  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of a game hall device, a game hall system and a program according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the game hall system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a gaming machine 10 such as a pachinko machine 10a and a slot machine 10b, and a plurality of gaming hall devices.

For example, the gaming machine device may be a lending machine 20 that lends gaming media in exchange for cash input (banknotes) (20a for gaming balls, 20b for medals), stand computer 30, island computer 40, and each gaming machine. A hall computer 50 that counts game data, a member management device 60 that manages player (member) information, an information disclosure device 70 that outputs game data for each gaming machine 10 based on the operation of the player, and the like are provided. ing.
Each of these game hall devices includes communication means and is connected to be able to perform data communication via a predetermined network (for example, a local area network).

Here, the game hall to which the game hall system 1 is applied will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, a pachinko machine 10a and a slot machine 10b are installed in the game hall for each corner.
For example, the machine type corner where a plurality of gaming machines 10 having the same model name are arranged to form one group, and the rental rate of gaming media lent in exchange for the insertion of cash into the lending machine 20a by corner There are corners (for example, a 1-yen corner and a 4-yen corner) according to the lending rate.

In such a game hall, the game hall system 1 operates as a game data totaling system.
Specifically, the operation of the gaming machine 10 such as an out signal, a safe signal, a special gaming state signal (big hit signal), a start signal (one game specific signal) and a rental signal output from the gaming machine 10 and the lending machine 20 The game signal is transmitted to the hall computer 50 via a relay information processing apparatus such as the stand computer 30 and the island computer 40.
The hall computer 50 totals various game information such as the number of jackpots, the probability of jackpot occurrence, the number of games, the base, the number of acquired game media for each gaming machine 10, for example, tabulates and manages the game data d1 shown in FIG. To do.

The game data d1 is composed of, for example, a gaming machine number, model name, difference ball data and the like that can identify each gaming machine 10 installed in the gaming hall.
The difference data is an example of acquired game medium information, and is data indicating the temporal transition of the difference (difference) between the number of safe signal inputs (safe number) and the number of out signal inputs (out number). .
This data consists of a certain time during operation and the difference at that time as a set of numerical data, and this set of numerical data accumulated over the operating time. And the change to at least one of the increase or the decrease of the game medium can be specified by the time series connection of the accumulated numerical data.
A graph of such time-series connections of accumulated numerical data is called actual data graphic information or slump graph.

In addition, the game hall system 1 of the present embodiment operates as a game information disclosure system.
Specifically, game information (including game data d1) stored and managed in the hall computer 50 can be disclosed via the information disclosure device 70.
The information disclosure apparatus 70 includes display means such as a liquid crystal display as information output means, and can browse game information of all the gaming machines 10 installed in the game hall via the display means. Hereinafter, the information disclosure apparatus 70 will be described.

The information disclosure device 70 is an example of a game field device according to the present invention, and is provided at an entrance of a game field or an island edge of a game machine island where the game machine 10 is installed, and outputs the game information in a visible manner. An information processing apparatus including output means.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the information disclosure apparatus 70 has a CPU 701, a ROM 702 that stores a predetermined control program, a RAM 703 that temporarily stores game information received from the hall computer 50, and a screen based on instructions from the CPU 701. A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) 704 that performs display control, a CGROM 705 that stores various image data, a VRAM 706 that temporarily stores image data, an LCD module 707 that displays image data such as game information, a hall computer 50, and the like An I / F 708 serving as an interface for performing data communication and a reader 709 that reads member information such as a card ID (identification information) from a member card (for example, an IC card) possessed by a player (member) are provided. .

  The LCD module 707 operates as first and second output means, and includes a touch panel that can accept the player's operation. By touching an operation area displayed on the panel, the GPU 704 and the CPU 701 perform this operation. When a touch operation on the area is detected and the finger is moved while being touched, the GPU 704 or the CPU 701 recognizes a graphic along the movement trajectory as drawing data.

  The information disclosure apparatus 70 configured as described above displays the following screen on the LCD module 707 based on the image data stored in the CGROM 705, the game information received from the hall computer 50, and the touch operation by the player or the like. Display.

