The invention described in claim 3 includes operation determining means for determining whether or not the gaming machine corresponding to the display means is in an operating state based on the game signal received by the receiving means, and the updating means comprises: In the case where it is determined by the operation determining means that the state is not in an operating state, the second point number stored in the point storage means corresponding to the gaming machine is shifted to the first point number.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the operation means accepts a table moving operation capable of specifying a gaming machine ID as a movement destination when a player who plays with a corresponding gaming machine wants to move the gaming machine, The update means includes: the point storage means corresponding to the game machine serving as the movement destination stores the second point number stored in the point storage means corresponding to the game machine that is the movement source when the operation means accepts the table movement operation. It is characterized by shifting to the second number of points to be stored.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the player performs an operation on the progress information displayed on the display means by the operation means, the number of points specified in the progress information is updated and displayed, and specified by the privilege information. Since it is configured to make the player recognize the threshold of the number of points and the number of points, a system that updates the number of points can be realized only after the player's own intention is intervened, and points are given By making the player fully understand this, the point service can be sufficiently appealed, and the conventional point system can be activated.

Further , when the point condition is satisfied by the game information played by the player, the first point number is cumulatively added, while when the player performs an operation on the progress information displayed by the display means, Since part or all of the first stored point number is transferred to the second point number, the first point reflecting the game information played by the player and the player receive the service. A point system in which the number of points of one type simply increases according to the game information played by the player by adopting two types of points that are different from the second point required for the game In comparison, the point system can be changed. In addition, some players are not interested in the point system, and some players are willing to save points, so players who are not interested in the point system and games that give up saving points. An increase in operation by a player who plays with the aim of the first point accumulated by the player can be expected.

According to the invention described in claim 2 , since the first point number stored in the display device corresponding to the gaming machine determined not to be in operation is displayed, the first point number is displayed. A player or point who is not interested in the point system can be made to recognize the first number of points accumulated by the player who has played with the game machine corresponding to the display device immediately before. It is possible to expect an increase in operation by the player who plays aiming at the first point accumulated by the player who has given up saving.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the second point number stored in the display device corresponding to the gaming machine determined not to be in operation is shifted to the first point number, the point system is interested. The second point accumulated by a player who does not have a point or a player who has given up collecting points can be shifted to the first point, and the player's desire to play the game can be encouraged.

According to the invention described in claim 4 , the point storage means corresponding to the game machine as the movement destination stores the second point number stored in the point storage means corresponding to the game machine as the movement source when the table movement operation is accepted. Since it is configured to shift to the second point number stored by the player, it is possible to increase convenience when a player who moves and plays a game uses the point system, and provides various services for the point system. Can do.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration of a game hall management system.

The pachinko gaming machine 1 may be configured to transmit an out signal instead of the out box transmitting an out signal, or the pachinko gaming machine 1 is replenished from a replenishing device provided corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1. A supply signal that can specify the number of game media may be used as a safe signal.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the display device 2 displays a status display lamp 6 that displays an operating state or an error state of the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1, a game data or various information of the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, from a liquid crystal display An information display unit 7 (display means, point display means in the present invention), a light receiving unit 8 that receives a remote control signal transmitted from an operation remote control carried by an employee, and a card into which a membership card issued by a game hall is inserted An insertion slot 9 and a card discharge button 10 for discharging the membership card are provided. On the screen of the information display unit 7, a touch panel switch 11 (operating means in the present invention) that can be operated by the player is formed.

  The membership card is issued to a player registered as a member of the pachinko hall, and the player who has become a member can receive various services by using the membership card. In order to register as a member, it is necessary to fill in the personal information such as name, age, gender, occupation and address on the prescribed application form and submit it to the pachinko hall. The information is stored in the management device 4 as information.

  FIG. 3 shows the electrical configuration of the display device 2 by combining functional blocks. The card reader 12 is installed in the display device 2 so as to correspond to the card insertion slot 9. The transmission / reception unit 13 (reception means in the present invention) transmits / receives various signals to / from the management device 4 and the pachinko gaming machine 1 through the relay device 3 and the LAN 5.

