If the pachinko card 100 has been inserted, the process proceeds to the “authentication mode” 210, and if it has not been inserted, it is determined whether the pachinko card 100 has been inserted into the card reading / writing device 21 again with “card inserted?” 202. This sequence is repeated until the pachinko card 100 is inserted.

FIG. 5 shows an operation sequence of an authentication mode for judging whether a pachinko card is valid when a pachinko card is inserted into the pachinko game table of the present invention. In this operation sequence, first, after "authentication mode" 210, "read store code of card information"
At step 211, the store code is read from the store code recording unit 102 of the pachinko card 100 inserted in the card reading / writing device 21. At the stage of “store code OK?” 212, it is determined whether or not the read store code as the store identification information is valid. If the shop code is not valid, the process proceeds to the step of “card ejection” 213, the pachinko card 100 is ejected from the card reading / writing device 21, and then the operation sequence returns to the stage of “standby” 201. If the shop code is valid, the process proceeds to the step of "reading the amusement board number of each block of the card information" 214, and the amusement board number of each memory block of the pachinko card 100 is read.

At the stage of “there is a memory block having the same game console number?” 215, in the reading of the game console number of each memory block read in the stage of “reading the game console number of each block of card information” 214, If there is a pachinko game machine corresponding to the card reading / writing device 21 in which the pachinko card 100 is inserted, and the pachinko game machine 99 has the same game machine number as the pachinko card 100, the pachinko card 100 is used once in the pachinko game machine 99. It proceeds to the stage of “reading the in-use flag of the memory block” 216. "Reading the used flag of the memory block"
At step 216, the information recorded in the in-use flag 108 indicating the state of the game when the pachinko card 100 was previously used in the pachinko game table 99 is read. At the stage of "can the block be used?" 217, if the read in-use flag is zero, that is, if no bit is set, the memory block can be used again, and "use of the block is determined. "218", and then to the "play mode" 230. Here, the memory block can be used again means that the pachinko ball obtained in the previous game at the pachinko game table, that is, the number-of-balls recording unit 1 of the memory block.
That is, the pachinko balls recorded in 09 can be played again.

If there is no memory block with the same game console number at the stage of "there is a memory block with the same game console number?"
If the block is not available at step 17,
The process proceeds to the step of “reading the number of purchased balls of card information” 219. At this stage, the number of purchased balls recorded in the purchased ball number recording unit 103 of the pachinko card 100 is read. If the number of purchased balls is zero at the stage of “number of purchased balls = 0?” 220, it means that the pachinko card 100 does not have pachinko balls to be used for play, and the process proceeds to the stage of “discharge card” 213. Then, the pachinko card 100 is ejected from the card reading / writing device 21 and the process returns to the “standby” 201 stage.

If the number of purchased balls is not zero at the stage of “number of purchased balls = 0?” 220, the process proceeds to the stage of “determining the block to be used in the card” 221 and the pachinko card 100
The game console number recording unit 107 searches for an unfilled memory block from among the memory blocks in the table, and determines, for example, the first memory block that is found as a used block. in this case,

Next, the process proceeds to the step of “entering the machine number in the block to be used” 222, and the pachinko game machine corresponding to the card reading / writing device in which the pachinko card 100 is inserted is recorded in the game machine number recording section of the memory block determined as the block to be used. Enter the amusement board number. At the same time, information indicating that the game console number has been entered in the game console number recording unit 107 is entered in the blank flag. Then, the process proceeds to the “play mode” 230 stage.

FIG. 6 shows an operation sequence of the play mode which is the next stage when the pachinko card of the present invention is authenticated by the pachinko game console of the present invention. "Play mode"
First, after the stage of 230, "Is the ball rental SW ON?"
At this stage, it is determined whether or not the ball rental SW 25 of the pachinko game board 99 has been pressed (by the player). If the button has been pressed, the process proceeds to the step of “number of purchased balls = 0?” 232, where the number of purchased balls recorded in the purchased ball number recording unit 103 of the pachinko card 100 is checked, and the number of purchased balls is not zero. Then, "Subtract a predetermined number of balls A from the number of purchased balls in the card information"
Proceed to step 233. At the stage of “subtract a predetermined number of balls A from the number of purchased balls of card information” 233, for example, 500
The predetermined number of balls A for the yen is subtracted from the number of purchased balls, and the new number of purchased balls after the subtraction is recorded in the purchased number of balls recording unit. Then, “supply a predetermined number A of balls to the plate from the ball feeding section” 23
In step 4, the pachinko balls having the predetermined number A are supplied from the ball throw-out portion 26 of the pachinko game board 99 to the upper plate portion 27. If the number of purchased balls is zero at the stage of “number of purchased balls = 0?” 232, the process proceeds to the stage of “winning ball counter> 0?” 235. If the ball lending SW 25 of the pachinko game console 99 is not pressed at the stage of “ball lending SW ON?” 231, the process proceeds to the stage of “winning ball counter> 0?” 235.

