Description

  The present invention relates to a playground system.

  Conventionally, in a game arcade system, in order to check the state of a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine, game information such as a payout ratio is managed in association with the gaming state. The payout rate is managed as a "base" by being classified according to a mode (so-called time saving, hereinafter, time saving) or the like, and is presented as an index for checking the state of the gaming machine.

  Here, there is also a game state called a probability change state in which the jackpot probability is improved, but this may also be managed as a sweet mode if time is accompanied, and a normal state if not, and these are special state signals output from the gaming machine side. Are divided based on whether the time is shortened or not.

  By the way, in recent years, a gaming machine having a gaming property different from the conventional gaming machine is appearing. That is, a gaming machine that can generate a small hit rush state in which a so-called small hit frequently appears as a gaming state and a player obtains a payout is appearing.

  In this small hit rush state, it is necessary to consider the winning situation of the small hit compared to the conventional one, so it becomes difficult to manage the balls and the like in the sweet mode, and it is now one step more difficult to check the state of the gaming machine There is a risk of becoming.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to enable a proper state check of a gaming machine in a special state even when a small hit occurs during a special state due to a so-called small hit rush. It is an object of the present invention to provide a game arcade system.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, by managing the special exclusion information, it is easy to check the state of giving the gaming value in the small hit (specific state), and it is possible to more appropriately check the state of the gaming machine in the special state. Become.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a form of an aggregation result according to a third pattern. The figure which shows the report example of the totaling result by the 4th pattern

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an overall configuration of a game arcade system. A large number of gaming machines 1 are installed in the game arcade, and a gaming device 2 and an information display device 3 are installed corresponding to each gaming machine 1. The gaming machine 1, the gaming device 2, and the information display device 3 are connected to a management device 6 (game information identification unit, exclusion information identification unit, management unit) via the relay device 4 (input unit) and the LAN 5. The management device 6 inputs a game signal output from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the gaming device 2, etc.) and manages game data for each gaming machine 1, personal data for each registered member, and the like. A POS and a balance adjuster (both not shown) are also installed in the game arcade, and the POS and the balance adjuster are also connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5. Although illustration is omitted in FIG. 1, for example, several hundred gaming machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 6.

  The management device 6 is installed in, for example, an office or the like in the game arcade, and is connected to a keyboard 7, a monitor 8, a printer (not shown), and the like, which are operated by an administrator of the game arcade. The management device 6 specifies an operating state of the gaming machine 1 or the gaming device 2 based on a game signal input from the gaming machine 1 or the gaming device 2 and manages and manages game information for each gaming machine 1. Display and printout for the user.

  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 firing device for firing a ball on the board surface 9. The saucer 11 is provided with a balance display section 13, a lending button 14, and a return button 15, and the board 9 has a general figure winning opening 16, a general figure display section 17, a general figure hold display section 18, a special figure display section. 19, a first reserved number display section 20, a second reserved number display section 21, a general winning opening 22, a first starting opening 23, a second starting opening 24, and a special winning opening 25 are provided.

The gaming machine 1 operates as described below.
(1) The first opening 23 is a winning opening (so-called navel winning opening) in which the winning rate does not fluctuate, and the second starting opening 24 is a winning opening (so-called electric chew) in which the winning rate fluctuates. A jackpot lottery is performed in accordance with a prize (start prize) in each of the starting ports 23 and 24, and the lottery result is notified by a symbol change performed in the special prize display unit 19, and a big hit is made in accordance with the change result.

  (2) When a winning start is made during a symbol change, the symbol changes are cumulatively held up to a predetermined holding upper limit value (for example, four each), and the held symbol changes are started after the symbol changes are completed. Note that if a winning start is made in a state where the number of held symbol variations (the number of held symbols) is the upper limit, the symbol variations are not held, and if there is a hold in the second startup port 24, the first startup port 23 is held. And execute the symbol fluctuation which is held in priority to.

  (3) The winning probability (big hit probability) of the big hit lottery is 1/300. When a big hit occurs, the big winning opening 25 is opened for 10 rounds (R). The upper limit winning number of 1R is 10, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R is terminated when either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied. Although a gaming machine that does not perform so-called round distribution is illustrated, a gaming machine that performs round distribution may be used.

