According to this, since the loan number specifying data stored in the card unit 20 is transmitted to the system controller 4, whether or not the loan number specifying data stored in the card unit 20 in the system controller 4 is correct. Can be monitored.

  The card unit 20 that has performed the processing of S109 is predetermined for the stored loan number specifying data (here, consumption tax rate 5%) and the card unit 20 by the unit control unit 22 that functions as a loan number calculation means. The number of loans (120 in this case) is calculated based on the unit valuable value (here, 4 yen is loaned and 5 times 500 yen), and the calculated loan number is stored in the EEPROM of the unit control unit 22 ( S111). According to this, the loan number specifying data indicating a predetermined multiplier (consumption tax rate 5%) is transmitted from the system controller 4, and the unit valuable value (4) determined in advance for the predetermined multiplier and the card unit 20. Since the number of loans is calculated on the basis of the yen loan of 5 times 500 yen, a card unit 20 having a different unit value in the amusement hall (for example, a game device with a unit value of 4 yen and a loan of 5 times 500 yen or 1 yen) Even when a 200-yen loan device is installed, it is not necessary for the system controller 4 to transmit the loan number specifying data for each unit value.

  The card unit 20 that has performed the processing of S111 receives the loan number data transmission request of S112 from the pachinko machine 10, that is, based on the establishment of communication with the pachinko machine 10, the loan number data transmission. The number of loans specified by the loan communication unit 23 functioning as a means based on the loan number specifying data (here, consumption tax rate 5%) stored in the loan number specifying data storage means via the loan number data signal line Lending number data indicating (here, 120) is transmitted to the pachinko machine 10, and here, lending number data indicating the lending number calculated by the lending number calculating means is transmitted (S113). In other words, in the first embodiment, the loan number specifying data and the loan number data indicate different values. According to this, since the loan number data is transmitted based on the establishment of the communication with the pachinko machine 10, the loan number data stored in the pachinko machine 10 is stored before the communication is established (for example, after the end of business). Even if it has been tampered with from midnight until the start of business), it can be updated to the correct loan number data.

  The pachinko machine 10 that has received the loan number data of S113 stores the received loan number data by means of the EEPROM of the payout control board 12 functioning as loan number data storage means (S114), and via the loan number data signal line The stored loan number data is transmitted to the card unit 20 (S115), and the card unit 20 receives the loan number data stored in the pachinko machine 10 from the pachinko machine 10. Then, the unit control unit 22 determines the loan number indicated by the received loan number data and the loan number specifying data stored in the loan number specifying data storage unit (that is, the loan number calculating unit). Multi-function lamp 2 on the condition that the number of loans does not match (NO). It performs an error notification (for example, red flashing) by (S117). According to this, since the number of loans stored in the pachinko machine 10 and the number of loans specified from the loan number specifying data stored in the card unit 20 do not match, error notification is performed, so the pachinko machine 10 It is possible to monitor whether the number of loans stored in is correct. If it is determined in S116 that the number of loans matches (YES), a standby state in which a loan operation can be accepted is entered. Moreover, since the loan number data stored in S114 is stored in a nonvolatile EEPROM, it is retained even when the pachinko machine 10 is turned off.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of a power-on process when the spare card unit 20 ′ is turned on and an installation process when the spare card unit 20 ′ is associated with the pachinko machine 10. It is. When the spare card unit 20 'stocked in the unit stocker 30 is turned on (S101), the spare card unit 20' and the system controller 4 perform the processes of S105 to S111. The spare card unit 20 ′ is turned off and taken out from the unit stocker 30, and is installed in association with the pachinko machine 10 to become the card unit 20. In the card unit 20, power is supplied in the exchange mode. When the power is turned on (for example, the power is turned on while the exchange mode switch provided in the card unit 20 is pressed) (S101 ′), and the power is turned on in the pachinko machine 10 (S102), the processing of S105 to S111 is performed. Without performing the above, in the card unit 20 and the pachinko machine 10, the processes of S103 to S104 and S112 to S117 are performed.

  That is, the spare card unit 20 ′ receives the loan number specifying data from the system controller 4 by the loan number specifying data receiving means (S107), and stores the received loan number specifying data by the loan number specifying data storage means. (S108) Based on the establishment of communication with the pachinko machine 10 associated with the pachinko machine 10, the stored loan number data is transferred to the pachinko machine 10 by the loan number data transmission means. It transmits to (S113). According to this, since the spare card unit 20 ′ also receives and stores the loan number specifying data from the system controller 4, when the spare card unit 20 ′ is installed in association with the pachinko machine 10. Also, the operation of the card unit 20 can be started quickly.

