DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a game control box.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A game control box of this type is conventionally known as shown in FIG. In the figure,
The main board 1 that controls the game contents of the pachinko gaming machine is sealed in a predetermined board box 2 so that it cannot be easily opened, and the board box 2 prevents illegal work on the main board 1. A wide cutout 2a is formed in the longitudinal side wall of the board box 2, and the cables 3, 3 are led out of the main board 1 through the cutout 2a, and the other end side is connected to another sub-board or the like. Is done. The cable 3 is fitted and connected using a predetermined connector on the side of the notch 2a on the main board 1, and is detachable as required for maintenance or the like.

[0003]

In the case of collecting detailed game information such as the number of winning prizes for the winning opening, the number of payout prize balls, a gaming state during a big hit or a change in probability, the game information is managed on a main board. The main board is connected to an external device such as a personal computer using a predetermined cable, and the external device collects game information based on the same signal sent from the main board. .

When the main board is connected to the external device with a cable, the main board may be fitted and connected using a predetermined connector at a side edge of the main board as described above, and may be led out through a cutout of the board box. It is possible. Indeed, with such a configuration, the cable can be easily attached and detached, so that the working efficiency is improved. However, collecting the above game information is for testing purposes only, and is not usually performed.Therefore, by adopting a configuration in which cables can be easily connected, it is possible to invite a malicious act to the wrongdoing. It could be.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a game control box capable of effectively preventing a malicious person from cheating when managing and outputting various game information to the outside. With the goal.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is applied to a pachinko game machine for launching a game by firing a game ball into a game area provided with a winning opening. A game control box for controlling the contents of the game, a board box having a cable outlet and enclosing a predetermined board, and a predetermined box near the cable outlet when enclosed in the board box. A main board that has a connection terminal for detachably connecting a cable and detachably connects an external device inside the board box, and outputs game information corresponding to a prize to the winning port through the connection terminal. And a configuration including:

In the invention according to claim 1 configured as described above, the main board for controlling the content of the game is enclosed in a board box having a cable outlet, and a predetermined board is provided near the cable outlet. The cable can be detached.
When collecting game information for a test purpose, an external device is connected through a connection terminal provided on a main board inside the board box. And, in this state, when a game ball is fired in the game area and the fired game ball wins a winning opening,
The main board outputs game information according to the winning through the connection terminal. Accordingly, the game information is collected on the external device side.

That is, a cable can be connected near the cable outlet of the board box on the main board.
It is planned that the cable will be properly detached and attached at the store where the pachinko machine is installed due to maintenance or other reasons. On the other hand, the significance of connecting the main board and the external device as described above is to collect various game information in a test sense. Therefore, the connection terminal for connecting to the external device is not usually used, and even if it is arranged inside the board box, no particular inconvenience occurs, and this also eliminates illegal acts by a malicious person. become.

Here, the main board outputs the game information in accordance with the winning in the winning opening. As an example of a specific structure, the following structure can be adopted. For example, in the case of outputting game information relating to the number of winning balls or the number of payout balls, a predetermined detection switch for detecting a winning ball is incorporated in a winning opening. Then, the switch output of the detection switch may be input to the main board, and the main board may transmit a predetermined signal each time a winning is detected based on the input. Of course, any signal may be used as long as it indicates that a prize has been won, and various forms are widely applicable and are not particularly limited.

[0010] In many pachinko gaming machines, a plurality of winning ports are provided in the gaming area, but the present invention is applicable even in such a case. In this case, similarly, a configuration may be adopted in which a detection switch is incorporated in each winning opening, a switch output is input to the main board, and a signal is transmitted each time a winning is detected on the main board. Further, at this time, the signal may be changed according to the winning opening where the winning has been achieved. For example, in the case of expressing an 8-bit digital signal, 256 bit patterns can be theoretically expressed. Therefore, a predetermined bit pattern is allocated to each winning opening in advance, and the winning opening having the winning is allocated. May be selected and transmitted.

