Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration. A lending device 2 is installed corresponding to the gaming machine 1. A management device (corresponding to a game information management device) 3 is installed in the management room. A relay device 4 is installed corresponding to the two gaming machines 1 and the two lending devices 2. The relay device 4 is connected to the gaming machine 1, the lending device 2, and the management device 3. The lending device 2 and the management device 3 receive game signals transmitted from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the lending device 2, etc.) via the relay device 4.

  The management device 3 totals game information for each gaming machine ID and identifies the total calculation value. A control unit (a management unit, a game information identification unit, a start ratio identification unit, a ball identification unit, a jackpot Ratio identification means, equivalent to theoretical hitting ball identification means), storage unit consisting of HDD, RAM, ROM, etc. (equivalent to management means, theoretical distribution ratio storage means), transmission / reception unit consisting of I / O (equivalent to reception means) ), An output unit made up of a monitor, a printer, etc., and an operation unit made up of a keyboard, a mouse, etc. (corresponding to a starting ratio specifying means, an output ball specifying means, a jackpot ratio specifying means).

  The gaming machine 1 to be managed includes a first start port 5, a second start port 6, a symbol changing unit 7, and a special winning port 8. The first start port 5 is a normal winning port. The second starting port is equipped with a so-called electric chew, which is in a short state when the electric chew is easily opened and closed in a probability variation state (hereinafter, probability variation) and the winning rate is increased. The jackpot corresponding to the winning at the first starting opening 5 (hereinafter referred to as the first starting opening prize) suddenly generates a sudden probability variation jackpot (hereinafter referred to as a sudden hit jackpot) and a normal payout jackpot, whereas The jackpot corresponding to the winning at the starting port 6 (hereinafter referred to as the second starting port winning) is caused by generating only a normal hitting jackpot, so that an abrupt big hit is expected during the normal state, while a sudden big hit is expected during the probable change state. The game has been realized to suppress the occurrence of. Since this game play has a high second winning opening winning rate during the probability changing state, the number of jackpots (corresponding to the second starting jackpot) based on the second starting opening prize increases, while the second starting opening prize is given during the normal state. Since the rate is low, it is established by increasing the number of jackpots (corresponding to the first starting jackpot) based on the first starting opening prize. In this case, since the expected value of the number of jackpot balls based on the first starting opening prize and the number of jackpot balls based on the second starting slot winning prize will be different, the management device 3 in this way for each starting slot. It is characterized by managing gaming machines 1 having different expected values for the number of jackpots.

The specification value of the gaming machine 1 (information provided from the manufacturer) can be set in the management device 3 for simulation described later. FIG. 8 shows the spec values of the gaming machine 1 to be managed set in the management device 3, and the meaning of each spec is as follows.
15 (2) R ratio: the ratio of jackpots that generate 15 (2) R jackpots Prize balls: Number of payout media for winning a prize Probability change ratio: Of jackpots, a jackpot that is a jackpot that will be probabilistic after jackpot Ratio Average number of continuations: Expected jackpot number that occurs until the normal state is reached from the occurrence of the jackpot (the end of the sweet mode (probability change state or short-time state): equivalent to the special state), and the sweet mode is only the probability change state For example, 1 ÷ (1-probability change rate). In addition, when the sweet mode includes a so-called number-of-times-single time-short state, the expected value includes a jackpot number that can be expected to occur during the time-short state.
TS (A) (equivalent to jackpot probability): Reciprocal of jackpot probability in normal time (during sweet mode) (average number of symbol fluctuations until theoretical jackpot occurrence (start))

The operation of the gaming machine 1 having such specifications will be described.
(1) A jackpot lottery is performed in accordance with winning at the first start port 5 or the second start port 6. In addition, there are four so-called holding balls each, and in the normal state, the symbol variation for notifying the jackpot lottery result is performed in the order of winning, while the symbol variation corresponding to the second start port 6 is first during the probability variation. This is prioritized over symbol variation corresponding to the start port 5.
(2) The winning probability (probability of jackpot) of the jackpot lottery is 1/310, and the ratio of jackpots (hereinafter, probable change jackpots) that become probabilistic (probable) after jackpot is 66.6%.
(3) During the probability change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/31, and the winning state for the second starting port 6 becomes short when the winning rate becomes high. Since the probability change continues until the next jackpot, it will continue until a jackpot that is in a normal state after the jackpot (normal transition jackpot) occurs.
The above (2) and (3) are common to the start ports 5 and 6.

