(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of a game hall system. In the game hall, corresponding to the slot machine 1 (corresponding to a gaming machine), a lending machine 2 and an information display device 3 (game information display device, game specifying means, notification specifying means, call specifying means, special state specifying means, notification information Identification means, special information identification means, management means, setting means, and extraction means) are installed, and a management device 4 is installed in the management room. The relay device 5 is connected to two slot machines 1, two lending machines 2, an information display device 3, and a management device 4 through a LAN 6. The management device 4 manages the game data of the slot machine 1 by receiving the game signal transmitted from the slot machine side (slot machine 1, lending machine 2, etc.) via the relay device 5. Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred slot machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 4.

  In the slot machine 1, a plurality of symbols are changed in accordance with a predetermined arrangement in a window portion 7 having a total of nine symbol display areas consisting of three rows of an upper row, a middle row, a lower row, a left row, a middle row, and a right row. Reels 8a to 8c to be displayed (corresponding to symbol variation display means), and a state in which medals (corresponding to game media) are inserted (BET) from the insertion slot 9 (normally 3 BETs and 2 bonuses) Yes, all of them are fixed), and a stop lever operated by the player to stop the symbol change display by the start lever 10 (corresponding to the start operation means) and the reels 8a to 8c operated by the player to start the game. When the buttons 11a to 11c (corresponding to the stop operation means) and the bonus combination (BB combination, RB combination) are elected internally, they are lit or flashed to notify that (corresponding to special combination notification) Lamp 12 (notification And corresponds to the stage), the control unit (selecting means not shown, the display control unit, the winning determination device is configured to include a substantial) to special state generating means. In response to the operation of the start lever 10, the control device executes an internal lottery for determining an internal winning combination from a plurality of types including a small combination, and a stop provided corresponding to the reels 8a to 8c. When the buttons 11a to 11c are operated, the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is drawn within a predetermined drawing range (four symbols) and is stopped and displayed in the symbol display areas 7a to 7c. In this case, a bonus combination (corresponding to a special state combination) will be an internal winning combination until winning, while only a game won internally will be an internal winning combination except for the bonus combination. The notification lamp 12 lights up or flashes during the period from when the bonus combination becomes an internal winning combination until winning, but any part or all of the period may be used. You may alert | report during a period. It is determined whether or not a winning has occurred based on a combination of symbols stopped and displayed in each of the symbol display areas 7a to 7c. Pay medal (profit) to the player. When the display of the bonus symbol is stopped, a bonus (corresponding to a special state) is generated with an increased probability that the small role is won internally, and the bonus is terminated when a predetermined number of medals are paid out.

  2 shows the reel arrangement of the slot machine 1, FIG. 3 shows the winning combination, FIG. 4 shows the winning line, and FIG. 5 shows the internal winning table. As shown in FIG. 4, five pay lines 1 to 5 are set, and when the winning symbol shown in FIG. 3 is stopped on any of the pay lines (the winning combination is won), payout is performed. Bonus and small roles are set as winning combinations. As the bonus combination, a BB combination and an RB combination to be internally won are set with a probability of 1/256, and when those bonus combinations are won, bonuses in the BB state (equivalent to the special special state) and the RB state are respectively set. In the case of a bonus, the winning rate of 5 winning combinations will increase, and if the internal winning is won, 15 will be paid out. The BB state is terminated by paying out more than 300 medals, and the RB state is terminated by 8 winnings. For small roles, there are 7 winning combinations with a probability of 1/8, 5 winning roles with an internal winning probability of 1/16, 2 winning roles with an internal winning probability of 1/100, and 1 / 7.3. A replay combination for internal winning is set with the probability of, and when the replay combination wins, a re-game can be performed without inserting medals, and when a non-replay combination wins, a corresponding number of medals are paid out. That is, when a small combination wins, it operates as a profit granting means for granting a player a medal corresponding to the small combination and a right (profit) of re-game.