For example, as a screen displayed on the LCD module 707, there is a pattern graphic information screen 707a on which a plurality of pattern graphic information p1 to p6 is displayed as shown in FIG.
The pattern graphic information p1 to p6 is image data stored in advance in the CGROM 705, and the game data d1 stored in the hall computer 50 is analyzed to determine whether the game medium increases or decreases to at least one of them. This is a fictitious slump graph schematically showing the differences classified into a plurality of patterns. These pattern graphic information p1 to p6 schematically show the increasing / decreasing tendency of the acquired game media (outing) from the past to the present, and do not show the expected increase / decrease behavior in the future. Absent. In addition, following the line (solid line) indicating the pattern graphic information p1 to p6, the behavior of increase / decrease in the amount of balls to be assumed in the future can be represented by a dotted line or a line that can be distinguished from other pattern graphic information.
From the pattern graphic information p1 to p6 displayed in this way, the player can select the pattern graphic information indicating the desired tendency to increase / decrease by touch operation. For example, when the pattern graphic information p6 is selected, A transition is made to the screen shown in FIG.

FIG. 4B is an actual data graphic information screen 707b displaying a plurality of actual data graphic information j1 to j6.
The actual data graphic information j1 to j6 is a slump graph representing a change to at least one of an increase or a decrease in game media obtained in the game in the gaming machine 10 installed in the game hall. The graphic information is drawn based on the game data d1 received from.
The actual data graphic information j1 to j6 displayed here is a mode of change to at least one of the increase or decrease of the game medium indicated by the pattern graphic information (p6) selected on the pattern graphic information screen 707a. And a slump graph of the gaming machine 10 in which the mode of change to at least one of the increase or decrease of the game media is similar.
Such slump graph extraction is performed as follows by the CPU 701 executing a program stored in the ROM 702.

The game data d1 is transmitted from the hall computer 50 at a predetermined timing, and is sequentially updated and stored in the RAM 703.
With the update of the RAM 703, the CPU 701 performs a process for obtaining the drawing configuration data necessary for drawing the slump graph for each gaming machine 10 from the game data d1.
For example, as the drawing configuration data, a linear straight line approximated from a group of difference ball data for each predetermined time zone is obtained. Further, the inclination is obtained from the linear straight line obtained for each time zone. In addition, when one of the slopes obtained in two consecutive time zones is negative and the other is positive, each time zone is further subdivided, and the inflection point where the difference ball turns from increasing to decreasing or decreasing to increasing Ask for.
The CPU 701 stores the inclination, the inflection point coordinates, and the number thus obtained in the RAM 703 for each gaming machine 10 as the drawing configuration data necessary for drawing the slump graph.
In addition, the ROM 702 stores in advance the inclination of the straight lines constituting the pattern graphic information p1 to p6, the coordinates and the number of inflection points, and the like as pattern graphic configuration data that can specify the respective pattern graphic information p1 to p6. .

  When any of the pattern graphic information p1 to p6 is selected on the pattern graphic information screen 707a, the CPU 701 acquires pattern graphic configuration data corresponding to the selected pattern graphic information p1 to p6 from the ROM 702, and this pattern graphic. A process of retrieving and extracting drawing configuration data similar to the configuration data from the drawing configuration data for each gaming machine 10 stored in the RAM 703 is executed.

For example, first, one drawing configuration data is acquired from the drawing configuration data for each gaming machine 10 stored in the RAM 703, and the components corresponding to the acquired drawing configuration data and the pattern corresponding to the selected pattern graphic information p6 are acquired. The components of the graphic configuration data are compared with each other.
Specifically, the inclination and the coordinates and number of inflection points in the same time zone are respectively compared.

Next, the CPU 701 operates as a determination unit and determines similarity.
The similarity is determined to be similar when a predetermined similarity determination condition provided for each of these components is satisfied, and is determined to be dissimilar when the conditions are not satisfied.
The similarity determination condition is a standard provided for each component such as a difference in inclination within ± X%, an inflection point coordinate difference within ± Y%, and an inflection point difference within ± Z%. ing.
This reference can be set and changed by a touch operation or the like. Thereby, the relaxation or strictness of the standard can be arbitrarily selected, and the number of drawing configuration data to be extracted can be adjusted.
Such comparison and similarity determination processing is performed on all the drawing configuration data for each gaming machine 10 stored in the RAM 703, and all similar drawing configuration data is extracted.