  (4) When a big win occurs, the big winning opening 8 is opened by the amount corresponding to the corresponding round (hereinafter, R). The maximum number of winnings for each 1R is 10, but the upper limit opening time is 1 second for the 2R jackpot (corresponding to the second winning jackpot), and 30 seconds for the 15R jackpot (corresponding to the first winning jackpot). Yes, when either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied, 1R is ended. In other words, if the corresponding jackpot R, which is the corresponding R, is different, the expected output value that is the expected value of the number of balls is different from each other.

(5) The distribution of the jackpot R corresponding to each of the start ports 5 and 6 is 15R: 2R = 7: 3 for the first start port 5 and 15R: 2R = 10: 0 for the second start port 5; 2) The jackpot ratio (corresponding to the jackpot ratio) is based on the fact that the first starting port 5 has 15R probability variation jackpot: 15R normal transition jackpot: 2R probability variation jackpot = 11: 10: 9, whereas the second starting port 6 has 2: 1: 0. That is, although the jackpot probability and probability change rate of each of the start ports 5 and 6 are the same, the theoretical distribution ratio (15R ratio (first theoretical distribution ratio) which is the theoretical jackpot distribution ratio of 15R jackpot and 2R jackpot 2R ratio (corresponding to the second theoretical distribution ratio)) is a jackpot state (first starting jackpot) generated in response to winning at the first starting port 5 and winning at the second starting port 6 Are set to be different from each other in the jackpot state (second starting jackpot) generated according to the above. With such a setting, the expected payout values for the jackpots generated based on the winnings at the first start port 5 and the second start port 6 are different from each other.
Note that the above-mentioned “normal output big jackpot” corresponds to 15R probability variation jackpot and 15R normal transition jackpot, and “surprise probability jackpot” corresponds to 2R probability variation jackpot.

The following gaming signals are output from the gaming machine side.
Out signal (used medium signal): Output from an out BOX for collecting used balls. Since there is one pulse for 10 recovered (used and driven) balls, the number of out signals × 10 is specified as the number of used media (out). In addition, you may output from the gaming machine 1.
Safe signal (payout medium signal): output from the gaming machine 1. Since there are 1 pulse for 10 payout balls, the number of safe signals × 10 is specified as the number of payout media (safe). Note that the replenishment signal from the replenishing device may be a safe signal.
Start signal (first start signal, second start signal): output from the gaming machine 1 for each of the start ports 5 and 6. The number of start signals is 1 start (first start number), since there is 1 pulse per symbol change (actual function operation) in the display section (actual function) that fluctuates (operates) due to winning at each start port 5, 6. 2 (second start number) is specified. A start winning signal that is output in response to a winning at the start ports 5 and 6 may be used as a start signal. Moreover, you may make it specify the number of operation of an accessory as a start.
Jackpot signal: A state signal that is output from the gaming machine 1 so that 2,15R can be specified during the jackpot.
Probability change signal (special status signal): A status signal output from the gaming machine 1 during the level change. A time-short signal indicating a time-short state may be used as a special state signal.
Sales signal: 1 pulse output for 25 sales balls (100 yen) that are output from the lending device 2 and rented to the player when a valuable value such as money is received from the player.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
In connection with the present invention, the management device 3 executes signal reception processing 1, signal reception processing 2, and status signal reception processing in parallel.
In the signal reception process 2 shown in FIG. 12, the management device 3 determines whether a start 1 or start 2 (hereinafter, start 1 (2)) signal is received (B1) or a loan signal is received (B4). ing. When a player inserts money into the lending device 2 in order to rent a game medium, the lending device 2 outputs a lending signal of 1 pulse for every 25 balls sold (100 yen). Every time a lending signal is received (B4: YES), the sales amount is added in units of 100 yen (B5).

  In the signal processing 1 shown in FIG. 11, the management device 3 determines whether an out or safe (hereinafter, out (safe)) signal has been received (A1). When a player starts a game and hits a lending ball into the gaming machine 1, an out signal of 1 pulse is output every time 10 out balls are collected to the out BOX. When a (safe) signal is received (A1: YES), out (safe) is added (A2), and a 15R jackpot (abbreviated as “big bonus” in the drawing) flag or 2R jackpot flag (hereinafter referred to as 15 (2) ) R flag) is “1” (A3), and the sweet flag is “1” (A4). Since all are “NO” at the start of the game, the process returns.