  The slot machine 1 is provided with setting values (1 to 6) corresponding to a plurality of stages of the payout rate, and is set so as to be advantageous to the player, for example, the bonus winning probability increases as the setting value increases. ing. As described above, the slot machine 1 can change the internal lottery probability depending on whether or not the bonus is in effect. However, the number of games and the winning combination excluding the bonus combination during the period from when the bonus combination is won internally until the bonus is generated. Depending on the situation, the internal lottery probability is not affected.

The next game signal is output from the slot machine side.
Out signal = output from slot machine 1 Since the bet state medals are used (inserted) in response to the start operation, the number of bet medals (3) is pulse-outputted, so the number of out signals × 1 is out (the number of used media). In addition, the corresponding part is output at the time of replay.
Safe signal = output from slot machine 1 Since one pulse is output each time a medal is paid out, the number of safe signals × 1 is safe (the number of payout media). A bonus signal for outputting medals used in the game even when a replay winning combination is won.
BB and RB signals = output from slot machine 1 Since the level is output at the corresponding bonus (BB, RB), the signal reception period is specified as a bonus.
Sales signal = output from lending machine 2. Since one pulse is output for every five lent medals (equivalent to 100 yen), the number of sales signals × 100 is the sales amount.

  A game signal output from the slot machine 1 is output from an output means included in the slot machine 1. Note that a game signal that can specify that a game has been executed from the slot machine 1 and a small signal that can specify a small combination that has been determined to have won a prize are indirectly output by an out signal or a safe signal, as will be described later. Although it is configured by an out signal or a safe signal because a game or a small role can be specified, a game signal that can be directly specified may be output.

FIG. 10 is a front view of the information display device 3. The information display device 3 is provided with a call button 13, a data switching button group 14, and an information display unit 15 (corresponding to display means). FIG. 10 shows an example in which the information display unit 15 is switched to be described later, and a title display unit 15a, a small part winning display unit 15b, and a telop display unit 15c are displayed.
The information display device 3 includes a control unit (CPU), a storage unit (RAM, ROM, CF (compact flash (registered trademark))), and a transmission / reception unit (I / F) (not shown). It functions as a receiving means for receiving the game signal output from the slot machine 1.
The information display device 3 corresponds to the post-notification history setting shown in FIG. 6 via the management device 4, and corresponds to the call history shown in FIG. 7, the post-notification history shown in FIG. 8, and the notification call count shown in FIG. Each storage area is provided.
The “BB rate upper limit” and “BB rate lower limit” in the post-notification history setting in FIG. 6 are obtained by setting an upper limit and a lower limit for identification display in the alert call totalization of FIG. is there.

  On the other hand, a light sensor (not shown) is provided in the vicinity of the notification lamp 12 of the slot machine 1, and the information display device 3 detects a bonus internal winning notification (bonus notification) by the notification lamp when the light sensor senses it. , Corresponding to the special role notification), the bonus generation and termination and the type (BB or RB) are determined by the bonus signal.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
In addition to the normal display operation for displaying the game information of the corresponding slot machine 1, the information display device 3 executes a call history update process in connection with the present invention. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the call history update process. This call history update process is a process for obtaining the number of games from the bonus internal winning notification to the occurrence of the bonus and the subsequent bonus generation status. The information display device 3 determines whether the bonus notification is specified (A1). When the bonus is won internally in the slot machine 1, the notification lamp is turned on, and the optical sensor detects the bonus notification (A1: YES), so it is determined whether the game is specified (A2). . In other words, the game is executed when the out-count of the maximum BET number (three) of one game set separately, or when the out signal reception period elapses for a set time (for example, 30 seconds), or when the safe signal is received after receiving the out signal. It is determined that it has been executed. When a game is specified (A2: YES), a record is created in the call history of FIG. 7 (A3), and it is determined whether it is in a call state (A4). If it is not in the calling state (A4: NO), “x” is stored in “calling” of the latest record in the calling history (A6).

