Next, based on the operation of each key, the arithmetic processing unit performs arithmetic processing along the program reading output of the magnetic disk MD1, and the information is transferred to the J printer.
This section explains how to print and record with JRP or Printer PR, or display on display device DIS.

For example, information such as the number of hits at a desired machine number, the number of batted balls, the number of supplied balls, and the difference can be collected for each customer during a game and for a certain period of time (for example, one day).
When displaying the accumulated value on the display device DIS, it is done by specifying the machine number using the numeric key NK and pressing the call key CK.

Information such as the number of balls hit, number of supplied balls, subtraction numbers, symbols, etc. from one consecutive arbitrary machine (Pachinko machine) to another arbitrary machine can be printed using J Printer JRP.
To print and record, specify any machine number using the numeric key NK and press the print start key PSK, then specify any other machine number using the numeric key NK and press the print end key PEK. It is carried out frequently. In addition, in this printing/recording operation, by switching the switch SW1, the cumulative value after the stand is opened or for a certain period (for example, one day) is selected and printed. If this switch SW1 is switched to "after platform opening", the calculation unit AU, which will be described later,
The central calculation/control unit CAC operates and calculates and outputs the cumulative value after the platform is opened. The calculation unit AU and the central calculation/control unit determine whether or not the pachinko game machine is selected from among the detection outputs from the profit ball related information detection means and the disadvantage related information detection means of the pachinko game machine whose opening is controlled by the release control means. A re-shutdown control information signal calculation output means is configured to output an information signal for re-shutdown control based on the subtraction-related information calculated based on detection information including detection outputs after the machine is opened. It should be noted that the control may be such that the difference related information of the pachinko game machine subjected to the opening control is restarted from 0 and cumulatively calculated each time the opening control is performed. For example, when the difference related information of the machine is 3000, the pachinko game machine is released, the cumulative operation is performed starting from the 3000 difference related information, and the difference related information reaches 6000, for example. It may also be configured to perform re-stop control at any time.

When printing and recording information such as the total number of batted balls, total number of supplied balls, total number of subtractions, symbols, etc. from one consecutive arbitrary machine to another arbitrary machine,
This is done by specifying an arbitrary machine number using the numeric key NK and pressing the print start key PSK, then commanding another arbitrary machine number using the numeric key NK, and pressing the tally key TK1. Furthermore, for example,
If there are 300 pachinko machines with machine numbers from 1 to 300 installed in the gaming hall, first specify the machine number 1 using the numeric keys NK, then press
By specifying the machine number 300 and pressing the specified number (for example 6) on the numeric key NK,
The number of balls hit, number of supplied balls, subtractive numbers, symbols, etc. for each machine in the game parlor may be printed and recorded. Also,
Using the numerical keys NK, first specify the machine number 1, then specify the machine number 300, and press the specified number (for example, 7) on the numerical keys NK. Control may be performed so that information such as the total number of balls hit, the total number of supplied balls, the total number of subtractive arguments, and symbols are printed and recorded.

Also, if you press the total print key TK2, the cumulative data of all machines will be tallied, and the total number of batted balls,
The total number of supplied pitches, total subtractive arguments, symbols, etc. are printed and recorded using the J printer JRP. Total display key TK3
When you press , the cumulative data of all the machines is totaled, and the difference is displayed on the display device DIS. At this time, if the number of supplied balls is greater than the number of batted balls,
A minus (-) sign is indicated and displayed. When the all-machine tally key TK4 is pressed, the number of batted balls, the number of replenished balls, and the subtraction value are printed for each machine number, and furthermore, the total number of all machines for each machine is printed and recorded. Note that this print recording information records either cumulative data for a certain period (for example, one day) or data after release, depending on the switching of the switch SW1.

When classifying the operating status of each machine for a certain period (one day), set the number of classifications using the numerical key NK, and press the difference (-) key MK1 or the difference (+) key MK2. For example, if you want to extract machines where the difference argument between the number of batted balls and the number of supplied balls is +1000 or more, enter 1000 using the numeric key NK, and press the difference (+) key.
When you press MK2, the machine number corresponding to the difference of 1000 or more, the number of batted balls of that machine number, the number of supplied balls,
Print and record the difference argument.

The number of stop settings for all machines is set using the stop setting thumb rotary switch SM2. By automatic input, the difference argument of any machine can be set as a thumb rotary switch.
When the set value of SM2 is exceeded, a stop command is given for the relevant machine to stop replenishment, and the cumulative data of the relevant machine number is displayed and printed. At the same time, the stop indicator lamp of the relevant table flashes and the buzzer sounds. At this time, if the buzzer stop key BSK is pressed, the buzzer will stop and the display lamp will continue to light up.

If you want to forcibly control a particular machine to stop (for example, if a customer cheats and gives out a prize ball, or if the pachinko machine or replenishment device breaks down), specify the desired machine number using the numeric keys NK. And press the manual stop key HSK. In response, the specified machine is controlled to be discontinued, the discontinuation indicator lamp is turned on, and the accumulated data of the machine is printed and recorded (or displayed).

