If the collation data is returned, a determination of YES is made in S14, the process proceeds to S15, the returned card information is collated with the card information recorded in the inserted point card 17, and S16 is performed. Thus, it is determined whether the two pieces of information match. If they do not match, the process proceeds to S46 shown in FIG. 9, but if they do match, the process proceeds to S17 to add points.

Next, in S18, the number of points to be added is displayed on the CRT 4, and in S19, the added points are the points prize exchange card 18
It is judged whether or not the predetermined value necessary for issuing is issued, and if it is judged that it has reached, the process proceeds to S36, but if it has not reached, the process proceeds to S20 and the current point is determined by the CRT 4. The display is advanced to S21, and the point data 25 of the inserted point card 17 is rewritten to the new current point data, and the point addition information which is the added point is transmitted to the data processor 8a. . Next, in S22, the above-mentioned S21
Accordingly, it is determined whether the card reader / writer 36 has finished writing the data. Card reader / writer 36
Is the point data 25 of the inserted point 17.
Is rewritten to the current point and the point addition date data 26 is rewritten to today's date. When the rewriting process is completed, the process proceeds to S23. In S23, it is determined whether or not the player has played the game data display device. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the operation unit 2 has been operated and the game data display operation signal has been input through the input circuit 34. And, if there is a game data display operation, Y
After the ES is determined, the process proceeds to S56 in FIG. On the other hand, if there is no game data display device, the process proceeds to S24, and the determination of S23 is repeated until a predetermined period has elapsed.

If it is determined in S24 that the predetermined period has elapsed, the process proceeds to S25. The discharge control of the point card is performed from S25, and when the discharge control is completed, a YES determination is made in S26 and the process proceeds to S27.
The operation of displaying the use end by the CRT 4 is performed.
Next, in S28, it is determined whether or not the card has been returned, and when the player has not pulled out the card from the card insertion slot 3, a NO determination is made and the process proceeds to S29 in which a predetermined period has elapsed. Whether or not it is determined, and the determination of S28 is continued until the predetermined period has elapsed. If the player pulls out the point card 17 from the card insertion slot 3 before the lapse of a predetermined period, the process proceeds to S33, and it is determined whether or not the next card is inserted. It is determined whether or not the period has elapsed, and the determination in S33 is continued until the predetermined period has elapsed. When the card is inserted, the process returns to S3, but when the card is not inserted within the predetermined period, the control ends.

On the other hand, if the player does not pull out the point card 17 from the card insertion slot 3 before it is determined in S29 that the predetermined period has passed, the process proceeds to S30, and the CRT 4 notifies the player that the card has been forgotten. Then, the process proceeds to S33, it is judged again whether the card has been returned,
Wait until the player pulls out the point card 17 from the card insertion slot 3. And at the stage of pulling out, proceed to S32,
The forgotten card removal notification is canceled and the process proceeds to S33. FIG. 9A is a program executed when it is determined in S12 that the point addition requirement is not satisfied. In S35, the point addition requirement non-attainment display is performed by the CRT 4, and the process proceeds to S36, and the card is displayed. It is determined whether or not the discharge operation is performed, and if not, the process proceeds to S37, it is determined whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed, and the determination of S36 is continued until the period elapses. Then, if the player operates the operation unit 2 within the predetermined period, the process proceeds to S55. On the other hand, if the card ejection operation is not performed within the predetermined period, the process proceeds to S26.

FIG. 9B shows a program executed when it is determined in S19 that the point after addition has reached the predetermined value. In S38, a notification that the point has reached the predetermined value is issued. Performed by CRT4, the process proceeds to S39, it is determined whether the player has operated the operation unit 2, and if not, the process proceeds to S40, it is determined whether a predetermined period has elapsed, and the predetermined period is S until it passes
The judgment of 39 is continued. If the operation is not performed before the predetermined period of time elapses, the point premium exchange card 18 is not issued and the above-mentioned S2 is performed.
0, but if an operation is performed, proceed to S41,
It is judged whether or not the operation is an operation for exchanging a prize. Then, if the operation is an operation for ejecting the point card, the process proceeds to S20 without issuing the point prize exchange card 18. On the other hand, when the operation is an operation for point reward exchange, the process proceeds to S42, and a display indicating that the point reward exchange is selected is displayed.
The process is performed by RT4, and the process proceeds to S43 to issue the point free gift exchange medium (the point free gift exchange card 18 or the point free gift exchange ticket 19). Then, in S44, it is judged whether or not the issuance is completed, and when completed, the process proceeds to S45, in which the data to be written in the inserted point card 17 is rewritten. This is because the point data used to issue the point free gift exchange card 18 needs to be subtracted because the point data has reached a predetermined value and the point free gift exchange card 18 has been issued using that point data. Thus, the subtraction update processing of the point data is performed. Then, the control proceeds to S20.

