Description

The present invention relates to a system for amusement parks.

Conventionally, gaming machines such as slot machines are provided with a function called a ceiling that generates a ceiling bonus state when a special state such as a jackpot or ART does not occur even after playing a certain number of games, which is a ceiling standard game. For example, Patent Document 1 takes into consideration players who expect a ceiling bonus from a ceiling game that is the target of the previous day's ceiling standard game, and proposes preventing trouble with the player by informing the player when the previous day's ceiling game has been initialized.

JP 2014-14484 A

Patent Document 1 proposes initializing the ceiling game, and fears that if the total value of the ceiling game for the previous day and the current day reaches the ceiling reference game but the ceiling bonus state does not occur, the player may feel uncomfortable and operation may be affected. However, it is not clear whether the game information indicating operation will be affected in the first place. In other words, there is a possibility that the player will not feel uncomfortable even if the total value reaches the ceiling reference game, and moreover, there is a possibility that the player will be attracted to the gameplay of the gaming machine and will continue to play.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to provide an amusement arcade system that can determine whether or not game information will be affected when the total value of the ceiling games for the previous day and the current day reaches the ceiling reference games.

According to the invention described in claim 1, whether or not the managed ceiling condition is met is determined based on the total managed start information, which indicates the sum of the managed start information for the previous day and the managed start information for the current day since the opening of the amusement arcade, and if the managed ceiling condition is met, whether or not a ceiling privilege has been granted is determined. The gaming information is managed according to the determination result, so that if the total value of the ceiling games for the previous day and the current day reaches the ceiling reference games, it is possible to know whether or not the gaming information will be affected.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of the system for an amusement facility. A large number of gaming machines 1 are installed in the amusement facility, and a gaming machine device 2 is installed corresponding to each gaming machine 1. These gaming machines 1 and gaming machine devices 2 are connected to a relay device 3 in pairs, and the relay device 3 is connected to a management device 5 (corresponding to a game information specifying means, a first determination means, a second determination means, and a management means) via a LAN 4. In addition, a POS and a balance settlement machine (neither shown) are also installed in the amusement facility, and these POS and balance settlement machines are also connected to the management device 5 via the LAN 4. Although not shown in FIG. 1, for example, several hundred gaming machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 5. The management device 5 is installed in, for example, an office in the amusement facility, and is connected to a keyboard 6, a monitor 7, a printer (not shown), etc. operated by the manager of the amusement facility. The management device 5 inputs game signals output from the gaming machines (gaming machine 1, gaming machine device 2, etc.) to manage the game data for each gaming machine 1, the personal data for each registered member, the operating status of the gaming machine 1, gaming machine device 2, etc.

The gaming machine 1 is a CR (card reader) pachinko gaming machine, and has an operating handle 9, an upper tray 10, and a lower tray 11 that constitute a launching device that launches balls onto the board 8, and also has an LCD display 12, a regular prize opening 13, a first start opening 14, a second start opening 15, and a big prize opening 16 on the board 8.

The gaming machine 1 operates as follows.
(1) The first starting hole 14 is a winning hole whose winning rate does not fluctuate (a so-called center winning hole), and the second starting hole 15 is a winning hole whose winning rate fluctuates (a so-called electric chute).
(2) A jackpot lottery is held in response to a winning entry (start winning) into the first start hole 14 or the second start hole 15, and the lottery result is announced by a pattern change on the liquid crystal display unit 12, and a jackpot is awarded depending on the result of the change.

(3) If a start win occurs during a pattern change, the pattern changes are cumulatively reserved up to a predetermined reserved upper limit (for example, four of each), and the reserved pattern changes will begin after the pattern changes have ended. Note that if a start win occurs when the number of reserved pattern changes (reserved number) is at the upper limit, the pattern changes will not be reserved.

(4) The probability of winning the jackpot lottery (jackpot probability) is 1/200, and the probability rate, which is the percentage of jackpots that subsequently enter a probability state (probability rate) and result in a jackpot (probability rate jackpot), is 50% for center hole wins and 70% for the electric chute. When a jackpot occurs, the large prize opening 16 is opened for the allocated number of rounds (R). Here, R is allocated to 4R for all center hole wins, while for the electric chute it is allocated to 10R 50% and 4R 50%. The upper limit for the number of wins in 1R is 10, and the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R ends when either the upper limit for the number of wins or the upper limit opening time is met.

