The hall constant in the hall computer of a pachinko parlor is usually set by inputting from the screen.
The "Hall constant" is often reset when "when replacing a new machine" or "when upgrading a hall computer". At that time, in the conventional technique, the original input method is estimated and input on a sheet of paper with reference to the form (printing the set constant) in which the setting contents of the Hall constant are printed.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining conventional Hall constant setting, installation constant printing and resetting work. For example, a unit number is selected as the Hall constant to be set by the operator, and 1-
When 2-1-0-0 is input from the keyboard, 1-2-1-0-0 is displayed in the input data area of the screen. If the selected hall constant item is a stand number, 1-2-1-0-
The number "1" (first number) at the left end of 0 indicates the head unit number, the second number "2" indicates the actual number, and the third number "1" indicates the address of the internal memory. The number "0" in the second column indicates the department, and the number "0" in the fifth column indicates the connection method. The division is a classification in the game machine, and 0 = pachinko division and 1 = medal division are designated.
The connection method represents the difference in how signals are taken and is 0
= Make contact, 1 = Break contact.

Select the unit number as the hall constant item and
-Enter the item setting data "2-1-0-0" and press the setting key to operate the constant setting program. The constant setting program causes 1 G1 P 2 G2 P to be stored in the internal memory of the hall computer. The data to say is developed. 1 1 at the left end of 1 G1 P indicates the address of the internal memory, G1 indicates the number of the game machine, and P indicates that the game machine is a pachinko game machine. 2 2 at the left end of 2 G2 P indicates the address of the internal memory, G2 indicates the number of the game machine, and P indicates that the game machine is a pachinko game machine. Although not shown, information indicating the connection method is also written in the internal memory.

Select the unit number as the hall constant item and select 3
When the item setting data "-1-3-1-0" is input and the setting key is pressed, the data "3 G3 M1" is expanded. 3 3 at the left end of G3 M1
Indicates the address of the internal memory, G3 indicates the number of the game machine, and M1 indicates that the game machine is a medal game machine.

The rightmost 1 of the Hall constant of the first row, the rightmost 1 of the Hall constant of the second row, and the rightmost 2 of the Hall constant of the third row in the internal memory indicate island numbers. When Taijima is selected as the Hall constant item and item setting data such as 1-2-1 is input, the island number is written in the corresponding line of the internal memory. 1-2-1 indicates that the game machines numbered 1 and 2 belong to the island numbered 1. The rental island can be entered in the same manner as the game console by selecting a hall constant item (not shown) called rental island.

When the operator inputs a print request for the hall constant, the print program operates and an installation constant print form saying 1 game 1 1 1 2 1 2 3 3 3 2 lending machine 1 1 2 4: is output.

1 1 2 1 of the installation constant print form indicates that the island of No. 1 has the game machine of No. 1 and the game machine of No. 2, and these data are stored from the first address of the internal memory. Show. Setting number 2 3 3 3 of printed form
Indicates that there is a game machine with number 3 on the island with number 2, and this data is stored in address 3 of the internal memory.
1 1 2 4 of the installation constant print form indicates that the island number 1 has the number 1 rental machine and the number 2 rental machine, and these data are stored from address 4 of the internal memory.

In the conventional resetting work of the hall constants, the input method is estimated from the contents of the printing of the installation constants, they are put together on paper, and the hall constants are input with reference to this paper.

[0018]

The conventional form which outputs the set contents of the Hall constant is for confirming the set Hall constant, and the set constant is used as a model (playing table,
It was output collectively for each ball lending machine). Therefore, the setting contents of the Hall constant output by the installation constant printing and the input method on the setting screen are not compatible, and the Hall constant cannot be input based on the installation constant printing.

The present invention was created in view of this point, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a hole computer having a hole constant printing function capable of reliably and easily resetting the hole constant.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining one embodiment of the present invention. When setting the Hall constant, a constant setting screen as shown is displayed on the color CRT 12 (see FIG. 3). On the constant setting screen, hall constant items such as 1 unit number 2 rental machine: are displayed.

