A game arcade management according to the embodiment corresponding to the operation of the player, with reference to the flowchart showing the processing performed by the stand computer DCPU shown in FIG. 7 and the flowchart showing the processing performed by the liquid crystal information display device DISP shown in FIGS. The processing operation of the device 1 will be described.

The data transmission between the host computer HCPU and the island computer SCPU, the data transmission between the island computer SCPU and the island computer DCPU, and the data transmission between the host computer HCPU and the island computer DCPU are performed by the host computer. H
This is performed by an address managed by the CPU.

The host computer HCPU stores the addresses of all the island computers SCPU and all the computers DCPU. The island computer SCPU stores the addresses of the host computers and the subordinate computers DC.
The address of the PU is stored, and the host computer DCPU stores the address of the host computer HCPU and the address of the island computer SCPU of the island to which it belongs. When each computer sends data,
The data transmission is performed by transmitting the destination address and the own address together with the transmission data. In the following description,
Since these processing operations are well-known techniques in data communication processing between computers, detailed description will be omitted.

First, the outline of the processing performed by the host computer HCPU will be described. FIG. 25 and FIG.
9 is a flowchart illustrating an outline of a process performed by a host CPU 12 of the host computer HCPU. Host CPU
12 performs initialization processing after power-on, and clears an execution processing flag F2 necessary for executing processing (step A1).

After performing the initialization processing, the host CPU 12 determines whether or not there is a processing mode input by a function key from the key input operation unit 18 (step A2). If not, Step A7 to Step A12
Processing mode discrimination processing, and selectively executes one of the processing of the opening processing, the processing during business, the closing processing, each setting processing, and the nail adjustment processing one cycle at a time according to the value of the execution processing flag F2. (Step A19 to Step A2
3) Thereafter, the screen display processing of step A13 and the printing processing of step A14 are sequentially performed, and the processing of one cycle is completed, and the processing shifts to step A2 to shift to processing of the next cycle. The screen display process is a process of outputting display data set in the display area of the memory 13 to the display unit 16, and the printing process is a process of outputting the print data set in the print area of the memory 13 to the printing unit 17. This is the process of outputting to.

At the stage immediately after the power is turned on, the value of the execution processing flag F2 is set to 0, so that the host CPU 12
The screen display processing of step A13 and the printing processing of step A14 are periodically and sequentially performed.

After the power is turned on, first, the operator
Each setting processing mode is input by a function key from the key input operation unit 18. Through this processing, setting input of each data necessary for displaying on the liquid crystal display unit 66 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP is performed.

When the operator performs an input operation using the function keys from the key input operation unit 18,
The host CPU 12 determines that the determination processing of step A2 is true, determines the type of the operated function key by the processing mode key input determination processing of steps A3 to A6, and sets the execution processing flag F2 according to the determination result. Is set, and the process proceeds to Step A7.

In this case, since each setting processing mode is input, the host CPU 12 determines that the determination processing in step A5 is true, sets 4 to the execution processing flag F2 (step A17), and proceeds to step A7. Thereafter, the determination processing in step A11 is determined to be true, and each setting processing in step A22 is performed.

FIG. 27 and FIG. 28 are flowcharts showing each setting process. Each setting process includes inputting a message to be displayed on the initial screen of the liquid crystal information display device DISP, each drink item name to be displayed on the drink selection menu screen shown in FIG. 18, and the number of coins corresponding to each drink item ( The number of withdrawn balls) and the number of rest periods to be displayed on the rest period selection menu screen shown in FIG. 19 are input. It is assumed that the display unit 16 of the host computer HCPU displays a message input, a drink item name input, and a break time input, and selects a processing item using a function key from the key input operation unit 18. It has become.

Host CPU 12 that has started each setting process
First, it is determined whether the message input is selected (step A30). If the message input has not been selected, the host CPU 12 proceeds to step A35.

When the message input is selected, the host CPU 12 waits for a message content to be input. When a predetermined message is input from the key input operation unit 18, the host CPU 12 stores the input message content in the message storage area (Step A31), and sets a message reception request command in the command storage area COM (Step A31). A32), the message content stored in the message storage area is stored in the transmission data storage area DA.
The data is stored in the TA (step A33), and the process proceeds to step A34 to perform the data transmission processing subroutine shown in FIG.

The messages to be displayed on the initial screen of the liquid crystal information display device DISP include, for example, information on replacing pachinko gaming machines, information on chain stores on the hall side, and information on premiums.

Here, the data transmission processing will be described. The host CPU 12 that has started the data transmission process first sets the start island number, that is, the number of the first island computer SCPU in the island index register S1 (step A45), and sets the end island number in the end island number storage register S2. That is, the final island computer SC
PU number is set (step A46), and step A
Move to 47. The start island number set in the island index register S1 and the end island number set in the end island number storage register S2 are set and stored in the initial condition file in advance as initial setting values.

The host CPU 1 that has proceeded to step A47
2 transmits the command set in the command storage area COM to the island computer SCPU (S1) corresponding to the island number set in the island index register S1 (step A47). The contents stored in the transmission data storage area DATA are transmitted to the computer SCPU (S1) (step A48), and the island number set in the island index register S1 is incremented by one (step A4).
9) Next, it is determined whether or not the island number set in the island index register S1 exceeds the final island number set in the end island number storage register S2 (step A50).

If the island number set in the island index register S1 does not exceed the final island number set in the end island number storage register S2, the host CPU
12 repeatedly executes a processing loop formed by steps A47 to A50, and stores a command in the island computer SCPU (S1) designated by the island number set in the island index register S1 which is sequentially updated. The command set in the area COM is transmitted, and the transmission data storage area DA is transmitted.
The contents stored in the TA are transmitted.

The island number set in the island index register S1 is the end island number storage register S2.
Exceeds the last island number set in (Step A5)
0), the host CPU 12 ends the data transmission process and returns.

As described above, when the message input is selected, the message reception request command and the message content are transmitted to each island computer SCPU.

After the processing of step A34, the host CPU 12 proceeds to step A35, and determines whether or not a drink item input has been selected (step A35). If the drink item input has not been selected, the host CPU 12 proceeds to step A40.

When the drink item input is selected, the host CPU 12 waits for input of the drink item name and the number of coins corresponding to each drink item. From the key input operation unit 18,
For example, a liquid crystal information display device DISP as shown in FIG.
When the beverage item names of coffee, juice, cola, and oolong tea to be displayed on the beverage selection menu screen displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 66 of the liquid crystal display unit 66 and the number of coins corresponding to each beverage item are input, the host CPU 12 Each of the drink items and the number of coins are stored in the drink item storage area (step A36), and a drink item reception request command is set in the command storage area COM (step A37).
Each of the beverage items and the number of coins stored in the beverage item storage area are stored in the transmission data storage area DATA (step A38), and the process proceeds to step A39 to perform the data transmission processing subroutine of FIG.

Thus, when the drink item input is selected, a drink item reception request command, each drink item, and each value ball corresponding to each drink item are transmitted to each island computer SCPU. .

After the processing of step A39, the host CPU 12 proceeds to step A40, and determines whether or not a break time input has been selected (step A40). If the break time input is not selected, the host CPU 12 ends each setting process and returns.

When the break time input is selected, the host CPU 12 waits for a break time. For example, when the break time of 30 minutes and 60 minutes to be displayed on the break time selection screen displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 66 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP as shown in FIG. 16 is input from the key input operation unit 18. The host CPU 12 stores the inputted rest time values 30 and 60 in the rest time storage area (step A41) and sets a rest time reception request command in the command storage area COM (step A42).
Each value of the break time stored in the break time storage area is stored in the transmission data storage area DATA (step A43),
The process shifts to step A44 to perform a subroutine of the data transmission process shown in FIG. 29, and thereafter returns after finishing each setting process.