(5) During the special probability period, the probability of winning increases to 1/50 and the winning rate for each starting port 14, 15 increases, resulting in a combined time-saving state (time-saving), which continues until a jackpot occurs. On the other hand, if a normal jackpot occurs that does not result in a special probability period, the time-saving state (single time-saving state) continues until 100 pattern changes have occurred, and if no jackpot occurs, the state returns to the normal state.

(6) The second starting port 15 opens with a high winning rate when the normal pattern (normal pattern) that changes in response to the winning of the normal pattern winning port 13 becomes a winning pattern. In this case, the time for one normal pattern to change is 30 seconds in the normal state and 3 seconds in the time-saving state. Also, the opening time is 0.3 seconds in the normal state and 5 seconds in the time-saving state. In other words, in the time-saving state, the normal pattern change time is shorter compared to the normal state, while the opening time is longer, resulting in a higher winning rate of the second starting port 15.

(7) The number of symbol changes (corresponding to gaming machine start information) after the initialization condition is met (for example, a jackpot occurs or RAM is cleared) is managed, and if a jackpot does not occur until a specified number of symbol changes (500 times, corresponding to the gaming machine ceiling condition) are performed, the time is shortened (corresponding to ceiling time shortening, ceiling bonus) until a specified number of symbol changes (700 times) are performed, but since it does not become a probability change, it becomes a single time shortening. Here, the symbol changes to generate the ceiling time shortening are not subject to addition during the probability change, including the compound time shortening, but the single time shortening is subject to addition since it is not a probability change. Also, if the time shortening ends without a jackpot occurring, the ceiling time shortening will not occur even if the specified number (500 times) of symbol changes are performed thereafter. In addition to such gaming machines, gaming machines other than the exemplified gaming machines, such as gaming machines that are subject to addition even during the probability change, gaming machines that do not generate single time shortening such as so-called ST machines, or gaming machines that have multiple jackpot probabilities and can be changed by settings, may be managed. The above is an example of model A, but for model B, the round allocation will be different, and the values will vary depending on the model.

The gaming machine 1 and the peripheral devices attached to the gaming machine 1 output the following game signals as the game progresses, such as when the player shoots balls and when starting winnings occur in the starting holes 14, 15.
Out signal = a signal (operation signal) capable of identifying the consumption value (out) output from the out box that collects consumed balls. Since one pulse is output for every 10 balls consumed (used, inserted, collected), "the number of out signals x 10" is identified as out. Note that it may also be a signal output from the gaming machine.

Safe signal = a signal that can identify the winning value (safe) output from the gaming machine. Since one pulse is output for every 10 balls paid out in response to a win, "number of safe signals x 10" is identified as safe. The resupply signal output from a resupply device can also be used as a safe signal. There are actual safe signals that are output when balls are actually paid out, and winning safe signals that are output when a payout is reserved in response to a win, but it is preferable to use the latter in order to minimize the time lag between winning and output.

Start signal = a signal that can specify the start process (pattern change, device operation, unit game) and start (number of start processes) in the liquid crystal display unit (device) that changes (operates) due to the start winning (S winning) output from the gaming machine. Since it is output when the pattern change is confirmed, the start process is specified according to the signal input. Note that it may be substituted with the S winning signal output at the time of the start winning.

Jackpot signal = a signal that can identify the jackpot period output from the gaming machine. Since it is a status signal that is output at a certain level during a jackpot, the time when the jackpot signal is being input is identified as the time when a jackpot is occurring.