At the stage of "winning ball counter>0?" 235, a prize is determined based on information such as the type of prize and the number of prize balls of each prize sent from the prize ball counter 30 of the pachinko game console 99 to the control unit 22. Determine if there was. If there is a prize, that is, if the value of the prize ball counter 30 is larger than zero, the number of possessed balls recorded in the possessed ball counting unit 24 is rewritten, or the pachinko ball is actually transferred from the ball delivery unit 26 to the upper plate 27. You have to decide whether to supply. Then, the process proceeds to the stage of “sensor 2 is ON?” 236.
If the value of the winning ball counter is zero at the stage of “winning ball counter> 0?” 235, “sensor 2 is ON?” 2
Proceed to step 42.

At the stage of "Sensor 2 is ON?" 236,
Whether the sensor 2 (28) of the pachinko game board 99 is on, that is, there is a pachinko ball upstream of the upper plate 27, or whether the sensor 2 (28) is off, that is, there is no pachinko ball upstream of the upper plate 27 to decide. When the sensor 2 (28) is on, the process proceeds to the step of reading the value of the winning ball counter (counter is reset) 239, and then to the "holding ball counting section (each winning ball number) * (each predetermined payout ball number). The number of balls B) is added "(240). If the sensor 2 (28) is on, the control unit 22 determines that it is not necessary to supply a new pachinko ball to the upper plate 27, and the type of winning recorded in the winning ball counter 30 at that time, Information such as the number of winning balls for each winning is read, and the total number of balls obtained by multiplying the number of winning balls and the corresponding number of winning balls assigned to each winning, that is, the number of obtained balls, is added to the possessed ball counting unit 24. I do. For example, assuming that three balls enter the chuck of the fifth ball and six balls enter the chuck of the tenth ball, 3 * 5 + 6
* 10 = 75 is added to the possessed ball counting unit 24. It is assumed that the winning ball counter 30 whose value has been read is reset. At the stage of “speak pseudo-sound with speaker (chinjara)” 241, a sound as if pachinko balls were actually supplied from ball ejection unit 26 is produced by speaker 32.

If the sensor 2 (28) is off at the stage of "Sensor 2 is ON?" 236, the process proceeds to the stage of "reading the value of the winning ball counter (counter is reset)" 237 and "(each (The number of winning balls) * (supply balls of a predetermined number B) to the upper plate portion ". Here, as many pachinko balls as the sum of the number of balls (acquired balls) obtained by multiplying the number of winning balls and the corresponding number of payout balls allocated to each winning as described above from the ball output section 26 to the upper plate section. 27
Actually supply to It is assumed that the winning ball counter 30 whose value has been read is reset. Then, the process proceeds to the stage of “Sensor 2 is ON?” 242.

At the stage of "Sensor 2 is ON?" 242,
The determination is made on the assumption that the value of the winning ball counter is zero, that is, there is no payout obtained by winning the chucker at that time. At this stage, the sensor 2 (28)
Is ON, there is no need to supply a new pachinko ball to the upper plate 27, and the process proceeds to the next stage. If the sensor 2 (28) is off, it is necessary to supply pachinko balls to the upper plate portion 27. To this end, the number of balls held in the held ball counting section 24 is checked. 0? "243.

If the number of possessed balls is not zero at the stage of "number of possessed balls = 0?" 243, pachinko balls are taken out from the number of possessed balls. That is, “the predetermined number of balls C
244 "and" supply a predetermined number C of balls to the upper plate portion from the ball protruding portion "245. A predetermined ball count C, for example, 50 balls, is subtracted from the ball count recorded in the ball count unit 24, and the new ball count after the subtraction is calculated as the ball count unit 24.
To record. Then, the predetermined number C of pachinko balls are supplied from the ball-drawing portion 26 to the upper plate portion 27. Here, if the number of possessed balls is less than the predetermined number of balls C, only a certain number is supplied to the upper plate portion 27 as actual pachinko balls, and at the same time, the possessed ball counting portion 2
The number of possessed balls recorded in 4 may be set to zero.

