Hereinafter, a game execution situation of the "Great Parlor" which is a management simulation game executed by transmitting and receiving data between the user's mobile phone terminal 3 and the server computer 1 will be described.

First, when the user plays the pachinko game in the present embodiment, the portable telephone terminal 3
To access the top page of the server computer 1, the server computer 1 obtains the IP address assigned to the mobile phone terminal 3, and the data of the top page shown in FIG. The top page of FIG. 3 is displayed on the mobile phone terminal 3 by being transmitted to the address.

Here, when the user plays the game for the first time, the user selects and inputs No. 9 "My Menu Registration", and the selection causes the My Menu registration screen of FIG. 3 to be displayed. Select and enter "paid my menu" to display the initial setting screen.

When the user inputs and transmits a nickname and a mail address for identifying the user, the nickname and the mail address are transmitted to the server computer 1, and the user in the server computer 1 The transmitted nickname, mail address and the IP address are registered in the DB, a predetermined amount of money for playing the game is provided, and the provided money is also registered in association with the money.

"Great Parlor" which is a pachinko hall management simulation game in this embodiment.
Is configured as shown in FIG. 44, and manages a pachinko parlor as a virtual parlor using a mobile phone terminal 3 that can be connected to the Internet, as if a player runs an actual pachinko parlor. It is a network-compatible game that can be enjoyed, taking advantage of the unique features of the network and linking it to a completely different game to enjoy synergistic fun.

In the "great parlor" of this embodiment, an access person who is a manager of a pachinko parlor is required to select a table to be installed in the pachinko parlor, adjust nails, manage employees, and the like. It is said that it is possible for an accessor to create an original store, and to increase sales and business performance by winning the trust of other accessors who came to play at a pachinko parlor managed by the accessor.

When playing the "Great Parlor", the user may select "1. Great Parlor" from the top page of the server computer 1 shown in FIG. 3, and the selection overflows with originality as a pachinko parlor manager. In order to build a pachinko parlor, a screen provided with the following nine menus as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed.

First, the "status" indicating the fund of the player as the manager, the customer reliability, etc., the "in-store status" indicating the number of customers in the store managed and the number of installations, etc., and the actual management. “Changes” to replace pachinko machines and manage personnel at the time of the change, and “Items” to introduce peripheral equipment other than machines that can raise the profile of pachinko parlors to manage.
Research on pachinko parlors managed by pachinko parlors, for example, "advertisements" that let other players know that new palaces are being opened, and research on the status of pachinko parlors managed by other players and use them in the management of their own pachinko parlors A pachinko game where you can play “pachinko fever” and a pachinko game where you can actually play pachinko through a network at a pachinko parlor managed by another player and add the balance to your own pachinko parlor. You can browse the rankings of pachinko parlors managed by each player, such as sales and outgoing balls. "Premium exchange", which can be exchanged for various premiums, is prepared. The accessor selects the number to be operated and shifts to the screen of each menu. When the user inputs "0", the display returns to the top page.

First, the “status” will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, “play days” indicates the number of days that have elapsed since registration in the My Menu of the pachinko parlor managed by the accessor, and “funds”. Shows the current funding situation, "Today's customers" shows the number of customers for the day, "Breakout" shows the current balance figures, "Ranking" shows the pachinko parlor ranking from sales, "Customer reliability" indicates the reliability of the pachinko parlor from the customer, calculated based on the number of clerks and nail settings,
"Recognition" is represented by numerical values such as advertisements and customer reliability, which affects the number of customers.
It is configured to indicate the total number of balls that have been acquired by the accessor so far in the play of fever, which will be described later.

The "fund" is considered to be the sum of the income obtained from the pachinko parlors that the pachinko parlors manage. However, even if the operating status is in the red, the pachinko parlors will not go bankrupt due to the processing of the program.

"Today's visitor" fluctuates depending on the status. However, since the collection rate is also involved, it is not always a good state to have a large number of customers.

