Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2008-20432

For example, when the store manager hides in the owner and colludes with an acquaintance and leaks such excellent platform information to the acquaintance to play the game, the acquired value that should be returned to general players is the excellent platform information. Injustices such as being illegally obtained by the acquired player are rampant. Therefore, Patent Document 1 proposes to detect fraud when the operating rate of the mode corresponding to the excellent platform is high by comparing the installation rate and the operating rate of each mode.

On the other hand, in addition to such fraud, for example, for a gaming machine in which the store manager operates and inputs that the management device is not a good platform, the actual adjustment condition of the gaming machine is set to a good platform, and the gaming machine is taught to acquaintances for gaming. Injustices such as making pachinko machines are rampant, and it is hoped that some measures will be taken against these injustices.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to appropriately take measures against fraud in which adjustments are made to make a gaming machine a good platform even though it is set that the game machine is not a good platform in terms of management. The purpose is to provide a possible playground system.

According to the invention of claim 1, while the game information such as the payout rate and the balance indicates a good platform, the management device specifies a gaming machine set as a non-excellent platform, so that it is not a good platform in terms of management. Despite the fact that is set, it is possible to appropriately deal with fraud that is adjusted to be a good platform for the gaming machine.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration of a playground system. A plurality of gaming machine islands (not shown) are provided in the game hall, and a large number of gaming machines 1 and a large number of gaming devices 2 and information display devices 3 corresponding thereto are installed on each gaming machine island. Has been done. One gaming device 2 is arranged on the left side of one gaming machine 1, and one information display device 3 is arranged above the gaming machine 1. The gaming machine 1, the gaming device 2, and the information display device 3 are connected to the relay device 4. The relay device 4 is connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5.

The management device 6 is installed in, for example, an office in the game hall, and is connected to a keyboard 7, a monitor 8 (output means) operated by the manager of the game hall, a printer (not shown), and the like. The management device 6 manages game information for each game machine 1 or is registered as a member by receiving a game signal transmitted from the game machine side (game machine 1, game device 2, information display device 3, etc.). It manages various information such as personal data for each member, and manages the player's face image data as described later. Although not shown in FIG. 1, in reality, for example, several hundred gaming machines 1 are managed by the management device 6.

The gaming machine 1 is a CR (card reader) pachinko gaming machine, and has an operation handle 10, an upper tray 11, and a lower tray 12 that constitute a launching device that launches a ball on the board 9, and a liquid crystal display unit on the board 9. It has 13, a general drawing winning opening 14, a first starting opening 15, a second starting opening 16, a large winning opening 17, and the like.

The gaming machine 1 operates as shown below.
(1) The first starting port 15 is a winning opening (so-called navel winning opening) in which the winning rate does not fluctuate, and the second starting opening 16 is a winning opening (so-called electric chew) in which the winning rate fluctuates. A big hit lottery is performed according to a prize (starting prize) to each of the starting ports 15 and 16, and the lottery result is notified by a symbol change performed by the liquid crystal display unit 13, and a big hit is obtained according to the change result.

(2) If a start prize is won during a symbol change, the symbol change is cumulatively suspended up to a predetermined holding upper limit (for example, 4 each), and the held symbol change is started after the symbol change is completed. If the start prize is won while the number of pending symbol fluctuations (number of pending symbols) is the upper limit, the symbol fluctuations are not suspended.

(3) Game machine setting values (excellent platform information, adjustment information) (hereinafter referred to as modes) are provided in 6 stages, and by this mode, the winning probability (big hit probability) of the big hit lottery according to the spec value for each mode is big hit after the big hit. However, the output rate can be adjusted for the normal gaming state (normal state), which is not a probabilistic state (probability change), and the probability change state. It is also possible to adjust the value related to the number of times the big hit is continued, such as the probability variation rate, which is the ratio of the big hit to the big hit (probability change big hit) after that.

Due to the difference in the jackpot probability in the normal state, the number of continuations may also differ slightly depending on the mode due to the jackpot that occurs in the time-saving state. Similarly, the jackpot probability between the normal state and the probabilistic state may be unchanged depending on the mode, and if at least one of the jackpot probability and the number of continuations between the normal state and the probabilistic state and the round distribution rate described later can be adjusted by the mode. good.

(4) When a big hit occurs, the big winning opening is opened for the corresponding round (R). The maximum number of winnings in 1R is 10, the maximum opening period is 30 seconds, and 1R ends when either the maximum number of winnings or the maximum opening period is satisfied. The corresponding round is also drawn in the same way as the big hit lottery, and the distribution rate is 10% for 2R, 51% for 4R and 39% for 15R when the first start opening 15 is won, but the second start opening 16 In the case of, 4R is 10% and 15R is 90%, and the priority of pending digestion of the symbol change according to the winning is set higher in the second starting port 16 than in the first starting port 15.