  (4) When the big hit ends (the special condition occurrence condition and the second special condition occurrence condition are satisfied), the special state is definitely changed (hereinafter also referred to as ST. Special state period, first special state period), and during ST Is a time saving state (hereinafter, time saving) in which the jackpot probability is improved to 1/74 and the winning rate of the second starting port 24 is high. In the ST, a small hit rush state (hereinafter, rush) in which small hits (specific state) frequently appear during part or all of the sorting lottery. Note that the ST is continued until the next big hit occurs or the symbol change is performed 100 times, and then the normal state is set.

  Note that the general winning opening 22 is provided at a position where a prize can be won even when the player hits the right side of the board 9 during ST, that is, when the player makes a right-handed hit. There are 10 prize balls, but no symbol fluctuation is performed.

  (5) The second starting port 24 is in an open state with a high winning rate when a normal symbol (common figure) that fluctuates according to winning in the general figure winning port 16 is hit. In this case, the fluctuation time for one time in the normal state is 30 seconds in the normal state and 3 seconds in the time reduction state. The opening time is 0.3 seconds in the normal state and 5 seconds in the time saving state. That is, in the time reduction state, the normal figure fluctuation time is shorter than 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 game signals in accordance with the progress of the game, such as a player driving a ball or winning a start in each of the start ports 23 and 24. .
Out signal = a signal (operation signal) that can specify the consumption value (out) output from the out box that collects the consumed balls. Since one pulse is output for every 10 consumed (used, driven, collected) balls, “out signal number × 10” is specified as out. Note that a signal output from the gaming machine 1 may be used.

  Safe signal = a signal output from the gaming machine 1 that can specify a prize awarded value (safe). Since one pulse is output for 10 payout balls, “the number of safe signals × 10” is specified as safe. The output signal is preferably a signal output at the time of winning, but may be a signal output at the time of completion of payout. Further, a replenishment signal output from the replenishing device may be used as a safe signal.

  A start winning signal (start signal) = a signal output from the gaming machine 1 that can specify a win (start win, S win) to the start ports 23, 24. Since one pulse is output each time a winning is made to the starting ports 23 and 24, the starting winning is specified according to the signal input.

  Symbol change signal = Signal change signal (special character operation, unit game, S) in the special prize display portion (gear) 19 which fluctuates (operates) due to a winning start. Since this is output when the symbol change is determined, the symbol change is specified according to the signal input (unit game signal, start signal).

Jackpot signal = a signal output from the gaming machine 1 that can specify the jackpot period. Since the level signal is outputted during the big hit, the big hit signal input is specified as the big hit.
A special state signal (first special state signal) = a signal that can specify a special state (Amanaka) output from the gaming machine 1. During the special state in which the winning rate of the second starting port 24 is improved (including during time reductions and during rush hours. During the small hit, the small hit depends on the previous gaming state (the signal level is continued). Since this is a status signal that is level-outputted, the special status signal input is specified as a special status. Further, a period in which neither the jackpot signal nor the special state signal is input is specified as a normal state.

  In short, when the gaming machine 1 is in the special state ST where the number of cuts is a certain change, the gaming machine 1 transitions to one of a rush where small hits frequently occur and a time reduction which is a normal special state other than the rush. Since the signals are output in common, it is impossible to distinguish between them according to the status signal.

Next, ST will be described.
When a big hit occurs, the gaming machine 1 is in a special state after the big hit and is in ST until the symbol changes 100 times. In the ST, 0, 10, 30, 50, and 100 sorting lotteries are performed. From the start of the ST, until a symbol change of the number of times of winning is performed, the probable change and the time saving remain, but after that ( The first special state occurrence condition is satisfied (in the case of 0 times, from the start), a small hit rush state in which small hits frequently occur (hereinafter, rush (first special state)) in addition to the probability change and the time saving (hereinafter, rush (first special state)). , A non-rush ST is referred to as a time saving (second special state)). In this rush, a small hit (occurs at a probability of 1/300 in a normal state and the big winning opening 25 is opened for 1.8 seconds) occurs at a probability of 1 / 1.6, but the ST ends. Rush continues until. That is, the rush is positioned as a further special state during a part or the entire period during ST. In addition, during the big hit and the small hit, the symbol is not changed.