Special state signal = a signal that can identify a special state (sweet state) output from the gaming machine. Since it is a state signal whose level is output during a special state (during time reduction (including combined time reduction)) in which the winning rate of the second starting port 15 increases, the special state is identified as being in progress when the special state signal is being input. It may also be a state signal (probability bonus signal) whose level is output during a probability bonus in which the probability of a jackpot increases. In addition, the period in which neither a jackpot signal nor a special state signal is input is identified as being in a normal state. "

The gaming machine device 2 is a rental machine with a so-called counting function for each machine, and has a status indicator light 17 that shows the game status of the gaming machine 1, a coin insertion slot 18 into which coins (monetary value, valuable value) are inserted, a touch panel type liquid crystal display unit 19 that accepts operation inputs from the player and displays game data such as the number of pattern changes (number of starts) and the probability of a jackpot as the game progresses, a payout button 20 for paying out held balls (including saved balls if the player is a member, acquired value, valuable value), a payout nozzle 21 through which the paid out balls pass, a card insertion slot 22 into which a general card or a membership card is inserted, and a removable counting tray 23 located below the lower tray 11 of the gaming machine 1.

The gaming machine device 2 operates as follows.
(1) When currency is accepted (currency acceptance process), the amount of the deposit is displayed on both the gaming machine 1 and the gaming machine device 2, and one unit of loaned balls (value of loaned balls) (e.g., 500 yen) is paid out from the gaming machine 1 (value giving process), and the display of the amount of the deposit becomes the balance excluding the value of the loaned balls according to the value giving process. Currency can be accepted in an amount corresponding to multiple value giving processes (e.g., up to 10,000 yen). When the loan button of the gaming machine 1 is pressed with a balance (loan operation, grant operation), one unit of loaned balls is paid out from the gaming machine, and the value is deducted from the balance. In addition, the machine is also equipped with a so-called counting function for each machine, which counts the balls acquired by the player and can pay out the balls again using the counted balls as value, and the number of balls excluding the value of the payout can be specified as the balls held.

(2) When the return button on gaming machine 1 is pressed (the issuance operation is accepted) while there is remaining balance or balls in hand, a general card that can identify the remaining balls or balls in hand is issued. Note that for the sake of simplicity, partial issuance of a card that is the target of issuance of a portion of the balance or balls in hand is not permitted, but may be possible.

(3) Serial communication with relay device 4 (receiving sales signals) can identify the currency acceptance process, the value granting process, the balance and number of balls lent, the amount deposited, the number of balls lent, the sales amount in exchange for the lent balls, the counted balls, the balls in hand, the paid-out balls, and the acceptance and issuance process of general cards. These can also be identified by pulse signals (e.g., one pulse for every 1,000 yen deposited, one pulse for every 100 yen sold, etc.).

As is well known, the management device 5 performs settings such as model setting that associates machine numbers with machine models, and also collects game information for each gaming machine, and collects the game history shown in Fig. 2. The items shown in Fig. 2 are as follows.
The previous day's S = the number of pattern changes (corresponding to start and management start information) for the ceiling game up to the previous day. If no jackpot occurs, the cumulative start of the previous day (including the carryover from the day before) is the target, but if a jackpot occurs, the start from the last jackpot on the business day of the previous day is the target. For example, when the game history shown in FIG. 2 corresponds to the previous day, that is, the previous day's S of the next day will be explained below. In FIG. 2, NO33 is the last record, and since the store is closed in this state, the jackpot of NO31 is the last jackpot (as will be described later, the record with T1Y indicated corresponds to the occurrence of a jackpot), and the sum of the starts of NO32 and NO33, "153", is the target of the previous day's S. The ceiling game is a start for generating the ceiling time reduction, and as mentioned above, for example, in the case of a machine in which the probability change is not applicable, the pattern change is appropriately excluded from the excluded starts such as the probability change period.

Time = The time corresponding to the record, such as the time when a jackpot or special state occurred or the time when the record was created.
State=state of gaming machine 1.
Out = the number of balls (number of media used) inserted into the gaming machine 1.
Safe = the number of balls awarded from gaming machine 1.
S = start.
T1Y = balls issued during a jackpot (safe-out).

Category = If the total start (corresponding to the total management start information), which indicates the sum of the previous day's start (corresponding to the previous day's management start information) and the start until the day's jackpot or special state occurs (corresponding to the current day's management start information), reaches the ceiling standard start (ceiling standard S) (if the management ceiling conditions are met and the ceiling bonus is not given), it is "breakthrough", if it does not reach the ceiling standard and enters a special state (ceiling) (if the management ceiling conditions are not met and the ceiling bonus is given), it is "reached", otherwise it is "other".

