S43 detects a shortage of game balls in S42, and as a result, sets a replenishment request flag and also sets a flag for requesting a large amount or a small amount.
Accordingly, when a small amount is requested, a small amount replenishment request signal is transmitted to the management computer through the control information of the game information output terminal 42 of the payout control device 48. When requesting a large amount, it is transmitted to the management computer in the same manner as when requesting a small amount, but the dispensing control device 48 transmits a signal for a plurality of replenishment requests. Also blink.
In S44, it is detected in the ball shortage detector 43 shown in FIG. 2 whether the flow of the game ball is stopped due to a ball clogging phenomenon or whether there is no game ball in the ball tank 39 and the tank rail 40.
[0042]
If there is a game ball, the process branches to S46. If a game ball is not detected, the process proceeds to S45.
S45 is a subroutine for counting the number of balls to be discharged by operating the lending / dispensing device 45 shown in FIG. 2. After the processing of this subroutine is completed, the process proceeds to S47.
S46 is a subroutine for counting the number of prize balls to be discharged when the prize ball dispensing device 44 shown in FIG.
Thereafter, the process returns to S36 in FIG.
All the flags set in the above description are assembled into data flags, and in the main routine of FIG. 6, each transmission means selects the corresponding data flag and performs transmission processing.
[0043]
As a measure against the above-mentioned Goto master, which is the gist of the present invention, when the special electric accessory 62 does not include the release command command in the command information transmitted from the main controller 47, the specified number winning detection shown in FIG. There is also a method to prevent detection of the passage of.
It becomes possible by adding instruction codes on the program.
However, this method is currently not approved by the accreditation standard, but it can be even better if it is approved in the future.
