Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention manages a pachinko game machine by controlling the number of out balls and the number of safe balls signal output from the pachinko game machine, as well as the number of out balls and safe balls signal. It is possible to perform calculations based on the lending amount signal output from ball lending machines installed in one-to-one correspondence with pachinko game machines, and to control the termination of the pachinko game machines based on the calculation results. This invention relates to a management device for a pachinko game machine.

(Prior art) In pachinko halls, pachinko game machines are used where the number of differential balls (difference between out balls and safe balls) reaches a predetermined stop setting value so that many players can enjoy profits equally. When such occurrence occurs, the continuation of the game at the pachinko game machine is prohibited and the game is discontinued.

In order to manage such stopping, conventional pachinko game machine management devices generally perform the control based on the counting results of the number of out balls signal and the number of safe balls signal output from the Bachinoko game machine side. Providing a subtraction means for calculating the difference number of balls of the pachinko game machine, and providing a stop means for generating a stop signal when the difference number of balls obtained by such fJ calculation reaches a predetermined stop setting value, In response to the stop signal, the supply of pachinko balls is stopped or the power to the pachinko ball launcher is cut off, thereby prohibiting play on the pachinko game machine.

(Invention or Problem Solving Section 8) If pachinko game machines are banned due to suspension as mentioned above, the number of operating game machines in pachinko halls will decrease, so it is necessary to open them as soon as possible. Desirable for increasing sales of Batinhu Hall. However, in general, pachinko game machines that have been discontinued are highly popular among players as there is a high possibility that they will be discontinued again, and it would be unfair to many players in pachinko halls if they were left open as is. There is a risk that it will give you a feeling. Further, if a game is played by bringing in pachinko balls obtained from another pachinko game machine to a pachinko game machine that has been opened after the pachinko game is stopped, there is a possibility that the loss on the pachinko hall side will increase.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to make a pachinko game machine that has been discontinued available only to players who have the right to release it and who have received pachinko balls of a predetermined value or more in bulk. To provide a management device for a pachinko game machine that can reliably open the pachinko game machine, thereby suppressing losses on the pachinko hall side.

[Configuration of the Invention (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a pachinko game m
management of the out ball number signal and safe ball number signal output from the pachinko game machine side, as well as the rental high number signal output from the ball lending machine installed so as to correspond to the pachinko game machine. In the apparatus, the subtraction means sequentially calculates the difference between the number of out balls and the number of safe balls indicated by the man-hour signals as the number of difference balls, and the number of difference balls obtained by the calculation is a predetermined number. a stop means for outputting a stop signal for switching the pachinko game machine to a stop state and a stop lending command signal for switching the ball lending machine to a stopped state when a stop setting value of is reached; a lending stop canceling means for canceling the lending stop command signal output state by the stopping means when an open command signal is output in response to an operation; and a lending amount exceeding a predetermined standard value from the ball lending machine after this release. The configuration is such that a stop canceling means is provided for canceling the stop signal output state by the stop means when the signal is output.

(Function) When a pachinko game machine is playing, the number of out balls f2 and the number of safe balls signals are output from the batinoko game machine side, and the subtraction means calculates the number of out balls indicated by the above man-hour signals. and the number of safe balls are sequentially calculated as the difference number of balls. When the difference in the number of balls calculated in this way reaches the stop setting value, a stop signal and a lending stop command signal are output from the stop means, and the stop signal causes the pachinko game machine to enter the stop state. At the same time, the ball lending machine corresponding to the pachinko game machine is switched to a non-functional state in response to the lending stop command signal.

In such a situation, if you want to release the pachinko game machine that has been canceled to a specific player who has the right to release it, when that player arrives at a position where he or she can play on the pachinko game machine, the pachinko game machine will be released. The staff in charge on the hall side gives an opening command signal to the pachinko game machine to the rental stop canceling means. Then, the lending stop canceling means releases the lending stop command signal output state by the stopping means, and the ball lending machine corresponding to the pachinko game machine returns to a normal state in which it can perform lending operations. Thereafter, when the player receives pachinko balls lent out from the ball lending machine that are equal to or greater than the predetermined standard value, and the ball lending machine outputs a lending amount signal that is equal to or greater than the reference value, the suspension release means The pachinko game machine is released from the stop signal output state, and the pachinko game machine is thereby released.