  Although not shown, the spare card unit 20 ′ is associated with the pachinko machine 10 and based on the fact that communication with the system controller 4 has been established, the stored loan is similar to S109. Number specifying data (here, consumption tax rate 5%) is transmitted to the system controller 4, and the system controller 4 receiving the loan number specifying data receives the received loan number specifying data and the storage in the same manner as in S110. It is checked whether or not the loan number specifying data matches, and if not, the process of S107 is performed. According to this, since the loan number specifying data stored in the spare card unit 20 ′ is transmitted to the system controller 4, the loan number specifying data stored in the spare card unit 20 ′ in the system controller 4 is specified. You can monitor whether the data is correct.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a lending process when a lending operation is accepted in the card unit 20. When a lending operation is performed in the card unit 20 while the prepaid card 3 is received (S201), it is determined whether or not a lending prohibition flag is stored (S202). This loan prohibition flag is stored when the acceptance of the loan operation is prohibited in S214 described later. If it is determined in S202 that the loan prohibition flag is stored (YES), the loan operation in S201 is invalidated, and if it is determined that the loan prohibition flag is not stored (NO), it is accepted. It is determined whether or not the remaining amount of the card read from the prepaid card 3 is equal to or greater than a predetermined unit value for the card unit 20 (here, 5 times 500 yen, hereinafter referred to as “used amount”). (S203). If it is determined in S203 that the remaining card amount is less than the used amount (NO), the lending operation in S201 is invalidated, and if it is determined that the remaining card amount is equal to or more than the used amount (YES) The loan number specifying data stored in the loan number specifying data storage means (here) as the loan request processing by the loan communication unit 23 functioning as the loan request number data transmitting means Then, the loan request number data indicating the loan request number that is the loan number (120 in this case) specified from the consumption tax rate 5%) is transmitted to the pachinko machine 10, and here the loan number calculation means in S111 The loan request number data indicating the calculated loan number as the loan request number is transmitted (S204).

  The pachinko machine 10 that has received the loan request number data in S204 uses the payout control board 12 functioning as a loan request number data determination unit to use the loan request number data indicated by the received loan request number data and the loan number data storage unit. It is determined whether or not the loan number indicated by the stored loan number data matches (S205).

  If it is determined in S205 that the number of loan requests does not match the number of loans (NO), error processing 1 to 3 is performed without performing the loan response processing in S206. First, the error process 1 is a process for requesting the card unit 20 to transmit lending number data. By performing this processing, it is possible to acquire the loan number data that causes the error and correct the error, so that it is possible to recover quickly. Error processing 2 is processing for transmitting an error signal to the card unit 20. Here, the error signal is a decimation of the number of loans due to gaming hall fraud (that is, the number of lending requests <the number of lending), or an increase in the number of lending due to player fraud or a failure of the pachinko machine 10 (ie, the number of lending requests> The number of loans). By performing this processing, the error signal is transmitted to the system controller 4 via the card unit 20, so that a quick response can be taken by a third party that manages the system controller 4. Further, the error process 3 is a process of displaying the loan request number and the loan number on the liquid crystal display device or the remaining number display 14 provided in the game area of the pachinko machine 10. By performing this process, it is possible to easily grasp that fraud that thins out the number of loans has been performed, or that there is an increase in the number of loans due to player fraud, a failure of the pachinko machine 10, or the like. In addition, you may perform any one or two, without performing all the error processes 1-3.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S205 that the number of loan requests matches the number of loans (YES), as the loan response process, the ball payout device 27 outputs the pachinko balls for the number of loans under the control of the payout control board 12. (S206), after the loan response process is performed, the loan control process 12 functioning as a loan response number data transmission means completes the loan in the loan response process via the loan response number data signal line Loan response number data indicating the number of loan responses that is the number of pachinko balls that have been played is transmitted to the card unit 20 (S207).

  The card unit 20 that has received the loan response count data in S207 performs a process of subtracting the used amount from the remaining card amount of the accepted prepaid card 3 (that is, a process of writing the card remaining amount after the subtraction into the prepaid card 3) ( S208), a subtraction request (S209) indicating the card ID and the amount used of the accepted prepaid card 3 and the received loan response number data (S210) are transmitted to the system controller 4.

