  The present invention relates to a gaming machine terminal device provided in correspondence with a gaming machine capable of generating a jackpot, and a gaming machine data device comprising the gaming machine terminal device and a management device for managing operating data of the gaming machine. Regarding management system.

For example, at the pachinko game hall, when the end of the business, the game continuation on the pachinko gaming machine exhibiting a specific game state advantageous to the player side such as a big hit state, a probable change state or a short time state is terminated. Instead, a predetermined number of pachinko balls (generally, a player in a single jackpot state game is given to a player on a pachinko gaming machine that exhibits a specific gaming state such as a big hit state or a probable change state. The so-called “closed store compensation” is performed to compensate for the number of pachinko balls that the side is supposed to acquire. In this case, generally, for pachinko machines in a jackpot state, game continuation is allowed only for the period until the jackpot state ends, and game continuation is prohibited only for pachinko machines in the probabilistic state or short-time state. A gaming machine terminal that can compensate for closing of the store has been proposed.
JP 2004-242766 A

However, in the above gaming machine terminal device, although compensation at the time of closing is taken into consideration, nothing is taken into account when a so-called puncture occurs in which the jackpot once generated ends during digestion. It wasn't.
Conventionally, there are game arcades that perform puncture compensation for punctures generated in this way. When performing such puncture compensation, the game hall employee checks the number of pachinko gaming machines that have been acquired at the time of the occurrence of the puncture through a management device, etc. before starting the puncture compensation work. However, there is a problem that it takes time and effort to deal with it, which is undesirable in terms of service.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to provide a gaming machine terminal that can easily and efficiently perform compensation work when a jackpot ends in the middle of digestion within the business hours of a game hall. An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and a game center data management system.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a terminal device for a gaming machine that is installed corresponding to a gaming machine that exhibits a big hit state advantageous to the player side when a preset condition is established during a game using a gaming medium.

It shows the number of pachinko balls that will be the reference value. The compensation set value can be arbitrarily set by the management device 5, and when the compensation set value is set, the compensation set value is transmitted to the corresponding calling lamp unit 3.

FIG. 7 shows the contents of a puncture compensation processing routine related to the gist of the present invention among the contents of control by a control circuit (not shown) incorporated in the calling lamp unit 3 (corresponding to the acquired game medium number calculating means). Hereinafter, this will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11 showing display examples on the display unit 3 b of the calling lamp unit 3.
That is, in FIG. 7, in the puncture compensation processing routine, first, a normal display processing routine S1 for displaying the “normal display” screen shown in FIG. 8 on the display unit 3b is executed. The normal display process is for performing an update display on the display unit 3b of the calling lamp unit 3 based on a start signal output from the pachinko gaming machine 1 in accordance with a game played in the pachinko gaming machine 1. Is.

Specifically, on the “normal display” screen, as shown in FIG. 8, the characters “today”, “hit”, “start”, “cumulative start” are displayed, and “hit” and “start” ”And“ cumulative start ”items (big hit count, jackpot start count, cumulative start count) are displayed. In this case, in the normal display processing routine S1, when a start signal is input, data corresponding to the items of “start” and “cumulative start” (number of jackpot start, cumulative start number) is incremented, and the display unit 3b. A process for updating the corresponding data is performed.
After execution of step S1, it is determined whether or not a jackpot signal is input from the pachinko gaming machine 1 (step S2). If there is no jackpot signal input (step 2: NO), the process proceeds to step 5 where it is confirmed whether or not a compensation confirmation signal is input from the remote controller 7.

  In this case, when the game hall employee performs the puncture compensation work on the pachinko gaming machine 1, the remote control of the calling lamp unit 3 corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed in order to confirm the necessity of the work. An operation for transmitting a compensation confirmation signal from the remote controller 7 is performed toward the light receiving unit 3c. The compensation confirmation signal is obtained by sequentially performing the following operations (1) and (2) in the remote controller 7. It is configured to be able to send.