Of course, the game information only needs to be information according to the winning of the winning opening, and is not limited to the number of winnings or the number of payout balls as described above. For example, as seen in recent digital pachinko game machines, etc., when a jackpot occurs due to a winning timing for a predetermined winning opening or when a probability fluctuates after the end of the jackpot, it is during a big hit or during a probability fluctuation May be output as game information.

The connection terminal for connecting to the external device on the main board may be any terminal that is arranged inside when the main board is sealed in the board box so that the external device can be detachably connected. Various forms can be applied to the structure and the installation position. For example, as a specific structure, a structure using a predetermined connector or a structure fixed by soldering may be used. The installation position may be set on the main board on the opposite side farthest from the cable outlet, or may be hidden behind other electronic components on the main board when facing the cable outlet. May be installed.

In actually connecting the external device to the main board, the board box is opened by a predetermined inspection organization to expose the connection terminal, and the connection terminal and the external device are connected by a cable. Good, but it may be configured to be able to connect more efficiently. For example, one end of a predetermined cable is connected to the connection terminal at the manufacturing stage only for the inspection target machine, and the other end is led out of the cable outlet to the outside of the board box. It may be used to connect to an external device. As another example, the board box near the connection terminal is configured to be partially destructible regardless of whether the machine is an inspection target machine. Then, the portion may be destroyed by an inspection organization to expose the connection terminal, and the connection terminal and an external device may be connected by a cable. in this case,
If the substrate box is destroyed at the store and illegally modified, it can be easily discriminated visually from the outside.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, when various types of game information are managed by the main board and externally output, the connection on the main board to which the external device to which the information is to be output is detachably connected. Since the terminals are arranged inside the board box, it is possible to provide a game control box capable of effectively preventing improper conduct by a malicious person.

[0015]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a pachinko gaming machine to which a game control box according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a rear view of the pachinko gaming machine. In the figure, when an operation handle 20 installed on the lower right of the front of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is rotated, a predetermined drive motor is energized, and a game ball is launched almost continuously using the drive force of the drive motor. Is done. Then, the launched game balls follow the guide rail 31 formed in a substantially arcuate shape on the board surface of the game board 30 to form the game area 3.
2 is derived.

In the middle of the game area 32, a start chucker 33 is provided.
When the game ball derived to 2 wins the start chucker 33, the display content of the liquid crystal display unit 34 installed above the start chucker 33 changes. Three symbols are displayed side by side on the display screen of the liquid crystal display unit 34. As a result of the predetermined jackpot determination process, when it is determined that the symbol has been lost, the three symbols are not aligned. Stop. On the other hand, when it is determined that the jackpot has been determined, the three symbols are aligned and stopped, and then the attacker 35, which is an electric winning port, is opened. The ball is paid out. Of course, the small winning opening 3 disposed above the display screen of the start chucker 33 and the liquid crystal display unit 34
6, small winning opening 3 arranged on the left and right of attacker 35
Prize balls are paid out in the same manner for winning a prize on 7,38.

The above-described jackpot determination processing, display control processing of the liquid crystal display unit 34, and opening control processing of the attacker 35 are performed by the main board 50 enclosed in the board box 40 installed on the back side of the game board 30. Done by Of course, in the present embodiment, a game control box is constituted by the board box 40 and the main board 50. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the substrate box 40 in which the main substrate 50 is sealed, and FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view.

