Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention is provided on a game base capable of providing a game value based on the formation of a prize, and provided at a predetermined portion related to the game base, and provides necessary information to a player. The present invention relates to a gaming machine comprising: a display means capable of displaying by means of the game base; and a display control means for displaying, on the display means, specified game information designated to be displayed on the display means, relating to a game played by the game base. .

<Conventional technology> Conventionally, in a game store, a management device that comprehensively manages a large number of game device groups installed in the game store has been introduced, and after completion of business, various operation information of each game device is described above. The management device collects the information, prints out management information for each gaming device, and adjusts each gaming device with the printed information.

However, the management information of all the gaming devices collected by the management device as described above is printed out uniformly in the order of the machine number, and the gaming device requiring adjustment is selected from among them, and to the gaming device selected as the adjustment control. It was cumbersome to go with the paper on which the management information was printed out and perform the adjustment work. In addition, if you misunderstand the correspondence between the selected gaming device and the machine number, you may make unnecessary adjustments to gaming devices that do not need to be adjusted, and you can expect very efficient adjustment work. I couldn't say it.

From the above, by providing a dedicated display device that displays management information on the back side of the gaming device, the management information of the gaming device is individually displayed on each gaming device, and a gaming device that needs adjustment is misidentified. Some things are not done,
For example, it is proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-189884.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in the case where a dedicated display device is provided on the back side of the gaming device, regardless of the necessity of adjustment, the gaming device must be opened and the display information on the back side must be confirmed. Therefore, in order to select a game device that needs to be adjusted, it is necessary to release all the gaming machines, and in some cases, the operation takes time.

In addition, if a display device for displaying management information is provided on the front side of the gaming device or the like, labor for releasing the gaming device can be omitted, and work efficiency can be improved. Since the player can easily know, the business of the game store is greatly affected. For this reason, a display device for management information is usually provided on the back side of a gaming device that cannot be easily seen by a player due to a locking mechanism or the like.

Furthermore, with the diversification of game contents, the mainstream of recent gaming devices are those equipped with relatively large gaming devices, and from the viewpoint of efficiently using the board arrangement of narrow gaming devices. It is not always desirable to provide a display device for the management information on the front side of the gaming device (at a position where the player can view the information).

Further, the display device dedicated to the management information needs to be separately provided for all the gaming devices, so that a game store having a large number of gaming devices installed has to bear a large introduction cost.

The stopwatch 32 is, for example, a first-type pachinko machine, and can be used when a big hit occurs.
The first type of pachinko machine has a structure in which the movable piece is opened due to a big hit and the hit ball is rebounded at the end of the opened movable piece, so that the rebounded ball can easily enter another winning opening. is there. In addition, one cycle of the jackpot ends when a predetermined number of hit balls, for example, 10 hits to the prize zone, or when a predetermined time, for example, 30 seconds, elapses, and the right to shift to this one cycle is obtained. .

Therefore, at the same time as the big hit occurs, operate the stopwatch and monitor the time, operate the firing operation part of the hit ball, until the fixed time elapses, make the hit ball rebound at the end of the movable piece, Win a prize in another winning opening. Then, when the end time of one cycle is approaching, the launch operation unit of the hit ball is operated to guide the hit ball to the continuous winning area and acquire the right to shift to the next cycle. By operating in this manner, the player can maximize the profit obtained from the jackpot. Another use of the stopwatch is to operate the stopwatch, measure the number of winnings per unit time, know the winning probability of the pachinko machine playing, and use it as a guide for the player to select a pachinko machine. can do.

When the time switch 30 is pressed, the time data is read from the watch circuit 55, and “hour, minute, second” is displayed on the display 10. Then, after a predetermined period of time, for example, 3 seconds, the display on the display 10 is stopped.

Since it is provided at 13, it is possible to effectively use a space that has not been used except for decoration in the past. Also,
Since the side case 113 is on the game board that the player is always watching, it is not necessary to keep an eye on the game board to see the display, and the display can be viewed while enjoying the pachinko game.

The processing in the management device and the unit control device in each of the above-described embodiments is the same as that in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, the display means provided for each game device can display required information and designated game information that can be displayed to the player, and ,
The management information obtained by summing up the various types of operation information of the gaming machine can be displayed on the display means under the control of the display control means based on the management information display command, which is necessary for adjusting each gaming machine. Can be directly confirmed at each gaming device.

Therefore, all the management information is printed out one by one from the management device that has collected the management information of each gaming device, and the information of the gaming device requiring adjustment is extracted from the management device, and the gaming device that adjusts the printed out information is also included. Since there is no need to carry the device, work efficiency can be improved. In addition, it is possible to effectively prevent erroneous adjustment from being performed, such as erroneously recognizing a gaming device requiring adjustment as another gaming device.

In addition, management information is displayed on display means provided at a position easily visible to the player in order to display required information and designated game information permitted to be displayed to the player. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to an increase in work efficiency as compared with a case where the game device is adjusted while being checked on a display device or the like provided on the back side of the game device. In addition, since it is not necessary to provide all the dedicated display devices in the game device, the introduction cost can be reduced.

Further, since the display control means for performing display control of the management information on the display means displays the management information on the display means only based on the management information display command, the general player can display the management information on the display means of each gaming device. It is not even known that the management information can be displayed, and only by setting a management information display command that a general player cannot know,
Good security can be expected in comparison with the locking mechanism of the conventional game machine.
