Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine.

If a clerk at a pachinko parlor cancels a pachinko game after forcing a customer who has more balls than the set number of balls to stop playing pachinko, a new customer will continue playing pachinko after the previous customer. When playing a game, there is an inconvenience that the game ends even though the number of balls taken is less than the set number of balls to be played. Also, if you change the number of balls you hit during business hours, the relationship between the new number of balls you hit and the number of balls you actually hit will be incorrect depending on the difference in the number of balls at the time of the change, and the number of balls you hit will be higher than the number of balls you hit. There are cases where it comes out.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko game machine that can improve the above-mentioned drawbacks and make it possible to stop the game correctly.

The present invention will be described below by way of examples with reference to the drawings.

By rotating this handle 23, a motor 24 is actuated and the saucer 22 rolls into the pachinko machine. The balls are played one by one with a handle 23 and driven along a guide rail 25. A shutter 26 is provided in the ball passage between the saucer 22 and the triggering device including the motor 24, and this shutter 26 is activated to block the ball passage when the ball is stopped. A prize ball discharging device 27 is provided on the back side of the pachinko game machine 20, and pachinko balls are supplied to the prize ball discharging device 27 from a ball distribution channel (not shown) through an introduction pipe 28. The opening of the pachinko game machine 20 or the controller 21 is located near the exit of the introduction pipe 28.
A stopper 72 is provided which closes the outlet of the inlet pipe 28 under the control of. The prize ball discharge device 27 is driven via the controller 21 when the detection devices 54 ₁ to 54 ₁₄ output ball detection signals, and discharges the prize balls to the tray 22 . When the saucer 22 is full of pachinko balls, the pachinko balls overflowing from the saucer inlet 71 are guided to the guide gutter 29 and collected in the lower saucer 30 through the opening 31.

The pachinko balls that have passed through the safe holes 1 to 14 and the out hole 15 are collectively discharged to the outside through a discharge pipe 32. Data display section 3 is located on the front of the pachinko machine.
3 is provided, and this data display section 33 displays data such as ball in and ball out from the controller 21 in numbers. When a pachinko ball enters the safe hole, the controller 21 not only discharges the prize ball from the prize ball ejecting device 27 but also drives an electric accessory. At the top of the pachinko game machine 20, a prize ball display device 34 and a stoppage display device 35, which also serve as an abnormality display device, are provided.

Next, the control system of this embodiment will be explained. As shown in FIG. 3, the controller 21 includes a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 4 including input/output ports.
0, RAM 42, and ROM 43, counters 41 ₁ to 41 ₁₅ , prize ball device drive circuit 44, prize ball counter 38, operation recognition device 46, prize ball comparison circuit 47, and difference ball total counter. a counting means 48 consisting of a differential ball striking set number comparison circuit 49, and a confirmation circuit that detects the operation of the pachinko machine 20 by recognizing the presence or absence of pachinko balls in the saucer 22 and the presence or absence of handle operation. It is composed of an operation detection means 50 and an attached game machine operation determination device 51. Counter 41 ₁ ~
41 ₁₅ counts the ball detection signals from the detection devices 54 ₁ to 54 ₁₅ , respectively, and the CPU 40 counts the ball detection signals from the detection devices 54 1 to 54 15, respectively, and the CPU 40 counts the ball detection signals from the detection devices 54 ₁ to 54 15, respectively.
Capture and memorize each of the ₁₅ counts in order. The ball detection switch 53 is, for example, a switch that detects the presence or absence of pachinko balls in the tray 22, and is attached to the tray 22. The confirmation circuit 50 is a ball detection switch 53
A detection signal is input from the counter 41 ₁
The operation of the pachinko game machine 20 is detected by confirming that any one of 41 to ₁₅ is performing a counting operation, that is, there are pachinko balls in the saucer 22 or that the handle 23 is being operated. CPU40 is
Processing of input signals and outputting of output signals are performed using the RAM 42 according to the program in the ROM 43, and the operation recognition device 46 is activated by a signal from the confirmation circuit 50. Further, the CPU 40 determines from the count values of the counters 41 ₁ to 41 ₁₄ that the pachinko balls have entered the safe holes 1 to 14 and operates the prize ball device drive circuit 44 .
drives the prize ball ejecting device 27 to eject the prize ball, simultaneously drives the light emitting acoustic display device 34A to display the ejection of the prize ball, and further operates the accessory drive device 61 to drive the electric accessory 62. let Electric accessories 6
Reference numeral 2 denotes a ticket or an accessory game machine, and the accessory game machine operation determination device 51 determines whether the operation conditions of the accessory game machine are satisfied or not, and sends a signal to the CPU 40 to set the value of the prize ball counter 38. Have them perform processing such as making changes. The CPU 40 sets the set number of prize balls in the prize ball counter 38, and the number of pachinko balls ejected from the prize ball ejecting device 27 is counted by the prize ball ejected ball counter 63, and the counted value is calculated by the prize ball comparison circuit 47. It is compared with the set value of the prize ball counter 38. When the count value of the prize ball ejected ball counter 63 becomes greater than the value of the prize ball counter 38, the abnormality display device 35 is activated by the output signal of the prize ball comparison circuit 47.
At the same time as B and the light emitting/acoustic display device 65 are activated, the shutter 26 is activated, making pachinko play impossible.