(5) During the probability change, the jackpot probability is improved and the winning rate of the second starting port 16 is increased, resulting in a time saving state (time saving). Since the probability change continues until the next big hit, it continues until a big hit (normal big hit) that becomes a normal state occurs, and then the time is shortened until a predetermined number of time reductions (for example, 100 times) of symbol fluctuations are performed.

(6) The second starting opening 16 is in an open state with a high winning rate when a normal symbol (general figure) that fluctuates according to the winning of the general drawing winning opening 14 is hit. In this case, the fluctuation period of one normal figure is 30 seconds in the normal state and 3 seconds in the time saving state. Further, the opening period is 0.3 seconds in the normal state and 5 seconds in the time saving state. That is, in the short time state, the fluctuation period of the normal map is shorter than that in the normal state, while the opening period is longer, so that the winning rate of the second starting port 16 is higher. The above description has been made using the model A as an example, but the illustrated values are various values depending on the model, for example, in the case of the model B, the round distribution is different.

The gaming machine 1 and the peripheral devices attached to the gaming machine 1 output the following gaming signals as the game progresses, such as the player driving a ball and starting a prize at each of the starting ports 15 and 16. ..
-Out signal = A signal (operating 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, "the number of out signals x 10" is specified as out. It may be a signal output from the gaming machine side.

-Safe signal = A signal output from the gaming machine that can identify the prize-giving value (safe). Since one pulse is output for every 10 payouts according to the winning, "safe signal number x 10" is specified as safe. The replenishment signal output from the replenishment device may be used as a safe signal. In addition, there are an actual safe signal that is output when the ball is actually paid out and a winning safe signal that is output when the payout is reserved according to the winning, but in order to minimize the time lag from winning to output. It is desirable to adopt the latter.

-Start signal = Start processing (design variation, bonus operation, unit game) and start (start) in the liquid crystal display unit 13 (feature) that fluctuates (operates) due to the start prize (S prize) output from the gaming machine side. A signal that can specify the number of processes). Since it is output when the symbol fluctuation is confirmed, the start process is specified according to the signal input.

-S winning signal = A signal output from the gaming machine side that can identify the S winning signal. Since it is output at the time of starting prize, the starting winning is specified according to the signal input. It is also possible to manage only one of the start and the S prize, for example.

-Big hit signal = A signal that can specify the big hit period output from the gaming machine side. Since the level is output during the jackpot, the jackpot signal input is specified as the jackpot.
-Special state signal = A signal that can identify the special state (sweet) output from the gaming machine side. Since the level is output during the special state (time reduction (including the probability change)) in which the winning rate of the second starting port 16 is improved, the special state signal input is specified as the special state. It may be a state signal (probability variation signal) whose level is output during the probability variation in which the jackpot probability is improved. In addition, the period during which neither the jackpot signal nor the special state signal is input is specified as the normal state.

The gaming device 2 is a so-called lending machine with a counting function for each machine, and is a status display unit 18 indicating the status of the gaming device 2 or the gaming machine 1, and a bill insertion slot into which money (money value, valuable value) is inserted. 19. Camera 20 (imaging means) including an image pickup element such as a well-known CMOS sensor or CCD sensor (only the front camera window is shown in FIG. 1), accepts operation input from the player, and changes the symbol as the game progresses. Touch panel type LCD display unit 21 that displays game information such as the number of times (number of starts) and jackpot probability, payout button 22 for paying out balls (including stored balls if you are a member, acquisition value, valuable value), payment It is located below the payout nozzle 23 through which the ejected balls pass, the card insertion slot 26 into which the general card 24 and the membership card 25 (player identification medium) (see FIG. 2) are inserted, and the lower tray 12 of the gaming machine 1. It has a removable counting tray 27 and the like.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram focusing on the configuration of the gaming device 2. The control unit 28 of the gaming device 2 is mainly composed of a microcomputer having a CPU 28a, a ROM 28b, a RAM 28c, an I / O 28d, and the like. Peripheral units connected to the control unit 28 include the above-mentioned status display unit 18, liquid crystal display unit 21, and payout button 22, and also transmit and receive various signals and various information to and from the management device 6 and the game machine 1. The I / F unit 29, the bill processing unit 30 for determining the authenticity of the bill inserted in the bill insertion slot 19, the touch panel 31 provided on the liquid crystal display unit 21, and the cards 24 and 25 inserted in the card insertion slot 26. When the card RW (reader / writer) 32 for reading and writing various stored information, the card stock unit 33 capable of stocking up to 10 general cards 24, and the payout button 22 are operated, the number of times is one. It includes a payout unit 34 that pays out the minutes of bills from the payout nozzle 23, a counting unit 35 that counts the number of balls flowing in from the counting tray 27, and the like.