FIG. 7 shows a call history during a notification period from a game for which bonus notification is performed (hereinafter referred to as “notification G”) until a bonus is generated. In addition, what is necessary is just to provide one storage area as an actual storage area. NO. 1 corresponds to the first game (next to the notification G), and corresponds to the latest game in numerical order. That is, NO. Correspondingly, the call status corresponding to the pressing of the call button 13 during the notification period is stored in an identifiable manner. For example, NO. In 3, it is possible to specify whether or not a call is made after 3 games from the notification G. Note that the game in the notification period including the following is set as a storage target in FIG.
In the example shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 1A shows a state immediately after the end of the notification G, in which a small role history record is created and “x” is stored in “call”. The small game history record is created for the next game to the third game of the notification G, but the call button 13 is not depressed ((2), (3) in the figure).

When the call button 13 is pressed, the information display device 3 is displayed as shown in FIG. 11 and is in a calling state for calling a game hall staff. Note that the call state is also output to the management device 4, and the management device 4 displays and outputs sound (in-store broadcast), so that the game hall attendant goes to the slot machine 1 in the call state. Then, a so-called push service for performing a stop operation for aligning the bonus combination is performed, and the internally won bonus is won.
When the information display device 3 enters the calling state as described above (A4: YES), the information display device 3 records “◯” in the “calling” of the latest record. In the example shown in FIG. 7, when the call button 13 is pushed down in the fourth game, since it is in the calling state, “O” is recorded in “Calling” of the latest record ((4) in FIG. 7).
Then, during the 4-5 games, it shows the state that is still in the calling state ((5)-(6) in the figure), and after the game hall staff rushes and releases the calling state during the 6 games, This indicates that a BB has been generated by pressing and the call history has been updated ((7) in the figure).

  Here, since the bonus (BB) is generated (A7: YES), the information display device 3 stores the generated bonus in the latest record (A8), shifts and stores the call history to the post-notification history (A9), The call history is initialized (A10). Thus, the information display device 3 specifies the period from the time when the bonus notification is specified until the bonus is generated as the notification period, and the game information specified by the small role history in that period as the notification call information.

The post-notification history in FIG. 8 indicates post-notification history information (corresponding to special state information) in which the call history in FIG. In addition, NO. 1 is the latest and corresponds to past bonuses in numerical order.
The information display device 3 distributes and aggregates the post-notification history (bonus history) according to the number of post-notification games (hereinafter referred to as “G number after notification”) and the number of calling G specified by the post-notification history of FIG. Create a call summary.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of alert call tabulation (corresponding to special state tabulation information), and the alert call information is specified by distributing the number of histories for each “number of calls G” and “number of G after alert”. The “number of calls G” is the number of games in which the next game of the notification G is set to 1G and the game is in the call state (the call button 13 is pressed), and is specified as the call state when the next game of the notification G is specified. In other words, if the call state is reached before the next game is specified, “call 1G” is set. Further, if there is no calling state during the period from the notification G to the bonus winning, “no calling” is set. The post-notification history in FIG. 8 and the target period for the alert call summation in FIG. 9 are set to one week.

In the example shown in FIG. 9, for example, “1G after notification” of “call 1G”, that is, the game attendant is called in the next game of notification G, and the total of the history after notification of bonus winning in that game is 11 times. , Of which BB wins are counted once.
The “BB rate” (corresponding to the special species ratio) indicates the ratio of BB to the total bonus, and is calculated for each number of G after calling and for each number of calling G by BB ÷ total. For example, if 1G after notification of the call 1G, the total is 11 times and the BB is 1 time, so 9% is calculated by 11 ÷ 1.
8 and 9 can be displayed by the button operation of the information display device 3. When FIG. 9 is displayed, the BB rate belonging to the range corresponding to “BB rate upper limit” or “BB rate lower limit” in FIG. It is identified and displayed so that it can be specified. In FIG. 9, numerical values belonging to the upper limit of the BB rate are displayed in reverse video, and numerical values belonging to the lower limit of the BB rate are shown by left diagonal lines.