  The control unit 14 constitutes a microcomputer together with a CPU 15 (determination means, update means, display control means, operation determination means in the present invention), a ROM 16 storing a control program, a RAM 17 for a working area, and the like. The ROM 16 and the RAM 17 are a memory 18 (condition storage means and point storage means in the present invention) for storing various data. When the member card 19 is inserted into the card insertion slot 9, the CPU 15 records various data recorded on the member card 19 (member ID given to the member, effective date data indicating the card effective date). , Member store data specifying a pachinko hall as a game hall) is read by the card reader 12, and a player ID that can specify at least a member ID among the read data is sent from the transmission / reception unit 13 to the management device 4. Send it. Further, when the card discharge button 10 is operated in a state where the member card 19 is inserted into the card insertion slot 9, the CPU 15 causes the member card 19 to be discharged from the card insertion slot 9.

  The management device 4 stores setting information related to points by the point setting table shown in FIG. 4. When this setting information is updated, the updated setting information is displayed via the relay device 3 on the display device 2. Send to. In the point setting table, “point valid period” indicates a period during which points are valid, and indicates a period during which a so-called event is held. “Target information” indicates game information referred to for adding points. “Condition value” indicates a threshold for adding points to the target game information. “Granted points” indicates the number of provisional points to be added when the target game information satisfies a condition value. The “privilege value (threshold value of the second point number in the present invention)” indicates the threshold value of the present point number necessary for giving a privilege such as a prize. The “display period” indicates a period for displaying the progress information, which is a period during which the temporary points can be transferred to the present points.

That is, in the example shown in FIG. 4, during the period from December 6, 2007 to December 9, 2007, when the out ball reaches 3000 balls, 2 temporary points are given, and this point is 20 points. When you reach the point, you will receive a reward such as a prize. The period in which the progress information is Viewing is 3 minutes. On December 13, 2007, every time a big hit occurs, one temporary point is given, and when this point reaches 20 points, a privilege such as a prize is given. The period for displaying the progress information is a big hit. The temporary point and the present point are valid without being initialized even if the date is changed during the point valid period, but are initialized and invalidated when the point valid period has passed.

The display device 2 stores the point information storage table shown in FIG. 5 in the storage area. When the setting information is received from the management device 4, the display device 2 updates a part of the stored contents of the point information storage table. In the point information storage table, “target information”, “condition value”, “grant point”, “privilege value”, and “display period” indicate the same contents as the above point setting table and receive setting information from the management device 4 It is updated by doing. The “target value” is a value of target information in the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 and is initialized every time the condition value is reached. The “temporary point” corresponds to the first point in the present invention, and indicates a point that does not correspond to the table movement and is not collated with the privilege value. The “main point” corresponds to the second point in the present invention, corresponds to the table movement, and indicates a point to be checked against the privilege value. “Player ID” indicates a member ID recorded on the member card 19 received by the display device 2.

  When the management device 4 manages the member information using the member database and receives the point information from the display device 2, the management device 4 associates the member ID of the member database with the number of points specified by the received point information. The number of points is managed.

  Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. The display device 2 performs display device side point update processing, table movement source processing, table movement destination processing, operation determination processing, and membership card reception processing, and the management device 4 performs management device side point update processing. Hereinafter, these processes will be sequentially described.

(1) Display device side point update processing In the display device 2, when the display device side point update processing is started, the control unit 14 determines whether or not a target information signal is received from the pachinko gaming machine 1 side (S1). . The target information signal is a game signal corresponding to game information referred to for adding points, and is an out signal because the target information is set to “out” in this embodiment. When determining that the out signal has been received from the outbox (S1: YES), the control unit 14 updates the target value in the point information storage table (S2), and determines whether or not the updated target value has reached the condition value. If it is determined (S3) and it is determined that the updated target value has not reached the condition value (S3: NO), the display device side point update process is terminated and the process returns.

  When the control unit 14 determines that the updated target value has reached the condition value (S3: YES), the control unit 14 adds temporary points (S4) and initializes the target value (S5). In this embodiment, by adding “2”, which is a given point, to the provisional point, the number of provisional points is updated from “4” immediately before to “6”, and the target value is returned to “0”. Next, the control unit 14 starts displaying progress information (S6). In this embodiment, since the number of points is already “14”, as shown in FIG. 12, 14 squares from the first square to the 14th square out of the 20 squares from the first square to the 20th square (goal). Is displayed, and a notification message is displayed prompting the player to add points to transfer the temporary points to this point. Then, the control unit 14 determines whether or not a touch operation has been performed (S7), and determines whether or not the display period of the progress information has ended (S8).