The general card 24 is a card that is valid only on the day of the event, and has a built-in IC chip 24a. The IC chip 24a stores a general ID that can identify the card, and also stores the deposit balance and the number of balls held in the game device 2. The number of balls held by this general card 24 is valid only on that day, and the deposit balance can be used from the next day onward.

The membership card 25 is a card that is valid until a preset expiration date (for example, 3 years), and has a built-in IC chip 25a. The IC chip 25a stores a member ID (identification information) that can identify the player who has registered as a member, and also stores the deposit balance. The number of balls held and the number of stored balls corresponding to the membership card 25 are stored in the member account of the management device 6. The number of balls held, the number of stored balls, and the balance of deposits of the membership card 25 can be used from the next day onward.

As shown in FIG. 1, four cameras 20 are connected to the image processing device 36. The camera 20 functions as an image pickup means capable of capturing an image of a player playing a game on the corresponding gaming machine 1, captures images at predetermined intervals (for example, every 4 seconds), and processes the captured images. It is transmitted to the device 36. The imaging range of the camera 20 is set so as to be an area including at least the entire face of the player in a state where the player faces the game machine 1.

The image processing device 36 is connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5, captures each image transmitted from the four cameras 20 at 1-second intervals, and analyzes the captured image to obtain the image. It is determined whether or not the player's face image (player image) is present in the image, and if it is determined that the face image is present, the face image is transmitted to the management device 6. Even if the image transmitted from the camera 20 includes a player, the image processing device 36 has a face because the player is playing in an unnatural posture that does not face the game machine 1. When the image cannot be recognized, the image is not transmitted to the management device 6.

The gaming device 2 has the following functions.
(1) When money is accepted (money acceptance processing), the deposit amount is displayed on both the game machine 1 and the game device 2, and the loan ball (value added) for one loan unit (for example, 500 yen) is displayed on the game machine. It is made to be paid out from 1 (compensation grant processing), and the deposit amount is displayed according to the consideration granting process as the balance excluding the consideration of the loaned ball. Money can be accepted for multiple payments (for example, up to 10,000 yen).

(2) When the lending button 37 provided on the gaming machine 1 is pressed (lending operation, granting operation) while there is a balance, the lending balls for one unit of lending are paid out from the gaming machine 1 and the consideration is paid. Is deducted from the balance. In addition, it is also equipped with a so-called counting function for each machine, and it is possible to count the acquired balls acquired by the player and refund the balls again with the counted acquired balls as consideration, excluding the consideration for the refund. It is also possible to specify the number as a ball.

(3) When the return button 38 provided on the gaming machine 1 is pressed (issue operation) with the balance and the balls remaining, a general card capable of specifying the balance and the balls is issued. Split issuance that targets a part of the balance or possession is not possible for the sake of simplification of explanation, but it may be possible.

(4) Money acceptance processing and consideration grant processing by serial communication with the relay device 4 (reception of sales signal), balance and number of loaned balls, deposit amount and number of loaned balls, sales amount as consideration for loaned balls, counting ball, It is possible to specify the acceptance and issuance processing of possessed balls, refund balls, and general cards, but these can also be specified by pulse signals (for example, 1 pulse for every 1000 yen deposited, 1 pulse for every 100 yen sold, etc.).
The management device 6 aggregates the game information of each game machine 1 on the day based on the game signal output from the game machine side.

The management device 6 is a control unit 39 (game information management means, game information determination means, adjustment information management means, adjustment information determination means, output means, storage means, extraction means, selection means, management means, representative image identification means, determination means. , Storage means, release means, counting means) and storage unit 40 (storage means), and the control unit 39 is mainly composed of a microcomputer having a CPU 39a, a ROM 39b, a RAM 39c, an I / O 39d, or the like. .. The management device 6 stores the face image of the player who has played for one hour or more among the face images received from the image processing device 36 in the storage unit 40 as a face image database up to the latest one month. This is because when the game time to be searched becomes short or the storage period becomes long, the number of images becomes enormous, and the memory capacity and processing to be stored become enormous.