If the number of possessed balls is zero at the stage of "number of possessed balls = 0?" 243, the process proceeds to the stage of "automatic mode?" Here, the automatic mode means that when the automatic switch 36 provided on the pachinko game board 99 is pressed, the number of purchased balls recorded in the number-of-purchased balls recording unit 103 of the pachinko card 100 is automatically determined. This is a mode that allows taking out. In the case of the automatic mode, the process proceeds to the stage of “number of purchased balls = 0?” 247. If the number of purchased balls is not zero, that is, if the number of purchased balls still remains, “subtract a predetermined number of balls D from the number of purchased balls in the card information” 248
To the stage. At this stage, for example, 100 yen worth, 20
The predetermined number of balls D for 0 yen is subtracted from the number of purchased balls, and the new number of purchased balls after the subtraction is recorded in the purchased ball number recording unit 103. Then, the process proceeds to the step of “supply a predetermined number D of balls to the upper plate portion from the ball display portion” 249, and the pachinko balls having the predetermined number D of balls are transferred from the ball discharge portion 26 of the pachinko game board 99 to the upper plate portion 2.
7 is actually supplied. If the number of purchased balls is less than the predetermined number D, only the number of purchased balls is subtracted to zero,
A certain amount of pachinko balls may be supplied to the upper plate 27.

The next stage of "Speaking artificial sound with speaker (chinjara)" 241, "Sensor 2 is ON?"
When the sensor 2 (28) is ON, the next stage of “supply a predetermined number of balls C from the ball ejection portion to the upper plate portion” 245,
If the automatic mode is not set at the stage of "automatic mode?" 246, the steps following "supply a predetermined number D of balls to the upper plate portion from the ball ejection section" 249 are all "return SW ON?"
Go to step 250. At the stage of “Return SW ON?” 250, it is determined whether or not the return switch 37 provided on the pachinko amusement board 99 has been pressed, and if it has been pressed, the process proceeds to the “Return Mode” 350. The return mode will be described later. If the switch is not pressed, the message "Away SW ON
? "251. “Away from SW ON?” 251
At this stage, it is determined whether or not the leaving switch 38 provided on the pachinko game board 99 has been pressed, and if it has been pressed, the process proceeds to the "leaving mode" 300. The leaving mode will be described later. If it is not pressed, the message
N? Return to step 231.

FIG. 7 shows an operation sequence in the leaving mode. Here, the leaving in the leaving mode means that the player temporarily leaves the game console without giving up the game console currently playing, such as taking a break. When the away switch 38 is pressed, first,
At the stage of "handle operating?" 301, it is determined whether or not a play handle (not shown) is operating. If it is operating, the process returns to the play mode 230. If the game handle is not operating, the process proceeds to the stage of “Digital rotation?” 302. At the stage of "Digital rotation?" 302, it is determined whether or not a digital screen (not shown) is rotating, that is, whether or not a jackpot is being selected. If it is during digital rotation, the process returns to the "play mode" 230 stage. This is to prevent the player from hitting the jackpot while leaving the seat. If the digital rotation is not being performed, the process proceeds to the stage of “winning ball counter = 0?” 303.
At the stage of “winning ball counter = 0?” 303, all of the payouts recorded as information such as the type of winning and the number of winning balls for each winning at the winning ball counter 30 before the player leaves the seat. It is determined whether or not the winning ball counter 30 is zero based on whether the pachinko ball is supplied to the upper plate 27 as an actual pachinko ball or is recorded in the possessed ball counting unit 24 as the possessed ball number information. If the winning ball counter 30 is not zero, the process returns to the "play mode" 230.
If it is zero, the process proceeds to the step of “recording the number of balls and the date and time of entry on the card” 304.