  Here, the definition of the rush may be a state in which the small hit probability is improved. However, during the ST, the small hit probability is uniformly improved, but it is difficult to win the big winning opening 25 even in the small hit in the time saving other than the rush, In a rush, a gaming machine that can easily win a prize can be assumed. Therefore, when targeting a gaming machine having such a configuration, the probability of a small hit is improved as compared with the normal state, while the large winning opening 25 is reduced as compared with the time reduction. The state in which the winning rate of the game is improved may be defined as a rush, and in this case, the rush includes a small hit generated during the rush. In other words, the rush is more advantageous than usual in the condition for generating a start winning (winning to the second starting port 24 or the like) than in the normal state, and a large winning (winning to the special winning opening 25) is generated by the occurrence of a small hit. The condition to be generated can be defined as a game state that is more effective for the player than the normal state and the time reduction. In addition, although the rush time is set as the time reduction during the ST, the game machine may be set to reduce the time from the rush time, or may be set to a game machine that cannot generate a small hit when the time is reduced.

  FIG. 3 shows a state transition of the gaming machine 1, in which each state of the big hit, the small hit, the rush, the time saving, and the normal state is represented by each corresponding level, and the actual output voltage is shown for the big hit signal and the special state signal. Are shown at levels corresponding to. In this case, ST (the entire period of the special state) corresponds to the period of circle numbers 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9, time saving corresponds to the period of circle numbers 3, 8, and rush corresponds to the period of circle numbers 4, 6, and 9. It should be noted that the period of the circled number 6 indicates that the entire period of ST is a rush.

  The jackpot signal is output during the jackpot, that is, during the period of circled numbers 2, 5, and 7 in the figure, and the special state signal is output in any of the jackpot, rush, and time saving periods, that is, during the period of circled numbers 2 to 9. Since these signals are output, it is possible to specify that any of the special states of rush and time saving has been achieved during the period of circle numbers 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9 by using these state signals. Or the break of the period between the time reduction and the rush cannot be specified. Note that a special state signal that does not output during the big hit may be adopted.

  The special state signal (first special state signal) depends on the previous game state during the small hit (the signal level is continued), so the signal is output even during the small hit at ST, but is output even during the small hit in the normal state. However, the special state signal may be output when a small hit occurs in the normal state so that the small hit is output as the special state signal. Also, the example of the gaming machine that is the ST of the number of cuts, but a gaming machine that becomes a rush in a part of the normal probability change and time saving that is not ST, a gaming machine that distributes the ST itself, or rush and time saving May be targeted for a gaming machine in which the special state = rush without performing the sorting lottery (the gaming machine is optimal in the first pattern to be described later). Any special state may be targeted in a state of only one of them, or in a state advantageous to the other players. In addition, although the case where the special state occurrence condition is satisfied by the end of the big hit is illustrated, for example, the special state is established only when a specific big hit (a so-called probable big hit or the like) ends, or a specific number (for example, a so-called ceiling function) The special condition occurrence condition may be any condition as long as the special condition occurrence condition is set in advance, such as the special condition occurrence condition being satisfied when a big hit does not occur even if the symbol change is performed 1000 times).

  The gaming machine 2 has a state display section 26 that indicates the gaming state of the gaming machine 1 and the state of the gaming machine 2, a bill insertion slot 27 into which a bill (money value) is inserted, an operation input from a player, and the progress of the game. Along with the touch panel type liquid crystal display unit 28 for displaying game data such as the number of symbol changes (the number of times of start) and the probability of a big hit, and lending information indicating the lending status in the gaming device 2, a payout for paying out balls and balls. It has a button 29, a dispensing nozzle 30 through which the dispensed ball passes, a card insertion slot 31 into which a general card or a membership card is inserted, and a detachable counting tray 32 located below the lower tray 12 of the gaming machine 1. .