FIG. 9C shows a program executed when it is determined in S16 that the collation data do not match. In S46, the CRT 4 displays that the card data is abnormal. In S47, it is determined whether or not there is a card ejection operation. If not, the process proceeds to S48, in which it is determined whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed, and the determination in S47 is continued until the predetermined period has elapsed. . If the player performs a card ejection operation via the operation unit 2 before the predetermined period elapses, or if no operation is performed until the predetermined period elapses, the process proceeds to S25.

FIG. 9D shows a program executed when it is determined in S10 that the personal identification numbers do not match. In S49, the process of displaying the erroneously input personal identification number on the CRT 4 is executed. Then, the process proceeds to S50, it is determined whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed, and the process waits until the period elapses. Then, when the time has passed, the process proceeds to S51,
The CRT 4 again displays the input request for the personal identification number.
Then, the process proceeds to S52, it is determined whether or not the personal identification number is input, and the process waits until the input. Then, when there is an input, the process proceeds to S53, a collation operation of the password input again is performed, and it is determined in S54 whether or not they match, and if they do not match, the process returns to S25, where they match. If so, the process proceeds to S11. FIG.
(E) is a program that is executed when it is determined in S36 that the operation unit 2 has been operated.
Thus, it is determined whether or not it is a game data display operation. When the operation is not the game data display operation, the above S2

Next, in S57, it is determined whether or not all the game data transmitted from the data processor 8a has been received. If the reception is not completed, the process proceeds to S60, and it is determined whether or not the unreferenceable signal is received. If the reference impossible signal has not been received, it is considered that the game data is waiting to be received, and the process returns to S57. On the other hand, when the reference impossible signal is received, the process proceeds to S61 and the game data reference impossible display is made, and the display is continuously made until the ending operation is made at S59. On the other hand, the above S57
When it is determined that the reception of the game data is completed in S,
Proceeding to 58, the received game data is displayed on the data display unit 4. An example of this display is shown in FIG. Next, in S59, it is determined whether or not an ending operation has been performed. Then, the game data is continuously displayed until the ending operation is performed. On the other hand, if there is an end operation, the process proceeds to S25.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the control operation of the control circuit of the game data writer shown in FIG. S
A1 determines whether or not a card is inserted, and if not inserted, the control ends. When the card is inserted into the card insertion slot 15, the process proceeds to SA2, the card reader / writer 44 reads the recorded data of the card, and proceeds to SA3, where it is determined whether or not the inserted card is the target card. Done. If the inserted card is not the point card 17, the process proceeds to SA9, and card ejection control is performed, but if the inserted card is the point card 17, the process proceeds to SA4,
Processing for taking in game data sequentially sent from the gaming machine 12 is performed. As described above, this game data is sales data (amount of game media lent out such as ball lending), data on the number of big hits, number of game media hits, game time, customer win / loss data (for example, difference ball data). , Such as the number of rotations of the variable display device, which is data that changes sequentially when the player plays a game with the game machine 12, and the game data that changes sequentially from the game machine 12 to the game data writer 14
Is input to, and the processing of taking in the input game data is performed. In the game data writer,
A process of constantly updating to the latest game data is performed according to the taken game data.

Then, when the player finishes the game, the operation section 5
If the card ejection operation is performed through 9, the determination of YES is made by SA5, the process proceeds to SA6, the acquisition of the game data is ended, the process proceeds to SA7, the game data is totaled and written in the point card, A process of transmitting the aggregated game data to the point card processor 1 is performed. Next, at SA8, a process for clearing the loaded game data is performed. This is because the game data has already been written, so that the game data becomes unnecessary and the unnecessary game data is cleared.

