[Management device]
The management device 50 is a known so-called hall computer, and as shown in FIG. 4, a communication unit 51 for transmitting and receiving various signals and various information from each device in the amusement park, and a management device 50 for executing various functions included in the management device 50. It can be operated by a storage unit 52 that stores data such as programs and game information, a display unit 53 such as a liquid crystal display that displays predetermined information on the screen, and a game hall administrator to input predetermined information and commands. It is an information processing device that includes an input unit 54 such as a keyboard and a mouse, a control unit 55 that controls each of these units, and the like, and is mainly operated by a clerk of a game hall or the like.

The storage unit 52 stores game information, state information, model information, member information, main bonus information, time zone information, and the like.
The game information is information for each game machine 10 aggregated based on various game signals output from the external output terminal 11 of the game machine 10, and for example, a "game table number" that can uniquely identify the game table. "Out number", "Safe number", "Difference number", "Big hit number (main bonus)", "Big hit number (other than main bonus)", "Big hit probability (main bonus)", "Big hit probability (main)""Other than bonuses)", "Number of consecutive villas" indicating the number of consecutive jackpots, "Total number of games" indicating the number of games from the start of business to the present, "Big hit interval" indicating the number of games from the last jackpot to the present Items such as "the number of games", "maximum number of balls to be played" indicating the maximum number of balls to be played in one chance (one hit, a series of sections) can be associated and configured by one big hit or a series of villas.
The "big hit count (main bonus)" and "big hit probability (main bonus)" are information aggregated based on the main bonus signal output from the fourth output terminal of the external output terminal 11.

The status information is information indicating the status of each gaming machine 10, and as shown in FIG. 5, the "gaming platform number" includes "game status", "vacant platform flag", "excellent platform flag", and "recommended platform flag". ] And other items can be associated and configured.
In the "game state", for example, a jackpot state, a high probability state, a normal game state, and the like are stored. In the "vacant stand flag", "1" indicating a vacant stand or "0" indicating an operating stand is stored. In the "excellent table flag", "1" indicating an excellent table or "0" indicating other than that is stored. In the "recommended table flag", "1" indicating a recommended table or "0" indicating other than that is stored.

The "vacant table flag" operates as an example of the vacant table determination means described later by the control unit 55 to determine the vacant table among the game tables in the game hall, and the game table determined to be vacant. "1" is set in association with the game console number.
Further, even in response to the remote control operation possessed by the clerk of the game hall who confirmed the vacant table, "1" is set in association with the game table number of the game table.
The "excellent stand flag" and the "recommended stand flag" are set by remote control operation by the clerk of the amusement park or input from the clerk's input unit 54, but are automatically set instead of or in addition to this. You may do so. For example, when the game information of the gaming machine 10 (for example, the number of big hits) reaches a predetermined reference value, the gaming table is determined to be an excellent platform and "1" is automatically stored in the "excellent platform flag". You may. Similarly, the recommended platform may be determined based on the game information of the gaming machine 10 and "1" may be automatically stored in the "recommended platform flag".

The model information is information for each type (model) of the gaming machine 10. For example, the "model name" that can uniquely identify the model includes the "model type", the "big hit probability on the specifications", and the "content type". (Tie-up, battle, Moe, Gakuen) "," Introduction date "," New platform flag "," Game platform number "," Other functions (volume control function, with movable accessories, with premium production) "etc. Can be associated and configured.
In the case of the pachinko machine 10a, the "model type" includes the "Amadeji type", which has a high probability and a small number of balls, the "Max type", which has a low probability and a large number of balls, and the ball between the Amadeji type and the Max type. A "middle type" or the like having characteristics is stored, and in the case of the slot machine 10b, an "A type", an "AT type", an "ART type", an "A + ART type", an "Oki slot" or the like is stored.
The "new machine flag" stores, for example, "1" indicating that the gaming machine 10 is a new machine within a predetermined period (for example, 2 weeks) from the introduction date, and stores "0" for other models.

