By switching this on / off button 159B to ON, it is possible to set a state where vacant information (vacant notification notice) can be received.

  In order to receive a vacancy notice for a specific gaming machine 2, it is necessary to register that gaming machine 2 as a target. As illustrated in each vehicle data screen of FIG. 14 (c) (same as the screen illustrated in FIG. 12), if the check box 158A corresponding to the gaming machine 2 that wants to receive the vacant machine notification is checked, that as a target base A machine ID (identification information) of the gaming machine 2 can be registered.

  On the other hand, the vacant table information transmitted by the information management device 23 includes the machine number ID (identification information) of the gaming machine 2 that has become vacant. Therefore, if registration of the target machine number ID is completed on the portable terminal 15 side as described above, whether or not the vacant information transmitted by the information management device 23 is information related to the gaming machine 2 registered as the target machine is carried. The terminal 15 can make a determination. When the received vacancy information is information regarding the gaming machine 2 registered as the target platform, the portable terminal 15 displays a vacancy notification as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when the vacancy information transmitted by the information management device 23 is not information corresponding to the gaming machine 2 registered as the target platform, the portable terminal 15 does not display the vacancy notification even when the vacancy information is received.

(3-4) Aiming-notification service If the portable terminal 15 is connected to the wireless LAN 202N in the game hall, a aiming-notification service for receiving notifications from the gaming machine 2 that matches the aiming-arm conditions can be used. When using this aiming table notification service, it is necessary to set in advance aiming target conditions that are extraction conditions for the gaming machine 2. A procedure for using the target platform notification service will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16.

  When the “target stage condition” menu 156M on the top menu screen in FIG. 8B is touched, the display switches to the target stage condition setting (model selection) screen in FIG. In the model list displayed on the target table condition setting (model selection) screen, if the user touches the display column of the model for which target model conditions are to be set, the target table conditions are set with specific numerical values. ) Target stand condition setting (condition input) screen can be switched and displayed.

  In the target base condition setting (condition input) screen of FIG. 15B, 4000 games or more are consumed and BB (big bonus) is generated 20 times or more, and the combined probability that is the sum of the bonus probability and the ART probability is 1 /. It is an example of the setting screen of the target stand condition that it is 150 or more. If an arbitrary numerical value is input and the “registration complete” button at the bottom of the screen is touched, the input target table condition can be set as an extraction condition on the application.

  When the connection to the wireless LAN 202N is completed, the portable terminal 15 is in a mode in which the information management device 23 receives game data of each gaming machine 2 that is transmitted as needed. In the case of the mobile terminal 15 in which the aiming table conditions illustrated in FIG. 15 are set in advance on the application, the application executes a determination as to whether or not the received game data of each gaming machine 2 matches the set aiming table conditions. .

  The portable terminal 15 pops up a display of a target table list illustrated in FIG. 16 on the display screen 150 every time a gaming machine 2 that matches the target table condition is generated. In the same figure, as the gaming machine 2 determined to meet the aiming table condition, a target table list display that lists the currently operating 525 number and the empty number 531 is popped up on the front side of the top menu screen. Yes. Thus, the portable terminal 15 as a display unit displays information indicating whether the gaming machine 2 is operating or not operating together with a machine number that is identification information of the gaming machine 2.

  In providing the aiming table notification service, the information management device 23 simply performs a process of transmitting the game data of each gaming machine 2 in the order of the machine number without specifying the mobile terminal 15 as the transmission destination. is there. On the information management device 23 side, when providing the target table notification service, it is not necessary to perform special processing according to the target table conditions set in each portable terminal 15. As described above, in the game hall system 1, the processing load on the information management device 23 side for providing the target table notification service is small.

  As described above, the gaming system 1 according to the present example that provides various information to the player via the mobile terminal 15 manages the operating status of each gaming machine 2 in the gaming hall where a plurality of gaming machines 2 are installed. The information management device 23 and the portable terminal 15 that can communicate with the information management device 23 via a wireless communication line. In this game hall system 1, it is possible to preliminarily set a target stand condition desired by the player in the mobile terminal 15. Then, based on the game data of each gaming machine 2 transmitted from time to time by the information management device 23, the presence or absence of the gaming machine 2 that matches the aiming table condition is determined on the mobile terminal 15 side, and it is determined that it matches the aiming table condition. The machine number of the gaming machine 2 is displayed.