If you want to cancel automatic suspension and forced suspension,
Specify the machine number to be released using the numeric key NK and press the release key OK. Accordingly, the automatic stop and forced stop of the relevant table are canceled. The numerical key
The NK and the release key OK constitute an opening command means for specifying and instructing a desired pachinko game machine to be opened by operating the pachinko game machine, which is controlled to be stopped by the stop control means described later. .
Further, a computer CPU, which will be described later, operates in accordance with the opening command from the opening command means to perform opening control, and by this computer CPU,
An opening control means is configured to control opening of the pachinko game machine to which an opening command has been given based on the operation of the opening command means. Further, information such as the number of balls hit by the customer who was playing at that machine, the number of balls supplied, and the difference are printed and recorded, and are also cleared, and the stop display lights up. However, the accumulated information of the relevant machine is recorded as is.

When a desired number of replenishments or number of shots is set using the thumb rotary switch (-) for setting the number of replenishment tests and the thumb rotary switch (+) for setting the number of batted balls, a test number is given to all machines.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. The configuration and simple operation will be explained. The plurality of pachinko gaming machines 1 are each provided with a hit ball detector MC and a safe ball detector S. Here, a hit ball is a ball that a player hits into the pachinko machine 1 using a borrowed pachinko ball for playing, and in other words, a profit related to the number of balls that is profitable for the game parlor. It can be said to be ball-related information. In addition, a safe ball is a pachinko ball that has entered a safe hole, etc.
Based on this, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the player, so in other words, this can be said to be disadvantageous ball related information related to the number of balls that is disadvantageous to the gaming parlor. Note that it may be possible to detect an out ball instead of detecting a hit ball, or to detect a prize ball or a supply ball instead of a safe ball, or to detect a payout command signal for a prize ball or a replenishment command signal for a supply ball. It may also be detected. In any case, it is only necessary to detect profitable ball related information related to the number of balls that is profitable for the gaming parlor and unprofitable ball related information related to the number of balls that is disadvantageous to the gaming parlor. The batted ball detector MC
The out ball detector constitutes a profit ball related information detecting means that detects profit ball related information related to the number of balls that are profitable for the gaming hall. In addition, the safe ball detector S, the prize ball detector, the supply ball detector, the prize ball payout command signal, and the supply ball command signal detector detects disadvantageous balls related to the number of balls that are disadvantageous to the gaming hall. A disadvantageous related information detection means for detecting related information is configured. The output pulse a of the hit ball detector MC and the output pulse b of the safe ball detector S are applied to a counter CT. The counter CT counts the hit balls and safe balls for each pachinko game machine 1, and provides the counting output to the memory M1. The memory M1 stores the number of batted balls and the number of safe balls for each pachinko game machine 1, and also stores the difference between the number of safe balls and the number of batted balls calculated by the calculation unit AU. Note that for the number of batted balls, the number of safe pitches, and the subtraction argument, if any two of them are known, the remaining one can be found by calculation, so the memory M1 is
At least two of the number of batted pitches, the number of safe pitches, and the subtraction value may be stored. Furthermore, preferably, the memory M1 is stored for a certain period (for example, one day) for each pachinko game machine 1.
The total number of batted balls and the number of safe pitches is stored, and the number of batted balls and the number of safe pitches for each customer is stored each time the customer changes. Information regarding the difference of each pachinko game machine 1 stored in this memory M1 (for example, the difference between the number of profitable balls and the number of unprofitable balls, or the difference between the number of profitable balls and the number of unprofitable balls converted into a monetary amount), i.e. The difference argument related information is given to a termination control unit HC, which is an example of termination control means. This stop control section HC
When the subtraction related information of each pachinko game machine 1 stored in the memory M1 reaches the predetermined number of stop settings, a stop signal c is sent to the pachinko game machine 1 concerned.
is given to control the stop and display the stop.

Each of the plurality of ball rental machines PL1 to PLn is provided with means (ball rental amount information generating means) for detecting and outputting the number of balls rented (ball rental amount information). The ball rental number detection output for each ball rental is temporarily stored in the memory M2. When ball rental data is commanded to be derived by operating the operation panel OP2, the ball rental number information stored in the memory M2 is read out and given to the arithmetic unit AU for calculation processing. For example, when a customer inserts a coin into a certain ball rental machine PLn and borrows a predetermined number of pachinko balls to play, the ball rental detector generates one pulse in response to each coin insertion. If so, the number of pulses equal to the number of coin insertions is stored in the memory M2. This number of pulses is the calculation unit AU
is given, the calculation unit AU calculates the total number of balls rented by the ball lending machine by multiplying the number of pachinko balls released in response to one coin insertion by the number of pulses. In this way, for example, when information on the total number of balls rented from a certain ball rental machine in a day is given to the central processing/control unit CAC, the central processing/control unit CAC transmits the total information to the output control unit CC and the output adapter. It is applied to the J printer JRP via OA for printing and recording, it is applied to the display device DIS for display, and it is further applied to the magnetic disk MD2 for magnetic recording.