FIG. 1 shows a pachinko game machine 1. Of the electrical configurations of the ball lending machine 2 and the central control computer 3, only the parts related to the gist of the present invention are shown by combinations of functional blocks. However, although the centralized control computer 3 is actually designed to centrally manage a large number of pachinko game machines 1 and ball rental machines 2, for convenience of explanation, in FIG. ] and the functions related to the ball lending machine 2 are shown in a block diagram.

That is, the pachinko game machine 1 outputs a counting pulse P1 or 1 pulse as an out ball number signal every time 10 out balls are generated, and a safe ball is output every time 10 safe balls are generated. One pulse of counting pulse P2 as a number signal is output. Further, as described above, the ball lending machine 2 outputs one amount counting pulse Pm every time a pachinko ball lending operation worth 100 yen is performed.

Now, in the following, each of the counting pulses P1°P2. P
The central management computer 3 that receives m will be described.

2] is an out ball counting unit which receives a counting pulse P1 indicating the number of out balls via an input unit 22 and a transfer gate 23. This is initialized through a reset terminal R, and is inputted. The counting pulses P1 are sequentially added and the addition result is output as a numerical signal N indicating the number of out balls after the above-mentioned initialization. Note that the transfer gate 23 allows a signal to pass only when a high level signal is applied to its gate terminal.

24, the counting pulse P2 indicating the number of safe balls is sent to the human power section 2.
The safe ball received through 2 is the bottom part, and this is initialized through the reset terminal R, and the input word number/malus P2 is added sequentially and the addition result is initialized as described above. It is then output as a numerical signal N2 indicating the number of Cef balls.

Reference numeral 25 denotes a subtraction section which is a subtraction means, which subtracts the number of safe balls indicated by the numerical signal N2 from the number of out balls indicated by the numerical signal N1, and sends the subtraction result to each counting section 21.2.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a stop setting value storage section, which stores an arbitrarily changeable stop setting value Nz (negative [1). The set value Nz is compared with the numerical signal N3 from the subtraction section 25, and Nz≧N
3, that is, when the difference in the number of balls of the pachinko game machine 1 reaches the stop setting value Nz, a pulse stop signal Sz is output. Reference numeral 28 denotes a signal holding section, which holds the stop signal Sz during the period from when the stop signal Sz is output until it is initialized through the reset terminal R.
It is configured to hold the output state of z. And such a signal is maintained! The stroke 1F signal SZ output from the j section 28 is fed back to the Bachinoko game machine, and the Pachinko game machine 1 is configured to be switched to the above-mentioned stop state in response to this feedback. It has become.

Reference numeral 29 denotes a driving setting value storage section in which a driving setting [Na that can be arbitrarily changed is stored, and in this embodiment, the driving setting value Na is set to zero. Reference numeral 30 denotes a comparison unit for detecting the driving state, which compares the driving setting value Na with the numerical signal N3 from the subtracting unit 25, and determines when Na≦N3, that is, whether the pachinko game machine 1 Driving state (when the number of out balls or the number of safe balls is 1! and the difference in the number of balls is 0 or more) 1 level (a state in which the driving signal Sa consisting of number 2 is output) , In other states, it is assumed that the Koleheru Confucian code is output.
The output of the comparator 30 is inverted by Ishi \ 3] and then applied to the gate terminal of the transfer gate 23.