In the figure, a substrate box 40 is composed of a rectangular thin dish-shaped case 41 and a lid 42 for covering the opening surface of the case 41. A wide cutout 41a is formed in one longitudinal side wall of the case 41, and a similar cutout 42a is formed in the lid 42 so as to correspond to the cutout 41a. In addition, four plate-shaped frame members 41b are formed so as to protrude outward from the side wall edge opposite to the notch 41a of the case 41, and the lid 42 extends from the longitudinal side edge. The four engaging claws 42b are formed by bending the tip of the provided strip piece outward. Further, a band-shaped lock plate 41c is formed outwardly from the middle of the short side wall of the case 41, and the plate-shaped frame 41 is formed upward from the middle of the side wall on the opposite side.
d is formed. On the other hand, a similar lock plate 42c and a plate-like frame 42d are formed on the lid 42, but the lock plate 41c and the plate-like frame 41d of the case 41 are respectively reversed in the front-rear direction.

In enclosing the main board 50 in the board box 40, the connector cables 52a and 52b fitted and connected to the connectors 51a and 51b connected to the longitudinal edge of the main board 50 are cut out 41a. Is mounted on the inner bottom surface of the case 41 so as to be drawn out across the frame, and fixed using predetermined screws at the four corners. The role of the connector cables 52a and 52b is to electrically connect to other peripheral devices such as the liquid crystal display unit 34. Thereafter, the lid 42 is put on the case 41 while hooking the tips of the engaging claws 42b into the insertion holes of the corresponding plate-shaped frame 41b. Then, along with this, the engaging claw 42
b gradually penetrates into the back of the plate-shaped frame 41b, and its longitudinal side edges cannot be separated from each other, and stops when the open ends of the case 41 and the lid 42 abut as shown in the sectional view of FIG. .

Referring to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the open ends of the case 41 and the lid 42 are slightly shifted in the longitudinal direction. This is because the insertion hole of the plate-shaped frame 41b is
This is because the cover 42 is formed wider than the case 41 so that the cover 42 can be slid slightly with respect to the case 41, and when the cover 42 is put on the case 41, the opening surfaces thereof are shifted from each other. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the lock plate 41c of the case 41 and the plate-like frame 42d of the cover 42 face each other, and the lock plate 42c of the cover 42 and the plate-like frame 41d of the case 41 are connected to each other. They are opposed to each other. Then, when the lid 42 is slid with respect to the case 41 in a direction in which the displacement of the open ends is eliminated, FIG.
As shown in (5), the lock plate 41c is inserted into the plate-like frame 42d, and the lock plate 42c is inserted into the plate-like frame 41d, and cannot be opened or closed.

Further, a screw fixing portion 41e is formed on the short side wall of the case 41, and four screw fixing holes 41e1 to which a predetermined one-way screw can be screwed are connected to the screw fixing portion 41e. It is. On the other hand, a screw holding portion 4 is provided on the lateral side edge of the lid 42 so as to correspond to the screw fixing portion 41e.
2e is formed, and a screw insertion hole 42e1 through which a one-way screw can be inserted is provided so as to correspond to the screw fixing hole 41e1. When the case 41 is covered with the lid 42 as described above, the screw fixing hole 41e1 and the screw insertion hole 4
2e1 communicates. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, a one-way screw is inserted into any one of the four screw insertion holes 42e1, and screwed into the lower screw fixing hole 41e1. Then, as is well known, the one-way screw is fixed to the screw fixing hole 41e1.
And the substrate box 40 can no longer be opened.

As described above, the main board 50 is connected to the board box 4.
The significance of enclosing in 0 is as follows. As mentioned above,
Since the main board 50 is a main part for controlling the content of the game, it is necessary to protect the malicious board from unauthorized modification. Thus, by enclosing the main substrate 50 in the substrate box 40 as described above, unauthorized modification by a malicious person is eliminated. On the store side where the pachinko gaming machine 10 is installed, the connector cables 52a and 52b may be detached and attached for reasons such as maintenance.
Since the cable outlets are formed by the cutouts 41a and 42a as shown in (1), the connector cables 52a and 52b can be easily attached and detached via the cable outlets.