  The system controller 4 that has received the subtraction request in S209 subtracts and updates the used amount indicated by the subtraction request from the remaining card amount stored in the remaining amount management DB in association with the card ID indicated by the received subtraction request. The system controller 4 that has received the loan response number data in S210 determines whether or not the loan response number indicated by the loan response number data is normal (that is, the loan response number and the stored loan number specifying data ( Here, it is determined whether or not the number of loans specified from the consumption tax rate 5%) and the usage amount indicated by the subtraction request match (S212). If the number of loan responses is abnormal (NO), an error occurs. Notification. According to this, it is possible to monitor whether or not the number lent by the pachinko machine 10 is correct in the system controller 4.

  The card unit 20 that has performed the processes of S209 and S210 uses the unit control unit 22 functioning as a loan response number data determination unit to execute the loan response number indicated by the received loan response number data and the loan number specifying data storage unit. It is determined whether or not the loan number specified from the stored loan number specifying data matches the loan number (that is, the loan number calculated by the loan number calculation means) (S213). If it is determined in S213 that the number of loan responses matches the number of loans (YES), the process returns to a standby state where a loan operation can be accepted.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S213 that the loan response number and the loan number do not match (NO), a loan prohibition flag is stored to prohibit the loan request processing (S214), and the system controller 4 is Then, an error signal is transmitted (S215). Here, whether the error signal is thinning out due to game hall fraud (that is, the number of loan responses <the number of loans) or an extra due to player fraud or a failure of the pachinko machine 10 (ie, the number of loan responses> the number of loans) Is shown. By performing this process, a third party that manages the system controller 4 can quickly respond. The loan prohibition flag is deleted when the error is resolved.

  According to the gaming system 1 described above, the pachinko machine 10 stores the loan request number specified from the loan number specifying data stored in the card unit 20 every time the loan request process (S204) is performed. The loan is identified by the pachinko machine 10 (S205), and the loan response number lent by the pachinko machine 10 and the loan number specifying data stored in the card unit 20 are specified. Since the matching with the number is performed by the card unit 20 (S213), it is possible to prevent the number of loans from being thinned out due to illegal playground.

[2. Second Embodiment]
Next, the gaming system 1 according to the second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, first, as shown in FIG. 1, the center server 5 sets the number of pachinko balls to be loaned (120 in this case) according to the unit value used for one loan. The set number of loans is transmitted to and stored in the system controller 4 as loan number specifying data that can specify the number of pachinko balls according to the unit valuable value.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the card unit 20 is turned on (S101) and the pachinko machine 10 is turned on (S102), the processing of S103 to S106 is performed, and the number of loans is specified in S106. Receiving the data transmission request, the system controller 4 returns the loan number specifying data indicating the stored loan number (120 in this case) to the card unit 20 (S107 ′). Here, the communication unit 21 for system controller functioning as the loan number specifying data receiving means receives the loan number specifying data (120 in this case) from the system controller 4.

  The card unit 20 that has received the loan number specifying data in S107 ′ stores the received loan number specifying data (120 in this case) by means of the EEPROM of the unit controller 22 functioning as the loan number specifying data storage means. (S108) The stored loan number specifying data is transmitted to the system controller 4 (S109 '), and the system controller 4 that has received the loan number specifying data receives the received loan number specifying data and the setting. It is checked whether or not the given loan number specifying data matches (S110). If they do not match (NO), the process of S107 is performed.

  The card unit 20 that has performed the process of S109 ′ has received the loan number data transmission request of S112 from the pachinko machine 10 without performing the process of S111 (that is, the calculation and storage of the loan number), that is, the pachinko machine. Based on the establishment of communication with the machine 10, the loan communication unit 23 functioning as the loan number data transmitting means stores the loan number specifying data storage means via the loan number data signal line. The loan number data indicating the loan number (120 in this case) specified based on the number specifying data is transmitted to the pachinko machine 10 (S113). In other words, in the second embodiment, the unit control unit 22 does not function as the loan number calculation means, and the loan number specifying data and the loan number data indicate the same value (120 in this case).

  In addition, after the process of S113, the process of said S114-S117 is performed. The spare card unit 20 ′ according to the second embodiment performs the processing of S107 ′ instead of S107, the processing of S109 ′ instead of S109, and the processing of S111 in the power-on processing shown in FIG.