  When a game medium is won at the first start port 5 or the second start port 6 (hereinafter referred to as the first (2) start port) of the gaming machine 1 and a symbol change is performed, a start 1 (2) signal is sent from the gaming machine 1. Is output, the management device 3 receives the start 1 (2) signal in the signal reception process 2 of FIG. 12 (B1: YES), and if the sweet flag is “0” (B2 : YES), normal start 1 (2) is added (B3).

  In the status signal reception process shown in FIG. 13, when the 15 (2) R jackpot flag is “0” (C1: YES), the management apparatus 3 has started receiving the 15 (2) R jackpot signal (C2 ), Whether the sweet flag is “0” (C9), or whether the reception of the probability variation signal is completed (C12).

  When the gaming machine 1 wins the first (2) start opening, it executes a jackpot lottery and performs the jackpot lottery with a winning probability of 1/310. If 15 (2) R wins as a result of the jackpot lottery, 15 (2) R jackpot is executed. At this time, since the gaming machine 1 outputs the 15 (2) R signal, the management device 3 sets the 15 (2) R flag when the reception of the 15 (2) R signal is started (C2: YES). After “1” is set (C3), 15 (2) R jackpot is added (C4), it is determined whether the sweet flag is “0” (C5) and whether the jackpot signal has been received (C7). When the big hit is a normal big hit, since the sweet flag is “0” (C1: YES), the normal big hit (normal bonus) is added (C6).

When the management apparatus 3 receives an out (safe) signal in the signal reception process 1 of FIG. 11 (A1: YES), and the 15 (2) R jackpot flag is “1” (A3: YES) ), 15 (2) RT1O (T1 safe) is added (A5), and TO (T safe) is added (A6).
As described above, the management device 3 manages out (safe), out (safe) in normal start 1 (2), 15 (2) R.

  When the game machine 1 performs the jackpot lottery as described above, the game machine 1 draws the normal transition jackpot or the probability variation jackpot, and the probability of the probability variation jackpot is 66.6% of the jackpot. When the probability change jackpot is won, the gaming machine 1 ends the output of the jackpot signal when the jackpot ends, and then generates a probability change state and outputs a probability change signal.

In the status signal reception process of FIG. 13, when the management device 3 finishes receiving the jackpot signal (C7: YES), the management device 3 sets the 15 (2) R jackpot flag to “0” (C8) and receives the probability variation signal. If started (C10: YES), the sweet flag is set to “1” (C11).
When the management device 3 receives an out (safe) signal in the signal reception process 1 of FIG. 11 (A1: YES), and the sweet flag is “1” (A4: YES), TO (T safe) Only A is added (A6). In the signal reception process 2 of FIG. 12, when the start signal 1 (2) is received (B1: YES), when the sweet flag is “1” (B2: NO), the sweet start 1 (2) Are added (B6).

The gaming machine 1 ends the output of the probability change signal when the normal transition jackpot occurs during the probability change and the normal state is reached.
In the status signal reception process of FIG. 13, the management device 3 sets the sweet flag to “0” when the reception of the probability variation signal is completed (C12: YES) (C13).
As described above, the management device 3 manages the TO (T safe) so as to include the out (safe) in the probability variation state of the gaming machine 1, and manages the sweet start 1 (2) in the probability variation state.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a raw data list for one business day (unit period) compiled by the management apparatus 3. In the raw data list, “out”, “safe”, “start 1”, “start 2”, “sales amount”, “big number”, “TO”, “TO” Each item of “T safe”, “T1O”, and “T1 safe” is set, and their meanings are as follows.
Out: Number of game media used in gaming machine 1 based on out signal Safe: Number of game media paid out by gaming machine 1 based on safe signal Start: Number of starts in gaming machine 1 based on start signal (Start: The numerical value of the item indicates the corresponding start port, and normally indicates that it corresponds to the normal state, and the sweet medium corresponds to the sweet mode (special state: special state (probability change) signal is being received).
Sales: Consideration for sales balls (number of rental game media) that are loaned with sales lent by the corresponding lending machine (input amount to lending machine)
Jackpot: Jackpot number based on jackpot signal. “Normal” is the number of jackpots that occurred in the normal state and is the so-called “first win” number. In addition, 15R, 2R is the number of jackpots per round (R) TO (T safe): Out of jackpot, and out of sweet (safe)
T1O (T1 safe): Out of jackpot per R (safe)
In the figure, “average” means the average of gaming machines.