Of course, it may be necessary to open the board box 40 in order to check the contents of the ROM on the main board 50. In such a case, the threaded portion of the one-way screw is cut off and the substrate box 40 is opened as shown in FIG. In this way, even if the threaded portion is cut off, three screw fixing holes 41e1 and three screw insertion holes 42e1 remain, so that the screw fixing can be performed again. Can be easily discriminated visually from the outside.

By the way, various game information such as the number of winning prizes in each winning port and the number of payout prize balls in a certain period is being experimentally collected by a predetermined inspection organization. In response to this, in the present embodiment, such game information can be output to the outside, and the game information is collected by an external personal computer based on the output. Next, such a configuration will be described in detail. FIG. 9 is a schematic block diagram showing a form of electrical connection between the main board 50 and peripheral devices. In the figure, a main board 50 includes a CPU 53a, a ROM 53b,
M53c is provided, and various processes relating to the game content can be executed while appropriately using them. Note that the start chucker switches 33a, 1
0 count switch 35a and small winning opening switch 36
a, 37a and 38a are the start chuckers 3 respectively.
3. It is incorporated in the attacker 35 and the small winning opening 36, 37, 38 so that a winning ball can be detected, and the output of each switch is input to the main board 50.

For example, the above-described series of jackpot determination processing will be described as follows. When detecting a winning in the start chucker 33 based on the switch output of the start chucker switch 33a, the main board 50 acquires a jackpot determination value according to the detection timing and sends a predetermined control command to the liquid crystal display unit 34. To change the displayed content. Then, it is determined whether or not it is a big hit based on the obtained big hit determination value. If the big hit is determined, the control command is similarly sent to the liquid crystal display unit 34 to stop the display symbols in alignment, and then the attacker 35 To release. Then, the 10-count switch 35 built into the attacker 35
When it is detected that ten game balls have won the attacker 35 based on the switch output of a, the attacker 35 is closed. Thereafter, the attacker 35 is similarly opened and closed a predetermined number of times. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a loss, a control command is sent to the liquid crystal display unit 34 to stop the symbols without aligning the symbols.

The main board 50 outputs a winning detection signal for each winning opening to the outside based on switch outputs of the start chucker switch 33a, the count switch 35a, and the small winning opening switches 36a, 37a, 38a. More specifically, the winning detection signal is serial data formed by repeating 8-bit real data as shown in FIG.
The bit corresponds to the prize ball number bit indicating the prize ball number, and the fifth and subsequent bits correspond to the identification code bits for identifying each winning opening. Here, if there is no prize for any of the winning ports, the above-mentioned 8 bits are transmitted in real order with all "0". If there is a prize, the bit data of the corresponding prize port is transmitted. Is sent.

In this embodiment, the number of fifteen winning balls (the winning ball number bit “111”)
1 "), 10 winning balls (winning ball number bit" 1010 ") for the small winning openings 36, 37, 38, and 6 winning balls (winning ball number bit" 01 ") for the start chucker 33.
10 ") are assigned in advance. Further, the identification code of "0001" is given to the attacker 35, and "0" is given to each of the small winning openings 36, 37 and 38.
010 "," 0011 "," 0100 ",
An identification code of “0101” is assigned to the start chucker 33. Here, for example, when there is a prize to the attacker 35, "111100
Bit data “01” is transmitted from the main board 50.

Therefore, the personal computer receiving such data, when receiving actual data other than all "0", detects the number of prize balls by referring to the four prize ball number bits from the top and accumulates them. By doing so, it is possible to calculate the total number of payout balls, and the winning codes are detected by referring to the identification code of the fifth bit and thereafter, and the number of wins is counted for each winning port to count each winning. The number of winnings for each mouth can also be detected.

In the present embodiment, the actual data of the corresponding winning opening is sequentially transmitted each time there is a winning in each winning opening, but, of course, other configurations are also possible. It is. For example, the CPU 53a counts the number of winnings in each winning opening, and every time a certain period elapses, the counting result is coded and transmitted, and the counting result is cleared. Thereafter, the count may be restarted in the same manner, and the process of encoding and transmitting the count result each time a certain period elapses may be repeatedly executed.

