Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine, and is capable of sending important information directly related to the management state of a game shop, such as the number of jackpots of electric power accessories, to a centralized management device of the game shop. The present invention relates to a centralized control device for a new pachinko game store.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, in recent pachinko game stores, terminal devices such as pachinko game machines and ball lending machines are connected to a computer system via a transmission line. Information such as the number of balls, the number of balls to be supplied, the number of balls to be out, etc. is collected, so-called centralized management of so-called all-store system such as supply instruction and stop instruction to each terminal, and business totalization processing are performed. Then, the amusement store decides a business policy such as nail adjustment based on the information thus aggregated.

[0003]

By the way, in recent years, many pachinko game machines, such as electric ones, have been incorporated into pachinko game machines in order to improve the service to the players. A pachinko machine equipped with this type of accessory has a large change in the winning rate per unit time depending on whether the accessory is in a so-called big hit state or in a state other than a big hit, and it is extremely highly emissive. Because,
Although it is true that it has gained the support of a large number of players, as a game store, on the other hand, it is a business policy by adjusting nails etc. only by calculating the profit and loss obtained from the number of winning balls, the number of out balls, the number of replenishing balls, etc. It is also true that the decision of is becoming difficult for the following reasons.

In other words, this kind of gaming machine with an accessory is controlled so that a so-called big hit occurs with a certain probability, but this probability is considered in a long-term cycle such as monthly or yearly. It has a large deviation when it is considered in a short cycle such as within the business hours of one day. However, in the conventional system that aggregates only information related to profit and loss calculation, it is not possible to grasp the factors involved in changes in the gaming state, such as the occurrence of jackpots, so it is assumed that the jackpot occurrence probability is uniquely determined. We have no choice but to set the business policy based on the original or rely on the intuition of the coordinator.

Therefore, for example, even when considering the nail adjustment of the stopping table as an example, the nail adjustment is performed when the hitting occurs due to the occurrence of the big hit and when the hitting occurs regardless of the occurrence of the big hit. Even though the method is completely different, this distinction cannot be made at all by the conventional aggregation of profit and loss calculation only, so it was said that jackpots were generated too much for the base that was stopped regardless of the jackpot occurrence. It is fully possible to adjust the nails based on your judgment. Also, considering the case where the stoppage occurs due to an illegal means such as artificially opening the variable winning device with a piano wire or the like, not only the conventional system cannot detect the illegal means but the nail is open. It may be possible to tighten the nail further based on this judgment.

Performs control such as replenishment and stoppage of replenishment for the platform, and each pachinko game machine P1
Although the specific information about Pn differs depending on the type of the character, information related to the state of the character is transmitted through the transmission line 200.
To the control system 100 via. The information thus transmitted to the control system 100 is first added to the transmission control device 110, and the transmission control device 110 accumulates this information for each type of information and each identification code of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn. 160a, b, c, d are accumulated and stored.

The CPU 130, which controls the entire control system 100, reads a program written in the ROM 140 in advance or R when initializing the system.
According to the program loaded into the AM 150, the information accumulated and stored in the accumulation memories 160a, b, c, d is read through the transmission control device 110, and the I / O port 3
Display on the CRT display 311 via 10,
Print out from the printer 321 via the I / O port 320. Based on the information obtained in this way, the operator grasps what kind of state the accessory of each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn is, and uses it as a material for finding a misconduct or for nail adjustment on the next day.

As described above, each pachinko gaming machine P1 to Pn
The specific contents of the information transmitted by each pachinko gaming machine P1
~ Naturally, it depends on the composition of the accessory that Pn has.
FIG. 2 shows an example of a pachinko game machine with an electric accessory. That is, FIG. 2 is a game board surface 4 of a pachinko game machine with an electric accessory.
00 is an example of the game machine shown in FIG. It is of the type.

As shown in the figure, a game device 41 in which 7-segment LEDs are arranged in three digits in the approximate center of the game board surface 400
0 is arranged, and the opening mode of the variable winning device described later is controlled in correspondence with the display mode of the game device 410, whereby the profit state of the player greatly changes. In this embodiment, the information indicating the factors involved in the fluctuation of the profit state of the player is transmitted to the control system 100 via the transmission line 200.

That is, on the game board surface 400 of the present embodiment, in addition to the normal winning ball devices 401, 402, 403 that promise only the refund of the prize balls to the winning balls and the out holes for collecting the out balls, the game. Special ball winning areas 420a, 420b, 420c are provided as a starting point, and when a pachinko ball wins in these special ball winning areas 420a, 420b, 420c, the game device 410 operates and its display mode continuously changes. To do. Then, when the game player presses the stop switch 430 provided on the front surface of the game machine, or when the game player does not press the stop switch 430 even after a predetermined time elapses after the game device 410 is operated, the game device 4
10 stops its operation, and the game device 410 at that time
The opening mode of the variable winning device 440 is controlled according to the display mode. Specifically, when the display mode of the game device 410 is [7.7.7] and the game is over, the variable winning a prize device 440 is opened for 30 seconds, and when the game is over in other display modes, the variable prize is over. Device 440 opens for 0.6 seconds.

Further, in the present embodiment, the central variable winning area 44
0a is defined as a special ball winning area, and if the variable winning apparatus 440a (special ball winning area) is won while the variable winning apparatus 440 is opened for 30 seconds as described above, the opening for 30 seconds will be performed. After completion, the variable winning device 44
0 continues for 30 seconds. Although a so-called tulip type is shown as an example of the variable winning device 440 in FIG. 2, other variable winning devices have an extremely low probability of winning inside when closed, or do not win at all, and when opening. The present invention can be applied as long as the winning probability is improved.

A control system for controlling the operation of such a pachinko gaming machine is shown in FIG. 3. The operation will be described in detail with reference to the drawing. The specific ball winning area 420a When a pachinko ball is won in any of the 420b and 420c, it is constituted by, for example, a photoelectric sensor, a micro switch, or the like, and the specific ball winning area 420a or 42a.
Specific sphere detector 421a provided in 0b 420c
421b and 421c generate a specific sphere detection signal, and this specific sphere detection signal is added to the game device starting means 422.

The game device starting means 422 is for adding a start signal and a stop signal to the random number generator 423. The game device starting means 422 has a built-in counter capable of continuously counting the specific sphere detection signal up to a maximum of four shots. Unless the counter overflows, a random number is generated each time the specific sphere detection signal is added. Part 423
Add a start signal to.

When the start signal is applied in this way,
The random number generator 423 generates three series of random numbers from 0 to 9 by software, and the random numbers are added to the decoders / drivers 424a, 424b, 424c for each series. And decoders / drivers 424a, 424b, 4
24c respectively decodes the random numbers and drives the corresponding LED display portions 411a, 411b, 411c of the game device 410. Accordingly, the display mode of the game device 410 continuously changes at the same time that the game device activation means 422 which has received the specific ball detection signal applies the activation signal to the random number generator 423, and the slot game is started.

When the player presses the stop switch 430 at an arbitrary timing after the slot game is started in this way, a stop signal is output from the stop switch 430, and this stop signal is generated through the OR gate 432 and a random number is generated. Part 423. When the random number generator 423 receives this stop signal, it stops generating random numbers.
LED display portions 411a and 411b of the game device 410
The display content of 411c is fixed at that time, and the slot game ends. Further, the game device starting means 422 also has a timer function, and even if the player forgets to press the stop switch 430, a stop signal is generated when, for example, 4 seconds have elapsed after the start signal was output to the random number generating means 423, This stop signal is sent to the random number generator 423 via the OR gate 432.
Added to. Therefore, even if the player forgets to press the stop switch 430, the slot game automatically ends 4 seconds after the start of the slot game. When the slot game ends in this way, the random number generator 42
From 3 the game end signal indicating the end of the game is applied to the AND logic 425 and the variable winning device control means 441.

First, the AND logic 425 receives numerical information equivalent to the random number applied to the decoder / driver 424 from the random number generator 423. When the AND logic 425 receives the game end signal, the random number is generated at that time. The logic determination of the three series of random numbers output by the unit 423 is performed. When all the random numbers indicate [7], the output is set to positive logic, and when the three series of random numbers are combinations other than the above, the Output negative logic. Then, for example, the game device 410, the AND logic 425, etc. function as a specific game state detecting means.

On the other hand, the variable winning device control means 441 checks the output logic of the AND logic 425 when it receives the game end signal, and the 0.6 second timer 44 if the output logic is negative.
2 is triggered, and if the output logic of the AND logic 425 is positive, the 30 second timer 443 is triggered.

