Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to gaming data generated from a plurality of gaming machines such as pachinko machines, pachi-slot machines, card type gaming machines, and ball lending machines, card vending machines and card type ball lending machines. The present invention relates to a central management device of an amusement store that centrally manages operation data generated from a terminal for ball rental related to ball rental.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a central management device of a game store that collects and centrally manages game data from a plurality of gaming machines such as pachinko machines and operation data from a ball rental terminal is, for example, It is known from JP-A-59-184968 proposed by the present applicant, and also from JP-A-3-2122282. Then, these central management devices collect various data, perform arithmetic storage according to the purpose, or visually display and output.

[0003]

Conventionally, in the centralized management of a game shop, the opening time and the closing time of each game shop are set based on the unified time in the country. For example, from 10:00 am to 10 pm Business hours are decided by time.

However, it is considered to introduce a so-called "summer time system" in which the people live by advancing the domestic standard time by one hour only during the summer season.
If this "summer time system" is introduced, the opening and closing times of each game store will be set differently, and the business hours of the game store are expected to be extended by one hour. In, there will be a change in the living environment between the sales performed at the normal time and the sales performed at the summer time. For this reason, unless various data such as game data and sales data are managed during the summer time, it is impossible to provide a reasonable service to the player based on the business policy.

In particular, in recent gaming machines such as pachinko machines and pachislot machines, once a "big hit" state occurs, a large profit can be obtained in a short time, and further, this "big hit" state occurs twice. As a result, the game contents tend to be subject to drastic fluctuations in profits even for the player or the game store side, such as occurring three times in a row. Therefore, it is necessary to change the business policy even if the business hours of the amusement store are changed. In addition, even if the opening time of the game shop is changed, the number of players will be changed or the sales will be changed. Therefore, in order to operate the game shop rationally, it is necessary to manage the game shop corresponding to the introduction of the "summer time system".

Further, in recent years, various game continuation modes have been adopted by individual game stores because the game continuation mode relating to the presence or absence of purchase of a loan ball after the "big hit" has a great influence on the sales of the game store. I started. In this game continuation mode, for example, based on the symbol at the time of a big hit of the symbol display device provided in the gaming machine, after once exchanging the acquired ball, a new loan ball can be purchased and a re-game can be performed. The first game continuation mode that becomes possible and the replay can be performed using the winning prize balls as they are without exchanging the winning prize balls, and a specific symbol (so-called unlucky symbol) at the next jackpot.
The second game continuation mode that allows continuous games until is displayed, or without exchanging the winning prize balls until the store is closed, even if a specific symbol appears in the jackpot that occurs thereafter, continue to play games using the winning prize balls as they are throughout the day There is a so-called "lucky number business", such as the third game continuation mode that makes it possible.
In addition, in these game continuation modes, as a part of the service to the player, the above-mentioned second game continuation mode or third game continuation mode, etc. are allocated to the special business hours of the game store, and various There is also a desire to manage various service times.

Therefore, the present invention has been proposed in view of the above, and in the central management device of a game shop, the business hours of the game shop based on the domestic normal time and the domestic normal time are advanced by a predetermined time during the summer period. Allows the operating hours of the amusement store to be set for each mode, and allows the game data and sales data to be grasped and managed for each mode, and for the sake of the amusement store management, it is rational based on a detailed sales policy that matches the current trends for the players. The purpose is to enable service.

[0008]