  The extracted drawing configuration data is converted into image data and developed on the VRAM 706. The GPU 704 transfers the development data to the LCD module 707, so that actual data graphic information j1 to j6 corresponding to this drawing configuration data is displayed. The At this time, a gaming machine number (No. 17 etc.) that can identify the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the drawing configuration data and a model name (aaa etc.) are displayed in the vicinity of the actual data graphic information j1 to j6, respectively. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4B, the actual data graphic information j1 to j6 similar to the selected pattern graphic information p6 is displayed.

In addition, the actual data graphic information j1 to j6 are classified and displayed by type using the occurrence probability of the special gaming state as a scale.
Each gaming machine 10 has a special gaming state (for example, jackpot) advantageous to the player, and the probability of occurrence is set for each model (name).
For example, the pachinko machine 10a is classified by type, such as a sweet digital type with a high probability and a small appearance, a max type with a low probability and a large appearance, and a middle type with a characteristic that is between the sweet digital type and the maximum type. The slot machine 10b is classified by type, such as an A type having only a bonus game and an AT type having an AT or ART game.
Therefore, the actual data graphic information j1 to j6 can be displayed in accordance with such type classification.
For example, the actual data graphic information screen 707b shown in FIG. 4B has a sweet digital type (j1, j2) at the top of the screen, a middle type (j3, j4) at the middle, and a max type (j5, j6) at the bottom. Actual data graphic information j1 to j6 of the pachinko machine 10a belonging to each is displayed. In this case, it is preferable to display the corresponding type name in the upper, middle, and lower stages.
In addition, the mode of dividing the type is not limited to the mode of dividing into upper, middle, and lower stages, and other modes such as surrounding the pachinko machine 10a belonging to each type with a predetermined frame or dividing the display screen may be adopted. You can also. Even in this case, it is preferable to display the corresponding type name for each frame or each display screen.
Thereby, the player can confirm whether or not the favorite type of gaming machine 10 is further present in the actual data graphic information j1 to j6 similar to the pattern graphic information p6 indicating the trend of increase / decrease in the number of favorite balls. it can.
Although not specifically shown, instead of selecting the pattern graphic information, information that can identify the gaming machine 10 such as the model name and the above type name can be input by a touch operation. It is also possible to directly display the actual data graphic information screen 707b shown in b). The actual data graphic information displayed at this time is actual data graphic information of the individual gaming machines 10 belonging to the model name and type, and does not have a similar relationship.
The player can select favorite actual data graphic information from the displayed actual data graphic information j1 to j6 by a touch operation. For example, the actual data graphic information j6 (game machine number “ When “No. 3” and model name “fff”) are selected, a transition is made to the screen shown in FIG.

The screen shown in FIG. 4C is an actual data graphic information detail screen 707c that displays more detailed information of the selected actual data graphic information j6.
On the actual data graphic information detail screen 707c, the enlarged actual data graphic information s1 (output state change information of j6) obtained by enlarging the selected actual data graphic information j6 and the same model name as the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the information s1 are displayed. The actual data graphic information j7 to j10 of the other gaming machines 10 possessed, the map information m1 that can specify the position of the gaming machine 10 in the game hall corresponding to the information s1, and the like are displayed.
Further, when any of the actual data graphic information j7 to j10 is selected by a touch operation, an actual data graphic information detailed screen 707c corresponding to the selected actual data graphic information is displayed.

FIG. 4D is an actual data graphic information detail screen 707d that displays more detailed information on the selected actual data graphic information, as in FIG. 4C.
The actual data graphic information detail screen 707d displays, for example, a plurality of actual data graphic information of individual gaming machines 10 belonging to the same model name on the screen shown in FIG. This is a screen that is displayed when one piece of actual data graphic information is selected.
On the actual data graphic information detail screen 707d, the expanded actual data graphic information s1 obtained by enlarging the selected actual data graphic information, and the actual data of other gaming machines 10 having the same model name as the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the information s1. Graphic information j7 to j10, map information m1 that can specify the position in the game hall of the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the information s1, and actual data graphic information j11 to j14 of other gaming machines 10 similar to the information s1 are displayed. The
The actual data graphic information j11 to j14 of other gaming machines 10 similar to the information s1 is a process when transitioning from FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B and is similar to the selected pattern graphic information p6. This is actual data graphic information extracted in accordance with the processing for extracting the data graphic information j1 to j6.
When any one of these actual data graphic information j7 to j10 and j11 to j14 is selected by a touch operation, an actual data graphic information detailed screen 707c corresponding to the selected actual data graphic information is displayed.

