Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a pachinko hall management device for managing data related to a large number of pachinko game machines.

(Prior art) In a pachinko hall, based on the total number of players playing at each pachinko game machine on the day, the number of players per unit time at the pachinko game machine or the playing time per player, etc. Knowing the trends of players is necessary for creating management data such as the amount of income and expenditure per player.

(Problem that the invention attempts to solve) However, in the past, there was no device that could grasp the total number of players playing at each pachinko game machine, and therefore, it was necessary to calculate the number of players playing at each pachinko game machine per hour. The reality is that one person is responsible for calculating various data, and as a result, it is not possible to accurately create data related to the number of players at a pachinko game machine.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to accurately and easily determine the total number of players playing at each pachinko game machine.
To provide a management device for a pachinko hall that has effects such as being able to accurately create data relating to the number of players in a pachinko game machine.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) The pachinko hall management device according to the invention is a pulse generator that generates counting pulses in real time according to the number of out balls for each pachinko game machine. In addition to providing a circuit, timer means for executing a time operation every time the output of the counting pulse is stopped is provided corresponding to each of the pulse generation circuits, and further, the timer operation by the timer means is continued for a predetermined time or more. Each timer means is provided with a counter that counts up and outputs the count value as a signal indicating the total number of players of the corresponding pachinko game machine.

(Function) In the pachinko game machine where games are played,
A number of counting pulses corresponding to the number of out balls are output at relatively short time intervals. At this time, the timer means executes a timer operation every time the output of the counting pulse is stopped, but since the output cycle of the counting pulse is short, the timer operation is not continued for more than a predetermined time. The counter will never count up. Thereafter, when no game is played on the pachinko game machine, the output of the counting pulse is stopped for a predetermined period of time or more, and during this time the timer operation of the timer means progresses and the counter starts counting up. Therefore, the count value of the counter corresponds to the total number of players playing the pachinko game machine.

(Example) The figure shows the electrical configuration of a pachinko hall management device. That is, 1, 1, . . . are a large number of pachinko game machines, and each pachinko game machine 1 is provided with pulse generation circuits 2 and 3. The pulse generating circuit 2 counts out balls (hit balls) of the pachinko game machine 1, and outputs one counting pulse Pa for every 10 out balls, for example, in real time. Further, the other pulse generating circuit 3 counts the safe balls (prize balls) of the pachinko game machine 1 and outputs, for example, one counting pulse Pb for every 10 safe balls in real time.

Reference numeral 4 denotes an arithmetic means for receiving each of the counting pulses Pa and Pb, which will be described below. The calculation means 4 is well known in this type of pachinko hall management device, and includes functions other than those shown, but only representative functions are shown here. That is, 5 is a first counting circuit provided corresponding to each pachinko game machine 1, which accumulates the input counting pulse Pa and calculates the accumulated result as an out ball of the corresponding pachinko game machine 1. Numerical signal S ₁ indicating the number
Output sequentially as . 6 is a second counting circuit provided correspondingly to each pachinko game machine 1, which accumulates the input counting pulses Pb,
The cumulative results are sequentially output as a numerical signal _S2 indicating the number of safe balls of the corresponding pachinko game machine 1.
7 is a subtraction circuit provided corresponding to each pair of the first and second counting circuits 5 and 6, which calculates the value indicated by the numerical signal _S1 (corresponding to the number of out balls) from the numerical signal S1. The numerical value shown by S ₂ (corresponding to the number of safe balls) is subtracted in sequence, and the subtraction result is converted into a numerical signal S ₃ indicating the difference in the number of balls between out balls and safe balls.
Output as . Reference numeral 8 denotes a storage section provided corresponding to each subtraction circuit 7, in which a stop setting value N (negative number) which can be arbitrarily changed is stored. 9 is a comparison circuit provided corresponding to each subtraction circuit 7;
This is done when the stop setting value N is compared with the numerical signal S ₃ (corresponding to the difference in the number of balls) from the subtraction circuit 7, and when the relationship N≧S ₃ is reached, in other words, the pachinko game machine 1
outputs a stop signal S _x when it is stopped. Although not shown, when such a stop signal S _x is output, a stop display lamp provided on the main body of the pachinko hall management device corresponding to the machine number of each pachinko game machine 1 is lit, This will notify that the cancellation has occurred.