Thus, when a break time input is selected, a break time reception request command and each break time are transmitted to each island computer SCPU.

If each setting process is selected, the execution process flag F2 is set to 4 by the process of step A17. As a result, even in the next cycle, steps A30, A35 and A40 of each setting process of step A22 are performed. Are determined.

Next, the processing of the island computer SCPU when a message reception request command, a drink item reception request command, and a break time reception request command are transmitted to the island computer SCPU will be described.

FIG. 43 shows the island C of the island computer SCPU.
5 is a flowchart showing an outline of processing executed by the PU 20. After turning on the power, the island CPU 20 executes an initialization processing (step B1), and thereafter, SUB (B), SUB
Each process of (C) and SUB (D) is sequentially and repeatedly executed. The process of SUB (B) is a process mainly performed according to a communication command transmitted from the computer DCPU, and the process of SUB (C) is an island computer S.
Each computer DCPU under the control of the CPU

The processing of the island computer HCPU in response to the message reception request command, the drink item reception request command, and the break time reception request command transmitted from the host computer HCPU is performed in the processing of SUB (D).

When the SUB (D) processing shown in FIGS. 54 to 60 is started, the island CPU 20 determines the communication command received from the host computer HCPU by the command determination processing of steps b40 to b45.
If there is no communication command from the host computer HCPU, the island CPU 20 terminates the process without substantially executing the SUB (D) process and returns.

Upon receiving the message reception request command from the host computer HCPU, the island CPU 20 determines that the determination processing in step b41 is true after the determination in step b40, shifts to step b48, and is transmitted from the host computer HCPU. The contents of the message are received and stored in the memory (step b48).

Next, the island CPU 20 sets the start platform number, that is, the number of the first platform computer DCPU in the platform index register n1 (step b).
49), the end unit number, that is, the number of the last unit computer DCPU is set in the end unit number storage register n2 (step b50), and the routine goes to step b51.
The start table number set in the table index register n1 and the end table number set in the end table number storage register n2 are previously set and stored in the initial condition file as initial setting values.

The island CPU 20 which has proceeded to step b51
Transmits a message reception request command to the platform computer DCPU (n1) corresponding to the platform number set in the platform index register n1 (step b5).
1) Then, the destination computer DCPU (n)
For 1), the message content stored in the memory in the process of step b48 is transmitted (step b52), and the platform number set in the platform index register n1 is incremented by one (step b53). It is determined whether or not the machine number set in the register n1 exceeds the last machine number set in the end machine number storage register n2 (step b54).

If the machine number set in the machine index register n1 does not exceed the last machine number set in the end machine number storage register n2, the island CPU 20
Repeatedly executes the processing loop formed by steps b51 to b54, and transmits a message reception request command to the computer DCPU designated by the machine number set in the machine index register n1 which is sequentially updated. At the same time, the message content stored in the memory is transmitted.

The machine number set in the machine index register n1 is the end machine number storage register n2.
(Step b5)
4), the island CPU 20 ends the process of SUB (D) and returns. As a result, the message reception request command and the message content are transmitted to all of the subordinate computers DCPU.

When receiving the drink item reception request command from the host computer HCPU, the island CPU 20
After the determinations in step b40 and step b41, the determination processing in step b42 is determined to be true, and the process proceeds to step b55, where each beverage item transmitted from the host computer HCPU and the number of coins corresponding to each beverage item are calculated. Receive,
It is stored in the memory (step b55).

The subsequent processing is performed by the same algorithm as the processing for receiving the message reception request command, and therefore detailed description is omitted. When the processing is outlined, the processing is set in the sequentially updated table index register n1. A drink item reception request command is transmitted to the table computer DCPU (n1) specified by the table number, and the drink items stored in the memory and the number of coins corresponding to each drink item are transmitted (step). b5
6 to step b61).

Further, when a break time reception request command is received from the host computer HCPU, the island CPU 20
Are the steps b40, b41, b42
After the determination in step b43, the determination process in step b43 is determined to be true, and the flow advances to step b62 to receive the rest time values transmitted from the host computer HCPU and store them in the memory (step b62). Hereinafter, since the same algorithm as that of the processing for receiving the message reception request command is used, detailed description will be omitted, and the outline of the processing will be briefly described. The processing is specified by the unit number set in the sequentially updated unit index register n1. A break time reception request command is transmitted to the base computer DCPU (n1), and each value of the break time stored in the memory is transmitted (step b63 to step b68).

Next, the processing of the computer DCPU when a message reception request command, a drink item reception request command, and a break time reception request command are transmitted to the computer DCPU will be described.

FIG. 61 shows a table C of the table computer DCPU.
9 is a flowchart showing an outline of a process executed by a PU 25. The power supply CPU 25 executes an initialization process after power-on, and executes an execution process flag F1 and a timer T necessary for the process.
1 is cleared to 0, then SUB (E), main processing,
SUB (F), SUB (G), and SUB (H) are sequentially and repeatedly executed.

The SUB (E) process is a process mainly performed according to the communication command transmitted from the island computer SCPU, and a message reception request command, a drink item reception request command, and a break time reception request command are transmitted. When the computer DCPU is
This is performed in the processing of SUB (E).

In the main processing, when an ID code is input from the card terminal 5, the ID code is stored in the ID code storage area of the storage area means, the ID code is transmitted to the host computer, and then transmitted from the host computer. When the stored balance is received, a process of storing the stored balance in the stored balance storage area corresponding to the stored ID code, and at the end of the game, transmitting the stored balance in the stored storage area together with the ID code to the host computer. It performs a process of outputting a stored balance and a process of outputting display data to be displayed on the liquid crystal information display device DISP.

The process of SUB (F) is a process relating to the table counting machine 4 and is a process of cumulatively updating the number of balls counted and the balance of the stored balls based on the ball detection signal from the table counting machine 4.

SUB (G) is a process related to the sand lending machine 3, and when a withdrawal signal output from the sand lending machine 3 is input, the number of withdrawn balls corresponding to the withdrawal signal is stored in the balance storage area. A process of comparing the balance with the savings ball, permitting the pachinko gaming machine 2 to lend the pachinko balls to the pachinko gaming machine 2 via the sand lending machine 3 only when the number of withdrawn balls is within the range of the savings ball; A process of subtracting the number of debited balls from the stored balance stored in the balance storage area and updating and storing the stored balance is performed.

SUB (H) is processing relating to the pachinko gaming machine 2, and is a processing for inputting gaming machine data such as the number of hit balls, the number of payout balls, the number of special prizes, and the number of starts, and totalizing the data.

When receiving the communication command transmitted from the island computer SCPU, the base computer DCPU receives
In the processing of SUB (E), the type of the communication command is determined, and processing according to the determined communication command is performed.

When the computer DCPU receives the message reception request command, it determines in step f1
It is determined to be true in the determination processing of step f4, and the message content transmitted from the island computer SCPU is received and stored in the memory 26 (step f5).

When receiving the drink item reception request command, the stand computer DCPU judges that the judgment is true in the judgment process of step f6 after the judgment of step f1 and step f4, and the drink item and the drink item transmitted from the island computer SCPU. Is received and stored in the memory (step f7).

When the rest computer DCPU receives the rest time reception request command, it executes steps f1, f
After the determination at step f6 and step f6, it is determined to be true in the determination processing at step f8, and the respective values of the rest time transmitted from the island computer SCPU are received and stored in the memory (step f8).

