You can withdraw the stored balls from accounts with other lending rates that are different from the lending rate and replay.
For example, when a player plays a game with a pachinko machine 10a installed in a corner A (4 yen corner), the player withdraws from the stored balls of a 2-yen account and replays the game. In the lending machine 20 and the replay machine 60 in the same corner, the stored balls can be paid out from an account of another rate different from the account of the own rate, and the pachinko machine 10a can be replayed.
In the following description, withdrawing the game medium from an account at a rate other than the own rate and performing the game (replay) will be referred to as "boarding" or "boarding replay".
In addition, the lending rate (own rate) associated with the corner where the player enters is called the "boarding usage rate", and the lending rate (other rate) used by the player for boarding is called the "boarding withdrawal rate". ,explain.

As shown in FIG. 2, the lending machine 20 has a bill insertion slot 21 for inserting a predetermined bill, a card insertion slot 22 for inserting a card (for example, a membership card or a one-day card), information on games and information on storage of balls. Display unit 23 for displaying, etc., payout button 24 for paying out game media from stored balls, recording medium return button 25 for returning cards, etc. at the end of the game, multiple buttons, predetermined selection operations, etc. It is provided with an input unit 26 or the like composed of a ten-key or the like capable of inputting.

When the payout button 24 is operated, a predetermined number of game media are paid out within the range of the stored balls (reserved ball replay balls) according to the lending rate. Further, a ball storage replay signal including the number of ball storage replay balls is transmitted to the hall computer 70 and the ball storage management device 80.

In addition, the payout button 24 has a function of paying out both the quantity of the game media deposited in the game hall on the day and the quantity of the game media deposited in the game hall before the previous day among the stored balls held by the player. However, when the payout button 24 is operated, which one to pay out can be set by the manager of the amusement park.
By providing a button separately from the payout button 24, one of the buttons may be paid out when one of the buttons is operated.

The replay machine 60 displays each screen regarding the payout of the replay on the display unit. From the screen displayed on this display unit, the player accepts the selection operation and pays out the game medium from the game medium payout outlet.
Specifically, when the player performs an operation related to boarding, the replay machine 60 stores balls in an account at another rate (boarding withdrawal rate) different from its own rate (boarding usage rate). By converting it into a ball and paying it out, it is possible to replay.
On the other hand, when the replay machine 60 does not perform the operation related to boarding by the player and the operation related to the replay is performed, the replay machine 60 is a game medium from the stored balls of the self-rate account set in advance in the replay machine 60. Pay out.

The ball storage management device 80 has at least a member management function for managing information about a player registered as a member in the game hall, a ball storage management function for managing the number of balls stored in advance by the player in the game field, and a ball storage number. It is equipped with a ball storage conversion function that converts the quantity of the boarding usage rate, and a communication function that sends and receives information on ball storage between other devices (rental machine 20, counter 50, replay machine 60).

The ball storage management device 80 stores, for example, a member database, a ball storage database, and the like.
The member database stores information about the player, and is composed of, for example, a medium ID such as a membership card that can identify the player, a personal identification number, a name, a gender, a last visit date, a number of visits, and the like.
The ball storage database is composed of, for example, a medium ID, the number of balls stored, and the like, and is managed for each account at each lending rate.
For example, an A ball for an account related to a lending rate (4 yen / ball), a B ball for an account related to a lending rate (2 yen / ball), a C ball for an account related to a lending rate (1 yen / ball), and a lending rate ( The number of coins stored is the lending rate, such as D for the account related to (20 yen / sheet), E for the account related to the lending rate (10 yen / sheet), and F for the account related to the lending unit price (5 yen / sheet). It is stored for each account.

The ball storage management device 80 configured in this way updates the data in the ball storage database based on the information transmitted from the lending machine 20, the counting machine 50, and the replay machine 60.
For example, when information including the medium ID, the counting value, the lending rate, and the like is received from the counting machine 50, the data of the corresponding player is positively updated based on these information.
Further, when information including the medium ID, the lending rate, etc. is received from the replay machine 60 together with the operation signal (ball storage replay signal), the data of the corresponding player is negatively updated based on the information.
Further, when information including the medium ID, the lending rate, etc. is received from the lending machine 20 together with the operation signal (reservoir replay signal) transmitted when the payout button 24 is operated, it corresponds based on these information. Negatively update the player's data.

In addition, the ball storage management device 80 uses the number of stored balls stored in the account of the boarding withdrawal rate (other rate) when the lending machine 20 or the replay machine 60 performs an operation related to boarding. ) Is converted to the quantity.
That is, the number of stored balls in the account of another rate is converted so as to have the same value as the own rate, and calculated as the number of stored balls that can be paid out of the game medium in the lending machine 20 and the replay machine 60.

