Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Purpose of the Invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention manages a pachinko game machine by using an out-ball number signal, a safe ball number signal output from the pachinko game machine side, and its control. The present invention relates to a management apparatus for a pachinko game machine, which performs calculation based on a lending signal output from a ball lending machine installed in one-to-one correspondence with a pachinko game machine.

(Prior Art) In a pachinko hall, various pachinko game machines are usually installed, and among them, a so-called special prize in which a winning rate becomes extremely high when a predetermined condition is satisfied during a game. A pachinko game machine exhibiting a state is also included. However, with this kind of pachinko game machine, there is a situation that the profit margin of the pachinko hall side will be significantly reduced if a game with pachinko balls acquired by another pachinko game machine is carried out. . For this reason, in pachinko halls, for certain pachinko game machines, only games using newly rented pachinko balls are permitted, and pachinko balls obtained by playing with other pachinko game machines are brought in. Prohibition of the game is performed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In order to prohibit a game using a brought-in pachinko ball as described above, the presence or absence of a player who brings a pachinko ball acquired by another pachinko game machine to a specific pachinko game machine is determined. Need to be monitored. However, such monitoring not only has the disadvantage of requiring a lot of manpower, but also has the problem that it is difficult to always reliably find pachinko balls brought in.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to automatically output an alarm signal when a pachinko game machine in which a game is played with a pachinko ball brought in from another occurs. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a management apparatus for a pachinko game machine which has an effect of easily and surely finding a player with a brought-in pachinko ball.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention manages a pachinko game machine by controlling an out ball number signal and a safe ball number signal output from the pachinko game machine side. In an apparatus configured to perform a balance calculation based on a lending signal output from a ball lending machine installed so as to correspond to the pachinko game machine on a one-to-one basis, the number of out-balls indicated by the respective ball-number signals and Subtracting means for sequentially calculating the difference in the number of safe balls as the difference ball number; and driving state detecting means for outputting a driving signal when the difference ball number obtained by the subtracting means is equal to or greater than a predetermined driving set value. And a measuring means for measuring the output time of the number-of-out-balls signal in a state where the driving signal is output, so that the measuring means is initialized each time the lending signal is output. On thus constructed, in which a configuration in which the carrying-ball determining means for determining the occurrence of carry-ball when the measured time becomes the set time or more by the measuring means.

(Operation) When a game is being played on a pachinko game machine,
The pachinko game machine outputs an out-ball count signal and a safe ball count signal, and the subtraction means sequentially calculates the difference between the out-ball count and the safe ball count indicated by each ball count signal as a difference ball count. When the number of difference balls obtained by such calculation is equal to or more than a predetermined driving set value, that is, when the out ball is in a driving state in which the number of out balls is larger than the safe ball in the pachinko game machine, the driving state is detected. A driving signal is output from the means.

On the other hand, the measuring means measures the time during which the number-of-out-balls signal is output while the driving signal is output as described above, that is, the game continuation time in the pachinko game machine in the driving state. At this time, when the game in the pachinko game machine is performed in a state accompanied by a lending operation by the corresponding ball lending machine, the measuring means is initialized each time the lending signal is output from the ball lending machine. Therefore, the measurement time by the measurement means is relatively short and does not reach the set time in the signal generation means.

On the other hand, when a game is played with a pachinko ball brought in from another pachinko game machine, the measuring means is not initialized by the lending amount signal, so that the measuring time is equal to the set time. To reach. Then
The brought-in ball determination means comes to determine that a brought-in ball has occurred,
As a result, it is possible to reliably find a player using a pachinko ball brought in from another person without requiring many hands.