First, when a trigger is applied to the 0.6-second timer 442, the 0.6-second timer 442 oscillates for 0.6 seconds, and the start signal as its output becomes positive. Then, this activation signal is amplified by the driver 445 via the OR gate 444, and the variable winning apparatus 440a, 440b, 440c.
For driving solenoids 446a, 446b, 44
6c is excited during that time, and variable prize winning devices 440a and 440
b · 440c opens for 0.6 seconds. Then, the falling edge of the start signal output by the 0.6 second timer is applied to the game device starting means 422 via the OR gate 447, and the counter in the game device starting means 422 is subtracted. Therefore, if the counter in the game device starting means 422 is adjusted so as to overflow at, for example, 4 counts, the specific ball detection signal can be continuously received up to four times, but a specific ball detection signal beyond that can be received by the slot game. 1
Unless you finish the game and the game result appears, you will not accept it.

On the other hand, when a trigger is applied to the 30-second timer 443, the 30-second timer 443 oscillates for 30 seconds, and the start signal as its output becomes positive. Then, the activation signal is amplified by the driver 445 via the OR gate 444, and the solenoids 446a, 446b, 446c for driving the variable prize winning devices 440a, 440b, 440c are excited during that time, and the variable prize winning devices 440a, 440b.4.
40c opens for 30 seconds. The output of the 30-second timer 443 is applied to one control input terminal of the AND gate 451. Therefore, when the variable winning device 440 is open for 30 seconds, the logic of one control input terminal of the AND gate 451 is It is positive. Further, the overflow output of the number setting means 452 is added to the other control input terminal of the AND gate 451. However, since the overflow output of the number setting means 452 is at the H level in the initial state, the special ball winning is performed in this state. When a pachinko ball wins the variable winning device 440a defined as a region, the special ball detector 45
The special sphere detection signal generated by No. 3 is added to the maximum profit giving means 454 via the AND gate 451. Then, for example, the AND gate 451, the special sphere detector 453, etc. function as the continuation condition detecting means.

The maximum profit giving means 454 opens the variable winning device 440 again for 30 seconds when certain conditions are satisfied, and gives an extremely large profit to the player. Specifically, the maximum profit giving means 454 is logically configured to start its operation when a special sphere detection signal is applied through the AND gate 451. Then, after the output is completed, the trigger is applied to the 30-second timer 443 only once via the OR gate 448. Therefore, when the variable winning device 440a is opened for 30 seconds, if the variable winning device 440a wins, the variable winning device 440 again wins 3 times.
It will be opened for 0 seconds. Then, since the AND gate 451 is opened when the variable winning device 440 is opened for 30 seconds, the variable winning device 4 is opened as it is for 30 seconds.
As long as the player wins the prize within 40a, the variable winning device 440 repeats opening for 30 seconds without any limit.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of times setting means 452 is set.
The falling edge of the output of the 30-second timer 443 is counted by a counter incorporated in the counter, and when this counter counts a set number, for example, 10, the overflow output of the number setting means 452 falls to L level. As a result, since the AND gate 451 is closed, the special sphere detection signal generated thereafter is the maximum profit giving means 45.
Therefore, the variable winning device 440 becomes 10
When the opening for the 30th time is completed, the maximum profit giving means 454 generates a reset signal instead of outputting a start signal to the 30-second timer 443, and this reset signal resets the number-of-times setting means 452 via the OR gate 447. At the same time, the counter built in the game device starting means 422 is subtracted. Even if the variable winning device 440 does not win the variable winning device 440a during the opening for 30 seconds, the special profit detection signal is not added to the maximum profit giving means 454, so that the variable winning device 440 is opened for 30 seconds. After the end, the device is initialized. And, for example, an OR gate 448,
The 30-second timer 443 or the like functions as a repetitive drive control means.

By the way, the variable winning device 440 is constructed so that the internal winning efficiency is remarkably improved by opening it as described above. It has a significant relationship with the profits of the game and also has a significant relationship with the management status of the amusement store. Therefore, in order to provide fair and appropriate service to the game customers, and in order for the amusement store to carry out sound management, it is desirable to accurately grasp the information relating to the variation of the mode of the variation winning device 440. .

For example, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine shown in FIG. 2, the factors involved in the variation of the mode of the variation winning device 440 are (a). The number of times the display of the game device 410 is in the so-called jackpot display mode [7,7,7] within a unit time, (b). The number of times a slot game was played in a unit time, (c). The number of balls that have won the specific ball winning area 420 within a unit time,
(D). The number of times the variable winning device has repeatedly opened for 30 seconds due to the influence of the special ball detection signal within the unit time,
Etc. can be considered.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the variable winning device 440
In order for the control system 100 to recognize the information related to the variation of the above mode, the signals at each point shown in FIG. 3 are transmitted to the control system 100, and the signals transmitted on the control system 100 side are integrated and stored. Specifically, (a). In order to grasp the number of times the display of the game device 410 has changed to the jackpot display mode within a unit time, the variable winning device 44
1 transmits the trigger added to the 30-second timer 443,
(B). In order to grasp the number of times the slot game has been played within the unit time, the game device activation means 422 transmits an activation signal added to the random number generation means 423, (c).
In a unit time, a specific ball detection signal is transmitted to grasp the number of balls that have won the specific ball winning area 420,
(D). Due to the influence of the special ball detection signal within the unit time, the maximum profit giving means 454 transmits an activation signal added to the 30-second timer 443 in order to grasp the number of times the variable winning device has repeatedly opened for 30 seconds.

The terminal point ABCD in FIG. 3 shows the outlets and outlets of these signals, and a concrete transmission system and a configuration example of the transmission system are shown in detail in FIG. Figure 4
The outline of the transmission method shown in FIG. 2 is as follows: A point, B point, C point in the pachinko gaming machine Pi (i is a natural number from 0 to n) scanned by the decoder 111 on the transmission control device 110 side.
The transmission line 20 in which the signal generated at point D corresponds to each signal
The accumulation memories 160a, 160b, 16 corresponding to the respective information are latched by the latch circuit 112 on the side of the transmission control device 110 via 2a, 202b, 202c, 202d.
0c and 160d are accumulated and stored. In the illustrated embodiment, the address designated by the decoder 111 and the address of each integration memory 160a, 160b, 160c, 160d are matched with each other in terms of hardware. Therefore, in the present embodiment, information is collected very quickly.

Next, the detailed configuration of the transmission system shown in FIG. 4 will be described together with its operation. The basic clock oscillated by the oscillator 113 which determines the basic operation speed of the transmission system takes a count value from 0 to 7. Ring counter 114
The count value of the ring counter 114 which is added to the clock input terminal of the ring counter 114 and added in synchronization with the basic clock is added to the decoder 115 for controlling the timing, and the decoder 115 decodes the count value of the ring counter 114. Various control signals from 0 to 7 are generated. Then, one transmission cycle is completed while one cycle of various control signals 0 to 7 generated by the decoder 115 is completed.
Further, the most significant digit of the ring counter 114 is added to the clock input terminal of the ring counter 116, and the count value of the ring counter 116 is used for addressing the pachinko gaming machine as the terminal and of the accumulating memories 160a, b, c. Used for addressing.

That is, the count value of the ring counter 116 is added to the decoder 111 for designating the address of the terminal device, and the decoder 111 decodes this and designates the first to nth terminal devices. Then, while the count value of the ring counter 116 is incremented by 1, the ring counter 11
Since the count value of 4 cycles once, the data transmission cycle with the pachinko gaming machine ends while the decoder 111 designates a pachinko gaming machine.

For example, suppose that the display mode of the game device 410 has become [7,7,7] (that is, a big hit) as a result of a slot game being played in the first series. When the display mode of the game device 410 becomes [7,7,7], the variable winning device control means 441 applies a trigger to the 30-second timer 443 via the OR gate 448, and this trigger is derived to point A. (See FIG. 3) Then, referring to FIG. 4, the driver circuit D is driven by the trigger derived at the point A.
A drive current flows through a, and the relay 211a in the switchboard 210
Closes.

On the other hand, at a certain timing, the ring counter 1
When the count value of 14 becomes 1, the decoder 111 designates the first group by turning on the output No. 1 and turning on the sweep driver DR1. When the sweep driver DR1 is turned on in this way, from the power supply V to the photocoupler Pa, the transmission line 202a, the relay 211a, and the terminal designation line 201.
A current flows through the path, and the phototransistor forming the photocoupler Pa is turned on.