The management device 6 determines the same person based on the face image as described later. In this same person determination, image processing such as extraction of feature points is performed on the accumulated face images, and the face images already registered in the face image database are collated to determine whether or not they are the same person. judge. If it is determined that the collated face image is a face image that is not registered in the face image database (that is, a new player), a face ID is assigned and registered in the face image database, and the face ID is used as game data. And store it in association with.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the face image is a face image already registered in the face image database (that is, a known player), the game data associated with the face ID is updated. In the determination of a person requiring attention (or a designated person), which will be described later, the face image is compared with the face image registered in the database requiring attention (or the designated person database), and the face image of the same person is registered in the database requiring attention. Determine if it has been done. If it is determined that the face image of the same person is registered in the database of the person requiring attention (or designated person), the employee of the amusement park will be notified by, for example, an income device (not shown) that the person requiring attention (or designated person) has visited the store. Notify the members.

By the way, the management device 6 has various countermeasure functions for dealing with fraud against the gaming machine 1 in addition to the above-mentioned functions.
1. 1. Setting leakage countermeasure function There is a fraud called setting value leakage, in which a store manager class manager leaks a high setting table to an acquaintance to play a game and shares profits with the acquaintance.

In order to detect this kind of fraud, it is considered that the player should be image-authenticated to determine whether the same player is repeatedly playing the high setting table, but such a determination requires multiple business days. It is meaningless if it is not done across, and if the target period is extended in this way, the number of player images to be compared will become enormous, and the image authentication accuracy on the system will inevitably drop, and the system will have to drop. Since there is a limit in determining the same player, the management device 6 has a setting leakage countermeasure function.

This function is a function to set the aggregation target and the target period such as the mode of the gaming machine and the minus gross profit amount (both are excellent table information), and search by the setting condition. Players who are determined to be the same person by image recognition are sorted, and the number of days that meet the conditions of that person and the number of days that they visit the store are displayed, so it is possible to find a person who is repeating a suspicious game.

When this function is used, a menu screen is displayed on the monitor 8 of the management device 6. FIG. 3 shows a menu screen. On this menu screen, a "visitor search" button 41, a "tracker confirmation" button 42, and a "maintenance" button 43 are displayed. When the "visitor search" button 41 is clicked, as shown in FIG. 4, the "tracker confirmation" button 42 and the "maintenance" button 43 are inactivated, and at the same time, the "visitor search" button 41 is associated with the "visitor search" button 41. Since the "game status search" button 44 and the "membership card usage search" button 45 are displayed, the "game status search" button 44 is clicked.

The management device 6 displays the game status search screen when the "game status search" button 44 is clicked.
FIG. 6 shows a game status search screen. At the top of the game status search screen, there are a "type" selection unit 46 for setting search conditions, a "store visit days" selection unit 47, a "game time" selection unit 48, a "date" selection unit 49, and a "selling type". When the selection unit 50 and the "model" selection unit 51 are displayed, and the "tracker only" effective unit 52, the "wearing mask, etc." effective unit 53, the "morning one" effective unit 54, and the "morning one" are enabled. The time selection unit 55 is displayed, and the “search” button 56 is further displayed.

When the setting leakage countermeasure function is used, it is possible to total the game status by mode and the game status by table gross profit according to the setting for the "type" selection unit 46.
(1) Game status by mode When using the game status by mode for which the mode is to be aggregated, select "game status by mode" as the "type" as shown in FIG. Then, the mode selection unit 57 is displayed, and it is enabled by clicking the mode to be aggregated. In the example shown in FIG. 6, modes 5 and 6 are effectively set, indicating that the high-mode gaming machine is to be counted. When all the search conditions have been set, click the "Search" button 56.

When the "search" button 56 is clicked, the management device 6 displays a list screen aggregated based on the set search conditions. On the list screen, the search conditions are sorted by player in descending order of the number of applicable days or the ratio of the relevant days during the visit to the store. Display related information such as time on the search list screen.

FIG. 7 shows a search list screen. At the left end of the search list screen, a "details" button 58, an information field 59, and a face image list 60 for each business day are displayed corresponding to each player. In the information column 59, the player ID numbered for each player, the number of days for satisfying the conditions and the number of days for visiting the store, which is the mode in which the played gaming machine is set, are displayed. In the face image list 60, among the people who match the search conditions, the face images of the same person are displayed side by side.

In the face image list 60, the leftmost is the latest condition matching date, and then the right is the previous time, the last time, and so on. However, the condition matching date may be displayed in order from the leftmost to the oldest. The date, serial number, game time, and mode are displayed corresponding to the face image. As the face image, a face image having a high recognition score of the player's face from the face image on the same business day, a face image at the earliest time when the player is authenticated, and the like are specified as representative images.

