Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial field of application) The present invention is designed to monitor the operating status of a pachinko game machine that exhibits a special prize state in which the winning rate is extremely high when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The present invention relates to an operating status output device for a gaming machine, which is provided with information output means for storing the operating status over time and outputting the operating status only during a designated time period.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, it has been considered a good business policy to grasp the operating status of a pachinko game machine in a pachinko hall. This operating status means sales for each pachinko game machine,
In other words, it is the change situation of the difference ball number which subtracted the number of pachinko balls released from the pachinko game machine (the number of safe balls) from the number of pachinko balls driven into the pachinko game machine (the number of out balls). When the number is positive, the sales are on the pachinko hall side, and when the number of difference is negative, it is paid out to the player.
On the other hand, in recent years, pachinko game machines that exhibit a special prize state due to the establishment of a predetermined condition have become widespread, and in such a pachinko game machine, the special time period in which the special prize state occurs can be grasped as the above-mentioned operation status. It is desirable to do so. That is, by grasping the time zone when the special prize occurs, it is possible to grasp the distribution time of the special prize or the frequency of occurrence of the special prize. Therefore, by grasping the operating status of the pachinko game machine and the special condition time zone and the non-special time zone when the special prize is generated on the pachinko game machine, it is possible to determine the change in sales during the business hours of the pachinko game machine or the sales for each model. By grasping the information, it becomes possible to reliably set the sales target or execute the nail adjustment.

Therefore, in recent years, pachinko halls have been equipped with, for example, a hall computer for totaling the operating status of each pachinko game machine. By the way, since the operating status during business hours and the time zone of the special prize are stored in the computer, if you tell the computer the time zone you want to obtain information after the business closes, the operating status of the pachinko game machine for that designated time zone and The special state time zone generated in the pachinko game machine is output from the computer, whereby the operating status of the pachinko game machine in the desired time zone can be grasped.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of the conventional example that outputs information only in the designated time zone, the start time or the end time of the designated time zone may be in the middle of the prize state time zone or the non-prize time zone. Often there is. In such a case, since the output operating status becomes halfway information, there is a drawback that the effectiveness as information is reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to output the operating status in a designated time zone, but to output the operating status as information regardless of the designated time. An object is to provide an operation status output device for a pachinko game machine.

[Structure of Device] (Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention stores the operating status of a pachinko game machine that exhibits a special prize state in which a winning rate is extremely high when a predetermined condition is satisfied, as well as storing the operating status over time. In an apparatus provided with information output means for outputting the operating status only for a designated time zone, the information output means is provided with the designated time zone, and the prize state time zone and this time zone included in the designated time zone. The operation status is selectively output over the non-prize status time zones before and after.

(Operation) The information output means stores the operating status of the pachinko game machine over time, and also stores the prize state time zone in which the prize is generated in the pachinko game machine. Then, when a time zone in which information is desired to be obtained is designated after the business ends, the information output means selectively outputs the operating status over the non-specific state time zones before and after the designated time zone. Therefore, the operating status output from the information output means is effective as information, and the information analysis can be efficiently executed based on the operating status.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 2, a board surface is provided on the front of the pachinko game machine 1.
2, upper ball saucer 3 and ball firing device 4 operation handle 5 for driving
Is provided. The board surface 2 is provided with a plurality of winning holes 6 and a roulette type electric accessory 7. This electric accessory 7 is designed to be driven when a pachinko ball is won in a specific winning hole 6, and when a combination of predetermined patterns is obtained in the driving end state, a special prize state having an extremely high winning probability is presented. . A safe ball storage container 8 is arranged on the back side of the pachinko game machine 1, and temporarily stores the safe balls supplied from the ball supply device 9 and supplies the stored safe balls to the pachinko game machine 1. It is like this. here,
When the replenishment command is given, the ball replenishing device 9 allows the pachinko balls to pass and outputs a safe ball counting signal indicating the number of the pachinko balls that have passed. Further, an out-ball storage container 10 is disposed on the back side of the pachinko game machine 1, which temporarily stores the out-balls discharged from the pachinko-gaming machine 1 and at the same time stores the stored out-balls in an out-ball counter 11 It is designed to be discharged through. Here, the out ball counter 11 is
An out-ball counting signal indicating the number of passed out balls is output. Further, the pachinko game machine 1 is provided with a prize state detecting device 12 which detects that the electric accessory 7 is in the prize state and outputs a prize signal.