Further, the latch circuit 112 has four storage locations from La to Ld, and the storage locations are each A in FIG.
The latch circuit 112 is assigned to the signals of the point, the B point, the C point, and the D point.
The input signal is latched at the timing when the load signal, which is the second output, is added. Therefore, when the phototransistor forming the photocoupler Pa is turned on as described above, the memory location La of the latch circuit 112 stores the occurrence of the jackpot at the timing when the decoder 115 raises the load signal, and its output is It is added to the memory control means 161 in the accumulation memory 160a.

In addition to the output of the latch circuit 112, load / count / write control signals are applied to the memory control means 161 from the decoder 115, and memory addresses are applied from the address bus AD. When the load signal is applied from the decoder 115, the memory control means 161 applies the preset enable signal PE to the preset counter 162, and the preset counter 162 presets the numerical value derived on the output line of the memory 163. The decoder 115 is the 0th
Since the buffer gate 117 is activated when the 1st, 2nd, and 7th outputs are raised, the memory control means 161 causes the memory control means 161 to transmit the count value of the ring counter 116 (that is, The first address is added, and the memory control means 161 gives this address to the memory 163 as it is. Therefore, at this time, the stored contents of the addresses assigned to the first series of the memory 163 are derived from the output line of the memory 163. Since the stored contents of the addresses assigned to the first series of the memory 163 indicate the integrated value of the number of jackpots that have occurred in the first series up to the immediately preceding operation cycle, the preset counter 162 shows the previous operation. By the cycle, the integrated value of the number of jackpots generated in the first group is preset.

Subsequently, when the decoder 115 raises the count signal, this count signal is applied to the memory control means 16
1 and the memory control means 161 stores the occurrence of a big hit in the memory area La of the latch circuit 112 when the count signal is applied.
The count-up clock ck is output to 62. Therefore, in the present operation example, the count-up clock ck is added to the preset counter 162, so that the preset counter 162 has the first counter by the immediately preceding operation cycle.
The cumulative value of the number of jackpots generated in the number series will be incremented by 1.

Next, when the decoder 115 raises the write signal, this write signal is applied to the memory control means 161, and when the memory control means 161 is applied with this write signal, the write control signal W for the memory 163 is written. Add. As a result, the memory 163 outputs the value derived to the output line of the preset counter 162 (that is, the integrated value of the number of jackpots generated in the 1st group up to the immediately preceding operation cycle to the jackpot generated in the 1st group in the current operation cycle). Value) is stored. By executing the same operation as above every time the output signal of the decoder 111 specifies each pachinko gaming machine P1 to Pn, the number of jackpots accumulated in each pachinko gaming machine P1 to Pn is stored in the memory 160a. 163. Further, the accumulation memories 160b, c, d are also configured similarly to the accumulation memory 160a, and the relays 211b, c
Since d is also configured in the same manner as the relay 211a, by performing the same operation as described above, the integrated value of the number of times of slot games within a unit time is added to the integrated memory 160b.
In addition, the integrated value of the number of winnings in the specific ball winning area within the unit time is stored in the integrating memory 160c, and the integrated value of the number of times the variable winning device repeats opening for 30 seconds due to winning in the special ball winning area in the unit time. Is the accumulation memory 160d
Are stored in each.

In this way, each integration memory 160a / b
・ The integrated value of the necessary information is stored in c and d, while the CPU
Reference numeral 130 denotes each integration memory 160a.b.b at the timing when the decoder 115 permits the occupation of the address bus AD.
The information stored in cd is read.

That is, when the 3rd to 6th outputs of the decoder 115 are at the H level, the buffer gate 117 is deactivated,
The buffer gate 118 is activated. Therefore, the CPU
130 is a latch circuit 119 for the base address of the pachinko gaming machine that is going to collect data via the system bus SB.
If the address is written in, the address is sent to the address bus AD at the timing when the buffer gate 118 is activated, and this base address is given to the memory 163 via the memory control means 161. Then, the information of the specified pachinko gaming machine is read from the addressed address of the memory 163 and sent to the system bus SB via the output buffer 164.

In addition, when collecting the cumulative number of jackpots generated in each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn, from the cumulative memory 160a, when collecting the cumulative value of the number of times of slot games in a unit time, from the cumulative memory 160b, When collecting the integrated value of the number of winnings in the specific ball winning area in the unit time, the variable winning device is 3 from the integrating memory 160c by winning in the special ball winning area in the unit time.
Needless to say, when collecting the integrated value of the number of times the opening is repeated for 0 seconds, the data is collected from the integrating memory 160d. Further, the OR gate OR2 is for preventing the transmission system from inadvertently operating when the CPU 130 occupies the address bus AD.
The decoder 111 is activated when the output of R2 is at the H level (that is, when the decoder 115 is not outputting the load count write control signals).

The information collected in this way is sent to the CPU 13
0 is output processing (for example, C via the I / O port 310).
Displayed on RT311. Print out from the printer 321 via the I / O port 320. (Stored in the magnetic disk 331 via the I / O port 330).

FIG. 5 shows the CRT 3 thus displayed.
11 is an example of a display screen of 11, showing the number of profit balls, the number of lost balls, and the number of differences for each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn, as well as the number of large hits, the number of games, the number of specific ball prizes, and the variation of the prize winning device. The number of times is displayed. The data printed out from the printer 321 and the data stored in the magnetic disk 331 are the same as the data displayed as described above, and thus are not shown in duplicate, but the operator collects them in this way. By analyzing the data, it is possible to accurately determine what kind of game progress each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn is placed in.

For example, if the number of jackpots is low but it is stopped, it can be judged that the obstacle nail for the normal winning hole is open, and the number of specific ball winnings and the large number of winnings. When and hold a certain probability and the number of times of winning the specific ball is high, it can be determined that the obstacle nail for the specific ball winning area is open. Also, if the number of big hits is higher than the average number of games, it may be possible to judge that it is the effect of an uncertain slump factor, and the number of fluctuations in the prize winning device is significantly higher than the number of big hits. In that case, it can be judged that there is some dishonesty.

By using the data collected in this way, instead of performing a calculation process based on the number of winning balls and the number of payout balls as in the conventional case and controlling the hitting, a large number of times (a pachinko game of this type) In the machine, when the jackpot is generated, the number of hits is usually reached, and the hit control may be performed.

In the above, the large number of wins, the number of specific ball winnings,
An example of a transmission system was shown in which the number of games and the number of fluctuations in the prize winning device were collected as data.
A micro switch, a photoelectric sensor, or the like for detecting the occurrence of a winning ball or the occurrence of an out ball is provided at a predetermined position of each pachinko game machine, and a cumulative control memory 160 or a latch circuit 112 corresponding to each sensor is provided as a transmission control system. A storage location, a transmission line 202, etc. may be provided and the same operation as above may be performed. The switches S1 and S2 in FIG. 4 indicate the positions where these sensors are arranged in a circuit manner.
The two open terminals will be connected to a transmission line (not shown). Then, for example, the relay 211a, the latch circuit 112, the integrating memory 160a, etc. function as the specific game state detection output counting means, and the relay 211d, the latch circuit 112, the integrating memory 160d, etc. function as the continuous condition detecting output counting means, respectively.

By the way, it goes without saying that the type of information relating to a predetermined gaming state in which the profit of the player sharply rises changes corresponding to the type of the accessory provided in the pachinko gaming machine. Therefore, an example of a pachinko gaming machine provided with an accessory other than the above is shown in FIG. 6, and in the case of a pachinko gaming machine having such an accessory, what information should be transmitted will be considered below.

FIG. 6 shows a gaming board surface of a pachinko gaming machine having an accessory of a form other than the above. The outline of the structure and operation of the pachinko gaming machine shown in FIG. If the pachinko ball that was driven in like an ordinary pachinko gaming machine is collected in the out hole 501, it will be a profit for the amusement store, and one of the winning ball devices 502, 503, 504, and 50.
The back mechanism is configured so that a predetermined number of prize balls can be refunded if the player wins a prize ball device such as 5.506, tulip 508, 509, or any other prize ball device described later. To explain the characteristic point, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine of FIG. 6, when the special winning hole 520 as the special ball winning area is won in the process of playing the game as described above, the variable winning device 530 is, for example, 10. It is controlled to open for 2 seconds.
Since the variable winning device 530 is an extremely large hitting ball winning device, a large number of prize balls will be returned to the player once it is opened, so the variable winning device 53
The high or low of the winning rate for the special winning hole 520, which is a trigger for the opening of 0, has a significant relation to the profit of the player, and the profit of the player is promoted if the player is in a game state in which it is easy to win the special winning hole 520. On the contrary, if the player is in a game state in which it is difficult to win the special winning hole 520, the profit of the player is lowered. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine of FIG. 6, the probability of winning in the special winning hole 520 can be adjusted according to the state of the hitting ball winning device 540 provided in the middle of the flow path through which the launched pachinko ball reaches the special winning hole 520. I am trying.