When each setting process in the host computer HCPU is completed, the operator inputs a store opening mode using the function keys from the key input operation unit 18.

When the store opening processing mode is input, the host computer HCPU determines that the determination processing in step A3 in FIG. 25 is true, sets 1 to the execution processing flag F2 (step A15), and executes the processing in step A7 and subsequent steps. Move to

As a result of the execution process flag F2 being set to 1, the host computer HCPU executes the store opening process (step A19). The store opening process will be briefly described. The store opening process performed by the host computer HCPU clears and initializes all storage areas of the unit number file for storing today's data in the collected data memory 19 shown in FIG. 122, and then opens the entire island computer SCPU. A command is transmitted, and thereafter, 2 is set to the execution processing flag F2.

Upon receiving the store opening command, the island computer SCPU clears and initializes the storage area for today in the collected data memory 21 to zero, and then transmits a store opening command to the stand computer DCPU.

When receiving the store opening command, the table computer DCPU clears and initializes the storage area for storing today's data set in the memory 26 shown in FIGS.

Up to this point, the processing performed by the hall before the store is opened. Next, a description will be given of the processing operation of the game arcade management device 1 in response to the operation of the player after opening.

When the host computer HCPU finishes the store opening process, the execution process flag F2 is set to 2;
After the determinations in step A7 and step A8, the determination processing in step A9 is determined to be true, and the processing shifts to processing in business (step A20).

FIG. 30 is a flow chart showing the outline of the in-business processing executed by the host computer HCPU. The processing of steps a1 to a5 is performed when the operator inputs a machine number using a function key from the key input operation unit 18 as needed. The CPU 12 determines that the determination processing in step a1 is false, and proceeds to the processing of SUB (A) in step a6.

FIGS. 31 to 39 are flowcharts showing the SUB (A) processing. The host CPU 12
When the processing of UB (A) starts, the island computer SCP
It is determined whether there is a communication command input from U (step a10). If there is no communication command input from the island computer SCPU, the host CPU 12 returns. Therefore, if there is no communication command input from the island computer SCPU, the processing of SUB (A) is not substantially performed. In this case, based on the value 2 set in the execution processing flag F2, the host CPU 12 repeatedly executes only the determination processing of step a1 in FIG. 30 and step a10 in SUB (A) at a predetermined cycle.

On the other hand, after the store is opened, unless the host computer HCPU performs each setting process, the main computer DCPU, SUB (F), SU (F) shown in FIG.
Each process of B (G) and SUB (H) is sequentially and repeatedly executed.

Next, the main processing executed by the computer DCPU will be described. FIG. 65 to FIG. 81 are flowcharts showing the main processing executed by the platform CPU 25 of the platform computer DCPU.

When the main CPU 25 starts the main processing, it first performs the execution flag discrimination processing in steps s1 to s6. Each processing in the main processing for the value of the execution processing flag F1 is as follows: F1 = 0 Display of gaming machine information (for 3 days including today) F1 = 1 Message display F1 = 2 Confirmation of host computer and ID code F1 = 3 PIN code input F1 = 4 Playing F1 = 5 Playing Service menu F1 = 6 Playing drink menu F1 = 7 Playing towel F1 = 8 Playing rest F1 = 9 Playing Waiting for card removal for rest F1 = 10 Playing (resting) F1 = 11 Playing (vehicle reservation) F1 = 12 Playing (vehicle reservation selected) F1 = 13 Playing (vehicle reservation completed message display) F1 = 14 Playing end F1 = 15 Closing process F1 = 16 It is set like nail adjustment.

At the stage immediately after the power is turned on, the execution processing flag F1 is cleared to 0, and therefore, the platform CPU 25 determines that each of the determination processing of steps s1 to s4 is false. Further, after step s5, it is determined whether the signal of the card sensor from the card terminal 5 is on, that is, whether the ID card is inserted (step s5). If it is inserted, it is determined to be false and the process proceeds to step s6, and it is determined to be true and the process proceeds to step s7.

The platform CPU 25 that has proceeded to step s7
It is determined whether or not the timer T1 is 0 (step s).
7) Since the value of the timer T1 has been set to 0 by the initialization processing, it is determined to be true and the process proceeds to step s8.

The platform CPU 25 sets the execution processing flag F1 to 1
Is set (step s8), a predetermined value X is set in the timer T1 (step s9), and the liquid crystal information display device DISP is set.
(Step s10), and then the contents of the message stored in the memory 26, for example, information on replacing a pachinko gaming machine, information on a chain store on the hall side, and information on a prize are displayed on the liquid crystal information display device DISP. , And the process in this cycle ends. The contents of the message transmitted to the liquid crystal information display device DISP are displayed on the liquid crystal display section 66 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP, and the processing in the liquid crystal information display device DISP will be described later.

As a result of the execution processing flag F1 being set to 1, in the next cycle of the main processing, if the ID card has not been inserted, the stand CPU 25 executes steps s1 to s5.
Are determined to be false, the determination process of step s6 is determined to be false, the process proceeds to step s12, and the timer T
It is determined whether 1 is 0 (step s12).
In the processing of the next cycle in which the predetermined value X is set in the timer T1, the value of the timer T1 is not 0, so it is determined to be false, and the timer T1
Is decremented by one (step s13), and the processing of this cycle is ended.

Thereafter, until the value of the timer T1 becomes 0, the platform CPU 25 performs the discriminating processing of steps s1 to s6, the discriminating processing of step s12, and the processing of step s13 based on the value 1 of the execution processing flag F1. The process is repeated at a predetermined cycle.

When the value of the timer T1 becomes 0, the result of the determination in step s12 becomes true, and the platform CPU 25
The execution processing flag F1 is set to 0 (step s1
4) A predetermined value X is set in the timer T1 (step s1).
5), a game machine information display command is transmitted to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s16).

The platform CPU 25 sets the number of transmissions 3 in the transmission count register n (step s17),
The current date is set in the date setting register DATE (step s18), and the pachinko gaming machine data corresponding to the date set in the date setting register DATE is stored in the memory 26.
123 (step s19), transmits the read pachinko gaming machine data to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s20), and is set in the transmission count register n. The value set in the transmission count register n is decremented by one (step s21), and it is determined whether or not the value set in the transmission count register n is 0 (step s22). As the pachinko gaming machine data, for example, the total number of special prizes and the total number of start times are transmitted.

If the value set in the transmission count register n is not 0, the platform CPU 25 switches the date set in the date setting register DATE to the date of the previous day (step s23), and returns to step s19. Then, the process from step s19 to step s21 is repeatedly executed.

When the value set in the transmission count register n becomes 0, the platform CPU 25 proceeds to step s2.
2 is determined to be true, and the processing of this cycle is terminated.
To return.

As a result, since the initial value set in the transmission count register n is 3, the pachinko gaming machine data for three days including the current day, for example, for yesterday, the total number of special prizes and the total number of start times, The total number of special prizes and start times for yesterday and the total number of special prizes and start times for today are read and transmitted to the liquid crystal information display device DISP. The pachinko gaming machine data transmitted to the liquid crystal information display device DISP is displayed on the liquid crystal display section 66 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP, as shown in FIG.

As a result of the execution processing flag F1 being set to 0, in the main processing of the next cycle in which the predetermined value X has been set to the timer T1, as long as the ID card is not inserted into the card terminal 5 by the player, the stand CPU 25 Since the determination process of determining whether or not the value of the timer T1 at step s7 after the determination of s6 is 0 is determined to be false, the base CPU 25
Decrements the value of the timer T1 by 1 (step s
24), the processing in this cycle ends. Hereinafter, the stand CPU2
5 is the step s until the value of the timer T1 becomes 0.
The determination processing of 1 to step s7 and the processing of step s24 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle.

