Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine, and is directly related to a business condition of a game store such as a jackpot occurrence ratio of another game means provided in a game area on a game board surface.
The present invention relates to a new pachinko gaming machine that can send important operation information to the centralized management device side of a game store .

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As is well known in recent years pachinko shop terminal device such as pachinko machines and the ball lending machine via a transmission line connected to a computer system, the computer system sales volume sphere-winning from each terminal device Collects information indicating the number of balls, the number of balls to be supplied, the number of balls to be out, etc., and performs centralized management of so-called all-store system such as supply instructions and stop instructions to each terminal device , business aggregation processing, etc. Are doing Then, the game store decides on a sales policy such as a nail adjustment based on the operation information thus collected.

[0003]

By the way, in recent years, many pachinko machines, such as large electric ones, have been incorporated into pachinko gaming machines in order to improve the service for the players. A pachinko machine equipped with this type of accessory has a large change in the winning rate per operating unit time depending on whether the accessory is in a specific game state of so-called jackpot or in a state other than jackpot, and it is extremely emissive. Since it is high, it is also true that it has gained the support of many players, but on the other hand, as a game store, only the profit and loss calculation obtained from the number of winning balls, the number of out balls, the number of supplementary balls, etc. It is also true that it is becoming difficult to decide the sales policy by adjusting nails for the following reasons.

[0004] In other words, electric won game with a gaming machine of this type, another
Equivalent to a so-called jackpot with a certain probability for the operation of the game
It is controlled so that a specific game state occurs,
This probability is obtained when considering a long-term cycle such as monthly or yearly, and has a considerable deviation when considered in a short cycle such as within the business hours of a day. However, with a system that aggregates only information related to profit and loss calculation as in the past, it is not possible to understand the factors involved in changes in the game state such as the occurrence of jackpots, so the probability of jackpot occurrence is determined uniquely. A business policy must be determined based on the original, or a business policy must be determined based on the intuition of the coordinator.

[0005] Therefore, even when the nail adjustment of the hitting table is considered as an example, the nail adjustment is performed when the hitting occurs due to the occurrence of the jackpot and when the hitting occurs regardless of the occurrence of the jackpot. Although the method is completely different, this distinction cannot be made at all with the conventional aggregation of profit and loss calculation only, so it is said that the jackpot was generated too much for the table where the hit was made regardless of the occurrence of the jackpot. It is quite possible to make nail adjustments based on judgment. Also, considering the case where the stoppage occurs due to illegal means such as artificially opening the variable prize device with a piano wire or the like, the conventional system cannot not only find the illegal means but also nails. The nail may be further tightened based on the judgment.

As described above, each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn
The specific contents of the information transmitted by each pachinko gaming machine P1
~ Naturally, it depends on the composition of the accessory that Pn has.
FIG. 2 shows an example of a pachinko game machine with an electric accessory. That is, FIG. 2 shows a game board of a pachinko game machine with an electric accessory.
1 is an example of a game board surface 400 including a created game area , and the game machine shown in the figure is in a first state that is disadvantageous to the player and a second state that is advantageous to the player due to the game result of a so-called slot game. It is a type that opens and closes a convertible variable winning device.

As shown in the figure, a game device 410, in which 7-segment LEDs, which is an example of a so-called variable display device as one component of another game means, is arranged in three digits, is arranged at approximately the center of the game board surface 400. As a result of another game when the game device 410 variably displays a plurality of identification information and stops.
The opening mode of the variable winning device described later is controlled corresponding to all the display modes, and thereby the profit state of the player greatly changes. And in this embodiment, a game device as another game means
With another game control signal and another game result related to the operation of the device 410
Of the specific game state detection means for detecting the specific game state of
The control system 1 also outputs the detection output via the transmission line 200.
00 is transmitted.