  The gaming machine 2 is a lending machine with a so-called counting function for each unit. Of the received money (balance), the balance obtained by reducing the consideration of the lending, and the remaining ball count repaid by replaying out of the ball count counted. This is a device that can issue (all issuance) general cards that can identify balls. The balance indicates a usable amount (remaining money value) of the player, which is obtained by subtracting a value of the lending process (a value of the lending process) from the amount of money deposited by the player. The possessed ball indicates the game value acquired by the player through the game, and the game value (acquired value) obtained by excluding the game value given by the replay process and the game value used for the exchanged prize from the counted game value. Is shown. The ball held on the general card is settled at the POS, and the balance is settled at the balance adjuster.

  That is, when the gaming machine 2 accepts money (money accepting process), the amount of money added to the balance is displayed on both the gaming machine 1 and the gaming machine 2 and displayed, and the lending of the gaming machine 1 is performed with the balance. When the button 14 is pressed (a lending operation or a granting operation), a lending ball (a value-added value) for one unit of lending (for example, 500 yen) is paid out from the gaming machine 1 (a value-adding process), and the amount corresponding to the rate is a balance. Debited from. Note that the money can receive a portion corresponding to a plurality of compensation processes (for example, up to 10,000 yen).

  When the counting ball is received, the counting ball is specified as a possession ball, and a refund process (replay process of the possession ball) in which the possession ball is repaid in response to pressing of the payout button 29 is enabled. The value of the ball (for example, the same number as the number of refunded balls) is subtracted. When the return button 15 of the gaming machine 1 is pressed down (accepting the issuance operation) in a state where the balance and the ball are remaining, a ball game ticket which can specify the balance and the ball held in the gaming machine 2 is issued. It should be noted that split issuance in which only a portion of the ball or the balance is to be issued is also possible. In addition, when a ball is accepted, the balance and the ball are taken over.

  The gaming device 2 uses the serial communication with the relay device 4 in the management device 6 to perform a money receiving process, a value providing process, a balance or a ball, a loan ball, a refund ball, a deposit amount, a counted ball, a loan ball, or the like. It is possible to specify various information such as the amount of sales for the loaned ball and the reception and issuance processing of the dimmed coupon, and these are pulse signals (for example, one pulse for every 1,000 yen of deposit, one pulse for every 100 yen of sales). , Etc.). Note that the communication in the lending process may be performed directly between the gaming machine 1 and the gaming device 2 without passing through the relay device 4.

  By the way, during the ST, it is necessary to know not only the starting safe, but also the safety due to the winning in the special winning opening 25 (hereinafter, a large winning), the winning in the general winning opening 22 (hereinafter, a general winning), etc. It is important in analyzing information. In the case of a gaming machine of the type which outputs the above-mentioned game signal, safe information (special safe information) indicating the safe for the entire prize (hereinafter, all safes) during the ST based on the game signal and safe (hereinafter, safe) for the start prize. Since the safe information (special start information) indicating the start safe) can be grasped, the management device 6 determines the safe (special exclusion safe) that excludes the start safe from all the safes during the ST, that is, the big prize and the general The game information is managed so as to include information (special exclusion information) indicating a safe portion by winning.

  By the way, as the gaming machine 1, in addition to the above-mentioned gaming signal, a gaming machine that outputs a big winning signal or a rush signal as described below can be assumed. Is also managed.

  Large winning signal (other winning signal) = output when a large winning is achieved. It is assumed that one output indicates one winning and is also output during a big hit, but may be output only during a rush. When the number of large wins (other winning information) is specified by the big win signal indicating the number of winnings, the large winning prize ball, which is a game value given for winning the large winning opening 25 one time, is multiplied. Thus, a large safe (other safe), which is a 25-minute safe, can be specified. Therefore, the big win signal indicating the number of big wins is exemplified as another safe signal corresponding to the other safes. A game signal indicating a large safe may be used as another winning signal. The same applies to the start signal and the like.

  -Rush signal (special state signal, second special state signal) = a signal that can specify during rush (first special state period), and is output only during rush. Is output, for example, during a big hit and during a rush (in this case, a rush signal output period other than the big hit signal output period is a rush) so that it can be specified in combination with another state signal. Such a state signal may be used.