In FIG. 7, from the top of the face image list 60, the players who have played the game on the excellent table in descending order are displayed. Is also good. The excellent table is a high mode, and in this embodiment, it is assumed that the mode is 5 (reference value) or more as the excellent table, but the mode 5 or more is not separately set as the mode corresponding to the excellent table. However, it is not limited to this.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, since the high mode is set as the aggregation target, it can be said that the closer the number of days matching the conditions and the number of days visiting the store are, the more suspicious the fraud is as a game tendency.
If fraud is suspected as a result of checking the face image and the corresponding information, click the corresponding "details" button 58.

When the "details" button 58 is clicked, the management device 6 displays an individual detail screen. On the individual detail screen, as shown in FIG. 8, the face image of the clicked person is displayed in association with the business day on the calendar 61 (calendar format business day output information for outputting the representative image to a plurality of business days). do. The face image identified and displayed by being surrounded by a thick frame (actually a red thick frame) in the figure includes games that match the search conditions set on the search list screen on business days that correspond to the search conditions. The mode that matches the search condition is displayed following the date. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the business day in which the player plays a game on a good platform of mode 5 or higher corresponds to.

If you want to check the player's table movement history in one business day, click the date of the corresponding calendar 61.
When the date of the calendar 61 is clicked, the management device 6 displays the detailed data field 62. In the detailed data column 62, the face image (representative image of each gaming machine), the platform number, the gaming time, and the balance amount are arranged side by side according to the player's table movement history in the business day unit of the date selected by clicking. It is displayed, and below that, the model and the game time are displayed correspondingly.

Clicking on a gaming machine unit in the machine movement history displays the gaming data field 63 for the gaming machine unit. In this game data column 63, out, safe, special prize 1 time, special prize 2 times, special prize 1 hour, special prize 2 hours, deposit amount, and mode are displayed.

A model mode column 64 is provided adjacent to the game data column 63, and the mode setting distribution (allocation information) of the model played by the player is displayed in the model mode column 64.
In the example shown in FIG. 8, there are 10 units of the same model, of which 4 units are in mode 3, 3 units are in mode 4, 3 units are in mode 5, and 0 units are in other modes. In this case, it can be determined that it is suspicious because the mode 5 is played while the setting ratio of the mode 5 is low.

In the model mode column 64, a click in the table movement history, that is, displaying the distribution information of the model to which the gaming machine belongs when the gaming machine is selected is illustrated, but when the gaming machine is not selected, it is illustrated. Display distribution information for all gaming machines played by the target player in the model to which the gaming machine belongs, and if a business day is specified, for example, a representative image of a business day is clicked, on that business day. Distribution information may be displayed for all the game machines that have been played.

(2) Gaming status by platform gross profit Since the information is not output from the gaming machine 1 as to which mode is set for the gaming machine, the mode is managed by inputting the operation with the management device 6. The administrator who inputs the operation inputs the low mode to the management device 6, while the game machine 1 sets the high mode and leaks the game machine to an acquaintance, so that the adjustment of the game machine 1 is as planned. However, while explaining to the owner that it did not go according to plan because the game result was good by chance in the low mode, fraud such as sharing profits with acquaintances who colluded is rampant. In addition, since it is possible to assume a set striking method (increasing the output rate only in the case of a specific game due to an illegal ROM), it is possible to search for a platform gross profit by the balance of each gaming machine by inputting the platform gross profit to be searched. There is.

This platform gross profit search is a negative platform gross profit (gross profit of a game hall and gross profit of each machine. For example, the value obtained by subtracting the prize exchange amount for the difference (out-safe) from the sales amount is the value. It is intended for gaming machines and players who are (corresponding), and it is possible to input a negative gross profit amount as a threshold value. As shown in FIG. 9, when "game status by pachinko machine gross profit" is set as the type, the pachinko machine gross profit selection unit 57'is displayed. Therefore, by selecting the negative gross profit amount as a search condition, the corresponding gaming machine It is possible to count the players and gaming machines that have played in. When a gaming machine is targeted for search, a gaming machine with a negative gross profit amount, which is a search condition, is targeted for extraction, and the machine number of the extracted gaming machine is displayed.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that the negative gross profit amount is 10,000 yen or less (reference value) or less, but the negative gross profit amount corresponding to the excellent level is not separately set to 10,000 yen or less. .. Similarly, the low setting is assumed to be mode 2 or less in this embodiment, but is not separately set to mode 2 or less as a mode corresponding to the low setting. However, it is not limited to them.

