machine number of the gaming machine 2, the type of the gaming machine 2, the number of game media paid-out, the account type from which the saved ball is deducted, and the withdrawal from the account The number of subtractions that have been dropped and the account balance (the number of stored balls) after the withdrawal are recorded.

  For example, the replay record at time 10:01 is the replay history of the 1P gaming machine 2 using the 1P account storage balls, and the number of subtractions from the 1P account is 125 balls (first game value). ing. The replay record at time 10:54 is a replay history of the 4P gaming machine 2 using the 1P account savings. In this re-game, while the number of payout pachinko balls for a game is 125, 125 × 4 = 500 (second game value) is withdrawn from the 1P account by account transfer.

The management device 6 generates total data as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, for example, by totaling the replay history data of FIG.
FIG. 8 is an example of the re-game total data for each member. This member-specific replay summary data is summary data of August 1 replays relating to the member with the member ID 123456. In the same figure, the game type in each row (horizontal direction) represents the type of the game machine 2 that has been replayed, and each column (vertical direction) represents the account type in which the stored ball was used during the replay. .

  For example, in the re-playing of the 4P gaming machine 2, it can be seen that 125 balls are paid out from the 4P account and 250 balls are paid out from the 1P account by account transfer. In the figure, the game value in the column in which the game type and the account type match is the first game value used for the re-game without the account transfer. On the other hand, the game value in the column in which the game type and the account type do not match is the second game value used in the transfer re-game involving the account transfer. In the figure, one day is set as the total period, but the total period can be set in units of days, weeks, months, and years.

  FIG. 9 is an example of total store replay summary data. This all-store replay total data is total data of all replays on August 1st. As in FIG. 8, the total period can be set in units of days, weeks, months, and years. In the same figure, the game type in each row (horizontal direction) represents the type of the game machine 2 that has been replayed, and each column (vertical direction) represents the account type in which the stored ball was used during the replay. .

  FIG. 10 is an example of all store replay type ratio data. The row and column items are set in the same manner as in FIG. In this ratio data, the breakdown of each game type of the game value (number of stored balls) used for re-game is shown for each account. For example, in a 4P account (4P payout line), the first game value used for re-games that do not involve account transfer in the 4P gaming machine 2 is 81.6%. The ratio of the second game value used in the game is 17.8%, and the ratio of the second game value used in the transfer replay in the gaming machine 2 of 20S is 0.6%. Further, in the 5S account (5S payout column), the first game value used for the re-game without the account transfer in the 5S gaming machine 2 is 54.8%, and the transfer re-transfer in the 20S gaming machine 2 is performed. The ratio of the second game value used in the game is 45.2%. According to the figure, the 4P account has the lowest transfer replay usage ratio, and the 5S account has the lowest replay usage ratio without account transfer, and the transfer regame usage ratio is the highest. You can grasp the tendency of replay.

  FIG. 11 is an example of all store replay type ratio data, as in FIG. In this ratio data, the breakdown of each account of the game value (number of stored balls) used for re-game is shown for each game type. For example, in the 1P gaming machine 2 (1P row), the first game value used for normal replay without transfer using the 1P account is 84.7%, and transfer transfer using the 4P account is performed. The second game value used in the game is 15.3%. From the figure, the 1P gaming machine 2 can grasp the gaming tendency that the ratio of re-games not accompanied by account transfer is the highest among the four game types. Further, the 4P gaming machine 2 has a low usage rate of re-games that do not involve account transfer, and can grasp the gaming tendency that the usage rate of transfer re-games is the highest among the four game types.

  The management system 1 for amusement hall configured as described above determines the magnitude of the first game value used for normal replay without account transfer and the second game value used for transfer replay. Different game types with different unit prices and the like can be output by being aggregated. In particular, it is possible to output the ratio of the game value used for normal replay, the ratio of the game value used for transfer replay, etc. out of the game value used for replay. By outputting these ratios, it is possible to quantitatively grasp the game tendency when using the re-game service. For example, when there is a bias in transfer replay from a specific unit price, it is also possible to correct the bias by prohibiting transfer replay from that unit price.

  In this way, the management system 1 for the game hall in this example manages the game hall that allows the transfer re-game when playing another game machine 2 having a unit price or the like different from the original game machine 2 that has accumulated the balls. It is a very useful system. If this game hall management system 1 is introduced, it is possible to grasp in detail the game trends of re-games including transfer re-games, and to obtain management guidelines.

In this example, four types are illustrated as game types and corresponding account types. This kind should just be two or more kinds, and the number of kinds can be changed suitably.
In this example, the deposit balance and the number of possessions are recorded on the game card 10 and are also managed on the management device 6 side. Instead of this example, the recording of the deposit balance, the number of balls, etc. to the game card 10 side may be stopped. The counting / lending unit 3 and the like can acquire a deposit balance and the like by making an inquiry to the management device 6 using the card ID of the received game card 10.
In this example, the member card 101 is used as a recording medium for the member ID necessary for using the storage service. Instead, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone (multifunctional mobile phone) may be used as a member ID recording medium. A coin or the like in which an IC chip is incorporated may be used as a member ID recording medium.

In this example, a counting device (counting lending unit 3) is attached to each gaming machine 2, but a configuration in which one counting device is shared among a plurality of gaming machines 2 may be adopted.
In this example, a gaming machine 2 that pays out gaming media is illustrated. Instead of this, it may be an enclosed game machine that does not pay out game media such as pachinko balls and medals, and adds and stores it as electronic data such as earned points.

  As described above, specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail as in the embodiments. However, these specific examples merely disclose an example of the technology included in the scope of claims. Needless to say, the scope of the claims should not be construed as limited by the configuration, numerical values, or the like of the specific examples. The scope of the claims includes techniques obtained by variously modifying or changing the specific examples using known techniques, knowledge of those skilled in the art, and the like.
