Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a card-type pachinko machine, and more particularly to a card-type pachinko machine that is capable of storing and displaying increase/decrease factors such as the number of game balls in a card storage device.

The basic structure of the card-type pachinko machine was developed by the applicant in a patent application filed in 1973.
It is proposed in No. 0-154787. This is because the actual balls actually fired by the player are sealed in a certain number of pachinko machines and recycled, and the number of balls held by the player at the beginning of the game, the number of balls hit, the number of foul balls, the number of winning balls, and so on. All increases and decreases in pleasure associated with pachinko games, such as the number of converted prize balls and the number of prize balls to be provided to the player after the game is stopped or finished, are converted into mathematical signals and calculated electronically. By simply carrying around a card with the signals memorized, there is no need for the cow to touch the real ball, which tends to be bulky.

Of course, this card-type pachinko machine can also be applied to coin-type pachinko machines in which players compete to increase or decrease the number of coins.

However, in conventional card-type pachinko machines, information such as the number of balls and coins cannot be directly displayed on the card itself, which is magnetically recorded and punched. I had to go through it. In other words, record the information (number of balls) (purchase rental balls)
While walking to the pachinko machine, or from one pachinko machine to the prize exchange, I was unable to determine the number of balls.

The present invention solves such inconveniences by providing an output that provides increase/decrease element data such as the number of game balls calculated by the central processing unit of a pachinko machine to a semiconductor storage device connected to a display device of a card. It is characterized by the installation of a device.

The invention will now be described with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows a card used in a pachinko machine according to the present invention, which has a magnetic storage device 3, a semiconductor storage device 3, and a display device 3. The display device has, for example, a 5-digit liquid crystal display S, and the game balls stored in the semiconductor storage device 3 are controlled by a control device 7 driven by the output of a read command switch (touch switch) B. Display numerical data numerically. The key is these driving batteries.

The semiconductor memory device N3 is composed of, for example, an up/down counter g, and is an input device that provides addition/subtraction inputs to this counter. The display device 1 is constructed of a semiconductor device as shown in FIG. That is, the input device consists of an addition light-receiving element 10 and a subtraction light-receiving element // (the pixel element is also composed of a phototransistor, for example), and when a light pulse is applied to either of the two resistors, the tuning circuit / 2
．． /3, the stored contents of the counter g increase or decrease by -. The stored data is given to the display device via the driver by the read command output RD of the read command switch 6.

However, as shown in Figure 3, pachinko machines have card/
An input/output device 15 for exchanging information with the magnetic recording device A, and an output device 6/B for giving signals to the semiconductor storage device 30 and the manual device 9 are provided. The human output device @'/S consists of a well-known reader/writer having the function of writing and reading from the magnetic strip, and the output cap/6 is an addition light-receiving element io on the card/side.

It includes an addition light-emitting element /7 corresponding to the subtraction light-receiving element /l, and a subtraction light-emitting element /g (for example, composed of a light emitting diode). In other words, the central processing unit (central processing unit) with a microcomputer structure provided in the control device 20 of the pachinko machine (
Cpu), 2z is for giving game ball count data to a light emitting element (light emitting diode), and converting the data thus converted into an optical signal into an electric signal by a light receiving element (phototransistor), and giving it to the counter g. be.

The calculation of the game ball number data in the control device 2Q is performed according to the block diagram shown in FIG. 4. In other words, the control device 2o operates the arithmetic processing unit 23 by specifying a program stored in advance in the program memory of the CPU 2/ to control each part of the pachinko machine, and also transfers data to and from the inserted card. Also, the game result data of the pachinko machine is processed using the data memory 2. This processing mode is explained by the card processing mechanism shown in FIG.
The structure and operation of 2S will be explained as follows.

When the card/ is inserted into the card insertion slot 2B, the card insertion detector near detects this and inputs the detection signal to the CPU 2/ via the card transport receiver 2g. At this time, the CPUu/ drives the card feed motor 30 via the driver rotor to rotate the card feed roller 3/,
The card / is pulled into the card passage 32. As a result, when the card / comes to the human output device / left of the pachinko machine and the output device / 6 position, the fixed position detector 33 detects this and inputs the detection signal to the CPU, 2 / via the receiver, 2gf. do.

The CPU 2/ stops the motor 30 via the driver 7, and drives the insertion blocking solenoid 3 to completely prevent the subsequent insertion of the card/.

