Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention provides a method for determining the number of out balls of a plurality of pachinko game machines. Collection Φ management for pachinko halls that aggregates management data such as the number of safe balls and the number of differential balls for each pachinko game machine, and uses the management data for adjusting the nails of the pachinko game machine. Regarding equipment.

(Prior Art) A pachinko game machine outputs an out ball counting pulse indicating the number of out balls (number of pachinko balls played) and a safe ball counting pulse indicating the number of safe balls (number of pachinko balls released as f balls). A central control device constituted by a computer receives each of the counting pulses outputted from a plurality of pachinko game machines as a data signal. And in the case of a central control device,
Based on the above data signal, the number of out balls, safe man-hours,
Management data consisting of multiple items such as differential man-hours, ball output rate, number of stops, etc. is aggregated for each pachinko game machine, and this aggregated data is output as displayed or printed as necessary. .

Therefore, it is possible to grasp the income and expenditure situation of the pachinko game machine using such management data.

By the way, in order to improve management efficiency in pachinko halls, the characteristics of each pachinko game machine, such as its operating status, differential number of balls, payout rate, and number of shots, are grasped, and the characteristics are adjusted as appropriate through so-called nail adjustment. We are currently operating while making adjustments. That is, conventionally, after the pachinko hall closes or before the opening of the pachinko hall, the nails of the pachinko game machine are adjusted based on the management data. I try to do M adjustment. Nails like this: J3! In order to do this accurately and without waste, it is desirable to refer to the management data for the pachinko game machine that is the subject of nail adjustment going back several days. The management data for each day of the pachinko game machine to be adjusted is printed out in an enumeration form going back several days, and such printed data is used for nail adjustment. However, although it is possible to grasp the flow of the income and expenditure status of pachinko game machines over several days according to the above printed data, it is difficult to quickly and accurately grasp the average income and expenditure status over that period. It has been proposed that the management device averages management data for a predetermined number of days (for example, one week) and prints the average result.

(The invention is about to be decided. Problem) After adjusting the nails of a pachinko game machine, it is necessary to confirm the effect of the nail adjustment.For this reason, in the past, it was necessary to check the changes in management data after adjusting the nails. The condition is being followed up and the results of this investigation will be reflected in the next nail adjustment.

In this case, since it is impossible to judge the effect of nail adjustment in one or two days, management data for a relatively long number of days is used as reference, and of course, management data τ for the above number of days is used as reference. The average value of is also used to judge the effectiveness of nail adjustment. However, the average value of the management data obtained with the conventional configuration is simply an average of the management data for a predetermined number of days. Management data for each day may be included, and in this case, there is a problem that the effect of nail A adjustment cannot be accurately determined.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to easily obtain data useful for accurately determining the effect of nail adjustment when adjusting the nails of a pachinko game machine. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a centralized control device for pachinko halls.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides management data consisting of a plurality of items such as out man-hours, number of safe balls, and differential man-hours of a plurality of pachinko game machines for each pachinko game machine. The system is equipped with a calculation means for totalizing the daily total data by the calculating means, a storage means for storing the daily total data divided by each day, and an output means for displaying or printing the stored contents of the calculation means as necessary. This device is intended for a centralized control device for pachinko halls, and includes an operation means that is operated when the nail adjustment of the pachinko game machine is performed, and the calculation means is operated on a day-to-day basis for each pachinko game machine. Performing an operation of averaging the management data for each item from the time when the operating means is operated until the operating means is operated again or until a predetermined number of days have passed from the above-mentioned time, and The average result is stored in the storage means.

(Function) The calculation means aggregates certain management data from the number of items for each of a plurality of pachinko game machines, and the management data for each pachinko game machine compiled in this way is calculated on a daily basis. The information is divided into minutes and stored in the storage means. Therefore, after adjusting the nails of the pachinko game machine, the operation means is operated, and when such an operation is performed, the calculation means is operated for each pachinko game machine stored in the storage means. The operation of averaging the management data for each day for each item is performed from the time of the operation until the operating means is operated again or until a predetermined number of days have passed from the above time, and the average The results are stored in the storage means. Therefore, by displaying or printing the stored contents of this storage means by the output means, it is possible to easily know the average data for each item of management data of the pachinko game machine for a predetermined period after adjusting the pachinko game machine. This data makes it possible to accurately judge the effect of the nail adjustment.

