Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent frandulence such as double use of premiums along with the elimination of mistake in inputting when the premiums fare exchanged for money by a method wherein a specified data is written into a magnetic tape of specified premiums, when the specified premiums are brought into a cash exchanger, cash is paid based on the data alone and there after the data is deleted. CONSTITUTION: A player (a) feeds a specified quantity of balls and medals into a ball/medal counter 1 to output a counting data onto a record paper A such as punch tape. The player (a) brings the record paper A to a counter and a hall worker applies it to a tape reader 2b of a premium exchanger 2 to select a specified premium 3 to be converted to cash. When the premium exchanger 2 delivers the specified premium 3, a necessary data for the specified premium 3 is written by a magnetic reader/writer 2a and the premium is automatically delivered. Thereafter, the player (a) hands the specified premium 3 to a hall worker at the position of a cash exchanger 5. The data is read out by the magnetic tape/writer 5a of the cash exchanger 5 to dispense a necessary amount of money. On the other hand, after checking a signal from the magnetic reader/writer, the cash exchanger 5 sends a data deletion signal with the magnetic reader/writer 5a to delete the data of a magnetic tape of the specified premiums 3.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a prize exchange system in games such as pachinko that gives handling value to specific prizes exchangeable for cash provided at game parlors.

<Conventional technology> Generally, pachinko balls/
When exchanging Meguru for prizes, count the total number obtained using a regular counter at the game center or a designated counting machine, and give iooo yen, 50
Prizes (valued items) with value such as 0 yen, 100 yen, etc.
It is to be replaced with

However, in reality, we also handle specific prizes that can be exchanged for cash.
The customer can take the specified sputum crystals to a separate prize exchange area and exchange them for predetermined cash.

<Problem that the invention is intended to solve> In this way, since specified prizes are used for cash exchange, they need to be handled in the same way as cash, but since they are handled in large quantities and are expensive, they are often handled in the same way as cash. I can't. In other words,
The handling of the prize itself was loose, resulting in unauthorized use (exchanging for cash)
This has led to defects such as the store staff often being suspected.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention combines an automatic prize exchange machine and an automatic cash exchange machine, which have not been developed in recent years, to write data on a magnetic tape for '+' and 11 prefecture goods purely for the purpose of exchanging money. The object of this invention is to provide a prize exchange system for gaming machines such as Pajinko, which cannot be exchanged for cash without being read.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention provides a punch cart or the like that passes through a ball/medal counting machine.
A magnetic tape gluer/writer is installed in an automatic prize exchange machine that inputs the number of qta balls/medals, and when dispensing a specific prize for cash exchange, predetermined data is written on the magnetic tape placed on the specific L'r'r product. After writing the data on the magnetic tape and reading the data on the magnetic tape using a cash exchange machine with a separate reader/writer, the data on the magnetic tape is erased and the specified prize has no exchange value for cash until the next data is written. It is.

<Operation> According to the above system, an automatic prize exchange machine reads the number of balls/medals recorded on a punch cart, etc., and when exchanging for a desired prize, a specific original item for cash exchange is issued. In the selection, predetermined data is required on the magnetic tape of the 1ξiU prize. Receive the specific pot crystal with this data, bring it to a separate cash exchange machine, read the data on the magnetic tape of the specific prize with the cash exchange machine, and dispense the specified cash.The data of this specific prize will be erased and the prize will be exchanged. Until the item is returned to the exchange and the next time data is written, the item has no value in exchange for cash, thereby preventing unauthorized use.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on a system diagram of an example.
It is as follows.

First, the forehead Sa is taken! The balls/meggles that have been made are carried into a ball/medal counting machine 1, and a recording paper △ such as a punch cart, on which the number of balls/medals is recorded by the old ball/meggle counting machine 1, is put into an automatic prize exchange machine 2. This equipment exchanger 2 includes a tape reader 2b and a magnetic reader/writer 2a, and! When the I4i fixed prize 3 is selected, predetermined data is written on the magnetic tape 4 affixed to the specific prize 3 and paid out. Thereafter, the specified prize 3 with the magnetic tape 4 on which the data has been written is carried into a separate cash exchange machine 5, and the data on the magnetic tape 4 is read by a magnetic reader/writer 5a built into the cash exchange machine 5. Cash B is paid out based on the data.

Now, to explain this system in detail, a drinking customer
The medals are put into a ball/medal counting machine 1, and the old school data is output onto a recording paper A such as punch tape. In this case, in addition to the punch tape means, the data is transmitted by ejecting a card with a barcode printed on it and passing it through a barcode reader (
Read it on the prize exchange machine side) or use regular printing paper: 1
- It is also possible to input (manually) on one board, or to directly connect the ball/medal counting machine 1 and the prize exchange machine 2 with a signal line.

Next, customer a brings recording paper A to the counter, store d hangs it on the tape reader 2b of prize exchange machine 2, and taps it on the millet exchange machine 2.
The chemicals are exchanged according to the manual data (count data). In this case, a specific premium 3 that can be cashed is selected, and when the premium exchange machine 2 pays out the specific premium 3, the magnetic reader/writer 2a uses the data necessary for the specific premium 3 (for example, amount 2 date 2 store name , encryption code, etc.) and it will be automatically paid out. The clerk counts the dispensed specific order crystals 3 and hands them to RT customer A (if necessary, it is also possible to have GI customer Hakumi do all of these operations).

After that, liquor customer A makes a cash exchange using this specific arrangement 3.
If you give it to the store Ω at the location, the clerk will make the magnetic chip/writer 5a of the cash exchange machine 5 read the data of this 1JI fixed prize 3, and the cash exchange machine 5 will operate due to this and pay out the necessary amount of cash. . Member IIλj checks this payout amount and fi
It is given to the customer.

On the other hand, after confirming the signal from the magnetic reader/writer, the cash exchange machine 5 issues a data erasing signal to the magnetic reader/writer 5a to erase the data on the magnetic tape 4 of the specific original product 3.

The shop Ω confirms from the display of the magnetic reader/writer that the data has disappeared from the specific prize 3, and returns the specific prize 3 to the exchange machine 2.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, in the equipment exchange system for pachinko and other amusement machines of the present invention, when a specified item for cash exchange is selected at the time of exchanging free items, predetermined data is recorded on the magnetic tape of the specified item. , and when the specified prize is brought to the cash exchange, cash is paid out only according to the EiL data, and the data is deleted after that, so the value of the Komajo kite product increases and the I-'7 No more loose handling of out-of-date products,
It also eliminates mistakes in the hole. In addition, when converting specific original items into cash, we have a magnetic tape with data such as the price, store name, etc., and the data is not erased as soon as it is paid out, so there is no input error when converting into cash, and there is no difference in the number of prizes. It also helps prevent fraud such as overuse, and has the effect of eliminating the suspicion of fraud by store staff.