That is, on the game board surface 400 of the present embodiment, in addition to the normal winning ball devices 401, 402, 403 that promise only the refund of the prize balls to the winning balls and the out holes for collecting the out balls, the game. specific sphere winning regions 420a · 420b · 420c that triggers the start is provided, the Japanese
When the pachinko ball is finished in the constant spherical prize area 420a · 420b · 420c, the game device 410 is operated, the display mode is varied continuously. Then, when the game player presses the stop switch 430 provided on the front surface of the game machine, or when the game player does not press the stop switch 430 even after a predetermined time elapses after the game device 410 is operated, the game device 4
10 stops its operation, and the game device 410 at that time
The opening mode of the variable winning device 440 is controlled according to the display mode. Specifically, when the display mode of the game device 410 is [7.7.7] and the game is over, the variable winning device 440 is opened for 30 seconds, and when the game is over in other display modes, the variable prize is over. Device 440 opens for 0.6 seconds.

In this embodiment, the central variable winning area 44 is located at the center.
0a is defined as a special ball winning area. When the variable winning device 440a (special ball winning area) wins while the variable winning device 440 is opened for 30 seconds as described above, the 30-second opening is performed. After finishing, the variable winning device 44
0 continues for 30 seconds. Although a so-called tulip type is shown as an example of the variable winning device 440 in FIG. 2, other variable winning devices have a very low probability of winning inside when closed, or do not win at all, and open when winning. The present invention can be applied as long as the winning probability is improved.

A control system for controlling the operation of such a pachinko gaming machine is shown in FIG. 3. The operation will be described in detail with reference to the drawing. When the game is started, a specific ball winning area 420a When a pachinko ball wins one of the 420b and 420c, it is composed of, for example, a photoelectric sensor, a micro switch, etc., and the specific ball winning area 420a and 42a.
Specific ball detectors 421a, 421b, and 421c as specific ball detection means provided in Ob 420c generate specific ball detection signals, and the specific ball detection signals are applied to game device activation means 422.

The game device starting means 422 is for adding a start signal and a stop signal to the random number generator 423. The game device starting means 422 has a built-in counter capable of continuously counting and storing the specific sphere detection signal up to a maximum of four shots. Unless the counter overflows, a random number is added every time the specific sphere detection signal is added. Generator 4
The start signal is added to 23, and the game device 410 creates
Will move.

When the start signal is applied in this manner,
The random number generator 423 generates three series of random numbers from 0 to 9 by software, and these random numbers are added to the decoders / drivers 424a, 424b, and 424c for each series. And decoders / drivers 424a, 424b, 4
24c respectively decodes the random numbers and drives the corresponding LED display portions 411a, 411b, 411c of the game device 410. Therefore, the display mode of the game device 410 fluctuates continuously at the same time that the game device activation means 422 that has received the specific ball detection signal applies the activation signal to the random number generator 423, and the slot game is started.

When the player presses the stop switch 430 at an arbitrary timing after the slot game has been started in this way, a stop signal is output from the stop switch 430, and the stop signal is generated via the OR gate 432 to generate a random number. Section 423. Then, upon receiving this stop signal, the random number generation unit 423 stops generating random numbers.
LED display portions 411a and 411b of the game device 410
The display content of 411c is fixed at that time, and the slot game ends. Further, the game device starting means 422 also has a timer function, and even if the player forgets to press the stop switch 430, a stop signal is generated when, for example, 4 seconds have elapsed after the start signal was output to the random number generating means 423, This stop signal is sent to the random number generator 423 via the OR gate 432.
Is added to Therefore, even if the player forgets to press the stop switch 430, the slot game automatically ends when four seconds elapse after the start of the slot game. When the slot game is completed in this manner, the random number generation unit 42
From 3, a game end signal indicating the end of the game is applied to the AND logic 425 and the variable winning device control means 441.

First, the AND logic 425 receives numerical information equivalent to the random number added to the decoder / driver 424 from the random number generator 423. When the AND logic 425 receives the game end signal, the random number is generated at that time. The logical determination of the three series of random numbers output by the unit 423 is performed. When all the random numbers indicate [7], the output is set to positive logic, and when the three series of random numbers are combinations other than the above, the the output to the negative logic. Then, like and- logic 425 For example serves as a specific game state detecting means.

On the other hand, the variable winning device control means 441 checks the output logic of the AND logic 425 when it receives the game end signal, and the 0.6 second timer 44 if the output logic is negative.
A trigger is applied to the 30 second timer 443 if the output logic of the AND logic 425 is positive.

