Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a pachinko machine equipped with a device for notifying fraudulent activity.

Conventional Technology Conventionally, when a player commits a fraudulent act by using a magnet on the glass plate attached to the base frame of a pachinko machine, the purpose of this system is to detect the fraudulent act and prevent it from happening again. A method for preventing fraud using magnets in pachinko machines has been proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-26939, in which a magnetically sensitive element is mounted at a desired position on the back of the game board, and the magnetically sensitive element balances the machine. A relay is activated through a differential amplifier circuit, a differential amplifier circuit, and a stable smoothing circuit, and the movement of this relay turns on an indicator light, alerts an alarm, or disables the ball batting function.

In addition, if a player attempts to open the glass plate attached to the base frame of a pachinko machine using a screwdriver, etc., the system is designed to detect fraudulent activity and prevent recurrence of the fraudulent activity. Glass door opening notification device published in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 51-145654
This is shown in the above publication, and in a game hall, inside pachinko machines arranged in rows on each island,
A sensing switch is provided for sensing the opening of the glass door, and the opening of the glass door is notified at the end of each island or on the surface of the mounting plate of the island corresponding to each pachinko machine in accordance with the operation of the sensing switch. The sensor is provided with alarms for detecting the alarm, and the operation of these alarms can be stopped by a control switch other than the sensing switch.

However, in the pachinko machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-26939, if a fraudulent act using a magnet is performed instantaneously, the activation time of the relay is instantaneous.
It has the disadvantage that it is very difficult to detect this fraudulent activity, and the glass door opening notification device for pachinko machines disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 51-145654, when it detects that the glass door has been opened, The system is designed to sound a buzzer and turn on a lamp, but even if fraudulent activity is recognized by the buzzer, the lamp remains lit, making it difficult to confirm that the lamp is lit if the lighting in the amusement park is too bright. As a result, there was a problem that the detection of fraudulent activities was delayed.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem when a player commits a fraudulent act by using a magnet on the glass plate attached to the base frame of a pachinko machine, even if the fraudulent act is instantaneous. However, if a player tries to illegally open the glass plate attached to the base frame of a pachinko machine, the cheating display section will be displayed for a certain period of time to make it possible to detect cheating. To provide a Pachinko machine which repeatedly displays a section on and off and makes it easy to discover fraudulent activities even when the lighting in a game parlor is too bright.

Means for Solving the Problems A pachinko machine equipped with the notification device of the present invention includes a base frame on which a game board is mounted and a glass frame that can be opened and closed,
an open detection means for detecting opening of the glass frame to the base frame; a magnetic force detection means for detecting magnetic force when a magnet approaches a glass plate attached to the glass frame;
In a pachinko machine in which a cheating display section is provided in a part of the base frame, a flashing display circuit repeatedly displays the cheating display section in a lit state and an unlit state by operation of the opening detection means or the magnetic force detection means; , for a certain period of time after the activation of the detection means,
The present invention is characterized in that it includes a maintenance circuit that operates the blinking display circuit.

Function: When a player attempts to open the glass frame provided in the base frame of a pachinko machine, the opening detection means provided in the base frame detects the opening of the glass frame and operates, and the blinking display circuit detects fraudulent activity. The display unit repeatedly displays the on and off states, and when the player brings a magnet close to the glass plate attached to the glass frame, the magnetic force detection means is activated and the maintenance circuit blinks for a certain period of time. The display circuit is activated, and the fraudulent activity display section repeatedly displays a lit state and an off state,
Report misconduct.

When the changeover switch SW4 is ON, conduction is made through the changeover switch SW4, the fraud indicator lamp L2 is turned on, and the fraud display section 19 lights up to notify of fraud.

Further, when the changeover switch SW5 is ON, conduction is established via the reset switch RS, which is a normally closed switch, and the changeover switch SW5, and the self-propelled multivibrator 34, which is a blinking display circuit, is activated.
The fraud display lamp L2 is repeatedly turned on and off through the resistor R8 and the transistors Tr4 and Tr5, and the fraud display section 19 flashes to notify the fraud.

In addition, the glass plate 3 installed on the glass frame 4 by the player
When an attempt is made to commit fraud by using a magnet from above, the magnet turns on the magnet switch MS, which is a magnetic force detection means, and the maintenance circuit 35 is activated.
At the same time, the transistor Tr1 is activated via the resistor R3, and when the changeover switch SW4 is ON, the fraud indicator lamp L2 is turned on, and when the changeover switch SW5 is ON, the
Self-propelled multivibrator 34 which is a flashing display circuit
is activated, causing the fraud indicator lamp L2 to repeatedly turn on and off, and the fraud display section 19 notifies the user of fraud.

Even after the magnet switch MS is turned off, the capacitor C6 is discharged for a certain period of time by the resistors R2 and R3 of the sustain circuit 35.
The fraudulent activity indicator lamp L2 is turned on or blinks.

Furthermore, whether the player attempts to illegally open the glass frame 4 using a screwdriver or the like, or attempts to commit fraud by using a magnet from above the glass plate 3, relay RY1 becomes conductive. The relay contact ry1 is turned OFF and the ball hitting motor M is stopped.

Furthermore, when adjusting the pachinko machine 1, the employee opens the glass frame 4 and makes adjustments, so the upper frame switch SW1 and the lower frame switch SW2 are turned on, turning on the fraud indicator lamp L2 and turning on the batting motor M. to stop, but the reset switch
When RS is operated to turn OFF, relay contact ry1 of relay RY1 turns ON, so ball striking handle 1
By operating the ball-striking switch SW3 provided at 0, the ball-striking motor M is activated and a pachinko ball can be fired.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the pachinko machine equipped with the alarm of the present invention can prevent fraud when a player uses a magnet from above the glass plate attached to the base frame of the pachinko machine. Even if the action is instantaneous,
The cheating display section is displayed for a certain period of time to make it possible to detect cheating, and if a player tries to illegally open the glass plate attached to the base frame of the pachinko machine, the cheating display section will be displayed for a certain period of time. is repeatedly turned on and off, and even if the lighting in the game hall is too bright, it is possible to easily discover fraudulent acts and prevent the recurrence of fraudulent acts.