Thereafter, the CPU 2/ reads out the game ball number data stored in the magnetic storage device of the card 1 via the input/output device 15, and stores it in the game ball number data memory area of the data memory 2'1.

Of course, writing of game ball count data to the magnetic storage device is done in advance by a ball lending machine or other pachinko machine.
The thus read and stored game ball count data is simultaneously displayed on the ball count display device 3B via the left side of the driver 3. In this state, when the player operates the start switch 37 provided on the outer frame of the pachinko machine, the command input receiver 3g
A start command is given to the CPUu/ via the pachinko machine, and the pachinko machine becomes ready to play.

When you start playing, one ball detector 3 is activated every time you shoot a game ball.
9 subtracts "1" from the game ball number data in the data memory 2, and when this data becomes rOJ, the game ends. At this time, the CPU drives the card loading lens yo to pull up the fixed position detector 33 from the card passage 3.2, and when this detector 33 turns off, the motor 30
Fully drive and take card l into card pool l/. Note that 11.2 is an intake confirmation detector, and its output stops the motor 30.

On the other hand, when a game ball enters the winning slot during a game, the safe ball detector 3 detects this, and the CPUI inputs the number of winning balls (for example, 15 balls) into the game ball number data in the data memory 2'l via the receiver 3g2. ).

Also, if a game ball enters the out hole, it will be detected by the out ball detector.
z+ is detected and the CPU 2/ is processed in the same manner as /- to the data memory via the bar 3g. Accumulate to 2g.

In this way, if the calculation result of the game ball number data obtained based on the detection output of the safe ball detector 3 and the profit data from the out ball detector 1 and the above-mentioned batted ball detector 39 exceeds a predetermined number of batted balls, , CPU, 2/ causes the stop display device 3f provided on the surface of the pachinko machine to light up via the driver 29.

However, if the game is canceled in this way, or if the player operates the payment switch lI, the CPU2/
The game ball count data stored in the data memory cog is given to the card's magnetic storage device via the output device/S, and the same data is given to the card/'s magnetic storage device via the Zenzan power station/B. A human-powered device? give to In other words, an electrical signal based on the game ball count data is given to the light emitting output device/6 via the light modulation section Gua, and is sent to the addition/subtraction projection element/7 depending on the increase/decrease in the number of balls at the start of the game and at the time of settlement. Optical element 1. !
r generates light.

Therefore, the light receiving element 10 on the card/side. // operates the up/down counter g in response to this light pulse, and stores the same game ball number data as the magnetic storage device g. Note that this storage is executed on the condition that there is a detection output from the card presence/absence detector dag (FIGS. 4 and 5).

Thereafter, the CPU 2/ de-energizes the insertion blocking solenoid 3'1 and drives the motor 30 in reverse to return the card/ to the player's hand from the insertion slot 2B.

Although the above has been described with reference to an example of the card insertion mechanism and control device of a pachinko machine, cards are transported and data is exchanged in the same manner in ball lending machines, payment machines, and the like. For example, in the case of a ball lending machine, data on the number of game balls corresponding to the amount of money inserted by the player is stored in the magnetic storage device 3 and the semiconductor storage device 3, and then sent and issued to the player's hand. In the case of a Saida payment machine, when you insert the card you brought from the Ministry of Game and Entertainment into the card slot, the payment machine reads the game ball count data stored in the card's magnetic storage device and types this into the receipt. Once the card is returned to the player's hands, the player can retrieve the card. The player can exchange for prizes by going to the prize exchange office with the receipt.

In addition, although the above explanation assumes the number of pachinko balls as an increase/decrease factor, it is clear that this can also be used as the number of coins. Of course, it can be stored in a magnetic storage device.

As described above, according to the present invention, an increase/decrease factor such as the number of game balls can be stored in both the magnetic arrangement λC device of the card and the semiconductor storage device, and the storage contents of the semiconductor storage device can be stored in the display device of the card. 7. Since the card is displayed, the player can check the stored contents at any time when the card is returned to him/her. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the feeling of anxiety for the player when using the card, and there is no need to provide a special reading device to confirm the data.

If the card has only a magnetic storage device, a separate readout device is required to read the stored contents, but according to the present invention, data can be displayed on the card alone. A simple output device is sufficient as the equipment provided on the pachinko machine side. In other words, the card's semiconductor storage device only needs to be given information from a pachinko-like central processing unit unilaterally, which simplifies the configuration of its output device. In particular, data can be written more easily and reliably by using electrical-to-optical and optical-to-electrical conversion devices.