When the value of the timer T1 becomes 0, the result of the determination at the step s7 becomes true, and the processes at the steps s8 to s11 are executed again. That is, while the ID card is not inserted into the card terminal 5 by the player, the message content is displayed on the liquid crystal display section 66 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP for a predetermined time defined by the predetermined value X set in the timer T1. When the predetermined time elapses, 1 is set to the execution processing flag F1.
By executing the processing from step 14 to step s18 and the loop processing formed from step s19 to step s23, the information of the pachinko gaming machine for three days shown in FIG. Display device D
It is displayed on the liquid crystal display section 66 of the ISP.

That is, after entering the hall, the player can visually check the information of the pachinko gaming machine for three days displayed on the liquid crystal display section 66 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP and use it as a reference for selecting a pachinko gaming machine. it can.

Here, it is assumed that an ID card as an identification card has been lent to a player who has entered the hall. An ID code is stored in a magnetic stripe portion of the ID card. Further, it is assumed that the player has already purchased a prepaid card for lending a ball.

When the player selects the pachinko gaming machine 2 to play a game, first, the pachinko gaming table 24 shown in FIG.

When an ID card is inserted into the card terminal 5, the card sensor is first turned on, and this ON signal is input to the platform CPU 25 via the sensor detection circuit. In the process of inserting the ID card by the player, the ID code stored in the magnetic stripe portion is read by the magnetic head, and the ID code read through the head control circuit 33 is read.
The D code is input to the platform CPU 25.

In the main processing, the table CPU 25 performs processing for displaying the message content on the liquid crystal display section 66 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP based on the value 0 or 1 of the execution processing flag F1 and the pachinko gaming machine information. When an ID card is inserted when the display process is being performed, the stand CPU 25 determines that the determination process in step s5 is true, detects the insertion of the ID card, and proceeds to step s25.

The platform CPU 25 sets the execution processing flag F1 to 2
Is set (step s25), and the ID is sent from the card terminal 5.
The code is input and the ID code is stored in the memory 26 (steps s26 and s27), and a comment display command is transmitted to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s28).
Is sent to the memory computer 26 (step s29), and the island computer SCPU
The ID code and the inquiry command (step s3).
0), and return after finishing this cycle of processing. In addition, as the content of the comment transmitted to the liquid crystal information display device DISP, for example, “please wait” is transmitted.

As a result of the execution processing flag F1 being set to 2, in the main processing after the next cycle, the main CPU 25 determines that the determination processing of step s4 as to whether the value of the execution processing flag F1 is 2 or more is true. It is determined that the determination process of step s31 is false, the process proceeds to step s32, and since the detection signal detected by the card sensor is ON because the ID card is still inserted in the card terminal 5, the subsequent card removal is performed. Is determined to be false, the current value 2 of the execution process flag F2 is detected in the determination process of step s33, and the process shifts to step s34.
It is determined whether an inquiry response from U has been received (step s34).

If the inquiry response from the island computer SCPU has not been received yet, the platform CPU 25 returns after completing this cycle of processing. Hereinafter, in the main processing, the main CPU 25 repeats the determination processing of steps s1 to s4 and the determination processing of steps s31 to s34 based on the value 2 of the execution processing flag F1,
It waits to receive an inquiry response from the island computer SCPU.

When the inquiry command is transmitted from the platform computer DCPU to the island computer SCPU, the island CPU 20 of the island computer SCPU receiving the command sends the inquiry command to the platform computer D in step b1 in SUB (B) of FIG.
The processing for determining whether or not there is a communication command from the CPU is determined to be true, the processing for determining whether or not the inquiry in step b2 is true is determined, and the process proceeds to step b10.

The island CPU 20 is a stand computer DCPU
(Step b1)
0), and transmits the inquiry command and the received ID code to the host computer HCPU (step b11).

When an inquiry command is transmitted from the island computer SCPU to the host computer HCPU, the host CPU 12 of the host computer HCPU receiving the inquiry command receives the inquiry command.
Determines that the processing of determining whether or not there is a communication command from the island computer SCPU in step a10 in SUB (A) of FIG. 31 is true, and determines that the determination processing of whether or not inquiry is in step a11 is true. Then, the process proceeds to step a19.

The host CPU 12 is an island computer SC

The values of the password ANO and the balance BB sent from the host computer HCPU are shown in FIG.
Is received by the island CPU 20 (step b12), and the island CPU 20 transmits the received values of the personal identification number ANO and the balance BB to the destination computer DCPU (step b13). To end.

When the personal identification number ANO and the coin balance BB are transmitted from the island computer SCPU to the platform computer DCPU, the platform CPU 25 determines that the determination processing in step s34 is true, and is transmitted from the island computer SCPU. Each value of the personal identification number ANO and the coin balance BB is stored in the memory 26 (step s35), the execution processing flag F1 is set to 3 (step s36), and the personal identification number input command is transmitted to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s36). s37), the process of this cycle is completed, and the process returns. As a result, a password input screen as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the liquid crystal display section 66 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP. 13 are operation input units of the touch panel 68, and a four-digit password is input by the player.

As a result of the execution processing flag F1 being set to 3, in the next cycle of the main processing, the CPU 25 executes the determination processing of steps s1 to s4 and the determination processing of steps s31 to s33, and then executes step s38.
, The value 3 of the execution process flag F1 is detected, and the routine goes to Step s39.

In step s39, the platform CPU 25 determines whether or not the personal identification number ANO 'input from the liquid crystal information display device DISP has been received from the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s39). If the personal identification number ANO 'has not been received from the liquid crystal information display device DISP, the platform CPU 25 terminates the process of this cycle and returns.

Hereinafter, until the personal identification number ANO 'is received from the liquid crystal information display device DISP, the platform CPU 25 performs the determination processing of steps s1 to s4 based on the value 3 of the execution processing flag F1, and the steps s31 to s4. Discrimination processing of s33 and steps s38 to s3
The determination process of No. 9 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle, and the system waits for reception of the password ANO 'input by the player.

Then, when the player has a four-digit password ANO '
Is input from the touch panel 68 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP, the password AN is input from the liquid crystal information display device DISP.
O 'is input to the table CPU 25. The stand CPU 25 determines that the determination processing in step s39 is true, and determines whether or not the input personal identification number ANO 'matches the personal identification number ANO stored in the memory (step s40).

If the input personal identification number ANO 'does not match the personal identification number ANO stored in the memory,
25 ends the process in this cycle and returns.
It waits for the reception of the personal identification number ANO 'again.

If the input password ANO 'matches the password ANO stored in the memory,
5 sets the execution processing flag F1 to 4 (step s).
41), the personal data storage area shown in FIG. 124 and the acquired amount storage area shown in FIG. 126 set in the memory 26 are cleared to 0 (step s42), and a game command is transmitted to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s42). s4
3), the process of this cycle is completed and the process returns.

As a result of the execution processing flag F1 being set to 4, in the next cycle of the main processing, the platform CPU 25 performs the determination processing of steps s1 to s4, the determination processing of steps s31 to s33, and the determination processing of step s38. After the execution, the value 4 of the execution processing flag F1 is detected by the determination processing in step s44, and the flow shifts to step s45.