The prize exchange device 90 is a so-called POS terminal that performs an exchange process when exchanging a game medium or a stored ball acquired by a game for a predetermined prize. For example, a receipt issued from the counter 50 or a counting result can be obtained. The quantity of game media is read from the associated membership card or one-day card, and the read quantity is compared with the number of prizes corresponding to the prizes that the player wants to exchange, and these are linked and processed, or from the stored balls. Perform processing such as withdrawing the number of prizes.

Further, the prize exchange device 90 operates as an example of the intention confirmation means in the present invention, and executes the entry intention confirmation process for requesting the player's intention confirmation related to the entry in addition to the prize exchange process.
In the replay using the stored balls, the player's intention is not required to withdraw from the account at his / her own rate, but the player's profit is assumed for the replay entry on the premise of withdrawal from other rates. Since there is a risk of damage, it is necessary to confirm the intention of the player in advance.
Therefore, as a gaming device that can obtain the player's intention confirmation, the prize exchange device 90 is provided with a function to confirm the intention of the player.

That is, it is possible to appropriately change the setting of confirmation of intention to enter during the operation of the amusement park.

By such a boarding intention confirmation process, the prize exchange device 90 transmits information that can identify the player's intention confirmation to the hall computer 70 via the ball storage management device 80 in association with the medium ID read by the reader 100. .. As a result, in the hall computer 70, the allowance (validation) of the entry process or the prohibition (invalidation) of the entry process for each player is set (setting of the entry intention setting flag).

In addition, such confirmation of intention to enter is performed during the day (one business) unless the player confirms the intention to "enter" once and then the setting is changed to "do not enter" by the player. The setting is enabled for the day). That is, at the start of business the next day, the setting for confirming the intention of all players to enter is returned to "Do not enter".
Not limited to this, the current setting may be continuously activated until the setting is changed by the player without providing such a valid period.

The boarding confirmation terminal 110 is an example of the intention confirmation means in the present invention, and is a dedicated terminal for confirming the intention of the player involved in boarding. For example, it is provided at the island edge of the game machine island where the game machine 10 is installed.
The boarding confirmation terminal 110 has the same boarding intention confirmation function as the above-mentioned prize exchange device 90.

The information disclosure device 120 operates as an example of the intention confirmation means in the present invention, and in addition to such a display function, executes the entry intention confirmation process for confirming the intention of the player related to the above-mentioned entry.
Since the entry confirmation process is the same as the operation of the prize exchange device 90 and the entry confirmation terminal 110 described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
Next, the hall computer 70, which performs a characteristic operation in the present embodiment, will be described.

[Hall computer]
As shown in FIG. 4, the hall computer 70 includes a communication unit 71 that transmits and receives various signals and various information from each device in the amusement park, and a storage unit that stores programs and data for executing various functions included in the hall computer 70. 72, a display unit 73 such as a liquid crystal display that displays predetermined information on a screen, an input unit 74 such as a keyboard or mouse that is operated to input predetermined information or commands, and prints and outputs the predetermined information on a predetermined paper. A gaming device including an output unit 77 of a printer or the like, an arithmetic unit 76 such as an ALU that performs predetermined arithmetic processing, a control unit 75 (computer) that controls each of the above units, and the like, and is mainly operated by a clerk of a game hall or the like. Is.

The storage unit 72 stores a boarding record database.
The boarding record database is a boarding record database for each player (see Fig. 5 (a)) that stores the boarding record for each player using the medium ID as a key, and a boarding record for each game field that stores the boarding record for each game hall. It has a performance database (see FIG. 5B).
For example, each lending rate has items such as "number of passengers withdrawn", "number of passengers withdrawn", "number of withdrawals", and "number of passengers withdrawn". Each information is stored for each period.
Each information stored in the "current month" item is, for example, the sum of each information of the "current day" item in the same month, and each information stored in the "current year" item is, for example, the "current month" in the same year. It is the sum of each information of the items.
In addition, without providing the "current month" item and the "current year" item, each information for the "current month" and "current year" periods is displayed on each screen as the sum of the information for the "current day" items. It may be (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

The number of players withdrawing balls from an account at another rate (withdrawal rate) at the time of boarding is stored in the "number of players withdrawing from boarding".
The number of players who have paid out at their own rate (boarding usage rate) using the stored balls withdrawn from an account at another rate (boarding withdrawal rate) at the time of boarding is stored in the "boarding usage number".
The number of game media drawn out at the time of boarding is stored in the "number of boarding / withdrawal".
The number of game media paid out at the time of boarding is stored in the "number of boarding used".