In addition, although the game information indicating the excellent platform or the platform gross profit is exemplified as the excellent platform information, for example, the correction platform gross margin which is the platform gross profit including the replay portion and the platform considering the exchange rate of the replay portion. Not only gross profit index and gross profit information such as gross profit for each player, but also any game information such as the number of big hits, difference balls, theoretical possession balls (sales balls-difference balls), etc. If it is possible to show, it can be adopted.

When the platform gross profit search is set, the management device 6 searches for a face image of a player who plays a gaming machine (specific gaming machine) with a low setting and a high balance, and displays the same list screen as in FIG. 7. do. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the details of the player suspected of being fraudulent, as in the above-mentioned mode-specific gaming situation.

On the other hand, when the morning one effective unit 54 is enabled, it is possible to extract the players who have played for one hour or more, which is the accumulation target, from the players who have played by the time specified by the time selection unit 55. In this case, a player who has played with a gaming machine that meets the conditions input by the mode selection unit 57 or the platform gross profit selection unit 57'(a player who has played with a specific gaming machine since the start of business) can be extracted. ..
It is desirable that the gaming machine that the player first played on the corresponding business day is the extraction target, but if the above conditions are satisfied, the second and subsequent gaming machines that have been played may be the extraction target.

2. 2. Mask and other wear detection function This function detects a player wearing a mask, sunglasses, or other wear on his face. This is because fraudsters often wear masks and sunglasses, so the search is made based on the conditions for wearing masks, etc., in addition to the above-mentioned game status by mode or game status by table gross profit.

For example, on the search list screen shown in FIG. 7, when the “wearing mask or the like” effective unit 53 is enabled by checking, the management device 6 adds the presence or absence of wearing a mask, sunglasses, or the like to the search condition, and is shown in FIG. A list screen (not shown) of players wearing masks, sunglasses, etc. is displayed from the face image. At this time, for example, when a mask or the like is worn, the wearing rate of the mask or the like (date of visit to the store such as the mask / date of all visits) (frequency) is displayed corresponding to the player.

In this case, the player may be wearing a mask because he / she has hay fever, for example, and it is not accurate to judge that he / she is suspicious simply by wearing an accessory. Detects the first state where the mouth, nose, etc. are hidden and the second state where it is not hidden, and determines the number of transitions from the first state to the second state and / or from the second state to the first state on a player-by-player basis, business days. It is aggregated in units, and the search conditions include business days in which the number of transitions in business days is equal to or greater than the reference value (for example, 5 times). This is because there is a tendency for the mask and the like to be frequently shifted and removed as a psychological tendency of the fraudster. The search condition may be the case where the number of transitions of the excellent players exceeds the reference value within one business day, or the average number of transitions may be targeted.

3. 3. Search function for multiple users of the same card A game group that uses one membership card for multiple players to play a game may come to the store, and there is a desire to detect the visit of such a game group, so management The device 6 has a search function for multiple people using the same card.

This function stores the facial images of each person and performs a list search when one member card is used by a plurality of people. Since reverse lookup from the ID number of the membership card is also possible, when the ID of the membership card that seems to belong to a suspicious group is acquired, the faces of the members of the group can be grasped.

To use the card multi-person use search function, select "member card multi-person use" as the type as shown in FIG.
When the "search" button 56 is clicked while "use of multiple members" is selected, the management device 6 displays the member card use search list screen.

FIG. 10 shows a membership card usage search screen, which is used by a plurality of people during the relevant period because it is determined that the player is a player (matching player) who has used the same membership card and is not the same player. A plurality of face images including the face images (player images) of the plurality of users are displayed in a comparable manner for the registered membership card. In this case, the card ID unit (identification information unit) is listed, the card attribute information (identification medium attribute information) is displayed in the information field 59, and the card attribute information and the face image list 60 are compared and displayed. The card attribute information is the member number, gender, age, etc. of the member.

In FIG. 10, the face images are displayed in the order of oldest game date and time, and the face images can be confirmed in order by scrolling in the horizontal direction, but the face images may be displayed in the newest order. By entering the membership number in the "membership number" input unit 65 as the aggregation target, it is possible to perform reverse lookup of a person using a specific membership card.
Further, when a plurality of persons determined to be different persons on the same day use the same membership card, the face image is identified and displayed by, for example, being surrounded by a thick red frame as shown in FIG.

If the face image identified and displayed by the administrator is a user's face image that can be tolerated even if the membership card is reused, for example, a couple, the member card usage search is performed with the face image selected. Click the "determination release" button 66 (release means) displayed on the screen.