Further, “customer reliability” and “recognition” are:
Since it greatly affects the number of visitors, it is necessary to check the status frequently.

Next, the "in-store situation" will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the "current number of customers" indicates the current number of customers who have visited the store by a numerical value calculated from the customer reliability and the name recognition. In the "Big hit", the number of customers who fever is calculated based on the current number of customers and the setting of nails, and the numerical value is shown.The "Number of installed" indicates the number of pachinko machines installed in the store, and the "clerk" Shows the number of clerks, including managers, excluding the store manager.
The opening value of the nail is shown as a percentage, "See details of the table" allows you to check the type of table currently installed in the store, and "Response of customer" shows the message left by the visiting customer Can be browsed.

Regarding the number of “clerks”, if they are hired too much, the cost is increased and the balance is squeezed. If the number is less than necessary, the reliability of the service is reduced and the customer's reliability is lost.

Regarding the "state of the nail", 100
If the percentage is open, customers will be gathered, but the business condition will deteriorate, and if it is 0%, the jackpot will be reduced, but the number of customers will be reduced, so expenses will be increased.

At the time of "seeing the details of the table" or "seeing the customer's reaction", "viewing the details of the table" on the status screen in the store.
Alternatively, the user can select “Customer Response” and go to a screen where the status of the platform and the customer response are recorded and check each.

Regarding the “table details” displayed when the “view table details” is selected, a new model,
The greater the number of types, the higher the name recognition, but for the latest models, marketing research described below must be performed.

It should be noted that "customer response" is displayed up to 15 cases, and thereafter is displayed every 15 cases.

When changing the status of the store, the setting can be changed by "change" described later.

Next, "change" will be described.
As shown in the table, various settings related to the management of pachinko parlors can be changed, and by changing these settings the business situation improves or slumps, it is one of the important factors that affect these business conditions ing.

Items that can be changed on the "change" display screen include "adjustment of nails", "addition of a stand",
"Replacement of units", "addition of clerk", "expansion of store size", and "change of e-mail address of accessor" can be performed.

First, starting from "adjustment of the nail", the "adjustment of the nail" is selected from the change menu, and the screen shifts to the screen for the adjustment of the nail. On the nail adjustment screen, the current nail release rate is displayed.
Can vary between percent and 100 percent.

The degree of opening of these nails is reflected in the results of other players in "Pachi ni Fever" described later.
The higher the open rate, the more open the nails are, and the easier it is to acquire customers.However, if it is too sweet, management will be strict, and if it is too bitter, customers will not be able to come to the store. As required.

When the release rate of these nails is determined or changed, the selection of the nail adjustment screen is selected, and the screen shifts to the nail setting confirmation screen. You can also select Cancel and redo the nail adjustment. On the confirmation screen, a comment from the manager is displayed, and the numerical value of the set release rate can be confirmed. In addition, inputting on this screen returns to the change menu screen.

Next, a description will be given of "addition of a table". As shown in FIG. 7, "selection of a table" is selected from the change menu, and the screen shifts to a screen for adding a table. Next, the age is displayed. For example,
When a platform in 1996 is selected, a model that can be selected in 1996 is displayed in a pull-down menu. After selecting the platform, the platform is selected by determination.

The purchase of units can be performed in units of ten units. When the number of units to be purchased is selected from a pull-down menu, the number of units to be purchased and the purchase price are presented. If this number and amount are fine, choose to buy, and if you have enough funds,
When the purchase operation is completed and the funds are insufficient, a message indicating that the funds are insufficient is displayed from the manager. It should be noted that the user can return to the change menu by inputting 1 on this screen.

When the size of the store is small and there is not enough space to add a table, a message from the manager indicating that there is no space to install the table and a message prompting the user to expand the store or replace the table are displayed. . If you enter on this screen, you can return to the change menu.

As described above, the addition of a stand is directly related to the status of funds and the free space of the store.
Managers are alerted to lack of funds or space. Also, you can purchase
Although initially small, it may increase due to marketing research and the like described below.

