Specifically, when the player is a member when counting with the ball counter 70 provided therewith, Insert the membership card into the card slot. The member card processing unit 84 checks whether the card is usable in the game hall and checks whether the data held by the card is damaged, and reads the member ID from the card when the check result is normal.

  The display operation unit 85 is a touch panel type liquid crystal display, and specifically, a user interface including an input device such as a touch panel and a display device such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) and an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). is there. When a counting process is performed by the ball counter 70, a notification screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed with a press of a counting start button or the like as a trigger, thereby prompting the player to insert a membership card. In addition, as a notification method, you may blink LED etc. besides a screen display.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the exchange receipt 200 issued from the receipt issuing unit 83.

  On the exchange receipt 200 shown in the figure, a game store name, barcode information 200-a, transaction information 200-b, and PR information 200-c are printed in order from the top.

  The barcode information 200-a is information obtained by converting the information having substantially the same contents as the transaction information 200-b described later into a barcode. The transaction information 200-b is printed with information such as the ticketing date and time, the receipt number consisting of the number and serial number of the ball counting machine, the type of game medium (pachinko ball / medal), and the count value. The PR information according to the member attribute information is printed on the PR information 200-c that is a feature of the present invention. In the PR information 200-c, a message held in the PR contents of the PR matter management database 21 described with reference to FIG. 3 is printed.

  In the exchange receipt 200 shown in FIG. 5, the case where only one piece of PR information is printed on the PR information 200-c has been described. A plurality of PR information may be printed.

  FIG. 6 is a sequence chart showing a flow of receipt issuing processing in the exchange receipt issuing system shown in FIG. Here, a case will be described in which a player who performs counting is a so-called member who owns a member card.

  In the figure, the ball counter 70 is on standby until the pachinko ball acquired by the player is inserted. Here, when a game store clerk or a player presses a counting start button or the like disposed on the ball counter 70 or a pachinko ball is inserted into the ball counter 70, the ball counter 70 counts. The processing is started and a count start notification is transmitted to the receipt issuing machine 80 (step S101).

  Upon receipt of this notification, the receipt issuing machine 80 displays the notification screen as shown in FIG. 4 on the display operation unit 85 in order to prompt the player to insert the membership card (step S102). This operation continues until a membership card is inserted or until transaction information is received from the ball counter 70.

  When the player sees this display and inserts the membership card (step S103), the receipt issuing machine 80 checks and reads the inserted card (step S104). As described above, a check is made as to whether or not the card is usable in the game hall and whether or not the data held by the card is damaged. When the check result is normal, the member ID is read from the card. Then, the read member ID is transmitted to the terminal controller 10.

  The terminal controller 10 that has received the member ID searches the member management database 20 using the member ID as a key, and extracts member attribute information from the corresponding record (step S106). That is, data such as name, gender, age, address, prize taste, etc. corresponding to the member ID are extracted.

  Subsequently, the terminal controller 10 searches the PR item management database 21 using the member attribute information extracted from the member management database 20 as a key, and extracts a record of a condition corresponding to the attribute information (step S107). Then, the PR contents are extracted from the corresponding record, and the PR information is transmitted to the receipt issuing machine 80 (step S108).

  On the other hand, in the ball counting machine 70, the counting process of the inserted pachinko balls is performed, and when the counting process is completed, the transaction information including the count value is transmitted to the receipt issuing machine 80 (step S105).

  The receipt issuing machine 80 adds the PR information received from the terminal controller 10 to the transaction information received from the ball counter 70 and issues a receipt. First, ticketing data is created from the received transaction information (ticketing date and time, receipt number, count value, etc.) (step S109), and then PR information is added to the ticketing data (step S110).

  In this way, the generated ticket issuing data is printed and a receipt is issued (step S111).

  As described above, in the present invention, using the member management database 20 and the PR matter management database 21 managed by the terminal controller 10, the PR information valid for the member is printed and issued on the exchange receipt including the transaction information. Because of this configuration, effective PR can be performed for members. For this reason, for example, it is possible to reduce advertising costs for DM for members.

  Next, a second embodiment in the gaming system having the basic configuration as shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

  In the first embodiment, a case has been described in which PR information corresponding to a member attribute is printed and issued to a player who is a so-called member who owns a membership card. In the second embodiment, An embodiment in which PR information is printed on a receipt regardless of whether it is a member or a non-member will be described. Note that the system configuration of the second embodiment is the same as that of FIG. 2 described in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  First, the PR matter management database 21 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the figure, an example of the configuration content of the PR matter management database 21 is shown.

  The PR item management database 21 manages PR information in a table, and stores various data such as “PR contents”... Corresponding to the “attribute condition” item.

  The “attribute condition” is an item for setting a condition for displaying the corresponding “PR content”. For example, “pachinko ball counter” is set. In this case, the ball counter 70 counts pachinko balls. If it is set, this “attribute condition” is met.

  For example, when the PR instruction information (for example, game medium type, game medium count value, time, day of week, etc.) is sent from the receipt issuing machine 80, the database management unit 11 sends the PR instruction information. The PR item management database 21 is scanned as a key, and if there is a corresponding record, the corresponding “PR content” is extracted, and the extracted PR content is returned to the receipt issuing machine 80 via the T / C communication unit 15. .

