Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an entire pachinko ball launching device in a pachinko game, and an entire game.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a game of an electric pachinko machine, a player operates a handle directly with his / her hand and holds the position of the handle with his / her hand. It was judged by the touch sensor installed on the steering wheel and its control device whether or not it was his hand. This is because if a player once manipulates the handle of an electric pachinko machine by hand and then the player fixes the handle with a tool, the player only has to touch the handle to launch the launch device. Is to start the operation, it is also possible to play without touching the hand by touching the handle with a conductor such as a metal piece instead of the hand.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, when a pachinko player plays a pachinko game, the action of fixing the handle with an article is a law governing the pachinko game,
Article 20 paragraph 3 of Article 20 of the Act on Regulations of Customs Business and Adequacy of Business (hereinafter referred to as the "Future Optimization Act") The condition of item (2) item (i) (b) of 3 cannot be met. Further, the installer of the pachinko game machine manages and supervises the pachinko player and the electric pachinko game machine so as not to fix the handle of the electric pachinko game machine, based on the above-mentioned wind management optimization method. I have an obligation. The current situation is that the manager and supervisor of the pachinko player and the electric pachinko gaming machine are carried out by human tactics on the side of the installer.

Further, fixing the handle of the electric pachinko gaming machine with an article or the like causes damage or failure of the handle and other accompanying devices and launching devices that are interlocked with the handle.

Furthermore, for those who aim to play an electric pachinko gaming machine by illegal means and to exploit the prize unfairly from the installer of the electric pachinko gaming machine, without using hands. Being able to operate the steering wheel also provided an environment in which it was very easy to exercise games using illegal means.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A handle position sensor is installed in a device for controlling the flight of a handle or a pachinko ball interlocked with the handle of an electric pachinko machine, and a touch sensor is used by using a signal from the position sensor. A determination device for controlling the control device of the sensor is provided. This determination device functions to validate the signal from the touch sensor only when the handle is in the non-operating position. This means that in the game of electric pachinko machines, if the player releases the handle once during the game, the pachinko game cannot be continued unless the handle returns to the non-operating position of the handle. To do. This means that even if the player fixes the handle with an item, the player cannot continue the game unless the fixed item is removed from the handle or the item is purposely returned to the inactive position with the item attached. That's what it means. These series of operations, that is, when playing the electric pachinko machine to the player, when the handle is operated, if the hand is once released, even if the handle is fixed with a tool, it is always necessary. It is necessary to remove the item and return the handle to the inoperative position. The time and effort required for the player to attach and detach the equipment for fixing the handle many times in one game has a great deterrent effect to make the player recognize that it is useless to fix the handle. Can be expected.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A position sensor is installed at a position where the non-operating position of a handle can be detected most, and a signal from the touch sensor or a signal from the touch sensor is used as a reference based on a signal obtained from the position sensor. A determination device is provided that determines the operation of the control device of the controlled launcher.

[0008]

[Example 1] of the handle of the electric pachinko,
A position sensor I for detecting a non-actuated position is installed in either a rotating part in a handle operated by a player or a device interlocking with the rotating part, and a signal obtained from the position sensor I is a touch sensor T. Is sent to the control device C.

A normal sensor T is provided inside the control device C.
Of the touch sensor T based on the signal from the position sensor I in addition to the drive circuit of FIG.
To provide.

The determination device HT is only when the signal from the touch sensor T is valid (the player touches the handle with the hand) and the signal from the position sensor I is valid (the handle is in a non-operating position). , Sends a signal to the control device of the launching device or the launching device to inform that the player has started playing the game.

When the signal from the touch sensor T is invalid (when the player's hand leaves the steering wheel), the determination device HT indicates that the player is not playing the control device of the launch device or the launch device. Send a signal to inform.

In this case, the determination device HT uses the position sensor I
The signal from the touch sensor T is not accepted unless the signal from the device is valid (the handle is in the non-operating position), and the determination device sends a signal to stop firing to the pachinko ball launching device or the control device of the launching device.

When the signal from the position sensor I is valid (the handle is in a non-operating position), the determination device HT receives the signal from the touch sensor and inputs the valid signal (the player touches the handle). Then, the determination device H causes the pachinko ball launching device or the launching device control device to
Send a signal that the player has started playing the game.

[0014]

[Table 1] The above Example 1 is represented by a table

[0015]

Second Embodiment A position sensor I for detecting a non-actuated position is installed on either the rotating portion of the handle of the electric pachinko machine operated by the player or a device interlocking with the rotating portion. The signal obtained from the position sensor I is sent to the determination device HT.

The determination device HT plays a game only when the signal from the position sensor I is valid (the handle is in the non-operating position) with respect to the launching device or the control device of the launching device which is controlled via the signal from the touch sensor. Signal to the launcher or the controller of the launcher.

[0017]

As described above, when a player releases a handle from a handle during a pachinko game, the handle cannot be restarted unless the handle returns to a completely uninitialized position. By doing so, it is possible to give the player a feeling of complexity in fixing the handle by using the article. Due to this feeling of complication, a deterrent effect on fixing the handle in a pachinko game can be expected sufficiently.