At the stage of “recording the number of balls and writing date and time on the card” 304, the number of balls recorded in the memory block 109 of the pachinko card 100 currently used for the pachinko game is stored in the pachinko game table 99. Holding ball counting unit 2
The number of possessed balls recorded in No. 4 is recorded, and the date and time when the number of possessed balls is recorded in the possessed ball number recording unit 109 is recorded in the entry date and time recording unit 110. At the stage of "Sending the information of the game console number, the number of balls and the date and time of entry to the central management system" 305,
The game console number of the pachinko game console 99 that was playing,
At the stage of “record the number of balls and entry date and time on the card” 304, the information of the number of balls and the entry date and time recorded on the pachinko card 100 is sent to the central management system described later. At the stage of “setting the in-use flag of the currently used block of the card to 1 (in use)” 306, the bit of the in-use flag 108 of the memory block of the pachinko card 100 used for the current pachinko game is set. The pachinko card 100 is marked with a mark that indicates that the memory block is in use and can be used again in the same pachinko game console. The pachinko card 100 is ejected from the card reading / writing device 21 at the stage of “ejection the card” 307, and the pachinko game machine 9 is staged at the stage of “displaying“ resting ”” 308.
A display such as “during a break” or “during a meal” is displayed on a display unit 35 provided in the display unit 9. At the stage of “Timer Set” 309,
A timer (not shown) is set to measure a predetermined rest time of about 30 minutes or 40 minutes.

At the stage of "predetermined time?" 310,
It is determined whether or not the set time has elapsed at the stage of “timer set” 309, and if it has elapsed, the process proceeds to “erase card information in the memory of the game board” 315, and is stored in the memory 23 of the pachinko game board 99. Equivalent to the recorded card information, that is, the in-use flag, the number of balls, and the date and time recorded in the memory block in which the corresponding amusement board number of the pachinko card 100 held by the player during the break is recorded. Erase the information of. At the stage of "turn off the display of" resting "" 316, the display of "during rest" displayed on the display unit 35 is turned off, and the process proceeds to the stage of "standby" 201 where the next new player can play. .

If the time set in the "timer set" step 309 has not elapsed at the stage of "predetermined time?" 310, the process proceeds to the step of "card reinsertion?" Pachinko card 1 at 21
It is determined whether 00 has been reinserted. If the pachinko card 100 has not been reinserted, the process returns to the "predetermined time elapsed?" 310 stage, and the process is repeated until the pachinko card 100 is reinserted into the card reading / writing device 21. If the pachinko card 100 has been re-inserted into the card reader / writer 21 at the stage of “card reinsertion?”
The process proceeds to the step of “Is the card just inserted?” 312.

"Is the card just inserted?" 31
In the second stage, it is determined whether the reinserted pachinko card 100 is the card inserted immediately before, that is, the pachinko card of the player who has returned from the break or a new card. In this case, each card information recorded in the memory block in which the corresponding game console number of the reinserted pachinko card is recorded, that is, the number of balls possessed, the date and time of entry, and the information is recorded in the memory 23 of the pachinko game console. The respective card information may be compared, and if they match, it may be determined that the card was inserted immediately before. If there is no memory block in which the game console number corresponding to the reinserted pachinko card is recorded, it may be determined that the card is not the card inserted immediately before. If the card is not the card inserted immediately before, the process proceeds to the step of “discharge card” 313, and the inserted pachinko card is discharged from the card reading / writing device 21. Then, the process returns to the stage of “predetermined time elapsed?” 310. If it is the card that was inserted immediately before, it is assumed that the player has returned from the break, and the process proceeds to the step of “turning off the display of“ during break ”” 314, and the “during meal” displayed on the display unit 35 is displayed. And so on, and “Play Mode” 23
Go to 0.

FIG. 8 shows an operation sequence in the return mode. Here, the return in the return mode means that the pachinko card 100 is inserted into the card reading / writing device 2 when the player has finished playing.
It means to discharge from 1. When the return switch 37 is pressed, first, it is determined whether or not a play handle (not shown) is in operation at the stage of “handle in operation?” 351, and if it is in operation, the process returns to the play mode 230. If the game handle is not operating, the process proceeds to the stage of “Digital rotation?” 352. At the stage of "Digital rotation?" 352, it is determined whether or not a digital screen (not shown) is rotating, that is, whether a jackpot lottery is being performed, and if the digital rotation is being performed, the process returns to the "play mode" 230 stage. If the digital rotation is not being performed, the process proceeds to the stage of “winning ball counter = 0?” 353. At the stage of “prize ball counter = 0?” 353, all the payouts recorded as information such as the type of the prize and the number of prize balls for each prize in the prize ball counter 30 are the upper plate portion 2.
It is determined whether or not the winning ball counter 30 is zero based on whether the actual ball has been supplied as a pachinko ball 7 or whether it has been recorded as ball number information in the ball counting unit 24. If the winning ball counter 30 is not zero, the process returns to the "play mode" 230. If the value is zero, the process proceeds to the step of “displaying“ reconfirmation ”” 354.
The display unit 35 at the stage of “displaying“ reconfirmation ”” 354
A message such as "Reconfirm", "Do you really want to finish?", Or "Press the return SW again for confirmation" is displayed, and "SW other than return SW is ON?" 355
To the stage.