As a screen displayed on the LCD module 707, there is a graphic information storage screen 707e for inquiring whether or not it is necessary to store the selected pattern graphic information, as shown in FIG.
The graphic information storage screen 707e is displayed at a predetermined timing after the desired pattern graphic information is selected on the pattern graphic information screen 707a shown in FIG.
On the graphic information storage screen 707e, the selected pattern graphic information p6 and “Yes” and “No” buttons for inquiring whether or not to save are displayed. When “Yes” is touched, the selected pattern graphic is displayed. Information p6 is stored as follows.

For example, when detecting the touch operation of the “Yes” button, the CPU 701 causes the LCD module 707 to display a screen that prompts the user to insert a membership card. Here, when the READER 709 reads the card ID from the member card by inserting the member card, the CPU 701 associates the read card ID (eg, “123”) with the selected pattern graphic information p6 and temporarily stores it in the RAM 706. Then, these are transmitted to the member management apparatus 60 as a set of information.
The member management device 60 is an information processing device that operates as an information storage unit and includes a storage unit such as a hard disk. For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the member management device 60 stores a card ID and pattern graphic information in association with each other. The pattern graphic information data d2 to be stored is stored, and when the card ID (for example, “123”) and the pattern graphic information p6 are received from the information disclosure device 70, they are stored as the pattern graphic information data d2. At this time, if the pattern graphic information corresponding to the received card ID is already stored, it is updated and stored in the newly received pattern graphic information.
As a result, favorite pattern graphic information is stored.

The pattern graphic information stored in this way is used as follows.
The pattern graphic information screen 707a shown in FIG. 4A requires a procedure of selecting desired pattern graphic information. However, the favorite pattern graphic information is generally determined and is not often changed. Then, for a player who has determined such favorite pattern graphic information, it is always time to force the player to display the pattern graphic information screen 707a and select the favorite pattern graphic information. It is useless and makes you feel bothered.
Therefore, by storing the pattern graphic information as described above, the insertion of the membership card allows the user to immediately display FIG. 4 (b) without going through the procedure of displaying the pattern graphic information screen 707a and selecting the desired pattern graphic information. The actual data graphic information screen 707b shown in FIG.

Specifically, for example, when a player inserts a membership card while a predetermined menu screen or the like is displayed, the CPU 701 transmits the card ID read from the membership card by the READER 709 to the membership management device 60.
The member management device 60 operates as an extraction unit, regards the transmission of the card ID as a reply request for the pattern graphic information corresponding to the card ID, and changes the pattern graphic information data d2 stored in the storage unit to the card ID. The corresponding pattern graphic information is searched and returned to the information disclosure apparatus 70.
Based on the returned pattern graphic information, the CPU 701 extracts real data graphic information similar (related) to the pattern graphic information, and displays an actual data graphic information screen 707b shown in FIG. Thereby, the procedure of displaying the pattern graphic information screen 707a and selecting the desired pattern graphic information is omitted, and the player is freed from the troublesomeness.
The pattern graphic information data d2 can be stored in the RAM 703 and other storage means (for example, an external hard disk) connected to the information disclosure device 70. In this case, instead of the member management device 60, The storage means can be operated as information storage means, and the CPU 701 can be operated as extraction means.
Also, when the information disclosure device 70 selects the model name and extracts the gaming machine 10, or when the gaming machine 10 is extracted by selecting the type of gaming machine, the information stored in association with the card ID is In addition to or instead of the pattern graphic information, the model name and type may be used. Thereby, by inserting the membership card, the model name and type associated with the card ID of the membership card are acquired, and the gaming machines 10 belonging to these categories can be extracted. The procedure can be omitted.

Further, instead of or in addition to the pattern graphic information screen 707a, a drawing data graphic information input screen 707f shown in FIG. 6A can be displayed.
On the drawing data graphic information input screen 707f, the player can draw desired drawing data graphic information (drawing slump graph) b1 on the LCD module 707 by a touch operation.
The drawing data graphic information b1 is handled in the same way as the pattern graphic information selected on the pattern graphic information screen 707a, and as shown in FIG. 6B, actual data graphic information j15 to j20 similar to the drawing data graphic information b1. Is extracted and the actual data graphic information screen 707g is displayed.
In this case, unlike the pattern graphic information, the drawing data graphic information b1 does not have the pattern graphic configuration data, and therefore it is necessary to obtain the pattern graphic configuration data from the drawing data graphic information b1.

