The lending device 1 as described above allows a player to use either a bill, a 500 yen coin, or an IC card taken out from another lending device. Then, a game ball is supplied to the pachinko machine via the lending device 1, so that a player can play a game with the pachinko machine using the game ball.

The player enters five coins into the coin slot 12 of the lending device 1.
When a 00-yen coin is inserted, valuable data for enabling lending of 500-yen game balls inside the device is recorded on an IC card. Then, the card reader / writer 224
This valuable value data is read by the display operation panel 1
The frequency display indicating the value of 500 yen is made on the display unit 141 of No. 4. In this state, if a game is started, the state becomes substantially the same as a cash game. That is, if the player
By operating the ball lending selection buttons 143, 144,
A ball lending request signal requesting the pachinko machine side to provide a game ball for 100 yen or 500 yen is automatically transmitted, and a predetermined number of game balls are provided to the pachinko machine. After the ball lending request signal is sent, the contents of the valuable value data recorded on the IC card are rewritten, and when the value reaches 0 yen,
It is in a state of waiting for the next 500-yen coin insertion and recording of value data worth 500 yen. After inserting the first 500 yen coin, if the next 500 yen coin is inserted continuously,
The operation is substantially the same as a prepayment game using bills described later.

When a player inserts a bill into the bill insertion slot 11 of the lending apparatus 1, the card reader / writer 224 records valuable value data corresponding to the amount of the bill on an IC card, and inserts and removes the IC card from the card. It is discharged from the mechanism 223. If the player plays the game immediately after inserting the bill, this I
The C card is pushed into the card slot 15 as it is. Thereby, the card transport mechanism 221 mounts the IC card on the card mounting mechanism 222. The value data recorded on the IC card is read by the card reader / writer 224, and a value corresponding to the current value data is displayed on the display unit 141 of the display operation panel 14. When a player plays a game, he operates the ball lending selection button 152 to make a ball lending request for a necessary value. Thereby, the required amount of game balls is provided to the pachinko machine. The value data recorded on the IC card is reduced (rewritten) by the amount of the game ball provided to the player. When the player uses an IC card extracted from another device, the IC card is inserted into the card slot 15. After that, the operation is the same as that at the time of bill insertion.

When the player operates the card return button 145 to end the game, the operation status monitor 24
To the main control unit 20 through When the valuable value data of the IC card has a residual value, the main control unit 20 causes the card to be ejected from the card insertion / ejection opening 15. If the residual value is exhausted, the card is collected through the card collection mechanism 225.

Next, the operation of the lending apparatus 1 when accepting the insertion of money (banknotes and coins) from a player and causing the IC card to record valuable value data equivalent to money will be described with reference to FIG. I do. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a procedure in the main control unit 20. When accepting the insertion of money by the player, the main control unit 20 instructs the money discrimination mechanism 211 to determine the authenticity of the money (Step S101: Yes, S
102). The authenticity determination includes the amount determination of the money.
When it is confirmed that the money is valid, the main control unit 20
Sends an operation instruction to the money holding mechanism 212 (steps S103 and S104). As a result, the inserted money is not transported to the money storage mechanism 214 and the money holding mechanism 212
Will be put on hold. The main control unit 20 that has detected that the money has been held is operated by the card reader / writer 22.
4 (step S105), and waits for confirmation of reception from the card reader / writer 224. The card reader / writer 224 sends a reception confirmation to the main control unit 20 when it is confirmed that the IC card is mounted on a predetermined portion of the card mounting mechanism 222 and the recording operation is enabled.

When the main controller 20 confirms reception within a predetermined time, the main controller 20 causes the money discriminating mechanism 211 to transmit information on the discriminated amount to the card reader / writer 224 (step S106: Yes, S107). As a result, the card reader / writer 224 starts the operation of recording the valuable value data corresponding to the amount on the IC card, and sends a normal recording notification to the main control unit 20 when the recording operation ends normally.

The main controller 20 includes a card reader / writer 22
In response to the receipt of the normal record notification from No. 4, a money transfer instruction to the money storage unit is performed (step S108: Yes, S10).
9). This allows the pending money to be stored in the money storage mechanism 21.
3 is stored. On the other hand, in the currency discriminating mechanism 211,
If it is determined that the inserted money is not valid money (step S103: No), or the card reader / writer 22
If there is no reception confirmation or normal record notification within a certain period from Step 4 (Step S106: No, S108: No), an instruction is issued to the money discharging mechanism 214, and the money held in the money holding mechanism 212 is returned to the coin. Mouth 16 or bill return slot 1
7 (step S110). At this time, the money acceptance prohibition signal is transmitted from the main control unit 20 to the control mechanism of the money insertion suppressing plate to close the bill insertion port 11 and the coin insertion port 12, thereby suppressing the insertion of money.

When the main controller 20 receives the notification that the money transfer and the money discharge have been completed normally, it returns to the standby state (step S111: Yes). On the other hand, when the money transfer or the money discharge is not completed normally, the abnormal time processing is performed (Step S111: No, S112). The abnormal-time process is, for example, a process of displaying a fact of occurrence of an abnormality on the display unit 141 of the display operation panel 14 and sending a message to a management system (not shown).

As described above, in the lending apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the accepted money is held in the money holding mechanism 212, and the recording operation of valuable value data equivalent to the amount of the money is not normally completed. In this case, since the pending money is returned, it is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of a trouble that the player cannot play the game and cannot refund the money even though the player has inserted the genuine money. Since the corresponding operation is not required for the administrator of the rental device, it is possible to reduce an increase in cost for troubleshooting.