First, when a trigger is applied to the 0.6-second timer 442, the 0.6-second timer 442 oscillates for 0.6 seconds and the output drive signal is positive. And this
The drive signal is amplified by the driver 445 via the OR gate 444, and the variable winning apparatus 440a, 440b, 440c.
For driving solenoids 446a, 446b, 44
6c is excited during that time, and variable prize winning devices 440a and 440
b · 440c opens for 0.6 seconds. Then, the falling edge of the drive signal output by the 0.6-second timer is applied to the game device starting means 422 via the OR gate 447, and the counter in the game device starting means 422 is subtracted. Therefore, if the counter in the game device activation means 422 is adjusted so as to overflow at, for example, four counts, the specific ball detection signal is continuously received up to four times. 1
It will not be accepted unless the game ends and the game result appears.

On the other hand, when a trigger is applied to the 30-second timer 443, the 30-second timer 443 oscillates for 30 seconds, and the drive signal as its output becomes positive. Then, this drive signal is amplified by the driver 445 via the OR gate 444, and the solenoids 446a, 446b, 446c for driving the variable prize winning devices 440a, 440b, 440c are excited during that time, and the variable prize device 440a.・ 440b ・ 4
40c opens for 30 seconds. Further, since the output of the 30-second timer 443 is applied to one control input terminal of the AND gate 451, when the variable winning device 440 is open for 30 seconds, the logic of one control input terminal of the AND gate 451 is changed. It is positive. Further, the overflow output of the number setting means 452 is added to the other control input terminal of the AND gate 451. However, since the overflow output of the number setting means 452 is at the H level in the initial state, the special ball winning operation is performed in this state. When a pachinko ball wins the variable winning device 440a defined as a region, the special ball detector 45
The special sphere detection signal generated by 3 is applied to the maximum profit giving means 454 via the AND gate 451. Then, for example, the AND gate 451, the special sphere detector 453, and the like function as continuation condition detecting means.

The maximum profit giving means 454 opens the variable winning device 440 again for 30 seconds when certain conditions are satisfied, and gives an extremely large profit to the player. Specifically, the maximum profit giving means 454 is logically configured to start its operation when a special sphere detection signal is applied through the AND gate 451. When the operation is started, the output of the 30-second timer 443 is monitored. Then, after the output is completed, the trigger is applied to the 30-second timer 443 only once via the OR gate 448. Accordingly, if the variable prize device 440a wins during the time when the variable prize device 440 is open for 30 seconds, the variable prize device 440 again sets 3
It will be opened for 0 seconds. Since the AND gate 451 is also open when the variable prize device 440 is open for 30 seconds, the variable prize device 4 is opened when the variable prize device 440 is open for 30 seconds.
As long as the player wins within 40a, the variable winning device 440 repeats the opening of 30 seconds endlessly.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of times setting means 452 is set.
The falling edge of the output of the 30-second timer 443 is counted by a counter built in the counter, and when this counter counts a set number, for example, 10, the overflow output of the number-of-times setting means 452 falls to L level. As a result, since the AND gate 451 is closed, the special sphere detection signal generated thereafter is output to the maximum profit providing means 45.
Therefore, the variable winning device 440 becomes 10
When the opening for the 30 second time is completed, the maximum profit giving means 454 generates a reset signal instead of outputting a driving signal to the 30 second timer 443, and this reset signal resets the number setting means 452 via the OR gate 447. At the same time, the counter built in the game device starting means 422 is subtracted. If the variable prize device 440 does not win the variable prize device 440a during the opening of the variable prize device 440 for 30 seconds, the special sphere detection signal is not added to the maximum profit giving means 454. After completion, the device is initialized. And, for example, an OR gate 448,
The 30-second timer 443 or the like functions as a repetitive drive control means.

By the way, since the variable winning device 440 is constructed as described above so that the internal winning efficiency is remarkably improved, the variation of the form of the variable winning device 440 in the course of the game is not changed by the player. It has a significant relationship with the profits of the game and also has a significant relationship with the management status of the amusement store. Therefore, fair and appropriate care to the player guests
Aiming for detailed service, the amusement store has local characteristics
In order to conduct the sound management that takes into account the location and conditions, specific
Detection output from game state detection means and operation of another game means
It is desirable to know precisely the operation information involved in the change aspect of variation input prize apparatus 440 including another game control signals relating to.