FIG. 7 shows a special winning hole 520 which serves as a starting point for opening the variable winning device 530, and the special winning hole 5
It is an enlarged view of the relationship of a hitting ball winning device 540 for controlling the winning probability to 20. To be more specific, ball hitting prize 5
40 is a vertically long winning hole 541 is formed in a substantially central portion of a board for attaching itself to a game board surface of a pachinko game machine.
Triangular movable wing pieces 543 are swingably supported on supporting shafts 542 fixed to both sides of the winning hole 541. Further, an obstacle piece 544 is formed integrally with the movable wing piece 543 at the lower end of the outer side edge of the pair of movable wing pieces 543, and a swingback piece 545 is formed at the lower end of the inner side edge of the movable wing piece 543. Are formed integrally with the movable wing piece 543.

Each of the movable wing pieces 543 swings to the left and right around the support shaft 542 by the weight of the pachinko ball, and the hit pachinko balls flow down along the game board surface to the inside of the movable wing pieces 543 on both sides. When it flows in, the movable wing pieces 543 swing outwardly around the support shaft 542 due to the weight of the pachinko ball, and stop when they open and close approximately 60 degrees. Further, when a pachinko ball wins in the movable wing piece 543 while the movable wing piece 543 is open to the left and right in this way, the movable wing piece 543 is closed by the momentum when the pachinko ball collides with the swingback piece 545. To do.

Furthermore, below the ball hitting prize 540,
Obstacle nails 550 are arranged in a funnel shape so as to guide the pachinko balls that have flowed in below the hitting prize device 540 to the special winning hole 520.

When the hitting ball winning device 540 is now closed, most of the pachinko balls that flow down to the side of the hitting ball winning device 540 are repelled by the obstacle piece 544 and the obstacle nails 550 arranged in a funnel shape. Since it flows down to the outside of the special prize hole 520, almost no prize is won in the special prize hole 520.
0 rarely opens. On the other hand, when the hitting ball winning device 540 is in the open state, the pachinko balls that flow down to the side of the hitting ball winning device 540 have a high probability of being inside the obstacle nails 555 arranged along the outer side of the obstacle piece 544. The pachinko ball that flows into the inside of the obstacle nail 555 in this way wins the special winning hole 520, and the variable winning device 53
0 also opens for 10 seconds, for example, every time a pachinko ball wins the special winning hole 520.

Therefore, if the nail adjustment is performed so that the winning probability to the hitting ball winning device 540 is extremely low, the hitting ball winning device 540 is obtained.
As long as the ball is closed, the variable prize device 530 rarely opens, but once the ball hitting prize tool 540 is opened, the variable prize device 530 will be opened with a very high probability thereafter, which is extremely emissive. It will be a strong pachinko machine. Therefore, in the case of this kind of pachinko game machine, not only the number of winning balls, the number of out balls, or the number of replenishing balls is transmitted to the control system side, but in addition to these pieces of information, the state of the hit ball winning device 540 and If the information indicating the state of the variable winning device 530 can be transmitted, the game store will be able to perform more accurate management. Therefore, in order to detect this kind of information, the following method is adopted in this embodiment.

As is well known, in a pachinko gaming machine, the pachinko balls that have won any of the winning ball devices are finally collected in a winning ball collecting gutter (not shown) on the back surface of the gaming machine, and this winning ball collecting gutter It is counted by a winning ball detector provided near the exit of. Also, if the winning ball device is some kind of accessory, in order to detect the pachinko ball that won the prize, the winning pachinko ball must pass through a predetermined sensor before reaching the winning ball gathering gutter. Good.

In the case of the pachinko game machine shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, as the information indicating the factors involved in the occurrence of the game state in which the profit of the player fluctuates rapidly, the hit ball winning device 540
The number of times that the game state is opened to enter the special winning hole 520, and the number of times of winning in the special winning hole 520 that triggers the opening of the variable winning device 530 are listed. In order to detect the number of times of winning in the special winning hole 520, which is a key to the opening of the variable winning device 530, as shown in FIG. 7, a micro switch, a photoelectric sensor, or the like is provided inside the special winning hole 520. The detector 521 may be provided.

On the other hand, in order to detect the number of times that the hitting ball winning device 540 has been opened and entered the special winning hole 520, it is possible to detect the number of times in which the player is in a gaming state. Instead, it is necessary to detect the pachinko ball that has won the hitting ball winning device 540 when the hitting ball winning device 540 is closed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the flow path through which the pachinko ball that has won the hitting ball prize 540 reaches the prize ball collecting gutter (not shown) is branched into the first flow path 546 and the second flow path 547, and this first flow path 546 is provided. A game state detector 548 for detecting a flowing down pachinko ball is provided, and a branching rod 549 swinging integrally with the movable wing piece 543 is closed when the movable wing piece 543 is closed. When the movable wing piece 543 is opened and the 547 is closed, the first
It is projected in the vertically long winning hole 541 so as to close the flow path.

Therefore, the pachinko ball that has won the hitting ball winning device 540 while the movable wing piece 543 is closed is the first flow path 5.
Although the gaming state detector 548 is turned on after passing through 46, the pachinko ball won in the hitting ball winning device 540 while the movable wing piece 543 is opened passes through the second flow path 547, so that the gaming state detector 548 is displayed. Does not work. Therefore, if the number of times the game state detector 548 is turned on is counted, the movable wing piece 5
You can see how many times 43 was opened.

Incidentally, the sensors arranged in the vicinity of the accessory in this way, that is, the detector 521 and the game state detector 548.
In order to be incorporated in the transmission circuit, the wiring may be connected to the switch S1 and the switch S2 in FIG. 4, for example.
Further, in this embodiment, even when the information collected in the conventional system such as the number of winning balls, the number of out balls, and the number of replenishing balls is transmitted to the control system 100, a sensor is provided for each information.
In addition to the same parts as the sensors S1 and S2 of
The transmission line 202 and the integration memory 160 corresponding thereto may be added for each information. Further, if a margin is provided in advance for the number of addresses of the accumulating memory 160 and the number of output bits of the decoder 111, it is possible to cope with the expansion of the pachinko gaming machine simply by adding the terminal designation line 201.

As described above, according to the present invention, the profit of the player greatly fluctuates due to the change of the game state such as the change of the state of the accessory, and the central management device on the side of the game store via the transmission line. In the connected pachinko gaming machine, in addition to the information for simply calculating the profit and loss of the gaming shop, the information for grasping the fluctuation of the gaming status can be easily sent to the centralized management device on the gaming shop side. Because it is possible, even for a pachinko gaming machine that has this type of accessory, not only adjustments that rely on intuition as in the past, but also rational adjustments supported by information are possible, as well as collected data. By analyzing it, it becomes possible to use it for finding fraud.

Further, in the present invention, the relay contact is activated by amplifying the information generated in the control logic circuit, so that the conventional transmission line having a higher voltage than that in the logic circuit is used as it is. Not only can it be done, but it can easily respond to changes in the type of character and changes in the type of necessary information.

The transmission / reception of information between the control system side and the terminal side is not limited to the above-mentioned method. For example, a protocol may be established at the time of transmission / reception such as a polling method. If a line with high transmission speed such as will be offered at a lower cost,
It would also be possible to practically supply a standardized system according to this type of scheme.

Further, in the above description, two examples of pachinko gaming machines with an accessory are shown and described, but the present invention is such that the profits of the player may greatly fluctuate due to fluctuations in the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine. It is widely applicable to a system in which a type of pachinko game machine is a terminal.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine, and importantly relates directly to the management status of a game store, such as the number of big hits of another game means provided in a game area on a game board surface.
The operation information can be sent to the central management device of the amusement store.
New pachinko machine.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As is well known in recent years pachinko shop terminal device such as pachinko machines and the ball lending machine via a transmission line connected to a computer system, the computer system sales volume sphere-winning from each terminal device Collects information indicating the number of balls, the number of balls to be replenished, the number of balls to be out, etc., and performs centralized management of so-called all-store system such as replenishment instructions and stop instructions for each terminal device , business aggregation processing, etc. Are doing Then, the amusement store decides a business policy such as nail adjustment based on the operation information collected in this way.

