[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0012] [First embodiment] An information processing system 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. The information processing system 100 is an information processing system for supporting transactions of used gaming machines.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 100 includes a hall control data acquisition unit 101, a used gaming machine transaction data acquisition unit 102, a synthesis unit 103, and a generation unit 104.

[0014] The hall control data acquisition unit 101 acquires hall control data. The used gaming machine transaction data acquisition unit 102 acquires used gaming machine transaction data. The synthesis unit 103 synthesizes the acquired used gaming machine transaction data and hall control data. The generation unit 104 uses the synthesis result by the synthesis unit 103 to generate a display screen that combines the machine gross profit included in the hall control data with the desired selling price and removal date of the used gaming machine included in the used gaming machine transaction data.

[0015] According to the above configuration, it becomes possible to accurately determine whether or not to purchase a used gaming machine.

[0016] [Second embodiment] Next, an information processing system 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a diagram for explaining an overview of the information processing system 200 according to this embodiment.

[0017] The information processing system 200 includes a used gaming machine trading analysis server 201, a hall control data management server 202, and a used gaming machine trading server 203. The used gaming machine trading analysis server 201 is a server that receives access from each store and used machine dealer and conducts used machine transactions. Specifically, it accepts and publishes sales information specifying the model, removal date, desired selling price, and number of units from, for example, Store A, and then receives a purchase request from, for example, Store B specifying the desired purchase price and number of units in response to the sales information, and delivers the gaming machines from Store A to Store B.

[0018] That is, the used gaming machine trading server 203 has the desired selling price / removal date 231 and used gaming machine sales information 232 as used gaming machine trading data 230 for used pachinko / pachislot machines. The desired selling price / removal date 231 is information indicating the price at which the gaming machine is to be sold and when it will be removed, and is presented to each parlor. On the other hand, the used gaming machine sales information 232 as the result of the transaction is not made public, but is stored in the used gaming machine trading server 203.

[0019] However, the desired selling price and removal date 231 presented by the used gaming machine trading server 203 is not reliable. This is because used machine dealers manipulate the used machine market price by short selling, etc. As a result, the price displayed is not commensurate with the actual operation of the used machine, and each store buys and sells used machines at manipulated prices.

[0020] Meanwhile, the hall control data management server 202 collects hall control data from the hall computers of each parlor and stores the business characteristics of each gaming machine in the form of national aggregate data, regional data, parlor data, etc. Furthermore, commercial area data for each parlor is also collected separately and stored as commercial area data. Nationwide aggregate data on installed machines or market data may also be stored.

[0021] The used gaming machine trading analysis server 201 acquires the desired selling price and removal date 231 provided by the used gaming machine trading server 203, and by combining it with hall control data (nationwide data 221, own store data 222) and trade area data 223, it can eliminate unreliable desired selling prices and make a judgment, thereby enabling smooth trading of used machines.

[0022] 3 is a diagram showing the internal configuration of the used gaming machine trading analysis server 201. The used gaming machine trading analysis server 201 includes a hall control data acquisition unit 211, a used gaming machine trading data acquisition unit 212, a synthesis unit 213, and a generation unit 214.

[0023] The hall control data acquisition unit 211 acquires nationwide data 221, own store data 222, and trade area data 223 from the hall control data management server 202.

[0024] National Data 221 includes the certification number, model name, national average number of outs, national average number of safes, number of units installed nationwide, national balance beam sales, national balance beam gross profit, and national average price per ball.

[0025] The store's own data 222 includes the inspection number, model name, the store's average number of outs, the store's average number of safes, the number of machines installed in the store, the store's balance beam sales, the store's balance beam gross profit, the store's average ball price, and the like.

[0026] The trade area data 223 includes the certification number, model name, number of customers, operating rate, number of units, and the like.

[0027] The used gaming machine transaction data acquisition unit 212 acquires the desired selling price and removal date 231 and used gaming machine buying and selling information 232 as used gaming machine transaction data 230 from the used gaming machine transaction server 203. The used gaming machine buying and selling information 232 includes the number and price of each type of gaming machine that has been bought and sold.