When the "determination release" button 66 is clicked, the management device 6 excludes the corresponding face image from the target of the identification display or the display itself (releases the determination). After that, when the member card multi-person use search function is executed, the identification display or the face image will not be displayed. In this case, the above determination may be canceled by another method such as displaying that the confirmation has been completed.

4. Tracking function As described above, it is possible to search for a player who may be fraudulent by setting desired search conditions, but it cannot be determined as a fraudulent person. Therefore, the management device 6 has a tracking function for determining whether or not the searched player is a fraudulent person.

At the bottom of the individual details screen shown in FIG. 8, a "tracker registration" button 67, a "designated person registration" button 68, a "careful person registration" button 69, and a "registration cancellation" button 70 are displayed. The "tracker registration" button 67 is a button for accumulating the game history as a tracker for, for example, one year instead of the usual one month. It is possible to separately set usage rights for tracker-related functions.

The "designated person registration" button 68 and the "attention-required person registration" button 69 are buttons to be registered when an automatic alarm is to be issued at the next visit to the store. In this case, the designated person and the person requiring attention are distinguished by the degree of suspicion, and the employee changes the response (degree of attention) to the player according to the selection between the designated person and the person requiring attention. be able to. In addition, it can be assumed that the person requiring attention is a fraudulent person and the designated person is a regular customer.

When the administrator wants to track a suspicious player when he / she confirms the individual details screen, he / she clicks the "tracker registration" button 67 with the face image selected.
Since the management device 6 displays a registration screen (not shown), a registration operation is performed when registering as a tracker.
As described above, the tracker can be registered in the management device 6.

If you want to confirm the tracker, click the "tracker confirmation" button 42 displayed on the menu screen shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the "visitor search" button 41 and the "maintenance" button 43 on the menu screen are inactivated, and at the same time, the "tracker list" button 71 is associated with the "tracker confirmation" button 42. And the "tracker release history" button 72 is displayed, so click the "tracker list" button 71.

When the "tracker list" button 71 is clicked, the management device 6 displays the tracker list screen shown in FIG. On the tracker list screen, a face image 74, a tracking start date 75, a last visit date 76, and a “memo” column 77 are displayed corresponding to the registered tracker tracking ID 73.

Since the tracking start date selection unit 78 and the last visit date selection unit 79 are displayed on the tracker list screen, by clicking the "search" button 56 with these selected, the individual detail screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed. Display a calendar screen similar to. In this case, the player image can be confirmed for one year by scrolling the calendar. In addition, the tracking ID input unit 80 can display the calendar screen of a specific tracker.

The management device 6 extracts and displays a list of facial images of the players registered for tracking among the players who visited the store during the target period from the input tracking start date to the last visit date. Normally, the face image for the past month is saved, but when tracking registration is performed, long-term tracking is possible by saving the face image of the registered person for one year.

Since the "cancel tracking" button 81 is displayed on the tracker list screen, when canceling the tracking, click the "cancel tracking" button 81 with the player image selected.
When the "tracking release" button 81 is clicked, the management device 6 cancels the tracking of the corresponding player, but stores the cancellation information in the tracker cancellation history for, for example, one year from the cancellation date.

The detailed tracking history can be displayed by clicking the "tracking history display" button 82, and the description in the "memo" column 77 can be edited by clicking the "memo editing" button 83.
If you want to check the tracking cancellation history, click the "tracker cancellation history" button 72 shown in FIG.

When the "tracker cancellation history" button 72 is clicked, the management device 6 displays a tracking cancellation history screen (not shown), so that the player who has canceled the tracking can be confirmed. Since the "Re-register" button is displayed on the track cancellation history screen, if you want to track the player who canceled the tracking again, click the "Re-registration" button to resume tracking based on the tracker cancellation history. do.
As described above, the tracker can be arbitrarily registered / canceled.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
In the management device 6, game information such as balance and output rate indicates a good platform, while on the management device 6, a gaming machine set as a non-excellent platform is specified, so that it is set that the management device 6 is not a good platform in terms of management. Despite this, it will be possible to appropriately respond to fraudulent adjustments that will be a good platform for pachinko and pachislot machines.

Since the conditions related to the game information and the adjustment information set in the management device 6 are set and the player image that matches the selected condition is displayed, it is easier to grasp the image of the player who is performing the above fraud. Become.

Since the game information is the game information for each gaming machine, even if the game information does not indicate the excellent platform for each player, it is possible to target the game information for each gaming machine by showing the excellent platform. Therefore, even if a fraudulent player plays a good platform but the game ends without a result, it can be included in the target for which the fraudulent play has been performed.