The member information is information aggregated for each member of the amusement park. For example, the "member number (member ID)" that can uniquely identify the member includes the "number of stored balls", "member PIN", and "game". Items such as "history (game date, amount of money used, number of differences (number of acquired game media), etc.)", "game table search history", etc. can be associated and configured.
The "game table search history" stores a plurality of search conditions (hereinafter, also referred to as extraction conditions) set by the member on the "game table search screen" described later.

As shown in FIG. 6, the main bonus information is information in which the type of main bonus for each model is set, and is set by, for example, the manager of the amusement park.
For example, when introducing a new model to the amusement park, the administrator of the amusement park manually sets the type of main bonus (for example, BB, RB, ART) for the newly introduced model from a predetermined setting screen. It is remembered in. At this time, the manager of the game hall makes settings based on the type of the main bonus signal output from the fourth output terminal included in the game machine 10 of the model.
By setting the main bonus for each model in this way, information about the bonus on various screens (for example, "big hit count", "big hit probability") can be displayed corresponding to the main bonus (Fig.). See 10 and 17).
In addition, information on the main bonus can be set once when a new model is introduced to the game hall, and even if the game consoles are replaced or rearranged in the game hall after that, the main information is set for each game console. There is no need to make display settings related to bonuses, improving work efficiency.
The type of main bonus may be set automatically. For example, the control unit 55 may determine the type of main bonus based on the wavelength and waveform of the signal output from the fourth output terminal of the external output terminal 11 and automatically store it in the main bonus information.

As shown in FIG. 7, the time zone information is information for which "applied search conditions" are set for each of a plurality of time zones, and is set by, for example, a game hall manager or the like.
The "applied search condition" is for further narrowing down the condition with respect to the "basic search condition" set by the player on the "game table search screen" described later.
As the time zone, for example, the time zone from 10:00 to 12:00 is "morning", the time zone from 14:00 to 16:00 is "afternoon", and the time zone from 17:00 to 19:00 is "evening". , The time zone from 20:00 to 22:00 is set as "before closing", and conditions such as "a big hit when the store closes the day before" are set for the time zone of "morning one", and the time zone of "afternoon" Conditions such as "a table that has not been played after opening" are set for the game, and conditions such as "a table with a high probability of a big hit today" are set for the "evening" time zone. Conditions such as "a platform with a high jackpot probability on the specifications" are set for the time zone "before closing".
The numerical value of the time zone and the time attribute can be changed arbitrarily. In addition, the example in which the time zone is set to "from XX hours to XX hours" has been explained, but it is not limited to this, and for example, "until XX hours before closing" and "until XX hours after opening" are set. There may be.

The control unit 55 can be configured by, for example, a CPU, and by reading and executing a program stored in the storage unit 52, a command is sent to each component of the management device 50, or the control unit 55 operates and manages itself. It executes and controls various functions of the device 50.
For example, the communication unit 51 receives the game signal output from the external output terminal 11 of the game machine 10, aggregates the game information based on the game signal, and stores it in the storage unit 52.
Further, the control unit 55 performs a characteristic operation as described below.

The control unit 55 operates as an example of the extraction means in the present invention, and extracts the corresponding area in the game hall based on the search condition of the game table set by the player.
The "area" is information that can specify a position in the game hall, and is composed of, for example, one or a plurality of "game table numbers".
Specifically, the control unit 55 extracts a game console number that matches the search conditions set in the "game console search screen" described later with reference to game information, operation information, model information, and the like (extraction process). ..

Further, when the search condition includes a condition for searching for a vacant game table, the control unit 55 extracts a matching game machine number by referring to the "vacant table flag" in the state information. ..
For example, "a plurality of game consoles arranged side by side are all vacant (continuous vacant)", "any game console including one game console on both sides is vacant". If conditions such as "that (vacant tables on both sides)" and "the game table installed at the edge of the game island is vacant (vacant table at the corner of the game island)" are included, the corresponding game table number is entered. Extract all.

Further, the control unit 55 operates as an example of the time zone control means in the present invention, and when extracting the game console number matching the search condition, the extraction result is different depending on the time zone.
That is, a game table suitable for starting the game from the time zone in which the search is performed by the player is extracted.
Specifically, the game console number that matches the condition in which the "applied search condition" stored in the time zone information is added to the "basic search condition" set by the player is extracted.

