Therefore, it has conventionally been known to provide rental machines for each adjacent pachinko game machine to eliminate this problem. However, when this type of pachinko ball lending system is adopted, game parlors have no choice but to collect coins from a large number of lending machines, which is cumbersome and has the disadvantage that coins are easily lost during collection. . As described above, the conventional lending system has not been able to simultaneously satisfy the convenience of players and game parlors.

Furthermore, in conventional lending machines, pachinko balls are lent out by inserting coins, etc., so players have to prepare coins, etc. On the other hand, on the gaming parlor side, for the convenience of players, It was necessary to install a currency exchange machine. In addition, since the pachinko balls are carried around, they tend to get dirty easily.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention It is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko gaming facility that can simultaneously eliminate the above-mentioned problems such as the complexity of pachinko ball rental for players and gaming parlors.

Means for Solving the Problems A plurality of pachinko gaming machines, one or more card vending machines that operate in response to input of money and dispense cards with information corresponding to the number of pachinko balls lent, and the pachinko gaming machine A machine disposed near each machine reads information corresponding to the number of rental pachinko balls written on the card, and if the balls can be rented, pays out the pachinko balls and writes the balance of the number of pachinko balls on the card. In a pachinko gaming facility equipped with a pachinko ball rental machine for writing information and a pachinko ball counter, the pachinko ball rental machine has a mark detection means for detecting marks placed on the inserted card surface by color. , a payout means that is activated by the detection output of the mark detection means and dispenses a fixed amount of pachinko balls; a mark erasing means that is activated by the detection output of the mark detection means and erases the mark on the card surface; and a card. and a card conveyance means for conveying the
The card has a square shape, and the marks are arranged at fixed positions on at least two sides of the square, and the mark detection means is arranged so as to correspond to the position of the mark on the card at the insertion completion position. The above-mentioned problems are solved by a configuration characterized in that a mark erasing means is provided.

Function When a player inserts money into the card vending machine, a card with the number of pachinko balls to be rented written on it is dispensed. When a player inserts a newly purchased card or an already purchased card into a pachinko ball rental machine, the balance of the number of pachinko balls to be rented written on the card is read, and if it is possible to rent pachinko balls, the pachinko balls are paid out. A new balance will be written at the same time.

In addition, the winning passage 95 and the out ball passage 96 are provided with detection means S11 and S12, which are star wheel-shaped rotating bodies for detecting flowing pachinko balls. Further, a display device 93 is provided on the board of the pachinko game machine 1, and the display device 93 displays the remaining number of pachinko balls as described later. Further, 94 is a locking means, and when the locking means 94 becomes inactive, it blocks the pachinko balls fired from the firing device 98 so that they do not come out onto the board.

In addition, SW indicates a settlement switch, and L indicates a lamp, which is activated along with a bell (not shown) when a pachinko ball wins.

The card processing/control device 2' is shown in FIG. In the same figure, four feed rollers 5 are facing a card conveyance path 51' defined by a guide rail 51.
2 are arranged at intervals, and a guide roller 52' forming a pair with each roller 52 is arranged opposite thereto. Further, magnetic heads 53 to 53'' for erasing, writing, and reading facing the middle part of the path energize the memory device 57 via the conventionally known write/read circuit 54 and input/output circuit 55, and the CPU 56 It is connected to the.

M' is a motor for driving the feed roller 52, which is controlled by a motor drive circuit 58 connected to the CPU 56 via an input/output circuit 55, and drives the feed roller 52 in forward and reverse directions.
Further, S'1 to S'3 are micro switches for detecting the transport position of the magnetic card 8.
S'1 and S'2 are arranged at the end of the passage 1' on the side of the card insertion slot 51'a, spaced apart and facing each other in the direction crossing this, and further aligned with the feed roller 52 on the side of the insertion slot 51', The switches S'3 are arranged at the opposite ends of the passages 51' and are connected to the CPUs 56 via input/output circuits 55, respectively.

On the other hand, a display device 21, a locking means 22, a firing device 23, a lamp, and a bell driving means 24 are connected to the input/output circuit 55, and are controlled by a CPU 56.