In addition, the "boarding intention setting flag", "boarding approved number of people", and "boarding non-approved number of people" are stored in the boarding record database for each player.
The "boarding intention setting flag" indicates the current setting status of the intention confirmation related to boarding, and is set in the above-mentioned "boarding intention confirmation process".
Specifically, when the information (1) indicating "to enter" or the information (0) indicating "not to enter" is stored and "1" is set in the entry intention setting flag, the corresponding player Indicates that entry is permitted, and if there are both own rate and other rate stored balls, withdrawal of other rate balls will be given priority.
On the other hand, when "0" is set in the entry intention setting flag, it means that the corresponding player does not allow entry, and if there are both own rate and other rate of balls stored. , Withdrawal of self-rated balls will be given priority, and entry will be restricted.

"Number of people approved for boarding" indicates the number of people who confirmed their intention to "board" in the confirmation of their intention to board during business on the day.
"Number of people not approved for boarding" indicates the number of people who confirmed their intention to "not board" in the confirmation of their intention to board during business on the day.

Further, as described above, in the confirmation of the intention to enter, the intention confirmation of "entering" and "not entering" can be repeated. When the intention is confirmed repeatedly in this way, even if the intention to "enter" or "do not enter" is confirmed multiple times during business on the day, the "number of people approved for entry" and "number of people not approved for entry" will be the same. Only when the intention is confirmed the first time it is operated, "+1" is counted.
Therefore, it is possible to accurately grasp the number of players who have confirmed their intention to enter the venue on the day of the event.

In addition, the storage unit 72 stores the replay history database.
The replay history database stores the game history by replay for each game machine 10. For example, "game date and time", "member number (medium ID)", "number of stored balls before payout", "number of replays (replay number) It is composed of items such as "number of payouts", "commission", "number of balls stored after payout", "number of use of boarding", "rate of withdrawal of boarding", and "number of withdrawal of boarding". The data is updated each time the player plays a replay game.

In addition, the storage unit 72 stores the entry priority database.
The entry priority database stores the priority of the account from which the stored balls are withdrawn at the time of entry by lending rate.
For example, in the ball 4-yen rate, the priority is set so that the withdrawal from the 2-yen account is ranked first, followed by the 1-yen account and the 4-yen account which is the own rate account.
Similarly, at the ball 2 yen rate, for example, a 1 yen account, a 4 yen account, and a 2 yen account are set in this order, and at the ball 1 yen rate, for example, a 2 yen account, a 4 yen account, and a 1 yen account are set in that order. It is set.
By setting such a priority order, for example, in the game machine 10 with a 4-yen exchange rate, if the stored balls deposited in the 2-yen account are exhausted due to the progress of the game (when it cannot be allocated), then the withdrawal from the 1-yen account is made. After that, when the 1-yen account runs out of balls (when it cannot be allocated), the payable accounts will be transferred in sequence, such as from the 4-yen account.

Further, such a priority order can be appropriately set and changed according to the business policy of the amusement park and the like.
For example, other rate accounts with a smaller rate difference from their own rate have higher priority, and conversely, accounts with a lending rate with a larger rate difference from their own rate have higher priority. Can also be rearranged.
It is also possible to raise the priority of withdrawals from accounts with non-operational rates that indicate lending rates that are not operated at the amusement park.
In addition, the priority order of withdrawals may be appropriately optimized so as to be advantageous to the player according to the balance of the ball storage account held by the member.
Moreover, such priority setting can be set not only for each lending rate but also for all lending rates.

The control unit 75 includes a CPU, ROM, RAM, and the like, and is a control means that operates as a computer.
The control unit 75 controls the game signals received by the communication unit 71 while monitoring the inputs from the component units of the hall computer 70 based on the control program and data stored in the ROM. Predetermined game information is calculated and aggregated based on the operation signal, and stored in the storage unit 72.
For example, a game for each game machine 10 or each model based on a game signal (for example, an out signal or a safe signal, or a medal insertion signal or a medal payout signal) output from the game machine 10 and received by the communication unit 71. Information (for example, the number of outs, the number of safes, the number of inputs and the number of payouts) is calculated, aggregated, and stored in the storage unit 72.
In addition, the control unit 75 performs a characteristic operation as described below while aggregating predetermined game information.

The control unit 75 operates as an example of the counting means in the present invention, and counts the number of players who have boarded the game (number of boarding players counting process).
Specifically, when the control unit 75 receives information on the ball storage replay (ball storage replay signal, medium ID, lending rate, etc.) from the ball storage management device 80, the game corresponding to the medium ID is based on the information. It is specified at which lending rate (boarding usage rate) the person used the stored balls of the account at which lending rate (boarding withdrawal rate) to board.
Then, the control unit 75 determines that the stored balls have been withdrawn from the account with the withdrawal rate, and counts the number of withdrawals. In addition, it is determined that the game medium has been paid out at the boarding usage rate using this stored ball, and the number of boarding users is counted.

