Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is a device for centrally aggregating and managing data such as the income and expenditure of a large number of pachinko game machines, and in particular, a system for managing pachinko games based on the aggregated data. This invention relates to a centralized control device for pachinko halls that can also control the stopping of machines.

[Prior Art] This type of centralized control device for pachinko halls has conventionally calculated the difference between out balls and safe balls for each pachinko game machine, and used the calculation results to set a predetermined stop. The pachinko game machine is configured to be discontinued when a pachinko game machine reaches the value. However, the above-mentioned cancellation function only works correctly when the same player plays consecutive games on the same pachinko game machine and cancels the pachinko game machine, so in reality, the In a pachinko game machine where a player obtains a certain amount of profit pachinko balls and ends the game without canceling the game, if the next player cancels the game, the pachinko ball that the player obtained will be The number of balls may be significantly less than the set stop value. For this reason, in the past, every time a pachinko game machine was discontinued, pachinko hall employees would check the actual number of balls played by that machine, and if this was significantly less, the discontinuation would be canceled and By additionally supplying a certain number of pachinko balls as service balls, troubles with players are avoided.

However, when adding such service balls, in the case of conventional central control devices for pachinko halls, first the key switch for changing the stop setting value is operated, and then the stop setting is set using the numeric key switch for data input. Changing the value and then operating a key switch for confirmation is a cumbersome and relatively time-consuming task, which has been an obstacle in terms of labor saving in pachinko halls. In particular, in recent years, for pachinko game machines that have been stopped, the operation of the pachinko ball launcher is forcibly stopped, so it is desirable to cancel the stoppage as soon as possible when adding service balls.
In this way, the emergence of a device that can quickly cancel the suspension when a service ball is added has been awaited.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and its purpose is to quickly add service balls with a simple operation when a pachinko game machine is stopped; To provide a centralized control device for pachinko halls that can contribute to labor saving in pachinko halls.

[Summary of the invention] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention calculates the difference between out balls and safe balls for each pachinko game machine, and determines whether the pachinko game machine whose calculation result has reached a predetermined stop setting value is In a central control device for a pachinko hall, which is equipped with a stop calculation means for stopping the pachinko game machine when a ball addition occurs, the ball addition switch is provided in one-to-one correspondence with a preset number of balls to be served. In addition, in response to the ON operation of this ball addition switch, the number of service balls corresponding to the ball addition switch is added to the stop setting value by the stop calculation means, or the number of balls served is increased by the number of balls served. A correction means is provided for correcting to reduce the calculation result of the difference between the ball and the safe ball, thereby canceling the stop.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, _{1 1} , 1 ₂ , 1 ₃ , ... are a large number of pachinko game machines, and each pachinko game machine 1 ₁ ,
1 ₂ , 1 ₃ , ... outputs one out ball counting pulse P 1 from the output terminal a every time the number of out balls (number of batted balls) reaches 10, and also outputs one out ball counting pulse P ₁ from the output terminal a. 1 from output terminal b every time the number of balls reaches 10.
It is configured to output a number of safe ball counting pulses _P2 .

Reference numeral 2 denotes a stop calculation means which receives the out ball counting pulse P ₁ and the safe ball counting pulse P ₂ from each pachinko game machine 1 ₁ , 1 ₂ , 1 ₃ , . . . , and this will be described below. It goes without saying that the functions of each circuit element within the termination calculation means 2 may be replaced by a computer program. That is, 3 ₁ , 3 ₂ , 3 ₃ , ... are out ball counters provided in one-to-one correspondence to the pachinko game machines 1 ₁ , 1 ₂ , 1 ₃ , ..., and 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ , 4 ₃ , ...
…are also pachinko game machines 1 ₁ , 1 ₂ , 1 ₃ , …
Safe ball counters are provided in one-to-one correspondence with each other, and these count the out ball counting pulse _P1 and safe ball counting pulse _P2 from the output terminals a and b of the corresponding pachinko game machine, respectively.
_Therefore , the numerical signals _{S a} output from the counters _{3 1} , 3 ₂ , 3 ₃ , . . .

Numerical signals from 3 ₃ ,... and 4 ₁ , 4 ₂ , 4 ₃ ,...
Upon receiving S _a and S _b , the value indicated by the numerical signal S _a (the number of out balls) is subtracted from the numerical value indicated by the numerical signal S _b (the number of safe balls), and the result of this subtraction is applied to each pachinko game machine. output as a numerical signal S _c corresponding to 1/10 of the difference in the number of balls. 6 ₁ , 6 ₂ , 6 ₃ ,...