The inserted money is stored in the money holding mechanism 21.
2. If the above-mentioned recording operation is not completed normally, the held money is returned as it is, so that fraudulent money is thrown in and the genuine money is returned. Can be prevented. However, when it is not necessary to consider the occurrence of this kind of misconduct, the money storage mechanism 213 may not be provided, and the same amount of money as the accepted money may be returned from the money storage mechanism 213.

<Second Embodiment> Next, a description will be given of an embodiment in which the lending device 1 described in the first embodiment enhances the security in use of valuable value data recorded on an IC card. In this embodiment, an integrated management device is installed at a predetermined place in a game arcade, and the integrated management device and a plurality of lending devices are connected via communication means so that the management of the service price can be performed in an integrated manner. Here is an example of a system that did:

Each lending device notifies the lending device 1 described in the first embodiment, for example, when the IC card is removed, the identification data of the IC card and the valuable value data recorded on the IC card to the integrated management device. And a means for inquiring the integrated management device of the validity of the IC card when the IC card is inserted into the card insertion / ejection slot 15 and using the result of the inquiry to record the IC card. Be able to decide whether to take action. In the following description, components having the same functions as the components of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. The notifying means and the inquiry means are the controller CNT shown in FIG.
Can be realized by software. Note that an integrated management device is added to a communication partner in the communication control unit 23 (FIG. 2) in the controller CNT according to this embodiment.

In the IC card, in addition to the value data, identification data for uniquely identifying the card is recorded.

The integrated management device has means for holding identification data of the IC card together with valuable value data recorded on the card and notifying the held information in response to an inquiry from each lending device. It is. Specifically, the database management system having a field group for each IC card updates the pair of the identification data of each IC card sent from the lending device and the value data recorded on the IC card. Accumulate freely,
When there is an inquiry accompanied with the identification data of the IC card, the IC card is managed and
The value data to be recorded on the C card is notified.

The operation procedure of each lending device (corresponding to the main control unit) in such a system is as shown in FIG. In FIG. 4, the processing from the insertion of money to the card recording instruction from the card reader / writer 224 to the reception confirmation is the same as steps S101 to S106 in FIG. 3 (steps S201 to S206). In this embodiment,
After the reception confirmation from the card reader / writer 224, the integrated management apparatus is inquired as to whether the IC card and the value data recorded therein are valid (step S207). As a result of inquiry, valid IC
Only when the card is valid and the value data is also valid, the above-mentioned amount information transmission instruction is performed (step S20).
8: Yes, S209). When the normal record is notified, a money transfer instruction to the money storage unit is performed (step S2).
10).

On the other hand, when the currency discrimination mechanism 211 determines that the currency is not valid (step S203: No), or when there is no reception confirmation or normal record notification from the card reader / writer 224 (step S206: No, S210:
(No), when the integrated management device determines that the IC card is not a valid IC card (step S208: No), the control unit issues an instruction to discharge the held money (step S212). The point that the bill acceptance inhibition signal is transmitted from the main control unit 20 to the control mechanism of the bill insertion suppression plate to close the bill insertion slot 11 and the coin insertion slot 12 to suppress the bill insertion is the same as in the first embodiment. It is.
When the main control unit 20 receives the notification that the money transfer and the money discharge have been normally completed, the main control unit 20 returns to the standby state (Step S213: Yes), while the money transfer or the money discharge has not been normally completed. In such a case, the above-described abnormal process is performed (step S213: No, S214).

According to the system of the second embodiment, the identification data of all issued IC cards and the valuable data recorded on the IC card at the time of leaving the lending device are managed by the integrated management device. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the use of an unmanaged IC card in each lending device and illegal recording on the IC card.

In addition to the above configuration, the integrated management device and the external management center are connected in a form capable of two-way communication, and the management center manages the management information of the integrated management device (the identification data of the IC card and the recording thereof). Third party management can also be performed by sharing a part or all of the valuable value data.

In the first and second embodiments, the handling of money when the recording operation of the IC card is abnormal has been described in the lending apparatus for lending game balls used in pachinko machines. However, the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and various implementation variations are possible.

For example, the present invention can be similarly applied to a case where a gaming machine is a pachislot machine and a game medium is a game medal.
Further, in each of the above embodiments, the explanation has been made on the assumption that the bill insertion slot 11 and the bill return slot 17 and the coin insertion slot 12 and the coin return slot 16 are provided independently on the front surface of the housing 10, respectively. Input ports 11 and 12 are return ports 17,
16 may also be used. In this way, the shape of the housing 10 and the structure of the money holding mechanism 212 can be further simplified, and a lower-cost lending device can be realized. In each of the above embodiments, an example of a lending device that can use both coins and bills has been described. However, a lending device that can use only coins or only money may be used. In addition, the present invention is not limited to a lending device provided adjacent to a gaming machine, a lending device installed independently of the gaming machine, or a card for issuing a gaming card separate from such a lending device. The present invention can be similarly applied to a ticket issuing device. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to the recording operation of valuable value data, but also to any device that performs an operation of providing goods and services according to the value of inserted money. In the case of providing an article, after the providing operation is enabled, a sensor for detecting that the article has been properly ejected is provided, and it is determined whether or not to return the money according to an output result of the sensor. What should I do?