At the stage of "SW other than return SW is ON?" 355, SWs other than return SW 37, for example, unattended SW3
It is determined whether or not 8 has been pressed, and if it has been pressed, the process proceeds to the step of "clearing the display of" reconfirmation "" 356, and the display such as "reconfirmation" displayed on the display unit 35 is deleted.
It returns to "play mode" 230. "SW other than return SW
Is ON? If no switch other than the return switch 37 has been pressed at the stage of “355”, the process proceeds to the stage of “timer set” 357 and then to the stage of “predetermined time?” 358.
If a predetermined period of time, for example, 10 seconds, has passed at the stage of "predetermined time?" 358, the return SW 37 has not been pressed again despite the display of "reconfirmation", that is, The player judges that he does not intend to end the game and proceeds to the step of "clearing the display of" reconfirmation "" 356,
Further, the process proceeds to the “play mode” 230. If the predetermined time has not elapsed at the stage of “predetermined time has elapsed” 358, the process proceeds to the stage of “return SWON?” 359 and returns SW3.
It is determined whether 7 has been pressed again. If not, the process returns to the stage of "SW other than return SW is ON?" That is, “SWs other than return SW are ON?” 355
In the stage of "Return SW ON?" 359 from the stage, the player waits for a predetermined time to confirm whether or not the game is actually finished, and reconfirms. "Return SW ON
? If the return switch 37 is pressed at the stage of "359", the process proceeds to the stage of "clearing the display of" reconfirmation "" 360.

Since the player's intention to end the play has been confirmed, the display such as "reconfirmation" is turned off at the stage of "turning off the display of" reconfirmation "" 360, and the stage of "count counterfeit balls" 361. Proceed to. At this stage, the pachinko ball in the upper plate portion 27 is sent to the counter value counting portion 29 and counted by pulling a ball removal lever (not shown) using a driving device (not shown), and the counted value is counted. Add to The sensor 1 is used to see if pachinko balls remain in the upper plate 27.

At 00, the number of balls recorded in the possessed ball counting unit 24 and the date and time at that time, which is one of the possessed ball recognition information, are entered. In this case, it is desirable to fill in the unit of 1 second or 0.1 second. At the stage of “Sending the information of the game console number, the number of balls and the date and time of entry to the centralized management system” 363, the information of the game console, the number of balls and the date and time of entry, which is the same information as the pachinko card 100, is stored in the pachinko parlor. Send to central management system. These pieces of information are used, for example, at the counter of a pachinko parlor when collating a pachinko card in a centralized management system described later. At the stage of “set the used flag of the currently used block of the card to 1 (in use)” 364, the used flag of the memory block m used in the pachinko game console is set to 1 and the memory block m is free. Fill in information indicating that it is not a block. The pachinko card 100 is ejected from the card reading / writing device 21 at the stage of "ejection card" 365, and the process proceeds to the stage of "timer set" 366.

In the "timer set" step 366, a predetermined time, for example, 10 seconds, for waiting whether the pachinko card 100 once ejected is inserted again is set in the timer. At the stage of "predetermined time?" 367, it is determined whether or not the predetermined time set at the stage of "timer set" 366 has elapsed, and when it has elapsed, "erasing the card information in the memory of the game console" Proceed to step 369. Then, the process returns to the “standby” 201 stage. If the predetermined time has not elapsed at the stage of “predetermined time?” 367, the process proceeds to the stage of “card reinsertion?” 368. If it has not been reinserted, “predetermined time has elapsed?” 3
Returning to the step 67, if the card is reinserted, the process proceeds to the step “Compare the card information with the card information in the memory of the game board” 370.