Figure 2 shows a game history in which records are created in response to the occurrence or end of a special state (sweet state) such as time saving, and it is possible to know that a jackpot has occurred from a record showing T1Y, such as in No. 1. On the other hand, when the state transitions from a normal state to a special state without T1Y being shown, as in No. 5, it is possible to know that a ceiling has occurred, and the state is marked as "ceiling" as in No. 6.

Here, as described above, "classification" is gaming information that indicates whether a machine is a breakthrough gaming machine (a gaming machine classified as "breakthrough") that is the target for classifying gaming information, and whether the total start, which indicates the sum of the previous day's starts and the day's starts up until the first big hit or special state (ceiling) of the day, reaches a ceiling reference value (for example, 500), is a "breakthrough", if the total start reaches the ceiling reference value and a ceiling occurs, is a "reached", and otherwise is "other". Figure 2 shows an example of making the above judgment after managing the gaming history, but it is of course possible to make the above judgment without managing the gaming history.

When managing a breakthrough gaming machine, the following management method can be envisaged.
(1) A management method for distinguishing the game information for the entire day (for example, No. 1 to No. 33) from other game machines. See FIG.
(2) A management method for distinguishing game information after the point at which the total value of the start of the previous day and the start of the current day reaches the ceiling reference value (the point at which the game breaks through) from other information. This corresponds to "up to the breakthrough" and "after the breakthrough" shown in FIG. 4.
(3) A management method for distinguishing game information after the establishment of a game end condition such that the game is no longer in operation after the breakthrough point from other game information. This corresponds to the "after end" example shown in FIG.
(4) A management method for distinguishing game information from the time of breakthrough until the game end condition is met from other information. This corresponds to the "until end" illustrated in FIG.
As with the breakthrough gaming machines, the reached gaming machines whose classification has been reached are also managed separately from the others in terms of game information (see FIG. 3).

The management device 5 tally up the breakthrough information (model A) shown in Figure 3 as a category of "breakthrough machine" determined to be "breakthrough," "reached machine" determined to be "reached," and "other machine" determined to be "other." The items shown in Figure 3 are as follows.

Gaming machine classification: A "breakthrough machine" is a gaming machine 1 where the total of the starts on the day since opening and the starts on the previous day reached the ceiling standard value and no ceiling time reduction occurred; a "reaching machine" is a gaming machine 1 where the above total reached the ceiling standard value and ceiling time reduction occurred; "other machines" is a gaming machine 1 other than a breakthrough machine or a reaching machine where a jackpot occurred without the above total reaching the ceiling standard value; and "all machines" is all of the target gaming machines 1.
Number of machines, ratio of number of machines = The number of machines is the number of machines divided into gaming machine categories, and the ratio of number of machines is the ratio of the number of machines in each category to all gaming machines (total machines).
OUT=the gaming value consumed in the gaming machine 1 identified by the OUT signal.

Operating rate = the percentage of time that the gaming machine 1 is in operation, and is the percentage of the outs that would be obtained if the gaming machine 1 were in operation throughout the entire business hours (for example, business hours x 5000).
Payout rate = The ratio of the game value awarded in response to a play specified by a safe signal to the game value awarded in response to an out.

Number of players = The number of players determined by non-operation, image authentication based on images captured by imaging means such as a camera installed on the gaming machine device 2 or the edge of the island, or the replacement of gaming cards such as membership cards or general cards.

The number of jackpots, S = the number of jackpots, is the number of jackpots specified by the jackpot signal, and S is the number of times the device in the gaming machine 1 is activated, which is specified by the start signal. Incidentally, "normal" and "sweet" including the following indicate game information corresponding to a normal state period or a special state period such as a time-saving period.
TS, Ceiling = TS is the average start for generating a jackpot, and is the value that indicates S divided by the number of jackpots. Ceiling is the number of times that the ceiling time reduction has occurred.
Sales = monetary value that is the equivalent of the gaming value (number of balls loaned, value awarded) awarded in the corresponding gaming machine device 2 identified by the sales signal.