For example, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine shown in FIG. 2, the factors involved in the variation of the mode of the variable winning device 440 include (a). (B) the number of times that the display of the game device 410 has a so-called jackpot display mode of [7.7.7] within a unit time; The number of times a slot game was played in a unit time, (c). The number of balls that have won the specific ball winning area 420 within the unit time,
(D). The number of times the variable winning device repeats opening for 30 seconds in response to a special ball detection signal command within a unit time,
Etc. can be considered. The unit time here is
Depending on the desire, the business hours of the day may be set as a unit time, or
Each pachinko machine is operating for a specified time
It can be set as a unit time or can be set appropriately.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the variable winning device 440 is used.
In order for the control system 100 to recognize the information related to the variation in the above mode, the signals at each point shown in FIG. 3 are transmitted to the control system 100, and the signals transmitted on the control system 100 side are integrated and stored. Specifically, (a). In order to grasp the number of times that the display of the game device 410 has changed to the jackpot display mode within the unit time, the variable winning device 44 is used.
1 transmits the trigger added to the 30-second timer 443,
(B). In order to grasp the number of times the slot game has been played within the unit time, the game device activation means 422 transmits an activation signal added to the random number generation means 423, and (c).
In a unit time, a specific ball detection signal is transmitted to grasp the number of balls that have won the specific ball winning area 420,
(D). The drive signal added to the 30-second timer 443 by the maximum profit giving means 454 in order to grasp the number of times the variable winning device has repeatedly opened for 30 seconds in response to the command of the special ball detection signal within the unit time. To transmit.

The terminal point ABCD in FIG. 3 shows an example of the take-out port of these signals, and a concrete transmission system and a configuration example of the transmission system are shown in detail in FIG. The transmission system shown in FIG.
Signals generated at points A, B, C, and D in the pachinko gaming machine Pi (i is a natural number from 0 to n) scanned by the decoder 111 on the 10 side are transmission lines 202a and 202b corresponding to each signal. The integration memories 160a and 160 are latched by the latch circuit 112 on the transmission control device 110 side via the transmission control devices 202c and 202d, and correspond to the respective information.
The values are accumulated in b.160c.160d and stored. In the illustrated embodiment, the terminal designation address by the decoder 111 and each integration memory 160a, 160b, 160c, 1
Since the addresses of 60d are matched with each other in terms of hardware, information can be collected very quickly in this embodiment.

Next, the detailed configuration of the transmission system shown in FIG. 4 will be described together with its operation. The basic clock oscillated by the oscillator 113 which determines the basic operation speed of the transmission system takes a count value from 0 to 7. Ring counter 114
Of the ring counter 114, which is added in synchronization with the basic clock, is applied to a decoder 115 for controlling the timing, and the decoder 115 decodes the count value of the ring counter 114. To generate various control signals from 0 to 7. One transmission cycle is completed while various control signals from 0 to 7 generated by the decoder 115 make one cycle.
Further, the most significant digit of the ring counter 114 is added to the clock input terminal of the ring counter 116, and the count value of the ring counter 116 is used for addressing the pachinko gaming machine as the terminal and of the accumulating memories 160a, b, c. Used for addressing.

That is, the count value of the ring counter 116 is applied to a decoder 111 for designating the address of the terminal device, and the decoder 111 decodes this and designates the first to n-th terminal devices. Then, while the count value of the ring counter 116 is incremented by one, the ring counter 11
Since the count value of 4 makes one cycle, the data transmission cycle with the pachinko gaming machine ends while the decoder 111 designates a certain pachinko gaming machine.

For example, as a result of a slot game being played on the first pachinko gaming machines, the display mode of the game device 410 is [7,7,7] (that is, a big hit).
Let's say The display mode of the game device 410 is [7
[7.7], the variable winning device control means 441 applies a trigger to the 30-second timer 443 via the OR gate 448, and this trigger is derived to the point A. (See FIG. 3) Then, referring to FIG. 4, a driving current flows through the driver circuit Da by the trigger derived at the point A, and the pachinko game machine
The relay 211a in the switchboard 210 serving as the output terminal board is closed. In addition, this switchboard 210 is a pachinko
It is provided in a predetermined part on the back side of the game machine, and is used in pachinko game shops.
Is connected to the central control device.