At the stage of "compare card information and card information in game console memory" 370, the pachinko card 100
For example, information on the number of balls and entry date and time information written in the memory block in which the number of the game console is written, and information on the number of balls and information recorded in the memory of the game console The date and time information are compared with each other, and the process proceeds to “Is the card inserted immediately before?” 371. At the stage of “Is the card inserted immediately before?” 371, the result of the comparison at the stage of “Compare card information and card information of the game console memory” 370, and if they match, go to the “Play mode” 230. Returning, if they do not match, the process proceeds to the step of “discharge card” 372, and the pachinko card 100 is discharged from the card reading / writing device 21.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the centralized management system in the pachinko payout management system of the present invention. In the figure, a thin arrow line mainly indicates a flow of a control signal, and a thick arrow line indicates a flow of information input from a game console or a pachinko card, such as a game console number or the number of balls possessed. The centralized management system reads the information recorded on the pachinko card brought by the player, determines whether the information is valid, and if so, the amount of the prize that the player should receive, etc. Is calculated.

The centralized management system 400 includes an interface unit 401 for receiving information sent from each game console, a system memory 402 for recording information received via the interface unit 401, and a pachinko card 100 brought by a player. Read the information entered in
Alternatively, a card reading / writing device 403 for writing information on the pachinko card 100, a register 1 (404) for writing information read by the card reading / writing device 403, a register m, a register M (409), and the system memory 40
2 is compared with the information written in the register 1 (404)... M (409) to determine whether the information written in the register 1 (404). That is, pachinko card 10
A collator 405 that determines whether the information written in 0 is valid. If the collator 405 determines that the information is valid, the number of balls written in the registers 1 (404)... M (409) is counted. Tallying device 406, tallying device 406
And a display unit 407 for displaying the tally result.

The system memory 402 has a memory area corresponding to each game console, that is, a game console 1 recording unit... A game console n recording unit... A game console N recording unit. Each of the sections has a predetermined number of small memory areas in which at least a busy flag, a possessed ball number recording section, and an entry date / time recording section are set. This predetermined number is, for example, 1
The value may be set to a value exceeding the number of players per day on the game board. The information sent from each game console is the corresponding game console n
The information is recorded in the recording unit, and is sent to the collator 405 as appropriate according to a command from the system controller 408.

Register 1 (404) Register M (40)
In 9), information recorded on the card brought by the player is entered. Each register m has a game console number recording unit, a busy flag, a possession ball number recording unit, and an entry date and time recording unit, in which information on a game result of each pachinko game console played by a player is entered. For example, if information on the result of a game at a certain pachinko game machine is written in the register 1 together with the number of the game machine, the information on the game result of the next pachinko game machine is written in the register 2. When the player has been playing again on the original pachinko game board, the information of the game result is entered in the register 3. That is, pachinko card 1
It is preferable that information recorded in one block m of 00 is recorded in one register m. When the system controller 408 recognizes that the regular pachinko card 100 has been inserted into the card reading / writing device 403, the amusement machine number recorded on the pachinko card 100, the number of possessed balls which is the number of possessed balls, and the possessed ball number The entry date and time as the recognition information and the in-use flag information are stored in the register 1 (40).
4) An instruction is issued to the card reading / writing device 403 and the register 1 (404)... The register M (409) so as to be written in the register M (409).

The collator 405 is sent information on the number of balls possessed and the date and time entered in the register m.
Information on the set of play results (entry date and time and date and time held) recorded in the corresponding game console n recording section of the system memory 402, that is, the game console n recording section having the same number as the game console number recorded in the register m. The information of the number of balls is sent, and both are compared and collated. Then, when both match, information on the number of possessed balls is sent to the counting device 406. Similar comparison and collation is repeated by the amount of the register 1 (404)... Register M (409), and although the collation results match, information on the number of balls possessed is sent to the compiling device 406 one after another and integrated by the compiling device 406. .

Registers 1 (404)... When the comparison and collation for the register M (409) and the accumulation of the number of possessed balls are completed, the counting result, that is, the total number of prizes obtained by the player is displayed from the counting device 406 to the display device. It is sent to 407 and displayed on the display 407. And register 1 (404)
... The information written in the register M (409) is erased, and at the same time, among the sets of the game console 1 recording unit of the system memory 402, the game console n recording unit, and the game console N recording unit, The set is erased. At this time, information written in each memory block 1 (104)... Memory block M (105) of the pachinko card 100 may be erased and initialized. These controls are controlled by the system controller 408.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the centralized management system in the pachinko payout management system of the present invention. After “Start” 450, first, at the stage of “Is there an input from the game board n?” 451, the game machine number information, the number of possessed balls, the possessed ball recognition information, etc. are obtained from any of the pachinko machines in the pachinko parlor. It is determined whether or not it has been sent, and if it has been sent, the process proceeds to the step of “writing the number of balls and the date and time to the corresponding game console n recording section of the system memory” 452, and the corresponding game in the system memory The number of possessed balls, which is the information on the number of possessed balls, and the date and time of entry, which is the possessed ball recognition information, are written into the table n recording unit. Then, the process returns to the stage of “Is there an input from the game board n?” 451. If the above information has not been sent from the game console n at the stage of “input from game console n?” 451, the process proceeds to the stage of “card inserted?” 453.

