Description

<p>We measured the cardiac rates of those who play Pachinko slot machines, and the mental excitement degree was evaluated. The cardiac potentials of 15 volunteers were measured while playing games in a model recreation facility. In all the subjects, the heart rates increased significantly for 30 seconds after winning a "big bonus" game (p < 0.05 vs baseline). In contrast, those who did not win a "big bonus" game showed no significant changes. When winning the second "big bonus" game, the heart rates increased significantly, compared with the first winning (p < 0.05). Furthermore, no significant difference was observed between normal mode (big sound) and silent mode (no sound) when winning a bonus game. In conclusion, it was suggested winning a "big bonus" game, not sound, induce the mental excitement and heart rate be a useful quantitative index for evaluation of the mental excitement of players.</p>