  Data stored in the PR item management database 21 is registered by inputting various data by a game hall manager or a store clerk using the display unit 13 and the operation unit 14. For example, registration processing can be performed with a simple operation by using a data registration wizard, a template, or the like.

  FIG. 8 is a sequence chart showing a flow of receipt issuing processing in the exchange receipt issuing system in the second embodiment. Here, a case where a member card is not inserted by a player who performs counting will be described.

  In the figure, the ball counter 70 is on standby until the pachinko ball acquired by the player is inserted. Here, when a game store clerk or a player presses a counting start button or the like disposed on the ball counter 70 or a pachinko ball is inserted into the ball counter 70, the ball counter 70 counts. While starting the processing, a count start notification is transmitted to the receipt issuing machine 80 (step S201).

  Upon receipt of this notification, the receipt issuing machine 80 displays a notification screen as shown in FIG. 4 on the display operation unit 85 in order to prompt insertion of the membership card (step S202). This operation is continued until the membership card is inserted or until transaction information is received from the ball counter 70 (if the player is not a member, the process proceeds to the next step without inserting the membership card).

  On the other hand, the counting process of the pachinko balls inserted by the ball counter 70 is performed, and when the counting process is completed, transaction information including the count value is transmitted to the receipt issuing machine 80 (step S203).

  Upon receipt of the transaction information from the ball counter 70, the receipt issuing machine 80 stops the screen display for prompting card insertion (step S204), and uses the transaction information received from the ball counter 70 as PR instruction information to the terminal controller 10. And send. This PR instruction information is a game medium type indicating whether the game medium counted by the ball counter 70 is a pachinko ball or a medal, or a game medium count value.

  The terminal controller 10 that has received the PR instruction information searches the PR item management database 21 using the PR instruction information as a key, and extracts a record of a condition corresponding to the instruction information (step S205). Then, PR contents are extracted from the corresponding record, and the PR information is transmitted to the receipt issuing machine 80 (step S206).

  The receipt issuing machine 80 adds the PR information received from the terminal controller 10 to the transaction information received from the ball counter 70 and issues a receipt. First, ticketing data is created from the received transaction information (ticketing date and time, receipt number, count value, etc.) (step S207), and then PR information is added to the ticketing data (step S208).

  In this way, the generated ticket issuing data is printed and a receipt is issued (step S209).

  As described above, in the second embodiment, since the PR information effective for the player is printed and issued on the exchange receipt including the transaction information, it can be issued to all players regardless of members or non-members. In contrast, effective PR can be performed.

  In the first and second embodiments, the embodiment in which the ball counting machine 70 and the receipt issuing machine 80 are separate devices has been described. However, the ball counting machine 70 and the receipt issuing machine 80 are integrated. You may comprise so that this invention may be applied and implemented to a ball counter.

In the exchange receipt issuing system described in the embodiments described above, Several other modified embodiments are listed below.

  a) The number of receipts to be issued is not limited to one, but if there is a lot of PR information, the receipt may be issued over a plurality of sheets or dedicated to PR information. Usually, since the receipt in which the transaction information is recorded is returned to the game hall when exchanging the prize at the prize corner, it is possible to cope with the case where the player wants to have a receipt in which the PR information is described.

  b) The membership card is usually a magnetic card, but is not limited to this and may be an IC card. In addition, if it is possible to confirm the identity by performing personal authentication using a mobile phone or biometrics, the member card may be substituted by such a method.

  c) By incorporating a face authentication camera in the receipt issuing machine 80, the rough gender and age of a player who does not have a membership card are identified, and PR information corresponding to gender and age is printed on the receipt based on the result. You may do it. In such a case, PR information corresponding to the player can be printed on the receipt for all the players (members and non-members), and the advertising effect is enhanced.

  d) The PR information may be displayed on the display of the mobile phone by printing a two-dimensional bar code separately from the bar code on which the transaction information is recorded, and reading it with a bar code reader provided in the mobile phone. . When a two-dimensional barcode is used, a large amount of information can be input regardless of the receipt paper. In addition, it can be used for events using the Internet.

  e) In addition to printing PR information on the receipt, the image may be printed on the receipt as PR information and issued by registering an image or the like.

  f) When a stored ball (medal) or the like is performed at the time of counting, a receipt printed with PR information may be issued and delivered at the prize management device 30 of the premium corner when the stored ball is deducted.

  g) The content for printing the PR information may be changed according to the range of the member NO. For example, from Member No .: 0001 to 0099, PR information such as during the 5th anniversary of member registration is being held and receipts are issued, and members with the last digit “3” For example, unlimited service for 3 days.

  h) By displaying a screen for selecting whether or not to print the PR information on the display unit of the receipt issuing machine 80, it may be possible to appropriately select whether to print or not.

  i) Instead of a replacement receipt (roll paper), a card with a display function that can be visually confirmed and can display PR information may be used. In this case, the present invention is applied not to the receipt issuing machine 80 but to the card issuing machine.

  j) When a recording medium having a large storage capacity such as an IC card is adopted as a member card, the member attribute information can be recorded on the member card itself. In that case, message information will be selected based on the member attribute read from the member card.

  k) A memory or a memory card storing the PR item management database 21 may be provided inside the receipt issuing machine 80. In that case, the database set on the terminal controller 10 side is stored in the memory or the like of the receipt issuing machine 80 via online communication or a storage medium. When receiving a receipt, it is not necessary to receive PR information from the terminal controller 10, so that a quick receipt can be issued.