  When the management device 6 also manages a gaming machine of a type that includes a big winning signal or a rush signal as an output target as a game signal, the management device 6 may input a large winning signal or a rush signal from the gaming machine 1 as an input pattern. A plurality of input patterns can be assumed depending on whether or not a big winning signal or a rush signal is input. That is, a first pattern in which both the big winning signal and the rush signal are not to be input, a second pattern in which a large winning signal is to be input but the rush signal is not to be input, and a rush signal in which the rush signal is to be input. The winning signal can be assumed to be a third pattern that is not an input target and a fourth pattern that is an input target of both the big winning signal and the rush signal.

  It should be noted that it is possible to envisage inputting other winning signals instead of the winning signal, or input patterns of receiving all the winning signals, other winning signals, and rush signals, etc. For this purpose, in the present embodiment, first to fourth patterns corresponding to whether or not a big winning signal or a rush signal is input will be mainly described.

  Here, in the second to fourth patterns, the actual operation of the gaming machine 1 is the same as that in the first pattern. However, compared to the first pattern, the big winning signal in the second pattern, the rush signal in the third pattern, The fourth pattern corresponds to a gaming machine 1 that outputs a big winning signal and a rush signal.

  In the case of the first pattern in which the large winning signal or the rush signal is not output from the gaming machine 1 and is not an input target, not only the number of large winnings and the general winning cannot be distinguished, but also the time saving and the rush cannot be distinguished. In the second and fourth patterns for inputting a large winning signal, the number of large winnings and winning in the general winning opening 22 can be distinguished, and the third for inputting a rush signal. In the four patterns, the special state, which was in the middle of the game, can be distinguished from the special state, such as time reduction and rush, so that the winning can be distinguished.

Therefore, the management device 6 can set which one of the first to fourth patterns is to be selected for each model, and sets corresponding setting information in advance.
FIG. 4 shows setting information, in which the following items are set.

  Aggregation method = an input pattern for aggregating game information, a first pattern (corresponding to FIG. 5) that does not target a large winning signal and a rush signal, and a second pattern (corresponding to FIG. 7) that receives a large winning signal. Correspondence), a third pattern (corresponding to FIG. 8) in which the rush signal is input, and a fourth pattern (corresponding to FIG. 9) in which both the big winning signal and the rush signal are input are selected.

-S prize ball normal = game value given for one start winning at normal time (normally left-handed, corresponding to first starting port 23)
・ S prize ball special = Game value given to one start winning during a special hit during the special state (during right hand during special hit, during the big hit, corresponds to the second starting port 24)
-Big winning prize ball = game value given to winning in the big winning opening 25 per time-Set small hit safe = expected value of safe per small hitting Fig. 4 is set for each model It may be set as possible, but of course, it may be set according to other divisions, such as setting only the entire game hall.

  In the present embodiment, a game signal common to the first starting port 23 and the second starting port 24 is employed as a start winning signal for simplification of the description, so that the normal state and the special state are used as shown in FIG. An S prize ball (normal S prize ball, special S prize ball special) is set for distinction, and the S safe is specified by specifying the number of prize balls to be subjected to the S prize according to the state. When the winning signal is output separately from the second starting port 24, the starting winning is distinguished and specified, and the S1 award ball corresponding to the first starting port 23 and the S2 award ball corresponding to the second starting port 24 are provided. Is set as a normal S prize ball, and a value obtained by summing the S safe corresponding to the first starting port 23 and the S safe corresponding to the second starting port 24 specified therefrom is specified as the S safe. Is also good. In this case, S-safe and the like can be managed more appropriately for a model that wins the second starting port 24 in the normal state and a model that wins the first starting port 23 in the middle.

The management device 6 totals the game information according to the selected input pattern.
FIG. 5 shows the tabulated result when the first pattern is selected. The S-safe corresponding to the start winning and the exclusion safe corresponding to the safe except the S-safe from the entire safe are managed separately. The following items are set as management targets.

  The time and state = time are record-corresponding times and record creation times, but may be any time as long as they correspond to records, such as a record confirmation time and an event occurrence time such as a big hit. The state is specified by a state signal in a state corresponding to the record.

