Next, an admission fee received / received amount receiving process is performed (S2).
50). In the admission fee received amount receiving process, the game management device 3
5, from the entrance fee collecting machine 31 to the entrance fee collecting machine 3
1 receives the collected amount of the entrance fee collected. The entered amounts are added up and used as the entrance fee collection amount.

After receiving the above-mentioned mutual aid payment information, the deduction amount, and the entrance fee collection amount, a member store business index calculation process is performed (S260). The franchise store operating index calculated here is calculated by calculating the franchise store operating index = (the amount of mutual aid payment-the amount of deduction) / the amount of entrance fee collection and receipt.
Is calculated. The merchant operating index shows the ratio of the income and expenditure to the entrance fee.If the amount paid as mutual aid is large, a positive index is shown, and if the amount deducted from the player is larger, Indicates a negative index. In addition, in the case of plus, it is the case where the pay game hall 1 reduces the return rate to the player, and in the case of minus, the case where the pay game hall 1 increases the return rate to the player. Corresponding.

After calculating the member store business index after the business is over (S
270), a process of transmitting the calculated member store business index is performed (S280). The member store business index is transmitted to the game mutual aid center 23 via the communication line 25, and the S1
By the processing of 00, the received admission fee is calculated the next day. The next day's entrance fee is received by the above-described entrance fee reception process of S200, and is set as the next day's entrance fee.

The processing executed by the member terminal device 29 has been described above. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a mutual aid payment processing routine executed by the game management device 35. This mutual aid payment processing is started when the member card 61 or the guest card 63 is inserted into the card slot 81 of the mutual aid payment apparatus 33.

First, a card database input process is performed (S300). In this card database entry,
First, information stored in the card database 42 corresponding to the identification information read from the input member card 61 or guest card 63 is stored in the card management device 3.
8 is performed.

After inputting the information from the card database 42, it is determined whether or not the mutual aid has not been paid on the day based on the input information of the mutual aid received / received (S310). That is, it is determined whether the mutual aid has already been paid during the business hours of today. If the mutual aid has already been paid, this routine is temporarily terminated. Therefore, FIG.
In the mutual aid payment processing routine shown in (1), the same member card 61 or guest card 63 corresponds to the mutual aid payment processing only once a day. Illustration of a processing routine corresponding to a plurality of payments is omitted.

When it is determined that the mutual aid has not been paid on the day, the consumption amount is input on the day (S320), and it is determined whether the amount of the mutual aid has been exceeded (S330). The consumption amount on the day is calculated by a balance database process shown in FIG.
1 or corresponding to the identification information of the guest card 63.

The judgment that the amount paid for the mutual aid has been exceeded is as follows:
This is performed when the consumption amount on the day is larger than the mutual aid payment amount KP set in advance for each game management device 35.
Here, the mutual aid payment amount KP is from 20,000 yen to 40 yen.
About 000 yen is set in advance for each game management device 35.

If the mutual payment amount exceeds the payment amount, the payment amount is calculated (S340). In calculating the payment amount here, an upper limit is set. As the upper limit amount, the upper limit payment amount ULP set in advance for each game management device 35 is set. Here, from 20,000 yen to 4
0000 yen is set.

Accordingly, the payment amount is 0 yen and the cooperative payment amount KP while the consumption amount on the day is equal to or less than the cooperative payment amount KP.
Is exceeded, the surplus amount is paid, but if the amount exceeds the upper limit payment amount ULP, the upper limit payment amount ULP is calculated as the payment amount.

When the payment amount is calculated, the cooperative money is paid out (S350), and the cooperative money payment information is transmitted to the card management device 38 (S360). Payment of mutual aid,
This is performed by the mutual aid payment device 33 into which the member card 61 or the guest card 63 is inserted. This allows
A player whose consumption amount has increased on the day will be partially covered by the loss. Also, there is an upper limit on the amount of mutual aid payments, and it is not unlimited,
A certain prevention effect can be obtained for those who exploit the mutual aid.