For example, the coordinates and the number of inflection points where the difference ball turns from increasing to decreasing or decreasing to increasing are obtained from the drawing data graphic information b1, and then the inclination of the approximate linear straight line connecting the inflection points is obtained. As a result, the inclination, the coordinates and the number of inflection points can be obtained as components that can specify the drawing data graphic information b1.
Based on these components, similar actual data graphic information j15 to j20 can be extracted by the same process as when actual data graphic information is extracted from the pattern graphic information. The actual data graphic information screen 707g shown will be displayed.

Further, the player can select favorite actual data graphic information from the displayed actual data graphic information j15 to j20 by touch operation. For example, the actual data graphic information j20 (the gaming machine number “ When “No. 15” and model name “ddd”) are selected, a transition is made to the actual data graphic information detail screen 707c shown in FIG.
On the actual data graphic information detailed screen 707c, the enlarged actual data graphic information s2 obtained by enlarging the selected actual data graphic information j20 and other games having the same model name (ddd) as the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the information s2 are displayed. The actual data graphic information j21 to j24 of the machine 10 and the map information m2 that can specify the position in the game hall of the gaming machine 10 corresponding to the information s2 are displayed.
Further, when any of the actual data graphic information j21 to j24 is selected by a touch operation, an actual data graphic information detailed screen 707c corresponding to the selected actual data graphic information is displayed.

The screen displayed on the LCD module 707 includes an operation data display screen 707h on which a plurality of operation data graphic information k1 to k7 are displayed, as shown in FIG.
The operation data graphic information k1 to k7 is data indicating an operation state of the gaming machine 10 having a different gaming machine number or model (name). For example, the progress (horizontal axis) from the introduction date of the gaming machine 10 and the out The relationship with the number (vertical axis) is shown. The progress can be expressed in predetermined units such as hour, day, week, and month.
Such operation data graphic information k1 to k7 are graphs of operation numerical data aggregated and managed for each gaming machine 10 or model in the hall computer 50, similarly to the game data d1, and the operation is good or bad. It is used as an index when evaluating

For example, the operating data graphic information gaming machine 10 that shows a tendency for the number of outs to decrease greatly due to a short elapsed days or the like is evaluated as an unpopular model with a large decline in operation, and the decrease in the number of outs tends to be small with respect to the number of days elapsed. The game machine with the operation data graphic information showing is evaluated as a popular (excellent) model.
Such an evaluation can be performed while visually recognizing the operation data display screen 707h. However, when there are many operation data k1 to k7, it takes time to extract the operation data.
Therefore, the pattern graphic information p7 indicating the operation data graphic information pattern of the unpopular model and the pattern graphic information p8 indicating the operation data graphic information pattern of the popular model are stored in the CGROM 705 in advance, and these are stored in the pattern graphic information screen 707a. Alternatively, the game machine 10 having the operation data graphic information similar to the selected pattern graphic information p7 and p8 can be extracted by being displayed on an alternative screen.

The extraction of the operation data graphic information similar to the pattern graphic information p7 and p8 is a process at the time of transition from FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B, and the actual data graphic information similar to the selected pattern graphic information p6. This is performed in accordance with the processing for extracting j1 to j6.
In particular, in the extraction of operation data graphic information, the inclination of a straight line is more important than the coordinates and number of inflection points, and the inclination is predetermined even if the coordinates and number of inflection points do not satisfy a predetermined similarity determination condition. If the similarity determination condition is satisfied, it is determined that they are similar.
By such extraction processing, the operation data graphic information k1, k2 similar to the pattern graphic information p7 is selected as shown in FIG. 7B by selecting the pattern graphic information p7 indicating the operation data graphic information pattern of the unpopular model. As shown in FIG. 7C, the operation data figure similar to the pattern figure information p8 is obtained by selecting the pattern figure information p8 indicating the operation data figure information pattern of the popular model. The gaming machines 10 (or models) with the information k6 and k7 are extracted.