The stand CPU 25 reads the number of hit balls, the number of payout balls, the subtraction, the number of special prizes, and the number of starts from the personal data storage area, and transmits them to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s45). The input amount, the card usage amount, the number of withdrawn balls, and the number of counted balls are read from the area and transmitted to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s4).
6) Then, the process proceeds to step s47, where the converted value of one ball is converted into a value 4 (yen), the number of counted balls is multiplied by the value converted value 4, and the converted value of the number of counted balls is obtained. The sum of the amount of money inserted into the coin slot 48 and the amount of card usage of the prepaid card consumed by the sand lending machine 3 is calculated, the total amount of use is calculated, temporarily stored, and a withdrawal ball deducted from the balance of the savings. The number is multiplied by the amount conversion value 4 to obtain the number of converted balls, and further, the used amount and the number of converted balls are subtracted from the converted number of balls to obtain the obtained amount ＄ and stored in the obtained amount storage area of the memory. (Step s4
7). Immediately after inputting the password ANO ', pachinko balls have not been lent out yet.
These values are 0.

The stand CPU 25 then calculates the total value of the used amounts temporarily stored, the obtained amount ＄ stored in the obtained amount storage area, and the stored balance BB stored in the stored amount storage area. Is transmitted to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s48), and the flow shifts to step s49. Step s45, step s46 and step s4
When the processing of step 8 is performed, the number of hit balls, the number of payout balls, the subtraction, the number of special prizes, the number of starts, the amount of money inserted,
Each value of the card use amount, the total use amount, the number of withdrawn balls, the number of counted balls and the acquired amount, and the value of the remaining coins is displayed. Immediately after the input of the password ANO ', pachinko balls have not been lent out yet, and therefore, these values excluding the accumulated bank account balance BB are displayed as 0.

After the processing in step s48, the platform CPU 25 proceeds to step s49 and moves to the liquid crystal information display device DIS.
It is determined whether a service command has been input from P (step s49). At the lower left of the display screen in FIG.
A service key is displayed as an operation input unit of the touch panel 68. The processing in the case where the operation input of the service key is performed will be described later, and the description will be made on the assumption that the operation input of the service key is not performed. The platform CPU 25 determines that the determination processing in step s49 is false, ends the current cycle processing, and returns.

Hereafter, the platform CPU 25 sets the execution processing flag F
After the next cycle, the main processing is performed based on the value 4 of 1, and the determination processing of steps s1 to s4, the determination processing of steps s31 to s33, the determination processing of step s38, and the determination processing of step s44 are performed. By performing the processing of steps s45 to s48, the liquid crystal information display device DISP is

Next, FIG. 61 performed following the main processing
SUB (F), SUB (G) and SUB (H) shown in FIG.

FIG. 82 is a flowchart showing the processing of SUB (F).
First, it is determined whether or not the value of the execution processing flag F1 is in a game. When the value of the execution processing flag F1 is 4 ≦ F
If it is in the range of 1 ≦ 13, the game is being played. Stand CP
When the value of the execution processing flag F1 is not in the game, U25 determines whether or not the value of the execution processing flag F1 in step c1 is 3 or less, or the value of the execution processing flag F1 in step c2 is 14 or more. One of the determination processes is determined to be true, and the process returns. For this reason, when the value of the execution processing flag F1 is not a game, the SUB
The processing of (F) is not executed.

When the value of the execution processing flag F1 is 4 ≦ F1 ≦ 13
Are within the range of step c1 and step c1
2 are all false, in this case, the platform C
The PU 25 proceeds to step c3, and determines whether or not a ball detection signal from the table counter 4 is input (step c3).

If there is no input of the ball detection signal from the table counter 4, the table CPU 25 terminates the SUB (F) process and returns.

When a ball detection signal is input from the table counting machine 4, the table CPU 25 sets the counted ball number stored in the counted ball number storage area in the personal data storage area to one.
Is added, and 1 is added to the value of the total counted ball number stored in the total counted ball number storage area in the cumulative data storage area (step c4), and the total accumulated ball number stored in the total accumulated ball number storage area is stored. One is added to BB and stored (step c5), and the process of SUB (F) ends.

According to this processing, the pachinko balls inserted by the player for counting in the stand counting machine 4 are detected one by one, input to the stand computer DCPU as a ball detection signal, and stored in the memory of the stand computer DCPU. The number of counted balls, the total number of counted balls, and the value of the accumulated ball balance BB are respectively added and stored. When the value of the execution processing flag F1 is not in the game, the input of the ball detection signal from the table counting machine 4 is ignored. The counting action performed by the player is invalid.

FIGS. 83 to 84 are flowcharts showing the SUB (G) processing.
PU25 first uses the same algorithm as described above.
By performing the determination processing of steps d1 and d2, it is determined whether or not the value of the execution processing flag F1 indicates that the game is being played.

If the value of the execution processing flag F1 is not a game, the platform CPU 25 proceeds to step d3 and outputs a lending prohibition signal to the sand lending machine 3 (step d3).
Suspended lending of all balls in the sand lending machine 3, SU
The process of B (G) ends, and the process returns.

If the value of the execution processing flag F1 is a game, the CPU 25 proceeds to step d4 and outputs a lending prohibition release signal to the sand lending machine 3 (step d).
4), the lending of the ball in the sand lending machine 3 is enabled, and the process proceeds to step d5.

The player inserts a predetermined amount of coins into the coin insertion slot 47 or inserts a prepaid card into the prepaid card insertion slot 46 into the sand lending machine 4 shown in FIG. By pressing the purchase amount key 36 provided on the front of the unit 2 or by operating the withdrawal number setting key 44, a predetermined number of withdrawal balls is calculated from the current amount of stored coins stored in the computer DCPU. Pachinko machine 2
Can be borrowed by discharging the ball.

The stand CPU 25 first determines whether or not an insertion detection signal for coin insertion from the sand lending machine 3 has been input (step d5). If there is no input of the insertion detection signal from the sand lending machine 3, the platform CPU 25 proceeds to step d.
Move to 7. When there is an input of the insertion detection signal from the sand lending machine 3, the stand CPU 25 adds the insertion amount に inserted into the sand lending machine 3 to the insertion amount stored in the insertion amount storage area in the personal data storage area. Then, the addition result is stored in the input amount storage area, and the input amount に inserted into the sand lending machine 3 is added to the total input amount stored in the total input amount storage area in the total data storage area. Is stored in the total input amount storage area (step d6), and the process proceeds to step d7.

The platform CPU 25 that has proceeded to step d7
It is determined whether or not a key operation signal of the purchase amount key 36 from the sand lending machine 3 has been input (step d7). If there is no input of the key operation signal, the platform CPU 25 proceeds to step d9. If a key operation signal is input,
The PU 25 adds a predetermined withdrawal amount C $ corresponding to one operation of the purchase amount key 36 to the card amount stored in the card amount storage area in the personal data storage area, and adds the amount. The result is stored in the card usage amount storage area, and a predetermined deduction amount C ￥ is added to the total card usage amount stored in the total card usage amount storage area, and the addition result is stored in the total card usage amount storage area. Then, the process proceeds to step d9.

The platform CPU 25 that has proceeded to step d9 executes
It is determined whether or not a ball withdrawal signal has been input from the sand lending machine 3 by operating the withdrawal ball number setting key 44 (step d9). If the ball withdrawal signal from the sand lending machine 3 has not been input, the stand CPU 25 ends the SUB (G) process and returns.

When the ball withdrawal signal is input from the sand lending machine 3, the stand CPU 25 stores the number of withdrawn balls KB predetermined in response to one operation of the number of withdrawn balls setting key 44, and stores the number of accumulated balls. It is determined whether or not it is within the range of the current balance BB stored in the area (step d10). If the number of withdrawn balls KB is larger than the current balance BB stored in the balance storage area, the stand CPU 25
A ball discharge disable signal is output to the sand lending machine 3 (step d1).
4), discharge of pachinko balls from the pachinko gaming machine 2 is prohibited, and the process of SUB (G) is completed and the process returns.