The CPU 40 takes in the counts of the counters 41 ₁ to 41 ₁₅ and calculates the number of pachinko balls that have been ejected as prize balls, and the number of balls that have been received, that is, the number of pachinko balls that have been ejected as prize balls.
The difference between the number of pachinko balls hit to 0 and the number of pachinko balls hit is counted by a difference ball counting counter 48, and the counted value is compared with the set number of balls hit in a difference ball/stop setting number comparison circuit 49. When the counted value of the difference ball total counter 48 reaches the set stop number, the output signal of the difference ball/stop set number comparison circuit 49 is output as a stop signal, and the light emitting/acoustic display device 35 is activated, and at the same time the shutter 26 is activated. is activated, making it impossible to play pachinko. Therefore, the difference ball/stop setting number comparison circuit 49 and the CPU 4
0 constitutes a stopping means. The CPU 40 takes in the values of the counters ₄₁₁ to ₄₁₁₅ , calculates data such as ball entry and ball output, and displays these data on the display section 3.
3, and when the stop cancellation switch 69 is turned on, the data such as balls entered and balls calculated between the stop and the stop are cleared by the signal from this switch 69, and the difference ball total counter 48 is displayed. Clear. Therefore, the CPU 40 constitutes a clearing means for clearing the difference ball total counter 48 by canceling the stop. Furthermore, CPU40 has digital switch 7
The set stop number inputted in step 3 is set in the difference ball/set stop number comparison circuit 49, and therefore the set stop number can be arbitrarily changed by the digital switch 73.

When the stop switch 70 is turned on and a forced stop is applied, the CPU 40 detects this using a signal from the switch 70 and operates the shutter 26 at the same time as the stopper 72, as shown in FIG. Stops the supply of balls. Therefore, the stop switch 70 and the CPU 40 constitute forced stop means. Also digital switch 7
3, when the set number of balls to stop is changed and a special addition is made, the CPU 40 clears data such as ball entry and ball output, clears the difference ball total counter 48, disables the stopper 72, and replenishes balls. start.
Further, when the forced stop is canceled by the stop cancel switch 69 after the forced stop is applied, the CPU 40
In this case, data such as ball entry and ball output are cleared, the difference ball total counter 48 is cleared, and the stopper 72 is deactivated to start supplying balls in the same way as when canceling the stop. Therefore, the stop release switch 69 and
The CPU 40 constitutes a stop release means, and the CPU 40
0 constitutes a clearing means for clearing the difference ball total counter 48 by canceling the forced stop.

As described above, according to the present invention, the difference in balls is cleared by canceling the forced stop, so a new customer after the forced stop will start playing pachinko from a state where the difference balls are zero, and set the stop. It will be stopped in numbers. Also, if you change the set number of stops, if you force a stop, the difference ball will be zero, so you can stop with the new set number of balls. Moreover, since the difference ball is automatically cleared by forced stop, the operator does not need to perform any operation to clear the difference ball, and the operability is significantly improved. Furthermore, since it is equipped with an operation detection means for detecting that the pachinko machine is in operation, and an operation recognition device that is activated by an operation detection signal from the operation detection means, it is possible to determine whether or not the pachinko machine is in operation. This makes it possible to continuously recognize that the pachinko machine is in operation even when the player is taking a short break.