Next, in SA9, the inserted point card 17 is controlled by operating the card reader / writer 36 to eject it, and in SA10, it is judged whether or not the card is completely ejected, and the operation is completed. Wait until you do. At the stage of completion, the process proceeds to SA11, and it is determined whether the card has been returned. If the player does not pull out the point card from the card insertion slot 14, SA12
Then, it is determined whether or not the predetermined period has elapsed, and the process waits until the predetermined period elapses. Then, if the player pulls out the point card 17 from the card insertion slot 15 before the lapse of a predetermined period, the determination of YES is made by SA11 and the control ends, but before the lapse of the predetermined period, the game is finished. If the person does not remove the loyalty card 17 from the card insertion slot 15, proceed to SA13, give a notice of forgetting to remove the card, proceed to SA14, determine whether the card has been returned again, and wait until the card is returned. To do. Then, if the player pulls out the point card 17 from the card insertion slot 15, the process proceeds to SA15, the card forgetting notification is released, and the control ends.

FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing the operation of the control circuit of the data processor shown in FIG. It is judged by SB1 whether or not the collation data request signal is transmitted from the point card processor 1, and if it is not transmitted, the process proceeds to SB6, where the game data and the card N are transmitted.
o. It is judged whether or not the data and the point addition information are transmitted from the point card processor 1, and if not, the process proceeds to SB9, and whether the game data request signal is transmitted from the point card processor 1 If it is judged whether or not it has not been transmitted, SB1
In step 4, it is determined whether or not the operation unit 50 has been operated. If not, the control ends as it is.

On the other hand, if the verification data request signal is transmitted from the point card processor 1 (see S13), S
A YES determination is made by B1 and the process proceeds to SB2, in which the card No. included in the collation data request signal transmitted.
A process for calling the personal data registered corresponding to the above and temporarily storing it in a predetermined area is performed, and the process proceeds to SB3, where the called personal data is returned to the point card processor 1. Then, the process proceeds to SB4, where it is determined whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed. When the predetermined period has elapsed, the process proceeds to SB5, where the process of clearing the personal data temporarily stored in the predetermined area is performed and the control ends. .

From the point card processor 1, the card N

(B)), processing for calling the point data for each store is performed. Next, the processing proceeds to SB8, in which personal data, totalized data, and point data for each store are calculated and stored. S
If the game data and the point addition information are transmitted by B6, it is necessary to update the already registered data according to the transmitted data.
It is done by 8. The point data for each store is the total data of points given to each game hall 6, and the central management unit 7 charges the game hall 6 a point addition fee according to the point data for each store.

When the game data request signal is transmitted from the point card processor 1, a determination of YES is made by SB9 and the process proceeds to SB10, where the member store code in the game data request signal and the data processor 8a are registered in advance. By referring to the member store code correspondence table that has been set, it is determined whether or not the member store can refer to the requested game data. If it is not the target game data referable store, the process proceeds to SB13, and after transmitting the reference impossible signal to the point card processor 1, the control ends. On the other hand, if the target game data referable store, proceed to SB11,
Processing for calling the corresponding game data is performed. Next SB
Then, the process proceeds to step 12, where the called game data is transmitted to the point card processor to which the game data request signal is transmitted, and the control ends.