When the number of withdrawn balls KB is within the range of the current balance BB stored in the balance storage area, a ball discharge permission signal is output to the sand lending machine 3 (step d11). The sand lending machine 3 is allowed to discharge a predetermined number of lending balls in response to the operation of the number-of-withdrawal-balls setting key 44.

Next, the stand CPU 25 adds the number of withdrawn balls KB to the number of withdrawn balls stored in the number of withdrawn balls storage area in the personal data storage area, and stores the addition result in the number of withdrawn balls storage area. The number of dropped balls KB is added to the total number of dropped balls stored in the total number of dropped balls storage area, and the addition result is stored in the cumulative number of dropped balls storage area (step d12), and is stored in the accumulated ball storage balance area. The number of withdrawn balls KB is subtracted from the accumulated ball balance BB, and the subtraction result is stored in the accumulated ball storage area (step d13).
The process of (G) ends and the process returns.

As a result of this processing, in the sand lending machine 3, each of the cash used by the player for lending out the ball, the card usage amount C, and the number of withdrawn balls KB is calculated by the computer D.
The input amount and the total input amount, the card usage amount and the total card usage amount, the number of deducted balls and the total number of deducted balls which are inputted to the CPU and stored in the memory of the computer DCPU are respectively added and stored. The number of debited balls KB is subtracted from the stored ball balance BB stored in the memory of the computer DCPU, and the stored ball balance BB is updated and stored.

Here, the processing executed by the sand CPU of the sand control unit 45 will be described. FIGS. 119 to 120 are flowcharts schematically showing a part of the processing executed by the sand CPU. The sand CPU performs other processing such as transporting and unloading of the prepaid card in addition to this processing. However, the processing is performed according to the same algorithm as that of the related art, and a description thereof will be omitted.

After the power is turned on, the sand CPU sets the lending prohibition flag FL0 to a value 1 that specifies lending prohibition, and sets the ball discharge signal flag FL1 to a value 0 that specifies no output of a ball discharge signal (step S1). z01).

After the processing in step z01, the sand CPU
Shifts to the determination process of whether or not there is an input of a lending prohibition signal transmitted from the computer DCPU in step z02.

As described above, the stand computer DCPU
In the main processing in, when the value of the execution processing flag F1 is not a game in which 0 ≦ F1 ≦ 3 and 14 ≦ F1 ≦ 16, a lending prohibition signal is output from the computer DCPU to the sand lending machine 3. You. In this case, the sand CPU determines that the lending prohibition signal transmitted from the stand computer DCPU has been input (step z02),
The lending prohibition flag FL0 is set to 1 (step z0
3) In step z4, the process shifts to a process of determining whether or not a lending prohibition release signal transmitted from the computer DCPU has been input. Is not output, it is determined to be false, and the value of the lending prohibition flag FL0 in step z06 is set to the value 0 that defines the leasing prohibition release.
However, since the lending prohibition flag FL0 is set to 1, it is determined to be false and the process returns.

As described above, when the value of the execution processing flag F1 of the stand computer DCPU is not in the game, the sand CPU proceeds to step z02 and step z04.
And only the determination process of step z06 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined processing cycle.
No ball is discharged for lending the ball.

In the main processing of the computer DCPU, the value of the execution processing flag F1 is 4 ≦ F1 ≦ 13
If the game is being played, the computer DCP
U outputs a lending prohibition release signal to the sand lending machine 3.

In this case, the sand CPU determines that the processing of step z01 and the determination processing of step z02 are false, and then determines that a lending prohibition release signal transmitted from the computer DCPU has been input (step z04). , Set the lending prohibition flag FL0 to 0 (step z05),
Since the determination processing in step z06 is determined to be true, the process proceeds to step z07.

In this case, the lending of the ball in the sand lending machine 3 is permitted. Sand CPU first,
It is determined whether or not a coin has been inserted (step z07).

When the coin has been inserted, the sand CPU outputs an insertion signal to the stand computer DCPU (step z08), and after setting the value 1 defining the output of the ball discharge signal to the ball discharge signal flag FL1, (Step z0
9), the process proceeds to step z19.

If it is determined in step z07 that no coin has been inserted, the sand CPU proceeds to step z1.
The process proceeds to 0, and it is determined whether or not a purchase key operation signal has been input (step z10).

If the purchase key operation signal is input, the sand CPU determines whether or not the amount data stored in the inserted prepaid is sufficient for lending a ball (step z11), and stores the data in the prepaid. Only when the amount data is sufficient for lending a ball, the process proceeds to step z12, a purchase key operation signal is output to the computer DCPU (step z12), and 1 is set to the ball discharge signal flag FL1.
Is set (step z13), and the process proceeds to step z19. When it is determined that the money amount data stored in the prepaid is not enough for the lending of the ball, the process directly proceeds to step z19.

When the result of the determination in step z11 is true, the amount of the ball lending is subtracted from the amount data stored in the prepaid card, and the amount data is written to the prepaid card. Since these processes are performed by the same algorithm as the conventional one, the description is omitted.

If it is determined in step z10 that the purchase key operation signal has not been input, the sand CPU
Proceeds to step z14, and determines whether or not there is a key input for setting the number of withdrawn balls (step z14).

If there is a key input for setting the number of withdrawn balls, the sand CPU proceeds to step z15, where
A ball withdrawal signal is output to the PU (step z15), and the process waits until an answer transmitted from the computer DCPU is received (step z16).

When a ball withdrawal signal is input to the base computer DCPU, as described above, in SUB (G),
A comparison is made between the savings balance BB and a predetermined number of withdrawn balls KB. If the withdrawing number KB is within the range of the savings balance BB, a ball discharge permission signal is output to the sand lending machine 3, If the number of withdrawn balls KB is larger than the balance BB, a ball discharge disable signal is output to the sand lending machine 3 (step d).
9, Step d10, Step d11 and Step d1
4).

The sand CPU is a stand computer DCPU
Upon receiving the answer sent from (step z16),
It is determined whether or not the received answer is a ball discharge permission signal (step z17). If the received answer is a ball discharge permission signal, the ball discharge signal flag FL1 is set to 1 (step z18), and then the step is performed. While moving to z19,
If the received response is not a ball discharge permission signal, that is, if the received response is a ball discharge disable signal, the process directly proceeds to step z1.
Move to 9.

As described above, in the case where the lending prohibition is released with the lending prohibition flag FL0 being 0, in the processing from step z01 to step z19, when a coin is inserted and when a purchase key operation signal is input, One of the cases where the remaining amount of the card is sufficient for lending a ball, and the case where a ball discharge permission signal is input from the stand computer DCPU after the withdrawal ball number setting key input is detected. , The value 1 defining the output of the ball discharge signal is set in the ball discharge signal flag FL1. Except for these cases, the ball discharge signal flag FL is obtained by the processing in step z01.
1 is set to 0.

At step z19, the sand CP
U determines whether or not the value 1 that defines the output of the ball discharge signal is set in the ball discharge signal flag FL1 (step z19). If the value of the ball discharge signal flag FL1 is 1, the pachinko gaming machine A ball discharge signal is output to the counter 2 (step z20), the value of the ball discharge signal flag FL1 is cleared to 0 (step z21), and the routine returns. This allows
From the pachinko gaming machine 2, a specified number of lending balls are discharged.

If the value of the ball discharge signal flag FL1 is not 1, the sand CPU returns after the determination in step z19, so that the ball is not discharged to the pachinko gaming machine 2 for lending the ball.