  In this game hall system 1, if the aiming table condition is set in the portable terminal 15 in advance, when the gaming machine 2 that matches the aiming table condition is generated, the machine number of the gaming machine 2 is stored in the portable terminal 15. Is displayed. This game hall system 1 is an excellent system in which a player can easily find a desired game machine 2 without having to check game information of each game machine 2 by himself / herself.

  In particular, in this game hall system 1, it is not necessary to manage the aiming table conditions set in each mobile terminal 15 on the information management device 23 side. The information management device 23 only needs to send out the game data of each gaming machine 2 at any time without designating the transmission destination. For example, the game data of each of the plurality of gaming machines 2 may be transmitted in the order of the numbers. According to the gaming hall system 1 having such specifications, in providing the aiming notice service to the player, an increase in processing load on the information management apparatus 23 side can be avoided, and the cost burden on the gaming hall side becomes excessive. There is little fear.

  When the portable terminal 15 displays the gaming machine 2 that matches the aiming table condition, information indicating whether the gaming machine 2 is operating or not operating together with a machine number that is identification information of the gaming machine 2 Are displayed together. If information on whether or not it is in operation is thus displayed together, the necessity to go and check whether or not the gaming machine 2 that matches the aiming table condition is empty is improved and convenience is improved.

Instead of or in addition to the configuration of this example, the following configuration may be employed. Further, the following configurations may be combined as appropriate.
In this example, the total number of games, the number of BBs, and the synthesis probability are illustrated as the types of game information for which target table conditions are set. The type of game information that can be set as the aiming table condition is not limited to this example, and the aiming table condition may be set for any type of game information. For example, aiming conditions may be set for game information such as a payout rate (number of payout game media / number of input game media) and a difference number (number of payout game media−number of input game media).

In the configuration of this example, the information management device 23 performs determination of vacancy and transmission of vacancy information, but the business management device 20 performs both or one of determination and transmission of vacancy information. It may be configured. Further, the sales management device 20 and the information management device 23 may be integrated into a single management device.
Further, in this example, the information management device 23 reads and transmits the game data of each gaming machine that is the storage data of the sales management device 20, but the sales management device 20 sends the game data of each gaming machine. You may send it. Alternatively, the information management device 23 may transmit the game data of each gaming machine stored in the information management device 23.

  In this example, a configuration is adopted in which an employee who finds a vacancy operates the remote controller 300 to cause the information management device 23 to recognize the occurrence of the vacancy. The method for determining the vacancy is not limited to this configuration. Instead of or in addition to this configuration, for example, the presence of a player may be determined by a camera installed in each gaming machine 2, and may be determined to be empty when there is no player. In addition, when an operation signal such as a turn-on signal output from the gaming machine 2 is interrupted for a certain time or more, it may be determined as empty.

In this example, a configuration is adopted in which the mobile terminal 15 does not perform the vacancy notification when the player receives the vacancy information of the gaming machine 2 that has not registered the vacancy notification. Instead of this, the vacancy notification by the portable terminal 15 may be performed when the player receives the vacancy information of the gaming machine 2 that has not registered for the vacancy notification. In this case, it is desirable to perform a vacancy notification in a mode different from that of the gaming machine 2 that registers the vacancy notification so that the player receiving the vacancy notification can be distinguished.
The information management device 23 may count the number of players registered as vacant notification targets for each gaming machine 2 and transmit the count value included in the vacant notification information.

  In this example, the game information display device 3 is configured to create capture data that is the original data of the capture screen. Instead of this, the information management device 23 may create capture data. In this case, the information management device 23 stores the structure of the data screen of the game information display device 3 in advance, receives the game data at the time of creation from the relay device 29, and applies it to the stored data screen. It is also good to create a capture screen. Note that the data screen (capture screen) displayed on the mobile terminal 15 does not have to be exactly the same as the data screen of the game information display device 3, and may be imitated.

In this example, the function as a game information server, the function as an application server, and the function as an account server are realized by the server device 100. However, each function may be realized by separate devices. Can be installed in different locations.
Although the game information display device 3 is installed above the gaming machine 2, it may be installed on the side of the gaming machine 2. Moreover, in this example, although the game information display apparatus 3 provided with the function to call an employee was illustrated, you may comprise a call display apparatus separately. Alternatively, the game information display device 3 and the lending device 4 may be configured integrally.

  As described above, specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail as in the embodiments. However, these specific examples merely disclose an example of the technology included in the scope of claims. Needless to say, the scope of the claims should not be construed as limited by the configuration, numerical values, or the like of the specific examples. The scope of the claims includes techniques in which the specific examples are variously modified, changed, or appropriately combined using known techniques and knowledge of those skilled in the art.