The information display device 3 switches and displays the total information in FIG. 9 corresponding to the current post-notification G number in the notification period in the game switching display. FIG. 10 shows a game switching display. The number of games (1G) after the notification G is displayed on the telop display portion 15c, and the next game is set as the current G, which is the starting point of the division. (Next G) The results of counting in FIG. 9 divided by two games and after (2G to) and when there is no call (no call), that is, the number of bonuses, the BB rate, and the like are displayed.
The player sees the display in FIG. 10, and since the BB rate when calling in the next game is high, the player thinks that he should call the next game if calling, while the BB rate when there is no calling Since it is lower than the BB rate when calling in the next game, it is considered better to call a game hall staff and win a bonus.

  The information display device 3 displays a call switching display when the call button 13 is pressed in the game switching display of FIG. FIG. 11 shows an example of call switching display when the call button 13 is pushed down in the next game (2G from the notification G) by the game switching display of FIG. The number of games (2G) at the time of the calling state is displayed on the telop display portion 15c. When the player sees this display and wins a bonus at the current G (current game), the BB rate is lower than when the bonus is won at the next G (next game). I will play while thinking about running G now. In FIG. 11, G is now the current game, so for example, the next G in FIG. 11 is the call 2G for the next call, and the next game after 2G, which is the current G, that is, the post-notification G is 3G. A certain BB rate or the like is extracted and displayed. This extraction method is the same in FIG. 10, but in FIG. 10, the game information in the “total” column is extracted without particularly specifying the number of Gs after notification.

According to such an embodiment, the information display device 3 can achieve the following effects.
Since the player is provided with game information indicating the subsequent jackpot status divided by the number of notification calls G in the notification period from the bonus internal winning to the bonus occurrence, the notification indicating the calling status after the internal winning notification is made. Bonus information and bonus-related information are displayed in association with the call information, and it is possible to provide game information suitable for a player who anticipates the occurrence of a bonus type or a humiliation state depending on the call status after the internal winning notification.
Since the game switching display of FIG. 10 and the call switching display of FIG. 11 are switched and displayed according to the number of notification calls G, according to the update of the notification call information during the notification period, according to the current notification call information. Past bonus-related information is displayed, and at that time, it is possible to support expectation such as the occurrence of bonuses in a timely manner.

  Since the BB rate and the like divided by the notified G number and the notified call G number in the notification call aggregation of FIG. 9 are managed and displayed, the game hall staff can be called at any timing after the internal winning notification, When a bonus combination is awarded after how many games have been executed, it is possible to provide an indicator that a bonus suitable for the player is generated.

(Second Embodiment)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, the number of winnings for each small role in the notification period is adopted as the notification information, and the information related to the occurrence status of the bonus that is the notification target of the internal winning is used as the special state (related) information. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the post-notification G number is adopted as the alert call information, and the information related to the occurrence status of the next bonus generated after the occurrence of the bonus subject to the alert is targeted as the special state (related) information. It is said.

The information display device 3 can set the post-notification G total setting shown in FIG. 13 via the management device 4, the bonus history shown in FIG. 14 (corresponding to special status information and notification information), and the bonus history shown in FIG. 15. Each storage area of total information, total information for each post-notification G number shown in FIG. 16 is provided.
The post-notification G total setting in FIG. 13 sets a setting value related to the game information in FIGS. “Number of consecutive home games G” (corresponding to the number of consecutive home games) in the post-notification G count setting is a set value for the post-end G number, which will be described later. The bonus is specified as a consecutive-village bonus (corresponding to a consecutive-village special state).
Further, in the post-notification G tabulation setting of FIG. 13, the upper limit and the lower limit for identifying and displaying in the post-notification G count total information of FIG. Each of the total average G numbers is set (corresponding to the extraction range). Then, when the value of each item is in excess of the upper limit or less than the lower limit in the post-notification aggregated information by G number in FIG. 16, it is identified and displayed so that it can be specified.

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing bonus history update processing by the information display device 3. The information display device 3 determines whether a game has been specified (B1), whether the notification flag is 0 (B5), whether the notification call flag is 1 (B8), or whether a bonus has occurred (B12). When the notification flag is 0 (B5: YES), when the bonus notification is specified (B6: YES), the notification flag and the notification call flag are set to 1 (B7). The notification flag indicates a period from when the bonus notification is detected until a bonus is generated, and the notification call flag indicates a period from when the bonus notification is detected to when a call state is set.