If the operation unit 50 of the data processor 8a is operated, the determination of YES is made in SB14 and the process proceeds to SB15. At SB15, various processes according to the operation content are executed. For example, various forms shown in FIGS. 12 to 18 are output from the data output device 53. FIG. 12 shows an example of the information provided by the centralized management unit 7 in the gaming machine shown in FIG. 1 to the game hall 6. FIG. 12A shows the personal data of the customer. Customer's name, age, gender, number of visits, number of visits, point data, number of points reward exchanges, game time, game time by game console, investment amount, general prize exchange amount, special prize exchange amount, income and expenditure amount ， Information about visiting other stores is categorized and aggregated. The frequency of visits is how many times a week the store has visited, and the point data is classified and aggregated from the accumulated point data up to now and the point data in the current month. Further, the game time is calculated by accumulating the cumulative cumulative time so far and the average game time converted per week. In addition, the game time for each gaming machine is 4 for A, B, C, D for each type of gaming machine.
It is installed in the type game hall, and the cumulative total game time so far for each of those game models is totaled. The investment amount is
The total investment amount up to now and the average investment amount converted per week are aggregated. Further, the general prize exchange amount is calculated by summing the total amount exchanged for general prizes out of the prize exchange amount and the average amount of one exchange amount. In addition, the special prize exchange amount is calculated by summing the total amount of special prize exchanges exchanged for special prizes and the average amount of one exchange. The balance amount is the balance between the investment amount and the general prize exchange amount and the special prize exchange amount, and the total amount and the average amount are totaled.

FIG. 12 (b) shows aggregated data, in which the total number of visitors to the store, the average number of store visits, the total number of points added, and the number of exchanges of prizes are aggregated at a certain game hall. Then, as the aggregated data, aggregated data of the present month, aggregated data representing the aggregated data of the present month in a ratio compared to the previous month, and data represented in a ratio compared to the same month in the previous year are aggregated. The average visit frequency is the average number of visits per week. Note that the data shown in FIG. 12 may be aggregated for each game hall or may be aggregated for each predetermined affiliated store group. Further, the personal data of the other store, which is calculated based on the game results of the player in the other store, may be provided to the game hall 6.

FIG. 13 shows an example of an output form different from that of FIG. 12 regarding the customer's personal data provided to the game hall 6 by the centralized management unit 7 in the gaming machine shown in FIG. That is, the card number of the point card 17 For each item, the aggregated result of the investment amount, the general prize exchange amount, the special prize exchange amount, the number of big hits, and the member store code are output in order of date. The investment is the amount of money invested in the game on that day, and the amount of exchange is the amount of exchange of premiums. The amount of investment is classified into general exchange amount and special exchange amount and totaled. The number of big hits is the number of big hits in the gaming machine, and the member store code is the member store code of the used game arcade. In addition, "-" in the data indicates that the data does not exist, and indicates that the game hall was not used for the day. FIG.
In the personal data shown in FIG. 3, the cumulative total for November is displayed in the total column. In addition, the cumulative total B
And the cumulative value C of the special gift exchange amount are subtracted from the cumulative value A of the investment amount, and the balance amount is displayed.

As the personal data shown in FIG. 13, the card number. Each member store code may be aggregated and provided for each member store, and aggregated only for member stores that belong to a predetermined group, and the personal data thus aggregated is a member that belongs to the predetermined group. It may be configured to be provided only to the store. FIG. 14 shows a further different example of the personal data provided by the centralized management unit 7 in the gaming machine shown in FIG. 1 to the game hall 6. This information is also provided to each player according to the operation of the point card processor 1.

In this personal data, the operation history of the game machine for one day is displayed over time for each machine number of the game machine installed in the game hall, and the period during which the player has played the game on the game machine. Is the point card of the point card. It is displayed every time. In the figure, November 3 indicates the date of occurrence of data, N
o. Reference numeral 115 indicates the machine number of the gaming machine, and model A indicates the model of the gaming machine with the machine number 115. That is, this data is the operation history of the gaming machine A with the unit number 115 on November 3. In addition, the card No. Is the card number of the point card to be displayed during the game period on the gaming machine. The member store code indicates the member store code of the game arcade where the gaming machine is installed.

In the column of the number of big hits corresponding to the time 10:40, it is shown that the first big hit has occurred at 10:40 and the circle is marked.
This circle indicates the card number. A player who owns 0001 indicates that the first big hit occurs at 10:40. Then, in the column of the number of big hits corresponding to the time 14:30, it is shown that the seventh big hit occurs at the game machine at 14:30, and the card No. 0001
It is indicated by a circle that it is the last big hit by the game of the player who possesses. That is, 10:40 to 1
Until 4:30, the card No. It is shown that a game is played by a player who possesses 0001. Therefore, the eighth big hit that occurred at 15:10 is due to the game of another player.