The management device 3 creates game information aggregation based on the raw data of FIG. FIG. 3 shows an example of the game information tabulated by the management device 3. As game information aggregation, “base”, “normal S1”, “Amanaka S1”, “normal S2”, “Amanaka S2”, “BY”, “big number” corresponding to “gaming machine ID” ”,“ T1Y ”,“ T1O ”,“ Delivering rate ”,“ B service ”,“ Customer congestion rate ”, and“ Gross profit ”are set, and their meanings are as follows.
In addition, “average” in the figure is an average value for each model (corresponding value of “total” in FIG. 2).

Base: Payout rate for each state (usually Kannaka) = (Safe-T Safe) / (Out-TO), (T Safe-T1 Safe (15R & 2R)) / (TO-T1O (15R & 2R))
“Safe-T safe” is normal safe (B safe), “Out-T out” is normal out (B out), “T safe-T1 safe” is Amane's safe, “T out-T1”. “Out” corresponds to “out” in Amane, and can be directly tabulated as raw data, and may be replaced as appropriate.

S1 (2): Average number of start times corresponding to the first start port (second start port) with respect to the unit out (100) in the normal state = start 1 (2) ÷ (out−TO) × unit out Amami S1 (2 ): Average number of start times corresponding to the first start port (second start port) with respect to the unit out (100) in Kanaka = Sanchu start 1 (2) ÷ (TO-T1O (15R & 2R)) × unit out S1 (2) The rate is the ratio of S1 (2) to the total average start = S1 (2) ÷ (S1 + S2).

BY: Payout rate excluding start opening prize payout in the base for each state = base− (S1 × first start opening prize ball number (3) + S2 × second start opening prize ball number (4)) ÷ 100
Big number: “Total” is the sum of all jackpots = 15R jackpot + 2R jackpots, “Gunnaka” is the jackpot number generated in Kanchu = All jackpot sums-Normal jackpot T1Y (corresponding to the theoretical jackpot number) “Total average” is the average of all jackpots T1Y = (T1 safe (15R & 2R) −T1O (15R & 2R)) ÷ total of all jackpots, where 15,2R is the average number of game media for jackpot per R = (T1 safe -T1O) ÷ number of jackpots T1O: “total average” is the average of all jackpots T1O = (T1O (15R & 2R)) ÷ total jackpot number where 15 and 2R are the average jackpot per R T1O = T1O ÷ number of jackpots B S: Number of subtracted game media at normal time = (Out-T Out)-(Safe-T Safe)
Passenger rate: Ratio of B to sales balls = B sales ÷ sales balls Sales balls = sales ÷ unit price of lending Gross profit: Profit on the amusement hall side by game = sales amount-exchange balls x exchange unit price = Sales balls-(Out-safe)
However, lending unit price = 4 yen, exchange unit price = 3.3 yen

  The management device 3 stores the aggregated values as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 for a plurality of days (for example, one month), and based on the stored aggregated values, the Sakachi S1 rate for each business day and each gaming machine 1 ( SA1 rate (S1 rate in Sakachu S1 in FIG. 3): equivalent to the first special start ratio) and 15RT1Y (15R in T1Y in FIG. 3: equivalent to the first average payout) are specified as specific values, Based on the set setting information, the total average T1Y and the like are totaled for each range to which the specific value belongs.

FIG. 4 shows the SA1 rate set in the management apparatus 3 and the range setting value of 15RT1Y. As setting values, each item of “SA1 rate” and “15RT1Y” is set corresponding to items 1 to 4, and 16 ranges are set by combinations of the items.
5 to 7, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a plurality of days (for example, one month) of game information for each business day and each gaming machine 1 are counted, and the SA1 rate as a total value and 15RT1Y are Each game information (total average T1Y, appearance rate (ratio of safe to out), divisor (ratio of exchanged balls to sales): start ratio information) depending on which range in FIG. 4 belongs to Is shown.

