It is possible to add only the number of game media paid out during the period and add it to the number of calculated game media.

Even when a player moves three or more game tables and plays a game, the second control means 15 inputs all the game table numbers sequentially, and the game history information on each game table is played. By calculating the number of game media obtained by the table information acquisition means 13 and paid out from the game table or the like and adding up to the number of calculated game media, the exact number of calculated game media can be obtained. In this case, the input of each gaming machine number does not necessarily have to be input in the order in which the player has moved, and may be input in any order.
The first control means 14 and the second control means 15 may be configured as one control means.

The game medium number clearing means 16 is a means for counting the number of game media such as game machines counted as the number of calculated game media. In this process, in the database in which the game history information is recorded, the number of game media of the final game machine counted by the first control means 14 and the number of calculated game media by the second control means 15 are counted. This can be done by subtracting the number of game media in each mobile game machine from the number of game media paid out in each game machine.
As a result, the fact that the game medium has been counted with respect to the number of game media in the database, that is, the game media that has been settled, is stored, and can be used as information for aggregation. When the hall computer 2 is equipped with the database, the game medium number clearing means 16 transmits the number of game media to the hall computer 2 so that the number of game media in each game table is counted. .
If the player has not moved a plurality of game machines, only the number of game media counted by the first control means as the number of calculated game media for the final game machine is counted.
The game media number clearing means 16 is not limited to counting the number of game media of each game table, but sets all the game history information used for the calculated game media number to be counted, and future game tables. It can be prevented from being used for game history information acquisition by the information acquisition means. The game history information that has been counted can be prevented from being added up to the number of calculation game media of other players thereafter.

  Further, the game medium number inquiry means 1 can include count information acquisition means 17 for acquiring information on the number of game media counted by the counter 41. The count game medium number information can be received directly from the counter 41 or via the hall computer 2. In this case, the first control unit 14 and the second control unit 15 compare the number of counted game media acquired by the count information acquisition unit 17 with the calculated number of calculated game media, and the difference is within a predetermined range. It can be configured to display whether or not there is. If the number of counted game media matches the number of calculated game media within a predetermined range, it can be said that the counted number of counted game media is appropriate. The predetermined range may be appropriately determined in consideration of partial loss of game media.

  Further, the game medium number inquiry means 1 can include a game medium setting means 18. The game medium setting means 18 is paid out at the game console by the operation input means 11 when the number of counted game media does not match the calculated number of game media calculated from the game history information due to equipment failure or the like. It is means for correcting the number of game media. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the game medium setting means 18 displays the game table played by the player and the number of game media paid out on the game table on the display device, and manipulates the number of game media after the change. It can be made to input by an input means. Then, the input can be confirmed by the confirm button, and the corresponding gaming machine number and the number of each changed game medium can be transmitted to the hall computer 2 and recorded in the database. As a result, even when the number of calculated game media cannot be calculated correctly due to equipment failure or the like, the number of game media can be matched and stored in the database.

  The game medium number inquiry machine according to the present invention comprises the game medium number inquiry means. The game medium number inquiry machine is communicably connected to the hall computer 2. Moreover, it can connect with the counter 41 and it can acquire count information. The configuration of the game medium number inquiry machine is not particularly limited. For example, the game medium number inquiry machine may be a computer including an input / output device (display with a touch panel, etc.) and a game medium number inquiry means 1 program. If this game medium number inquiry machine is installed in the vicinity of the game medium counter 41, the comparison and comparison between the counted number of game media and the calculated number of game media based on the number of game media paid out from the game machine Can be done on the spot.

An example of the operation and processing of the game medium number inquiry means is shown in FIG. This figure explains the outline of the relationship of each specific process, Comprising: The flow of control is not limited to this.
In this example, the number of game media is inquired from the hall computer for game history information (final game machine and mobile game machine) played by the player, and paid at each game machine based on the game history information. This shows a flow of calculating and displaying the number of game media that have been issued and instructing the hall computer to count the number of game media counted as the number of game media. Details thereof will be described below.

(1) In the case where there is one game table where the game has been played As shown in FIG. 3, the first control means 14 causes the display means 12 to display an input screen for the game machine number, and allows the operator to input the operation input means 11 (touch panel). ) Is used to input the gaming machine number of the last gaming machine where the game was last played (step S11). The operator is usually a game attendant who operates the game medium number inquiry means together with the operation of the counter 41, and inputs the gaming machine number heard from the player. The game machine number input screen is a screen in which numerical buttons for inputting a numerical value representing the game machine number are arranged, and by touching each button, a gaming machine number having a predetermined number of digits (in FIG. 3, a 4-digit numerical value). “1205”) can be entered. Thereafter, the game machine number is fixed by touching the “OK” button.