  If the control unit 14 determines that the touch operation has been performed before the display period of the progress information is ended (S7: YES), the control unit 14 shifts the temporary point to the present point (S9), and displays the display information of the progress information. Update and display for 5 seconds (S10). In this embodiment, when the player touches the 15th square before the progress information display period has elapsed since the start of the progress information display, in this case, the temporary point number is set to “4” immediately before this. Since “6” is updated to “6”, 6 temporary points are transferred to this point. In addition, the control part 14 initializes a temporary point, when it transfers a temporary point to this point. In this embodiment, the number of temporary points is returned from “6” to “0”.

  Next, the control unit 14 determines whether or not the present point after the temporary point has been transferred has reached the privilege value (S11). When the control unit 14 determines that the point has reached the privilege value (S11: YES), the control unit 14 causes the management device 4 to transmit a privilege signal including the machine number information that can identify the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 ( S12), display of achievement information is started (S13), and this point is initialized (S14). In the present embodiment, since the temporary point of 6 points is transferred to the present point, this point has reached the privilege value “20”, so that the privilege signal is transmitted to the management device 4 as shown in FIG. Display the size of all the 20 squares from the 1st square to the 20th square (goal), display a notification message informing the player that this point has reached the privilege value, and change this point from “20” Return to “0”.

  Along with this, when receiving the privilege signal from the display device 2, the management device 4 specifies the machine number of the pachinko gaming machine 1 at which this point specified by the machine number information of the privilege signal has reached the privilege value. As shown in FIG. 14, a notification message informing the employee that the point has reached the privilege value at the identified number (in the present embodiment, number 1) is displayed on the display unit or broadcasted in the store. And encourage employees to reward the players who have achieved points. When the employee confirms that the player has achieved the points in this way, the player who has achieved the points goes to the pachinko machine 1 of the game number where the player plays and operates the operation remote controller to display a confirmation signal on the display device 2. Transmission is performed toward the light receiving unit 8. Then, when the control unit 14 determines that the confirmation signal transmitted from the operation remote controller carried by the employee is received by the light receiving unit 8 (S15: YES), the control unit 14 ends the display of the achievement information (S16), and the display device side End point update processing and return.

  In contrast, if the control unit 14 determines that the display period of the progress information has ended before the touch operation is performed (S8: YES), the touch operation is performed before the display period of the progress information ends. The temporary point is transferred to this point, but if it is determined that this point has not reached the privilege value (S11: NO), the display of the progress information is terminated (S17) and the above achievement information is displayed. Then, the display device side point update process is terminated and the process returns.

  That is, the player can move the temporary points accumulated at that time to the present point by performing a touch operation while the progress information is displayed, and when the point reaches the reward value, Can receive. By the way, the player may play the game by moving the pachinko gaming machine 1, and in this embodiment, the base movement source process and the base movement destination process are performed so that the player can cope with the base movement.

(2) Base movement source process When the base movement source process is started, the control unit 14 determines whether or not the destination machine number has been received in response to, for example, an employee operating the operation remote controller (S21), If it is determined that the destination machine number has been received (S21: YES), the pachinko machine 1 of the destination machine that has received the operation inquiry signal for asking the operating status of the pachinko machine 1 of the destination machine number. Is transmitted to the display device 2 corresponding to (S22). Then, the control unit 14 determines whether or not a non-operation signal or an operation signal is received from the display device 2 corresponding to the accepted pachinko gaming machine 1 of the movement destination (S23, 24). .

  Here, if the control unit 14 determines that a non-operation signal has been received from the display device 2 corresponding to the accepted pachinko gaming machine 1 of the destination (S23: YES), that is, the accepted destination pachinko. If the gaming machine 1 is non-operating and the player can move the table, the pachinko game of the destination number that has received the movement signal that can specify the number of points stored at that time It is transmitted to the display device 2 corresponding to the machine 1 (S25), this point is initialized (S26), the base movement source process is terminated, and the process returns. On the other hand, if the control unit 14 determines that the operating signal has been received (S24: YES), that is, the accepted pachinko gaming machine 1 as the moving destination is operating, and the player may move the table. If it is not possible, an error message is displayed (S27), the base movement source process is terminated, and the process returns.