By transmitting the mutual aid payment information, information such as “one payment of mutual aid ○ yen” is added to the information stored corresponding to the identification information of the card database 42. Therefore, depending on the mutual aid payment processing routine, the member card 61 used for the mutual aid payment,
Alternatively, the payment of the mutual aid today using the guest card 63 is not performed.

The balance database processing of FIG. 7 for providing the day's consumption amount information to S320 described above
5 continuously throughout the day. First, a card data table input process is performed (S400). In this card data table input process, information of the card data table 62 is input from the member card 61 loaded in the ball lending information unit 36, and information of the card data table 64 is input from the guest card 63. This processing is sequentially executed for all the ball lending information units 36 in the game room facility 3. Note that the same processing is performed on a rental medal information unit (not shown). Card data table 6
2 and 64 are the member card 61 or the guest card 6
3, a refundable amount described later, a total advance payment amount, and a total ball lending amount are configured as a set.

The input card data tables 62 and 6
The information of No. 4 is transmitted to the card database 42 by the card data updating process (S410). By this card data updating process, the card database 42
Is based on the information in the received card data table,
The card data table 44 is constructed for each identification information of the member card 61 or the guest card 63. The constructed card data table 44 is referred to when paying the mutual aid money.

After the updating of the card data, reading of the ball lending amount and reading of the number of pure prize balls (the number of safe balls−the number of out balls) are performed (S430). The ball lending amount is input from the ball lending information unit 36 in which the member card 61 or the guest card 63 is loaded. As a result, the total ball lending amount for each member card 61 or guest card 63 is calculated. The number of net prize balls is determined by the gaming machine information input unit 3 via the ball lending information unit 36.
4 and is calculated from the sum of the values obtained by subtracting the number of safe balls from the number of safe balls for a predetermined period. The number of net prize balls may be read from the hall management computer 12.

After inputting the number of net prize balls, a net prize ball number amount conversion process is performed (S440), and the day's consumption amount is calculated by subtracting the prize ball number amount from the ball lending amount (S440). (S450), a process of updating the card data table 44 stored in the card database 42 with the obtained consumption amount on the day is performed (S460).

The processing of S400 to S460 is performed for each piece of identification information of the member card 61 or the guest card 63. Thereby, the consumption amount on the day is calculated for each identification information of the member card 61 or the guest card 63, and the card data table 4 of the card database 42 is calculated.
4 and can be referred to as appropriate.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a card depositing process which is started every time the member card 61 or the guest card 63 is inserted into the card loading slot 98 of the depositing machine 95. First, a prepaid amount is input (S500). As the prepaid amount, the amount of cash inserted into the cash slot 97 is input.

Next, the total prepaid amount is calculated and stored (S510). Calculation of the total prepaid amount is a member card 6
1 or the card data table 6 of the guest card 63
This is calculated by reading the total prepaid amount stored in the total prepaid amount database 103 of 2, 64 and adding the prepaid amount read in S500. The storing process is to store the calculated total prepaid amount in the total prepaid amount database 1
This is carried out by replacing the total prepaid amount stored in the number 03. Note that the card data tables 62 and 64
Is updated in a state where predetermined security is ensured.

By the card deposit processing described above, it becomes possible to deposit the prepaid amount into the member card 61 or the guest card 63. With this, member card 6
1 or the guest card 63 can be loaded into a ball (medal) lending device (not shown), and a lending ball or a lending medal can be received for the prepaid amount.

FIG. 9 shows a card dispensing process executed by the loaded ball lending information unit 36 when a member card 61 or a guest card 63 is loaded in the ball lending information unit 36 of a ball lending device (not shown). It is a flowchart. First, ball lending amount input processing is performed (S
600). The ball lending amount is input in accordance with the ball lending operation by the ball lending device.

Next, a total ball lending amount calculation / storage process is performed (S610). The total ball lending amount is calculated by reading the total ball lending amount stored in the total ball lending amount database 105 in the card data tables 62 and 64 of the member card 61 or the guest card 63, and reading the ball lending read in S600. It is calculated by adding the amount of money. The storing process is performed by replacing the calculated total ball lending amount with the total ball lending amount stored in the total ball lending amount database 105. Updating of the information in the card data tables 62 and 64 is executed in a state where predetermined security is secured.