Next, a method of counting the number of players who have boarded in (the number of players who have boarded and withdrawn and the number of players who have boarded in) will be described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6F.
In the following explanation, as a prerequisite, as shown in FIG. 6A, a player (medium ID: 0001) has a "1000" ball for a 4-yen account and a "4000" ball for a 2-yen account, and 1 yen. It is assumed that "6000" balls are stored in the account, and the number of payout units by replay is "125" balls at the 4 yen rate, "200" balls at the 2 yen rate, and "200" at the 1 yen rate. If the entry priority is ball 4 yen rate, 2 yen account → 1 yen account → 4 yen account, if ball 2 yen rate, 1 yen account → 4 yen account → 2 yen account, ball In the case of 1 yen rate, it is assumed that the order is set in the order of 2 yen account → 4 yen account → 1 yen account.
In addition, it is assumed that the player has set the confirmation of intention to enter by "entering".
In the present embodiment, the stored balls can be pulled out from the lending machine 20 or the replaying machine 60 for boarding, but in the following description, the case where the lending machine 20 is used will be described as an example.

First, for example, when a player plays a game for the first time after the start of business on the day on a pachinko machine 10a (a first game machine to which a first rate is associated) at a 4-yen corner, as shown in FIG. 6 (b). , "4500" is displayed as a replayable number on the display unit 23 of the rental machine 20.
In this state, when the payout button 24 is operated, the 2-yen account is prioritized according to the entry priority, and "250" balls are withdrawn as the number of entry and withdrawal from the stored balls of the 2-yen account, and this is reduced to 4 yen. The converted "125" balls are paid out from the lending machine 20 as the number of used balls.
At this time, the control unit 75 identifies that the player has boarded at the ball 4-yen rate using the balls stored in the 2-yen account, and counts (counts) the number of people who have boarded and withdrawn at the ball 2-yen rate. Count (count) the number of people who use the ball at the 4-yen rate (first counting means).
That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the numerical values of the number of people who have entered and withdrawn at the ball 2 yen rate and the number of people who have used the ball at the 4 yen rate are each "+1", and the entry record database for each player. Is updated.

After that, as the game progresses, for example, when the number of coins stored in the 2-yen account reaches "0" or the amount that cannot be allocated, when the payout button 24 is operated, the 1-yen account is prioritized according to the entry priority, and 1 "500" coins are withdrawn from the stored balls in the yen account as the number of coins to be withdrawn, and "125" coins converted to 4 yen are paid out from the lending machine 20 as the number of coins to be used.
At this time, the control unit 75 identifies that the player has entered the ball at the 4-yen rate using the stored balls in the 1-yen account, and counts (counts) the number of people who have entered and withdrawn at the 1-yen rate.
That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), the numerical value of the number of people withdrawn from the player at the ball 1 yen rate is "+1", and the player-specific boarding record database is updated.

Here, as shown in FIG. 6D, the numerical value of the number of passengers who boarded the ball 4 yen rate of the corresponding player is stored as "1" without being added by "+1".
This shows the case where the same player (member) has boarded multiple times at the same lending rate within one business day, and in this case, the number of players is added by "+1" each time the boarding is performed. Then, despite the fact that the same player has entered, the number of players will be added by the number of times the player has entered, and it will not be possible to calculate the exact number of players.
Therefore, if it is determined that the same player has boarded multiple times at the same lending rate within one business day, the number of players (number of passengers withdrawn and number of passengers) will not be added by "+1". There is.

After that, as the game progresses, for example, when the amount of balls stored in the 1-yen account becomes "0" or the amount that cannot be allocated, the corresponding player moves from the 4-yen corner to the 2-yen corner, and the pachinko machine 10a in the 2-yen corner. When the payout button 24 is operated on the lending machine 20 corresponding to (the second gaming machine to which the second rate is associated), "100" coins are withdrawn as the number of withdrawals from the stored balls of the 4-yen account. The number of "200" coins converted into 2 yen is paid out from the lending machine 20 as the number of used coins.
At this time, the control unit 75 identifies that the player has boarded at the ball 2 yen rate using the stored balls of the 4-yen account, and counts (counts) the number of people who have boarded and withdrawn at the ball 4-yen rate. Count (count) the number of people who use the ball at the 2-yen rate (second counting means).
That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), the numerical values of the number of people who have entered and withdrawn the ball at the 4-yen rate and the number of people who have used the ball at the 2-yen rate are each "+1", and the entry record database for each player. Is updated.