32 is the amount counting pulse Pm indicating the lending amount of the ball lending machine 2.
This is a loan amount counting section that receives the input amount through the input section 33 and the transfer gate 34, and is initialized through the reset terminal R, and sequentially adds the input amount counting pulse Pm and calculates the addition result. It is output as a numerical signal N□ indicating the loan amount by the ball lending machine 2. The transfer gate 34 is also configured to allow a signal to pass only when a high level signal is applied to the gate terminal, and the output of an AND circuit 41, which will be described later, is applied to the gate terminal. It has become.

Reference numeral 35 denotes a standard value storage unit, which stores a predetermined standard value Nm (in this embodiment, fii equivalent to 1,000 yen, for example). Reference numeral 36 denotes a comparator section which is a stop canceling means, which is connected to the numerical signal N4 and base II! Compare the reef value Nm, N
In the state of m≦N4, when a pachinko ball of 1000 yen or more is rented from the Maramari ball rental machine 2, the state in which the stop cancellation signal Sm consisting of a high level signal is output is added, and in other states, it is a low level. It is designed to exhibit a state in which a signal is output.

The output of the comparison section 36 is the output of the loan amount counting section 3.
2 and each reset terminal R of the signal holding section 28, as well as a reset terminal R of an open signal holding section 37, which will be described later.

Reference numeral 38 is a release means that outputs a reset pulse RP which is a release command signal that rises when operated by a pachinko hall employee, and the reset pulse RP is used to reset each of the out ball counting section 2] and the safe ball hunting section 24. The signal is applied to the terminal R and the open signal holding section 37. The open signal holding section 37 is configured to maintain the output state of the open signal SO, which is a high-level signal, for a period from when the reset pulse RP is output until it is initialized through the reset terminal R. .

The output of the open number holding section '37 is connected to the inverter 39.
Transfer gate 40 serving as an opening stop release means via
and one input terminal of the AND circuit 41. Transfer gate 4 above
0 is for passing the stop signal Sz from the signal holding section 28 while receiving a high level signal at its gate terminal, and the passing signal is transmitted to the ball lending machine 2 as the lending stop command signal sy. It has become so. Then, in response to the transmission of such lending stop command signal sy, the ball lending 1
12 or can be switched to the above-mentioned functional stop state. Note that the output from the signal holding section 28 is applied to the other input terminal of the AND circuit 41.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained.

When a game is being played on the pachinko game machine 1,
Out ball counting unit 2 which outputs counting pulses P1 and P2 from the pachinko game machine 1 and adds counting pulse Pl.
1 outputs a numerical signal N1 indicating the number of out balls, and a numerical signal N2 indicating the number of safe balls is output from the safe ball counting section 24 which adds counting pulse P2. As a result, the subtraction unit 25 performs an operation of subtracting the number of safe balls indicated by the numerical signal N2 from the number of out balls indicated by the numerical signal N1, and transfers the operation result to the pachinko game machine 1.
It is output as a numerical signal N indicating the difference in the number of balls.

In this case, when the numerical signal N3 from the subtraction unit 25 is greater than or equal to zero, that is, when the pachinko game machine 1 is in the input state, the input signal Sa (high level signal) is output from the comparison unit 30.
The input signal Sa is inverted to a low level signal by the inverter 31 and applied to the gate terminal of the transfer gate 23. For this reason, the transfer gate 23 comes to prevent the counting pulse P1 from passing, and therefore, during the period when the pachinko game machine 1 is in the hitting state, the counting pulse P1 by the out ball counting section 21 is blocked.
The addition operation of Pachinko game machine 1 is stopped.
Regarding the number of pachinko balls entered into the hitting state by the player, this will not be reflected in the calculation result of the difference number of balls in the subtraction unit 25. As a result, pachinko game machine 1
When a player ends up playing games with two or more game names and ends up stopping, the situation in which the number of pachinko balls acquired by the player becomes greater than the stopping setting MNz is prevented.