That is, referring to FIG.
(1) The “compensation” key of the operation switch group 7c is operated once (for example, “compensation confirmation” is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 7b).
(2) The “Send” key of the operation switch group 7c is operated.

When the compensation start signal is not input from the remote controller 7 (step 5: NO), the process proceeds to step 7 for confirming whether the compensation start signal is input from the remote controller 7 or not.
In this case, when the game hall employee actually starts the puncture compensation work on the pachinko gaming machine 1, the remote control light receiving unit 3c of the calling lamp unit 3 corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is prior to the start of the work. The operation for transmitting a compensation start signal from the remote controller 7 is performed toward the remote control 7, and this compensation start signal can be transmitted by sequentially performing the following operations (3) and (4) in the remote controller 7. It has become.
That is, referring to FIG.
(3) The “compensation” key of the operation switch group 7c is operated twice (for example, “compensation start” is displayed on the liquid crystal display portion 7b).
(4) Operate the “Send” key of the operation switch group 7c.

If no compensation start signal is input from the remote controller 7 (step 7: NO), the process returns as it is. Accordingly, the normal display processing routine S1 is continuously executed during a period in which none of the jackpot signal, the compensation confirmation signal, or the compensation start signal is input.
On the other hand, when the jackpot signal input is confirmed (step 2: YES), the jackpot display processing routine S3 for displaying the “big jackpot display” screen shown in FIG. After sequentially executing step S4 for storing a value indicating the number of difference balls (hereinafter referred to as TY), the process proceeds to step S5 described above. The jackpot display process is for incrementing the data related to “big jackpot” and performing update display of corresponding data in the display unit 3b.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the “big hit display” screen corresponds to the “TY” character and the “TY” item as compared to the “normal display” screen (see FIG. 8). Data (number of balls in the big hit state) is additionally displayed. In this case, in the big hit display processing routine S3, the data corresponding to the “big hit” item (number of big hits) is incremented, and the data corresponding to the “TY” item according to the input of the out signal and the safe signal (big hit) The number of difference balls in the state) is updated as needed. On the “big hit display” screen, the data corresponding to the items of “big hit” and “TY” are flashed in a flash manner. Further, in this case, in order to notify that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the jackpot state or the probable change state, operations such as repeatedly turning on / flashing the display lamp 3a of the calling lamp unit 3 are also performed.

  Here, when a puncture occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 1 during the game, the player in the pachinko gaming machine 1 calls the game hall employee by pressing the call button 3d of the call lamp unit 3 to compensate for the puncture. I will ask. In this case, the employee transmits a compensation confirmation signal from the remote control 7 to the remote control light receiving unit 3c of the calling lamp unit 3 by sequentially performing the operations (1) and (2) on the remote control 7. To do.

  Then, “YES” is determined in step S5. When such a determination is made, the TY stored in step S4 and the compensation set value transmitted from the management device 5 side are read and displayed. The information is displayed on the part 3b (step S6), and then the process proceeds to step S7 described above. That is, FIG. 10 shows a “compensation confirmation display” screen displayed on the display unit 3b in response to the execution of step B6. The “compensation confirmation display” screen displays “normal display”. ”Screen (see FIG. 8), characters“ TY ”and“ TY * ”are additionally displayed, and TY (in this example, stored in step S4 as data corresponding to the item“ TY ”). "810")) is displayed, and the compensation setting value ("2000" in this example) set based on the data table of FIG. 6 on the management apparatus 5 side as data corresponding to the item "TY *" Is displayed.

  If the amusement hall employee determines that puncture compensation is to be performed by confirming “TY” and “TY *” displayed on the “compensation confirmation display” screen, the remote control 7 uses the (3) By sequentially performing operations such as (4), a compensation start signal is transmitted from the remote controller 7 toward the remote control light receiving unit 3c of the calling lamp unit 3.