[0028] The combining unit 213 converts the acquired used gaming machine transaction data 230 into the original format, and further converts at least one of the nationwide data 221, the own store data 222, and the commercial area data 223 into the original format. The combining unit combines the used gaming machine transaction data 230 converted into the original format based on the certification number and model name with at least one of the nationwide data 221, the own store data 222, and the commercial area data 223. The combining unit 213 may further combine nationwide installed model aggregation data or market data.

[0029] The generation unit 214 uses the synthesis result by the synthesis unit 213 to generate a display screen that combines the machine gross profit contained in the hall control data with the desired selling price and removal date of the used gaming machine contained in the used gaming machine trading data.

[0030] 4 to 14 are examples of display screens generated by the generation unit 214. Fig. 4 shows an example in which a planned removal date 402, number of units to be removed 403, and desired selling price 404 entered by a store attempting to sell a specific model displayed in a model information field 401 are displayed in order of price. Furthermore, a planned introduction date 405, number of units to be introduced 406, and desired purchase price 404 entered by a store attempting to buy the model are also displayed in order of price. The planned introduction date 405 on the buyer's side is a date indicating the buyer's intention to purchase the model if it is removed by this date.

[0031] By arranging the desired selling price and desired purchasing price in the same desired price column in order of price, it is possible to predict the price at which the sale is likely to be settled. Furthermore, the upper section is provided with a model information column 401 showing the model name and the national average gross profit per unit, and a price information column 407 showing the actual selling price and the actual selling price compared to the previous day and the previous week. In addition to Figure 4, the removal location on each removal date may also be displayed.

[0032] Figure 5 is a diagram showing so-called trading price (average contract price) in chronological order, displaying date and time 501, removal date 502, price 503, and number of units 504. Figure 6 is a variation of Figure 4, and in addition to the display items in Figure 4, displays amortization days 601, national data 602, and own store data 603. National data 602 and own store data 603 display installation, installation support rate, unit sales, unit gross profit, and unit profit. Amortization days is the number of days obtained by dividing the transaction price by the unit gross profit per day. Installation support rate is the average performance of national data, and indicates how many installations there are compared to the number of units supplied to the market. It is calculated by dividing installation share by installation share.

[0033] Such a display allows a user to more accurately determine at what price to sell or buy, without being swayed solely by the trading price.

[0034] FIG. 7 is another example of a display screen generated by the generation unit 214. In FIG. 7, the vertical axis represents the transaction amount and the horizontal axis represents time, and the number of machines on which transactions were completed is mapped. A heat map can also be generated by indicating the number of machines on which transactions were completed using color intensity or the like. In this figure, a gaming machine name column 701 and national data 702 are displayed together with information on transaction results. The national data 702 displays the number of bets and gross profit per machine for each month.

[0035] Figure 8 is an example of a graph showing the trend in the used market price (daily average transaction price) of a specific machine. Figure 9 is an example of a graph showing the trend in the number of machines used of a specific machine. Figure 10 is an example of a graph showing the trend in the gross profit per machine of a specific machine.

[0036] FIG. 11 is a combination of FIGS. 8 to 10, and is an example of a graph that can be realized by combining data by the combining unit 213. FIG. 12 is an example of a graph that displays the transition of the used market price and the transition of the placement support rate superimposed on each other. FIG. 13 is an example of a graph that shows large changes by taking the moving average of FIG. 12. FIG. 14 is an example of a graph that further superimposes a histogram of the number of successful transactions on FIG. 13.

[0037] In this way, the used gaming machine trading analysis server 201 makes it possible to analyze which machines should be traded, when, and at what price. Specifically, gaming machines that operate well and depreciate quickly (cheaply) are worth buying. By combining the used gaming machine market price with the business characteristics of gaming machines, it is possible to predict which machines will rise or fall in price in the future. Furthermore, the nationwide gaming machine depreciation rate can be estimated from the purchase price.