Now, when the numerical signal N3 is a negative value, that is, when the player has acquired a pachinko ball, the comparator 30 does not output the input signal Sa.
The transfer gate 23 allows the counting pulse Plo') to pass through. In this state, when the number of pachinko balls acquired by the player increases and the difference number of balls calculated by the subtraction unit 25 increases in the negative direction, and the numerical signal N3 reaches the set stop value Nz, Since the comparator 27 outputs the stop signal Sz and the signal holding section 28 holds this, the pachinko game machine 1 is switched to the stop state based on the stop signal Sz.

Further, at this time, since the opening means 38 is in a non-operating state, the opening signal holding section 37 is in a state in which it has stopped outputting the opening signal SO, that is, in a state in which it outputs a low level signal, and the gate terminal of the transfer gate 40 A high level signal inverted by an inverter 39 is applied to the inverter 39 . Therefore, when the stop signal Sz is output as described above, the stop signal Sz that has passed through the transfer gate 40 is transmitted to the ball lending machine 2 as the lending stop command signal sy, and the ball lending machine 2 is switched to a non-functional state.

Furthermore, in the state in which the ball lending machine 2 is stopped, the low level signal from the open signal holding section 37 is applied to one input terminal of the AND circuit 41.
A low level signal is output from the AND circuit 41, and the transfer gate 34 is switched to a state where the passage of the signal is blocked.

Now, from such a state, when the pachinko hall employee operates the opening means 38 in order to open the pachinko game machine 1 which is in the stopped state to a playing state, the opening means 38
Since the reset pulse RP is output from , the out ball counting section 21 and the safe ball counting section 24 are initialized, and the open signal holding section 37 maintains the state in which the open signal So (high level signal) is output. become.

Then, since a low level signal is applied to the gate terminal of the transfer gate 40, this prevents the stop signal Sz from passing, and the output state of the lending stop command signal sy to the ball lending machine 2 is canceled. The ball lending machine 2 is returned to a state in which it can perform ball lending operations. Further, the AND circuit 41 has an open signal So and a stop signal S at both input terminals.
Since it receives z and outputs a high level signal,
The transfer gate 34, which receives the high level signal at its gate terminal, allows the signal to pass through.

For this reason, if the player or pachinko game machine 1 is in a discontinued state,
100 which is the predetermined standard value from the ball rental fi2 corresponding to
When a pachinko ball of 0 yen or more is lent, the amount counting pulse Pm output from the ball lending machine 2 passes through the transfer gate 34 and is given to the lent amount counting unit 32, and the lent amount is calculated. The counting unit 32 outputs a numerical signal N1 of a value equivalent to 1000 yen or more. As a result, this numerical signal N4 and the standard value value N from the standard value storage unit 35
A discontinuation cancellation signal Sm is now output from the comparison unit 36 that compares m, and the loan amount counting unit 3
2. The signal holding section 28 and the open signal holding section 37 are initialized. As a result of such initialization, the signal holding unit 2
The output state of the stop signal Sz by 8 is released, thereby opening the pachinko game machine 1 to a playable state, and at the same time, the output of the release signal So from the release signal holding section 37 is stopped and the state is returned to the initial state. It will be done.

In short, according to the present embodiment described above, when the pachinko game machine 1 is discontinued and the game is prohibited, the ball lending operation by the ball lending machine 2 corresponding to the pachinko game machine 1 is also prohibited. When the ball lending machine 2 is out of function,
It is canceled when the reset pulse RP is inputted by the staff in charge at the pachinko hall side, and in this state, when the player receives pachinko balls of 1,000 yen or more from the ball rental machine 2, the above-mentioned [Pachinko game machine] will be made available.

Therefore, when a pachinko game machine 1 that has been discontinued is opened to a specific player who has the right to open it, when that player arrives at a position where he or she can play on the pachinko game machine 1, the pachinko hall side When the person in charge of the pachinko game machine 1 inputs the reset pulse RP for the pachinko game machine 1, the player who receives the loan of a large amount of pachinko balls by paying a lump sum of 1,000 yen or more for the pachinko game machine 1 It can only be opened automatically.

