PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a management device which enables execution of a simulation that reflects an actual situation of operation prior to the end of business hours.SOLUTION: The operation rate of a MAX type abruptly decreases in the evening and later. This is because it usually takes a certain amount of time before a jackpot occurs and the jackpot occurs is difficult to be selected when little time is left before players are required to exit from a game arcade. On the other hand, the operation rate of a light type varies below that of the MAX type in a time zone allowing a long play, but varies above that of the MAX type from the evening to near the closing time. This is because a jackpot can be expected to occur relatively soon after a game is started and it tends to be chosen even when little time is left before players are required to exit from the game arcade. Taking these into account, a depreciation simulation is executed to reflect behavior of players in a prescribed time period prior to the end of business hours of the game arcade.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 |