For example, in the case of the gaming machine ID “1” in FIG. 3, the SA1 rate is 1.5% and 15RT1Y is 1520, so the SA1 rate is “˜3%” and 15RT1Y is “1510”. Aggregated as game information.
Since the relationship between the SA1 rate and each game information can be grasped based on FIGS. 5 to 7, the target game information can be adjusted by adjusting the nail so that the SA1 rate corresponding to the target game information is obtained. Can be approached.

On the other hand, the management device 3 is input based on the preset specification value (numerical value) of the gaming machine 1 of FIG. 8 and the total value of actual data for a plurality of days (for example, one month). Based on SA1, predetermined game information can be simulated.
FIG. 9 shows an example of the total value of the actual data shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 for a plurality of days, and the meaning of the items of the actual data is as follows.
Number of jackpots: Value obtained by excluding the number of normal jackpots (initial number) from the total jackpot number Bonus ratio: Jackpot ratio for each state (usually, Kannaka) to the total jackpot number = Number of jackpots per state ÷ Total jackpot number FIG. 10 shows an example in which SA1 and SA2 are used as input values to simulate a payout rate, a divisor, a gross profit amount, and the like. 10 simulates a case where a jackpot is generated with a jackpot probability according to the specification value of FIG. 4 and the jackpot continues for the average number of continuations when it is the first win. That is, the data for a plurality of days (for example, for one month) related to the jackpot determined from the actual data is low in accuracy to be used as simulation data, so the specification value of FIG. 8 is used as the data regarding the jackpot.

Each item will be described below.
SA1 to base A: S1 to base in Amane, SA1 and 2 are input values, and others are simulated values.
T1YA (corresponds to the number of balls in the theoretical jackpot) (T1OA): SA1 rate × first start port 15R ratio × 15RT1Y (15RT1O) + SA1 rate × first start port 2R ratio × 2RT1Y (2RT1O) + SA2 rate (second special start ratio) Equivalent) x 2nd start port 15R ratio x 15RT1Y (15RT1O) + SA2 rate x 2nd start port 2R ratio x 2RT1Y (2RT1O)
Base A = (SA1 × first starting mouth prize ball + SA2 × second starting mouth prize ball) ÷ 100 + Amanaka BY
Total average T1Y (corresponds to the number of balls per theoretical jackpot) = T1Y x normal jackpot ratio (corresponds to the normal jackpot ratio) + T1YA x sweet medium jackpot ratio (corresponds to the special jackpot ratio)
Total average T1O = average jackpot average for all normal and sweet mediums = T1O × normal jackpot ratio + T1OA × sweet medium jackpot ratio corrected out = out total corresponding to one jackpot for normal time = TS ÷ S × unit out + TSA ÷ SA X (average continuation -1) x unit out + total average T1O x average continuation number corrected safe = safe total corresponding to one time per normal time = TS / S x unit out x base + TSA / SA x (average continuation- 1) x Unit Out x Base A + (Total Average T1Y + Total Average T1O) x Average Continuity Number of Corrected Rolls Out = Correction Safe / Correction Out Correction B Size = TS / S x Unit Out x (1-Base)
Corrected sales balls (sales balls corresponding to one hit per normal time) = Correction B ÷ Customer delay rate Correction percent = Corrected replacement balls ÷ Corrected sales balls → Corrected replacement balls = Corrected sales balls + Corrected safe-Corrected out Corrected balls Unit price (sales amount for corrected out 1) = corrected sales ball / corrected out × lending unit price corrected ball gross profit (profit amount for corrected out 1) = (corrected sales unit × lending unit price−corrected replacement unit × exchange unit price) ÷ corrected out Corrected total sales (total sales amount) = corrected ball unit price × out Note that out is actual data.
Adjusted gross margin (total profit) = Adjusted gross margin x out

As SA1 and SA2 of “1” in FIG. 10, the average of “Amanaka S1” and “Amanaka S2” of the gaming machine information aggregation of FIG. 3 was input. Therefore, when the big hit is generated according to the specifications in the gaming machine 1, it is possible to obtain data from which the error factor of the actual data is removed.
In addition, since the data when SA1 and SA2 are changed can be simulated, the influence on sales by changing SA1 and SA2 can be analyzed and reflected in the nail adjustment. In this embodiment, the case where SA1 + SA2 = SA is input as a constant value is shown in order to make it easy to grasp the effect, but any numerical value may be input to SA1 and SA2.