Further, since the purpose is to collect the game information as described above, it can be said that it is preferable if the validity of the collected game information can be determined. Therefore, CPU5
At 3a, the number of winnings for each winning opening may be counted, and the counting result may be displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 34. In this case, the display content of the liquid crystal display unit 34 is compared with the game information collected by the personal computer, and it can be determined whether or not a communication error or the like has occurred between the CPU 53a and the personal computer. Also, in starting the collection of the game information as described above, the CPU
A predetermined start signal may be transmitted from the terminal 53a, and the personal computer may start collecting game information based on the start signal.

As shown in FIG. 4, connector cables 52a and 52b are connected to the longitudinal edges of the main board 50 via connectors 51a and 51b.
Electronic components such as a CPU 53a, a ROM 53b, and a RAM 53c are mounted. Here, a plurality of through holes 54 are formed in the middle of the main board 50, and the through holes 54 are electrically connected to the CPU 53 a via the I / O 55 similarly mounted on the main board 50. The above-mentioned winning detection signal is supplied from the CPU 53a via the I / O 55. More specifically, a print pattern reaching the CPU 53a, the through hole 54, and the I / O 55 is formed on the front surface side of the main substrate 50, and conduction is enabled by the print pattern.

When the inspection board actually connects the main board 50 to an external personal computer, a predetermined interface connector 56 is attached to the through hole 54 with the board box 40 opened, as shown in FIG. . The interface connector 56 has a through hole 54
The main board side male pin 56a which can be inserted into the main board side male pin 56a and the personal computer side male pin 56b projecting to the opposite side while conducting with the main board side male pin 56a are provided. Fix while soldering. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, an interface cable 57 is connected to the male pin 56b on the personal computer side, and the other end of the interface cable 57 is connected to a serial port of the personal computer. Then, the winning detection signal output from the CPU 53a is transmitted to the I / O 55, the through hole 54,
Since it is supplied to the personal computer via the interface connector 56 and the interface cable 57 sequentially,
The game information as described above can be collected by the personal computer.

It should be noted that the board box 40 may be opened by an inspection organization and the interface connector 56 and the interface cable 57 may not be attached to the main board 50, but may be attached in advance in the manufacturing stage. That is, as shown in FIG.
The interface connector 56 and the interface cable 57 are previously attached to the inspection target machine only at the manufacturing stage, and the interface cable 57 is led out from the cable outlet of the board box 40 in the same manner as the connector cables 52a and 52b. In this case, in the inspection organization, the other end of the interface cable 57 derived from the board box 40 may be connected to a personal computer, and the connection can be made extremely easily.

In this embodiment, the through holes 54
Is connected to a personal computer via the interface connector 56, but the shape and number of connectors used for the connection are not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate. . For example, as shown in FIG. 14, through holes 54 and 154 may be continuously provided on the main substrate 50, and predetermined interface connectors 56 and 156 may be attached to the through holes 54 and 154, respectively, to be connected to a personal computer. More specifically, the winning detection signal is supplied to the side of the through hole 54 and the through hole 154 is provided.
May be supplied with a gaming state signal indicating a gaming state such as a jackpot or a probability change, and the personal computer may individually aggregate data.

