Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more specifically, to a gaming machine such as a so-called pachinko machine that plays a game by playing a game ball.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In the past, this type of gaming machine has been provided with various types of accessories such as tulips and attackers due to the diversification of the tastes of the game players. As a result, even for the gaming machine itself, a large number of prizes can be won in a short time by using these various types of accessories, which also increases interest in the game.

There have also been gaming machines that display the entire game ball currently held on the display unit (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 54-130581 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 53-738).

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional gaming machines equipped with the various types of accessories described above, the prize itself can be a large number of prizes in a very short time, but the number of balls to be paid out per unit time is constant with respect to the payout of balls. As a result, if a large number of balls were won in a short time, the balls could not be paid out.

On the other hand, when there are a large number of winnings in a short time, it is difficult for the player to remember the winnings each time, and eventually payouts are made in accordance with the number of winnings. It was a reality that we were playing the game under prediction. However, as a psychological aspect of the player, there is a problem in that if the player falls into a so-called slump, he or she may be concerned that the number of payouts may be small relative to the number of winnings.

Further, in the conventional gaming machine having the above-mentioned display unit, although the total number of balls currently held is displayed, how many times are won when a large number of prizes are won in a short time. However, it is still unknown how many balls were paid out, and there was a problem that it was not possible to eliminate the concern that the number of paid-out balls might be small with respect to the number of winnings.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the problems of the above-described conventional technology, and its purpose is to display only the number of balls corresponding to the number of winnings and to display the number of winnings. When the corresponding balls are paid out sequentially, the display on the display unit is also configured to be sequentially subtracted according to the number of balls, so that the player may not be paid out the balls corresponding to the number of winnings. We are trying to provide a gaming machine that eliminates the concern.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned object, and its contents will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The invention according to claim 1 is based on a prize detection device (5) for detecting a prize in the prize hole (4), a payout device (6) for paying out a game ball, and a prize signal (7) from the prize detection device (5). Addition and subtraction by the operation signal (8) of the payout device (6), a computing device (9) for computing the number of unpaid gaming balls, a digital table of the number of unpaid gaming balls computed by this computing device (9) The display device (3) shown is provided.

[0009]

[Work]

 Therefore, according to the invention of claim 1, when the winning detection device (5) detects the winning of the winning hole (4), the winning detection device (5) sends the winning signal (7) to the computing device (9). Is output. When the payout device (6) pays out the game balls, the payout device (6) outputs an operation signal (8) to the arithmetic device (9).

Then, the computing device (9) calculates the number of unpaid gaming balls by adding the winning signal (7) from the winning detection device (5) and subtracting it by the operation signal (8) of the payout device (6). To do. The number of unpaid gaming balls calculated by the arithmetic unit (9) is digitally displayed on the display unit (3).

[0011]

【Example】

 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of a gaming machine, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the gaming machine. In FIG. 1, 1 is a game machine main body, 2 is a board surface thereof, and 3 is a display device provided on the board surface. In addition, the board surface 2 is provided with a plurality of winning holes 4.

In FIG. 2, 5 is a winning detection device for detecting the winning of a game ball into the winning hole 4, 6 is a payout device for paying out the game ball, and 9 is a winning signal 7 from the winning detection device 5. Addition and subtraction according to the operation signal 8 of the payout device 6 to calculate the number of unpaid gaming spheres A computing device 3 is a display device for digitally displaying the number of unpaid gaming spheres computed by the computing device 9.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. In this gaming machine, the game is started by a ball hit by the player on the board 2. When a game ball wins a prize hole 4 provided on the board 2 in the middle of the game, the winning detection device 5 detects the win by contacting the game ball or not.

Then, the winning signal 7 from the winning detection device 5 is input to the arithmetic device 9, and the payout game ball number corresponding to the winning is displayed on the display device 3. On the other hand, when the winning signal 7 is input to the arithmetic device 9, the arithmetic device 9 outputs the winning signal 7 to the payout device 6 to operate the payout device 6, and the game ball is paid out, and the operation signal 8 is input to the arithmetic signal 9. The number displayed on the display device 3 is subtracted by the number corresponding to the number of payout game balls.

Therefore, when the number of winning balls is 1 and the number of gaming balls paid out by the winning is 15, the winning signal 7 indicates “15” on the display device 3 and the payout is performed. It is paid out by the device 6 and the number on the display device 3 becomes “0”. However, if the number of winning balls is 5 in an extremely short time, "75" is displayed on the display device 3 by the winning signal 7 of 5 times, and according to the payout by the payout device 6, it is displayed. The display on the apparatus is sequentially subtracted from "75" such as "60", "45", "30", "15", "0". Of course, when four more game balls are won when the display on the display device 3 is "30", the displayed number becomes "90" and the number of balls corresponding to the number is sequentially paid out. Becomes

Since the present invention is thus provided with the display device 3 for displaying the number of unpaid gaming balls, even if there is a time delay in paying out the winning balls, the gaming balls corresponding to the number of winning games. It is possible to confirm that the payout will be paid out, and not only the player can play the game with peace of mind, but also it is possible to prevent troubles between the player and the store as to whether or not the payout corresponding to the winning is made.

In addition, in the case of providing the prize holes 4 and 4a such that there are two kinds of payout game balls for the prizes, that is, 10 and 15 balls, it corresponds to the respective prize holes 4 and 4a. It is enough to output different winning signals 7 and 7a. If formed in this way, game play can be significantly improved. Further, when the payout devices 6 and 6a having different payout numbers are provided, for example, 15 payout devices 6 and 30 payout devices 6a are provided, and the number displayed on the display device 3 exceeds “30”, Is configured to use the payout device 6a for paying out 30 pieces, and the operation signals 8 and 8a corresponding to the number of payouts of the payout devices 6 and 6a are input to the arithmetic device 9, respectively, the time required for payout Can be shortened and the game can be speeded up.

Even in such a case, the number of unpaid gaming balls is displayed on the display device 3, and the numbers are subtracted by the operation signals 8 and 8a according to the payout, so that the number of unpaid gaming balls is paid out. This is convenient because the number of game balls and the number of unpaid game balls can be clearly recognized by the player. In the above description, it goes without saying that the display device 9 can be implemented by various means such as liquid crystal display and 7-segment display.

According to the present invention, no matter which prize hole 4 is won, if the same number of game balls is paid out, even if the number of wins is displayed on the display device 3, Since the number of unpaid gaming balls can be recognized by the product of the number of paying gaming balls, the same effect is achieved.

[0020]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. According to the invention of claim 1, when a large number of prizes are won within a short period of time, the payout operation is performed and the number of unpaid gaming balls is displayed. Even if there is, the number of winnings and the number of game balls to be paid out in the future can be clearly recognized by the player, which is not only convenient, but it is also possible to prevent problems with paying out.

In addition to this, since the number of unpaid gaming balls is digitally displayed on the display device, not only the number of unpaid gaming balls can be displayed to the player in an easy-to-understand manner, but the player can also look at the display device. The number of unpaid gaming balls can be viewed immediately.