For example, by adding the condition of "a table with a large number of final games when the store is closed the day before" in the first time zone in the morning, it is possible to present a game table capable of aiming at "the ceiling over the evening".
That is, in the case of a slot machine 10b equipped with a "ceiling function" in which a privilege is given by reaching a predetermined number of games without a big hit being established, the number of games is the same as the final number of games when the store was closed the day before. By adding the number of games on the day and reaching the predetermined number of games (ceiling), it is possible to aim for a big hit with a small number of games from the first morning of the next day. It is possible to present a game table that can be advantageous to the player.
In addition, by adding the conditions of "a table that is a big hit when the store closes the day before", "a table that has the benefit of the morning", and "a table that has the behavior of the morning" in the first time of the morning, the game can be played in the first time of the morning. It is possible to present a game table that can be advantageous to the person.
Specifically, if the slot machine 10b is reset (change of game setting value, reset of game setting value, clear of RAM, etc.) after closing the store the day before, a predetermined benefit (to a high probability state) after the start of the game on the next day. We will present a slot machine 10b that can obtain a transition, a transition to a precursor, a reduction in the number of games between bonuses, etc., and a slot machine 10b that can determine the setting of the game setting value by the behavior of the reel of the first rotation after the start of the game on the next day. be able to.
In addition, by adding and extracting the condition of "a table with a high probability of a big hit on the specifications" in a time zone when the closing time is near, a player can select a game table in which a big hit is likely to occur in a short time until the store closes. Can be presented to.
In this way, "applied search conditions" according to the time zone are automatically added to the search conditions, so the search results differ for each time zone, and it is useful for selecting a suitable game console for each time zone. Information can be provided to the player.

Further, since the applied search condition is added to the basic search condition set according to the player's preference, even if it is automatically added to the search condition, the search result will not be irrelevant and the player will be notified. It is possible to provide useful information.
It should be noted that the setting of whether or not to apply the applied search condition (valid / invalid) in the game console search may be set by the clerk of the game hall, or may be set by the player.
Further, among the plurality of applied search conditions provided for each time zone, which condition is applied may be set by the clerk or the player of the amusement park. When a plurality of conditions are set to be applied, it is preferable to apply all the conditions as OR conditions.

Further, the control unit 55 operates as an example of the vacant table determination means in the present invention, and determines the vacant game table among the game machines in the game hall at a predetermined opportunity.
As a method of determining an empty table, for example, when a seating sensor (detection means) is provided on the chair corresponding to each game table and the communication unit 51 receives the detection signal of the seating sensor, a predetermined time (for example, If the detection signal is not received (3 minutes or more from the previous reception), it is considered that the game console is not operating, and it is determined that the game console is vacant.
Further, when an image pickup device (detection means) capable of photographing a player of each game table is provided in various places in the game hall and the communication unit 51 receives the image pickup information of the image pickup device, the game is based on this image pickup information. A game table that does not detect a person (not photographed) may be regarded as not operating and may be determined to be an empty table.
If the out signal output from the external output terminal 11 (first output terminal) of the gaming machine 10 is not received for a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes or more from the previous reception), the gaming table is in operation. It may be considered that there is no such thing, and it may be determined that the machine is vacant.
The method for determining the vacant unit is not limited to these methods, and for example, the vacant unit may be determined based on the reception frequency of the rental signal output from the rental machine 20 or the like.

Further, the control unit 55 operates as an example of the type determination means in the present invention, and mainly determines the type of game information to be displayed according to the model of the gaming machine.
As described above, the main bonus is set in the gaming machine 10 according to the model, and the storage unit 52 stores the information regarding the main bonus (main bonus information).
Further, the main bonus signal output from the fourth output terminal of the external output terminal 11 is counted as the main bonus of the gaming machine 10, and is used as (“big hit number (main bonus)” or “big hit probability (main bonus)”. I remember (game information).
The control unit 55 identifies the main bonus of the corresponding game machine 10 by referring to the main bonus information, the game information, and the model information, and displays the information related to the main bonus on the screen.
For example, if the main bonus is specified as "BB", it is displayed on the screen as "BB number of times" or "BB probability", and if the main bonus is specified as "ART", "ART". Display on the screen as "number of times" or "ART probability".
In addition, when a plurality of information on big hits are displayed on the screen, information on the main bonus (for example, "BB number of times", "BB probability") is displayed, and information on other big hits ("RB number of times" or "RB"). Display with emphasis rather than "probability").