  Then, “YES” is determined in step B7, and when such a determination is made, it is determined whether or not TY ≦ compensation set value (2000 in this case) (step 8). At this time, if the compensation set value is smaller than TY (step 8: NO), “error” is displayed on the display unit 3b, and the process proceeds to step S13, which will be described later, but it is equal to or greater than the compensation set value TY. In this case (step 8: YES), the average TY * (average of the number of jackpot difference balls excluding the number of jackpot difference balls corresponding to the jackpot state in which the puncture compensation work has been executed) is read and the average TY * is rounded off. The TY update display processing routine S10 is executed until a compensation end signal is input from the remote controller 7 (step S11). That is, FIG. 11 shows a “compensation display” screen displayed on the display unit 3b in response to the execution of step S9. The “compensation display” screen displays “compensation confirmation”. In the “display” screen (see FIG. 10), the character display of “TY *” is changed to “TYave.”, And the average TY * read in step S9 as the data corresponding to the item of “TYave.” (This In the example, “2230”) is displayed.

  In the TY update display process, the game hall employee sequentially puts a predetermined number of pachinko balls into the winning opening on the board surface with the front door of the pachinko gaming machine 1 subject to compensation work opened. This is a process of updating and displaying data corresponding to the item “TY” displayed on the “compensation display screen” as needed when the number of balls is changed by performing the puncture compensation work. Accordingly, since the number of jackpot difference balls displayed as “TY” increases as the puncture compensation work progresses, the puncture compensation work is terminated when the displayed value reaches “average TY *”. become. That is, in the example of FIG. 11, 1420 (= 2230−810) pachinko balls are released as the number of compensation balls. The number of difference balls generated during the puncture compensation work is used as compensation data described later.

In this case, when the game hall employee finishes the puncture compensation work in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the compensation ends from the remote control 7 toward the remote control light receiving unit 3c of the calling lamp unit 3 corresponding to the pachinko gaming machine 1 An operation for transmitting a signal is performed, and the compensation end signal can be transmitted by sequentially performing the following operations (5) and (6) in the remote controller 7.
That is, referring to FIG.
(3) The “compensation” key of the operation switch group 7c is operated three times (for example, “end of compensation” is displayed on the liquid crystal display portion 7b).
(4) Operate the “Send” key of the operation switch group 7c.

  When a compensation end signal is received from the remote controller 7 (step S11: YES), compensation data is output to the management device 5 (step S12), and the display unit 3b is switched to a state in which the “normal display” screen is displayed (step S12). S13), the puncture compensation processing routine is terminated. The compensation data output to the management device 5 is “1420” (the number of difference balls generated during the compensation work) compensated during the puncture compensation work (this is counted by the update display process). When the management device 5 receives this compensation data, “*” is displayed in “Compensation” of the record “No. 3” shown in FIG. 7 and “1420” is displayed in “Number of compensation balls”. Remember.

According to the present embodiment described above, the following operations and effects can be achieved.
If a player hits a pachinko machine 1 while the pachinko machine is in operation, a jackpot state is generated and the jackpot state is punctured, the game hall employee will call the corresponding call Whether a compensation confirmation signal is transmitted from the remote control 7 to the remote control light receiving unit 3c of the lamp unit 3 so that the compensation operation is performed on the display unit 3b of the calling lamp unit 3 and the difference ball number “TY” in the previous big hit state It is possible to read and display the compensation set value “TY *” that is a criterion for determining whether or not to make a decision.

  In this way, when the game hall employee transmits the compensation confirmation signal, “TY” and “TY *” are displayed on the display unit 3b, so that the game hall employee has the corresponding pachinko machine 1 It can be easily and quickly determined whether or not “TY” ≦ “TY *” as to whether or not the target of the puncture compensation work.

Further, the game hall employee compares “TY” with “TY *” to transmit a compensation start signal from the remote control 7 to the remote control light receiving unit 3c of the corresponding call lamp unit 3, thereby calling the call. The display unit 3b of the lamp unit 3 displays “TYave.”, Which is an average jackpot difference number representing the number of pachinko balls to be compensated in place of “TY *”, and the game hall employee selects the corresponding pachinko game. By performing the compensation work of the machine 1, “TY” displayed on the display unit 3b is updated as needed in accordance with the out signal / safe signal accompanying the work.
As a result, the game hall employee displays “TYave.” By transmitting the compensation start signal, so that the number of balls to be compensated can be confirmed instantaneously, and the corresponding pachinko gaming machine 1 As the compensation work proceeds, “TY” on the display unit 3b of the calling lamp unit 3 is updated as needed, so that the puncture compensation work can be performed efficiently and accurately, and the number of balls compensated for the player Can be confirmed from the display unit, so that a sense of security can be given.

