Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described in accordance with the procedure for changing the set value. Based on the current and past game information and operation information stored in the hall computer 1, the business situation is grasped, and based on the established business plan, the game hall manager and employees are operating during the game hall business hours. Alternatively, after the business hours are over, the gaming machine 2 whose setting value is to be changed is selected, and the new setting value after the change is determined for each gaming machine 2. An administrator or employee of the game hall inputs information on the gaming machine 2 whose setting value should be changed and information on the new setting value of each of these gaming machines 2 to the hall computer 1 using the keyboard of the input unit 14 or the like. And stored in the storage unit 12.

The control unit 15 of the hall computer 1 sends a notification signal to light or blink the lamp unit (not shown) of the calling lamp 4 corresponding to the gaming machine 2 whose setting value is to be changed through the communication unit 11 and the communication line 7. Output. The lamp portion of the calling lamp 4 that has received such a notification signal lights up or flashes to notify the surroundings that the corresponding gaming machine 2 is a gaming machine whose setting value should be changed. In addition, although lighting or blinking of the lamp part of the calling lamp 4 has been described here, any notification means may be used as long as it can notify the surroundings that the corresponding gaming machine 2 is a gaming machine whose setting value should be changed. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which sound is played from the calling lamp 4.

In this way, the call lamp 4 informs the surroundings that the corresponding gaming machine 2 is a gaming machine whose setting value is to be changed, so that the adjustment person can change the setting value without having to walk around the amusement hall. The game machine 2 to be used can be easily and definitely found. Accordingly, it is possible to eliminate the complexity at the time of changing the set value and shorten the work time.

Further, not only the calling lamp 4 corresponding to the gaming machine 2 whose setting value is to be changed, but also the island lamp (not shown) of the island to which the gaming machine 2 belongs is simultaneously turned on or blinking. Also good.

In this way, the island lamp also lights up or flashes at the same time, so that the person in charge of adjusting the setting value first identifies the island to which the gaming machine whose setting value should be changed in a wide game arcade, and then Since it is only necessary to search for gaming machines on the island, it becomes possible to reach the gaming machine whose setting value should be changed without checking all the islands, and the time and labor required for changing the setting value can be further reduced. It becomes possible.

Next, when a game manager or an employee in charge of adjustment such as an employee opens the door 8 of the gaming machine 2 whose setting value is to be changed and switches the gaming machine 2 from the normal mode to the setting mode, the gaming machine 2 A setting request signal which is a display request signal is output to the hall computer 1 through the communication line 7, the base computer 5, or directly. The procedure for switching the game machine 2 from the normal mode to the setting mode performed by the person in charge of adjustment will be described later.

The control unit 15 of the hall computer 1 that has received the setting-in-progress signal output from the gaming machine 2 via the communication line 7 and the communication unit 11 causes the new gaming machine 2 stored in the storage unit 12 to be changed. Information on the set value is transmitted to the display device 6 corresponding to the gaming machine 2 via the communication unit 11 and the communication line 7. The display device 6 that has received the information on the new setting value after the change of the gaming machine 2 displays the information on the new setting value after the change of the gaming machine 2. The person in charge of adjustment confirms the information of the new setting value displayed on the display device 6 and changes the setting value of the gaming machine 2.

Next, a specific procedure of the switching operation from the normal mode to the setting mode and the setting value changing operation of the gaming machine 2 performed by the person in charge of adjustment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the door 8 of the gaming machine 2 is opened, and the power switch 16 of the gaming machine 2 is turned off. Next, when a mode setting key (not shown) is inserted into the keyhole 17, twisted from the normal mode side to the setting mode side, and the power switch 16 of the gaming machine 2 is turned on, the gaming machine 2 shifts to the setting mode and externally Output of the setting signal to the hall computer 1 is started via the concentrated terminal board (not shown), the base computer 5 and the communication line 7. This setting-in-progress signal continues to be output while the gaming machine 2 is in the setting mode.