By the card dispensing process described above, it becomes possible to record the sum of the ball lending amounts on the member card 61 or the guest card 63. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a card refund process activated every time the member card 61 or the guest card 63 is inserted into the card loading port 98 of the deposit machine 95.

First, a refundable money amount is input (S70).
0). The refundable amount is calculated based on the refundable amount read from the refundable amount database 101 of the card data tables 62 and 64 of the member card 61 or the guest card 63, here, the total prepaid amount and the total ball lending amount. The value obtained by subtracting the total lending amount from the total advance payment amount is recorded as the refundable amount.

Next, a refund execution process is performed (S71).
0). In the refund execution process, the following process is performed.
First, the refundable amount is displayed on a refundable amount display (not shown) of the deposit machine 95. Next, the input of the refund amount from the refund amount input button (not shown) is read, and the cash dispense machine (not shown) discharges the cash of the refund amount.

After confirming the cash discharge, a refundable amount update process is performed (S720). The refundable amount updating process is performed by subtracting the refund amount from the total refundable amount stored in the refundable amount database 101 and replacing the deducted total refundable amount with the record in the refundable amount database 101. Further, the balance of the total prepaid amount database 103 is updated. Updating of the information in the card data tables 62 and 64 is executed in a state where predetermined security is secured.

By the above-described card refund process, it becomes possible to refund the prepaid amount prepaid to the member card 61 or the guest card 63. FIG. 11 shows a card depositing process of FIG. 8 described above by a control device (not shown) incorporated in the member card 61 or the guest card 63 or a control device (not shown) working in cooperation with the member card 61 or the guest card 63. Card withdrawal processing, FIG.
It is a flowchart of the card processing performed corresponding to each of the card refund processing of FIG.

In the card processing, S700 shown in FIG.
A refundable amount output process is performed in response to the refundable amount input process (S800). In the refundable amount output process, the refundable amount is read from the refundable amount database 101 and output to the deposit machine 95.

When the refundable amount update processing of S720 is executed, the refundable amount update data input processing inputs refundable amount update data (S810), and executes the refundable amount update processing (S820). In the refundable amount update process, the information stored in the refundable amount database 101 is actually updated. When the refundable amount is based on the total prepaid amount, a process of reducing and updating the total prepaid amount stored in the total prepaid amount database 103 is also executed. In other words, if all of the reduced refundable amount is based on the total prepayment amount, the total prepayment amount is reduced and updated by the reduced amount of the refundable amount.

When S510 shown in FIG. 8 is executed, a total prepaid amount output process is performed correspondingly (S83).
0). In the total prepaid amount output process, the total prepaid amount is read from the total prepaid amount database 103 and output to the deposit machine 95. After the output to the deposit machine 95, the update information of the total prepaid amount which is transmitted back is received in the total prepaid amount update data input processing (S840), and then the total prepaid amount update processing is executed (S850). In the total prepaid amount update process, information in the total prepaid amount database 103 is actually updated.

In response to the execution of the total ball lending amount calculation and storage process of S610 in FIG. 9, a total ball lending amount output process is performed (S860). In the total ball lending amount output process, a process of reading the total ball lending amount from the total ball lending amount database 105 and outputting it to a ball lending device (not shown) is performed.

Thereafter, the total ball lending amount update information returned in response thereto is input (S870), and the total ball lending amount update processing is executed (S880). In the total ball lending amount update processing, information in the total ball lending amount database 105 is actually updated. By the above card processing, the refundable amount database 101, the total prepaid amount database 103, and the total ball lending amount database 105 installed in the card data tables 62 and 64 of the member card 61 or the guest card 63 are updated in real time. It can be updated so that it always represents the current situation.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the prize ball prize exchange process executed by the game management device 35 every time the member card 61 or the guest card 63 is loaded into the prize exchange machine 14. First, a card database input process is performed (S900). In the card database input process,
The identification information is input from the member card 61 or the guest card 63, and the contents of the card data table 44 of the card database 42 stored corresponding to the identification information are input.

