2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when playing a game at a pachinko hall, the player pays a predetermined amount of money to receive a pachinko ball for rent and also plays a game using the pachinko ball. When a pachinko ball is won by, the pachinko ball is exchanged for a prize to obtain a reward.

[0003]

In the conventional pachinko hall, in the case of playing the above-mentioned game, the number of pachinko balls (payout prize price) acquired by the game and No information is fed back regarding the information indicating the game performance such as the tendency of the payout state. For this reason, it is completely impossible for the player to inquire about his or her own game record, and when the player wants to obtain such a game record, he / she will rely solely on his / her own memory to record the game record. The method of writing a memo on the above will be adopted.

However, in such a means, the player may not be able to concentrate on the game and the interest in the game may be lowered. Therefore, the game performance (especially the amount of data to be stored such as the tendency of the payout state on the game machine to be stored). There is a problem that it is inevitable that the game performance will be inaccurate because it will be neglected, and a great deal of effort is required to obtain an accurate game performance. At the same time, the player may not be able to concentrate on the game, and his or her game performance may not be improved. Of course, with respect to the above-mentioned game players who are careless about the game results, they have no choice but to rely on their memory when verifying and examining their own past game results, which is practically meaningless.

In general, in order to make a profit in a pachinko game, it is said that it is desirable to analyze past game results and examine and examine the reason why the profit does not increase, but from the pachinko hall side as in the past. In the configuration in which the game performance is not fed back, the above analysis becomes difficult, which may cause the player to promote the pachinko hall separation.

[0006] In recent years, in a game hall such as a pachinko hall, a member card in which an ID code that can identify the player is written is issued to a player who has previously registered as a member, and There is provided a data management system in which the number of pachinko balls obtained by playing a game can be stored in a state of being associated with the above-mentioned ID code as a so-called “ball saving”. Since it is difficult to confirm on the side, there is a fear that the anxiety about the system may be amplified and the interest of the player side regarding the stored coins is halved.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to allow a player to play a game on a gaming machine.
For a game arcade, which can easily provide data indicating a game record related to the game to a specific game player, which can enhance the interest in the game and the attendance power of the game arcade. In the case of constructing a system capable of storing the number of game media acquired by the game by the player in association with the ID code, the number of stored game media is indicated. It is an object of the present invention to provide a data management system for a game arcade, which can easily provide the custody data to the game game player and can improve the convenience of the game game player.

A data management means for totalizing management, a data writing medium which is issued to the player in association with an ID code assigned to the player, and is capable of recording arbitrary data, and the data writing medium. On the other hand, a data recording terminal capable of recording the data corresponding to the ID code of the data writing medium out of the aggregated management data by the data managing means is provided (claim 1).

In this case, a record carrier on which the ID code issued to the game player and assigned to the game player is recorded, and the number of game media acquired by the game game by the game player are the IDs.
A data input terminal for inputting deposit data associated with a code is provided, and the data management means associates the deposit data input from the data input terminal with the game data and the ID code. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which total management is carried out in a closed state (claim 2).

Further, after the data writing medium is constituted by a notebook, the data recording terminal may be constituted so as to include a printing means for printing the total management data by the data management means on the notebook. Good (Claim 3).

[0011]

In the system according to claim 1,
The data management means collectively manages the game data from a large number of gaming machines in a state of being associated with the ID code assigned to the player at the gaming machine. Further, when a data writing medium in a state associated with the ID code assigned to the player is issued to the player, and the player wants to obtain his own game record, Is
Data corresponding to the ID code of the data writing medium of the totalized management data by the data managing means is recorded on the data writing medium through the data recording terminal.

Therefore, it becomes possible to easily provide the game data, that is, the game record, in the gaming machine in which the player has played a game to the specific player to which the ID code is assigned, through the data recording terminal. As a result, the interest of the game for the above-mentioned players will be improved,
By increasing the interest in such games, it is possible to improve the ability to attract customers at the game hall.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a record carrier in which the ID code is recorded is issued to the game player, and the game player records the number of game media acquired by the game as the record carrier. The data can be input from the data input terminal as the deposit data associated with the ID code of. In this way, when the deposit data is input through the data input terminal, the data managing means manages the input deposit data together with the game data in a state of being associated with the ID code.

Therefore, the game customer stores the game data and the deposit data corresponding to the ID code of the data writing medium and the record carrier in the data recording medium in the total management data by the data managing means. You will be able to record through. As a result, even when building a system in which the number of game media acquired by a game player can be stored in a state of being associated with the ID code of the record carrier, the custody data indicating the number of stored game media can be stored for the player. It can be easily provided and the convenience of the player can be improved.