Next, in FIG. 1 showing the electrical configuration, a hall computer 13 as information output means has a safe ball counting signal from a ball replenishing device 9, an out ball counting signal from an out ball counter 11, and a prize state detecting device 12 Enter the special prize signal from. Further, the time zone instruction switch 14 is configured to instruct the hall computer 13 of the designated time zone by operating the switch. And the printer 15 is a computer for hall
The operation status given by 13 is printed.

Now, the hall computer 13 stores the operating status of the pachinko game machine 1 based on the safe ball count signal and the out ball count signal, that is, the number of difference balls obtained by subtracting the number of safe balls from the number of out balls over time. It has become. Further, the hall computer 13 stores the input time zone of the prize signal as the prize state time zone based on the input state of the prize signal from the prize state detection device 12, and the non-input time zone of the prize signal is in the non-prize state. Remember as time zone. When the designated time zone is instructed from the time zone instruction switch 14, the hall computer 13 indicates the operating status of the printer 15 based on the designated time zone as described later.
Output to.

 Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.

Pachinko game machine 1 by the progress of the game by the player
When the safe balls are discharged from the pachinko game machine 1 and the out balls are discharged from the pachinko game machine 1, the safe ball counting signal and the out ball counting signal are output to the hall computer 13.
Then, the hall computer 13 calculates and sequentially stores the number of difference balls obtained by subtracting the number of safe balls from the number of out balls based on each count signal. On the other hand, when the special prize signal is not output from the special prize state detection device 12, the hall computer 13 determines that it is in the non-special prize state time zone. Here, in the non-special prize time zone, the out-ball occurrence frequency is usually higher than the safe-ball occurrence frequency, so the change rate of the number of difference balls is positive.

Now, when a pachinko ball wins a specific winning hole 6, the electric accessory 7 is driven. At this time, when the electric accessory 7 has a specific picture matching, a prize state in which the winning probability is extremely high occurs. Then, the prize signal is output from the prize state detection device 12 to the hall computer 13, and the hall computer 13 stores the input period of the prize signal as the prize state time zone. Here, in the special condition time zone,
Since the frequency of occurrence of safe balls exceeds the frequency of occurrence of out balls, the rate of change in the number of difference balls is negative. Therefore, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the change in the number of difference balls increases with the passage of time in the non-special prize state time zone and decreases with the passage of time in the special prize state time zone. If the difference is positive, the pachinko hall sales are at that time, and if the difference is negative, the pachinko hall is lost at that time. There is.

At the end of the pachinko hall's business hours, the hall computer 13 stores the change in the number of difference balls shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, and also stores the non-special prize state time zone and the special prize state time zone. are doing. When the time zone instruction switch 14 is operated to indicate the time zone in which the operation status of the pachinko game machine 1 is desired to be obtained, the hall computer 13 is instructed to specify the time zone. The operation status is selectively output over all the special state time zones included in the zone and the non-special state time zones before and after the special time zone. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, when the output time zone is designated from t1 to t2, t1
Is a non-prize state time zone, so hall computer
In step 13, the non-special prize state time zone is corrected to be included in the designated time zone. Also, t2 is a non-prize state time zone,
The hall computer 13 corrects the non-special prize state time zone so as not to be included in the designated time zone. As a result, the hall computer 13 outputs the change in the number of difference balls in the time zone from the end time T1 of the prize state time zone to the end time T2 of the prize state time zone to the printer 15, and in the output time zone. The average value of the number of difference balls is output.

In short, according to the above configuration, the hall computer 13, when the time zone is designated, the time zone including all the prize state time zones included in the designated time zone Since the time zone that selectively includes the special state time zone or the non-prize state time over the specified time zone is corrected as the output time zone of the operation status, the output time zone of the operation status is the time when the prize state time zone starts or At this point, the operation status can be grasped with the special status time zone as a delimiter. Therefore, unlike the conventional example that outputs the operation status from the middle of the special prize time zone or the non-special prize time zone, it is possible to effectively grasp the operation status of the pachinko game machine as information and use it for improving the sales of the pachinko hall. .

[Effect of the Invention] As is clear from the above description, according to the operation status output device of the pachinko game machine of the present invention, the information output means is
When the designated time zone is given, the operation status is output over the special state time zone included in the designated time zone and the non-prize state time zones before and after this time zone, so that the specified time zone Although the operation status is output, there is an excellent effect that the operation status can be output as information regardless of the designated time zone so as to be effective.