  The information display device 3 adds 1 to the number of G after the end of each game identification (B1: YES) (B2), while the notification flag is 1 (B3: YES), and therefore adds 1 to the number of G after notification. (B4). When the notification call flag is 1 (B8: YES) and the call state is set (B9: YES), the post-notification G number is specified as the notification call G number (B10), and the notification call flag is set to 0. (B11). When a bonus is generated by an operation by the called employee (B12: YES), since the notification call flag is 0 (B13: NO), the notification flag and the notification call flag are set to 0 (B15). . On the other hand, if the calling state is not set until the bonus is generated (B12: YES, B13: YES), the number of notification calls G is specified as no calling at the time of the bonus generation (B14), and then the notification flag and notification call are set. The flag is set to 0 (B15). Next, it is determined whether the number of Gs after the end is less than the number of consecutive resorts G in FIG. 13 (B16), and if it is less than the number of consecutive resorts G (B16: YES), the bonus is specified as a consecutive resort bonus (B17). ). At the same time, “Renso” in the bonus history of FIG. 14 is set to “◯”, and the type of bonus is stored in the bonus history of FIG. When the bonus ends (B18: YES), a record is created in the bonus history (B19).

FIG. 14 shows an example of a bonus history. In the bonus history, “occurrence time” is the occurrence time of the corresponding bonus, “type” is the type of the bonus that has occurred, and “renso” is whether the corresponding bonus is a consecutive-village bonus (renzo bonus = ○, Other than x). “G number after completion” is the number of games from the bonus immediately before the corresponding bonus to the corresponding bonus. The number of games since the record creation (bonus end), “G number after notification”, “G number of notification call G” "(Corresponding to the number of games after completion) is as described above.
Here, “average” of “G number after completion”, “G number after notification”, and “G number of notification call G” is a record average, and “total” indicates a record total. In addition, “total” of “renso” indicates the number of bonuses of the Renso.

The information display device 3 further calculates FIG. 14 to create a bonus history total.
FIG. 15 shows an example of a bonus history tabulation, in which bonuses are tabulated and classified into “renso” (renso bonus) and “general” for each type (BB or RB). Note that “total” is a bonus total that does not distinguish by type (all bonuses for BB and RB), and “total” is a total number of bonuses that do not distinguish whether it is a consecutive resort (all bonus targets including non-resort resorts). Yes, the same applies to the post-notification total information by G number in FIG. Further, when calculating the “BB rate”, “total” corresponds to the total number of occurrences, and when calculating “latency rate” described later, “total” corresponds to the total number of occurrences. All show all bonuses to be calculated.

“G number after completion” is totaled by classifying “general” and “renso” for each type of corresponding bonus. That is, for example, for “BB” and “Renso”, NO. As shown in 5, 7, 29, the G type is extracted and totaled only for the records whose “type” is BB and “renso” is ◯, and are counted.
“Rental villa rate” indicates the ratio of the consecutive villa bonus to the total bonus (renzo ÷ total) and is also tabulated for each type.
“Average G number” indicates the average of the G number after the end when the corresponding bonus occurs (G number after the end ÷ bonus). Yes.

The information display device 3 divides and aggregates the bonuses and the number of Gs after completion as shown in FIG. 15 according to the number of post-notification calls G for each record in FIG.
FIG. 16 is an example of aggregated information by the number of post-notification G numbers. The bonuses and the post-termination G numbers as shown in the bonus history of FIG. 14 and the bonus history of FIG. 15 are classified according to the number of notification calls G for each record of the bonus history. And then tabulate. In the first embodiment, the “BB rate” is a bonus that is targeted for notification of the internal winning combination in the notification G. In the second embodiment, the “BB rate” is generated after the bonus that is the notification target. Intended for bonuses. The period to be counted has been expanded from one business day to one month in the bonus history.
The information display device 3 records (NO.1, 7, 29) next to the record (NO.1, 7, 29) that is the number of notification calls G corresponding to the number of notification calls G (for example, 2G). 2, 8, 30) are extracted, and the bonus and the G number after the completion are totaled, and further, based on the bonus and the G number after the completion, the “recession rate” and “BB rate” are calculated in the same manner as in FIG. The “average number of G” is tabulated.

