Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device for managing a plurality of pachinko game machines, and particularly to a management device for pachinko game machines for obtaining data necessary for nail adjustment of the pachinko game machines. The purpose of this is to develop a pachinko game machine that can quantitatively detect the fluctuation state of the difference in balls gained and lost, which is a guideline for nail adjustment, and that can accurately adjust the nails of the pachinko game machine. To provide management equipment.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a pachinko game machine, one of which is a pachinko game machine, which has an output terminal A for counting prize balls that generates one pulse for every 10 prize balls, and an output terminal A for counting prize balls, which generates one pulse for every 10 balls hit. It is equipped with an output terminal B for counting batted balls, which generates one pulse per pulse. 2 is a calculation means that calculates the difference between the hit ball and the prize ball (the value obtained by subtracting the total number of prize balls from the total number of hit balls) based on each pulse from the output terminals A and B of the pachinko game machine 1; The calculation result is output as a numerical signal _S2 . Further, the calculation means 2 is configured to initialize the calculation contents when a pulse signal is received at its reset terminal R. 3 is a first comparison circuit, which compares the numerical signal S ₂ and a positive set value +Xa preset in the storage unit 4, and outputs one pulse when the relationship S ₂ ≧Xa is established. Output signal _P3 . 5 is the second
This is a comparison circuit that compares the numerical signal S ₂ and a negative set value −Xb preset in the storage unit 6, and determines that S ₂ ≧
When the relationship of Xb is established, one pulse signal _P5 is output. The pulse signals P ₃ and P ₅ from the respective comparison circuits 3 and 5 are applied to the reset terminal R of the arithmetic means 2 via an OR circuit 7 serving as an initialization means, and are also input to the storage means 8. It is composed of In the storage means 8, the numbers of input pulse signals P ₃ and P ₅ are counted by counting circuits 9 and 10, respectively, and a subtracting circuit 11
From the counting result of the counting circuit 9, the counting circuit 10
The counting results of the counting circuits 9 and 10 and the computing result of the subtracting circuit 11 are stored in the storage circuit 12, respectively. Among the stored contents of the storage circuit 12, the counting results of the counting circuits 9 and 10 correspond to the number of times the calculation result of the calculation means 2 reaches each of the positive and negative set values +Xa and -Xa, respectively, and is subtracted. The calculation result of the circuit corresponds to the difference between the above respective times.

On the other hand, reference numeral 13 denotes an operation rate calculation means, which calculates the number of balls hit by the pachinko game machine 1 in a predetermined time based on the pulses from the output terminal B of the pachinko game machine 1. It is divided by the number of balls, and the division result is output as an operation rate signal _S13 indicating the operation rate of the pachinko game machine 1. 1
4 is an evaluation value calculation circuit which receives the operation rate signal S ₁₃ and the memory contents of the storage circuit 12 as input, and this is an evaluation value calculation circuit which receives the operation rate signal S 13 and the memory contents of the storage circuit 12 as input, and this is the evaluation value calculation circuit which is obtained by the above input (A) when the calculation result of the calculation means 2 reaches a positive set value +Xa. The number of times, (B) the number of times the same calculation result reached the negative set value - In addition to ranking in the range of 1 to 10 points, the scores of A, B, C, and D obtained through such ranking are arithmetic averaged, and the arithmetic mean score is used as the evaluation value signal _S14. Output. Reference numeral 15 denotes a printer that receives the evaluation value signal S ₁₄ via the driver 16, and prints out the machine number of the pachinko game machine 1 and the arithmetic mean score indicated by the evaluation value signal S ₁₄ , that is, the evaluation value M of the pachinko game machine 1. Print it out as written.

Although FIG. 1 shows a circuit configuration for controlling only one pachinko game machine 1, it is of course possible to actually control a large number of pachinko game machines.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. The difference between balls won and lost in the pachinko game machine 1, ie, the calculation result of the calculation means 2, changes in a wavy manner from the opening time Ts to the closing time _TE of the pachinko hall, as shown in FIG. 3a, for example. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3b, when the calculation result of the calculation means 2 reaches the positive set value +Xa at time _t1 , the first comparison circuit 3 outputs the pulse signal _P3 . The calculation contents of the calculation means 2 are initialized by the pulse signal _P3 , and the calculation means 2 restarts the calculation of the difference between the hit ball and the prize ball from the beginning, and the count value of the counting circuit 9 becomes "1". Step up. After this, at time t ₂ , the calculation result of calculation means 2 is a negative set value -
When Xb is reached, a pulse signal is sent from the second comparator circuit 5.
Since P ₅ is output, the calculation contents of the calculation means 2 are initialized by the pulse signal P ₅ , and
The count value of the counting circuit 10 steps up to "1". After this, the same operation as described above is repeated, and as a result, in the example of Fig. 3, the closing time T _E
At this time, the count value of the counting circuit 9 reaches "8", and the count value of the counting circuit 10 reaches "5", and the result of subtraction by the subtracting circuit 11 becomes "3". In this case, if the operation rate of the pachinko game machine 1 indicated by the operation rate signal _S13 is, for example, 50%, the calculation result by the evaluation value calculation circuit 14, that is, the evaluation value M of the pachinko game machine 1 is As can be understood from Figure 2, M = A + B + C + D / 4 = 2 + 2 + 9 + 6 / 4 = 4.75, and such evaluation value M is Pachinko game machine 1.
The machine number is printed out by the printer 15.

By the way, it is generally said that for pachinko game machines, the more the fluctuations in the difference between balls gained and lost and the shorter the period of the fluctuations, the better for the business of the pachinko hall. This is used as a guideline for adjustment. However, in the past, although devices have been provided that can detect the peak value of the slump mentioned above, there is no device that can detect the slump itself as a quantitative value, and therefore it is difficult to adjust the nails of pachinko game machines. There was a problem that it could not be done properly. On the other hand, according to this embodiment,
When the difference in balls won and lost in the pachinko game machine 1 fluctuates sharply and the period of the fluctuation is short (that is, when the slump is large), each count value of the counting circuits 9 and 10 becomes large and the calculated value of the subtraction circuit 11 becomes small. The above-mentioned evaluation value M obtained from the ranking result of each count value and calculated value represents the slump as a quantitative value.
Furthermore, the operation rate of the pachinko game machine 1, which is necessary as a guideline for nail adjustment, is also added to this evaluation value M, and therefore, according to this embodiment, the pachinko game machine 1 is adjusted based on such evaluation value M. It is possible to accurately adjust the nails of the game machine 1.

In this case, the evaluation value M is pachinko game machine 1.
Of course, it is not necessary to take into consideration the operating rate of .

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, but includes, for example, arithmetic means,
Of course, each function such as the storage means may be obtained by a program of a microcomputer, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

According to the present invention, as is clear from the above explanation, it is possible to detect as a quantitative value the fluctuation state of the difference in balls won and lost in a pachinko game machine, which is a guideline for adjusting the nails. It is possible to provide a management device for a pachinko game machine that has the practical effect of making adjustments accurately.