  When the gaming machine number is input, the first control unit 14 acquires the gaming history information of the gaming machine number using the gaming machine information acquisition unit 13 (step S12). Specifically, the gaming machine information acquisition means 13 transmits the gaming machine number of the last gaming machine to the hall computer 2 and receives gaming history information on the gaming machine. Next, the first control means 14 displays a list of the game history information received by the game table information acquisition means 13 (step S13). Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the total number of game media in the game history information displayed in a list (7630 + 19530 = 27160 in FIG. 4) is calculated and stored as the calculated number of game media and calculated in the display means 12. The number of game media is displayed as “mochitama” (step S14). In addition, the display unit 12 displays information about the game table such as the game table number and the model name of the game table number. By displaying the model name or the like, it is possible to make it easier for the player to grasp the game table on which the game was played. Note that information on the gaming machine such as the model name of the gaming machine number can be obtained by inquiring and receiving the hall computer 2.

  In this example, the list of game history information displayed on the display means 12 is one line for one game history information, and the start time and end time indicating the period during which the game medium is paid out in one line, and the period The number of game media paid out in is displayed. Further, the special prize history shown in FIG. 5 can be displayed by button operation. This special award history is displayed by pressing a “special award history” button, and a list of game histories handled as jackpots is displayed. The items include the jackpot serial number, the time of jackpot occurrence, the number of “starts” that occurred before the jackpot occurred, the number of “special prizes” paid out by the jackpot itself, and the jackpot paid out during the jackpot period “Number of balls” is displayed. Such special award history display makes it possible to grasp the contents of the game played by the player and facilitate the determination of the suitability of the selected game table and game period. This display can be returned to the list of game history information shown in FIG. 4 by pressing the “game history” button.

  The operator collates the number of calculated game media displayed by the display means 12 with the number of counted game media possessed by the player separately counted by the counter 41 (step S15), and the difference between the two is within a predetermined range. If the counting game medium number is considered to be within the range, the “matching ball clear” button can be touched to end the collation, and the subsequent checkout can be started. At this time, the game medium number clearing means 16 functions by touching the “holding ball clear” button, and the clearing confirmation screen of the holding balls shown in FIG. 6 is displayed (step S16). Here, by touching the “confirm” button, the clear is confirmed, and the game medium number clear means 16 transmits the game machine number and the number of game media to the hall computer 2 (step S17). The hall computer 2 counts the number of game media corresponding to the received game machine number.

  In step S15, the counting information acquisition means obtains the count game medium number information counted by the counter 41 in advance, and the first control means 14 compares the count game medium number with the calculated game medium number. Thus, a determination result as to whether the difference is within a predetermined range may be displayed. This eliminates the need for the operator to visually compare the number of counted game media displayed on the counter 41 with the number of calculated game media displayed in step S14. The same applies to step S25 described later.

  On the other hand, if the difference in the number of game media is not within the predetermined range in step S15 and there is a game table in which the player has played before the final game table, the second control means 15 described below is used. Queries the game history information of the game machine. Further, if the difference in the number of game media is not within the predetermined range in step S15 and the player is playing a game only on the final game machine, there is a risk of fraud.

(2) When there are two game machines that have been played The difference between the number of counted game media and the number of calculated game media obtained by the first control means 14 is not within a predetermined range, and the final game starts from a game machine with different players. When the player moves to a table and plays a game, the operator can touch the “Move table” button and move to the selection of a new game table by the second control means 15 (step S20). Similar to the first control means 14, the second control means 15 displays the input screen for the gaming machine number illustrated in FIG. 3, and allows the operator to input the gaming machine number of the moving gaming machine (step S21). .