After the determination process of step a10 in SUB (A) of FIG. 31 is determined to be true, a break command is detected by the subsequent determination process of step a15, and the process proceeds to step a33.

The host CPU 12 searches for a storage area corresponding to the table number corresponding to the table computer DCPU that transmitted the break command from the table number file shown in FIG. 122 set in the collected data memory 19 (step a).
33), a break flag is set in this storage area (step a34), and a machine number and a message of "resting" are written in the display area (step a35), and the process is terminated and the routine returns. As a result, the display of the machine number and the message “during a break” are displayed on the display unit 16 of the host computer HCPU, and are visually recognized by the operator.

In the base computer DCPU, the execution processing flag F1 is set to 10, and as a result, in the main processing of the next cycle, the base CPU 25 determines in steps s1 to s4 and steps s31 to s3.
After performing the determination process of step 3, step s38, step s44, step s59, step s73, step s78, and step s80, the determination process of step s89 determines the value 10 of the execution process flag F1 and proceeds to step s90. Transition.

The platform CPU 25 which has proceeded to step s90.
After decrementing the value of the timer T1 in which the break time is set by one (step s90), it is determined whether or not the value of the timer T1 is 0 (step s91).

If the value of the timer T1 is not 0,
That is, during the break time, the stand CPU 25 determines whether or not the ID card is inserted into the card terminal 5 (step s92). If the insertion of the ID card into the card terminal 5 is not detected, the platform CPU 25 transmits the value of the timer T1, that is, the remaining rest time to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s93), and ends the current cycle processing. And return.

Hereafter, the platform CPU 25 sets the execution processing flag F
Based on the value 10 set to 1, each process from the above-described determination process of step s1 to the determination process of step s92 and the process of step s93 are repeatedly performed.

Then, before the value of the timer T1 becomes 0,
In other words, during the break time, the player
When the D card is inserted, the result of the determination in step s92 becomes true, and the platform CPU 25 proceeds to step s94 and receives the ID code from the card terminal 5 (step s9).
4) Next, the ID code received this time is stored in the memory 26, and the ID code of the ID card inserted before the break is stored.
It is determined whether or not it matches the D code (step s9)
5).

If the ID code received this time does not match the ID code stored in the memory 26,
U25 ends the process this time and returns. For this reason,
Since the value of the execution processing flag F1 remains 10, it is determined whether or not a card is continuously inserted during the break time.

If the ID code received this time matches the ID code stored in memory 26,
Transmits a break end command to the island computer SCPU (step s96), shifts to step s71, switches the value of the execution processing flag F1 to 4 in the game, and transmits a game in progress command to the liquid crystal information display device DISP. (Step s72), the process is completed and the process returns.

When a break end command is transmitted from the platform computer DCPU to the island computer SCPU, the island CPU 20 receiving the command determines that the determination process of step b1 in SUB (B) of FIG. 44 is true, and then proceeds. By the determination processing of step b8, a break end command is detected (step b8), the process proceeds to step b22, a break end command is transmitted to the host computer HCPU (step b22), and the process ends and returns.

When the break end command is transmitted to the host computer HCPU, the host CPU
Determines that the determination processing of step a10 in SUB (A) of FIG. 31 is true, and then detects a break end command by the determination processing of subsequent step a17, and determines that
It moves to 45.

The host CPU 12 searches the table number file shown in FIG. 122 set in the collection data memory 19 for the storage area corresponding to the table number corresponding to the table computer DCPU which transmitted the break end command (step a45). Then, the break flag in this storage area is cleared (step a46), and the machine number and the message of "break end" are written in the display area (step a47).
After this processing, the process returns. As a result, the display of the machine number and the message “End of break” are displayed on the display unit 16 of the host computer HCPU, and are visually recognized by the operator.

However, if the ID card is not inserted into the card terminal 5 again during the break time measured from the time when the player removes the ID card from the card terminal 5, the value of the timer T1 becomes 0. It will be time up.

When the timer T1 becomes 0 and the time is up, the determination result of step s91 in FIG. 76 becomes true and the time up is detected, and the platform CPU 25 proceeds to step s97 and stores the ball in the memory 26. It transmits the savings balance BB stored in the balance storage area, the obtained amount ＄ stored in the obtained amount storage area, the ID code and the time-up command to the island computer SCPU (step s97), and then the personal data storage area , The number of hit balls, the number of payout balls, the number of deductions, the number of special prizes, the number of starts, the inserted amount, the amount of card used, the number of dropped balls and the number of counted balls are cleared to 0 (step s98), and the ID code stored in the memory 26 is Clear (step s99), step s
Then, the process proceeds to 14, the value of the execution processing flag F1 is set to 0, thereby canceling the state of the game, and the processing after step s15 is executed.

When a time-up command is transmitted from the platform computer DCPU to the island computer SCPU, the island CPU 20 having received the time-up command determines that the determination processing of step b1 in SUB (B) of FIG. 44 is true, and then proceeds. The time-up command is detected by the determination processing in step b7 (step b7), and the process proceeds to step b23 to receive the ID code, the coin balance BB, and the obtained amount ＄ transmitted from the computer DCPU (step b7). b23) Then, the host computer HCPU
Then, the time-up command, the received ID code, the stored value of the balance BB, and the acquired amount ＄ are transmitted (step b24), and the process is terminated.

When a time-up command is transmitted to the host computer HCPU, the host CPU
12 is a step a10 in SUB (A) of FIG.
Is determined to be true, a time-up command is detected by the subsequent determination process of step a16, and the process proceeds to step a36.

The host CPU 1 that has proceeded to step a36
2 is the ID sent from the island computer DCPU
The code, the stored balance BB and the obtained amount ＄ are received (step a36), and a record corresponding to the received ID code is searched from the file in the memory 14 (step a37).
The received money balance BB is stored in the money storage area of the file (step a38), and the received money amount ＄ ′ is added to the daily money amount D ′ ′ stored in the one day money amount storage area of the file. (Step a39), the addition result is stored in the one-day earned amount storage area of the file as the one-day earned amount D $ (Step a40), and the total earned amount stored in the total earned amount storage area of the file is stored. Σ ＄ ′ is added to the received earned amount （(step a4
1) The result of addition is stored in the total acquired amount storage area of the file as the total acquired amount Σ ＄ (step a42).

Next, the platform CPU 25 searches the storage area corresponding to the platform number corresponding to the platform computer DCPU which transmitted the rest command from the platform number file shown in FIG. 122 set in the collected data memory 19 (step a43). ), The rest flag in this storage area is cleared (step a44), and the process returns after finishing this process.

When the player operates and inputs a reservation key on the service item selection screen shown in FIG. 17, the determination result in step s63 in FIG.
Sets the execution processing flag to 11 (step s7
0), end the current process and return.

As a result of the execution processing flag F1 being set to 11, in the next cycle of the main processing, the main CPU 25 determines in steps s1 to s4, step s31
After executing the determination processing of steps s33, s38, step s44, step s59, step s73, step s78, step s80, and step s89, the value 11 of the execution processing flag F1 is determined by the determination processing of step sa1. Step sa2
Move to

The table CPU 25 that has proceeded to step sa2
Determines whether the value stored in the reservation flag in the memory 26 is 0, that is, whether there is no reservation (step sa2).

If the value stored in the reservation flag is 0, that is, if there is no reservation, the CPU 25 transmits a reservation message display command to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step sa3) and executes the execution processing flag. F1 is set to 12 (step sa4), and the process returns in the current cycle.

