Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention is applicable to a plurality of amusement halls (stores).
The present invention relates to a data management system of a game arcade that jointly manages sales data of.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, various equipment at amusement halls such as pachinko parlors have become high-tech, and in addition to ball / medal feeding control, ball / medal lending machine loan amount data, prize exchange, etc. Computers (central management) are being managed on a store-by-store basis to manage the counting data of ball / medal counters brought in by customers.

[0003]

However, this type of central management is limited to management of each amusement hall, and is merely aimed at facilitating sales management, and it is a data management that is fair to the outside world. It doesn't go far. That is, since the computer management of the conventional game hall is all performed in the store until the data is stored, the totalized result can be freely corrected, and the sales amount can be easily deceived (illegal). For this reason, for example, it is not possible to eliminate the problems of amusement halls (pachinko parlors) that are constantly cited in ranking tax-exempt companies. Moreover, a large amount of capital investment is required to equip a computer with a capacity capable of managing all the data in each game hall. Further, recently, along with the development of so-called prepaid cards, even in this industry, various types of play have become possible with the prepaid card system, and the service for customers has been improved. However, the data management related to this type of prepaid card currently used is only the sales data of the prepaid card and the sales data management by the prepaid card, and the problem such as the prevention of tampering with the sales amount of each store has not been solved.

In view of the above situation, the present invention has a large number of amusement halls that are affiliated with each other by establishing a data management center in a certain area unit.
Make sure to collect the final sales data,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a data management system for a game arcade that solves the above problems.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is to provide loan amount data from a ball lending machine, a medal lending machine, etc., and payment count data from a ball counting machine, a medal counting machine, etc. arranged in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor. To the in-store data aggregating device and the amusement center unit aggregate data output from the in-store data aggregating device is led at least once a day to the amusement hall data management center located in a predetermined area via wired or wireless transmission. In this game hall data management center, sales data for each game hall is totaled and jointly managed.

[0006]

[Function] Due to the above-mentioned configuration, an inter-mountain ball lending machine between pachinko machines such as an island-type array in a game arcade (pachinko parlor) or a machine lending machine between slot machine machines or a ball lending machine on the island edge Lending amount data from the machine or medal lending machine, and the counting data of the ball counter and the medal counter brought in by the customer are guided to the in-store data aggregating device, and the data of the in-store data aggregating device for each amusement park is specified through a telephone line or the like. The data is sent to an amusement hall data management center located in a region, sales data is aggregated at the amusement hall data management center, and memory is managed on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis.

[0007]

The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a relationship between a game hall and a game hall data management center. Reference numeral 1 denotes a single game hall, and an in-store data totaling device 2 arranged in the game hall 1 has floor ball lending. The machine 3 and the floor medal lending machine 4, and the inter-mountain ball lending machine 3'and the inter-machine medal lending machine 4 ', which are called "sands" that are interposed between the pachinko machines or slot machine machines in the island arrangement, are connected and The ball counting machine 5 and the medal counting machine 6 provided for the counter etc. are connected. Further, the in-store data totaling device 2 for each amusement hall is, for example, a amusement hall data management center 8 arranged in a predetermined area with a public line (telephone line) 7.
It is connected to a computer processor 9 having functions of CPU, RAM, ROM, etc. to configure a data management mechanism of a game hall.

Explaining this action next, first, during business hours, the customer is a ball lending machine 3, 3'or a medal lending machine 4, 4 '.
When a coin is inserted into the coin lending machine 3, 3 ′ or the medal lending machine 4, 4 ′, the coin validator 10, the bill validator 11, the prepaid card processing device 12, the control device 13, and the data transmission device 14 are provided. The ball / medal lending mechanism 15 lends a working ball or medal, and inputs the output amount data of the lending to the in-store data totaling device 2. In this case, in the inter-mountain ball lending machine 3 ′ and the inter-mountain token lending machine 4 ′, the data is input to the in-store data totaling device 2 via the data relay device 19.

Further, in the ball counter 5 or the medal counter 6 for counting the balls or medals held by the customer placed in the store, the counting mechanism 16 provided inside, the control device 17 and the data transmission device 18 output the data. The calculated counting data is input to the in-store data totaling device 2. These collected data are held until they are transmitted to the game hall data management center 8.

Here, the in-store data collection device 2
The rental amount data and the counting data for each amusement hall, which have been totaled in step 1, are transmitted to the amusement hall data management center 8 once a day or more via the public line 7, and the amusement hall data management center 8
The processing device 9 collects sales data. This data is tabulated on a daily, monthly, or yearly basis. In addition, this data is requested by the amusement hall (input of a predetermined password etc.)
Make it possible to disclose only the data of your own store. Of course, keep the secret to other stores. It may be disclosed in response to a data request from a specific agency such as a tax office.

[0012]

As described above, the data management system for the amusement hall according to the present invention uses the in-store data aggregating device to collect the loan amount data of the ball lending machine or the like and the count data of the ball counting machine or the like for each amusement hall. It is transmitted to the amusement hall data management center, which is the institution, where the sales data for each amusement hall is aggregated and the data is managed for a long period of time. It can be planned. In addition, because it is not the aggregation of the data within the store, it is impossible to falsify the data,
It also helps prevent tax evasion, contributes to the improvement of the image of the amusement park, and has the effect of leading to a social recognition as a sound and fair entertainment industry.