  When the gaming machine number of the moving gaming machine is input, the second control unit 15 uses the gaming machine information acquisition unit 13 to acquire the gaming history information of the gaming machine number (step S22). Specifically, the gaming machine information acquisition means 13 transmits a gaming machine number to the hall computer 2 and receives gaming history information on the gaming machine. Next, the second control means 15 lists the game history information related to the mobile game table newly received by the game table information acquisition means 13 together with the list of game history information related to the final game table obtained by the first control means 14. Is displayed (step S23). As shown in FIG. 7, a game history information list related to the final game machine is displayed on the left half side of the display means 12, and a game history information list related to the moving game machine is further displayed on the right half side. In addition, each list includes a start time and an end time indicating the period of the game history information in one line, and the number of game media paid out during the period, as with the game history display by the first control unit 14. Is displayed. Further, the total number of game media in the game history information of the mobile game machine (150 + 4620 + 4550 = 9320 in FIG. 7) is calculated and added to the number of game machines in the final game machine and stored as the number of game machines. Then, the number of the calculated game media (27160 + 9320 = 36480 in FIG. 7) is displayed on the display means 12 as “mob ball” (step S24). Similarly to the above, when the model name of the corresponding game machine is displayed, it is possible to make it easier for the player to grasp the game machine where the game was played.

  The operator collates the number of calculated game media displayed on the display means with the number of counted game media possessed by the player separately counted by the counter 41 (step S25), and the difference between the two is within a predetermined range. If it is considered that the number of counted game media is appropriate, the verification can be completed by touching the “Clear Ball” button, and the subsequent checkout can be started. At this time, the game medium number clearing means 16 functions by touching the “Clear Ball Clear” button, and the clear ball confirmation screen shown in FIG. 8 is displayed (step S26). Here, by touching the “confirm” button, it is confirmed that the counting has been completed, and the game medium number clearing means 16 sets the game machine number (the game machine number of the final game machine and the mobile game machine) and the number of game media to the hall computer. 2 (step S27). The hall computer 2 counts the number of game media corresponding to the received game machine number.

  On the other hand, if the difference in the number of game media is not within the predetermined range in step S25 and the player is playing on another game machine, the game history information of the game machine will be described as follows. Inquire further. In addition, if the difference in the number of game media is not within the predetermined range in step S25 and there is no other game table on which the player has played, there is a risk of fraud.

(3) When there are three or more game machines that have been played If the difference from the number of counted game media is not within the predetermined range even if the number of game media paid out from the mobile game machine is added to the number of calculated game media, The operator can select a game machine number of a new mobile game machine by touching the machine movement button (the arrow button in the left-right direction in FIG. 7) (step S20). The second control means 15 repeats the same steps as described above to input a game machine number for a new mobile game machine (step S21), obtain game history information (step S22), and display a list of game history information (step S23). I do. Then, the number of game media paid out from the final game machine and all the mobile game machines is added up and displayed as the number of calculated game media (step S24).
As a result, the operator collates the number of calculated game media displayed on the display means 12 with the number of counted game media possessed by the player separately counted by the counter 41 (step S25). If it is within the predetermined range, the “catch ball clear” button can be touched to end the collation, and the subsequent checkout operation (step S26) can be performed. The above steps S20 to S25 can be repeated until the number of calculated game media is obtained for all the game tables in which the player has moved and played.

(4) When multiple players are playing a game on the game table If multiple players are playing a game on the last game table or mobile game table to be inquired, the game table information acquisition means 13 will acquire it. Among the game history information, the game history information of players other than the counted player is included, and the correct number of calculated game media cannot be calculated. In such a case, the first control means 14 and the second control means 15 cause the game history information to select only the period during which the counted player has played, and the number of game media paid out during that period is selected. It is possible to calculate the number of calculation game media by counting. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the period can be selected by the operator touching each row of the displayed list of game history information. The first control means 14 and the second control means 15 set the total number of game media in the selected period (in FIG. 9, the rows of game media 19530 and 4550) as the calculated game media count (19530 + 4550 = 248080). It can be calculated and displayed by the display means 12. Further, the hall computer 2 can count the selected number of game media by the game media count clearing means 16.

Through the operations and processes as described above, the game medium number inquiry means calculates the number of game media counted by the counter and the number of game media paid out in an arbitrary number of game machines played by the player. The number of computer game media can be compared and collated. The operator can perform operations at places where the inquiry about the number of game media is necessary, such as in the vicinity of a counter, and it is not necessary to inquire about the number of game media on the game table recorded in the hall computer. Thus, it is possible to accurately confirm whether the number of counting game media is appropriate. Further, it is possible to deal with all the players without using an identification medium such as a card for specifying the players and the game stand.
Further, the game medium number inquiry means can select only the number of game media that the player has played even if a plurality of players are using the game machine, and therefore calculates the correct number of calculated game media. It is possible to prevent the contents of the hall computer database from becoming inaccurate and to perform more accurate management work.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention depending on the purpose and application. For example, in FIG. 9, the game history information is selected in both the final game machine and the mobile game machine. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only one of the final game machine and the mobile game machine may be selected.