On the other hand, at a certain timing, the ring counter 1
When the count value of 14 becomes 1, the decoder 111 designates the first unit by turning on the first output and turning on the sweep driver DR1. When the sweep driver DR1 is turned on in this way, from the power supply V to the photocoupler Pa, the transmission line 202a, the relay 211a, and the terminal designation line 201.
A current flows through the path, and the phototransistor forming the photocoupler Pa is turned on.

Further, the latch circuit 112 has four storage locations from La to Ld, and the storage locations are each A in FIG.
The latch circuit 112 is assigned to the signals at the points, points B, C, and D.
The input signal is latched at the timing when the load signal as the output is added. Therefore, when the phototransistor constituting the photocoupler Pa is turned on as described above, the storage location La of the latch circuit 112 stores the occurrence of the jackpot at the timing when the decoder 115 raises the load signal, and its output is It is added to the memory control means 161 in the accumulation memory 160a.

In addition to the output of the latch circuit 112, the decoder 115 receives load, count, and write control signals from the decoder 115, and a memory address from the address bus AD. When the load signal is applied from the decoder 115, the memory control means 161 applies the preset enable signal PE to the preset counter 162, and the preset counter 162 presets the numerical value derived on the output line of the memory 163. The decoder 115 is the 0th
When the first, second, and seventh outputs are activated, the buffer gate 117 is activated, so that the memory control means 161 supplies the count value of the ring counter 116 via the buffer gate 117 (ie, The first control address is added, and the memory control means 161 gives this address to the memory 163 as it is. Therefore, at this time, the storage content of the address assigned to the first unit of the memory 163 is derived from the output line of the memory 163. Since the stored content of the address assigned to the first unit in the memory 163 indicates the integrated value of the number of jackpots generated in the first unit up to the immediately preceding operation cycle, the preset counter 162 stores The integrated value of the number of jackpots that have occurred in the first unit up to the cycle is preset.

Subsequently, when the decoder 115 raises a count signal, the count signal is supplied to the memory control means 16.
1, the memory control means 161 determines that the storage location La of the latch circuit 112 stores the occurrence of a jackpot when this count signal is added.
A count-up clock ck is output to 62. Therefore, in the present operation example, the count-up clock ck is added to the preset counter 162, so that the preset counter 162 has the first operation cycle before the immediately preceding operation cycle.
The integrated value of the number of jackpots generated in the dais is incremented by one.

Subsequently, when the decoder 115 raises the write signal, the write signal is applied to the memory control means 161. When the write signal is applied, the memory control means 161 sends the write control signal W to the memory 163. Add. As a result, the memory 163 stores the value derived on the output line of the preset counter 162 (that is, the integrated value of the number of jackpots generated in the first unit up to the immediately preceding operation cycle to the jackpot generated in the first unit in the current operation cycle). Is stored.) By executing the same operation as described above each time the output signal of the decoder 111 specifies each pachinko gaming machine P1 to Pn, the number of jackpots accumulated in each pachinko gaming machine P1 to Pn is stored in the memory 160a. 163. Further, the integration memories 160b, c, and d have the same configuration as that of the integration memory 160a.
Since · d is also configured similarly to the relay 211a, or by performing the same operation as in the integrated value integrated memory 160b for the number of slot games, the integrated value of the winning number to JP Teitama winning region There the integrated memory 160c, the integrated value of the number of fluctuation winning device was repeated opening of 30 seconds by the prize to special ball prize area on the integrated memory 160d, are each stored.

As described above, each integration memory 160a / b
・ The integrated value of the necessary information is stored in c and d, while the CPU
Reference numeral 130 denotes each of the accumulation memories 160a, b, and b at the timing when the occupation of the address bus AD is permitted by the decoder 115.
The information stored in cd is read.

That is, when the outputs Nos. 3 to 6 of the decoder 115 are at the H level, the buffer gate 117 is deactivated, and
The buffer gate 118 is activated. Therefore, the CPU
Reference numeral 130 denotes a latch circuit 119 via the system bus SB for the table address of the pachinko gaming machine from which data is to be collected.
Is written to the address bus AD at the timing when the buffer gate 118 is activated, and the table address is given to the memory 163 via the memory control means 161. Then, information of the designated pachinko gaming machine is read from the addressed address in the memory 163, and is sent to the system bus SB via the output buffer 164.