Next, for example, when the payout button 24 is operated by the lending machine 20 attached to the pachinko machine 10a in the 1-yen corner after moving from the 2-yen corner to the 1-yen corner, "50" coins are loaded and withdrawn from the stored balls in the 4-yen account. Along with being withdrawn as a number, "200" balls converted into 1 yen are paid out from the lending machine 20 as the number of used balls.
At this time, the control unit 75 identifies that the player has boarded at the ball 1-yen rate by using the balls stored in the 4-yen account, and counts (counts) the number of people who board the ball at the ball 1-yen rate.
That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (f), the numerical value of the number of passengers who boarded the ball at the 1-yen rate of the corresponding player is "+1", and the boarding record database for each player is updated.
Further, at this time, the number of players who enter and withdraw the ball at the 4-yen rate is not added by "+1" for the same reason as described above.
In other words, even if the same player makes multiple rides at the same lending rate within one business day, the numerical values of "number of passengers on board" and "number of passengers on board and withdrawal" are only "+1".
As a result, it is possible to accurately grasp the number of players who have boarded in one business day.

In the above explanation, the counted (aggregated) "number of people withdrawn" and "number of people used for boarding" are stored in the "same day" item of the boarding record database for each player by "+1" respectively (Fig.). 5 (a)), "current month" and "current year" items are also stored by "+1" in the same manner.
Further, in the above explanation, it was explained that the "number of people withdrawn" and the "number of people used for boarding" are counted (aggregated) and stored in the boarding record database for each player (see FIG. 5 (a)). The "number of boarding and withdrawal" and the "number of boarding and use" are also counted (aggregated) and stored in the player-specific boarding record database.

In this way, the control unit 75 uses the stored balls acquired in the first game machine associated with the first lending rate (boarding / withdrawal rate) to obtain a second lending rate different from that of the first game machine. The number of players who boarded in the second game machine associated with (the rate of use of boarding), or the players who boarded in the first game machine using the stored balls acquired in the second game machine. The number of people can be counted.

Further, the control unit 75 counts the number of players who have entered the game in each game field for the data of all the players.
(1) Counting the number of passengers for each rental rate The control unit 75 counts the number of players who have entered for each rental rate.
Specifically, with reference to the player-specific boarding record database (FIG. 5 (a)), the data for all players is totaled for each lending rate (number of boarding number totaling process by rate).
As shown in FIG. 5B, the aggregated result is stored in the entry record database for each amusement park.
As shown in FIG. 7, the database of boarding records by amusement park, which has been aggregated and stored in this way, can be confirmed via the display unit 73 (screen of the number of boarding members by rate).
Specifically, the number of players who boarded in each of the "current day", "current month", and "current year" periods is displayed by lending rate.
As a result, the clerk of the amusement park can grasp how many players have entered the game according to the rental rate.
As a result, it is possible to grasp the lending rate that is easy to be used or difficult to be used by entering.

(2) Counting the number of passengers for each type (by ball / medal) The control unit 75 counts the number of players who have entered each type (by ball / medal).
Specifically, the data for all players is totaled for each type with reference to the boarding record database for each player (FIG. 5A) (P / S-specific boarding number counting process). The aggregated result is stored in the storage unit 72.
As shown in FIG. 8, the number of passengers and the like for each type aggregated and stored in this way can be confirmed via the display unit 73 (P / S-specific passenger number screen).
In this way, the number of players who boarded in each of the "current day", "current month", and "current year" periods is displayed for each type (by ball / medal).
As a result, the clerk at the amusement park can grasp how many people have boarded the pachinko machine 10a and the slot machine 10b separately.

(3) Counting the number of passengers who have boarded and the number of people who have confirmed their intention to board by gender The control unit 75 counts the number of players who have boarded in by gender of the player.
Specifically, by referring to the player-specific boarding record database (FIG. 5 (a)) and the member database, the data for all players are totaled for each gender (gender-specific boarding number counting process). The aggregated result is stored in the storage unit 72.

In addition, the control unit 75 counts the number of players who have confirmed their intention to enter.
Specifically, the number of players whose "1" is stored in the "number of people approved for boarding" is counted by referring to the boarding record database by player (FIG. 5 (a)) (specific counting means). Count the number of players whose "1" is stored in the "number of people not approved for boarding" (special counting means) (counting the number of people confirming the intention to board).
Further, the control unit 75 refers to the member database and totals the number of players who have confirmed their intention to enter by gender.

As shown in FIG. 9, the number of passengers for each gender and the number of intention confirmations for each gender, which are tabulated and memorized in this way, can be confirmed via the display unit 73 (boarding intention confirmation member number screen). ..
In this way, the number of players who confirmed their intention to "enter" and the number of players who confirmed their intention to "not enter" during each period of "the day", "the current month", and "the current year". Is displayed by gender. In addition, the number of players who boarded in each of the "current day", "current month", and "current year" periods is displayed by gender.
As a result, the clerk of the amusement park can grasp the number of people who have confirmed their intention to enter or not enter by gender. In addition, it is possible to grasp how many people have boarded by gender.