Next, the number of prize exchange balls is input (S91).
0) Then, the number of pure prize balls is input (S920). The number of prize exchange balls is a member card 61 or a guest card 63
From the prize number area 49. The number of pure prize balls is calculated by adding up the value obtained by subtracting the number of safe balls from the number of safe balls, and is stored in the card data tables 62 and 64 of the member card 61 or the guest card 63, Input is made from the card data tables 62 and 64.

After inputting the above data, it is next determined whether or not the number of net prize balls has reached the mutual aid upper limit specified amount KD (S93).
0). The mutual aid upper limit specified amount KD is a value that specifies the upper limit of the amount of money that a player can obtain as a prize.
~ 60000 yen is set. Mutual Aid Limit KD
Is determined by first converting the number of net prize balls into the amount of the prize and comparing it with the mutual aid upper limit prescribed amount KD. The conversion to the amount of the prize is based on the number of net prize balls and the lending ball rate (here, 4
Yen) and the cash exchange rate (here, 60%).

If the result of the above determination indicates that the number of net prize balls has reached the mutual aid upper limit specified amount KD, then the number of net prize ball balls exceeding the number of balls for the mutual aid upper limit specified amount KD from the number of prizes. Is subtracted (S940), and the next premium exchange process is performed (S950). The amount obtained by converting the number of balls deducted in S940 is the upper limit collection amount ULD (here, 3000).
0-60000 yen), the upper limit collection amount UL
D may be the limit of the deducted amount. By doing so, if the player wins a big win and obtains a victory exceeding the sum of the mutual aid upper limit specified amount KD and the upper limit collection amount ULD,
Since the amount of money that is exceeded can be received, the interest of the game is improved.

If the number of net prize balls has not reached the mutual aid upper limit specified amount KD, the process of S940 is not performed.
The next premium exchange process is performed (S950). The prize exchange process is performed by a prize exchange person at the game hall using the prize exchange machine 14. For example, a prize corresponding to the number of prize exchange balls read in S910 is handed to the player.

After the prize exchange, the deduction number is converted into a deduction amount (S960), and a process of transmitting the deduction amount is performed (S970). The process of converting the amount into the deduction amount is calculated by multiplying the deduction amount by the lending ball rate and the conversion rate. The deduction amount is stored in the affiliated terminal device 29 and, via the affiliated terminal device 29, the game mutual aid center 2
3 and is stored for each piece of identification information of the pay game hall 1.

By the prize ball prize exchange processing described above,
The amount by which the prize obtained by the player in the game exceeds the mutual aid upper limit specified amount KD can be subtracted from the premium exchange amount of the player, and collected at the game mutual aid center 23. FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a change in the next day entrance fee depending on the business state of the pay game hall 1.

FIG. 13 shows holes A, B, and C.
Is shown. In the hall A, the affiliated business index calculated by the processing of S260 is “0” with no excess or shortage.
, The hole B shows an example in which the affiliated business index is in the red “−1”, and the hole C shows an example in the case of the black “0.2”.

The state where there is no excess or deficiency indicates a state in which the compensation to the player by the mutual aid and the deduction by the deduction amount are the same, and the state in the red indicates the amount that the player has been compensated by the mutual aid. Therefore, the case where the amount deducted from the player's prize ball is larger, that is, the case where the player is conducting business that is pleased with by the player, and the black state is the amount of money that the player has been compensated by the mutual aid money. Is larger than the amount obtained by subtracting the prize balls of the player, that is, the case where the business is not good for the player.

[0106] In the case of Hall A, which operates without excess or deficiency, the next day's admission fee is basically unchanged, and is adjusted to the amount obtained by adding or reducing the fee correction. You. The charge correction is added by the processing of S120, and is a correction amount for preventing the balance of the entire game mutual aid system from being excessive or insufficient.