[0039] It should be noted that, from the integrated memory 160a when to collect the accumulated number of jackpots that have occurred in each of the pachinko game machine P1~Pn, from the integrated memory 160b when to collect the accumulated value of the number of slot games, especially Teitama the integrated memory 160c or <br/> et when collecting an integrated value of the winning number to the winning area, varies winning device by winning into special ball prize area 30
Needless to say, data is collected from the integration memory 160d when the integrated value of the number of times of opening for two seconds is collected. Further, the OR gate OR2 is for preventing the transmission system from operating accidentally when the CPU 130 occupies the address bus AD.
2 is at the H level (that is, when the decoder 115 is not outputting the load count write control signals), the decoder 111 is activated.

The information collected in this way is sent to the CPU 13
0 is output processing (for example, C via the I / O port 310).
Displayed on RT311. Print out from the printer 321 via the I / O port 320. (Stored in the magnetic disk 331 via the I / O port 330).

FIG. 5 shows the CRT 3 thus displayed.
11 shows an example of a display screen 11 for each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn, as well as the number of profitable balls, the number of lost balls, and the number of differences, as well as the number of large hits, the number of games, the number of specific ball winnings, and the fluctuation of the winning device. The number of times and the like are displayed. The data printed out from the printer 321 and the data stored in the magnetic disk 331 are the same as the data displayed as described above, and therefore are not shown in duplicate, but the operator collects them in this way. By analyzing the data, it is possible to accurately determine what kind of game progress each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn is placed in.

For example, if the number of jackpots is low but it is stopped, it can be judged that the obstacle nail for the normal winning hole is open, and the number of games is increased.
And if a large equivalent number and is high and specific ball winning count maintaining a certain probability will be able to determine that nails are open for a particular sphere winning area. In addition, if the number of big hits with respect to the number of games occurs with a higher probability than the average, it may be possible to judge that it is an effect of an uncertain random number factor. If the number of changes in the device is extremely high, it can be judged that there is some illegal activity.

By using the data collected in this way, instead of performing the calculation processing based on the number of winning balls and the number of payout balls as in the conventional case and controlling the hitting, a large number of times (this kind of pachinko game In the machine, when the big hit occurs, the number of hits is usually reached), and the hit stop control may be performed.

In the above, the large number of wins, the number of specific ball winnings,
The example of the transmission system in the case of collecting the number of games / variable prize apparatus as the number of fluctuations as data is shown. However, in the case of collecting data indicating the number of winning balls, the number of out balls or the number of supply balls,
A micro switch, a photoelectric sensor, or the like for detecting the occurrence of a winning ball or an out ball, which is a hitting ball, is provided at a predetermined position of each pachinko game machine, and an accumulation memory 160 corresponding to each sensor is provided as a transmission control system. Latch circuit 1
Twelve storage locations, a transmission line 202, etc. may be provided and the same operation as described above may be performed. Switches S1 and S2 in FIG.
Indicates the circuit arrangement positions of these sensors, and the open terminals of the switches S1 and S2 are connected to a transmission line (not shown). Then, for example, the relay 211
a, the latch circuit 112, the accumulation memory 160a, etc. as the specific game state detection output counting means, for example, the relay 21
1d, the latch circuit 112, the accumulation memory 160d, etc. each function as a continuation condition detection output counting means.

By the way, it goes without saying that the type of information related to the predetermined gaming state in which the profit of the player sharply increases changes according to the type of the accessory provided in the pachinko gaming machine. FIG. 6 shows an example of a pachinko gaming machine having a role other than the above, and what kind of information should be transmitted in the case of a pachinko gaming machine having such a role will be discussed below.

