Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gaming machine stand which lends a game medium such as a pachinko ball using a magnetic card or an IC card to a gaming machine stand which is suitable for use in order to add a deposit function by a bill. It relates to a deposit device of a machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Between gaming machines such as pachinko machines, a prepaid card-type machine for renting out game media such as a pachi-con ball using a magnetic card or an IC card is installed. When a prepaid card, such as an IC card, is inserted into the card slot of a stand-by machine, game media such as pachinko balls or the like are directly transmitted from the stand-by machine or from the gaming table according to the amount information stored and held therein. It is rented out.
[0003]
As such a stand-to-stand machine, there is known a machine which has a deposit function for bills and the like, and which can update the amount information of a magnetic card or an IC card. For example, the following patent document discloses a card information updating device in a gaming system having such an updating function.
[0004]
A banknote recognition device is mounted on the prepaid card type inter-machine having such a deposit function, and a banknote is inserted into the banknote recognition device along the longitudinal direction. The bill inserted by the player is authenticated in the bill validator, and the bill determined to be a bill is sent to the back side of the inter-machine. On the back side of the gaming table and the stand-to-stand machine on the gaming island, a bill transport path is arranged together with a transport path for the game medium. The bills sent to the back side of the inter-machine are conveyed along the bill conveyance path and collected in a safe provided at the end of the game island. The banknotes collected in the safe are collected by a clerk, for example, after a game store closes.
[0005]
Here, in a game shop where a prepaid card-type intermission machine without a deposit function is installed, in order to introduce an intermission machine with a deposit function, the bills taken in each intermission machine are transported. It is necessary to set up a transport system for playing on the game island. However, depending on the amusement store, there may be a case where a space for installing the transport system cannot be provided on the back of the gaming table and the stand between machines on the gaming island. In this case, it is necessary to change the layout of the entire gaming island.
[0006]
Therefore, a depositing device having a bill discriminating function and a bill storing function is externally attached to an upper portion of each inter-machine, the deposit information of each depositing device is transmitted to the inter-machine, and the amount information of the IC card or the like is updated. By doing so, it is not necessary to install a bill transport mechanism, and it is not necessary to change the overall layout of the gaming island. Such a deposit device is disclosed, for example, on page 43 of the following non-patent document. This depositing device is provided with a bill discriminating section and a bill storing section, and while adopting a method of inserting a bill in a longitudinal direction from a bill insertion slot formed on the lower surface thereof, inserting the bill into a main body having a height dimension shorter than the entire length of the bill. The transported bills are transported along a curved transport path, and are stored while being wound up in a roll shape.

[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when such an external depositing device is mounted on the upper part of each inter-machine, there is a fear that the following adverse effects may occur.
[0010]
A call lamp unit is mounted on the upper side of each game console. The call lamp unit has a call button in the event of a game machine failure, a call lamp blinking by operating the call button, a game history such as the number of jackpots. An information display screen is attached. Therefore, when the depositing device is mounted on the upper side of the inter-machine, the depositing device is located between the calling lamp units of the adjacent gaming tables. If the deposit device protrudes forward from the calling lamp unit, the deposit device becomes an obstacle, making it difficult or impossible for a clerk to check the blinking state of the lamp from the side.
[0011]
In addition, if a structure is adopted in which bills are stored in a rolled state in order to reduce the size of the depositing device, the transport path of the inserted bills becomes curved, and the bills are wound into a roll. Since the paper money is taken out and stored, the paper money is easily jammed inside. When the banknotes are jammed, a recovery operation such as removal of the banknotes from the depositing device by a clerk or the like is necessary, and during that time, the player must wait. Such time, even if small, is painful for the player.
[0012]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, an object of the present invention is to propose a depositing device for a game machine for a game console, which has a small amount of forward projection and is less likely to cause banknote jams.
[0013]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a depositing device for a gaming machine for a gaming machine to be arranged above a gaming machine arranged adjacent to a gaming machine,
From the opening for depositing device mounting formed on the gaming island front panel arranged on the upper side of the gaming table and the inter-machine, at least a part of the opening is inserted into the back side of the gaming island front panel, It is characterized in that it can be fixed to the front panel of the game island.
[0014]
According to the present invention, since a part of the depositing device is inserted into the back side of the game island front panel, the amount of protrusion forward from the game island front panel can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the visibility of the calling lamp unit disposed above each gaming table from being deteriorated.