・ Out, safe, difference = Out is the number of balls driven into the gaming machine (consumption value), Safe is the number of payout balls according to winnings during the game (prize grant value, all safes), and the difference is the difference between safe and out It is.
S, S winning, S safe, S output rate = S is the number of symbol changes, S winning is the starting winning number (starting information), S safe is safe by S winning (S winning x S prize ball according to state, starting Information, start safe), and the S output rate are the output rates for the S safe (the ratio of out to (S) safe (= S safe ÷ out), start information).

・ Exclusion safe, exclusion rate = exclusion safe is safe (safe-S safe) for winnings other than the starting ports 23 and 24 (large winning opening 25, general winning opening 22), and exclusion rate is other safes Rate (= exclusion safe ÷ out). All of them are exclusion information, the special exclusion information is in Anaka, and the other is the same.
-Outgoing rate, S% = Outgoing rate is safe / out (safe information), and S% is the ratio of out to S (= S out).

  In the first pattern, since the rush signal is not used as the input object, the time saving and the rush are not distinguished. The winnings with 22 are not classified and are collectively counted as exclusion safes, etc., but if the gaming machine that is always in rush in a special state without time reduction is subject to management, the exclusion safe and exclusion rate etc. It is possible to grasp how much application has occurred during the rush. In addition, usually, the total is divided into the sweet and medium (time saving or rush), the big hit and the state, and the average and the total for one record are totaled. In addition, the total of all states is targeted.

FIG. 6 shows the state transition of the gaming machine 1 corresponding to the second to fourth patterns, that is, collectively showing at least one of the big winning signal and the rush signal.
FIG. 7 shows the tabulated result when the second pattern is selected. The S-safe, the large safe corresponding to the big prize, and the other safes except the S-safe and the large safe from the overall safe are managed separately. I do. In FIG. 7, the following items are set corresponding to the second pattern, but the description of the already described items is omitted. The same applies to the third and subsequent patterns.

  ・ Large prize, large safe, large prize rate = large prize is the number of prizes in the large prize opening 25, large safe is the safe for the large prize (large prize × number of large prize prize balls), and large prize is the large safe Participation rate (= large safe ÷ out).

-Other safes, other participation rate = Other safes are safes (safe-S-safe-great safe) for winning (other prizes) to the general winning opening 22, and other participation rates are other safes' output rates (= other safes). Out).
・ Small hit = Estimated number of small hits (large safe / set small hit safe).

  In the second pattern, a large winning signal is input, so that a large safe (other safes) is specified, and then a safe (all safes) or an S safe (startup safe) is subtracted from other safes (excluded safes). Has been identified. The general winning signal (other winning signal) is input instead of the big winning signal, and the other winning (other winning information) is specified similarly to the big winning, and the other safe (other winning information) is specified similarly to the large safe. Thus, the large safe (exclusion information in this case) may be specified by subtracting the safe and the S safe in the same manner as the other safes. In this case, it suffices if the fifth pattern can be selected.

  FIG. 8 shows the totaling result when the third pattern is selected. The special state is divided into rushes and time savings, and is managed differently from the second pattern. Identify. In FIG. 8, the following items are set.

  ・ Large prize, large safe, other safe, other prize rate = large prize is large safe 賞 large prize prize ball number, large safe is safe-S safe-other safe, other safe is safe-S safe in normal and reduced hours For jackpots and rushes, out × other outage ratios, the other outage ratios are the average of the other outage ratios during normal hours and rush hours, and the other in the jackpots and rushes.

  In the third pattern, unlike the second pattern, the rush signal (the corresponding special game information is the first special safe information, etc. is the first special safe information) and the time saving (the second special state, the corresponding game information is different) by the rush signal. Is the second special safe information, etc.), but the large winning signal is not input, but is determined as described above. That is, it is considered that a small hit does not occur during working hours, and safes other than the S-safe are totaled as other safes, and the other output rate (second special exclusion output rate) based on the totaling result is calculated for the big hit and the rush. The other participation rate (the first other safe part corresponding to the second special exclusion rate) is regarded as the other safe (the first other safe part corresponding to the second special exclusion rate). The other safe, safe (all safes corresponding to the first special safe information) and S-safe (start safe corresponding to the second special start information) are large safe (first special corresponding to the first special large safe). Exclusion information).