The investment amount indicates the investment amount invested in the game machine from the last big hit to the big hit. Therefore, at 14:30 the card number. After the player of 0001 finishes the game, the card No. The investment amounts of new players of different types are displayed. In addition, 11: 53-1
During 2:45, the investment amount is shown as "-",
This means that no investment occurred during that time, indicating that the investment amount did not change. The number of revolutions is displayed corresponding to the number of big hits, and indicates the number of times the variable display device has performed variable display between the time when the big hit last time occurred and the time when the big hit occurred this time. Number of jackpots "2"
Corresponding to the number of revolutions displayed with "315"
The mark indicates that the second big hit was a big hit allowing the ball game. Here, the ball game is to use a game medium such as a pachinko ball, which is given to the player in accordance with the big hit, for the game as it is without once exchanging the prize. If the ball game is permitted, the player does not need to make new investment as long as he has a ball, and therefore the investment amount in the figure does not change as long as he has a ball during the ball game period. On the other hand, the X mark displayed together with the number of rotations "12" corresponding to the number "6" of big hits indicates that the sixth big hit was a big hit that prohibits the ball game. From the above history, it can be understood that the player has finished the game after exchanging the balls once at the end of the sixth big hit and after making the new big investment to reach the seventh big hit. Also, the investment amount invested by the player from the end of the sixth big hit to the seventh big hit is 1
It can be understood that it is 5000. Further, this investment amount may be cumulatively shown for each player, in which case it becomes easy to grasp the total investment amount for the number of big hits.

FIG. 15 is a bar graph showing the ratio of males and females of customers who visit a certain game arcade by age group. In the bar graph, the broken line part is a woman, and the part without a broken line is a man. The overall male / female ratio in this amusement arcade is 74:26. FIG. 16 is aggregate data of an average game time and an average investment amount in a certain game arcade. For these data, the data for the current month, the data for the current month compared to the last month, and the data for the same month as last year are aggregated.

FIG. 17 shows the information provided to the game arcade by the gaming machine shown in FIG. 1, and the gaming time by age and gender of the customers who visit the game arcade is shown in the form of a bar graph. ing. For example, in the case of a customer in their thirties, the game time is 3.50 for men and 1.75 for women. FIG. 18 shows the information provided to the game arcade by the gaming machine shown in FIG. 1, and shows in a bar graph the investment amount by age and gender of the customers who visited the game arcade. is there. For example, in the case of a customer in their thirties, the price is 23 × 1000 yen for men and 12.5 × 1000 yen for women.

FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a display example of personal data provided to the player through the point card processor 1. The data shown in FIG. 19 is displayed on the data display unit 4 according to the operation of the operation unit 2 by the player. FIG.
(A) is a display example of the game data displayed on the data display unit 4, and particularly shows total data and monthly data, such as game time, investment amount, general prize exchange amount, special prize exchange amount, and balance. The amount of money and the number of jackpots are displayed as the total cumulative value and monthly cumulative value, respectively. Note that FIG.
The data shown in (a) may be displayed by specifying a game hall by the player's designation, or may be data that aggregates all the game halls used by the player. Further, the player may be allowed to arbitrarily select the counting period.

FIG. 19B shows a game history of one day in particular, and since the details of the data are the same as those described in FIG. 14, the description thereof will be omitted. The player can operate the operation unit 2 to select a date and a machine number and select required data. In this way, since the player's personal information is provided to the player himself, the player can easily analyze the contents of his or her own game, and this personal information can be utilized for future game plans etc. Becomes In addition, since information very valuable to the player is provided in this way, the player can be expected to use the point card 17 more actively for managing his own game history. In addition, if the point card 17 is illegally used for the purpose of obtaining point prizes, the game history of the player may be wrong, and thus the player may illegally use the point card 17 as much as possible. It can be prevented. Therefore, the player can collect the highly reliable game data promptly by actively and legally using the point card 17. In addition,
In accordance with the operation of the player, it is possible to similarly display the data other than the game hall where the point card processor 1 that is operating is installed. In this case, for example, it is conceivable that only the data relating to the chain stores in the same series as the game hall where the point card processor 1 that is operating is installed can be displayed. The data processor 8a determines whether or not the affiliated stores are in the same affiliated store based on a member store code correspondence table stored in advance in the data processor 8a installed in the centralized management unit 7. If it is not a store, a reference impossible signal is returned to the point card processor 1, and the fact that data reference is impossible is displayed on the data display unit 4.