Next, a description will be given of the "replacement of units". First, as shown in FIG. 8, a unit is purchased in the same procedure as that for adding a unit, and then a unit to be replaced is selected from a pull-down menu, and the units are replaced. The old table is discarded and a new table is installed. Replacement of these units,
As in the case of the addition of the above-described units, the operation can be performed only in units of ten units.

If there is not enough funding to purchase the units,
A message is displayed from the manager indicating that there is not enough money, as in the case of purchasing the car.

In the case where the reliability of the customer is high at the time of replacing the tables, a waste material supplier appears and buys the discarded tables.

When the exchange of the units is completed, a message indicating that the exchange of the units is completed is displayed from the manager.

Next, the "addition of clerk" will be described.
As shown in FIG. 9, the process is divided into replacement of managers and addition of floor staff and counter staff.

To change the manager, select “Add clerk” from the change menu and select a manager on the clerk addition screen. On the manager screen, since only one manager can be hired, a message is displayed asking whether or not to replace the current manager. If the manager is to be replaced, the manager is switched by selecting "Manager replacement". .

The current status of the manager includes the place of birth, clerk reliability, customer reliability, ability, salary, and comments for the manager. When checking the status of the current manager, the status can be checked by selecting “current manager status” on the manager screen, and when checking the status of the new manager, the status can be checked by selecting “new manager status”.

On the status display screen of the manager,
Enter to move to another manager's status, enter to switch managers, enter to return to the change menu.

There are a total of 12 managers who can be replaced, each having different characteristics such as hometown and personality. The type of manager affects the balance and customer reliability.
If the clerk's credibility is high, the clerk will be motivated even if the other status such as the ability is low, and as a result the customer credibility may be increased, so that a simple judgment cannot be made. In addition, the wording changes depending on the place where the manager comes from.

Next, as for the addition of the clerk of the floor staff and the counter staff, as shown in FIG. 10, "add clerk" is selected from the change menu, and the floor staff or the counter staff is selected on the clerk addition screen.

To add a floor staff, after selecting the floor staff on the clerk addition screen, enter the number of additional staff members and select "add". As a result, a message indicating that the floor staff has been added is displayed from the manager, and the user returns to the change menu by inputting.

When adding a counter staff, after selecting the counter staff on the clerk addition screen, enter the number of additional staff members and select "add". As a result, a message indicating that the counter staff has been added is displayed from the manager in the same manner as in the case of the floor staff.

When these floor staffs are added, service to customers is improved, and customer reliability is increased. In addition,
There is a labor cost of 300,000 crackers per additional floor staff.

Also, if you add counter staff,
Improve customer service and increase visibility. Each additional counter staff costs 250,000 pachis of labor.

The duties of the floor staff are mainly to carry a customer's dollar box and set a jackpot at the time of a big hit, and the duties of the counter staff are to deal with a customer who exchanges prizes. Mainly.

Each of them requires the number of customers corresponding to the number of customers. If the number of clerks is too large, the cost is wasted. If the number is too small, the reliability of the customers may be reduced, or the staff may be dissatisfied and quit.

Next, the cost of the clerk will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, the proper number of clerks is determined according to the size of the store. Customer confidence decreases. If you increase the size of the store without increasing the number of clerks,
The clerk quits, and customer confidence drops further.

It should be noted that there is no negative factor to hiring more than the appropriate number of people, but the cost is increased, which eventually affects the balance of the store.

Note that if the number of clerks is insufficient after the scale expansion such as the addition of a stand, a message of caution appears only once from the manager, and if a stand is further added, a message that the clerk has left is transmitted from the manager. . However, the number of clerks does not fall below the initial value.

Next, the "expansion of store size" will be described. First, as shown in FIG.
When "Store size expansion" is selected and the store expansion screen is displayed, how many new units can be installed when the store size is expanded, and the size of the store (large store, medium-sized store, etc.) and the cost of the scale expansion are displayed. In addition, since it takes a whole day to complete the scale up, sales cannot be conducted during that time.