When any one of the items in the area R3 is selected, the "vacant table" item in the area R1 may be automatically selected.
In area R4, for example, "new stand", "today's recommended stand", "today's excellent stand", "today's high operating stand", "long-term installation stand", "long-time game stand", "volume control function""Yes","With smoke separation function", etc. can be selected.

The player can select each item of each area (R1 to R4) in any combination, select the search item according to the player's preference, and set the search condition (basic search condition). can.
Further, when a plurality of items are selected in each area (R2 to R4), the selected items can be set as the AND condition or the OR condition by selecting the AND condition or the OR condition.
In this way, when the "search button R5" at the bottom of the screen is selected with the search conditions set, the "search result screen" showing the search results according to the search conditions is displayed.

"Search result screen"
Next, a display example of the "search result screen" will be described with reference to each figure. Note that FIGS. 15 and 16 show some of the plurality of game islands provided in the game field.
Similar to the "game table search screen" (see FIG. 12), the "search result screen" displays a map of the game field and recognizablely displays all the game tables extracted by the search on this map.
In the "game table search screen", for example, when "all machines" is selected in the area R1 and "the total number of games is 2000 times or more" is selected in the area R2, the search is executed. As shown in (a), the extracted game consoles are recognizable on the map. Specifically, the "game machine character" is displayed at a position corresponding to each of the extracted game machines.

Here, the gaming machine character displayed on the LCD module 67 will be described.
The gaming machine character has a form in which each of the gaming machines 10 installed in the game hall is anthropomorphized (for example, a form including a face, a body, and legs).
Further, the gaming machine character is configured so that the state of the gaming machine 10 can be identified from the appearance according to the form, facial expression, and movement of the gaming machine character.
For example, in the case of a form with a "beginner mark" as the form of the gaming machine character, it can be identified as a new gaming machine or a gaming machine for beginners (for example, a sweet digital type gaming machine). It is set to.
Further, as facial expressions of the gaming machine character, for example, FIG. 14A shows a facial expression showing a vacant gaming machine, and FIG. 14B shows a facial expression showing a gaming machine in a situation where the player is disadvantaged in terms of the game balance. 14 (c) is a facial expression showing a gaming machine in operation, and FIG. 14 (d) is a facial expression showing a gaming machine in a situation where the player is extremely disadvantaged in terms of the game balance. It is also possible to express the situation of the game table by the difference of.

It is also possible to change the operation of the gaming machine character.
For example, as shown in FIG. 15A, a jumping motion, a swaying motion of musical notes, and a disadvantageous situation of a player in the gaming balance as an animation motion indicating a gaming machine in which the player is dominant in the gaming balance. It is also possible to make the player perform a sweat-dissipating motion as an animation motion indicating the gaming machine, and a star-turning motion as an animation motion indicating a gaming machine in which the player is in an extremely disadvantageous situation in terms of the game balance.

The CPU 61 can automatically determine the form of such a game machine character according to the game machine number, the model name, the introduction time, and the like, but instead of or in addition to this, the game hall It is also possible to manually set the management device 50 and the game hall display device 60 by the manager or the like.
In addition, the game information for determining a disadvantageous situation for the player in the game balance can be determined by whether or not the difference number is equal to or more than the reference value, and the number of jackpots is not limited to the reference value, for example. At this time, it can be determined when the number of consecutive villas is less than the reference value, when the number of big hit games is more than the reference value, and so on.
Further, as such a situation progresses (deteriorates), it is preferable to increase the amount of movement of the gaming machine character and increase the movement speed. Further, even when the player is in a predominant game situation in terms of the game balance, as the game information gradually increases from the reference value, the amount of movement can be increased and the movement speed can be increased.
Further, the shape, facial expression, and movement of the character are not limited to the above, and for example, by providing an appearance with a beard or a crown, it may be possible to identify whether the character is a long-term installation table or a long-time game table. ..
Also, for example, different types of machines (for example, pachinko machines and slot machines), different lending rates, different jackpot probabilities (Amadeji type, MAX type), different character forms according to different introduction times, etc. You may change it.

