〔Example〕

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, a prize ball discharging device 27 is installed inside a pachinko game machine 20, and the prize balls are introduced into the prize ball discharging device 27 from a distribution gutter through an introduction pipe 28.
The pachinko machine 20 has safe holes 1 to 14 and an out hole 15 arranged at predetermined positions, and the safe holes 1 to 14 and the out hole 15 are provided with safe holes 1 to 14 and an out hole 15 in which pachinko balls pass through these holes. Detection device 54 ₁ that detects and outputs a pachinko ball detection signal
54 ₁₅ (see FIG. 3) are provided, and the output signals of these detection devices 54 ₁ to 54 ₁₅ are input to the controller 21. Pachinko game machine 20
A saucer 22 for storing pachinko balls and a firing handle 23 are provided at the bottom of the machine.By rotating the firing handle 23, a motor 24 is activated to fire the pachinko balls rolling from the tray 22. Play them one by one with the handle 23 and move them to the guide rail 2.
It is designed to type along the lines 5. saucer 22
A shutter 26 is provided in the pachinko ball path between the player and the triggering device including the motor 24, and this shutter 26 is activated to block the pachinko ball path when the game is stopped. A prize ball discharge device 27 is provided on the back side of the pachinko game machine 20, and pachinko balls are supplied to the prize ball discharge device 27 from a distribution gutter (not shown) through an introduction pipe 28. A stopper 72 is provided near the exit of the introduction pipe 28 for closing the exit of the introduction pipe 28 when the pachinko game machine 20 is opened.
The prize ball discharge device 27 is driven via the controller 21 when the detection devices 54 ₁ to 54 ₁₅ output pachinko ball detection signals, and discharges the prize balls to the tray 22 . When the tray 22 is full of pachinko balls, the pachinko balls overflowing from the tray introduction port 71 are guided to the guide gutter 29 and collected in the lower tray 30 through the opening 31. The shutter 72 is closed to prevent pachinko balls from the introduction pipe 28 from spilling outside from the pachinko game machine 20.

The pachinko balls that have passed through the safe holes 1 to 14 and the out hole 15 are collectively discharged to the outside through a discharge pipe 32. A data display section 33 is provided on the front side of the pachinko machine 20.
3 displays data such as incoming balls and outgoing balls from the controller 21 in numbers. Pachinko balls are safe hole 1~
14, the controller 21
Under this control, not only the prize balls are ejected from the prize ball ejecting device 27, but also the electric accessories are driven. At the top of the pachinko machine 20, there is a prize ball display device 34 that also serves as an abnormality display device, and a stop display device 35.
is provided.

Next, the control system of this embodiment will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 3, the controller 21 is a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CU) including input/output ports.
40, a computer consisting of RAM 42 and ROM 43, counters 41 ₁ to 41 ₁₅ , prize ball device drive circuit 44, prize ball counter 38, operation recognition device 46, prize ball comparison circuit 47, difference ball total counter 48 and a difference ball/stop setting number comparison circuit 49,
a confirmation circuit 50 that detects the operation of the pachinko game machine 20 by confirming the presence or absence of pachinko balls in the saucer 22 and the presence or absence of operation of the firing handle 23;
It is constituted by an attached game movement determination device 51.

The counters 41 ₁ to 41 ₁₅ are the detection devices 54 ₁ to 54
The pachinko ball detection signals from ₁₅ are counted and the CPU
40 repeatedly takes in and stores each count value of counters 41 ₁ to 41 ₁₅ in order. The ball detection switch 53 is a switch that detects the presence or absence of pachinko balls in the tray 22, for example, and is attached to the tray 22. The confirmation circuit 50 receives a pachinko ball detection signal from the ball detection switch 53 or inputs the pachinko ball detection signal from the counter 41.
Any one of ₁ to 41 ₁₅ is performing a counting operation. That is, the operation of the pachinko game machine 20 is confirmed by confirming that there are pachinko balls in the tray 22 or that the firing handle is being operated. CPU40 is
Processing of input signals and outputting of output signals are performed using the RAM according to the program in the ROM 43, and the operation confirmation device 46 is activated by a signal from the confirmation circuit 50 when the pachinko game machine 20 is in operation. Further, the CPU 40 determines from the count values of the counters 41 ₁ to 41 ₁₄ that the pachinko ball has entered any of the safe holes 1 to 14, and controls the prize ball device drive circuit 4.
4, the prize ball device driving circuit 44 drives the prize ball ejecting device 27 to eject the prize balls, and at the same time drives the light emitting acoustic display device 34A to display the ejection of the prize balls. 61 is activated to drive the electric accessory 62. The electric accessory 62 is a ticket or an accessory game machine, and the accessory game machine operation determination device 51 determines whether the operation conditions of the accessory game machine are satisfied and sends a signal to the CPU 40 to count the prize ball counter 38. Perform processing such as changing setting values. The CPU 40 sets the set number of prize balls in the prize ball counter 38, and the number of pachinko balls ejected from the prize ball ejecting device 27 is recorded in the prize ball ejected ball counter 63.
A set number of balls are ejected while the counted value is compared with a set value of a prize ball counter 38 in a prize ball comparator circuit 47. When the count value of the prize ball ejected ball counter 63 exceeds the set value of the prize ball counter 38, the output signal of the prize ball comparison circuit 47 activates the abnormality display device 34B and the light emitting/acoustic display device 65, and at the same time the shutter 26 is activated. activates and makes pachinko play impossible.

In addition, the CPU 40 takes in the counts of the counters 41 ₁ to 41 ₁₅ and calculates the difference between the number of balls put out and the number of balls put in, that is, the number of pachinko balls ejected as prize balls and the number of pachinko balls that the player has placed on the pachinko machine 20. A difference ball counter 48 counts the number of pachinko balls that have been hit,
The counted value is compared with the set number of balls to be stopped by a comparison circuit 49 for the set number of balls to be stopped. When the count value of the difference ball counting counter 48 reaches the set stop number, the output signal of the difference ball/stop set number comparison circuit 49 is output as a stop signal, and the light emitting/acoustic display device 35 is activated, and at the same time, the shutter is activated. 26 is activated, making it impossible to play pachinko. Furthermore, the CPU 40 has counters 41 ₁ to 4
1 to ₁₅ , calculates data such as balls entered and balls put out, and displays these data on the display unit 33. Also, when the pachinko machine 20 is not operating according to a signal from the confirmation circuit 50, The difference ball total counter 48 is cleared.

Further, when the stop cancel switch 69 is turned on, the CPU 40 clears the difference ball total counter 48 in response to a signal from the stop cancel switch 69, and opens the shutter 26. Further, when the stop switch 70 is turned on, the CPU 40 sends a stop signal to the shutter 26 in response to a signal from the stop switch 70.
By outputting the output to close the shutter 26, pachinko games are made impossible.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the pachinko balls from the distribution gutter are directly introduced into the prize ball discharging device through the introduction pipe, so the pachinko balls from the distribution gutter are counted by the bowl counter arranged in a line by the chute. Since it is not necessary to introduce individual pieces into the upper plate, the structure becomes simpler, lighter, and cheaper. Moreover, since the pachinko game machine is individually provided with a controller and the controller controls prize ball ejection, stopping, etc., it is possible to reliably control the pachinko game machine at high speed. It is possible to set the number of prize balls for each safe hole to an arbitrarily different value for each safe hole by the controller, and to eject the set value of prize balls for each safe hole using a single prize ball ejecting device.