[0107] Hall B, which is operating in the red,
The next day's admission fee is reduced, and the effect of attracting customers is exhibited. The amount of reduction here is made larger as the deficit becomes larger, and the hardship of the bleeding deficit business is rewarded. In Hall C, which is operating in the black, the entrance fee will be increased the next day, and there will be a sense of resistance to entering the hall. The amount of increase here increases as the surplus increases, and the company is required to make a sales effort in return for over-profit.

As described with reference to FIG. 13, the business attitude of the hall appears as an increase or decrease in the admission fee on the next day.
When the business is delighted for the player, the admission fee on the next day is reduced, and both the game hall and the player have an effect of receiving profit. In addition, when the gaming arcade operates too profitably, the admission fee for the next day is increased and the number of gamers decreases, which has an effect of demanding the sales efforts of the gaming arcade.

[0109] The admission fee is used as a resource for setting the mutual aid payment amount KP to a value lower than the mutual aid upper limit prescribed amount KD. FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a business mode selected by each game arcade. As a business form, type A,
Types B, C, and D are shown.

The type A has a low maximum payment amount ULP of 20
2,000 yen, the amount of mutual aid payment KP is low 20,000 yen,
Mutual aid upper limit prescribed amount KD is 40000 yen, upper limit collected amount ULD
Is set at 30,000 yen. As a result, it is possible to provide a game in which the upper limit of the loss in the event of losing is relatively small, and a modest profit can be obtained in the event of winning.

Here, the upper limit payment amount ULP indicates the amount paid by the player without paying the mutual aid until the deficit of the player reaches this amount. The mutual aid payment amount KP indicates the upper limit of the amount to be paid as mutual aid to the player. Therefore, A
In the case of the type, there is no payment of mutual aid until the player's deficit is up to 20,000 yen, and the player's deficit is from 20,000 yen to 4
Up to 0000 yen, a mutual aid of 0 to 20,000 yen is paid. If the player's deficit exceeds 40000 yen,
The mutual aid is 20,000 yen.

The mutual aid upper limit prescribed amount KD indicates a tentative upper limit of the surplus of the player, and the upper limit collection amount ULD indicates the upper limit of the amount to be deducted from the surplus of the player. Therefore, in the case of type A,
If the surplus of the player is up to 40,000 yen, all the players take home and the surplus is fixed at 40,000 yen from 40,000 yen to 70,000 yen.If the surplus of the player exceeds 70,000 yen, 40,000 yen plus 70,000 yen The player will bring back the excess.

Type B has an upper limit payment amount ULP of 30
000 yen, 30,000 yen with a reasonable mutual aid payment KP
The mutual aid upper limit prescribed amount KD is set to a large amount of 60000 yen, and the upper limit collection amount ULD is set to 60000 yen. This allows
It is possible to provide a game in which the upper limit of the loss in the case of losing is moderate, and in the case of winning, the player can receive a large profit.

[0114] Type C has an upper limit payment amount ULP of 30
000 yen, 30,000 yen with a reasonable mutual aid payment KP
The mutual aid upper limit prescribed amount KD is set to an appropriate 30,000 yen, and the upper limit collection amount ULD is set to 30,000 yen. This allows
It is possible to provide a game in which the upper limit of the loss in the case of losing is moderate, and even if the player wins, a moderate profit can be obtained.

In the type D, the upper limit payment amount ULP is 50%, the mutual aid payment amount KP is low 20,000 yen, the mutual aid upper limit amount KD is low 20,000 yen, and the upper limit collection amount UL.
D is set to 50 percent. As a result, it is possible to provide a game in which the loss can be reduced, and if the player wins, a moderate profit can be obtained.

When the upper limit payment amount ULP is 50%, it means that half of the player's deficit is compensated. If the upper limit collection amount ULD is 50%, the surplus of the player is 200
This means that half of the amount exceeding 00 yen is deducted. FIG.
As described above, the upper limit payment amount ULP, the mutual aid payment amount KP, the mutual aid upper limit prescribed amount KD, and the upper limit collection amount ULD as described above.
Is appropriately set by the pay game hall 1, the gaming property of the pay game hall 1 can be made to have individuality, and differentiation from other game halls can be achieved.