[0015]
Here, the depositing device includes a bill insertion slot, an identification unit that determines the authenticity of the bill inserted from the bill insertion slot, and a bill storage unit that stores the bill that is identified as a bill by the identification unit. And a configuration having: The bill storage unit is the part that requires the largest space. Therefore, if it is possible to fix the bill storage unit to the gaming island front panel in a state where the bill storage unit is inserted into the back side of the gaming island front panel from the opening for mounting the depositing device, the gaming island front panel in the depositing device. The amount of protrusion from the front can be greatly reduced.
[0016]
In addition, in order to suppress or avoid the occurrence of a banknote jam inside the depositing device, it is desirable that the banknote storage unit has a structure in which banknotes in a flat state are stacked and stored in the thickness direction.
[0017]
In this case, in a state where the bill storage portion is fixed to the gaming island front panel, the bill storage portion may be projected in a direction orthogonal to the gaming island front panel. In order to reduce the amount of protrusion of the game island front panel to the rear side, the bill storage unit may be protruded in a direction inclined with respect to the orthogonal direction of the game island front panel.
[0018]
Furthermore, it is desirable to simplify the bill transport path in order to prevent the bill from being jammed inside the depositing device. That is, it is desirable that the bill transport path that transports the bill inserted from the bill insertion slot toward the bill storage unit be a linear transport path.
[0019]
In this case, if the bill storage unit is configured to stack bills conveyed along the linear conveyance path in a direction orthogonal to the linear conveyance path, the bills have been conveyed to the banknote storage unit. The bill can be stored in the bill storage section simply by pushing the bill in the orthogonal direction. Moreover, since bills can be transported and stored in a flat state, the risk of jamming bills can be greatly reduced.
[0020]
Next, collection of the banknotes stored in the banknote storage unit of the depositing device may be performed by removing the depositing device from the game island front panel. In this case, a device case in which the identification portion and the bill storage portion are formed, and a lock / unlock for fixing the device case to the gaming island front panel and releasing the fixing to the gaming island front panel. And a mechanism in which the bill insertion slot is formed on the front surface of the device case.
[0021]
Instead, only the bill storage unit of the depositing device may be taken out to collect bills. In this case, an apparatus case in which the identification section and the bill storage section are formed, the bill storage section detachably attached to the apparatus case, and the bill storage section being the apparatus case. In order to attach / detach to / from the device case, the attachment / detachment opening formed in the device case and the bill storage unit attached to the device case from the attachment / detachment opening are fixed to the device case and fixed to the device case. And a lock / unlock mechanism for releasing the bill, and a structure in which the bill insertion slot and the attachment / detachment opening are formed on the front surface of the apparatus case.
[0022]
Next, the bill insertion slot can insert a bill along the long side direction from the short side edge thereof.
[0023]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, a description will be given of a gaming system provided with a deposit device of a gaming machine for a gaming table to which the present invention is applied.
[0024]
FIG. 1 is a partial front view showing a game system according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing an internal configuration and a control system of the depositing device, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the depositing device taken out. is there. The basic configuration of the game system 1 according to the present embodiment is a general one, and includes a game island attachment frame 3 for forming the game island 2 and a plurality of game islands attached along the game island attachment frame 3. Gaming unit 4. Each gaming unit 4 includes a gaming table 5 such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine, a call lamp unit 6 disposed above the gaming table 5, and a prepaid card type disposed adjacent to the left side of the gaming table 5. The machine includes a machine 7 and a depositing device 8 for bills arranged above the machine 7.
[0025]
Each of the gaming tables 5 is attached to the gaming island mounting frame 3 with a certain gap, and the inter-stand machine 7 is inserted into the gap between the gaming tables 5 and fixed to the gaming island mounting frame 3. In addition, the call lamp unit 6 disposed above each gaming table 5 is fixed to the front surface 9 a of the vertical game island front panel 9 fixed to the game island mounting frame 3. The depositing device 8 on the upper side of each inter-machine 7 is detachably fixed to the game island front panel 9 as described later.