FIG. 6 shows a gaming board surface 400 of a pachinko gaming machine having an accessory of a form other than the above. The outline of the structure and operation of the gaming machine shown in FIG.
Basically, if a pachinko ball that is driven in like an ordinary pachinko gaming machine is collected in the out hole 501 , it will be a profit for the game store, and one of the winning ball devices 502, 503, 504.
The back mechanism is configured so that a predetermined number of prize balls are refunded if the player wins the prize balls 505 and 506, tulips 508 and 509, and other prize ball devices described later. To explain the characteristic point, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine of FIG. 6, when the special winning hole 520 as the special ball winning area is won in the process of playing the game as described above, the variable winning device 530 is, for example, 10. It is controlled to open for 2 seconds. Since the variable prize device 530 is a very large hitting ball prize device, once it is opened, a large number of prize balls are returned to the player, so that the variable prize device 530 is opened. The degree of the winning rate for the prize hole 520 has a significant relationship with the profit of the player, and the player's profit is increased if the special prize hole 520 is in a game state where it is easy to win, and conversely, the special prize hole 520 is increased.
If the player is in a gaming state in which it is difficult to win a prize, the profit of the player decreases. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine of FIG. 6, the probability of winning in the special winning hole 520 can be adjusted according to the state of the hit ball winning tool 540 provided in the middle of the flow path where the launched pachinko ball reaches the special winning hole 520. Like that.

FIG. 7 shows a special prize hole 520 serving as a starting point of the variable prize winning device 530 and the special prize hole 5.
The relationship of the hit ball prize winning tool 540 that regulates the winning probability of the prize 20 is shown in an enlarged manner. To be more specific, ball hitting prize 5
40 has a vertically long winning hole 541 formed substantially in the center of a board for attaching itself to a game board surface 400 of a pachinko gaming machine, and a spindle 542 fixed to both sides of the winning hole 541.
, Movable wing pieces 543 each having a triangular shape are pivotally supported. An obstacle piece 544 is integrally formed with the movable wing piece 543 at the lower end of the outer side edge of the pair of movable wing pieces 543, and a swingback piece 545 is formed at the lower end of the inner side edge of the movable wing piece 543. Are formed integrally with the movable wing piece 543.

Each of the movable wing pieces 543 swings left and right around the support shaft 542 due to the weight of the pachinko ball, and the hammered pachinko balls flow down along the game board surface 400 so that the movable wing pieces 543 on both sides move. When flown inward, the movable wing pieces 543 swing outwardly around the support shaft 542 due to the weight of the pachinko ball, and stop when they open and close approximately 60 degrees. When the pachinko ball wins in the movable wing piece 543 while the movable wing piece 543 is opened right and left in this way, the movable wing piece 543 is closed by the force of the pachinko ball hitting the return piece 545. I do.

Further, below the hit ball prize tool 540,
Obstacle nails 550 are arranged in a funnel shape so as to guide the pachinko balls flowing below the hit ball winning tool 540 to the special winning hole 520.

When the hit ball prize tool 540 is in a closed state, most of the pachinko balls flowing down to the side of the hit ball prize tool 540 are flipped by the obstruction pieces 544 and obstacle nails 550 arranged in a funnel shape. , It hardly wins the special prize hole 520, and therefore, the variable prize winning device 53
0 rarely opens. On the other hand, when the hitting ball winning device 540 is in the open state, the pachinko balls that flow down to the side of the hitting ball winning device 540 have a high probability of being inside the obstacle nails 555 arranged along the outer side of the obstacle piece 544. The pachinko ball that flows into the inside of the obstacle nail 555 in this way enters the special winning hole 520, and the variable winning device 53
0 is also opened, for example, for 10 seconds each time a pachinko ball wins in the special winning hole 520.

Therefore, if the nail is adjusted so that the winning probability of the hit ball prize tool 540 is extremely low, the hit ball prize tool 540 can be obtained.
As long as the ball is closed, the variable prize device 530 rarely opens, but once the ball hitting prize tool 540 is opened, the variable prize device 530 will be opened with an extremely high probability thereafter, which is extremely emissive. It will be a strong pachinko machine. Therefore, in the case of this type of pachinko gaming machine, the number of winning balls, the number of out balls, or the number of replenishing balls is not simply transmitted to the control system side. If information indicating the state of the variable winning device 530 can be transmitted, more accurate management as a game store will be possible. Therefore, in order to detect this kind of information, the following method is adopted in this embodiment.

