Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a payout status display device for informing a gaming machine user of past and present payout statuses in a gaming machine.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Pachinko game machines, rotating-game machines, arrange-ball game machines, and ball-playing machines (collectively, these game machines) are loved and enjoyed by many people. The biggest purpose for lovers to play on game machines is to win a large number of prizes by winning prizes and to enjoy their satisfaction. Therefore, whether to select a gaming machine with a high winning rate or a gaming table with a low winning rate has a great influence on whether or not the game is enjoyable.

[0003] Therefore, enthusiasts carefully select a gaming table when starting a game, and the past winning situation of the gaming machine (the winning situation in the present invention is a winning rate, up to now). Of the future payout status based on the changes in the winning condition, the number of times of winning, the time, or all the situation related to the payout.) Whether or not this prediction result is correct Tends to enjoy the game.

In order to meet the demands of such lovers, the following devices have been conventionally proposed. That is, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 54-78234, a device that displays the number of balls discharged as prize balls at the present time is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-43489, and until it is stopped. A device that displays the number of prize balls that can be ejected (total number of hits) is displayed in the number of "safe balls", "out balls", and "balls released" at the present time in No. 59-114182. Such a device has been proposed. Furthermore, in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 55-9231, the current payout amount is displayed with a different indicator light for each quantity rank for the purpose of grasping the operation status of the pachinko machine, not for displaying to the player. What has been proposed is proposed.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, these conventional display devices only provide the current payout status, not the detailed progress of the payout status from the past to the present. Therefore, the winning rate (the number of payouts with respect to the number of game balls), the transition of the winning condition from the past to the present (whether the winning rate is increasing or decreasing, or the winning rate is temporarily high. It is necessary for enthusiasts to predict the trend of the future payout situation, such as the change in the winning rate on average, etc.), or the change in the winning time and number of hits. Information on the past payout status of the gaming machine was not available, and it could not be a sufficient judgment material when selecting the gaming machine. In this way, with conventional gaming machines, sufficient information about the past payout status, which is necessary to select a gaming machine, cannot be obtained, so the gaming machine is selected while predicting the future payout status. I couldn't do that, and I couldn't fully utilize the game-like taste.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and when providing a gaming machine enthusiast with sufficient information about the payout situation from the past to the present, which is necessary for the selection of the gaming machine. By predicting the future payout status, etc., and making it possible to select a gaming machine that is easy to win and has a high winning rate, the gaming status in the gaming machine will be more enjoyable when selecting a gaming machine. The purpose is to provide a display device.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the payout status display device in the gaming machine of the present invention has a gaming table, a loading detector for counting the number of gaming balls thrown from the slot of the gaming table, and the gaming machine. Based on the output from the payout detector that counts the number of game balls paid out from the payout port of the table, the comparator that compares the output from these input detectors and the payout detector, and the output from the above-mentioned comparator It is composed of a display unit that displays the transition of the winning degree from to the present, and if necessary, the display unit displays the transition related to the hit from the past to the present by the signal from the hit detector that detects the hit state. Is also displayed.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a spinning machine (commonly called a pachi-slot), and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a display device. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a gaming machine of a spinning-roller gaming machine, the basic configuration of which is the same as the conventional one.

On the front of the game table 10, a medal insertion slot 11, a winning medal payout slot 12, a rotating window 13, a start lever 14a, a stop button 14b, etc. are provided. In addition, inside the game table 10, an inserted medal detector 15 for counting the number of medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 11 (not shown in FIG. 1, but usually near the rear side of the insertion slot 11) Provided), a payout medal detector 16 for counting the number of medals paid out from the medal payout opening 12 (not shown in FIG. 1, but usually provided in a medal hopper provided inside the game table) , A rotating cylinder (not shown), or a control unit (not shown) including a CPU.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a display, which is attached to the front of the game table 10 at a relatively easy-to-see position. This indicator 21 indicates the aforementioned inserted medal detector 15 and payout medal detector 16, a comparator 22 for comparing the signal from the inserted medal detector 15 and the signal from the paid out medal detector 16, and the hit state. The ball-turning position detector 23 for detection forms a payout status display device. The display 21 receives the output from the comparator 22 (the ratio of the number of paid-out medals to the number of inserted medals) and displays it as numerical data or graph data momentarily, for example, from several days ago to today, or Displays the winning rate, change in winning condition, etc. from the time of opening the store to the present day as the past payout status.

In addition, by indicating that the output has been received from the rotary body position detector 23 by hitting with numerical data or mark data (big hit mark, medium hit mark), etc., for example, from several days ago It is displayed as the past payout status regarding the number of hits and the number of days, time, and the number of hits from the opening of the day to the present day, and the number of rotations of the spinning drum since the last big hit. is there. As the comparator 22, the control unit composed of the above-mentioned CPU is usually used, but it is of course possible to provide the control unit separately.

As described above, according to the above-mentioned embodiment, the display 21 displays the winning rate from the past to the present, the transition of the winning condition, and the transition regarding the winning, so that the lovers can It provides enough information to predict future ball output. Therefore, enthusiasts of spinning-drum game machines can predict the future tendency of the payout situation by referring to the information displayed on the display unit 21 and enjoy the game-like selection of the game table to play. Can be done. In addition, in the specification, “balls” and “gaming balls” are generic terms including spherical and medal-shaped ones.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and includes, for example, the following modifications. The invention is applied to pachinko game machines, arrange ball game machines, ball game machines, etc. A detector that counts the number of game balls thrown in and a detector that counts the number of payouts are provided independently for the display device. A signal for detecting the hit state is obtained from a device other than the rotating body position detector, for example, a centralized control device for gaming machines. Information other than the above, such as slump information, is displayed as the display information. As the display information, any of the above-mentioned information, for example, only the winning rate and the transition of the winning condition are displayed. A display device that is attached to a position other than the front of the game console, such as an island or the entrance of a store.