FIG. 9 shows the operational processing flow of the pachinko game machine 1' and the card processing/control device 2' configured as described above. First, the magnetic card 8' is inserted into the card insertion slot 51'a in the correct insertion direction, and the front edge of the magnetic card 8' is inserted into the card insertion slot 51'a as shown in FIG.
When the card is inserted into the card insertion position that engages with
S′2 remains in the off state, and this state
When the CPU 56 detects (steps 101 and 102),
The CPU 56 rotates the motor M' in the forward direction, and the feed roller 52
forward rotation to convey card 8' (step
103). During this time, the reading magnetic head 53'' operates to store the identification code written in advance on the magnetic card 8' in the register R'1 and the number of pachinko balls that can be rented out in the counter C (step 104). , when the card 8' reaches the reading end writing start position which turns on the micro switch S'3 at its front edge, the CPU 56 stops the motor M'.
Based on the identification code and amount or number of pachinko balls stored in the register R'1 and counter C, it is determined whether the card is correct or not, and whether the amount Y or the number of pachinko balls at which pachinko balls can be lent is greater than or equal to the amount Y or the number of pachinko balls (step 105). ~108). If a genuine card is inserted correctly and the card can be lent, the power is turned on to the firing device 23 to enable the firing of the pachinko balls P, and the locking means 22 is activated to release the lock, thereby releasing the pachinko balls P. can be thrown onto the board of pachinko machine 1 (step
109). Further, the contents of the counter C, ie, the number of pachinko balls that can be rented out, are displayed on the display device 21 (step 110). Then, the CPU 56 checks whether the settlement switch SW is pressed (step 111), whether the out ball detection means S12 detects an out ball (step 112), and the winning ball detection means S11 detects a winning ball. If the settlement switch SW is not ON and there is no detection signal from the out ball or winning ball detection means S12, S11, the CPU 56 performs the above step 110.
Processing 111, 112, and 115 repeatedly. Therefore,
The player operates the handle of the firing device 23 to fire the pachinko balls P to start the game, and the pachinko balls P do not win and fall into the out port 92, pass through the out ball passage 96, and are returned to the ball tray 97. Then, the out ball detection means S12 detects an out ball, and the CPU 5
6 receives this detection signal (step 112), subtracts "1" from counter C (step 113), and then
If the value of counter C is not “0”, step again.
Returning to step 110, the new value of the counter C, that is, the number of items that can be lent out, is displayed, and the processing from step 111 onwards is performed. Furthermore, when a pachinko ball P wins, it is returned to the ball tray 97 through the winning passage 95, but during this time it is detected by the winning ball detection means, and when the detection signal is input (step
115), the CPU 56 adds the number of paid pachinko balls a corresponding to the winning to the counter value, and operates the lamp bell driving means 24 to blink the lamp L or ring the bell to notify the winning (step 116). To explain using a conventional example, if 15 pachinko balls P are to be paid out when a player wins a prize, 14 balls should be added since 1 was used to win a prize. Then, the process returns to step 110 and subsequent steps. In this way, in the present invention, the pachinko balls circulate between the board of the pachinko game machine 1' and the ball tray 97, and when they win, a certain number a is added to the counter C, and when the ball is out, "1" is subtracted from the counter C. , the value of the counter C is displayed on the display device 21, and the player can know from the value displayed on the display device 21 whether he is winning or losing in the pachinko game. Then, when the content of counter C reaches "0" (step
114), or when the payment switch SW is pressed (step 111), the CPU 56 stops driving the firing device 23 and deactivates the locking means 22 to prevent pachinko balls from being thrown onto the board (step 111).
117).