At the stage of "Is there a card inserted?"
It is determined whether or not the pachinko card 100 has been inserted into the card reading / writing device 403, and if not, the process returns to the stage of “Are there any inputs from the game board n?” 451. If it is inserted, the process proceeds to the step of “read card information store code” 454, and further proceeds to “store code OK?”
At step 55, it is determined whether the read shop code is a legitimate one, that is, whether it is an unauthorized pachinko card. If the read shop code is not valid at the stage of “store code OK?” 455, the pachinko card 100 is ejected from the card reading / writing device 403 at the stage of “card ejection” 456.

If the read shop code is valid at the stage of "store code OK?" 455, the process proceeds to the step of "record data of each memory block m in the card in the corresponding system register" 457. . At this stage, each memory block m in the pachinko card 100, that is, memory block 1... Information of the game console number recording unit, information of the in-use flag, information of the possession ball number recording unit, and information recorded in the memory block M are written. The information of the date and time recording unit is stored in the corresponding register m, that is, register 1 (404).
(409). Pachinko card 100
The information of the game result recorded in the register 1 (40
4) Copy to register M (409).

Next, register 1 (404)... Register M
The game result information copied in (409) is compared with the game result information written in the system memory.
At the stage of “m = 1” 458, first, a variable m = 1 is set. At the stage of “sending the data written in the register m and the data recorded in the corresponding game console n recording unit in the system memory to the collator”, m = 1 first,
The game console number, the number of balls possessed, and the information on the date and time of entry recorded in the register 1 are sent to the collator 405, and the same game console number as the game console number recorded in the register 1 (here, n). The matcher 405 compares each set of the ball number information and the entry date and time information of the game result information recorded in the game table n recording section (in the system memory 402) having
Send to

The process proceeds to the step of “comparing the data from the register with the data from the system memory by the collator” 460, and the stage of the data set sent from the system memory is Among them, a data whose entry date and time matches the data sent from the register 1 is searched. If there is no match, the process proceeds to the stage of “m = M?”, And it is determined whether or not m = M, that is, whether or not the comparison and collation has been completed for all of the registers 1 to M. If it is completed, the process proceeds to the step of “displaying the total number of balls on the display” 468. If not, the process proceeds to the step of “m = m + 1” 463, the variable m is incremented, and then “the data recorded in the register m is compared with the data recorded in the corresponding game console n recording section in the system memory. To the container ”459. If there is any entry whose date and time match at the stage of “Match entry date and time?” 461, the process proceeds to the stage of “matching ball number?” 464.

At the stage of "match of the number of possessed balls?" 464, data sent from the register 1 and data sent from the system memory whose entry date and time match also have the same number of possessed balls. Determine whether or not. If they match, the process proceeds to the step of "adding the number of possessed balls to the counting device" 456, and the information on the number of possessed balls is sent to the counting device 406 and integrated there. If the number of possessed balls does not match at the stage of “matching the number of possessed balls” 464, the process proceeds to the stage of “m = M?” 466,
It is determined whether or not m = M, that is, whether or not the comparison and collation has been completed for all of the registers 1 to M. If it is completed, the process proceeds to the step of “displaying the total number of balls on the display” 468. If not, "m = m +
1 ”, the variable m is incremented, and then the data recorded in the register m and the data recorded in the corresponding game console n recording section in the system memory are sent to the collator 459. move on.

When such processing is completed for all of the registers 1 to M, the total number of balls possessed by the player is displayed on the display 406. For example, when the clerk of the pachinko parlor finishes checking the total number of balls, the process proceeds to the step of “card discharge” 469, and the pachinko card 100
Is ejected from the card reading / writing device 403, and the process returns to the stage of “Is there an input from the game board n?” 451.