For example, in the case of FIG. 15A, the game console with the game console number "101" shows a disadvantageous situation for the player in terms of the game balance, and the game console with the game console number "105" is in the game balance. The player shows the predominant game situation, and the game table with the game table number "117" shows that the player is in an extremely disadvantageous situation in terms of the game balance, and the game table with the game table number "113". Indicates the state of the vacant table, and the game tables of the game table numbers "112" and "114" indicate the operating state.
Further, if the gaming table is winning a prize, the color of the gaming machine character corresponding to the gaming table can be changed and displayed. At this time, the lighting method, color, and the like may be changed and displayed depending on the type of winning combination.

Next, the search results when the search conditions for vacant units are set on the "game table search screen" will be described.
For example, in the "game table search screen"
Area R1 is "vacant", area R3 is "new" or "today's excellent"
When is selected and the search is executed, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), the game consoles with the game console numbers "213" and "215" indicate that the new consoles are vacant. The game console with the game console number "207" indicates that the excellent platform is vacant.

In addition, on the "game table search screen", for example,
Area R1 is "vacant", area R3 is "multiple units are vacant in a row"
When is selected and the search is executed, as shown in FIG. 16A, the game consoles with the game console numbers "304" to "307" and the games with the game console numbers "312" to "313" are executed. Indicates that the pedestal is vacant and these are continuously vacant

In addition, on the "game table search screen", for example,
Area R1 is "vacant", area R3 is "empty on both sides"
When is selected and the search is executed, as shown in FIG. 16B, the game consoles of the game console numbers "413" to "415" are empty, and the game console number "414" is used. It indicates that all the game consoles including the game console numbers "413" and "415", which are the game consoles on both sides of the game console, are vacant.

In addition, on the "game table search screen", for example,
Area R1 is "vacant", area R3 is "game island corner"
Is selected and the search is executed, as shown in FIG. 16 (c), it indicates that the square game table of the game table number “501” is empty.

In addition, on the "game table search screen", for example,
Area R1 is "vacant", area R3 is "multiple units are vacant in a row" and "game island corner is vacant"
When is selected and the search is executed, as shown in FIG. 16D, the game consoles of the game console numbers "601" to "604" are empty, and the game console number "601" is used. It shows that it is a continuous vacant table including the game table of the square table.

In addition, on the "game table search screen", for example,
Area R1 is "vacant", area R3 is "empty on both sides" and "the corner of the game island is empty"
When is selected and the search is executed, as shown in FIG. 16 (e), the game consoles of the game console numbers "701" and "702" are empty, and the game console number "701" is used. It indicates that any game table including the game table number "702", which is the game table next to the game table of the square table, is vacant.
In addition, in the case of such a search condition (the game tables on both sides are vacant from the game table of the corner stand), only the game tables that are seated in the center side of the game island are targeted.

According to such a display, the player can grasp the position of the vacant table in the game hall at a glance.
In particular, you can easily find areas where multiple cars are vacant in a row or areas where both sides are vacant. When you want to play a game side by side, you can provide information about vacant stands according to the actual situation of the player.
Furthermore, the situation of each vacant platform can be intuitively recognized from the facial expressions and movements of the gaming machine character.

Further, the items that can be selected in the area R3 are not limited to the above-mentioned items, and for example, the items shown in FIG. 18 can also be provided. In this case, the following vacant units can be searched.