[0003]

By the way, in recent years, many pachinko gaming machines, such as large-sized electric auditors, have been incorporated into the pachinko gaming machines in order to improve the service to the players. A pachinko gaming machine equipped with this kind of accessory has a large change in the winning rate per operating unit time depending on whether the accessory is in the so-called jackpot state or in a state other than the jackpot, and it is extremely highly predictable. As a result, it is true that it has gained the support of a large number of players, but on the other hand, as a game shop, it is only possible to calculate the profit and loss obtained from the number of winning balls, the number of out balls, the number of replenishing balls, etc. The decision of the business policy by adjustment etc. is due to the following reasons.
The fact is that it is becoming difficult.

That is, this kind of gaming machine with an electric accessory is controlled so that a so-called big hit occurs with a certain probability, but this probability is considered in a long-term cycle such as monthly or yearly. This is something that can be obtained in some cases, and there is a considerable deviation when considered in a short cycle such as within the business hours of a day. However, in the conventional system that aggregates only information related to profit and loss calculation, it is not possible to grasp the factors involved in changes in the gaming state, such as the occurrence of jackpots, so it is assumed that the jackpot occurrence probability is uniquely determined. We have no choice but to set the business policy based on the original or rely on the intuition of the coordinator.

Therefore, for example, even when considering the nail adjustment of the stopping table as an example, the nail adjustment is performed when the hitting occurs due to the occurrence of the big hit and when the hitting occurs regardless of the occurrence of the big hit. Even though the method is completely different, this distinction cannot be made at all by the conventional aggregation of profit and loss calculation only, so it was said that jackpots were generated too much for the base that was stopped regardless of the jackpot occurrence. It is fully possible to adjust the nails based on your judgment. Also, considering the case where the stoppage occurs due to an illegal means such as artificially opening the variable winning device with a piano wire or the like, not only the conventional system cannot detect the illegal means but the nail is open. It may be possible to tighten the nail further based on this judgment.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing in principle a centralized management device to which an embodiment of the present invention is applied.
Is a control system, and a plurality of pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn are connected to the control system 100 via a transmission line 200.
Are connected. And each of these pachinko game machines P1 to P
n transmits information indicating the number of winning balls, the number of out balls, the number of replenishments, etc. to the control system 100 via the transmission line 200, and the control information transmitted from the control system 100 via the transmission line 200 indicates that there is no ball shortage. Performs control such as replenishment and stoppage of replenishment for the platform, and each pachinko game machine P1
Although the specific information about Pn differs depending on the type of the character, information related to the state of the character is transmitted through the transmission line 200.
To the control system 100 via. The information thus transmitted to the control system 100 is first added to the transmission control device 110, and the transmission control device 110 accumulates this information for each type of information and each identification code of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn. 160a, b, c, d are accumulated and stored.

The CPU 130, which controls the entire control system 100, reads a program written in the ROM 140 in advance or R when initializing the system.
According to the program loaded into the AM 150, the information accumulated and stored in the accumulation memories 160a, b, c, d is read through the transmission control device 110, and the I / O port 3
Display on the CRT display 311 via 10,
Print out from the printer 321 via the I / O port 320. Based on the information obtained in this way, the operator grasps what kind of state the accessory of each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn is, and uses it as a material for finding a misconduct or for nail adjustment on the next day.

As described above, each pachinko gaming machine P1 to Pn
The specific contents of the information transmitted by each pachinko gaming machine P1
~ Naturally, it depends on the composition of the accessory that Pn has.
FIG. 2 shows an example of a pachinko game machine with an electric accessory. That is, FIG. 2 shows a game board of a pachinko game machine with an electric accessory.
1 is an example of a game board surface 400 including a created game area , and the game machine shown in the figure is in a first state that is disadvantageous to the player and a second state that is advantageous to the player due to the game result of a so-called slot game. It is a type that opens and closes a convertible variable winning device.

As shown in the figure, in the approximate center of the game board surface 400, a so-called variable display device as a component of another game means is provided .
A game device 410 in which 7-segment LEDs, which is an example, are arranged in three digits is arranged .
The opening mode of the variable winning device described later is controlled corresponding to the display mode when the identification information is variably displayed and stopped , and thereby the profit state of the player greatly fluctuates. In this embodiment, the information indicating the factors involved in the fluctuation of the profit state of the player is transmitted to the control system 100 via the transmission line 200.

That is, on the game board surface 400 of the present embodiment, in addition to the normal winning ball devices 401, 402, 403 that promise only the refund of the prize balls to the winning balls and the out holes for collecting the out balls, the game. specific sphere winning regions 420a · 420b · 420c that triggers the start is provided, the Japanese
When the pachinko ball is finished in the constant spherical prize area 420a · 420b · 420c, the game device 410 is operated, the display mode is varied continuously. Then, when the game player presses the stop switch 430 provided on the front surface of the game machine, or when the game player does not press the stop switch 430 even after a predetermined time elapses after the game device 410 is operated, the game device 4
10 stops its operation, and the game device 410 at that time
The opening mode of the variable winning device 440 is controlled according to the display mode. Specifically, when the display mode of the game device 410 is [7.7.7] and the game is over, the variable winning a prize device 440 is opened for 30 seconds, and when the game is over in other display modes, the variable prize is over. Device 440 opens for 0.6 seconds.

Further, in the present embodiment, the central variable winning area 44
0a is defined as a special ball winning area, and if the variable winning apparatus 440a (special ball winning area) is won while the variable winning apparatus 440 is opened for 30 seconds as described above, the opening for 30 seconds will be performed. After completion, the variable winning device 44
0 continues for 30 seconds. Although a so-called tulip type is shown as an example of the variable winning device 440 in FIG. 2, other variable winning devices have an extremely low probability of winning inside when closed, or do not win at all, and when opening. The present invention can be applied as long as the winning probability is improved.

A control system for controlling the operation of such a pachinko gaming machine is shown in FIG. 3. The operation will be described in detail with reference to the drawing. The specific ball winning area 420a When a pachinko ball is won in any of the 420b and 420c, it is constituted by, for example, a photoelectric sensor, a micro switch, or the like, and the specific ball winning area 420a or 42a.
The specific sphere detectors 421a, 421b, 421c as specific sphere detecting means provided in the 0b 420c generate a specific sphere detection signal, and the specific sphere detection signal is added to the game device starting means 422.

The game device starting means 422 is for adding a start signal and a stop signal to the random number generator 423. The game device starting means 422 has a built-in counter capable of continuously counting and storing the specific ball detection signal up to a maximum of four shots. Unless the counter overflows, a random number is added every time the specific ball detection signal is added. Generator 4
The start signal is added to 23, and the game device 410 creates
Will move.

When the start signal is applied in this way,
The random number generator 423 generates three series of random numbers from 0 to 9 by software, and the random numbers are added to the decoders / drivers 424a, 424b, 424c for each series. And decoders / drivers 424a, 424b, 4
24c respectively decodes the random numbers and drives the corresponding LED display portions 411a, 411b, 411c of the game device 410. Accordingly, the display mode of the game device 410 continuously changes at the same time that the game device activation means 422 which has received the specific ball detection signal applies the activation signal to the random number generator 423, and the slot game is started.

When the player presses the stop switch 430 at an arbitrary timing after the slot game is started in this way, a stop signal is output from the stop switch 430, and this stop signal is generated through the OR gate 432 and a random number is generated. Part 423. When the random number generator 423 receives this stop signal, it stops generating random numbers.
LED display portions 411a and 411b of the game device 410
The display content of 411c is fixed at that time, and the slot game ends. Further, the game device starting means 422 also has a timer function, and even if the player forgets to press the stop switch 430, a stop signal is generated when, for example, 4 seconds have elapsed after the start signal was output to the random number generating means 423, This stop signal is sent to the random number generator 423 via the OR gate 432.
Added to. Therefore, even if the player forgets to press the stop switch 430, the slot game automatically ends 4 seconds after the start of the slot game. When the slot game ends in this way, the random number generator 42
From 3 the game end signal indicating the end of the game is applied to the AND logic 425 and the variable winning device control means 441.

