Description

従来より、払出装置（賞球装置）から賞球として払い出される遊技球が払出装置に備える計数スイッチにより検出されることにより実際に払い出された遊技球の球数が所定の球数に達するごとにその旨を、外部端子板（外部出力手段）を介して、ホールコンピュータへ出力するという遊技機が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１）。
Conventionally, every time a game ball paid out as a prize ball from a payout device (prize ball device) is detected by a counting switch provided in the payout device, the number of game balls actually paid out reaches a predetermined number. In addition, a gaming machine has been proposed in which that effect is output to a hall computer via an external terminal board (external output means) (for example, Patent Document 1).

特開２０１３−０８１８６２号公報（段落［００６８］、及び図１２）Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2013-081862 (paragraph [0068] and FIG. 12)

ところが、特許文献１に記載される遊技機においては、大当りが発生しているときに、島設備からの遊技球が何らかのトラブルにより供給されなくなると、払出装置から賞球として遊技球を遊技者に払い出すことができなくなるため、遊技者は、ホールの店員等を呼んでそのトラブルを解消させることとなる。このトラブルが解消して、この時点において大当りが終了しているときには、特許文献１に記載される遊技機においては、大当りにおいて払い出されなかった遊技球を払出装置から賞球として次々に払い出すこととなるため、払出装置から賞球として払い出される遊技球の球数が所定の球数に達するごとにその旨を外部端子板を介してホールコンピュータへ出力することとなって、遊技機の遊技状態と、この遊技状態における遊技球が払い出された球数と、の関係をホールコンピュータが正確に把握することできなくなるという問題があった。
Where there is, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, when a big hit is occurring, when the game ball from the island equipment is not supplied by some trouble, the player game balls as winning balls from dispensing apparatus Therefore, the player calls a hall clerk or the like to solve the trouble. When this trouble is solved and the big hit is completed at this point, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, game balls that have not been paid out at the big win are successively paid out as prize balls from the payout device. Therefore, every time the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls from the payout device reaches a predetermined number, that fact is output to the hall computer via the external terminal board, so that the gaming machine state and, and the ball number game balls are paid out in this gaming state and Tsu problem hall computer the relationship will not be able to accurately grasp there.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、遊技機の遊技状態と、遊技状態における払い出される遊技球の球数と、の関係をホールコンピュータが正確に把握することができる遊技機を提供することにある。
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the object of the present invention is that the hall computer accurately relates the relationship between the gaming state of the gaming machine and the number of game balls to be paid out in the gaming state. It is to provide a gaming machine that can be grasped .