Although the configuration can be arbitrarily rewritten depending on the business policy of the pachinko hall, the model of the pachinko game machine, etc., in this embodiment, for the sake of explanation, the numerical value "300" corresponding to the stop setting value "3000" is used. Assume that it is memorized. 7 ₁ , 7 ₂ , 7 ₃ , . . . are adder circuits, which are connected to the stop setting value storage unit 6 ₁ ,
Numbers from 6 ₂ , 6 ₃ , ... and transfer gate 8
₁ , 8 ₂ , 8 ₃ , etc. are added to the numerical values described below, and the addition result is set to 1/10 of the stop setting value.
Output as a numerical signal S _d corresponding to . 9 ₁ ,9

Numerical signals S _c from 5 ₂ , 5 ₃ , ... (corresponding to 1/10 of the difference number of balls) and numerical signals S _d from the adding circuits 7 ₁ , 7 ₂ , 7 ₃ , ... (corresponding to the stop setting value) When S _c ≧ S _d (i.e., when the difference in the number of balls of the corresponding pachinko game machine exceeds the stop setting value), a "1" signal is generated. Outputs the stop signal value S _{X. Incidentally ,} when _{the stop signal S}
0 ₃ ,... are lit to notify that the pachinko game machine has been discontinued, and the pachinko ball launcher (not shown) of the corresponding pachinko game machine is forcibly stopped. Further, the stop signal S _X is transmitted to the transfer gates 8 ₁ , 8 ₂ , 8 ₃
..., and the transfer gates 8 ₁ , 8 ₂ , 8 ₃ , ... only allow the signal to pass when the stop signal S _X is received at the gate terminal. .

Now, 11 is a correction means, which will be explained below. In other words, 12 ₁ and 12 ₂ are ball addition switches provided in one-to-one correspondence with the two types of service ball numbers "600" and "800", and when these are turned on, the corresponding monostable Multi vibrator 1
A "1" signal is output from 3 ₁ and 13 ₂ for a short time. Reference numerals 14 ₁ and 14 ₂ are service ball number storage units, in which numerical values corresponding to 1/10 of the service ball number (for example, "60" and "80") are stored in advance.
Reference numerals 15 ₁ and 15 ₂ are transfer gates, and these serve ball number storage units 14 ₁ and 14 ₂ only when they receive a "1" signal from the monostable multivibrators 13 ₁ and 13 ₂ corresponding to each gate terminal, respectively. The numerical signals from the transfer gates are passed through and applied to the respective transfer gates 8 ₁ , 8 ₂ , 8 ₃ , .

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. Now, for example, in the pachinko game machine ₁₁ , when the number of out balls is ``2000'' and the number of safe balls is ``5000'' or more, 200 out ball counting pulses _P1 are output from the output terminal a. At the same time, more than 500 safe ball counting pulses P ₂ are output from the output terminal b, and the counters 3 ₁ and 4 ₁ that have counted these pulses P ₁ and P ₂ each output a numerical signal S _a
(“200”) and a numerical signal S _b (“500”) are output.
Therefore, the subtraction means ₅₁ performs subtraction of (S _b - S _a ) based on the numerical signals S _a and S _b ,
A numerical signal S _c (“300”) corresponding to the subtraction result is output. Then, the comparator circuit ₉₁ outputs the numerical signal S _c
and the numerical signal S _d from the adder circuit 7 ₁ (at this point, the transfer gate 8 ₁ is in a non-conducting state, so this numerical signal S _d corresponds to "300" which is the stored content of the stop setting value storage section 6 ₁ ). and in this case
Since the relationship S _c ≧ S _d holds, the stop signal S _X is output. As a result, the pachinko game machine 1 ₁ is stopped by the stop signal S _X , and the diode 10 ₁ is turned on to notify that the pachinko game machine 1 ₁ has been stopped. Also, at the same time, the transfer gate ₈₁ that received the stop signal S _X begins to allow the signal to pass.
In this state, service ball addition switch 12 ₁ , 12 ₂
In this case, for example, when the service ball addition switch 12 ₁ is turned on, the monostable multivibrator 13 ₁ outputs a "1" signal for a short period of time, and the transfer gate 15 ₁ allows the signal to pass. . Therefore, since the numerical value "60" stored in the service ball number storage unit 14 ₁ is given to the adding circuit 7 ₁ via the transfer gates 15 ₁ and 8 ₁ , the numerical signal from this adding circuit 7 ₁ The value "60" is now added to S _d , and accordingly the comparison input of the comparison circuit ₉₁ becomes S _c <
When the relationship S _d is reached, the output of the stop signal S _X is stopped,
The suspension is then cancelled. After this, the difference number of balls of the pachinko game machine ₁₁ is further increased to "60" corresponding to the memory content of the service ball number storage section _141.
When the number increases by 10 times, it will be discontinued in the same way as described above, and as a result, it was equivalent to 10 times "60".
600 pachinko balls are now given to the player of the pachinko game machine ₁₁ as service balls.
Of course, when the service ball addition switch ₁₂₂ is turned on when the pachinko game machine ₁₁ is stopped, the value "80" stored in the service ball number storage section ₁₄₂ is changed.
is applied to the adder circuit ₇₁ , and 800 service balls are added.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the preset number of service balls is added to the stop setting value.
For example, the number of service balls is subtracted from the calculation results of the subtraction means 5 ₁ , 5 ₂ , 5 ₃ , etc.
Even if the calculation result is corrected using the above method, the same function can be achieved.

[Effect of the invention] According to the invention, as is clear from the above explanation, the difference between out balls and safe balls for each pachinko game machine is calculated, and the calculation result is adjusted to a predetermined stop setting value. In a centralized control device for a pachinko hall, which is equipped with a stop calculation means for stopping a pachinko game machine when a pachinko game machine reaches the limit, the ball addition switch is used to add service balls at the time of the stop. This can be done quickly with a simple operation of just turning it on, and can have an excellent effect of contributing to labor saving in pachinko halls.