Now, 10 is a retrigger type monostable multivibrator which is a timer means provided corresponding to each pulse generating circuit 2.
Every time the counting pulse Pa from (counting pulse
It is triggered every time Pa disappears) and executes a timer operation for a predetermined time T corresponding to a preset time constant, and during the timer operation period, a monostable pulse that rises to a logic value "1" signal is generated. It is configured to output Pm. The timer operating time T is set, for example, to about several minutes in accordance with the time required for changing players at the pachinko game machine 1. Reference numeral 11 denotes a trigger circuit that receives the output of the monostable multivibrator 10 via the inverter 12.
In other words, the signal 1 triggered every time the monostable pulse Pm from the monostable multivibrator 12 disappears.
Trigger pulses Pt are generated. 13 is a counter provided corresponding to each monostable multivibrator 10, which counts up every time a trigger pulse Pt is applied from the trigger circuit 11, and calculates the count value as the total number of games played by the corresponding pachinko game machine 1. It is configured to output as a numerical signal _S4 indicating the number of personnel. 14 is each counter 1
This is a memory circuit that sequentially updates and stores the numerical signals _S4 from 3, and is configured so that the stored contents can be printed out by the printer 15 as needed.

According to the above configuration, from the pachinko game machine 1 where a game is being played, the counting pulse Pa is transmitted at a relatively short period (specifically, a period shorter than the timer operating time T set in the monostable multivibrator 10).
is output. Therefore, the monostable multivibrator 10 is newly triggered every time the output of the counting pulse Pa stops, and in response, the monostable pulse Pm is continuously output. Therefore, when a game is being played on the pachinko game machine 1, the monostable pulse Pm does not disappear, so the trigger pulse Pt is not output from the trigger circuit 11, and the pachinko game machine 1
The counter 13 corresponding to the above is not counted up. Thereafter, when the player at the pachinko game machine 1 finishes playing and leaves the game, the output of the counting pulse Pa is stopped for more than the timer time T, so that the monostable multivibrator 10 cannot be retriggered. The monostable pulse Pm disappears without being carried out. Then, the trigger circuit 11 is triggered and a trigger pulse Pt is output, and in response, the counter 13 starts counting up by one step. Such a count-up operation of the counter 13 is performed every time a player changes hands at the pachinko game machine 1, and as a result, the numerical signal _S4 indicating the count value of the counter 13 is counted up by the pachinko game machine 1. The number of players will correspond to the total number of players. Therefore, the total number of players playing in the pachinko game machine 1 can be accurately grasped by the memory contents of the memory circuit ₁₄ that sequentially updates and stores the numerical signal S4 of the counter 13. Based on the obtained total number of players, it is possible to know the number of players per unit time at the pachinko game machine 1, and if necessary, by combining it with data on the total operating time of the pachinko game machine 1, etc. It is also possible to know the playing time per customer. In addition, the pulse generation circuit 2 for generating the counting pulse Pa necessary to obtain the above data is a circuit that is originally necessary for obtaining data on the number of out balls of the pachinko game machine 1 and for controlling stopping. Since it is used in this way, it is possible to minimize the complexity of the overall configuration.

In the above embodiment, each function of the calculation means 4, monostable multivibrator 10, trigger circuit 11, inverter 12, counter 13, etc. may be obtained by a computer program.

[Effects of the invention] As is clear from the above explanation, according to the invention, the total number of players at each pachinko game machine can be accurately and easily grasped with a simple configuration, and the pachinko game machine This has the practical effect of being able to accurately create data regarding the number of players at a game.