Such a popular model and an unpopular model can be extracted from the distribution of coordinate points without depending on the pattern graphic information p7 and p8 represented as line drawings.
For example, instead of the pattern graphic information p7, at least one of the coordinate points (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) on the pattern graphic information p7 is adopted as the similarity reference point. You can also.
By determining that the operation data graphic information passing through a point that approximates at least one of these coordinate points is similar, it is possible to extract the gaming machine 10 (or model) of the operation data graphic information k1 and k2.
In addition, extraction of such a popular model and an unpopular model can be used not only by a player but also by an administrator of a game hall. In addition, a screen that can be used only by a game hall administrator by restricting the use of the player can be used. In this case, the screen shown in FIG. 7 can be displayed only when a card dedicated to the administrator is inserted and the READER 709 reads a specific card ID.

  Also, in the combination of similar graphic information such as pattern graphic information and actual data graphic information extracted as similar to this, or actual data graphic information and actual data graphic information extracted as similar to this, As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, these graphic information can be displayed in a comparable manner.

The example shown in FIG. 9 is a frame advance screen showing a state in which each graphic information is drawn on the LCD module 707 according to the flow of time at the same speed. Each of FIGS. It shows how time advances as it goes to iii).
In each figure, a model-specific character corresponding to each piece of graphic information is represented at the tip (pen nib), which is the starting point for drawing, and an effect is shown as if the character is drawing.
By such a graphic display according to the same time flow, it is possible to identify a difference (level difference) in the difference ball (increase / decrease) with the transition of time indicated by each graphic information.
In addition, it is preferable that FIG. (A), (b) is displayed on the same screen so that the drawing process of each figure information can be compared.

The example shown in FIG. 10 is a screen display example in which similar graphic information is represented in a graph of the same scale, and (a) shows a model-specific character corresponding to each graphic information outside the graph. A screen display example, (b) is a screen display example in which characters are represented in a graph.
By expressing similar graphic information in a graph of the same scale in this way, a subtle difference (increase / decrease difference) in the difference ball can be easily identified.
Further, by causing the character to display an animation (for example, a battle effect), it is possible to show superiority such as which graphic information is more advantageous to the player.

  As described above, the information disclosure device 70 can output the actual data graphic information as the graphic information of the gaming machine 10 having a similar relationship with the pattern graphic information or the actual data graphic information selected by the touch operation.

  The characteristic operation of the information disclosure apparatus 70 described above is executed based on the flowchart shown in FIG. A program that can be executed by the CPU 701 of the information disclosure apparatus 70 is created based on this flowchart and stored in the ROM 702.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 11 shows the graphic information selection process executed when the transition from FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B, FIG. 4C, or FIG. 4D to FIG. Show.
In this process, first, it is determined whether any one pattern graphic information is selected on the pattern graphic information display screen 707a (S1). When any one of the pattern graphic information is not selected (S1-No), the presence / absence of the pattern graphic information stored in association with the card ID of the inserted member card is further determined (S2).
When there is no pattern graphic information stored in association with the card ID (S2-No), or when no member card is inserted, the process waits for selection of pattern graphic information (S1).
On the other hand, when any one of the pattern graphic information is selected (S1-Yes), or when there is pattern graphic information stored in association with the card ID of the inserted member card (S2-Yes). Then, a similar actual data search process for extracting actual data graphic information similar to the selected or stored pattern graphic information is executed (S3).

In the similar actual data search process, the pattern graphic configuration data corresponding to the pattern graphic information is compared with the actual data configuration data corresponding to the actual data graphic information, and the similarity is determined based on a predetermined similarity determination condition.
Then, an actual data graphic information screen 707b (see FIG. 4B) for displaying actual data graphic information corresponding to the actual data configuration data determined to be similar is output (S4).
Here, when favorite actual data graphic information is selected, an actual data graphic detailed information screen 707c shown in FIG. 4C is output.
On this actual data graphic detailed information screen 707c, dissimilar actual data graphic information j7 to j10 which are not similar to the displayed actual data graphic information s1 can be selected (S5).
If any one of the dissimilar actual data graphic information j7 to j10 is selected here (S5-Yes), the similar actual data search process is executed again (S3), which is similar to the dissimilar actual data graphic information. The actual data graphic information to be extracted is extracted, and for example, an actual data graphic information screen 707g shown in FIG. 6B is output.