In the above description, the number of players who have entered the game is counted and displayed for each lending rate (Fig. 7), type (by ball / medal) (Fig. 8), and by gender (Fig. 9). Although the explanation has been given as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the numbers may be counted and displayed in various units for each model, each game island, each manufacturer, and the like.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 75 can display the data stored in the replay history database via the display unit 73 (replay list screen).
In the example shown in FIG. 10, for example, a member (medium ID: 0001) has a self-rate (ball 1) in which "700" coins are initially stored at a predetermined date and time in a lending machine 20 installed in a 1-yen corner. By withdrawing "200" coins at a time by replaying from the yen rate account three times, the balls stored in the 1 yen rate account after withdrawal will be "100" coins, and "2000" coins will be added. Withdraw "50" coins (number of coins withdrawn) from the account of other rates (4 yen coins) that have been stored, and convert this to 1 yen to pay out "200" coins (number of coins used) from the lending machine 20. The example is shown.
As a result, it is possible to clearly grasp which lending rate account was used to carry out the entry.

Further, although not shown, on the replaylist screen, the "number of boarding and withdrawal" and the "number of boarding and withdrawal" can be aggregated and displayed for each "boarding and withdrawal rate".
Therefore, for each game machine 10, it is possible to grasp which lending rate account is likely to be used for boarding.

In the replay list screen, the game history by replay for each game machine 10 is displayed, but the description is not limited to this, and there are various types, models, game halls, rental rates, and the like. The game history of replay may be displayed in units.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 75 can display the number of passengers (members) on board for the day and the like for each loan rate via the display unit 73 (member list screen). ..
For example, "the number of balls used for 4 yen", "the number of balls used for 2 yen", and "the number of balls used for 1 yen" are displayed with reference to the player-specific boarding record database.
In addition, the cumulative value of the number of passengers used in a predetermined period is displayed for each lending rate.
For example, during the specified period (for example, one month), the cumulative value of the game balls paid out by boarding with the game machine 10 at the ball 4 yen rate is set as the "number of balls used for the basic rally of 4 yen". In addition, during this designated period, the cumulative value of the game balls paid out by entering the game machine 10 at the ball 1 yen rate is displayed as "the number of balls used in the basic rally of 1 yen".
As a result, it is possible to grasp the cumulative number of boarding usages paid out by boarding for each loan rate during the designated period.

Further, although not shown, on the member list screen, the number of game balls withdrawn from the stored balls by the entry (the number of withdrawals) can be displayed for each lending rate.
Furthermore, it is also possible to display the cumulative value of the number of game balls withdrawn from the stored balls (number of withdrawals) for each lending rate during a predetermined period (for example, "number of withdrawals for basic rally of 4 yen balls"). ).

In addition, on the member list screen, the breakdown of the number of passengers used may be displayed.
For example, if the "number of balls used for 4 yen" is "1000", the number of balls actually paid out by deducting from the stored balls of the 2 yen account is "400" balls and actually paid out by deducting from the stored balls of the 1 yen account. It may be displayed that the number of balls is "600".

Up to this point, the configuration and operation of the gaming system and the gaming device of the present embodiment have been described.
Next, the characteristic operation executed by the gaming device (hall computer 70) will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. A program that can be executed by each control unit in a gaming device such as the hall computer 70 is created based on these flowcharts and stored in each storage unit.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 12 is a “number of passengers counting process” executed in the hall computer 70.
In this process, first, when an operation related to boarding is performed in the lending machine 20 or the replay machine 60, information regarding the ball storage replay (ball storage replay signal, medium ID, lending rate, etc.) is transmitted via the ball storage management device 80. Receive (S10).
Based on this information, the player (member) corresponding to the medium ID uses the stored balls of the account at which lending rate (boarding withdrawal rate) to board at which lending rate (boarding usage rate). Identify (S11).

Next, it is determined whether or not this member has already withdrawn the stored balls from the account with the withdrawal rate during business on the day and has made the entry (S12).
Specifically, it is determined whether or not a numerical value of "1" or more is stored in the "number of people withdrawn" item of the withdrawal rate of the corresponding member by referring to the entry record database for each player.
As a result, when a numerical value of "1" or more is not stored (S12-NO), the "number of people withdrawn" is counted by +1 and stored (S13).
On the other hand, when a numerical value of "1" or more is stored (S12-YES), it is determined that the corresponding member has already withdrawn the stored balls from the account with the withdrawal rate and boarded during the business on the day, and "boarded". Do not add +1 to "Number of withdrawals".