[0026]
The prepaid card type stand-to-spot machine 7 is the same as that generally used, and a card insertion slot 7a is formed in the lower part of the front surface, and a display screen is provided in the middle position. An operation unit 7b is arranged therein, and a communication unit 7c for communicating with a card reader / writer (not shown), a gaming table 5, a deposit device 8, and an external management computer 10, and the like. And a control unit 7d for controlling the driving of. When a prepaid card composed of an IC card, a magnetic card, or the like is inserted from the card insertion slot 7a, the inter-machine 7 has a game amount of the number input from the operation unit 7b within the range of the amount information recorded therein. The medium is lent to the adjacent gaming table 5. Further, upon receiving the deposit information from the deposit device 8, the amount information of the prepaid card is updated and rewritten to the amount information obtained by adding the amount corresponding to the deposited amount.
[0027]
Next, as can be clearly understood from FIG. 3, the device case 11 of the depositing device 8 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape that is long in the front and rear directions, and its front end portion 12 is slightly more vertically and horizontally than the other case body portion 13. Are large and protrude forward from the gaming island front panel 9. That is, in the game island front panel 9, a rectangular opening 9 b having a size such that the front end portion 12 just fits is formed in an upper portion of the inter-machine 7. From this opening 9b, the case body portion 13 of the depositing device 8 is inserted from the rear end side to the back side of the game island front panel 9, and the rear end of the front end portion 12 is exactly on the back surface 9c of the game island front panel 9. It is in the same state.
[0028]
The device case 11 is provided with a lock / unlock mechanism 14 having a lock piece 14a movable to a position engageable with an upper end edge portion of the opening 9b and a position outside the position. The device case 11 is fixed to the game island front panel 9 by the lock / unlock mechanism 14. If necessary, a lock release key (not shown) can be inserted through a keyhole 14c attached to the front surface 15 of the device case 11, and the lock by the lock piece 14a can be released. When the lock is released, the deposit device 8 can be removed from the game island front panel 9. The lock / unlock mechanism 14 can of course employ another type such as an electronic key.
[0029]
On the front surface 15 of the device case 11, a bill insertion slot 21 is formed horizontally at a lower portion thereof, and inside the device case 11, the bill insertion slot 21 is horizontally inserted toward the rear end side from the bill insertion slot 21. A horizontal transport path 22 (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 2) for transporting bills horizontally as it is is formed. A portion of the horizontal transport path 22 located inside the front end portion 12 of the device case 11 is provided with a detection unit 23 such as a magnetic head for determining the authenticity of bills transported through the portion. The part 24 is arranged. A bill storage unit 25 is disposed above a portion of the horizontal transport path 22 located inside the case body 13 of the device case 11. In other words, the bill storage unit 25 is disposed inside the case body 13 inserted on the back side of the gaming island front panel 9. The bills P conveyed horizontally along the horizontal conveyance path 22 are pushed upward in a flat state, so that the bills P can be stored in the bill storage unit 25. In the bill storage unit 25, bills are vertically stacked in a horizontal plane state.
[0030]
Here, as shown in FIG. 2, a pair of transport rollers 26a, 26b, 27a, 27b are respectively disposed before and after a portion of the horizontal transport path 22 located inside the front end portion 12 of the apparatus case 11. ing. A bill sensor 28 is disposed in front of the front transport rollers 26a and 26b. A pair of transport rollers 29a and 29b are also disposed at the front end of the horizontal transport path 22 formed inside the case body 13 of the device case 11, and the bills are disposed at the rear end of the portion. A sensor 30 is arranged. The portion of the horizontal transport path 22 between the transport rollers 29a and 29b and the banknote sensor 30 functions as a temporary banknote storage unit. The bills held here are pushed upward by the bill pushing mechanism 31 arranged below and are stored in the bill storage unit 25 located above.
[0031]
The bill authenticity discrimination, the bill conveyance control, and the control of the bill pushing-up mechanism 31 are performed by the depositing device control unit 32. When the banknote sensor 28 detects that the banknote P has been inserted from the banknote insertion slot 21, the depositing device control unit 32 rotates the transport rollers 26 a and 26 b to transport the banknote P to the inside. The banknote P to be conveyed has its magnetic characteristics read by the identification unit 24. The control unit 32 determines the authenticity of the banknote P based on the read information. The bill determined to be a fake bill is discharged from the bill insertion slot 21. The bill determined to be a bill is conveyed toward the rear end side of the horizontal conveyance path 22 by the conveyance rollers 29a and 29b, and when the front end is detected by the bill sensor 30, the control unit 32 controls the conveyance of the bill. Stop and hold the bills there temporarily. Thereafter, the bill pushing mechanism 31 is driven to push the bill upward by a predetermined amount while keeping the bill horizontal. Thereby, the banknotes are stored in the banknote storage unit, and are in the state of being stacked at the lowermost position in the same posture.