Each output of the operation panels OP1 to OP3 is given to the central processing and control unit CAC as operation command information. In addition, the magnetic disk MD1 reads a magnetic sheet on which program setting information is recorded in advance,
Give that information to the central processing and control unit CAC,
Execute the desired program arithmetic operation. The calculation output of this central processing/control unit CAC is output from the output control unit.
Record or display in CC specified, output adapter OA
is applied to the journal line printer JRP, printer PR, display device DIS, or magnetic disk MD2 via. The calculation unit AU and the central calculation/control unit CAC count the profit ball related information and the disadvantage ball related information according to the output of the profit ball related information detection means and the output of the disadvantage ball related information detection means, and , a calculation means is configured to calculate difference argument related information related to a difference argument that is the difference between the number of profitable pitches and the number of disadvantageous pitches. Note that the parts of these calculations indicated by the chain double-dashed lines are performed by the computer.
It can also be done by the CPU.

FIG. 6 shows the magnetic disks MD1 and MD2.
FIG. 2 is an illustrative diagram of a magnetic sheet used in a magnetic sheet, particularly showing the case where inventory management information is recorded. FIG. 7a shows an example of the case where a profit statistical table for each pachinko game machine is created with the printer PR, and FIG. 7b shows an example of the case where a sales/prize exchange statistical table is created with the printer PR.

Next, specific operations for creating a slip (system statistical table) will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7. For example, if you want to create a revenue statistical table for each pachinko machine over a certain period (for example, one month), press the numeric key NK included in the operation panel OP1, for example from 1 to 500.
Specify all machines up to number, and all machines total key TK4
Press. Accordingly, the difference argument for each pachinko game machine stored in the memory M1 is read out by the central processing/control unit CAC. This subtraction argument (that is, subtraction argument related information) is applied to the magnetic disk MD2 via the output control unit CC and the output adapter OA, and is magnetically recorded on the magnetic sheet. In this way, the information related to the difference for each pachinko game machine for one month is recorded on the magnetic sheet. next,
The magnetic sheet is read out using a reading magnetic disk. The information related to the difference for each pachinko machine for the past month is sent to the printer via the central processing/control unit CAC, output control unit CC, and output adapter OA.
The information is given to the PR and recorded as a profit statistics table as shown in Figure 7a.

In addition, when creating a sales/prize exchange statistical table for each ball rental machine PL1 to PLn, specify all of the ball rental machines PL1 to PLn using the numerical keys NK included in the operation panel OP2, and store them in the memory M2. The number of balls rented from each ball rental machine is read out. This read information is once magnetically recorded on a magnetic sheet by the magnetic disk MD2. In this way, after recording the number of balls rented from each ball rental machine for one month on the magnetic sheet, the recorded information on the magnetic sheet is read out with the magnetic disk MD1, and the read information is sent to the printer PR as shown in FIG. Print and record the sales/prize exchange statistical table as shown in b. The memory M2 stores information on the total ball rental amount for the entire gaming hall on a daily basis, and information on the total premium exchange amount on a daily basis for all the prizes exchanged during the business hours of the entire gaming hall on a daily basis. An information recording means is configured to record information necessary for printing as long-term storage information. Note that this information may be recorded on an external recording medium such as a magnetic sheet.

In addition, when creating a daily product inventory report, enter product inventory information by operating the alpha keys AK and numeric keys TK included in the operation panel OP3, and record the information in a predetermined area of the magnetic sheet using the magnetic disk MD2. let After sequentially inputting product inventory information, the information recorded on the magnetic sheet is read out onto the magnetic disk MD1. This read information is printed and recorded by printer PR.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the management of the operating status of the pachinko machine, the stop control status, the management of sales and profit margins based on the number of balls rented and the number of balls exchanged for prizes, and product inventory management are concentrated. can be managed effectively. In addition, since related information is collectively managed and processed, it is processed extremely quickly, the operation is simple, and the cost required for management is low. Further, each piece of information can be temporarily recorded on a magnetic sheet, and the information on the magnetic sheet can be read out and recorded in print to create a slip, etc., thereby saving labor in administrative processing.

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention allows the convenience of amusement hall management to be made by printing the total information from the time the store opened to the present, thereby printing and recording the information necessary to understand the current state of profit margins and sales of the game hall today. However, an information signal for re-stopping control is output based on information including information related to profitable balls and information related to disadvantageous balls after the opening of the pachinko machine, which is necessary for controlling re-stopping, There is no longer a need for complicated work such as having the game hall attendant calculate and submit information for controlling the suspension when re-terminating the game.