First, the AND logic 425 receives numerical information equivalent to the random number added to the decoder / driver 424 from the random number generator 423. When the AND logic 425 receives the game end signal, the random number is generated at that time. The logic determination of the three series of random numbers output by the unit 423 is performed. When all the random numbers indicate [7], the output is set to positive logic, and when the three series of random numbers are combinations other than the above, the the output to the negative logic. Then, like and- logic 425 For example serves as a specific game state detecting means.

On the other hand, the variable winning device control means 441 checks the output logic of the AND logic 425 when it receives the game end signal, and the 0.6 second timer 44 if the output logic is negative.
2 is triggered, and if the output logic of the AND logic 425 is positive, the 30 second timer 443 is triggered.

First, when a trigger is applied to the 0.6-second timer 442, the 0.6-second timer 442 oscillates for 0.6 seconds and the output drive signal is positive. And this
The drive signal is amplified by the driver 445 via the OR gate 444, and the variable winning apparatus 440a, 440b, 440c.
For driving solenoids 446a, 446b, 44
6c is excited during that time, and variable prize winning devices 440a and 440
b · 440c opens for 0.6 seconds. Then, the falling edge of the drive signal output by the 0.6-second timer is applied to the game device starting means 422 via the OR gate 447, and the counter in the game device starting means 422 is subtracted. Therefore, if the counter in the game device starting means 422 is adjusted so as to overflow at, for example, 4 counts, the specific ball detection signal can be continuously received up to four times, but a specific ball detection signal beyond that can be received by the slot game. 1
Unless you finish the game and the game result appears, you will not accept it.

On the other hand, when a trigger is applied to the 30-second timer 443, the 30-second timer 443 oscillates for 30 seconds, and the drive signal as its output becomes positive. Then, this drive signal is amplified by the driver 445 via the OR gate 444, and the solenoids 446a, 446b, 446c for driving the variable prize winning devices 440a, 440b, 440c are excited during that time, and the variable prize device 440a.・ 440b ・ 4
40c opens for 30 seconds. The output of the 30-second timer 443 is applied to one control input terminal of the AND gate 451. Therefore, when the variable winning device 440 is open for 30 seconds, the logic of one control input terminal of the AND gate 451 is It is positive. Further, the overflow output of the number setting means 452 is added to the other control input terminal of the AND gate 451. However, since the overflow output of the number setting means 452 is at the H level in the initial state, the special ball winning is performed in this state. When a pachinko ball wins the variable winning device 440a defined as a region, the special ball detector 45
The special sphere detection signal generated by No. 3 is added to the maximum profit giving means 454 via the AND gate 451. Then, for example, the AND gate 451, the special sphere detector 453, etc. function as the continuation condition detecting means.

The maximum profit giving means 454 opens the variable winning device 440 again for 30 seconds when certain conditions are satisfied, and gives an extremely large profit to the player. Specifically, the maximum profit giving means 454 is logically configured to start its operation when a special sphere detection signal is applied through the AND gate 451. Then, after the output is completed, the trigger is applied to the 30-second timer 443 only once via the OR gate 448. Therefore, when the variable winning device 440a is opened for 30 seconds, if the variable winning device 440a wins, the variable winning device 440 again wins 3 times.
It will be opened for 0 seconds. Then, since the AND gate 451 is opened when the variable winning device 440 is opened for 30 seconds, the variable winning device 4 is opened as it is for 30 seconds.
As long as the player wins the prize within 40a, the variable winning device 440 repeats opening for 30 seconds without any limit.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the number of times setting means 452 is set.
The falling edge of the output of the 30-second timer 443 is counted by a counter incorporated in the counter, and when this counter counts a set number, for example, 10, the overflow output of the number setting means 452 falls to L level. As a result, since the AND gate 451 is closed, the special sphere detection signal generated thereafter is the maximum profit giving means 45.
Therefore, the variable winning device 440 becomes 10
When the opening for the 30th time is completed, the maximum profit giving means 454 generates a reset signal instead of outputting a drive signal to the 30-second timer 443, and this reset signal resets the number-of-times setting means 452 via the OR gate 447. At the same time, the counter built in the game device starting means 422 is subtracted. Even if the variable winning device 440 does not win the variable winning device 440a during the opening for 30 seconds, the special profit detection signal is not added to the maximum profit giving means 454, so that the variable winning device 440 is opened for 30 seconds. After the end, the device is initialized. And, for example, an OR gate 448,
The 30-second timer 443 or the like functions as a repetitive drive control means.

By the way, the variable winning device 440 is constructed so that the internal winning efficiency is remarkably improved by opening it as described above. It has a significant relationship with the profits of the game and also has a significant relationship with the management status of the amusement store. Therefore, fair and appropriate care to the player guests
Aiming for detailed service, the amusement store has local characteristics
In order to conduct the sound management that takes into account the location and conditions, specific
Detection output from game state detection means and operation of another game means
It is desirable to know precisely the operation information involved in the change aspect of variation input prize apparatus 440 including another game control signals relating to.

For example, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine shown in FIG. 2, the factors involved in the variation of the mode of the variation winning device 440 are (a). The number of times the display of the game device 410 is in the so-called jackpot display mode [7,7,7] within a unit time, (b). The number of times a slot game was played in a unit time, (c). The number of balls that have won the specific ball winning area 420 within a unit time,
(D). The number of times the variable winning device repeats opening for 30 seconds in response to a special ball detection signal command within a unit time,
Etc. can be considered. The unit time here is
Depending on the desire, the business hours of the day may be set as a unit time, or
Each pachinko machine is operating for a specified time
It can be set as a unit time or can be set appropriately.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the variable winning device 440
In order for the control system 100 to recognize the information related to the variation of the above mode, the signals at each point shown in FIG. 3 are transmitted to the control system 100, and the signals transmitted on the control system 100 side are integrated and stored. Specifically, (a). In order to grasp the number of times the display of the game device 410 has changed to the jackpot display mode within a unit time, the variable winning device 44
1 transmits the trigger added to the 30-second timer 443,
(B). In order to grasp the number of times the slot game has been played within the unit time, the game device activation means 422 transmits an activation signal added to the random number generation means 423, (c).
In a unit time, a specific ball detection signal is transmitted to grasp the number of balls that have won the specific ball winning area 420,
(D). The drive signal added to the 30-second timer 443 by the maximum profit giving means 454 in order to grasp the number of times the variable winning device has repeatedly opened for 30 seconds in response to the command of the special ball detection signal within the unit time. To transmit.

The terminal point ABCD in FIG. 3 shows an example of the take-out port of these signals, and a concrete transmission system and a configuration example of the transmission system are shown in detail in FIG. The transmission system shown in FIG.
The signals generated at points A, B, C, and D in the pachinko gaming machine Pi (i is a natural number from 0 to n) scanned by the decoder 111 on the 10 side are transmission lines 202a and 202b corresponding to the respective signals. The accumulation memories 160a and 160 latched by the latch circuit 112 on the transmission control device 110 side via 202c and 202d and corresponding to the respective information.
The values are accumulated in b.160c.160d and stored. In the illustrated embodiment, the address designated by the terminal by the decoder 111 and each accumulation memory 160a, 160b, 160c, 1
Since the addresses of 60d are matched with each other in terms of hardware, information can be collected very quickly in this embodiment.

Next, the detailed configuration of the transmission system shown in FIG. 4 will be described together with its operation. The basic clock oscillated by the oscillator 113 which determines the basic operation speed of the transmission system takes a count value from 0 to 7. Ring counter 114
The count value of the ring counter 114 which is added to the clock input terminal of the ring counter 114 and added in synchronization with the basic clock is added to the decoder 115 for controlling the timing, and the decoder 115 decodes the count value of the ring counter 114. Various control signals from 0 to 7 are generated. Then, one transmission cycle is completed while one cycle of various control signals 0 to 7 generated by the decoder 115 is completed.
Further, the most significant digit of the ring counter 114 is added to the clock input terminal of the ring counter 116, and the count value of the ring counter 116 is used for addressing the pachinko gaming machine as the terminal and of the accumulating memories 160a, b, c. Used for addressing.

That is, the count value of the ring counter 116 is added to the decoder 111 for designating the address of the terminal device, and the decoder 111 decodes this and designates the first to nth terminal devices. Then, while the count value of the ring counter 116 is incremented by 1, the ring counter 11
Since the count value of 4 cycles once, the data transmission cycle with the pachinko gaming machine ends while the decoder 111 designates a pachinko gaming machine.