As is well known, in a pachinko gaming machine, pachinko balls that have won one of the winning ball devices are finally collected on a winning ball collecting gutter (not shown) on the back surface of the gaming machine, and the winning ball collecting gutter is not shown. Is counted by a winning ball detector provided near the exit of the game. If the winning ball device is any kind of accessory, in order to detect the pachinko ball winning the accessory, the winning pachinko ball must pass a predetermined sensor before reaching the winning ball collecting gutter. I just need.

In the case of the pachinko gaming machine shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, as information indicating a factor related to the occurrence of a gaming state in which the profit of the player fluctuates rapidly, the hit ball prize tool 540 is used.
Are opened, and the number of times the gaming state becomes easy to win in the special winning hole 520, the number of winnings in the special winning hole 520 which triggers the opening of the variable winning device 530, and the like are listed. In order to detect the number of winnings in the special winning hole 520, which triggers the opening of the variable winning device 530, as shown in FIG. 7, the special winning hole 520 includes a micro switch, a photoelectric sensor, or the like inside the special winning hole 520. What is necessary is just to provide the detector 521.

On the other hand, in order to detect the number of times that the hit ball prize tool 540 is opened and the game state in which the special prize hole 520 is easy to win is obtained, it is not necessary to simply detect the pachinko ball that has won the hit ball prize tool 540. Instead, it is necessary to detect a pachinko ball that has won the hit ball prize tool 540 when the hit ball prize tool 540 is closed. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the path through which the pachinko ball that has won the hit ball prize tool 540 reaches the prize ball collecting gutter (not shown) is branched into a first flow path 546 and a second flow path 547, and the first flow path 546 A game state detector 548 for detecting a pachinko ball flowing down is provided, and a branch punch 549 swinging integrally with the movable wing piece 543 is provided in the second flow path when the movable wing piece 543 is closed. When the movable wing piece 543 is opened while the movable wing piece 543 is open, the first
It protrudes into the vertically long winning hole 541 so as to close the flow path.

Accordingly, when the movable wing piece 543 is closed, the pachinko ball that has won the hit ball prize winning tool 540 passes through the first flow path 5.
Although the gaming state detector 548 is turned on after passing through 46, the pachinko ball won in the hitting ball winning device 540 while the movable wing piece 543 is opened passes through the second flow path 547, so that the gaming state detector 548 is displayed. Does not work. Therefore, if the number of times the game state detector 548 is turned on is counted, the movable wing piece 5
You can see how many times 43 was opened.

The sensors arranged in the vicinity of the accessory in this manner, that is, the detector 521 and the game state detector 548
In order to incorporate the above into the transmission circuit, for example , the signal lines of the switches S1 and S2 in FIG. 4 may be connected to the switchboard 210. Further, in the present embodiment, even when the information collected in the conventional system such as the number of winning balls, the number of out balls, and the number of replenishing balls is transmitted to the control system 100, the sensor S1 of FIG. The transmission line 202 and the accumulating memory 160 corresponding to the transmission line 202 may be added for each piece of information in addition to the addition of the same portion as S2. Also, if a margin is provided in advance for the number of addresses of the integrating memory 160 and the number of output bits of the decoder 111, even when a pachinko game machine is added, it is possible to cope with it simply by adding the terminal designation line 201.

In the above description, two examples of the pachinko gaming machine with an accessory are shown and explained, but the present invention is such that the profit of the player greatly fluctuates due to the fluctuation of the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine. regarding the type of pachinko machines are those that can be applied widely.

As explained above, according to the present invention, each pachinko machine is delivered to a pachinko game store on the premise of a pachinko game machine in which the profit of the player greatly fluctuates according to the game result of another game means. The transmission line can be easily formed by connecting the gaming machine to the centralized management device on the gaming shop side through the output terminal board provided in each pachinko gaming machine. Via the transmission path, the different game control signal relating to the operation of the different game means and the detection output from the specific game state detecting means are jackpots for each gaming machine.
It can be transmitted to the central control unit side so that the generation rate etc. can be calculated.
By performing arithmetic processing on the side of the central management device, it is possible to easily calculate the management information of another gaming means that the pachinko gaming shop needs for nail adjustment, and provide the player with detailed services. You can Also equipped with output terminal board
By doing so, the wiring process can be centralized and the connector
It is also possible to prevent disconnection and erroneous connection, and work to connect to the central control device.
Will also be easier.