The interface cable 57
Is connected to the main board 50, similarly to the connector cables 52a and 52b, a predetermined connector is arranged on the main board 50 near the cable outlet formed by the cutouts 41a and 42a. It seems good to connect using a connector. However, the interface cable 57 is connected to the connector cables 52a and 52b.
Unlike this, it is only intended to be installed at a predetermined inspection organization for testing purposes, and is not used for normal purposes. In addition, by arranging the above-described connector near the cable outlet, it is possible that a malicious person may perform illegal work. Therefore, by arranging the through-hole 54 on the main board 50, which is a connection end with the outside, inside the board box 40, it is possible to effectively eliminate malicious acts by a malicious person.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main substrate 5
Since only the through hole 54 is formed on the top 0, it can be said that it is unlikely that a malicious person will know that a winning detection signal can be extracted using this through hole. Further, since the print pattern, which is a conduction path of the CPU 53a, the I / O 55, and the through hole 54, is formed on the front surface side of the main substrate 50 as described above, the print pattern is improperly worked. If so, it can be said that fraud is easy to find. Alternatively, all or part of the lid 42 may be made of a transparent resin or the like so that the print pattern can be easily visually recognized from the outside.

Needless to say, another configuration may be added to prevent unauthorized modification by a malicious person. For example, in the present embodiment, the I / O
A winning detection signal is always supplied to the through-hole 54 through the through-hole 55. The CPU determines whether or not an external personal computer is effectively connected to the through-hole 54.
The winning detection signal may be output only when it is determined at 53a that the connection is effectively established. The through-hole 54 has an interface connector 5
6 is fixed by soldering.
Where the plating is performed to improve the wettability of the solder, such plating may not be performed to prevent improper solder fixing. Further, as another example, as shown in FIG. 15, when a rectangular box-shaped spacer 42 f protruding inward from the ceiling surface of the lid 42 is formed, and the lid 42 covers the opening surface of the case 41. FIG.
The through-hole 54 may be covered at the tip of the spacer 42f as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG.

Further, in this embodiment, a connection terminal for connecting to an external personal computer is constituted by the above-described through hole 54, and this through hole 54 is
By arranging it inside 0, illegal actions by a malicious person are prevented, but of course other configurations are also possible. For example, in the cross-sectional view shown in the transverse direction of FIG. 17, an interface connector 156 is provided in advance instead of the through hole 54 on the main board 150 inside the board box 140. And
Lid 142 above interface connector 156
A notch 142g is formed on the ceiling surface of the device in accordance with the shape of the interface connector 156, and the cutout 142g can be broken by external pressure. When actually connecting the main board 150 and the personal computer at the inspection organization, the portion of the lid 142 where the cut 142g is formed is pressed from the outside. Then, the same portion of the lid 142 is broken, and the interface connector 156 is exposed. The interface connector 156 can be used to connect the personal computer in the same manner. In this case, if the lid 142 has been broken and an illegal work has been performed, the lid 142 can be visually recognized from the outside and easily discriminated.

As another example, in the cross-sectional view shown in the transverse direction of FIG. 18, a predetermined connector 254 is provided in place of the through hole 54 on the main board 250 inside the board box 240 in advance. deep. This connector 25
Reference numeral 4 allows one end of a predetermined connector cable to be connected on the upper surface side. On the other hand, the lid 24 of the substrate box 240
2, a connector 242h is embedded so as to penetrate the front and back surfaces. The connector 242h can be similarly connected to a personal computer on the front side of the lid 242, and one end of the connector cable can be connected on the rear side. Here, for the inspection target machine only, a connector cable 260 that allows electrical connection between the connectors 242h and 254 is connected in the board box 240 in advance in the manufacturing stage. Therefore, in the inspection organization, one end of the interface cable may be connected to the connector 242h on the front side of the lid 242, and the other end may be connected to the personal computer. In this case, the connector 2 is used even in a pachinko game machine for general use.
Although 42h is always exposed, it is impossible to retrieve the game information to the outside because the connector cable 260 is not connected.

As described above, while the main board 50 is connected to an external personal computer, game information corresponding to an actual winning is output from the main board 50, and the game information is collected by the personal computer. A through-hole 54 is formed on the inner main board 50, and an interface connector 56 is attached to the through-hole 54 and connected to an external personal computer or the like via the interface connector 56. In this state, it is possible to provide a game control box that cannot effectively take out the game information to the outside and can effectively prevent illegal acts by a malicious person.
