Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to the field of a system that includes the issuance of IC cards, etc. in pachinko game parlors, and the automatic payout and automatic exchange of prizes and cash.

[Conventional technology] Conventionally, in pachinko parlors, customers put the pachinko balls they have won into an automatic counting machine, the pachinko balls are automatically counted, and after counting, a magnetic card is issued and the issued magnetic card is inserted to win prizes. There was a device that automatically dispensed pachinko balls, and a prize exchange system that, after counting the pachinko balls, exchanged them for a prize corresponding to the number of balls, and automatically exchanged the exchanged prize for cash.

[Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention] Conventionally, there has been no consistent system for counting pachinko balls won by customers as prize balls and exchanging them for cash. Therefore, after countering the pachinko balls, a magnetic card is issued, and after inserting the magnetic card, the prize is paid out.In order to exchange the prize for cash, you have to go to a currency exchange office, etc., which is quite far away from the gaming hall. I had to go out.

Furthermore, separate from the above, instead of issuing a card and using a card-based prize exchange system, pachinko balls are counted and then exchanged for prizes, and these exchanged prizes and cash are exchanged for prizes via an automatic cash exchange device. There was a system that automatically exchanged money for cash.

The former exchange system does not use an IC card, and has insufficient protection against fraud such as forgery and alteration, and is inconvenient due to the distance between prizes and cash.

The latter exchange system does not issue IC cards, so
After the clerk counts the balls, when exchanging them for prizes, the system hands out prizes to the customer corresponding to the total number of pachinko balls by manually inputting or subtracting into the prize management device, which is extremely complicated.

However, in the present invention, after counting the pachinko balls, the IC
A card issuing machine automatically issues an IC card, etc. with the counted value recorded, and the customer inserts the issued IC card, etc. into the prize exchange device, and the customer receives the prize filled in the prize exchange device. Then, the dispensed prizes are put into the automatic cash exchange machine and the cash is dispensed, so that the clerk only needs to touch the balls at the counter, so that from counting the balls, We have developed a system that allows the work process up to the disbursement of cash to be processed consistently, extremely reliably and quickly.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention counts the pachinko balls won by customers in a pachinko game hall using an automatic pachinko ball counting machine equipped with a surplus ball return device that is connected to a prize management machine. A system for causing the pachinko balls to be returned via a return device and for issuing an IC card or the like on which the number of man-hours counted by an IC card or other issuing machine connected to the automatic pachinko ball counting machine is recorded, and an IC card issued by the system. A system for automatically dispensing prizes corresponding to numbers recorded on the IC card, etc. by inserting a card, etc. into a slot for IC cards, etc. constituting an automatic prize dispensing machine that stores prizes; An IC card for use in an amusement arcade, characterized in that the system comprises a system for inserting prizes into a prize input slot constituting an automatic cash dispensing machine, and then paying out cash corresponding to the inserted prizes from a cash dispensing slot. This is an automatic payout and exchange system for issuing prizes and dispensing prizes and cash.

[For production] A detailed explanation of the present invention is as follows.

Pachinko balls are counted by an automatic counting machine, and if there are balls that are worth returning, they are returned to the customer via a surplus ball return device connected to the counting machine, and after counting the pachinko balls, the machine is connected to the automatic counting machine. An IC card or the like on which the counted number of balls is recorded is issued through an IC card or other issuing machine, and the card is handed over to the customer. The total number of pachinko balls counted at that time is immediately read by the boss system connected to the automatic counting machine.

The IC cart etc. issued as described above is inserted into an insertion slot for cards etc. constituting a separate automatic prize dispensing machine. If the IC card or the like is forged or altered when inserted, it has a built-in authenticity identification device so that it can be returned.

If the IC card is correct, a predetermined prize is paid out to the takeout slot.

Next, the paid out prizes are inserted into the prize slot of the automatic teller machine. It has a built-in device that identifies whether the prize is a valid prize or not, and if it is identified as a valid prize, it will be passed through, and if it is a counterfeit, it will be returned. After the prize is identified, cash corresponding to the prize is automatically paid out from the payout slot. As a result of the above, automatic exchange processing between prizes and cash cannot be performed.

[Example] An example of implementing the present invention will be described below.

Reference numeral 1 designates an input slot for balls 2 constituting an automatic pachinko ball counting machine a, 3 a digital display of the counted balls 2, and a surplus ball return device 4 connected to the counting machine a. 5 is a prize management machine connected to the automatic pachinko ball counting machine a, and 6 is a card, magnetic card, optical IC card, etc. having a storage device connected to the automatic pachinko ball counting machine a and the prize management machine 5. B, which is the issuing machine for the IC card 7, is an automatic prize payout machine, and this payout machine requires the IC card 7 to be issued.
It has an insertion opening section 8 and a prize dispensing opening section 9. The dispensing machine has a built-in device for identifying whether a genuine or false IC card is connected to the insertion slot 8 of the IC card 7. Also, a large number of prizes are stored in the payout machine. The above-mentioned identification device and prize dispensing device will be omitted.

C is an automatic cash dispensing machine, which is shown schematically in the present invention. Reference numeral 10 denotes an insertion slot for the prize 1] that constitutes the dispensing machine C, and there is a built-in device for identifying whether the prize 11 inserted into the insertion slot 10 is genuine or false, but this is omitted. It is. Authentic prizes 11
In this case, cash 12 is dispensed from the dispensing opening section 13.

The automatic cash dispensing machine C of the present invention has a built-in dispensing device for dispensing cash 12, but will not be described here.

[Effects (1) The present invention allows an IC card, etc., to be immediately issued by a ticket issuing machine such as an IC card connected to the above-mentioned counting machine after being counted by an automatic pachinko ball counting machine, and the issued IC cart. etc. to the customer, the customer inserts the IC card, etc. into the card slot of the automatic prize dispenser, receives the prize, and then inserts the paid prize into the automatic cash dispensing machine. Since it is a series of systems that exchange for cash, it eliminates the traditional work of store staff handing out prizes to customers one by one, and also eliminates the negative aspects such as human calculation errors and input errors that occur when exchanging prizes. It has many advantages in that it saves labor and rationalizes manpower and reduces costs.

(2) Furthermore, the present invention enables, by issuing an IC card, etc.
It can be fully used to prevent counterfeiting and alteration.

(3) Furthermore, since the present invention is an integrated system that automatically pays out prizes from an automatic ball counting machine and automatically exchanges prizes with cash, it can be done efficiently, reliably, and quickly. The present invention has extremely excellent advantages that do not exist in the prior art.