For example, as a result of the slot game being played on the first pachinko gaming machines, the display mode of the game device 410 is [7/7/7] (that is, a big hit).
Let's say The display mode of the game device 410 is [7
7/7], the variable winning device control means 441 applies a trigger to the 30-second timer 443 via the OR gate 448, and this trigger is led to the point A. (See FIG. 3) Then, referring to FIG. 4, the driving current flows through the driver circuit Da by the trigger derived at the point A, and the pachinko game machine is operated.
The relay 211a in the switchboard 210 serving as the output terminal board is closed. In addition, this switchboard 210 is a pachinko
It is provided in a predetermined part on the back side of the game machine, and is used in pachinko game shops.
Is connected to the central control device.

On the other hand, at a certain timing, the ring counter 1
When the count value of 14 becomes 1, the decoder 111 designates the first group by turning on the output No. 1 and turning on the sweep driver DR1. When the sweep driver DR1 is turned on in this way, from the power supply V to the photocoupler Pa, the transmission line 202a, the relay 211a, and the terminal designation line 201.
A current flows through the path, and the phototransistor forming the photocoupler Pa is turned on.

Further, the latch circuit 112 has four storage locations from La to Ld, and the storage locations are each A in FIG.
The latch circuit 112 is assigned to the signals of the point, the B point, the C point, and the D point.
The input signal is latched at the timing when the load signal, which is the second output, is added. Therefore, when the phototransistor forming the photocoupler Pa is turned on as described above, the memory location La of the latch circuit 112 stores the occurrence of the jackpot at the timing when the decoder 115 raises the load signal, and its output is It is added to the memory control means 161 in the accumulation memory 160a.

In addition to the output of the latch circuit 112, load / count / write control signals are applied to the memory control means 161 from the decoder 115, and memory addresses are applied from the address bus AD. When the load signal is applied from the decoder 115, the memory control means 161 applies the preset enable signal PE to the preset counter 162, and the preset counter 162 presets the numerical value derived on the output line of the memory 163. The decoder 115 is the 0th
Since the buffer gate 117 is activated when the 1st, 2nd, and 7th outputs are raised, the memory control means 161 causes the memory control means 161 to transmit the count value of the ring counter 116 (that is, The first address is added, and the memory control means 161 gives this address to the memory 163 as it is. Therefore, at this time, the stored contents of the addresses assigned to the first series of the memory 163 are derived from the output line of the memory 163. Since the stored contents of the addresses assigned to the first series of the memory 163 indicate the integrated value of the number of jackpots that have occurred in the first series up to the immediately preceding operation cycle, the preset counter 162 shows the previous operation. By the cycle, the integrated value of the number of jackpots generated in the first group is preset.

Subsequently, when the decoder 115 raises the count signal, this count signal is applied to the memory control means 16
1 and the memory control means 161 stores the occurrence of a big hit in the memory area La of the latch circuit 112 when the count signal is applied.
The count-up clock ck is output to 62. Therefore, in the present operation example, the count-up clock ck is added to the preset counter 162, so that the preset counter 162 has the first counter by the immediately preceding operation cycle.
The cumulative value of the number of jackpots generated in the number series will be incremented by 1.

Next, when the decoder 115 raises the write signal, this write signal is applied to the memory control means 161, and when the memory control means 161 is applied with this write signal, the write control signal W for the memory 163 is written. Add. As a result, the memory 163 outputs the value derived to the output line of the preset counter 162 (that is, the integrated value of the number of jackpots generated in the 1st group up to the immediately preceding operation cycle to the jackpot generated in the 1st group in the current operation cycle). Value) is stored. By executing the same operation as above every time the output signal of the decoder 111 specifies each pachinko gaming machine P1 to Pn, the number of jackpots accumulated in each pachinko gaming machine P1 to Pn is stored in the memory 160a. 163. Further, the accumulation memories 160b, c, d are also configured similarly to the accumulation memory 160a, and the relays 211b, c
Since d is also configured in the same manner as the relay 211a, by performing the same operation as described above, the integrated value of the number of times of slot games within a unit time is added to the integrated memory 160b.
In addition, the integrated value of the number of winnings in the specific ball winning area within the unit time is stored in the integrating memory 160c, and the integrated value of the number of times the variable winning device repeats opening for 30 seconds due to winning in the special ball winning area in the unit time. Is the accumulation memory 160d
Are stored in each.

In this way, each integration memory 160a / b
・ The integrated value of the necessary information is stored in c and d, while the CPU
Reference numeral 130 denotes each integration memory 160a.b.b at the timing when the decoder 115 permits the occupation of the address bus AD.
The information stored in cd is read.

That is, when the 3rd to 6th outputs of the decoder 115 are at the H level, the buffer gate 117 is deactivated,
The buffer gate 118 is activated. Therefore, the CPU
130 is a latch circuit 119 for the base address of the pachinko gaming machine that is going to collect data via the system bus SB.
If the address is written in, the address is sent to the address bus AD at the timing when the buffer gate 118 is activated, and this base address is given to the memory 163 via the memory control means 161. Then, the information of the specified pachinko gaming machine is read from the addressed address of the memory 163 and sent to the system bus SB via the output buffer 164.

In addition, when collecting the cumulative number of jackpots generated in each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn, from the cumulative memory 160a, when collecting the cumulative value of the number of times of slot games in a unit time, from the cumulative memory 160b, When collecting the integrated value of the number of winnings in the specific ball winning area in the unit time, the variable winning device is 3 from the integrating memory 160c by winning in the special ball winning area in the unit time.
Needless to say, when collecting the integrated value of the number of times the opening is repeated for 0 seconds, the data is collected from the integrating memory 160d. Further, the OR gate OR2 is for preventing the transmission system from inadvertently operating when the CPU 130 occupies the address bus AD.
The decoder 111 is activated when the output of R2 is at the H level (that is, when the decoder 115 is not outputting the load count write control signals).

The information collected in this way is sent to the CPU 13
0 is output processing (for example, C via the I / O port 310).
Displayed on RT311. Print out from the printer 321 via the I / O port 320. (Stored in the magnetic disk 331 via the I / O port 330).

FIG. 5 shows the CRT 3 thus displayed.
11 is an example of a display screen of 11, showing the number of profit balls, the number of lost balls, and the number of differences for each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn, as well as the number of large hits, the number of games, the number of specific ball prizes, and the variation of the prize winning device. The number of times is displayed. The data printed out from the printer 321 and the data stored in the magnetic disk 331 are the same as the data displayed as described above, and thus are not shown in duplicate, but the operator collects them in this way. By analyzing the data, it is possible to accurately determine what kind of game progress each of the pachinko gaming machines P1 to Pn is placed in.

For example, if the number of jackpots is low but it is stopped, it can be determined that the obstacle nail for the normal winning hole is open, and the number of games is increased.
And if a large equivalent number and is high and specific ball winning count maintaining a certain probability will be able to determine that nails are open for a particular sphere winning area. In addition, if the number of big hits with respect to the number of games occurs with a higher probability than the average, it may be possible to judge that it is the effect of an uncertain random number factor. If the number of changes in the device is extremely high, it can be judged that there is some kind of fraud.

By using the data collected in this way, instead of performing a calculation process based on the number of winning balls and the number of payout balls as in the conventional case and controlling the hitting, a large number of times (a pachinko game of this type) In the machine, when the jackpot is generated, the number of hits is usually reached, and the hit control may be performed.

In the above, the large number of wins, the number of specific ball winnings,
An example of a transmission system was shown in which the number of games and the number of fluctuations in the prize winning device were collected as data.
A micro switch, a photoelectric sensor, or the like for detecting the occurrence of a winning ball or an out ball, which is a hitting ball, is provided at a predetermined position of each pachinko gaming machine, and an accumulation memory 160 corresponding to each sensor is provided as a transmission control system. Latch circuit 1
Twelve storage locations, a transmission line 202, etc. may be provided and the same operation as described above may be performed. Switches S1 and S2 in FIG.
Indicates the circuit arrangement position of these sensors, and the open terminals of the switches S1 and S2 are connected to a transmission line (not shown). Then, for example, the relay 211
a, the latch circuit 112, the accumulation memory 160a, etc. as the specific game state detection output counting means, for example, the relay 21
1d, the latch circuit 112, the accumulation memory 160d, etc. each function as a continuation condition detection output counting means.

