Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine provided with a display for displaying the number of premium balls to be paid out by winning one hit ball.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the past, the number of prize balls paid out for each hit ball was mechanically measured to be 10 or 15 depending on the size of the prize ball case. A prize ball dispensing screw that is rotated by an electric actuator such as a stepping motor is provided in the ball case, and the number of prize balls to be paid out can be freely controlled by controlling the number of revolutions of the screw according to a command from the prize ball payout control board. I can do it.

As is well known, various kinds of variable winning devices and liquid crystal display, CRT display, etc. are provided on the game board surface of the pachinko machine. When a specific condition is satisfied, a command is issued from the game board control board to open the variable winning device by a solenoid, and various structures for enhancing the game are adopted, and a hit ball is won. In some cases, the number of prize balls to be paid out depends on which prize hole is won, or under what conditions, etc. I am trying to bring about.

As described above, the game contents of the recent pachinko machines can be variously changed by setting the game on the game board control board. Therefore, by exchanging the game board control board, the game machine is completely different. The game type pachinko machine can be provided.

[0005]

Therefore, the number of payout prize balls varies depending on the game board control board mounted on the pachinko machine. Conventionally, the set prize ball on the game board control board is different. Since the number could not be confirmed unless the ball was hit on a trial basis after it was mounted on the pachinko machine, there was a problem that it was not easy to confirm even if there was a mounting mistake.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a game board control board for controlling the open / closed state of a variable winning device provided on a game board surface, and an electric motor for detecting a winning ball. In a pachinko machine equipped with a prize ball payout control board that causes a prize ball payout device to pay out a predetermined number of prize balls indicated by a signal from the game board control board in a pachinko machine, the game board control to the prize ball payout control board It is characterized in that a display device is provided for displaying the number of prize balls indicated by the board.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that, in the pachinko machine equipped with the prize ball number display, the number of prize balls is displayed on the display only when the front frame is opened.

[0008]

[Function] Since the set prize ball number of the game board control board attached to the pachinko machine can be known from the display provided on the prize ball payout control board, the set prize ball number when the game board control board is replaced, etc. Can be easily checked and installation mistakes can be eliminated.