The setting value displayed as a segment on the setting display 18 provided on the back surface of the door 8 of the gaming machine 2 is pushed to the new setting value after the change displayed on the display device 6 by pressing the setting switch 19. Then, the set value is determined by depressing a start lever 20 (see FIG. 1) provided on the front surface of the door 8 of the gaming machine 2. Thereafter, the mode setting key is turned back from the setting mode side to the normal mode side, the mode setting key is removed from the key hole 17, and the door 8 of the gaming machine 2 is closed. As a result, the gaming machine 2 shifts to the normal mode, and the normal game with the new set value after the change becomes possible. Also, the output of the setting signal from the gaming machine 2 to the hall computer 1 is stopped. The hall computer 1 detects the stop of the output of the setting signal, and outputs a display end signal to the display device 6 via the communication unit 11 and the communication line 7. The display device 6 that has received the display end signal ends the display of the new set value after the change. At the same time, the hall computer 1 outputs a notification end signal to the call lamp 4 via the communication unit 11 and the communication line 7, and the call lamp 4 that has received the notification end signal ends notification by lighting the lamp unit or the like. .

As an operation of the mode setting unit, in this embodiment, the mode setting key is used to switch between the normal mode and the setting mode of the gaming machine 2, but the operation of the mode setting unit is not limited to this. Absent. For example, the operation of the mode setting unit is switching of a changeover switch (not shown), and switching between the normal mode and the setting mode of the gaming machine 2 may be performed by switching the switch.

In addition, in this embodiment, the display device 6 is operated by switching between the normal mode and the setting mode of the gaming machine 2 as an operation of the display operation unit for starting or ending the display of the information of the new set value after the change. Although the setting signal is output from the machine 2 or the output of the setting signal is stopped, the operation of the display operation unit is not limited to this.

For example, a sensor (not shown) is provided near the door 8 of the gaming machine 2, and the sensor is connected to the hall computer 1 via an external concentration terminal board (not shown) or the base computer 5 or directly. When opened, the sensor detects the opening of the door 8, outputs a door opening signal to the hall computer 1 as a display request signal, and stops the door opening signal output when the door 8 is closed. It is good.

When any button provided on the machine 3 is pressed, a display end request signal may be output to the hall computer 1.

Further, for example, the operation of the display operation unit for starting display of the new set value after the change on the display device 6 is switching from the normal mode of the gaming machine 2 to the setting mode, and the gaming machine 2 is set by this switching. Although the intermediate signal is output, the operation of the display operation unit for the display device 6 to end the display is the depression of the start lever 20 for confirming the set value. The display end request signal may be output to the hall computer 1. Further, for example, in order for the display device 6 to start displaying the information of the new setting value after the change, the operation of the display operation unit such as switching from the normal mode to the setting mode of the gaming machine 2 is necessary. Even if the operation of the display operation unit for ending the operation is not performed, the hall computer 1 measures the time from the start of display, and outputs a display end signal from the hall computer 1 to the display device 6 after a predetermined time has elapsed. Then, the display device 6 that has received this signal may end the display, or measure the time from the display start by the display device 6, and the display device 6 may automatically end the display after a predetermined time has elapsed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the display device 6 starts displaying the information of the new set value after the change by the operation of the display operation unit. Therefore, the information of the new set value is displayed for the game machine waiting for adjustment. The state does not continue, and the time for which the information of the new set value after the change is displayed on the display device 6 can be minimized. For example, other employees, contractors, etc. It is possible to prevent fraudulent acts such as a related person seeing information on the new setting value and teaching an acquaintance.

Further, in this embodiment, the case of the rotary type gaming machine has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to a pachinko machine. In the pachinko machine, the “set value” of the gaming machine 2 indicates the position of the nail to be adjusted and the adjustment value. For example, the display device 6 displays that the angle of the right nail is tilted downward XX millimeters and the interval between the life nails is set to XX millimeters.

In the pachinko machine, as an operation of the display operation unit for the display device 6 to start or end the display of the new set value after the change, for example, a sensor (not shown) is provided near the door 8 of the gaming machine 2. If the sensor is connected to the hall computer 1 via an external concentrated terminal board (not shown), the base computer 5 or directly, and the door 8 is opened, the sensor detects the opening of the door 8. The door opening signal may be output to the hall computer 1 as a display request signal, and when the door 8 is closed, the output of the door opening signal may be stopped.

In addition, for example, the calling lamp 4 is called at a predetermined timing such as a situation in which the calling lamp 4 notifies the surroundings by lighting or blinking of the lamp unit that the setting value of the corresponding gaming machine 2 is to be changed. When one of the buttons provided on the lamp 4 or the machine 3 is pressed, the gaming machine 2 outputs a display request signal to the hall computer 1, and the setting value changing operation is completed. When any button provided on the machine 3 is pressed, the gaming machine 2 may output a display end request signal to the hall computer 1.

In addition, the other structure of this invention, an effect | action, etc. when it applies to a pachinko machine are the same as that of the case where it applies to a rotating type game machine.
