A storage unit 16 for storing the above information, a printer 17 for printing out the above information supplied from the storage unit 16, an input unit 13 for the information and the pachinko machine M.
When the two match, comparing the information supplied by
The control unit 18a outputs an operation set signal MS for setting the shutter and the counter in the pachinko machine to an operable state.
And the game data supplied from the storage unit 16, and the game data supplied from the input unit 13 of the pachinko machine, In addition, it is composed of an arithmetic processing unit 19 which arithmetically processes the data supplied from each counter and outputs the control output of the shutter or the control output of the display drive unit 20.

An example of the pachinko machine of the present invention is constructed as described above. Next, an example of its operation will be described.

When a player who intends to play a pachinko game pays for the number of balls used for the game, the store side inputs the numerical value indicating the number of balls and the personal identification number into the data processing unit GD. It is set in the section 15. The setting data of the input unit 15 is stored in the storage unit 16 and is printed on the card C by the printer 17, and the card is handed to the person who plays the game. The person who plays the game is this card C
Select any Pachinko machine M with the
Set the ball count data and unique data printed on the card. This setting is supplied to the discriminating unit 18 as the initial data ID together with the code signal attached to the selected pachinko machine.

The discriminating unit 18 compares the initial data ID in the input unit 13 with the stored data MD in the storage unit 16 together with the code of the pachinko machine, and when both match, the code signal of the pachinko machine is used as an address signal in the storage unit. The 16 data MDs are supplied to the arithmetic processing unit 19, and the shutters and counters 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 11a, 11b,
A signal MS is supplied to the control unit 18a of 12a so that each of these shutters and counters can be operated.

In this state, the person who plays the game sets the number of balls used for the game in the input section 13 of the pachinko machine within the range of the initial data. The game ball number setting signal gB1 is supplied to the arithmetic processing unit 19. Upon receiving this signal gB1, the arithmetic processing unit 19 subtracts the number of game balls from the number of balls of the initial data MD to calculate the current value, and at the same time gives the shutter 6a an open signal. The open state of the shutter 6a is maintained until the count signal from the counter 6b coincides with the ball number signal gB1 in the arithmetic processing section 19, and at the same time, the shutter 6a is closed. By the opening and closing operations of the shutter, the downflow duct 6
Since the game ball is set on the upper tray 8 by flowing through, the person who plays the game operates the launcher 2 as usual to play the pachinko game.

Each sphere fired on the board enters the prize hole 3 or the out hole 4, and these spheres are all gathered in the internal saucer 10 and are counted by the count 12a while being conveyed by the conveyor 12.
Is returned to the hopper 5.

As a result, the arithmetic processing unit 19 causes the display unit 14 to display the number of balls used for the game and the number of game balls remaining in the upper tray 8. The display is not only a visual display,
Also displayed by sound.

When a ball enters the prize hole 3, it is individually detected by the prize detector 3a and counted as the number of times of winning. On the other hand, the signal of the detector 3a opens the shutter 7a of the downflow duct 7 to lower the prize ball. It is delivered to the saucer 9.

The number of payouts is counted by the counter 7b and supplied to the arithmetic processing section 19. The arithmetic processing unit 19 adds the data of the number of winning spheres to the current value of the initial data, or forms a data in which only the number of winning spheres is accumulated. These data are also displayed on the display unit 14 one by one.

In this way, the pachinko game proceeds, but the game can proceed until the number of balls of the initial data ID becomes zero, and when it becomes zero, the game ends.

Even if the number of game balls gB1 becomes zero, if the balls remain in the initial data, an additional game ball gB2 can be set in the input unit 13. The setting of this additional game ball gB2 is the initial data ID.
You can add more times until is zero. The additional game in this case proceeds in the same manner as in the previous embodiment.

On the other hand, even if the initial data ID becomes zero, if the winning ball exists in the lower tray 9, the winning ball can be used as a game ball.

In this case, the setting of the additional game ball gB3 can be arbitrarily set within the cumulative value of the number of winning balls accumulated in the lower tray 9.

When the setting of the additional game ball gB3 is performed within the above conditions, the winning balls corresponding to the set value are released by the shutter 11.
a is opened and conveyed to the hopper 5 by the conveyor 11, from which the shutter 6 of the flow-down duct 6 is released.
The additional game ball is supplied to the upper upper plate 8 after a is opened by the corresponding numerical value, and the additional game becomes possible. In the additional game, the additional game ball data gB3 is used instead of the initial data ID. The progress of this additional game proceeds in the same manner as the previous game.

After playing the game as described above,
The game on this pachinko machine is completed when the initial data ID and the winning balls are exhausted.

On the other hand, when the initial data ID and / or winning ball data are present and the player wants to end the game, he / she presses the end key E on the input section 13 of the pachinko machine M to give a signal to that effect. Enters the arithmetic processing section 19, and in the arithmetic section 19, the initial data and the present value of the winning ball data are summed up, and the summed data AD is driven on the printer 17 to be ejected to the card C and displayed on the display section 14. . At this time, the unique data such as the personal identification number of the initial data ID is also written on the card as it is.

The person who has played the above-mentioned game and received the card C moves to another pachinko machine and plays the game again, or exchanges the total data AD for a considerable amount of prizes.

The above-described embodiment of the pachinko machine describes the combination of one pachinko machine M and one game data processing unit GD, and the device of the present invention is as shown in FIG. In addition, a plurality of pachinko machines M and a game data processing unit G having a storage unit, a calculation unit, etc. having a capacity corresponding thereto
By connecting D to the data bus DB, it becomes possible to set up a pachinko ball game hall that does not require any pachinko ball processing facility for accumulating, transporting and distributing the pachinko balls themselves.

[0042]

The present invention is as described above, and since the game can be played without touching the ball used as a game medium for the pachinko game at all, handling of the pachinko ball by the person playing the pachinko game It is possible to eliminate the annoyance associated with.

Further, even if the pachinko ball is not touched at all, the pachinko game itself sets the game ball to the upper saucer, shoots the ball, and lowers the prize ball, just as in the conventional pachinko machine. Since the payout to the pachinko machine is performed, the state of the ball coming in and going out can be visually confirmed almost in the same manner as the current pachinko machine, and the interest of the pachinko game is not reduced.

That is, in the pachinko machine of the present invention, the game balls are supplied to the launcher one by one via the upper saucer formed of a transparent material so that the inside can be visually recognized. While the player can play the game while knowing the remaining number of balls used, etc., the prize payout balls are paid out to the lower saucer made of transparent material so that the inside can be visually confirmed, so the game can be performed while checking the prize payout balls. Since the winning payout balls actually make a sound, the player can play the game with almost the same feeling as a conventional pachinko gaming machine. In other words, the same feeling and satisfaction as playing a game with a conventional pachinko machine can be obtained, which leads to the relief of stress. Further, when the winning balls are full in the lower tray, the shutter can be opened at a proper timing to allow the balls to flow into the downflow duct, so that there is no problem even if continuous winnings are paid out.

Therefore, the pachinko machine of the present invention is an improvement over the conventional pachinko machine, and is compared with a dull pachinko machine in which the remaining number of balls used in the game and the winning payout balls are displayed only as numbers. But it has its own characteristics.

Furthermore, since there is no so-called island mechanism for supplying and discharging balls as a game medium to the pachinko machine, it is possible to greatly simplify the pachinko parlor facility, and to reduce the equipment cost and its maintenance cost. The place to contribute is extremely large.