According to such an embodiment, the management device 3 targets the gaming machines 1 having different expected values for the number of jackpots corresponding to the start ports 5 and 6 as the management targets, and the average corresponding to each start port 5 and 6. Enter the start ratio, which is the ratio of the number of starts S1 and S2, the 15RT1Y and the round distribution ratios of S1 and S2, and the start will occur according to the input start ratio, and it will be appropriate according to the input round distribution ratio. When the rounds are distributed and 15R jackpots are generated, the expected value of T1Y is simulated under the circumstances where the expected 15RT1Y jackpot balls can be expected. Game information such as the rate of play, the number of divisions, and the gross profit using the number of balls can be appropriately simulated, and it has an appropriate image when performing nail adjustment related to the start ratio of gaming machines. It is possible to perform a nail adjustment Te.
Also, T1Y, which is the expected output value when the big hit state occurs through the normal state and the sweet mode state, is simulated, so that a game suitable for performing nail adjustment related to the start ratio in the sweet mode Information can be easily grasped.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
The jackpot type is determined based on the jackpot signal type. However, even if the jackpot type cannot be determined based on the signal type, the jackpot type may be determined based on, for example, the reception time of the jackpot signal or T1Y. In this case, out and safe may be temporarily stored during the jackpot, and the out and safe may be sorted into information corresponding to the jackpot type according to the determination result.

  The game information to be counted in FIGS. 5 to 7 is not limited to the example, and other game information such as gross profit may be counted. In addition, other start ratios such as SA2 rate may be adopted instead of SA1 rate, or other big hit balls such as 2RT1Y may be adopted instead of 15RT1Y. Of course, the period unit is not limited to one business day, but may be set as appropriate until the period when the nail adjustment is performed again.

  5 to 7, the numerical values of the game information are aggregated as they are, but the ratios of the aggregated numerical values may be aggregated. For example, “1339”, which is the total average T1Y of “˜3%” and “˜1450” in FIG. 4, is 100%, and “1399” of “˜3%” “1510” is “104.5%” = 1399. ÷ 1339 etc.

The game information in FIGS. 7 and 8 may be simulated by exchanging with each other. For example, TS is an actual value.
The S1 (2) rate, the SA1 (2) rate, and the 15 (2) RT1Y in FIGS. 7 to 9 and 10 may be either actual values or operation input values. Of course, other game information such as a customer congestion rate may be used as an operation input value as necessary.

In FIG. 8, T1Y is a total value of actual data, but it may be a simulation target as in T1YA.
Since 2R jackpots cannot be expected, 2RT1Y may be excluded from the calculation target and T1Y, T1YA, and total average T1Y may be simulated. For example, in the case of T1YA, SA1 rate × 15R ratio (first start port) × 15RT1Y + SA2 rate × 15R ratio (second start port) × 15RT1Y is set.

3 to 7, T1Y for each R is the value obtained by dividing the difference between the total values of T1 safe and T1O by the number of jackpots, but the number of balls for each jackpot is stored, and the average value is T1Y for each R. It is also good.
There may be any number of start ports and jackpot types (R numbers) as long as there are a plurality. Of course, only the big hits (for example, 15R and 5R) that substantially get a ball may be adopted as the big hit types, such as adopting 5R big hits instead of 2R big hits.

A gaming machine that outputs a special status signal during a jackpot may be a management target. In this case, if the state determination is performed by giving priority to the big hit state over the sweet mode state (probability change), the same state determination as in the present embodiment is possible. In addition, as a game machine to be managed, if the R distribution rate for each start port is different, a sudden big hit may be generated by a big hit lottery by the start port 6.
In addition to the description in the present embodiment, for example, game information such as the number of corrected difference balls calculated by out × (1−correction payout rate) may be simulated. Further, the specification in the present invention is a concept including a concept specified in the calculation process.

  In this embodiment, an arithmetic expression “TS ÷ S × unit out” is adopted in the arithmetic expression for correction out, but this arithmetic expression is “TS ÷ (normal start 1 + normal start 2) × (out−TO). ) "Etc., and may be calculated based on such an arithmetic expression. Of course, the same applies to other arithmetic expressions.