[0306] As a result of the transmission of the reservation message display command to the liquid crystal information display device DISP, the display screen on the liquid crystal display section 66 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP is shown in FIG.
The screen is switched to the stand reservation screen shown in FIG. On the stand reservation screen, a reservation key and a cancel key as the touch panel 67 are set.

As a result of the execution processing flag F1 being set to 12, in the next cycle of the main processing, the platform CPU 25 performs the determination processing of steps s1 to s4 and step s31.
After executing the determination processing of steps s33, s38, step s44, step s59, step s73, step s78, step s80, step s89, and step sa1, the value of the execution processing flag F1 is determined by the determination processing of step sa8. 12 is detected, and the routine goes to Step sa9.

The table CPU 25 which has proceeded to step sa9.
Determines whether there is reception of item input data operated and input by the player on the stand reservation screen transmitted from the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step sa9).
If there is no reception of item input data on the vehicle reservation screen,
The platform CPU 25 returns after finishing the current process.
Based on the value 12 set in the execution processing flag F1, each processing from the above-described determination processing in step s1 to the determination processing in step sa9 is repeatedly performed.

When receiving the item input data on the vehicle reservation screen, the vehicle CPU 25 proceeds to step sa10 after the determination in step sa9, and determines whether or not the received item input data is canceled (step sa). sa1
0).

If the received item input data is cancel, the CPU 25 proceeds to step s71, changes the value of the execution processing flag F1 to 4 in game, and sends a game command to the liquid crystal information display device DISP. After the transmission (step s72), the process is completed and the process returns.

[0311] If the received item input data is not canceled, the platform CPU 25 proceeds to step sa11.
In this case, the received item input data is reservation key input data. The table CPU 25 sets the value of the reservation flag in the memory 26 to 1 to store the reservation (step sa11), and then transmits the reservation command and the ID code stored in the memory 26 to the island computer SCPU (step sa11). After executing the processing of step sa12), step s71 and step s72, the present processing is finished and the routine returns. Thus, the reservation 26 is stored in the memory 26 of the computer DCPU.

When the reservation command is transmitted from the main computer DCPU to the island computer SCPU, the island CPU 20 receiving the reservation command determines that the determination processing of step b1 in SUB (B) of FIG. 44 is true, and then proceeds to the subsequent steps. By the determination process of b9, the reservation command is detected (step b9), the process proceeds to step b25, the ID code transmitted from the computer DCPU is received (step b25), and the ID code received by the host computer HCPU is received. Is transmitted (step b26), and the process returns.

When the reservation command is transmitted to the host computer HCPU, the host CPU 12 receiving this command issues
After the determination processing of step a10 in SUB (A) of FIG. 31 is determined to be true, the reservation command is detected by the subsequent determination processing of step a18, and the process proceeds to step a48.

The host CPU 12 searches for a storage area corresponding to the machine number corresponding to the machine computer DCPU that transmitted the reservation command from the machine number file shown in FIG. 122 set in the collected data memory 19 (step a).
48), a reservation flag is set in this storage area (step a49), and a record corresponding to the received ID code is searched from the file (step a5).

In the file means shown in Table 1 of U, the machine number of the reserved machine for which the reservation for tomorrow was made is stored.

In the processing for determining whether or not there is no reservation in step sa2, if a reservation has already been made,
Since the value 1 is stored in the reservation flag in the memory 26, the determination result is false.
5 sets 13 to the execution processing flag F1 (step sa5), transmits a reserved message display command to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step sa6), and sets the timer T
A predetermined value X is set to 1 (step sa7), and the process returns to the end of the current cycle.

[0316] As a result of the transmission of the reserved message display command to the liquid crystal information display device DISP, the display screen on the liquid crystal display section 66 of the liquid crystal information display device DISP switches to the non-reservable message screen shown in FIG.

As a result of the execution processing flag F1 being set to 13, as a result of the main processing in the next cycle, the platform CPU 25 determines in steps s1 to s4, step s31
Steps s33, s44, s59, s73, s78, s80, s89, steps sa1, and sa8 are performed in the determination process in step s33. The value 13 of F1 is detected, and the platform CPU 25 proceeds to step sa14.

The table CPU 25 that has proceeded to step sa14
Is decremented by one by the value of the timer T1 which has set the display time of the message indicating that the reservation is impossible (step sa1)
4) It is determined whether or not the value of the timer T1 is 0 (step sa15).

If the value of the timer T1 is not 0,
The platform CPU 25 returns after completing the current cycle of processing. Hereinafter, the platform CPU 25 sets the value of the execution process flag F1 to 1
Based on No. 3, each process from the above-described determination process in step s1 to the determination process in step sa15 is repeatedly performed.

Then, when the value of the timer T1 becomes 0, the platform CPU 25 switches the value of the execution processing flag F1 to 4 during the game, and transmits a game-in-progress command to the liquid crystal information display device DISP (step s72). This process is completed and the process returns.

The processing performed by the island computer SCPU and the stand computer DCPU when the host computer HCPU is performing business processing has been described above.

Next, the closing process performed by the host computer HCPU will be described.

It is determined whether or not the today's final data storage area corresponding to the number is full (step b73). If the today's final data storage area is full, the date storage area in the final data storage area is referred to. The data with the oldest date is cleared (step b74), the entire area of the final data storage area is shifted by the date to create a free area (step b75), and the final data temporarily stored in the free area is stored together with the date. Remember (step b7)

According to the gaming arcade management apparatus of the present invention, when the player puts the pachinko balls discharged from the pachinko gaming machine into the table counting machine for counting, the ball storage balance updated in the table computer is updated. The storage means calculates the number of balls counted based on the ball detection signal output from the table counting machine, adds and stores the number of balls counted to the ball storage balance, and when the game is over, the ball storage balance output means adds and stores the ball storage When the balance is transmitted to the host computer, and the information management means arranged in the host computer receives the coin balance, the received coin balance is stored and stored in the file means for each player identification code,
When the player lends pachinko balls using the number-of-deducted-balls input means, the information management means searches the file means corresponding to the player's identification code, and reads the stored balance of the stored ball. Together with the table computer, and the ball storage balance update storage means stores the received ball balance when it is received,
If the number of withdrawn balls corresponding to the withdrawal signal from the withdrawal ball number input means is within the range of the stored coin balance, the discharge of the number of withdrawn balls from the pachinko gaming machine from the pachinko gaming machine is permitted,
Since the number of withdrawn balls is subtracted from the stored balance of balls and the stored balance of balls is updated and stored, the player does not need to carry and move the pachinko balls obtained by the game for counting, and the game hall side counts the number of balls to be counted. Is managed as the savings balance, so that the prize exchange can be performed without any trouble.

[0431] Also, since the player can borrow pachinko balls according to the amount of pachinko balls obtained by the game, the player can play the game again with the amount of pachinko balls to be stored, and only by operating the number-of-withdrawal-ball input means. The withdrawal operation can be easily performed.

[0432] Also, the stand counting machine receives a pachinko ball dropped from the pachinko gaming machine, a ball guiding portion for guiding the pachinko ball in the receiving portion to the island, and a pachinko ball for guiding the ball guiding portion. By providing ball detection means for detecting one ball at a time, the inserted pachinko balls can be counted one ball at a time, and the pachinko balls inserted for counting are returned to the island, so that the pachinko balls obtained by the player can be counted. Movement outside the island is prevented, and a completely independent island is made possible, thereby greatly reducing the labor required for managing supply balls for the island.

[0433] Further, by connecting the information display / operation input device to the base computer by communication, data communication is performed with the base computer, and the information display / operation input device is stored in the liquid crystal display section of the base computer. The player can display the accumulated balance of his or her ball during the game.