(1) Search for vacant units according to the position of smokers in the amusement park By estimating the smokers in the amusement park, it is possible to search for vacant units according to the position of smokers.
For example, if the ashtray lid provided in the game island facility is provided with an open / close sensor to output a signal indicating opening when the open / close lid is open, the control unit 55 may smoke in the playground. The position of the smoker can be inferred, and the position of the smoker is stored in association with the game console number.
The method of identifying the presence or absence of a smoker is not limited to this, and a smoke sensor provided near the game table detects smoke, and a smoke separation device for blocking the drift of cigarette smoke between adjacent game tables ( The presence or absence of smokers may be determined based on the operating status of the air curtain, smoke separation board). In addition, the smoker may be identified by a visual recording operation (remote control operation) by a clerk at the amusement park.
With such a configuration, it is possible to search for a vacant table where "smokers do not exist in the vicinity".
In addition, the amount of ash collected for each game island may be detected to determine whether or not the island has a large number of smokers. This makes it possible to search for vacant stands on "Game Island with few smokers".
As a result, it is possible to provide useful information to a player who wants to avoid playing around the smoker.

(2) Search for vacant units according to the position of various equipment in the game hall By managing the positional relationship between various equipment in the game hall and the game table, it is possible to search for vacant units according to the positional relationship.
For example, in the case of a playground consisting of smoking islands and non-smoking islands on one floor, smoking-free islands far from smoking islands or non-smoking islands near smoking islands may be smoke-free depending on the location of smoking islands and non-smoking islands in the playground. The island can be identified.
This makes it possible to search for vacant units on non-smoking islands that are "far from smoking islands".
In addition, since it is possible to identify a game table "far or near the doorway", a game table "far or near the toilet", and a game table "far or near the air conditioner outlet", search for a vacant table according to these conditions. be able to.
As a result, the player who prefers or avoids the vicinity of the doorway where the air is easily replaced, or the player who prefers the vicinity of the toilet or the player who avoids the vicinity of the toilet, or the player who prefers the direct hit of the air conditioner. It is possible to provide useful information to the player who avoids the direct hit of the blast.

(3) Search for vacant units according to the type and installation location of various devices installed on the game island By managing the type and installation location of the production devices and display devices installed on the game island, the type and location can be adjusted. You can search for vacant units.
For example, by specifying the positional relationship between the effect lamps and the effect speakers provided in the game island with the game table, it is possible to search for the game table "far or near from the effect device of the game island".
In addition, it is possible to search for a game table of "Game Island where many production devices are not installed on Game Island" and a game table corresponding to "Call lamp of a high-end model".
As a result, players avoid annoying positions such as being too dazzling due to the proximity of the production lamps and being too loud due to the proximity of the production speakers, and conversely, being flashy due to the production device being nearby. It is possible to provide useful information to a player who prefers a lively production. It is also possible to perform a search by designating a player's favorite call lamp.

(4) Search for vacant machines in units of game islands It is possible to search for vacant machines based on the game information of the game machines 10 in the group, with a plurality of game machines 10 arranged in the game island as one group.
For example, by identifying the number of game consoles in which the player has an advantage or disadvantage in the game balance on the game island, "a game in which the difference in the game balance is significantly positive" It is possible to identify "a game island without a platform" or "a game island with many game platforms with a large difference in the game balance".
This makes it possible to search for vacant units in the game island that meet specific conditions.
In the above example, on a game island where there is no game table with a significantly positive game balance, a player who speculates that there will be no game table on this game island that could be advantageous to the player, and vice versa, this game. It is possible to provide useful information to each player who speculates that there should be a game table on the island that may be advantageous to the player.
In addition, on a game island where there are many game machines with a large positive game balance, players who speculate that there may be other game machines on this game island that may be advantageous to the player, and vice versa, this game. It can provide useful information to players who speculate that there will no longer be a game table on the island that could be in their favor.

[Modification example]
Next, a modification of the gaming device of the present invention will be described.
In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the game device is composed of the management device 50 and the game field display device 60 has been described, but the game device of the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, for example, the game field. The present invention can also be applied by providing a device such as a call lamp 70 or a rental machine 20 with the function of the playground display device 60 instead of the display device 60.
In this case, the display unit provided on the call lamp 70 or the rental machine 20 can be operated as a display means for displaying the “search result screen” or the like.
In addition to this, the search result may be displayed on a display device provided near the prize exchange counter in the amusement park or a mobile terminal owned by the player. In the case of a mobile terminal, the "search result screen" or the like can be browsed from the mobile terminal by acquiring an application program (application) that operates on the mobile terminal via a dedicated server.
That is, the notification means (display means) according to the present invention may be any one that performs display processing for displaying search results, and if it is a large display such as the LCD module 67, the displayed information is displayed in a large and easy-to-read manner. It is preferable because it is done.

