Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention provides a state in which the winning rate is increased when a specific state is exhibited in response to the hitting of pachinko balls when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The present invention relates to a centralized control device for pachinko halls, which centrally manages pachinko game machines equipped with electric accessories that hold up to 1000 yen based on data from the pachinko game machines.

(Prior Art) In recent pachinko game machines, when a specific state occurs depending on the hitting of a pachinko ball during play (for example, when a particular prize is entered into a particular prize hole, or The mainstream is to have an electric accessory that is activated to greatly increase the winning rate (e.g., when the numbers on a roulette wheel are aligned in response to winnings). is configured to stop operating and return to its original state when a predetermined condition is met (for example, when winnings for electric accessories stop, or when a certain amount of time has elapsed). .

By the way, for such pachinko game machines, data such as the number of differential balls and ball output rate in the pachinko game machine,
It is important to know the electric accessories divided into operating periods and non-operating periods in order to precisely adjust the nails of the pachinko game machine. For this reason, conventional centralized control devices for pachinko halls are equipped with a function to calculate the number of out balls (number of batted balls) and the number of safe balls (number of prize balls) for each pachinko game machine, and also have an electric accessory for each pachinko game machine. A signal generating means is provided which generates a detection signal when the electric accessory is in an operating state, and the number of out balls and the number of safe balls as described above are calculated based on the output state of the detection signal. By doing so, data such as the difference in the number of balls and the ball output rate in a pachinko game machine can be obtained by dividing the electric accessory into an operating period and a non-operating period. There is.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In general, in pachinko game machines, due to structural limitations of the safe ball release mechanism, even after the electric accessory is stopped from operating, it is not possible to win a prize with the electric accessory. There is a delay time between the continuous release of safe balls and the release of all safe balls. On the other hand, in the conventional centralized control device for pachinko halls, the number of out balls and the number of safe balls during the delay time are calculated based on the period when the electric accessory is not in operation. Based on the calculation results of the number of out balls and the number of safe balls mentioned above, data such as the number of differential balls and ball output rate for each pachinko game machine,
When obtaining data separately for the operating period and the non-operating period of electric accessories, it is inevitable that the respective data will be inaccurate, and this has been an unresolved problem.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to maintain a state in which the winning rate is increased when the pachinko ball is operated in a specific state until a predetermined condition is met. Although a pachinko game machine equipped with an electric accessory is under management, the data on the number of out balls and the number of safe balls is for the period when the winning rate was increased due to the operation of the electric accessory and for other periods. To provide a centralized management device for pachinko halls that can accurately classify data into nail adjustment data and obtain accurate nail adjustment data.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The central control device for pachinko halls according to the present invention is operated when a specific state is exhibited in response to the hitting of pachinko balls to set a predetermined state in which the winning rate is increased. The object of management is a pachinko game machine that is equipped with an electric accessory that is held until the following conditions are met, and includes a first counter that generates a counting pulse according to the number of out balls of the pachinko game machine; a second counter that generates a counting pulse according to the number of safe balls of the game machine, a signal generating means that generates a detection signal during the operation period of the electric accessory, and a second counter that is set in advance after the output of the detection signal is stopped. and the data on the number of out balls and the number of safe balls and the detection signal and the number of safe balls during a period in which either the detection signal or the delay signal is output. The apparatus is configured to include a calculation means for calculating at least one of data on the number of out balls and the number of safe balls during a period in which the delay signal is in a non-output state based on each of the counting pulses.

(Function) When a game is played on a pachinko game machine, the first counter outputs a counting pulse corresponding to the number of out balls, and the second counter outputs a counting pulse corresponding to the number of safe balls. Output. Also, when the electric accessory is operated during the game (when the winning rate is increased), a detection signal is output from the signal generating means, and a detection signal is output when the electric accessory stops operating. After being stopped, a delay signal is output from the delay means for a preset time.

Then, the calculation means calculates data on the number of out balls and the number of safe balls in a period in which either the detection signal or the delay signal is output, and the number of detected balls based on each counting pulse outputted as described above. At least one of the number of out balls and the number of safe balls during a period in which the signal and the delay signal are in a non-output state is calculated. At this time, the output time of the delay signal described above should be set to correspond to the delay time from when the electric accessory is stopped from operating until the release of all safe balls due to winning the electric accessory ends. For example, the calculation results of the number of out balls and the number of safe balls in each of the first and second periods described above closely match the actual number of out balls and the number of safe balls in each of the operating period and non-operating period of the electric accessory. - become like that.