Here, the “ream rate”, the “BB rate”, and the “average number of G” are identified and displayed so as to specify whether they are over or under the upper limit or lower limit in FIG.
It should be noted that the difference between the “ream rate”, “BB rate”, and “average G number” in the “average” column and the “total” column at the bottom is that the average is the calculation of the average value for each number of notification calls G, and the total is This is because the calculation is based on the bonus and the total number of Gs after completion.
Also, the number of notification calls G may include the notification G and may be counted.
14 to 16 can be displayed by operating the data switching button 13 of the information display device 3.

According to the post-notification G-number total information in FIG. 16, it can be seen that when the number of notification calls G is 3G, the bonus range rate is high. 1 and 3G have a high rate of BB, and 2 and 3G have a high rate of RB. On the other hand, if there is no call or 4G, the rate is low. While calling with the number of notification calls G having a high consecutive rate, the call is not made with the number of notification calls G having a low continuous rate.
Paying attention to the BB rate, it is clear that the number of notification calls G is 1G, and the total is high in 2G, while the total is high in 2G, but the case where there is no call, and in 4G, the extended range & total is low. Call with reference to G number.
Referring to the average G number, the average G number in the case where the number of notification calls G is extended by the consecutive homes can be known, and the so-called humming target with a large number of games between bonuses can be found in total.
In summary, for example, if the number of Gs after notification is 2G, a player who places importance on the range rate or humiliation will try to call 3G with a high range rate and a low average G number. A player who places importance on the rate calls with 2G, which has a high BB rate.

  In addition, since such a totaling result including 1st Embodiment has no support | providing in specification, the place which depends on a player's assumption is large. In other words, the game information in the present invention is subject to tabulation of game information that is biased in aggregation but theoretically does not bias, so to verify whether the player's belief is correct or when selecting a gaming machine It becomes an index or the like for identifying a gaming machine having game information suitable for a player's belief, or for encouraging a player's belief during a game.

The information display device 3 switches and displays the total information of the number of notification calls G corresponding to the number of G specified for each game execution specification after the notification G.
FIG. 17 shows a notification G number switching display example. In the telop display portion 15c, the tabulated results (the consecutive villa rate and the BB rate) shown in FIG. 16 corresponding to the number of next notification calls G of the identified game are displayed. The player sees this display and calls the game hall staff in the current game (the number of notification calls G = 2G) with a low BB rate but a high BB rate, or the BB rate is low but the villa rate is high. Imagine whether or not to call in the next game, and then wonder if the decision was correct depending on the bonus winning status after that.

According to such an embodiment, the information display device 3 can achieve the following effects.
Since the bonus history shown in FIG. 14 is displayed, the bonus history generated by the player is based on the theory that he / she has generated based on the theory he / she assumes (the occurrence of the bonus depends on the alert call information). It is possible to specify whether or not the game machine matches the theory assumed by the player when selecting the game machine.
Since the average G number, the BB rate, and the extended game rate are displayed in association with the number of notification calls G in the post-informing G-number aggregated information in FIG. 16, the player assumes the bonus-related information. Whether the theory is valid or not, or the tendency according to the alert call information of the slot machine 1 can be grasped.
Since the identification display is performed in the aggregated information by G number after notification in FIG. 16, it is easy to specify notification call information in which bonus-related information is biased by the identification display.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
The first embodiment and the second embodiment may be combined. That is, the status of the BB rate after notification, such as the notification call totalization of FIG. 9, for each number of notification calls G is counted and displayed, or the following information such as the total information for each post-notification G number of FIG. You may manage the bonus resort rate, BB rate, average G number, and the like. Of course, the aggregations of the first embodiment and the second embodiment are overlapped and the aggregation results of both are displayed, or the BB rate similar to that of the first embodiment is aggregated by the aggregated information according to the number of G after notification. And so on. In this case, it can be assumed that the game switching display in FIG. 10 and the post-notification G number information display in FIG. 17 are displayed alternately or overlappingly depending on the game specification, but only one display may be used.