While the game information indicates an excellent platform, when a player of a gaming machine set to a non-excellent platform is selected on the management device, the player image of the player on another gaming machine on the business day is displayed as the gaming time. By displaying with, for example, after grasping the game tendency such as whether the game was played without moving the table, whether the table was moved to another excellent table, or whether the table was moved to a non-excellent game machine, the above You will be able to determine if fraud has been committed.

While the game information indicates a good platform at the start of business, the player of the game machine that corresponds to the condition of playing on the game machine set as a non-excellent platform on the management device is extracted, so from the game hall manager who colludes. In consideration of the case of playing from the beginning of business in order to secure the excellent platform that I heard, even though it is set that it is not a good platform in terms of management, the game machine is adjusted to be a good platform. You will be able to determine if it was done.

Even if there are many player images to be compared for multiple business days in order to detect fraudulent setting leaks, and there is a high risk that different players will be judged as the same player on the system, each business day will be used. Since the player images of the above are output in a comparable manner, the administrator can judge whether the judgment with the same player is correct, while the game by the same player can be played on the excellent table by the corresponding excellent table information. It is possible to confirm whether or not there is any, and it is possible to appropriately support the judgment as to whether or not there is any fraud related to the leakage of excellent platform information.

Since it outputs information indicating the mode distribution for each model, it is possible to grasp whether or not only the excellent mode is being played even though the ratio of the excellent mode corresponding to the excellent platform is low, and it is possible to appropriately support the above judgment. Will be.

Player images become enormous by straddling multiple business days, and it is necessary to set an upper limit deadline and store the image, but it is suspicious because the player image that has been registered as a tracker is stored beyond the upper limit deadline. As for the player, it is possible to compare and examine the player image for a longer period than that of other players.

In addition to being able to display player images by business day for each player, it is possible to sort by the number of game days of the excellent platform and the ratio of the excellent platform, so it is possible to appropriately grasp the players who frequently play the excellent platform. Become.

During the target period, the image of the business day when the player visited the store can be displayed in association with the calendar 61, and the business day when the player played the excellent platform can be identified and displayed. During the period, it will be possible to easily grasp how often the store is visited and how often the excellent platform is played.

When the "wearing mask, etc." effective part 53 is valid, the image of the player who is a good player and wears a mask, sunglasses, etc. is extracted, so that the player who wears the mask, etc. is an illegal person. It will be possible to appropriately support the judgment of existence.
Since the mask rate is displayed when the image of the player on the excellent table is displayed, it is possible to provide an index for determining whether the player on the excellent table is a fraudulent person based on the mask rate.

As a psychological tendency of fraudsters, there is a tendency to frequently shift and remove masks, etc., so for players on excellent platforms, the first state where the nose and mouth are hidden by the mask etc. and the second state where they are not hidden. Since it is possible to detect the state, it is possible to support the judgment as to whether or not the player on the excellent platform has a psychological tendency of a fraudulent person.
Since the number of times the first state is changed to the second state or the number of times the second state is changed to the first state is counted for each player, it is possible to determine whether or not the player is a fraudulent person based on the number of transitions.

Among the players on the excellent platform, it is possible to extract images of players who frequently move or remove the attached item by business day based on the result of comparing the number of transitions on the business day when the attached item is worn and the reference value. Therefore, by comparing the images of the players who have the tendency of the extracted fraudsters, not only can the fraudsters be judged appropriately, but also the judgment accuracy on the system can be confirmed. ..

Since the images of the multiple users are output in a comparable manner for the card IDs specified by multiple users, it is acceptable as a playground to judge whether the system judgment with multiple users is correct. For example, it becomes possible to determine whether or not a couple has used a membership card, and it is possible to appropriately support the determination as to whether or not one membership card has been reused.

Since the identification is displayed when different players use the same card ID on the same business day, it is possible to give priority to the business day when the membership card is reused.
Since the number of users is displayed in units of card IDs, if the number of users is large, it is possible to determine that there is a high possibility of use by the above group rather than, for example, use between couples, which is acceptable in the amusement park.

Since the card attribute information is output so as to be comparable to the image of the corresponding card user, it is possible to support the determination of whether the card user is a registered player.
If the same judgment is selected incorrectly, the same judgment will be canceled, so not only will it be possible to correct the judgment on the system, but it will also be acceptable even if the membership card is reused like a married couple. , It becomes possible to suppress repeated detection.

The same player image is also displayed in units of business days, and the business day in which multiple players are specified is displayed with priority on the business day in which a single player is specified, so the membership card is reused. It is possible to prioritize the business days to be judged.
