Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine such as a pachinko machine and a slot machine, and more particularly, to a game medium detection for detecting that a game medium such as a pachinko ball or a medal enters a predetermined specific area. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fraud detection device for a game facility for detecting fraudulent acts using electromagnetic waves or magnetism on a game machine provided with a sensor, and a game machine used therefor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a fraud detection device for a pachinko machine, which is an example of a game machine, includes the following: (a) A hit ball (safe ball) that enters a winning opening of a game board and exits through a safe ball passage is electrically stopped and released. A prize detection sensor for detecting while the vehicle is stationary, and a prize for paying out a predetermined number of prize balls by performing a payout operation once per unit with respect to a detection condition for each safe ball of the prize detection sensor. A ball processing device including a ball payout device, and a central processing unit including a payout control command unit for performing input / output control relating to a safe ball detection condition and a prize ball payout condition, wherein the prize ball performed during the safe ball detection by the winning detection sensor. After the end of the payout operation, in response to the electric stop releasing means being once displaced to the safe ball releasing side, the winning detection sensor is returned to the ball absence detection state with the release and fall of the safe ball, Motorized stop solution Means is set to return to the original safe ball stopping side, and if the winning sensor changes to the ball absence detection state during the prize ball payout operation, or the electric stop after the end of the prize ball payout operation. If the winning detection sensor is in the ball presence detecting state for a set time or longer with respect to the safe ball releasing side operation of the releasing means, the fraud prevention means of the central processing unit determines that a malfunction has occurred due to an illegal operation on the winning detection sensor. Then, the award ball payout operation is immediately set to stop or stop processing (for example,
No. 48).

(B) A receiving antenna for receiving an electromagnetic wave which malfunctions a winning detection sensor for detecting that a hit ball has entered a winning opening of a game board, and a receiving antenna for converting the electromagnetic wave received by the receiving antenna into an electric signal. A filter unit connected to the receiving unit, selects the electric signal according to the frequency of the electric signal, and uses the electric signal as a detection signal to detect an electric signal having a frequency at which a winning detection sensor malfunctions; and a filter unit. Connected to the detection unit and the detection signal as an alarm signal, and an alarm generation unit connected to the detection unit to generate an alarm (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-311152)
. The ones described in the above (a) and (b) have been proposed.

[0004]

In the case of the former (a), the electric stopping / releasing means is maintained in a safe ball stopping state during the prize ball payout operation, and the electric motor is stopped after the prize ball payout operation is completed. Since the stopping and releasing means is operated on the safe ball releasing side, the processing time for one safe ball increases. In addition, it is necessary to provide an electric stop release means for stopping the safe ball that enters the winning opening of the game board and exits from the safe ball passage, and also performs the fraud prevention means of the central processing unit to pay out the prize ball. If the winning sensor changes to the ball absence detection state during operation, or the safe ball releasing side operation of the electric stop release means after the prize ball payout operation is completed, the winning detection sensor has a ball for a set time or more. In the detection state, it must be configured to judge that the prize detection sensor is malfunctioning due to an illegal operation, so that the modification for adding the unauthorized detection device to the existing pachinko machine becomes large, and the modification is performed. Costs are likely to increase. Further, if an illegal operation of the winning detection sensor by electromagnetic waves or magnetism is performed intermittently within a set time of the winning detection sensor regarded as malfunction, the illegal operation may be detected. There are inconveniences that cannot be made.

[0005] In the case of the latter (b), since the illegal operation of the winning detection sensor due to electromagnetic waves or magnetism is detected by a system different from the original game control system of the pachinko machine, the former (b) is compared with the former (a). Although it is possible to advantageously modify the existing pachinko machine, still, a receiving antenna that receives an electromagnetic wave that malfunctions the winning detection sensor, and a receiving unit that converts the electromagnetic wave received by the receiving antenna into an electric signal, It is necessary to have a filter unit connected to this receiving unit, which selects the electric signal according to the frequency of the electric signal, and uses the electric signal of a frequency at which the winning detection sensor malfunctions from the electric signal as a detection signal. There is room for improvement in terms of remodeling costs. In addition, since the receiving antenna receives various radio waves and noises such as radio waves from car radios and mobile phones, pulse noise generated instantaneously when a lighter is ignited, radio waves and noises other than fraudulent electromagnetic waves due to fraudulent acts. However, even if the alarm generation unit operates or the winning detection sensor malfunctions, a situation in which the alarm generation unit does not operate easily occurs. In addition, when designing the receiving antenna and the filter unit, repeatedly investigate the frequency and intensity of the electromagnetic wave that causes the winning detection sensor to malfunction,
Since the frequency and the intensity must be specified, much effort and time are required until the specification. In addition, since the performance of the prize detection sensor used in the pachinko machine due to the external environment is not disclosed, the prize detection sensor was purchased and all tests were performed, and the weak points of the prize detection sensor were completely grasped. Otherwise, the design of the receiving antenna and the filter unit cannot be started, so that it takes a lot of time to develop a fraud detection device, and the development cost rises.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its main problem is to focus on the fact that an object of unauthorized operation by electromagnetic waves or magnetism is a game medium detection sensor.