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not this member has already paid out the stored balls at the boarding usage rate and boarded during the business on the day (S14).
Specifically, it is determined whether or not a numerical value of "1" or more is stored in the "number of passengers" item of the boarding usage rate of the corresponding member by referring to the boarding record database for each player.
As a result, when a numerical value of "1" or more is not stored (S14-NO), the "number of passengers on board" is counted by +1 and stored (S15).
On the other hand, when a numerical value of "1" or more is stored (S14-YES), it is determined that the corresponding member has already paid out the stored balls at the boarding usage rate and boarded during the business on the day, and "the number of boarding users". Do not add +1.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 13 is a “passenger number output process” executed in the hall computer 70.
In this process, first, it is determined whether or not the "ball storage" tab is selected on the ball storage management table screen displayed on the display unit 73 (S20).
When it is determined that the "reservoir" tab is selected (S20-YES), it is determined whether or not the "by lending rate" button is selected (S21). When it is determined that the "by lending rate" button is selected (S21-YES), the number of passengers by rate is totaled (S22).
This tabulation result is stored in the boarding record database for each playground of the storage unit 72, and the "number of passengers screen for each rate" is displayed on the display unit 73 (S23) (see FIG. 7).

On the other hand, when the "ball storage" tab is selected (S20-YES) and it is determined that the "ball / medal separate" button is selected (S21-NO, S24-YES), the number of passengers by P / S is totaled. It is executed (S25).
The total result is stored in the storage unit 72, and the “screen for the number of passenger members by P / S” is displayed on the display unit 73 (S26) (see FIG. 8).

In addition, when it is determined that the "Number of members" tab is selected on the ball storage management table screen (S27-YES), the number of passengers for each gender is totaled (S28), and the number of people for which the intention to confirm the number of passengers is counted. (S29)
These tabulation results are stored in the storage unit 72, and the display unit 73 displays the “number of members confirming intention to enter” screen (S30) (see FIG. 9).

In the above explanation, for a player who is determined to have entered even once during business on the day, even if it is determined that a new entry has been made, the "number of passengers withdrawn" and "number of passengers" In order not to add "+1" to the value of "the day", the method realized by managing the medium ID in the player-specific boarding record database has been illustrated, but the method is not limited to this, and for example, the player around the game machine 10. If a camera that can shoot the image is installed, the member who has boarded the camera is shot with the camera, and the shot image is stored in the storage unit 72, and the shot image taken this time does not match the already stored shot image. By other methods such as counting "+1" and not adding "+1" if they match, only "+1" may be given no matter how many times the same member enters in one business day.

[Other Embodiments]
In the above embodiment, the case where the prize exchange device 90, the entry confirmation terminal 110, and the information disclosure device 120 operate as the intention confirmation means has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the replay machine 60 is provided with the entry confirmation function. Therefore, it may be operated as a means of confirming intention.
In this case, the replay machine 60 displays a screen for requesting confirmation of intention to enter in response to the proper insertion of the membership card and the input of the password, and accepts the input from the player to exchange the prize. It can have the same function as 90 and the like.

Further, in the replay machine 60, confirmation of intention is requested every time the player performs an operation related to boarding. That is, every time the replay machine 60 is operated to withdraw the stored balls, the intention to enter is confirmed, and the entry is enabled only for this one operation of withdrawing the stored balls.
As described above, when the prize exchange device 90, the boarding confirmation terminal 110, and the information disclosure device 120 do not have the boarding intention confirmation function or are not installed in the amusement park, the replay machine 60 replaces these devices. Can execute the entry intention confirmation process.

In addition, a boarding intention confirmation function can be provided in each rental machine with a counting function.
Each machine with a counting function has at least a counting unit that counts the game media acquired by the attached game machine 10, a payout unit that pays out the counted game media and stored balls, and a player who displays a predetermined value. It is equipped with an operation display unit that can accept operations from.
In this case, in the operation display unit, a screen for requesting confirmation of intention to enter is displayed in response to the proper insertion of the membership card and the input of the password, and the input of the player is accepted, so that the prize exchange device 90 It can be provided with the same functions as.
Further, in each rental machine with a counting function, each time a player plays a game on a different game machine 10, a confirmation of intention is required. That is, the membership card is inserted into a lending machine with a counting function for each machine, and a request for confirmation of intention to board is made every time an operation related to boarding is performed.