Therefore, there is no risk of giving players a sense of unfairness as would be the case if a pachinko game machine 1 that has been discontinued is randomly released, and it is also possible to play by bringing in pachinko balls obtained from other pachinko game machines. can be reliably prevented from occurring,
This eliminates the risk of increased losses on the pachinko hall side. In addition, players who do not have the right to open the pachinko game machine are at risk of receiving unnecessary balls from the ball lending machine 2 that is compatible with the pachinko game machine 1.

A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and only the differences from the first embodiment will be described below.

That is, first, in FIG. 5, the central management computer 3'
is the counting pulse p1. from the pachinko game machine]. The stop signal S is generated by the same calculation as in the first embodiment based on p2.
z is continuously output, and the stop signal Sz is given to a circuit adapter 43 in a call lamp unit 42 installed above the pachinko game machine 1. Incidentally, the output state of the above-mentioned stop signal Sz by the central management computer 3' is initialized in response to the operation of an opening means (not shown) on the central management computer 3' side. Further, the central control computer 3' calculates the loan amount of the ball lending machine 2 based on the amount counting pulse Pm from the ball lending machine 2.

The circuit adapter 43 is connected to the central management computer 3.
In addition to the stop signal Sz from ', the amount counting pulse Pm from the ball lending machine 2 is received, and the circuit configuration is as shown in FIG.

That is, in FIG. 4, the latch circuit 44, which is the stopping means, is configured to launch the stopping signal Sz when the stopping signal Sz is input manually, and the latched state J is released through the reset terminal R. It has become. In this case, the stop signal Sz latched by the latch circuit 44 is given to the corresponding pachinko game machine, thereby switching the pachinko game machine to the stop state.

Further, the stop signal S2 latched by the latch circuit 44 is
The signal is input to a data terminal of a D flip-flop 45 and a transfer gate 46 which is a lending stop canceling means.

This transfer gate 46 passes the stop signal Sz while receiving a high level signal at its gate terminal, and the passing signal is transmitted to the ball lending machine 2 as a lending stop command signal sy. In response to this, the ball lending machine 2 is configured to be switched to a non-functional state. The gate terminal of the transfer gate 46 is supplied with the power W of the D-flip flop 45 via an inverter 47.

M: Stop signal Sz from central control computer 3'
The monostable multivibrator 49, which receives the signal through the inverter 48, supplies its output to the clock terminal CK of the D flip-flop 45 through the OR circuit 50.

The lending amount counting unit 51 equipped with a reset terminal R is a ball lending amount a1.
The amount counting pulse Pm from 2 is transferred to the transfer gate 52.
The ball lending machine 2 sequentially adds up the input amount counting pulses Pm and outputs the addition result as a numerical signal Nm indicating the lending amount by the ball lending machine 2. The comparator 53, which is a cancellation canceling means, compares the numerical signal N4 with the standard iu value Nm (value equivalent to 1000 yen) stored in the standard quota value storage 54, and generates a high level signal when Nm≦N4. exhibiting a state in which a termination cancellation signal Sm consisting of
In other states, a low level signal is output.

The output of the comparison circuit 53 is applied to each reset terminal R of the latch circuit 44 and the loan amount Jt, and is also applied to the clock terminal of the D flip-flop 45 via a delay circuit 55 and an OR circuit 50. It is designed to be given to TCK.

According to the above configuration, when the stop signal Sz from the central control computer 3' is given to the circuit adapter 43 in the call lamp unit 42, the latch circuit 44
starts to latch the stop signal Sz, thereby switching the pachinko game machine 1 to the stop state. Also, at this time, as will be clear from the description below, since the D flip-flop 45 is converting the low level signal, the inverter 47 inverts the signal to the gate terminal of the transfer gate 46! 1 level signal is given. Therefore, when the stop signal Sz is latched as described above, the stop signal Sz that has passed through the transfer gate 46 is given to the ball S2 machine 2 as the lending stop command signal sy, and the ball lending machine 2 Switched to a non-functional state. Furthermore, when the ball lending machine 2 is in a state where its functions are stopped, a low level signal from the D7 rethop 70 knob 45 is applied to the gate terminal of the transfer gate 52.
The transfer gate 52 is switched to a state where it blocks passage of the signal.