  In addition, when specifying the special exclusion information including other cases, the starting safe is excluded from all safes, that is, the calculation in the safe unit is exemplified. By specifying by a calculation other than the safe unit such as calculation in the unit of the output rate so as to specify the output rate, the exclusion safe part may be specified by excluding the start safe part from all the safe parts. Shows safe or output rate.

FIG. 9 shows the tabulated result when the fourth pattern is selected. The special state is managed by dividing it into rush hours and time savings, and a large safe or the like is specified similarly to the second pattern.
In the fourth pattern, the definition and determination of words are the same as in the second pattern, but the special state (Amanaka) is divided into time reduction and rush compared to the second pattern.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
According to the first pattern, it is particularly desirable to target a gaming machine that rushes the whole Amaka, but it is possible to grasp the rush output rate in addition to the conventional overall output rate and the output rate by the start safe, It is possible to check the state of the gaming machine more appropriately in the special state.

  According to the second pattern or the fifth pattern, which is a modified pattern, even if the gaming machine can generate both the time saving and the rush as the kanchu, the kanchu using the big prize signal or the general prize signal can be used. In this case, the rush portion and the general prize portion are distinguished from each other, so that it is easy to confirm the payout status.

  According to the third pattern, even in a gaming machine capable of generating both a time reduction and a rush as an Amanaka, by managing a ball-out situation during the abatement period in which the occurrence of a small hit is not so expected, a general game in the Amanaka can be achieved. It is easy to check the payout status of the winnings.

  Further, according to the third pattern, since the payout situation by the general prize does not change much during the rush hour and the time reduction, the output rate during the time reduction is regarded as the output rate of the general prize during the rush hour. As a result, even if the gaming machine can generate both the time reduction and the rush, it is possible to manage the payout status of the small hit prize during the rush.

  By setting the exclusion safe as a management target, it is possible to more appropriately check the state of the gaming machine in the special state, and to select the first pattern to the fourth pattern (the fifth pattern when the fifth pattern is selectable). By selectively adopting (pattern), by specifying game information that can be specified according to the selected input pattern, even when a plurality of signal output patterns are assumed from the gaming machine side regarding the rush Thus, it is possible to more appropriately manage the game information.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention can be modified or expanded as follows without being limited to the above embodiment.
Although the safe and the participation rate are exemplified as the safe information, only one of the safe and the participation rate may be managed as the safe information. In this case, for example, in the case of the participation rate, the numerical value changes according to the safe, so that the game information corresponds to the safe. The same applies to the case where the number of start winnings is managed as the start information or the case where the number of other wins is managed as the other winning information.

  As an example of the first other safe portion corresponding to the second special exclusion output rate, the example of using the output rate during the time reduction without considering the small hit during the time reduction was used. After being provided and subtracted from the output rate during working hours, etc., the output rate and safe during the rush may be specified as the corresponding first and other safe components.

  Each setting value may be set by an administrator arbitrarily through an operation input, may be set in advance by the manufacturer of the management device 6, or may be set by downloading setting information from an external (for example, a chain store headquarters) server. May be.

  All of the illustrated game information may be directly specified by the input signal or may be indirectly specified by using an arithmetic expression. In addition, as the model, any classification may be used as long as the type of the gaming machine is indicated, such as a maker unit or a specification unit.

  The numerical values, the number of digits, the items, and the like are examples, and any numerical values may be adopted. In addition, the identification output may be in any output form, such as adding a symbol other than the example, and the output may be at least printing or display output.

  Either of the above and the excess may be adopted, and the expression such as “reached” is an expression corresponding to both the above and the excess. The same applies to the following, and expressions such as “not reached” are expressions corresponding to both.

  As a target gaming machine, a gaming machine other than the illustrated gaming machine such as a so-called enclosed type which manages a game medium only by data can be adopted. The game medium is expressed as a game value as necessary in consideration of a so-called enclosure type.

  In the present embodiment, all the processes are performed by the management device 6, but the processes may be performed by the relay device 4, the game device 2, or the like, or may be performed by a plurality of devices. Further, the illustrated items and configurations may be combined in any manner, including modified examples, or may be provided with configurations that are not adopted as appropriate.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 4 is a relay device (input means), and 6 is a management device (game information specifying means, exclusion information specifying means, management means).