(3) Base movement destination process When the base movement destination process is started, the control unit 14 determines whether or not an operation inquiry signal is received from another display device 2 (S31), that is, the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 Is determined as a destination. Here, if the control part 19 determines with having received the operation inquiry signal from another display apparatus 2 (S31: YES), it will determine whether the operation flag is set to "1" at that time (S32). ). When the control unit 14 determines that the operation flag is set to “1” (S32: YES), that is, when it is determined that the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 is in operation, an operation in-progress signal is requested. If it is determined that the operation flag is not set to “1” (S32: NO), that is, the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 is not in operation. If it is determined that there is a non-operation signal, the non-operation signal is transmitted to the display device 2 that is the transmission source of the operation inquiry signal (S34).

  Next, the control unit 19 determines whether or not a movement signal is received from the display device 2 that is the source of the operation inquiry signal (S35), and receives the movement signal from the display device 2 that is the source of the operation inquiry signal. If it is determined (S35: YES), the number of points specified by the received movement signal is added to the number of points stored at that time, the point is updated (S36), and the base movement destination process is performed. Exit and return.

  If the control unit 19 determines that the operation inquiry signal has not been received from another display device 2 (S31: NO), the operation inquiry signal is also transmitted in this case without causing the operation signal or the non-operation signal to be transmitted. It is determined whether or not a movement signal has been received from the display device 2 that is the transmission source of the device (S35), and if it is determined that the movement signal has been received from the display device 2 that is the transmission source of the operation inquiry signal (S35: YES), The number of points specified by the received movement signal is added to the number of points stored at that time, this point is updated (S36), the base movement destination process is terminated, and the process returns.

(4) Operation Determination Process When the operation determination process is started, the control unit 14 determines whether or not an out signal has been received from the outbox (S41). Here, if the control unit 14 determines that an out signal has not been received from the outbox (S41: NO), the control unit 14 determines whether a movement signal has been received from the display device 2 that is the source of the operation inquiry signal. (S42). Then, when determining that the movement signal is not received from the display device 2 that is the transmission source of the operation inquiry signal (S42: NO), the control unit 14 determines whether or not the operation flag is set to “1”. If it is determined that the operation flag is set to “1” (S43: YES), it is determined whether or not the operation timer has expired (S44).

  If the control unit 14 determines that the operation timer has expired (S44: YES), it sets the operation flag to “0” (S45), and shifts this point to a temporary point (S46), as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, display of waiting information is started (S47), a notification message for notifying the player of conditions necessary until temporary points are generated is displayed, the operation determination process is terminated, and the process returns.

  On the other hand, when determining that the out signal has been received from the outbox (S41: YES), the control unit 14 determines whether or not the operation flag is set to “0” (S48). Next, when it is determined that the operation flag is set to “0” (S48: YES), the control unit 14 ends the display of the waiting information (S49), and sets the operation flag to “1” (S50). ), The operation timer is started (S51).

  That is, when the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 is in a non-operating state, the display device 2 displays the waiting information, thereby notifying the player of the status of the temporary points of the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1. The player who is looking for the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be played from now on can select the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be played using the waiting information displayed on the display device 2 as one guide.

(5) Member Card Acceptance Processing When the member card acceptance processing is started, the control unit 14 determines whether or not a member card has been accepted (S61), and determines that the member card has been accepted (S61: YES). A point inquiry signal that can specify the member ID of the card is transmitted to the management device 4 (S62), and it is determined whether or not the member point information is received from the management device 4 (S63). Here, if the control part 14 determines with having received member point information from the management apparatus 4 (S63: YES), it will update this point memorize | stored at that time with this point specified by the said member point information. (S64). Then, the control unit 14 determines whether or not the member card 19 has been discharged (S65), and if it is determined that the member card 19 has been discharged (S65), the latest book point stored at that time can be specified. Point information is transmitted to the management device 4 (S66), the point is initialized (S67), and the member card receiving process is terminated and the process returns.