Gross profit, gross ball profit = gross profit is the operating profit of the amusement parlor according to the play, and is determined as gross profit = sales - acquired balls x rental cost x cost rate. Note that acquired balls (acquired value) = balls sold + safe - out, sold balls = sales ÷ rental cost, rental cost = 4 yen, cost rate = 90.9%. Gross ball profit is gross profit per out → gross profit ÷ out Operating share = the ratio of the amusement parlor's profit and loss (lost balls) to the actual sales amount (sold balls), and is determined as operating share = acquired balls ÷ sold balls.

The management device 5 also manages the game information for the "breakthrough machine" by dividing it into before and after the breakthrough time, which is the time when the total start reaches the ceiling reference value, or the end time, which is the time when the first player finishes after the breakthrough time, and tally up the breakthrough information details (model A) shown in Figure 4. Note that Figure 4 shows an example of game information divided into from the opening of the store to the breakthrough time and from the breakthrough time to the end time, but the game information may also be divided from the opening of the store to the end time. The items shown in Figure 4 are as follows.

Period classification = "Until the breakthrough" is the period from opening to the point when the total start, which indicates the sum of the previous day's starts and the day's starts, reaches the ceiling reference value (the breakthrough point), "After the breakthrough" is the period from the breakthrough point to closing, "Until the end" is the period from the breakthrough point to the point when the game end condition is met (the end point) and the machine is no longer in operation, and "After the end" is the period from the end point to closing.

Target time = target time according to state classification, and operation rate is the ratio of actual outs to expected outs when playing the entire target time. The target time can be determined, for example, by the timer value or time difference from the point at which a start condition is met, such as the breakthrough point, to the point at which an end condition is met, such as the end of play.

Number of new players = number of new players in each status category, excluding players who continue playing from the previous status category. Therefore, "until end", which is the end of play for players who were playing at the start of the game, will be 0.

Ceiling reach rate = Ceiling reach rate for each state category. "Up to the breakthrough" is the number of times the ceiling occurs relative to the number of times of operation, so it is 0%. Other state categories such as after the breakthrough show the ratio of the number of times the ceiling occurs to the total number of times the state transitioned to each state category and then the number of times the special prize was awarded and the state returned to normal.
FIG. 4 illustrates an example of game information divided into a period from opening to the breakthrough time and a period from the breakthrough time to the end time, but the game information may be divided into a period from opening to the end time.

The management device 5 manages the game information of the breakthrough machine and after the breakthrough by machine type, and compiles the breakthrough information by machine type shown in Figure 5. Note that the comparison subject is the game information compiled for all machines, regardless of whether they are breakthrough machines or not, but it is also possible to manage the reached machines and other machines as the comparison subject. In Figure 5, as the breakthrough abandoned state, the time until the next game starts at the end and the remaining games at that time (which may be other management start information such as total start or start for the day) are managed so that they can be compared with other abandoned states that are not in operation. The items shown in Figure 5 are as follows.

The "time" of the game left unattended from the opening of the store through the ceiling until the end when the next game starts or until closing time, and the "remaining games" is the number of remaining games excluding the start of the day from the ceiling standard value when the gaming machine 1 is left unattended.
Other idle states=The time and remaining games when the gaming machine 1 is left idle other than when it has been idle from the opening time to the end time after having gone through the ceiling.

Figure 5 is an example of dividing the gaming information into all machines and breakthrough machines by machine type. Comparing all machines and breakthrough machines with reference to the "operation rate", it can be seen that for machine A, the operation rate for breakthrough machines is slightly sluggish, with "44.2%" for all machines and "30.8%" for breakthrough machines. However, for machine B, the operation rate is "71.8%" for all machines and "71.1%" for breakthrough machines, so it is not affected much, and for machine Z, the operation rate is "22.6%" for breakthrough machines and "72.6%" for all machines, so it can be seen that it is greatly affected.