[0032]
Here, when the identification unit 24 determines that the bill is a true bill, the information is transmitted to the control unit 7c of the inter-machine 7 via the communication line 33. When the identification unit 24 has a denomination identification function, denomination information is also transmitted. The control unit 7c of the machine 7 adds amount information corresponding to the price to the inserted bill to a prepaid card (not shown) inserted before the bill is inserted. It should be noted that such payment history information is transmitted to the management computer 10 via the gaming machine repeater 34 from the inter-table machine 7 and is stored therein. Also, the game history information and the like are transmitted from the control unit 5a of the gaming table 5 to the management computer 10 via the inter-table machine 7.
[0033]
In the gaming system 1 according to the present embodiment configured as described above, the depositing device 8 is configured such that the portion where the bill storage unit 25 requiring the most space is incorporated is inserted into the back side of the gaming island front panel 9. In this state, it is fixed to the game island front panel 9. Therefore, the protrusion amount L (see FIG. 2) of the front end portion 12 protruding forward from the gaming island front panel 9 can be reduced. Therefore, the call lamp unit 6 disposed at the adjacent position is not blocked by the depositing device 8 when viewed from the side.
[0034]
In the depositing device 8, the banknotes P inserted from the banknote insertion slot 21 in the horizontal state from the short side edge along the long side direction are directly conveyed along the horizontal conveyance path 22 as they are. Later, it is pushed upward in the same posture and stored in the bill storage unit 25. Therefore, the risk of banknote jams is extremely reduced as compared with the case where banknotes are transported along a complicated transport path such as a curved shape or the case where banknotes are rolled and stored. Further, even when a banknote is jammed, the recovery operation can be performed in an extremely short time because the banknote transport path is simple.
[0035]
Further, after the game store is closed, the lock by the lock / unlock mechanism 14 is released, so that the deposit device 8 can be removed from the game island front panel 9 and taken out. The operation of collecting stored banknotes can be easily performed. Further, if the lock / unlock mechanism 14 is made to be like an electronic key as described above, all the depositing devices 8 in the game store and specific game islands are installed by a command from a management computer that controls the inside of the game store. Simultaneous unlocking of the depositing device 8 and unlocking of a specific depositing device 8 are also possible, so that banknote collection work and maintenance work after closing the store can be extremely easily performed.
[0036]
(Another example of the depositing device)
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a deposit device that can be used in place of the deposit device 8 described above. The basic configuration of the depositing device 8A of the present embodiment is the same as that of the depositing device 8, and therefore, corresponding portions are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted. The deposit device 8A of the present example is configured to insert the bill P diagonally upward from the bill insertion slot 21A. In accordance with this direction, the bill conveyance path formed inside the apparatus case 11A is also a straight bill conveyance path 22A that is inclined obliquely upward. A bill storage unit 25A is disposed above the rear end of the bill conveyance path 22A. The bill transported along the bill transport path 22A is pushed up in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction and stored in the bill storage unit 25A.
[0037]
With the depositing device 8A having this configuration, the same effect as the above-described depositing device 8 can be obtained. In addition, since the bill P can be inserted diagonally from the lower side, there is an advantage that the player can easily insert the bill P into the depositing device 8A arranged on the upper side. In addition, since the bill storage unit 25A is inclined obliquely upward from the back side of the gaming island front panel 9A, compared with the case where the bill storage unit 25A projects in the orthogonal direction (the horizontal direction in the example of FIGS. 1 to 3). The amount of protrusion can be reduced. Therefore, when the space on the back side of the game island front panel 9A is narrow, it can be handled by inclining the bill storage unit 25A upward or downward to reduce the amount of protrusion to the back side.
[0038]
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing another depositing device that can be used in place of the depositing device 8. The basic configuration of the depositing device 8B of the present embodiment is the same as that of the depositing device 8, and therefore, corresponding portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and only characteristic portions will be described below. In the deposit device 8 of this example, a case body portion 13B extending rearward from a front end portion 12B of the device case 11B extends in a direction inclined downward. A bill storage unit 25B is built in the case body 13B. The bill P can be inserted obliquely upward from the lower side into the bill insertion slot 21B formed on the front surface 15B of the front end portion 12B of the device case 11B.