When the scale expansion is completed, the store construction is completed as a message from the manager to the registered e-mail address, and an e-mail is sent to the effect that the installation space for the table has been increased, confirming the completion of the store expansion work. can do.

If there is a shortage of funds when expanding the store, a message that the store could not be expanded due to insufficient funds is displayed, and if the store exceeds the maximum size of 300 stores, Then, a message indicating that no further enlargement is possible is displayed, and the user can return to the change menu.

The expansion of stores requires enormous costs, and the cost burden increases with each expansion, so there is ample funds, and other factors (replacement of units, replacement of managers, etc.) have leveled off. It can be said that this is the last resort.

Next, when performing the "change of the accessor's mail address" registered in the "great parlor" of the present embodiment, "change of the accessor's e-mail address" is performed from the change menu as shown in FIG.
"E-mail address change" is selected, and on the e-mail address change screen, the e-mail address to be changed is input, and the decision is selected, and the change of the registered e-mail address is completed.

The registered e-mail address is used for notifying the completion of the store scale expansion work period, but also for notifying the end by a fever to be described later.

Next, a description will be given of “items” for purchasing peripheral devices of a pachinko machine. As shown in FIG. 14, first, “item” is selected from the top menu of the “great parlor”, and items to be purchased in the item menu are selected. Select from the pull-down menu and select “Next”.

For example, when "Future Land" is selected, the screen shifts to the Future Land screen, where the number of Future Land (how many sets) to purchase is input, and "Purchase" is selected. Here, one set of future lands is provided in units of ten.

Here, when canceling the purchase of the item, the user inputs "" and returns to the item menu. The minimum sales unit differs for each item.

Each item such as Future Land is a pachinko hall peripheral device that is actually sold,
Purchasing these items has advantages such as increased customer satisfaction and increased visibility.

By selecting the number of each of the following items in the item menu, the items shown in FIG.
A detailed description of each item is displayed as shown. On this screen, if you enter, you will proceed to the purchase screen, and if you enter, you will return to the item menu.

Next, the “advertisement” will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6, select an advertisement from the top menu of the “Great Parlor”, and select “Network Advertisement”, “Flyer Distribution”, “Radio”, “Radio” from the advertisement menu.
Select from "magazine", "street vision", and "television", and advertise each store.

“Network advertisement” is registered in the network by selecting an advertisement candidate displayed on the network advertisement screen and selecting a decision, and can be viewed from other players by marketing research described later. When the user selects cancellation, a message indicating that the advertisement has been canceled is displayed.

For advertisements other than network advertisements,
As shown in FIG. 17, the advertisement effect is low, but the cost is low, and the effect is high, but the cost is high. By advertising, the visibility of the store is increased and the number of customers is increased. However, since it is a one-time event, the effect is diminished over time even if the advertisement is played once. When you hit an ad, select the ad you want to hit,
Select "OK".

As shown in FIG. 18, the effect of the advertisement is the most effective television advertisement for 5 days, but the effect becomes weaker as time passes. In order to maintain a high advertising effect, it is necessary to devise such means as combining TV advertisements daily with other advertising media while playing them.

Next, "marketing research" will be described. As shown in FIG. 19, a marketing research is selected from the top menu of the "great parlor", and a district is selected in the marketing research menu. The name of the store you are hitting is displayed. Stores are all linked, and when a store is selected, data of the store is displayed. Furthermore, it is also possible to enter a pachinko parlor selected from here and play a fever by flicking, which will be described later.

By conducting the marketing research, it is possible to purchase information on the tables handled at the store, and the own store can also purchase the tables handled at other stores.

Also, even on a table that is not handled by another store, frequent marketing research can make it possible to purchase the product in one's own store.

As shown in FIG. 20, the income and expenditure of the store is calculated from various factors such as the number of hired clerks, advertising costs, pachinko machine maintenance costs, various expenses, and pachinko machine occupancy rates.