  Subsequently, when the game hall employee finishes the puncture compensation work, the remote control 7 transmits a compensation end signal to the remote control light receiving unit 3c of the corresponding call lamp unit 3, so that the call lamp unit 3 The number of pachinko balls compensated during the puncture compensation work, which is data during the compensation work, is transmitted to the management device 5. Based on the number of pachinko balls compensated during the received puncture compensation work, the management device 5 records and manages the presence of puncture compensation and the number of compensation balls in the corresponding jackpot record.

  As a result, even if the game hall employee performs the puncture compensation work in a normal state where no big hit has occurred in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the management device 5 compensates for the number of pachinko balls compensated during the puncture compensation work. The jackpot data immediately before the start signal is transmitted can be managed including the data that is being compensated, so that it is possible to prevent normal operation data from being distorted.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, but can be modified or expanded as described below.
The present invention can also be applied to game machines other than pachinko machines, for example, a game hall where a pachislot machine is installed.

  On the “Compensation Confirmation Display” screen (see FIG. 10), compensation setting values (reference game media number) set on the management device 5 side based on the data table of FIG. 6 as data corresponding to the item “TY *” However, the average value (average TY *) for each jackpot may be displayed as the reference number of game media for the number of pachinko balls acquired by the player during the jackpot. According to this configuration, the number of pachinko balls to be compensated when a puncture occurs can be brought close to the number expected to be acquired by the player when the jackpot is actually generated.

  In the above embodiment, it is assumed that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is configured to actually release a pachinko ball when a winning occurs, but instead of releasing the pachinko ball, a score is given according to the winning. It can also be applied to a game hall system in which an encapsulated pachinko gaming machine configured to issue a recording medium in which a score is recorded at the end of the game is recorded.

The remote control 7 is provided as an input means for the compensation confirmation signal, compensation start signal and compensation end signal. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is dedicated to operation by a game hall employee for each pachinko gaming machine 1 or island. It is good also as a structure which provides an input means fixedly. Further, for example, a game hall employee requests the operator of the management apparatus 5 to transmit a state change signal to the corresponding call lamp unit 3, and in response to this, the management apparatus 5 side designates the call lamp unit 3 designated. The input means may be replaced with a configuration for transmitting the state change signal.
In the above-described embodiment, the compensation setting value, which is a reference value for determining whether or not to perform puncture compensation work, is configured to be set by the management device, but is configured to be set on the calling lamp unit 3 side. In this case, it is set by the remote controller 7.

  In the above-described embodiment, the compensation work is a manual work by an employee such that a predetermined number of pachinko balls are sequentially inserted into the winning holes on the board surface with the front door of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be compensated opened. However, for the pachinko gaming machine 1 that has been compensated, the game hall employee inputs the compensation work start signal to calculate the number of pachinko balls to be compensated, and the number of pachinko balls to be compensated It may be a semi-automatic configuration that is automatically released, and if a puncture occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 1 without inputting a compensation work start signal by a game hall employee, the compensation work is automatically performed. A fully automatic configuration may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the signal configuration includes the compensation confirmation signal, the compensation start signal, and the compensation end signal. However, the compensation confirmation signal and the compensation signal may be replaced with a single signal, and the compensation end signal is eliminated. It is also good. In this case, the configuration automatically ends when “TYave.”, Which is the reference value for puncture compensation, is reached.

  In the above-described embodiment, “TYave.” Is used as the reference value of the number of pachinko balls to be compensated at the time of puncture compensation. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which a pachinko ball number serving as a reference for compensation is provided separately.