The number of notification calls G is exemplified as the game information indicating the call status. However, the time when the period from the internal winning notification to the call state is counted, or after the call state is canceled during the notification period, the call state is once released. In consideration of the case where the calling state is further changed, the number of times that the calling state is changed, the number of games and the time when the calling state is released are used as game information indicating the calling state, instead of or overlapping with the number of notification calls G The bonus notification may be specified by an optical sensor that may be managed, but the bonus notification may be specified by an internal winning signal or the like output from a gaming machine. Of course, the game is specified indirectly from the game signal as well, but any specific method may be used such as specifying the game signal that can be directly specified.

The total number of notification calls in FIG. 9 is calculated in units of the number of G after notification, and the number of post-notification G numbers in FIG. 16 is calculated in units of the number of notification calls G. However, it may be aggregated for each group.
The aggregated information for each post-notification G number in FIG. 16 is aggregated on the assumption of the bonus history aggregation in FIG. 15, but the post-end G number and bonus type are associated with the number of invocation calls G for each bonus without assuming the bonus history aggregation. If it is specified, it is possible to aggregate the aggregated information for each G number after the notification without assuming the bonus history aggregation.

The game switching display in FIG. 10, the call switching display in FIG. 11, and the post-notification G number information display in FIG. Of course, even if only one of them is the target of switching display, the display corresponding to the post-notification history of FIG. 8, the alert call summarization of FIG. 9, the bonus history of FIG. It is good also as an object of change indication. Further, as the switching display, not only the full screen is switched but also a display such as a pop-up display may be used.
Although management of game information is illustrated in units of gaming machines, management may be performed in units of the same game model. Further, a player ID that can identify a player during a game may be received to identify that the player is playing a game, and may be managed in units of players.

Although one business day (cumulative from the start of business), one week, and one month has been exemplified as the target period, any period may be defined as the target period. Moreover, the illustrated numerical values and items are all examples, and numerical values and items other than those illustrated may be adopted as appropriate, or the illustrated numerical values and items may be appropriately selected and employed.
The target gaming machine may be a gaming machine capable of generating a special gaming state such as a so-called AT state or RT state. In this case, the AT state and the RT state are also included as a bonus concept. Further, the type of bonus can be any one type or plural types.

  If the paging status can be specified by the gaming machine, it can be specified by receiving a signal to that effect from the gaming machine. Further, instead of specifying that the call state has been reached, it may be specified that the call state has been released, and the alert call information may be managed. In addition, some players continue the game during the waiting time until the game hall clerk rushes from the calling state, and win a bonus role by themselves. In this case, for example, authentication of the game hall clerk or The special status information and the like may be managed by being distinguished by identification by a camera or the like, but it is of course possible to manage without special identification or identification without performing such distinction.

  A part or all of the information processing performed by the information display device 3 may be performed by a relay device, a management device, or the like. Similarly, part of information processing performed by the management apparatus may be performed by the relay apparatus or the information display apparatus 3. Note that the information display device also includes a concept configured only by the management device by displaying information on the monitor of the management device. Moreover, although the game information display device separate from the gaming machine is illustrated, the gaming machine itself may be adopted as the game information display device. In this case, it is possible to directly specify game information such as a bonus notification, a game, and a call status according to the progress of the game instead of the game signal. Including this case, the call status may be specified by receiving a call signal from a so-called call lamp such as the information display device shown in the embodiment having a separate call function.

  In the drawings, 1 is a slot machine (game machine, lottery means, display control means, winning determination means, special state generating means), 3 is an information display device (game information display device, game specifying means, notification specifying means, call specifying means) , Special state identification means, notification information identification means, special information identification means, management means, setting means, extraction means), 8a to 8c are reels (design variation display means), 10 is a start lever (start operation means), 15 is An information display unit (corresponding to display means).