The transfer gate 6 allows a signal to pass only when a high-level signal is applied to its gate terminal. 7 is a safe ball counting unit which receives a counting pulse P ₂ indicating the number of safe ball through the input unit 5, which is adapted to be initialized through the reset terminal R, the counting pulses P ₂ that is input sequentially adds and outputs the addition result as a numeric signal N ₂ indicating the number of safe ball after the initialization. 8 is a subtractor serving subtraction unit which subtracts the safe number ball indicated by numerical signal N ₂ from the out ball numbers shown by numerical signal N _1,
And it outputs the subtraction result as a numeric signal N ₃ showing the difference numbers balls of the pachinko game machine 1 after initialization of the counter 4 and 7.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a hit setting value storage unit which stores a hit setting value Nz (negative value) which can be arbitrarily changed. 10 is a comparison unit for Datome control, which compares the numerical signal N ₃ from the punch stop set value Nz and the subtracting unit 8, when a relationship of Nz ≧ N _3, i.e. pachinko game machine The number of difference balls of 1 is the stop set value
When reaching Nz, a pulse-like stop signal Sz is output. Reference numeral 11 denotes a signal holding unit which is configured to hold the output state of the stop signal Sz during a period from when the stop signal Sz is output to when it is initialized through the reset terminal R. When the hit signal Sz is output from the signal holding unit 11, the supply of the pachinko balls to the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped, or the power of the pachinko ball firing device is shut off. The pachinko game machine 1 is configured to be switched to a hit state in which a game is prohibited. 12 is a reset pulse RP according to external operation.
The out pulse counting section 4, safe ball counting section 7, and signal holding section 11 are initialized by the reset pulse RP.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a driving set value storage unit which stores a driving setting value Na which can be arbitrarily changed. In this embodiment, the driving setting value Na is set to zero. 14 in the comparison unit serving hammering state detecting means, which compares the numerical signal N ₃ from the subtraction component 8 and the hammering setting value Na, when the state of Na ≦ N _3, i.e. pachinko game machine 1 When the driving state (the number of out balls is greater than the number of safe balls) and the difference ball number is zero or more, the driving signal Sa composed of a high-level signal is output,
In other states, a low level signal is output. The output of the comparison section 14 is supplied to the gate terminal of the transfer gate 6 after being inverted by the inverter 15.

16 is a lending high counting unit for receiving the counting pulses P ₃ indicating the lending high ball lending machine 2 via the input unit 17, which balls the addition result by sequentially adding the count pulses P ₃ inputted rental output by the machine 2 as a numerical signal N ₄ indicating the lending high. Although not shown, the numerical signal N ₄ is used sales management of the ball lending machine 2.

An AND circuit 18 receives an input signal Sa from the comparing section 14 at one input terminal, and an output from the monostable multivibrator 19 is applied to the other input terminal. This monostable multivibrator 19
Be of retrigger type to be operated each time receiving the counting pulses P ₁ through the input unit 5, a short time a signal which rises to a high level signal constant at the time of operation (corresponding to an average output period of the count pulse P ₁₎ Output only. Accordingly, counting pulses P ₁ from the pachinko game machine 1 during a game is in a state to be outputted continuously, so that the high-level signal from the monostable multivibrator 19 is continuously output.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a time measuring unit which is a measuring means for receiving an output of the AND circuit 18, and is initialized through a reset terminal R, and measures a time during which a high-level signal is input from the AND circuit 18 to measure the time. and it outputs the measurement result as a time value signal T _1. At this time, the reset terminal R of the timer portion 20 being adapted to the counting pulse P ₃ is given through the input section 17, thus counting the pulse counting unit 20 from the ball lending machine 2
P ₃ is adapted to be initialized for each output.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a time value storage unit, which stores a preset upper limit time value Tx. 22 in the comparison unit serving bring ball determination unit, when this is compared with the time value signal T ₁ of the from the clock section 20 and the upper limit time value Tx, and the state of the Tx ≦ T _1, i.e. timing unit 20 The alarm signal Sx is output when the measurement time by the time exceeds the set time. Reference numeral 23 denotes a signal holding unit, which is configured to hold the output state of the alarm signal Sx during a period from when the alarm signal Sx is output to when the signal is initialized through an external signal through the reset terminal R. . In a state where the alarm signal Sx is output from the signal holding unit 23, the game in the pachinko game machine 1 is prohibited while the power of the pachinko ball firing device of the pachinko game machine 1 is shut off, for example. The display of the machine number of the pachinko game machine 1, the operation of generating a notification sound, and the like are performed.