In addition, for model B, the percentage of machines that break through the ceiling is high at 31.1%, but the time spent in a breakthrough state (0:46) compared to the time spent in a breakthrough state (0:40), the number of players on the breakthrough state (5.0) compared to the total number of players on the machines (5.1), and the number of players after the breakthrough (4.8) do not change much, so it is possible to understand that even if the ceiling is broken through, it does not have much of an impact. On the other hand, for model Z, the percentage of machines that break through is low at 8.3%, but the time spent in a breakthrough state (9:16) compared to the time spent in a breakthrough state (0:11) compared to the time spent in a breakthrough state (9:16), the number of players on the breakthrough state (2.7) compared to the total number of players on the machines (7.5), and the number of players after the breakthrough (1.9) change significantly, so it is possible to understand that even if the ceiling is broken through, it will be greatly affected, and model A will be affected in the same way, but not as much as model Z. Note that each piece of game information is merely an example, and the target may be changed as appropriate to manage the breakthrough/left-alive state shown in FIG. 5 on a gaming machine basis, for example.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
When the total start indicating the sum of the previous day's start and the current day's start reaches a ceiling reference value, it is judged whether or not a ceiling privilege has been given, and the game information is managed by classifying it according to the judgment result, so that when the total value of the previous day's and the current day's ceiling games reaches the ceiling reference value, it is possible to know whether or not the game information is affected.

The game information is managed by categorizing it according to at least one of the breakthrough state where the total start reaches the ceiling reference value and the end time when the game ends from the breakthrough state, so that if a breakthrough state occurs and the player becomes aware of the initialization process on the gaming center side, it is possible to understand what effect will occur on the game information.

Since the time from the end time until the start of the next game or start information when the next game is started is managed, it is possible to grasp game information when the game machine 1 is left unattended after the breakthrough state.
Since the number of new players after the end of the game is managed, it is possible to grasp how many players have played since the breakthrough state.
Since the game information of the breakthrough machine is managed so as to be comparable with the game information of the reached machine, other machines and all machines, it is possible to grasp the extent to which the breakthrough state affects the game information.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be modified or expanded as follows.
Each set value may be set by the administrator through operation input, may be set in advance by the manufacturer of the management device, or may be set by downloading setting information from an external server (such as the headquarters of a chain store). In this case, the set value is also input through operation input by the server. Of course, past game information may also be set as a reference value.

All of the game information shown as examples may be determined directly by the input signal or indirectly by using an arithmetic formula. Note that the arithmetic formulas shown as examples are merely examples, and any arithmetic formula may be used. Also, while a pulse signal is shown as an example of the game signal, a signal input via serial communication or the like may also be used.

In addition to clearing the RAM, initialization processes for gaming machines performed while the store is closed are expected to include changing so-called setting values that change the probability of a jackpot, clearing processes that only apply to the start, or initialization processes that generate a jackpot by test playing.
The remaining starts are not determined solely by the so-called final start of the previous day, but may be determined by adding the remaining starts of the previous day as appropriate, for example, if no jackpot occurred on the previous day.

The player can know the remaining starts at the last start of the previous day, but the last start of the previous day may or may not be disclosed to the player. If it is disclosed, a wide variety of disclosure methods can be envisaged, such as on an information display for each machine, such as a so-called call lamp, a centralized information display that allows reference to the game information of multiple gaming machines installed at the edge of the island, or disclosure on the web page of the gaming center.
Although an example of a ceiling time-saving ceiling bonus has been given, any type of bonus may be adopted, such as a jackpot or a special bonus, or providing useful information to the player, such as the setting values of the gaming machine.

The numbers, digits, items, etc. are examples, and any numbers may be used. In addition, the identification output may be in any output form, such as adding symbols other than those shown in the examples, and output may be at least printed or displayed.

Either "above or beyond" or "exceeds" can be used, with expressions such as "reached" corresponding to either "became above" or "exceeded." The same goes for "below or below," with expressions such as "did not reach" corresponding to either "became below" or "below."

Target gaming machines include pachinko machines other than the pachinko machines exemplified above, such as the so-called sealed type, which manages gaming media only by data, and slot machines. Note that, taking into consideration gaming machines that do not pay out gaming media, such as the so-called sealed type, gaming media will be expressed as gaming value as necessary.

Part of the processing performed by the management device may be performed by a relay device, a gaming machine device, or the like, and may be configured in any manner. Furthermore, the exemplary configurations may be combined in any manner, including modified examples, and configurations may be omitted as appropriate.

In the drawing, 1 is a gaming machine, and 5 is a management device (game information identification means, first determination means, second determination means, management means).