Further, the present invention can also be applied by providing the function of the management device 50 in the platform computer 30, the island computer 40, and other devices in the amusement park instead of the management device 50. In this case, the same operation as that of the management device 50 can be realized by equipping the device with all or a part of various means (extraction means, time zone control means, vacant table determination means, etc.) included in the management device 50. can.

The present invention can also be carried out by causing the game hall display device 60 to perform all or part of the functions of the various means included in the management device 50. Alternatively, the management device 50 may be made to perform all or a part of the functions of various means (setting means, display means) included in the game hall display device 60. In this case, the same information as that of the LCD module 67 can be displayed on the display unit 53 of the management device 50, and the clerk can check the search result on the “search result screen”.

As described above, the gaming device and the program of the present embodiment have a function of searching for a vacant table of a game table in the game hall, and search for a vacant table in consideration of the vacancy status of the adjacent table. The position of the game table to be played can be displayed on the map of the game field.
In particular, it is possible to display an area where a plurality of units are vacant in a row, an area where both sides are vacant, and an area where a corner unit is vacant on the map.
As a result, for example, when a player wants to play a game while avoiding the congestion of the surroundings, when he / she wants to play a game side by side with a friend, or when he / she wants to play a game on a corner stand, there is such a vacant stand. You can search for whether or not, and you can easily find the game console.

In addition, by adding search conditions (advanced search conditions) corresponding to the time zone to the search conditions (basic search conditions) set by the player, a search is performed for each time zone in which the player searches. The results can be different.
As a result, it is possible to present a candidate for a game table suitable for starting the game according to the time zone in which the player searches, and it is possible to provide useful information to the player.

On the other hand, the conventional game hall display device has a function for a player to search a game table by combining a plurality of conditions and setting search conditions.
However, in the selection of the game table, the player may select the game table in consideration of the degree of congestion in the surroundings, or may select the game table based on whether or not it is possible to play side by side with a friend. It was not possible to search the game console according to the actual situation. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult for the player to find the desired vacant platform.
Also, when extracting game consoles that match the search conditions, for example, game consoles that should not be selected when the closing time is near (for example, game consoles with a low jackpot probability on the specifications) are extracted. Because of this, we were not able to present a game table candidate that would truly please the player.
According to the game device and the program of the present embodiment, it is possible to solve all or part of such problems that the conventional game field display device should improve.

Although the gaming device and program of the present invention have been described by showing preferred embodiments, the gaming device and program according to the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and are not limited to the above-described embodiments. Needless to say, various changes can be implemented.

For example, in the present embodiment, any number of people can browse from the amusement park display device 60 without limiting the number of viewers, but it is also possible to provide a "member-only search function" that can be used only by members of the amusement park. In this case, the following functions may be available by inserting the membership card into the card insertion portion of the playground display device 60 and performing a search when it is confirmed that the member is a member.
For example, an item that can be selected only by the member may be provided on the "game table search screen (area R2)" based on the information stored in the "game history" of the member information. For example, the member may be able to select "a model that won in the past or a model that lost in the past".
Further, the past search conditions and various search settings may be inherited and displayed on the "game console search screen" based on the information stored in the "search history" of the member information.
In addition, based on the information stored in the "game history" of the member information, the condition of the member's income and expenditure status (investment amount, difference) is added as "applied search condition", and different search results are derived for each member. You may. For example, by presenting a game table with a low lending rate or an Amadeji type game table to members who tend to lose their income and expenditure status, effective information will be provided according to the income and expenditure status of the player. You may.

Further, the LCD module 67 may display the ranking of the performance data for each gaming machine 10 or for each model.
For example, by providing a "ranking" on the selection operation panel P and selecting this "ranking", it is possible to display a model or a game console number having a higher number of big hits. In this case, the number of big hits to be compared is preferably compared and displayed by the "number of big hits (main bonus)" set in the main bonus.