For data storage areas configured to support
It is stored in association with the current date indicated by the date data signal Sd.

Next, it is determined whether the nail adjustment rank signal S' has been input (step A4), and if the signal Sr has not been input, it is determined whether the printing command signal Sp has been input (step A5). ).

If both the nail adjustment rank signal Sr and the printing command signal Sp are not input, it is determined whether the business start signal Sop has been input, that is, whether the pachinko hall's business start time has arrived (step A6). ), when the business start time has arrived, the process returns to step A1, but if the business start time has not yet arrived, the process returns to step A4. Therefore,
From the closing time of the pachinko hall until the opening time of the next day, the nail adjustment rank signal S is sent from the keyboard 7.
The input operations of r and print command signal Sp become valid.

When rYESJ is determined in step A4, that is, when the nail adjustment rank signal S'' is input (at this time, the machine number signal Sn is also input at the same time as is clear from the previous explanation), the nail The nail adjustment degree NR (represented by any of raJ to reJ) indicated by the adjustment rank signal S' is stored in the data storage area of the storage circuit 9 that corresponds to the machine number signal Sn that is manually input at the same time. The area is stored as part of the management data in association with the current date indicated by the date data signal Sd (routine A7). After this, among the management data stored in the storage circuit 9, the management data of the pachinko game machine 1 stored in the data storage area corresponding to the input machine number signal Sn is stored for each item.
Up to the data of the date when the nail adjustment degree NR was last stored (
If the nail adjustment degree NR is not stored, it is averaged going back (for example, up to one week ago), and the average result is stored in the original data storage area as the management data average value (routine A8). Afterwards, the process moves to step A6.

In addition, when it is determined as "YESJ" in step A5, that is, when the printing command signal Sp is manually input (at this time, as is clear from the previous explanation, the machine number (ci j; 3-S
n is also input at the same time), first, routine A9, which has the same content as routine A8, is executed. That is, among the management data stored in the storage circuit 9, the management data for the pachinko game machine 1 stored in the data storage area corresponding to the input machine number signal Sn is adjusted for each item previously. The data is averaged going back to the date on which the degree NR was stored (if the A consistency degree NR is not stored, for example, to the date one week ago), and
The average result is stored in the original data storage area as a management data average value. After this, the management data and the management data average value stored in the data storage area of the data storage area of the memory circuit 9 corresponding to the machine number signal Sn that is simultaneously input are stored in the machine number associated with these and the management data average value. The data is read together with the date data, and the thus read data is given to the print control device 8 to be printed by the printer 10 (routine A10), after which the process moves to step A6. At this time, the printer 10 prints the management data for each item and the average value of the management data in association with the machine number and date of the pachinko game Iso 1, as shown in FIG. In addition, in Figure 3, "out", "
The terms safe J and rfiJ indicate 1/10 numbers, and the unit of the term "ball output rate" is %.

In summary, when the nail y3 consistency NR of the pachinko game machine 1 is manually inputted through the keyboard 7 after nail adjustment, the number of out balls, the number of safe balls, and the number of difference balls for the pachinko game machine 1 that was the target of the nail adjustment. For each item, certain management data, such as number, can be traced back to the date of the last nail adjustment (if the nail adjustment was the first one, to the date one week ago). averaged to
The average result is stored as a management data average value.

When the print command signal Sp is input through the keyboard 7, the management data regarding the pachinko game machine 1 corresponding to the machine number signal Sn input at the same time as the input operation and the average value of the management data are set to a predetermined value. The machine number and date data of the pachinko game machine 1 are printed on the 8th page going back in number of days.