Next, the characteristic points and modified examples of the above-described embodiment will be listed below. (1) In this embodiment, in order to collect game data without manpower, a card N that can identify a player
o. You are using a point card with recorded information.
By using this point card, aggregating game data without the need for time-consuming work such as asking the player who played the game for each name and inputting the data Is possible. Furthermore, the player who uses the point card is given a predetermined number of points, and the point reward is given to the player according to the number of points, so that the player can obtain the point reward. It can be expected to actively use the point card. As a result, it is possible to ask a player who has no direct interest in collecting game data to cooperate with collecting the game data of each player (customer unit), though it is indirectly, and to collect more game data for each customer. It becomes possible to collect the game data promptly. Furthermore, by not only using the collected game data exclusively for business management on the side of the game arcade, but also by disclosing a part of it to the game players, it is possible to improve the information provision service for the game players. To be That is, since the personal information as shown in FIG. 19 is available to the player, this kind of information can be effectively utilized in his or her own game plan. Also, since this type of personal information is provided by the data processor 8a of the centralized management unit 7 that centrally manages the game data of the entire system member store, the personal information regarding the game hall desired by the player can be stored in other than the game hall. It is also available at the amusement hall and becomes a more convenient gaming device. Further, since it is possible to set restrictions on the gaming halls where personal information can be obtained from a certain gaming hall using the member store code, for example, customer information within the same affiliated store can be obtained through the player's personal information obtaining operation. The inconvenience of leaking to another store can also be prevented.

As described above, since the player himself / herself can obtain his / her own personal information, it is possible for the player to directly cooperate in collecting the game information for each customer in order to utilize the information. This can be expected, and it can be expected that the game data can be collected more quickly than the points are given. Furthermore, unlike the point system, since the player uses the point card for the purpose of collecting information directly, there is also an advantage that illegal use of the point card can be naturally prevented. The property is improved.

A point card has been shown as an example of an information recording medium which is possessed by a player and which stores identification information capable of specifying the player. However, in order to collect game information for each customer. It is not always necessary to use this type of point card, which gives the player a privilege of points. For example, it may be a predetermined member card to which no points are given. This is because, even if no points are given, the player is expected to actively use such a member card so that his / her personal information can be collected.

Since it is possible to promptly collect game information for each customer without introducing the point system in this way, the point prize and the point system are compared with the case where the point system is introduced. It is also possible to reduce costs by eliminating the need for a complicated system. (2) FIG. 1 shows an example of personal information that can be obtained by the player.
Although total (monthly) data and daily data are shown in FIG. 9, other than this, for example, aggregate data other than personal data as shown in FIGS. 15 to 18 may be displayed. .

[Specific Example of Means for Solving the Problems] FIGS. 12 to 19
Various pieces of data shown in (1) constitute game information about the game of the player. The point card 17 constitutes an information recording medium, which is possessed by the player and which stores identification information capable of specifying the player. In addition, the card No. recorded on the point card 17 is displayed. The information for specification is constituted by. The card reader / writer 36 constitutes recording information reading means for reading the recording information on the information recording medium. The game data writer 14 and the point card processor 1 constitute a game information collecting means capable of collecting game information about the game of the player. A game information totaling unit is formed which can total the game information collected by the game information collecting unit for each player based on the specifying information read by the recorded information reading unit by the data processor 8a. The data display unit 4 of the point card processor 1 constitutes game information display means capable of displaying to the player the game information of the player specified by the specifying information collected by the game information means. . The display example shown in FIG. 19 configures the game information of the player specified by the specifying information.

Data display section 4 of point card processor 1
Thus, the game information display means installed in the game hall is configured. SB of the flowchart shown in FIG.
9 to SB12 constitute a gaming device capable of displaying to the player the game information of the player in another game place having a predetermined relationship with the game place where the game information display means is installed. There is.