The operating rate of the pachinko machine constantly changes due to the effect of advertisement, customer reliability, the number of new machines, the abundance of pachinko machines, and a little randomness. Basically, in the case of a new accessor, it is supported on the computer side, such as correcting to a plus when the deficit continues. When you are used to the game (about a month), you will remove the computer's correction function, but if the payment is in the red, set the operating rate higher and change it to black. At that time, the nail release rate is regarded as a low value due to internal processing.

In this manner, the situation data such as the sales of pachinko parlors and the number of customers is updated based on the parameters that are sequentially changed by the user.

Next, the “pachi fever” will be described. As shown in FIG. 21, by selecting “pachi fever” from the top menu of the “great parlor” as shown in FIG. It is configured so that another access user can select various pachinko machines installed in a parlor managed by the pseudo-management and play the pachinko machines in a simulated manner.

The server computer 1 randomly selects, from the content library, content data in which store data having a relatively large number of accesses is described, based on the selection of “pick and fever”, and selects the selected content data. Is transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 3, and as shown in FIG. 21, the hometown, the nickname, and the store name of the manager of the store where the game is performed are displayed in the form of "the opponent to be played this time".

At this time, if the user does not like the displayed store, the user selects and inputs “search for another store”,
Based on the input, content data of another store is transmitted from the server computer 1 as shown in FIG.
The display is displayed, and the user can move to another store as many times as desired until the desired store is displayed.

Next, if the user is satisfied with the displayed store, the user selects and inputs "game!"
As shown in FIG. 2, a model selection screen of the pachinko machine in the selected store is transmitted from the server computer 1 and displayed, and the model displayed in the pull-down menu shown in the model selection screen is displayed. The model is selected by selecting and inputting "OK".

Next, a play style selection screen shown in FIG. 23 is transmitted from the server computer 1,
When selecting a play time from “short time”, “normal”, and “long time” in the pull-down menu on the play style selection screen and inputting “enter”, a selection screen of “auto play” or “manual play” is displayed, If "auto play" is selected on this selection screen, a message to notify by e-mail is displayed at the end.

When the "auto play" is thus selected, in the server computer 1, the game is started by the game program, and the actual time is short: 30 minutes, normal: 3 hours, long: Six hours are measured, and when these times elapse, as shown in FIG.
An e-mail notifying the end of the game and an address (URL) of the content data in which the game result based on the parameters updated by the previous game is described is transmitted to the user's mobile phone terminal 3.

When the mobile phone terminal 3 receiving the mail accesses the URL described in the received mail,
As shown in FIG. 27, a result report screen based on the corresponding parameter is displayed. When "message to store manager" is selected on the result report screen, a message selection screen is displayed, and the message selection screen is displayed. When a message is selected and "Send" is input and transmitted, the message selected in the server computer 1 is transmitted to the store manager, and a transmission completion screen is displayed in the mobile phone terminal 3 to end the game. Becomes

As described above, in the present embodiment, when "auto play" is selected as the play style, the game is continuously executed even when the user does not access the server computer 1. The user accesses the server computer 1 by accessing the server computer 1 by receiving an e-mail including address information of a result report screen on which game status data (parameters) at the end of the game, which is a result of the game, can be confirmed. It can be performed continuously without any trouble, and the result can be easily confirmed.

When "manual play" is selected on the "auto play" or "manual play" selection screen shown in FIG. 23, the game is started by the game program and selected from the parameters and the content library at that time. A play screen based on the received data is generated and transmitted by the server computer 1 and displayed on the mobile phone terminal 3 of the accessor.

In the manual play screen, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the remaining time obtained by subtracting the time required to reach from the play time selected on the play style selection screen and the reach state are displayed, and the result of the reach is displayed by moving the screen down. At the same time, the time advances to the next reach by inputting “next”, the reach state is displayed as described above, and the result of the reach is displayed by moving the screen down. I have.
