A receiving tray 22 for accommodating pachinko balls and a firing handle 23 are provided at a lower portion of the pachinko gaming table 20. By rotating the firing handle 23, a motor 24 operates to rotate the receiving tray 22. Play the pachinko balls one by one with the firing handle 23 one by one and guide rail 25
It is designed to be driven along. A shutter 26 is provided in the ball passage between the receiving tray 22 and the resilient device including the motor 24, and the shutter 26 operates at the time of hitting and shuts off the ball passage.

A prize ball discharging device 27 is provided on the back side of the pachinko gaming table 20.
8, pachinko balls are supplied from a distribution gutter (not shown). In the vicinity of the outlet of the introduction tube 28, a stopper 72 for opening the pachinko game console 20 or closing the exit of the introduction tube 28 under the control of the controller 21 is provided.

The prize ball discharging device 27 includes detecting devices 54 _{1 to} 54.
₁₄ outputs the ball detection signal to the controller 21
And discharges the prize ball to the tray 22. Saucer 2
The pachinko balls 2 which are full of pachinko balls and overflow from the tray introduction port 71 are guided by the guide gutter 29 and are stored in the lower tray 30 through the opening 31.

The pachinko balls that have passed through the safe holes 1 to 14 and the out holes 15 are collectively discharged outside through a discharge pipe 32. A data display section 33 is provided on the front of the pachinko gaming table 20.
The data display unit 33 is provided with the controller 21
The data such as incoming and outgoing balls from is displayed by numbers.

When a pachinko ball enters the safe hole, not only the prize ball is discharged from the prize ball discharge device 27 under the control of the controller 21 but also the electric accessory is driven. Above the pachinko gaming table 20, a prize ball display device 34 also serving as an abnormal display device and a hit display device 35 are provided.

Next, the control system of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the controller 21 includes a central processing unit (hereinafter, referred to as a CPU) 40 including an input / output board, and an R.
A computer comprising an AM 42 and a ROM 43; counters 41 _{1 to} 41 ₁₅ ; a prize ball device driving circuit 44; a prize ball counter 38; an operation recognition device 46;
7, a counting means 48 comprising a difference ball total counter, a difference ball hitting set number comparison circuit 49, and the operation of the pachinko gaming table 20 by recognizing the presence or absence of a pachinko ball in the saucer 22 and the presence or absence of a handle operation. It comprises an operation detecting means 50 comprising a recognition circuit for detecting, and an attached game machine operation determining device 51. As shown in FIG. 2, the controller 21 is built in the pachinko game console 20.

The counters 41 _{1 to} 41 ₁₅ are provided as detectors 54 ₁
Each counts the ball detection signal from through 54 _15, CPU 40 stores crowded takes the count value of the counter 41 _{1-41 15} sequentially. The ball detection switch 53 is a switch for detecting the presence or absence of pachinko balls in the tray 22, for example, and is attached to the tray 22.

The recognition circuit 50 receives a detection signal from the ball detection switch 53 or performs a counting operation with any _{one of the} counters 41 _{1 to} 41 ₁₅ . That is, the saucer 22
It recognizes that there is a pachinko ball inside or that the firing handle 23 is being operated, and detects the operation of the pachinko gaming table 20. The CPU 40 processes the input signal and outputs the output signal using the RAM 42 according to the program in the ROM 43, and activates the operation recognition device 46 by the signal from the recognition circuit 50.

The CPU 40 has counters 41 _{1 to} 41.
_The pachinko balls are determined to be in the predetermined safe holes 1 to 14 based on the 14 count values.
It is determined that the ball has entered, and the prize ball device drive circuit 44 is operated. The prize ball device drive circuit 44 drives the prize ball discharge device 27 to discharge the prize ball, and at the same time, drives the luminescent sound display means 34A. Display the discharge of prize balls, and furthermore, safe holes 1-1
By operating a predetermined accessory driving device 61 corresponding to 4, the electric accessory 62 is driven.

The electric accessory 62 is a tulip or an attached game machine, and the attached game machine operation judging device 51 judges whether the operating condition of the attached game machine is satisfied or not and determines whether or not the CPU 4 operates.
By sending a signal to 0, processing such as changing the set value of the prize ball counter 38 is performed. The CPU 40 is a prize ball counter 38
The number of pachinko balls discharged from the prize ball discharging device 27 is counted by the prize ball discharge ball counter 63, and the counted value is calculated by the prize ball counter 38 in the prize ball counter 38. It is compared with the set value.

When the count value of the prize ball discharge ball counter 63 becomes larger than the value of the prize ball counter 38, the prize ball comparison circuit 4
At the same time as the abnormal display device 34B and the light emitting / sound display device 65 are operated by the output signal of 7, the shutter 26 is operated to disable the pachinko game.

The CPU 40 takes in the count values of the counters 41 _{1 to} 41 ₁₅ to take out pachinko balls, ie, the number of pachinko balls ejected as prize balls, and to enter pachinko balls, ie, pachinko balls that the customer hits the pachinko gaming table 20. The difference between the number and the difference ball total counter 48
And the counted value is compared with the difference ball / stop setting number comparison circuit 4
At 9 it is compared with the set number of stops.

When the counted value of the difference ball total counter 48 reaches the set number of hits, the output signal of the difference / hit count comparison circuit 49 is output as a hit signal, and the light emitting / sound display device 65 is output.
At the same time, the shutter 26 is operated, so that the pachinko game becomes impossible. Therefore, the difference ball / hit number setting comparison circuit 49 and the CPU 40 constitute hit means.

The CPU 40 takes in the values of the counters 41 _{1 to} 41 ₁₅ and calculates data of incoming balls, outgoing balls, etc., displays these data on the data display section 33, and turns off the hitting release switch 69. Then, the stop release switch 69
Clears the data such as incoming balls and outgoing balls calculated from hitting to hitting, and clears the difference ball total counter 48 by the signal from. Therefore, the CPU 40 constitutes a clearing means for clearing the difference ball total counter 48 by releasing the hitting.

Further, the CPU 40 is provided with the digital switch 7
The number of hits set in 3 is set in the difference ball / hit set number comparison circuit 49, so that the number of hits can be arbitrarily changed by the digital switch 73.

When the stop switch 70 is turned on and the forcible stop is applied, the CPU 40 detects this by a signal from the stop switch 70 as shown in FIG.
To stop the supply of balls. Therefore, the CPU 40 constitutes a clearing means for clearing the difference ball total counter 48 by releasing the hitting.

When the number of hits is changed by the digital switch 73 and a special addition is made, the CPU 40 clears data of incoming balls, outgoing balls, etc., and clears the difference ball total counter 4.
Clear 8 to start supplying balls.

When the forced stop is released by the stop release switch 69 after the forced stop is applied, the CPU 40
Clears the data of the incoming ball and the outgoing ball, clears the difference ball total counter 48, and starts the replenishment of the ball in the same manner as in the normal release of the batting. Therefore, the hit release switch 69 and the CPU 40 constitute a hit releasing means, and the CPU 40 constitutes a clear means for clearing the difference ball total counter 48 when the forced hit is released.