(6) Point update process When starting the point update process, the management device 4 determines whether or not point inquiry information has been received from the display device 2 (S71). Here, if the management apparatus 4 determines that the point inquiry signal has been received from the display apparatus 2 (S71: YES), it determines whether or not the corresponding member's points are stored (S72), and the corresponding member's points are determined. If it determines with memorize | storing (S72: YES), the member point information which can specify the memorize | stored member's point will be transmitted to the display apparatus 2 (S73), and the member's point will be initialized (S74). ). Then, the management device 4 determines whether or not the point information has been received from the display device 2 (S75). If the management device 4 determines that the point information has been received from the display device 2 (S75: YES), the point of the corresponding member is determined. Update (S76), end the point update process and return.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the out ball, which is the target information, reaches 3000 balls, which is the condition value, in the display device 2, it is necessary to receive the number of points and the benefits accumulated up to that point. The display of progress information indicating the number of real points is started, and when the player performs an operation on the progress information, the temporary points accumulated up to that point are transferred to this point, and the number of points is updated and displayed. Since it is configured, it is possible to realize a system that updates the number of points only after the player's own intentions are intervened, and the point service is sufficiently provided by allowing the player to fully understand that points have been awarded Can appeal and activate a conventional point system.

  Further, by adopting two types of points, a temporary point reflecting the game information played by the player and a main point necessary for the player to receive a privilege, 1 is set according to the game information played by the player. Compared to a point system in which the number of points of a type increases simply, the point system can have a change. In addition, since some players are not interested in the point system, it is expected that the number of players who are not interested in the point system will be increased by the players who are aiming for the temporary points accumulated by the player. Can do.

  In addition, since the present point number stored in the display device 2 corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 that is not in operation is shifted to the temporary point number, the game is played on the pachinko gaming machine 1 corresponding to the display device 3 until immediately before that. The number of provisional points accumulated by the player who had been playing can be recognized by the player who is about to play, and the number of provisional points accumulated by a player who is not interested in the point system or a player who has given up collecting points This point can be transferred to the player, and the player's willingness to play the temporary point can be encouraged.

  Further, when the table moving operation is accepted, the number of points stored in the display device 2 corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the movement source is transferred to the number of points of the display device 2 corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the movement destination. Therefore, it is possible to improve convenience when a player who moves and plays a game uses the point system, and can provide various services for the point system.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
Target information includes: safe, the number of differences between safe and out, sales amount, sales balls-out balls + the number of balls indicated by safe balls, the number of starts (number of actuated items and start winnings) It's okay. In addition, when a large number of hits occur, the number of starts is 100 or less, or a combination of a plurality of game information may be added, and temporary points may be added when the number is less than a condition value.

When the jackpot is set as the display period, the progress information may be displayed only while the jackpot signal is being received. In that case, you may make it refer to a probability variation signal or a time-short signal.
The display device is not limited to displaying standby information, and the total number of temporary points may be aggregated and displayed for each island by a centralized display device such as a data robot, without presenting the number of temporary points for each display device. May be. In this case, it is possible to give the player the pleasure of searching for a display device on which the temporary points are hidden on the assumption that there are temporary points. In addition, temporary points and actual points may be displayed during the game.

  When the temporary point is transferred to the main point, only a part of the temporary point may be transferred to the main point (as a transfer point). In this case, it is possible to assume a configuration in which a transition value is separately provided as the transition condition and the progress information is displayed when the game information satisfies the transition value. In this case, it is desirable that the transition value is set to be sweeter for the player than the condition value. Note that it is desirable that the transition point be larger than the granted point. In this way, it is possible to defeat the player's actions aimed at the accumulated provisional points.

As the operation determination process, the operation status is specified by the out signal, but the start signal, the customer replacement signal from the employee's remote control, the receipt of the sales signal when the number of possessed balls exceeds the predetermined number, the discharge of the membership card, etc. A well-known customer change detection function may be employed.
A password may be input when the table is moved, and this point may not be transferred until the password is input at the destination.
When the membership card is detected in the operation determination process, this point may be transferred to a point corresponding to the member ID when the card is not in operation.
