(a) Game playing period at one time of each player in gaming machine unit, (b) change in balance over time of player in a game playing period, (c) operation time of the gaming machine unit, and (d) data relating to profit of a shop side by the gaming machine are generated, the degree of satisfaction of player is computed based on (a) and (b), and the degree of satisfaction of a shop side is computed based on (c) and (d).

Claims (16)

1. A game-playing-information-integration system comprising:

a plurality of gaming machine units; and

a server connected to enable communication with each of the gaming machine units,

wherein each of the gaming machine units comprises:

a player identifier which ascertains player identification information and which outputs the read player identification information; and

a game execution data output device which outputs to the server predetermined data by the execution of game,

wherein the gaming machine unit identification information is individually assigned to each of the gaming machine units,

wherein the server comprises:

a data storage device which stores the player identification information, the predetermined data outputted by the game execution data output device, and reception time data indicating reception time of the predetermined data in association with each other;

an analysis processor which analyzes data received from the gaming machine unit and stored in the data storage device; and

an output device which produces image data depending on the results analyzed by the analysis processor and outputs the data to an external portion, and

wherein, based on data stored in the data storage device, the analysis processor produces data relating to at least the values (x) and (y), as follows:

(x) a cumulative value of the predetermined data of each player at the gaming machine unit, and

(y) a cumulative value of cumulative number of visitors by the type of players classified into player identification information of each player at the gaming machine unit, and

wherein the output device executes by the analysis processor, based on the values (x) and (y), a process of editing a map layout indication image showing a state that the gaming machine units are disposed in the gaming facility to change based on a cumulative value of the predetermined data, outputting the edited map layout information to indicate, and a process of generating and outputting a graph image based on the cumulative value of the number of visitors by the type of players classified in the player identification information in advance.

2. The game-playing-information-integration system according to claim 1 , wherein a processing of producing and outputting a graph image based on the cumulative value (x) obtained by the analysis processor is executed.