Next, the CPU 56 drives the motor M' in the reverse direction to convey the card 8 to the insertion slot 51'a side, and operates the erasing head 53 and the writing head 53' to erase the pachinko balls stored in the counter C. The number of pachinko balls that can be rented is written on the card 8, and the reading head 53'' is operated to read the number of pachinko balls that can be rented out (step 118).
~120). Then, if the read number of pachinko balls that can be rented matches the content stored in counter C, that is, the new number of pachinko balls that can be rented out has been correctly written, the stored contents of register R'1 and counter C are cleared. do. along with the motor
M' continues to be driven in reverse, and when switch S'1 turns on and then turns off, that is, when card 8 reaches the original card insertion position, the motor
M' is stopped (steps 121 to 125), and the machine enters a standby state for the next pachinko ball lending operation.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 121 that the correct amount has not been written on the card 8', the CPU 5
6 rotates motor M′, which is currently in reverse rotation, in the forward direction and switches it on.
After transporting the card 8' to the side opposite to the insertion slot to the above-mentioned read end/write start position where S'3 is turned on,
The motor M' is stopped (steps 126 to 128), and steps 118 and subsequent steps are executed again to write the remaining number of pachinko balls stored in the counter C to the card 8'. If the insertion direction of the magnetic card 8' is not correct when inserting the card (steps 101 and 102), the motor M' is reversed until the micro switch S'1 is turned off, and then stopped and the card 8' is inserted. It is returned and enters a standby state (steps 129 to 131). Further, if the card 8' is an invalid card or the number of cards is "0" (steps 107, 108), the motor M is reversed (step 132), and then the above-mentioned steps 122 to 125 are executed.
is executed to return the card 8' and enter the standby state.

As described above, in the gaming system of this embodiment, in the gaming equipment according to the first implementation, the color mark on the card 8 is painted over when pachinko balls are paid out, and the remaining number of payouts cannot be visually confirmed. ,
Therefore, even if this remaining number is exchanged for a prize, a card reader is generally not required.

In the second embodiment, at the end of the game, the card on which the final loan balance, which has increased or decreased compared to the time the game started, is returned according to the progress of the game. Therefore, unlike the conventional system and the first embodiment described above, the pachinko balls paid out into the ball tray of the pachinko game machine are not carried to the counter and exchanged for prizes when leaving the game parlor. After the game is over, the player can either take the card 8' home without exchanging it for a prize in preparation for the next game, or go to the counter and display the remaining number of pachinko balls on the counter, thereby allowing him to exchange it for a prize. do. Although not shown, the card reader is preferably disposed on the counter and is composed of elements related to the reading function of the card vending machine 3 described above. That is, while removing the coin engine 11, bill validator 12, and selection device 14 from the components of the card vending machine shown in FIG.
The card stocker 30 and feed roller 34 of the card dispensing device 13 are removed, and a read circuit is used in place of the write/read circuit 38. Furthermore, in order to display the balance read by this reading circuit, a conventionally known counter type display device (not shown) is connected to the CPU 56 via the input/output circuit 55. The operation of the card reader configured in this way is clear from the above explanation regarding the card vending machine 3, so the explanation will be omitted.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a card on which the number of pachinko balls to be rented is written is dispensed from a card vending machine that responds to the insertion of money, and the number of rented pachinko balls written on the card is read. Pay out the pachinko balls,
In addition, we installed a pachinko ball lending machine near each pachinko machine that records the balance of the number of rentals, so players can purchase a new card when they visit the store, or use an already purchased card and play pachinko as long as there is a balance on the card. You can immediately start or continue playing pachinko after borrowing balls from the machine, and there is no need to prepare coins and leave your seat each time you borrow pachinko balls. Once money is collected, money management becomes easier and the loss of coins during collection can be greatly reduced. The pachinko ball launcher is activated when balls can be rented from the ball rental machine installed inside each pachinko machine, and the balance of the number of rental pachinko balls, which increases or decreases according to the progress of the game, is written on the card at the end of the game. Furthermore, when the card is returned to the game parlor, the final balance is read using a card reader, so players can use the card to play pachinko, and when they want to exchange it for products, they can use the card to exchange the money. It is very convenient because there is no need to carry pachinko balls with you and you can use any card-type pachinko game machine at any time as long as there is a loanable balance in the card. Furthermore, since the pachinko balls only circulate within the gaming machine and do not come into contact with the hands of players, the players' hands and the pachinko balls are less likely to get dirty.

The card used here is square in shape, and the marks are placed at fixed positions on each side of the square, so the structure is simple and the marks are easy to produce. You can add up to 4 marks, and if you also use the back side, you can add up to 8 marks. Further, since no mark is located in the center of the card, this area can be used as an area for providing a magnetic code for determining the authenticity of the card.

Furthermore, since the mark on the square card at the insertion completion position will always be in the same position no matter which side the mark is placed on, means for detecting and erasing this mark (mark detection means,
The mark (mark erasing means) and the mark always face each other, and therefore the mark can be detected and erased extremely easily. That is, there is no need for the detection/erasing means to move or scan over a wide range when detecting/erasing marks.