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

During state game is being performed by the pachinko game machine 1, the count from the pachinko game machine 1 pulses P ₁ and P ₂ are output, the values from the out ball counting unit 4 for adding a timing pulse P ₁ indicating the out number ball with the signal N ₁ is output, numerical signal N ₂ indicating the safe number ball is outputted from the safe ball count unit 7 for adding the count pulses P _2. Thereby, the subtraction unit 8
Calculates the difference between the numerical signals N ₁ and N ₂ sequentially, and calculates the numerical result as a numerical signal N ₃ indicating the number of difference balls of the pachinko game machine 1.
Output as

In this case, a state where numerical signal N ₃ from the subtraction portion 8 is more than zero, that is, when the pachinko game machine 1 is in a nailing state, as implantation signal Sa (high level signal) is outputted from the comparator 14 The driving signal Sa is supplied to the gate terminal of the transfer gate 6 inverted to a low level signal by the inverter 15. Thus, now the transfer gate 6 prevents the passage of count pulses P _1, therefore the period pachinko game machine 1 is in a nailing state, the adding operation is stopped counting pulse P ₁ by out ball counting unit 4 As a result, the number of pachinko balls hit by the player in the pachinko game machine 1 is not reflected in the calculation result of the difference ball number in the subtraction unit 8. As a result, when the pachinko game machine 1 is hit after being played by two or more players, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the number of pachinko balls obtained by the player becomes greater than the hitting set value Nz. .

On the other hand, the state the numerical signal N ₃ is in a negative value, that is, when in the state in which the player has won pachinko balls, since never hammering signal Sa is output from the comparator unit 14, transfer gate 6 and allowing the passage of the count pulse P _1. In this state, when the difference number balls pachinko ball number a player win is calculated by subtracting unit 8 increases is increased in the negative direction, the numerical signal N ₃ Te than reaches the hitting stop set value Nz is ,
The stop signal Sz is output from the comparison unit 10 and the signal holding unit 11 holds the stop signal Sz.
, The pachinko game machine is switched to the hit state. In order to release such a hitting state, the release means 12 is operated to output a reset pulse RP, and the out ball counting unit 4, the safe ball counting unit 7, and the signal holding unit 11 are thereby initialized. Good.

Now, when the pachinko game machine 1 is in the driving state,
When hammering signal Sa is output from 14, the period during which the count pulse P ₁ from the pachinko game machine 1 is being output, the AND circuit 18 is to output a high level signal. For this reason, during the above-mentioned period, that is, during the period when the game in the pachinko game machine 1 in the driving state is continued, the timer 20 performs the time measurement operation, and the measurement result is transmitted to the time value signal T. Output as ₁ .

In this case, each is a game of pachinko game machine 1 when being performed in a state accompanied by lending operation by ball lending machine 2 corresponding thereto, output counting pulses P ₃ from the ball lending machine 2 Since the timer 20 is initialized at
Time measured by 20 is relatively short, there is no possibility that the time value signal T ₁ is reached in the time value Tx stored in the time value storage unit 21.

On the other hand, when a game is played with a pachinko ball brought in from another in the pachinko game machine 1, the timing unit
Because 20 is not to be initialized by the pulse signal P _3,
The measurement time is longer time value signal T ₁ is made to reach the upper limit time Tx. Then, the comparison unit 22 determines that a carry-in ball has occurred and outputs an alarm signal Sx. In response to this, the game in the pachinko game machine 1 is prohibited, and at the same time, the pachinko game machine 1 The display of the machine number and the operation of generating the notification sound are performed. As a result, the player using the pachinko ball brought in from another is sent to the above-mentioned alarm signal Sx
Based on the above, it is possible to reliably find the user without requiring a large amount of manpower.

In the above embodiment, the timer 20 is provided as the measuring means.However, instead of this, a counter may be provided as the timer.In this case, the counter is provided with the driving signal Sa. with counting the count pulses P ₁ output state, on where the structure is initialized by counting pulses P _3, it may be configured, eg provide numeric storage unit in place of the time value storage unit 21.