The hall constant setter selects a platform number and selects 1
It is assumed that Hall constant data called 2-1-0-0 is input from the keyboard. 1 entered from the keyboard
2-1-0-0 is displayed in the input data area of the screen. When the unit number is selected, the number (1) at the left end (1st) of 1-2-1-0-0 indicates the leading unit number, the second number “2” indicates the actual number, and the third number The number "1" indicates the address of the internal memory, the fourth number "0" indicates the department, and the fifth number "0" indicates the connection method.

When the Hall constant item is selected, the item setting data is input, and the setting key is pressed, the constant setting program develops the Hall constant in the internal memory. The Hall constant of the internal memory is collected for each model. The constant setting program belongs to the screen control application program (see FIG. 3).

In the illustrated example, the data in the first row of the internal memory is 1 G1 P 1 10 10, but the leftmost number "1" indicates the address of the internal memory, and "G1" is the number 1 game. Machine, "P" indicates that the game machine is a pachinko game machine, the next "1" indicates the number of the island, and the next "10" indicates one entrance ball pulse and ten entrance pulses. It is shown that a ball is represented, and the next '10' indicates that one payout pulse represents 10 balls.

That is, at address 1 of the internal memory, data indicating the game machine with number 1, data indicating that the game machine is a pachinko game machine, and that game machine belonging to the island with number 1 Data indicating that one payout pulse represents 10 wins, and data indicating that one payout pulse represents 10 wins Is stored.

At address 2 of the internal memory, data indicating the game machine numbered 2, data indicating that the game machine is a pachinko game machine, and the game machine belonging to the island numbered 1 Is stored, data showing that one pay-in pulse represents 10 wins, and data showing that one pay-out pulse represents 10 wins Has been done.

At address 3 of the internal memory, data indicating the game machine of number 3, data indicating that the game machine is a medal game machine, and that the game machine belongs to the island of number 2 And the data that shows 1
Data indicating that one payout is represented and data indicating that one payout pulse represents one payout are stored.

At address 4 of the internal memory, data indicating the number 1 rental machine, data indicating that the rental machine lends pachinko balls, and that the rental machine belongs to the number 1 island Is stored, data indicating that the lending machine has the number 2, data indicating that the lending machine lends pachinko balls, and data that the lending machine belongs to the island number 1 is stored. ing. In the case of a renting machine, two pieces of information can be stored in one address, so the values of two different renting machines are expanded in the same address.

Although not shown, each address of the internal memory stores not only the information about the device constituting the pachinko hall but also the raw data of the device. In the case of a pachinko / game machine, for example, the raw data means the total value of the incoming ball pulse, the total value of the outgoing ball pulse, and the like.

The output request of the constant setting form can be made automatically / manually. For example, when it is required to store the Hall constant stored in the internal memory in the IC card 14 (see FIG. 3), an output request for the constant setting form is automatically generated.

When the output of the constant setting form is requested, the print program operates. The print program performs the following processing. The print program belongs to a print control application program (see FIG. 3). The models are searched in the order in which they are loaded in the internal memory. Pick up the necessary information from the Hall constants for each model. Edit the format according to the input method on the constant setting screen. Output the constant setting form.

In the illustrated example, the constant setting form is one unit number 1 2 1 0 0 3 1 3 1 1 0 2 lending machine 1 2 4 0 0 :.

In the case of "replacement of a new machine" or "upgrade of the hall computer", it is necessary to clear the previous setting contents stored in the internal memory and reset the Hall constant, but before that. If the constant setting form is output to, the Hall constant can be reset easily and easily by referring to this constant setting form.

[0036]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the resetting work of the hall constant in the hall computer can be performed by directly inputting the contents output to the constant setting form, Reliable and speedy resetting work becomes possible. In addition, even if a failure occurs in the hall computer, the setting environment of the hall can be easily restored by sending the constant setting form to the investigator (developer), so the time taken for failure investigation can be shortened. .