A prize exchange device 90 having a boarding intention confirmation function, a boarding confirmation terminal 110, an information disclosure device 120, a replay machine 60, and a rental machine with a counting function for each machine may be provided in combination in the amusement park.
In this case, if the player's intention confirmation operation is performed in any of the devices, the information that can identify the player's intention confirmation is transmitted to the hall computer 70 via the ball storage management device 80, and the "boarding intention setting flag" is displayed. , "Number of people approved for boarding" and "Number of people not approved for boarding" may be set. As a result, it is possible to encourage the player to enter at various places in the amusement park.
Alternatively, the configuration may be set only when the operation of confirming the intention to enter is performed by a specific device (for example, the prize exchange device 90, the entry confirmation terminal 110, the information disclosure device 120).

Further, not limited to the replay machine 60 and the rental machine 20, not only other game devices constituting the game system 1 but also other game devices not constituting the game system 1, for example, accepting confirmation of intention to enter on the WEB service. A game device such as a possible server device can also be provided with a boarding intention confirmation function.

Further, in the above embodiment, for a player who is determined to have entered even once at the same lending rate during one business day, even if it is determined that a new entry has been made, the "number of withdrawals" and "number of withdrawals" and " Although the value of "number of passengers on board" has been described as not being "+1", the present invention is not limited to this, and "number of passengers on board" and "number of passengers on board" may be added each time a passenger is boarded.
In this case, it is counted as the "number of times" that the boarding was performed. For example, by counting the number of times of boarding for each player, each player can board many times in one business day. You can know if you went.
Further, a predetermined period may be specified to count the number of times each player has entered.

Further, in the above embodiment, even if the intention confirmation of boarding is performed a plurality of times during one business day, the "number of people approved for boarding" and the "number of people not approved for boarding" are the first operation of the confirmation of intention. The explanation is based on the configuration in which "+1" is counted only occasionally, but the limitation is limited to this, and "number of people approved for boarding" and "number of people not approved for boarding" may be added by "+1" each time the intention to board is confirmed. ..
In this case, it will be counted as the "number of times" the intention was confirmed. For example, by counting the "number of people approved for boarding" and "number of people not approved for boarding" for each player, one business day It is possible to grasp how many times each player has confirmed his / her intention.

In addition, by providing a "number of unapproved boarding" item in the boarding record database for each player, which indicates the number of players who have not yet confirmed their intention to board during the day (one business day), for example, "boarding". On the "intention confirmation member number screen", the ratio of "number of unapproved boarding" or "number of unapproved boarding" to "number of players whose intention has already been confirmed" may be displayed.
In addition, the display of "the number of players whose intentions have already been confirmed" is the sum of the number of players who have confirmed their intention to enter and the number of players who have confirmed their intention not to enter. May be displayed.

As described above, according to the gaming device and the program of the present embodiment, the gaming medium acquired in the gaming machine 10 associated with the first lending rate (board-in / withdrawal rate, other rate) is pulled out and the first By paying out the game medium on the game machine 10 associated with the second lending rate (boarding usage rate, own rate) different from the lending rate of 1, the number of players who boarded is determined for each lending rate. Aggregate to and output the aggregated result.
As a result, it is possible to grasp the number of players who have withdrawn the stored balls from the account at each lending rate and entered the game, and the number of players who have paid out at each lending rate using the withdrawn balls.
As a result, the clerk of the amusement park can grasp the lending rate that is easy to use and the lending rate that is difficult to use by entering.
Thereby, it can be used as useful information when deciding the arrangement of the game machine 10 and each device in the game hall, setting various setting data, and making a business strategy of the game hall.
For example, in a lending rate with a large number of "number of passengers on board" and "number of people on board and withdrawal", it can be useful as a judgment material when selecting the expansion or continuation of the game corner of this lending rate or the game machine 10 of the lending rate. Further, it can be useful as a judgment material when setting the internal set values (1 to 6) set in the slot machine 10b.
In addition, by arranging the boarding confirmation terminal 110 and the information disclosure device 120 near the game corner of the rental rate where the number of people using the boarding is large, it is possible to provide an environment in which the players who board the board can easily play the game. Can be done.
Further, for a rental rate in which the "number of passengers on board" and the "number of passengers on board and withdrawal" are small, the processing load on the ball storage management device 80 and the hall computer 70 can be reduced by stopping the boarding function or the like.

On the other hand, in the conventional gaming device, the number of players who move to a gaming machine with a different lending rate and play a game in a game hall where game machines associated with different lending rates are arranged is totaled for each unit time. There was something to do.
However, with such a gaming device, although the number of players who have moved to a game machine with a different rental rate can be grasped, the game medium acquired by the game machine at the rental rate before the movement is used to perform other after the movement. It was not possible to know the number of players playing with the game machines at the rental rate of. That is, it was not possible to ascertain the number of players who entered.
Therefore, it was not possible to obtain sufficient information for each lending rate to be used for the sales strategy of the amusement park.
According to the gaming device and the program of the present embodiment, it is possible to solve all or part of such problems that the conventional gaming device should improve.