After a display of the actual data graphic information screen 707b, the actual data graphic detailed information screen 707c, the actual data graphic information screen 707g, etc., when a predetermined time has elapsed, or when these screens are displayed, a predetermined touch operation (for example, return to the menu screen) When the operation is performed, a graphic information storage screen 707e shown in FIG. 5A is output.
In this graphic information storage screen 707e, it is inquired whether the pattern graphic information selected in S1 or the actual data graphic information newly selected in S5 needs to be stored, and when the “Yes” button is touched ( S6-Yes), a screen prompting the insertion of the membership card is displayed. Here, when the READER 709 reads the card ID from the membership card by inserting the membership card, the read card ID and the selected graphic information are stored. (S7).
When saving of actual data graphic information is requested instead of pattern graphic information, pattern graphic information similar to the actual data graphic information is saved.

  As described above, according to the game field device, the game field system, and the program of the present embodiment, the game data d1 having a tendency similar to the pattern, actual data, and drawing data graphic information selected by the player is shown. Since information on the gaming machine (for example, actual data graphic information) is output, convenience when finding a gaming machine that shows a favorite tendency to play is improved.

On the other hand, in a conventional game hall apparatus, a player's favorite gaming machine is specified and information related thereto is displayed. However, a player is interested in a slump graph that can identify a change in at least one of an increase or a decrease in game media that is a transition of the game from the past to the present, and such a slump graph. It was not possible to search for gaming machines with similar aspects. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to find a favorite gaming machine and the motivation for gaming cannot be increased.
In particular, there has been a demand for an amusement hall device that can select a favorite slump graph and search for gaming machines that show similar transitions in the game.
According to the game field device, the game field system, and the program according to the present embodiment, it is possible to solve all or a part of the problems to be improved by the conventional game field device.

  The preferred embodiments of the game field device, the game field system, and the program according to the present invention have been described above. However, the game field device, the game field system, and the program according to the present invention are limited to the above-described embodiments. Needless to say, various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.

For example, the game hall device is applied to the information disclosure device 70 provided at the entrance of the game hall or the island edge of the gaming machine island where the gaming machine 10 is installed. The present invention can also be applied to a game room device provided for each gaming machine 10 such as a monitor device provided, a calling lamp device that displays the number of jackpots, the number of games, and the like.
Further, in the present embodiment, when the favorite pattern graphic information is stored, the insertion of the membership card is requested, but it is also possible to request the input of identification information such as a password instead of or in addition to this. . It is preferable that the password input request is requested only when saving, and not requested when similar actual data graphic information is searched (extracted).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the actual data graphic information j1 to j6 are classified and displayed according to the type using the probability of occurrence of the special gaming state as a scale, but instead of or in addition to this, the extracted actual data It is also possible to display graphic information in descending order of similarity to the selected pattern graphic information (or actual data graphic information). That is, it is possible to rank the actual data graphic information extracted as being similar to the selected pattern graphic information (or actual data graphic information) in descending order of similarity, and display them in the ranking order.

  When selecting pattern, actual data, and drawing data graphic information, the type and model name can be added to the selection conditions. As a result, the extraction target is narrowed down when extracting similar real data graphic information, so when drawing configuration data similar to pattern graphic configuration data etc. is searched and extracted from multiple drawing configuration data The processing burden is reduced.

In addition, the drawing configuration data is obtained when drawing the actual data graphic information (slump graph) from the game data d1, but the method of drawing the actual data graphic information from the game data d1 is not limited to this. In addition, the drawing of actual data graphic information from the game data d1 is not performed by the information disclosure device 70, but is performed by other game hall devices (the hall computer 50, other information processing devices not shown), and the drawing data The actual data graphic information can be transmitted to the information disclosure apparatus 70.
In addition to drawing, the processing necessary for extracting similar actual data graphic information, such as determination of similarity, is performed on a game hall device (an information processing device not shown in FIG. 1) that constitutes the game hall system 1. Can also be dispersed.

  Further, the pattern, actual data, and drawing data graphic information are slump graphs in which the horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is a difference ball, and the time on the horizontal axis is preferably a predetermined period. During this period, the player or game hall administrator can change the setting from a unit of time, day, week, month, etc. to an arbitrary unit by a touch operation. The drawing data graphic information is unified to a scale having this period as a unit of the horizontal axis.