In this state, when a pachinko hall employee operates a release means (not shown) on the side of the central control computer 3' in order to open the pachinko game machine 1, which is in the stopped state, to a playing state, the central control computer 3' stops outputting the stop signal Sz. Then, the stop signal S
Depending on the falling of z, the monostable multivibrator 49
is triggered through the inverter 48, so the input to the clock terminal CK of the D flip-flop 45 starts to rise. At this time, the stop signal Sz(
Since the D flip-flop 45 outputs a high level signal, a low level signal is applied to the gate terminal of the transfer gate 46. For this reason, transfer gate 4
6 now blocks the passage of the stop signal Sz, and the ball loan i
The output state of the lending stop command signal sy for the ball lending machine 2 is released, and the ball lending machine 2 is thereby returned to a state in which it can perform the ball lending operation 1J. Also, the output from the D flip-flop 45 is
The transfer gate 52, which receives the level signal at its gate terminal, allows the signal to pass through.

For this reason, the pachinko game machine 1 where the player is in a discontinued state
1000 which is the predetermined standard value from the ball rental machine 2 corresponding to
If you receive a rental of pachinko balls of yen or more, please use the ball rental machine 2.
The amount count/(Rus Pm output from the transfer gate 52 passes through the transfer gate 52 and is given to the loan amount counting unit 51, and the loan amount counting unit 51 outputs a numerical signal Nm of a value equivalent to 1000 yen or more. As a result, this numerical signal N and the reference value value N from the reference value value storage section 54
A stop cancellation signal Sm is now output from the comparator 53 that compares m, and the launch circuit 44
And the loan amount counting unit 51 is initialized. As a result of the initialization of the latch circuit 44, the output state of the stop signal Sz by the latch circuit 44 is canceled, thereby opening the pachinko game machine to a playable state.

Furthermore, when the stop cancellation signal Sm is output, the input to the clock terminal CK of the D flip-flop 45 starts to rise after the delay time set in the delay circuit 55 has elapsed. At this time, since the data terminal of the D flip-flop 45 is given a low level signal from the latch circuit 44 initialized as described above, the D flip-flop 45 outputs a low level signal. Therefore, the transfer gate 46 has a node at its gate terminal.
This is contrary to the state in which the termination signal is received, that is, the initial state in which the termination signal Sz is allowed to pass.

Therefore, this embodiment configured in this manner also has the same effects as the first embodiment, and in particular, in this embodiment, the circuit adapter 43 is used as a component for obtaining the above-mentioned effects. Since it is arranged in the call lamp unit 42, there is an advantage that a conventional one can be used as the central control computer 3'.

FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 show a third embodiment of the present invention which achieves the same effects as the second embodiment described above, and only the parts different from the second embodiment will be described below.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, this embodiment uses a circuit adapter 43 having the same configuration as the circuit adapter 43 in the second embodiment.
' is provided in the ball rental machine 2,
In this circuit adapter 43', the input terminal of the transfer gate 52 is directly connected to the output terminal of the coin verification mechanism 14 in the ball lending machine 2, and the output terminal of the transfer gate 45 is connected to the control section in the ball lending machine 2] 2 input terminal.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, as is clear from the above explanation, the number of out balls signal and the number of safe balls signal output from the pachinko game machine and the number of safe balls signal are in one-to-one correspondence with the pachinko game machine. Management of a pachinko game machine that calculates the income and expenditure of a pachinko game machine based on a rental high signal output from an installed ball lending machine, and also controls the termination of the pachinko game machine based on the calculation results. The device is capable of automatically releasing a canceled pachinko game machine only to players who have the right to release the machine and who have received a loan of pachinko balls of a predetermined amount or more at once, without requiring any human intervention. This provides excellent effects such as suppressing losses on the pachinko hall side.