[0039]
The bill conveyance path 22B that conveys the bill P inserted from the bill insertion slot 21B toward the bill storage unit 25B extends linearly in a direction inclined obliquely upward inside the front end portion 12B of the apparatus case. An upwardly inclined conveying path portion 221 is formed, and a curved conveying path portion 222 that is curved downward in an arc shape from a rear end portion of the portion 221 is formed. And a downwardly inclined conveying path portion 223 extending to the upper side.
[0040]
Note that, in the depositing device 8B having this configuration, although the transport path of the banknotes is not linear but partially arc-shaped, it is a simple transport path as a whole. Therefore, the same effect as the deposit device 8 can be obtained. In the deposit device 8B of this example, the case body portion 13B inserted on the back side of the game island front panel 9B is inclined downward at a larger inclination angle than in the case of the deposit device 8A. Therefore, the protrusion amount L1 of the game island front panel 9B from the rear side can be reduced. Therefore, it is suitable when the space on the back side of the game island front panel 9B is small. Furthermore, since bills are stored in the bill storage unit 25B from the upper side, a mechanism such as the bill pushing-up mechanism 31 of the depositing device 8 can be omitted.
[0041]
As shown in FIG. 5B, the depositing device 8B of the present example has a rectangular frame shape that is in contact with the inner peripheral portion of the opening 9a of the gaming island front panel 9B formed in the device case 11B. By pivoting the upper side forward about the lower end of the wide flange 111 as shown by an arrow A and pulling the whole obliquely upward as shown by an arrow B, the case body portion 13B is pulled out from the opening 9a. be able to.
[0042]
Next, FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing still another depositing device that can be used in place of the depositing device 8 described above. Since the basic configuration of the depositing device 8C of the present example is the same as that of the depositing device 8, corresponding portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. In the depositing device 8C of this example, a bill insertion slot 21C for inserting the bill P from diagonally downward to upward is formed at the upper end portion of the front surface 15C. A rectangular opening 151 is formed below the bill insertion slot 15C on the front surface 15C. Through this rectangular opening 151, a rectangular parallelepiped bill storage cassette 25C is detachably mounted in the device case 11C from diagonally below to upward. The mounted bill storage cassette 25C is fixed to the device case 11C by a lock / unlock mechanism 14C having a structure similar to that of the lock / unlock mechanism 14 of the above-described depositing device 8.
[0043]
The bill conveyance path 22C formed inside the device case 11C includes a conveyance path portion 224 that guides the bill P inserted from the bill insertion slot 21C in a straight line obliquely upward along the insertion direction, and thereafter. It has a transport path portion 225 bent from the end in the orthogonal direction, and a transport path portion 226 extending in a direction inclined obliquely downward from the rear end toward the front. A bill storage port 251 of the detachable bill storage cassette 25C is opened below the transport path portion 226.
[0044]
Also in the depositing device 8C having this configuration, the same effect as the above-described depositing device 8 can be obtained, though the bill transport path 22C is slightly complicated. In addition, since the bills can be stored in the bill storage cassette 25C from the upper side, a mechanism such as the bill pushing-up mechanism 31 of the depositing device 8 is unnecessary. Further, since the bill storage unit is a bill storage cassette 25C that can be attached to and detached from the apparatus case 11C, there is an advantage that the work of collecting bills is simplified.
[0045]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the depositing device of the gaming machine for a gaming table according to the present invention, a game such as a bill storage unit is inserted into the back side from the opening formed in the front panel of the gaming island, and the gaming machine is used for the game. It is attached to the island front panel. Therefore, the amount of protrusion from the game island front panel to the front can be reduced. Therefore, when viewing the call lamp unit located at the adjacent position from the side, the problem that the call lamp unit is invisible or difficult to see due to the obstruction of the depositing device can be solved.
[0046]
In the present invention, a bill inserted from a bill insertion slot is conveyed along a straight bill conveyance path in a flat state, and is stored in a bill storage unit in the same flat state. Therefore, the bill transport mechanism is simplified as compared with a bill transport mechanism or a bill storage mechanism in which bills are stored in a rolled state, so that the occurrence of bill jams can be avoided or suppressed.
[0047]
Further, in the present invention, the depositing device is detachably attached to the game island front panel by a lock / unlock mechanism. Alternatively, the bill storage unit of the depositing device is mounted so as to be detachable from the depositing device. According to this configuration, the operation of collecting the stored banknotes can be easily performed.