Further, in the present embodiment, the actual data graphic information is output as game machine information indicating the game data d1 having a tendency similar to the pattern, actual data, and drawing data graphic information. However, the game data d1 and other game information are output. Etc. can also be displayed.
In the present embodiment, the case where the game data d1 and the pattern, actual data, and drawing data graphic information selected by the player have a predetermined correspondence relationship has been described. When there is a similar or matching relationship, when there is a matching relationship, when there is a dissimilar relationship (for example, a relationship with an opposite trend, such as the relationship between p3 and p4 in FIG. But you can.

In the present embodiment, the game information output to the game hall device is a slump graph, but other game information can be output.
For example, various game information such as the number of occurrences of a special gaming state (big hit) for each gaming machine 10, the number of games between special gaming states, the probability of occurrence of a special gaming state, and the like can be output.

In addition, when outputting the occurrence probability of the special gaming state, not only the total probability obtained by dividing the number of occurrences of the special gaming state by the total number of games up to the present time, but also the game from the start of business to the first occurrence of the special gaming state The so-called first hit probability (hit probability), such as the reciprocal of the number, the reciprocal of the number of games between each special gaming state, or the quotient obtained by dividing the number of occurrences of the special gaming state by the total number of games between each special gaming state Can also be output.
This initial hit probability is configured to be updated and output in response to the occurrence of a special gaming state, so that even if the number of games is updated after the occurrence of a special gaming state, a new special gaming state does not occur. , Has the feature of not being updated.
Such characteristics can be specified from the following configurations.

  For example, the game number counting means for counting the number of games executed in a predetermined gaming machine, the specifying means for specifying that a predetermined hit state (special gaming state) has occurred in the gaming machine, and the specifying means For a game hall, comprising: a hit counting means for counting the number of occurrences of a hit state; and a calculation means for calculating the hit occurrence probability based on the counting results of the game count counting means and the hit count counting means The apparatus, wherein the game number counting means is capable of counting a first game number executed before the first hit occurrence and a second game number executed after the first hit is ended, The calculation means sets the occurrence probability at a predetermined time after the first hit occurrence to the first game count and the hit count occurrence count without using the second game count. Game arcade for apparatus characterized by calculated Zui.

The information disclosing device 70 of the present embodiment can receive game information related to individual gaming machines 10 such as the number of games and state information indicating the occurrence of a special game state from the hall computer 50, and can implement the above features. It has.
Specifically, the CPU 701 operates as a game number counting means, a specifying means, a winning number counting means, and a calculating means, so that even if the number of games is updated after the occurrence of a special gaming state, this is calculated as the first hit probability. In this case, it is possible to realize a feature that the initial hit probability is not updated and displayed unless a new special gaming state is generated.
Further, such an operation as each means may be performed by the control unit of the hall computer 50, and the information disclosure apparatus 70 may be configured to output only the initial hit probability as the calculation result.

Further, the above feature can be realized by a call lamp device 80 shown in FIG. 12 instead of or in addition to the information disclosure device 70.
The call lamp device 80 is provided for each gaming machine 10 and is a game hall device that constitutes the game hall system 1, and includes lamps L1 to L3 such as LEDs, a call button 81 that is operated when calling a store clerk, Display means (for example, LCD) 83 to 86 for displaying game information of the machine 10, a data switching button 82 for switching contents of game information to be displayed on the display means, and the like are provided.
For example, the display means 83 to 86 display the number of special prizes indicating the number of big hits of the day, the number of games from the start of business to the present, the total probability, the first hit probability, and the like.

  In such a configuration, the example shown in FIG. 12 will be described as a display example when a second big hit occurs when the number of games is 400 and then 20 games are advanced. The quotient “1/210” is obtained by dividing the number of times “2” by the number of games “420” up to the present, and the first hit probability is the number of jackpot times “20” without using the “20” game performed after 400 times. The quotient “1/200” is obtained by dividing “2” by the number of games “400” when the second big hit occurs.

Although the total probability is updated and displayed as “2/401”, “2/402”, “2/403”, etc. as the number of games increases by 1 after 400, The probability is displayed as “1/200” without changing even if the number of games increases by 1 after 400, and the value is updated when the third big hit occurs. .
By having such a difference, the role of each probability becomes clear.
In the example shown in FIG. 12, dedicated display means are provided for the total probability and the first hit probability. For example, the total probability and the first hit probability are obtained by operating the data switching button 82 with one probability display means. Each can be switched and displayed. In addition, the number of games is the number of games from the start of business to the present time, but can be switched to the number of games of jackpots by operating the data switching button 82.