By the way, it goes without saying that the type of information relating to a predetermined gaming state in which the profit of the player sharply rises changes corresponding to the type of the accessory provided in the pachinko gaming machine. Therefore, an example of a pachinko gaming machine provided with an accessory other than the above is shown in FIG. 6, and in the case of a pachinko gaming machine having such an accessory, what information should be transmitted will be considered below.

FIG. 6 shows a gaming board surface 400 of a pachinko gaming machine having an accessory of a form other than the above. The outline of the structure and operation of the gaming machine shown in FIG.
Basically, if a pachinko ball that is driven in like an ordinary pachinko gaming machine is collected in the out hole 501 , it will be a profit for the game store, and one of the winning ball devices 502, 503, 504.
The back mechanism is configured so that a predetermined number of prize balls can be refunded when a prize is paid to 505/506, tulips 508/509, and other prize ball devices described later. To explain the characteristic point, in the case of the pachinko gaming machine of FIG. 6, when the special winning hole 520 as the special ball winning area is won in the process of playing the game as described above, the variable winning device 530 is, for example, 10. It is controlled to open for 2 seconds. Since this variable winning device 530 is an extremely large hitting ball winning device, a large number of prize balls will be returned to the player once it is opened, so that the variable winning device 530 is a special starting point. The high or low of the winning rate with respect to the winning hole 520 has a significant relation to the profit of the player, and if the player is in a gaming state in which it is easy to win the special winning hole 520, the profit of the player is promoted, and conversely, the special winning hole 520.
If the player is in a game state where it is difficult to win the prize, the profits of the player will decrease. Therefore, in the pachinko gaming machine of FIG. 6, the probability of winning in the special winning hole 520 can be adjusted according to the state of the hitting ball winning device 540 provided in the middle of the flow path through which the launched pachinko ball reaches the special winning hole 520. I am trying.

FIG. 7 shows a special winning hole 520 which serves as a starting point for opening the variable winning device 530, and the special winning hole 5
It is an enlarged view of the relationship of a hitting ball winning device 540 for controlling the winning probability to 20. To be more specific, ball hitting prize 5
Reference numeral 40 designates a vertically long winning hole 541 in a substantially central portion of a substrate for attaching itself to a gaming board surface 400 of a pachinko gaming machine, and a spindle 542 fixed to both sides of the winning hole 541.
Each of the triangular movable blades 543 is swingably supported. Further, an obstacle piece 544 is formed integrally with the movable wing piece 543 at the lower end of the outer side edge of the pair of movable wing pieces 543, and a swingback piece 545 is formed at the lower end of the inner side edge of the movable wing piece 543. Are formed integrally with the movable wing piece 543.

Each of the movable wing pieces 543 swings left and right around the support shaft 542 by the weight of each pachinko ball, and the hammered pachinko balls flow down along the game board surface 400 to allow the movable wing pieces 543 on both sides to move. When flown inward, the movable wing pieces 543 swing outwardly around the support shaft 542 due to the weight of the pachinko ball, and stop when they open and close approximately 60 degrees. Further, when a pachinko ball wins in the movable wing piece 543 while the movable wing piece 543 is open to the left and right in this way, the movable wing piece 543 is closed by the momentum when the pachinko ball collides with the swingback piece 545. To do.

Furthermore, below the ball hitting prize 540,
Obstacle nails 550 are arranged in a funnel shape so as to guide the pachinko balls that have flowed in below the hitting prize device 540 to the special winning hole 520.

When the hitting ball winning device 540 is now closed, most of the pachinko balls that flow down to the side of the hitting ball winning device 540 are repelled by the obstacle piece 544 and the obstacle nails 550 arranged in a funnel shape. Since it flows down to the outside of the special prize hole 520, almost no prize is won in the special prize hole 520.
0 rarely opens. On the other hand, when the hitting ball winning device 540 is in the open state, the pachinko balls that flow down to the side of the hitting ball winning device 540 have a high probability of being inside the obstacle nails 555 arranged along the outer side of the obstacle piece 544. The pachinko ball that flows into the inside of the obstacle nail 555 in this way wins the special winning hole 520, and the variable winning device 53
0 also opens for 10 seconds, for example, every time a pachinko ball wins the special winning hole 520.

Therefore, if the nail adjustment is performed so that the winning probability to the hitting ball winning device 540 is extremely low, the hitting ball winning device 540 is obtained.
As long as the ball is closed, the variable prize device 530 rarely opens, but once the ball hitting prize tool 540 is opened, the variable prize device 530 will be opened with a very high probability thereafter, which is extremely emissive. It will be a strong pachinko machine. Therefore, in the case of this kind of pachinko game machine, not only the number of winning balls, the number of out balls, or the number of replenishing balls is transmitted to the control system side, but in addition to these pieces of information, the state of the hit ball winning device 540 and If the information indicating the state of the variable winning device 530 can be transmitted, the game store will be able to perform more accurate management. Therefore, in order to detect this kind of information, the following method is adopted in this embodiment.

As is well known, in a pachinko gaming machine, the pachinko balls that have won any of the winning ball devices are finally collected in a winning ball collecting gutter (not shown) on the back surface of the gaming machine, and this winning ball collecting gutter It is counted by a winning ball detector provided near the exit of. Also, if the winning ball device is some kind of accessory, in order to detect the pachinko ball that won the prize, the winning pachinko ball must pass through a predetermined sensor before reaching the winning ball gathering gutter. Good.

In the case of the pachinko game machine shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, as the information indicating the factors involved in the occurrence of the game state in which the profit of the player fluctuates rapidly, the hit ball winning device 540
The number of times that the game state is opened to enter the special winning hole 520, and the number of times of winning in the special winning hole 520 that triggers the opening of the variable winning device 530 are listed. In order to detect the number of times of winning in the special winning hole 520, which is a key to the opening of the variable winning device 530, as shown in FIG. 7, a micro switch, a photoelectric sensor, or the like is provided inside the special winning hole 520. The detector 521 may be provided.

On the other hand, in order to detect the number of times that the hitting ball winning device 540 has been opened and entered the special winning hole 520, it is possible to detect the number of times in which the player is in a gaming state. Instead, it is necessary to detect the pachinko ball that has won the hitting ball winning device 540 when the hitting ball winning device 540 is closed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the flow path through which the pachinko ball that has won the hitting ball prize 540 reaches the prize ball collecting gutter (not shown) is branched into the first flow path 546 and the second flow path 547, and this first flow path 546 is provided. A game state detector 548 for detecting a flowing down pachinko ball is provided, and a branching rod 549 swinging integrally with the movable wing piece 543 is closed when the movable wing piece 543 is closed. When the movable wing piece 543 is opened and the 547 is closed, the first
It is projected in the vertically long winning hole 541 so as to close the flow path.

Therefore, the pachinko ball that has won the hitting ball winning device 540 while the movable wing piece 543 is closed is the first flow path 5.
Although the gaming state detector 548 is turned on after passing through 46, the pachinko ball winning the hitting ball winning device 540 when the movable wing piece 543 is opened passes through the second flow path 547, so that the gaming state detector 548 is displayed. Does not work. Therefore, if the number of times the game state detector 548 is turned on is counted, the movable wing piece 5
You can see how many times 43 was opened.

Incidentally, the sensors arranged in the vicinity of the accessory in this way, that is, the detector 521 and the game state detector 548.
In order to incorporate the signal into the transmission circuit, for example , the signal lines of the switch S1 and the switch S2 in FIG. 4 may be connected to the switchboard 210. Further, in the present embodiment, even when the information collected in the conventional system such as the number of winning balls, the number of out balls, and the number of replenishing balls is transmitted to the control system 100, the sensor S1 of FIG. The transmission line 202 and the accumulating memory 160 corresponding to the transmission line 202 may be added for each piece of information in addition to the addition of the same portion as S2. Further, if a margin is provided in advance for the number of addresses of the accumulating memory 160 and the number of output bits of the decoder 111, it is possible to cope with the expansion of the pachinko gaming machine simply by adding the terminal designation line 201.

In the above description, two examples of the pachinko gaming machine with an accessory are shown and explained, but the present invention is such that the profit of the player greatly fluctuates due to the fluctuation of the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine. regarding the type of pachinko machines are those that can be applied widely.

As described above, according to the present invention,
The profit of the game player changes drastically according to the game result of the game means.
