In addition, the control unit 3 is provided with a function of determining whether or not the remaining amount of the prepaid card is equal to or more than the minimum ball lending (for example, 500 yen).
Further, the ball lending mechanism section 2 is provided with a ball rental request key 25 and a balance display (not shown). When the remaining amount of the prepaid card is, for example, 500 yen or more, by pressing this ball lending request key 25, a ball lending request signal is given to the ball lending discharge control means 31 of the control unit 3, and the control unit sends the ball lending request signal. The ball rental dispenser 23 is configured to discharge the number of balls corresponding to the ball lending amount of 500 yen by the control signal.

When a prepaid card is inserted, the balance of the card is displayed on the balance display for the customer. When the remaining amount after the previous ball rental request is 500 yen or more, the ball rental request signal is again given to the control unit 3 based on the pressing of the ball lending request key 25, and the prepaid after the ball rental request is made. The balance of the card is displayed on the balance display.

In this way, when the bill discriminator 14 discriminates genuine bills by coin insertion or prepaid card insertion, the coin discriminator 15 discriminates genuine coins, or the prepaid card inserted into the prepaid card reader / writer 16. When the ball rental request key 25 is pressed when it is determined that the remaining amount is equal to or more than the predetermined amount, the received amount, that is, the amount signal of 1,000 yen, 500 yen, or 100 yen, respectively, is the sales totalizing means of the control unit 3. 32 and a card processing machine B described later.

The sales totalizing means 32 is for totaling the amount of ball rental fee received by the ball lending machine. At the end of business, it is necessary to collect this sales total amount at the total center of the amusement park. The gathering method is not particularly limited. Sales data may be collected in a wireless data collector using the communication control means 33, or may be transferred from the ball lending machine A to a central management device provided in a game island or a total center in a game arcade. You may do it. When the ball rental machine A collects the sales data of the ball rental machine A and collects it at the collection center regularly or when requested, the ball rental machine A receives the ball rental amount signal every time it collects from the customer. It is given to the card processing machine B using an interface connecting the renting machine A and the card processing machine B.

However, when collecting and totalizing the sales data of each ball lending machine by the host computer provided in each gaming island or the host computer which controls all the ball lending machines in the amusement arcade, the amount of money received by the player When is determined, the sales data of the received amount is transferred to the host computer via the communication control means 33 and the communication device 5 each time. Therefore, when the sales data is transferred from the ball lending machine to the host computer, the card processing machine B can detect and capture the amount signal by the detector D provided in the transfer line.

As shown in FIG. 2, the card processing machine B has a card reader / writer 6 having a card insertion / ejection opening 61 opened at the front and a point indicator 7 provided at the front.
And a card return request key 8 provided on the front. The card reader / writer 6 conveys the card detector 62 provided in the card insertion / ejection port 61 and the point card inserted in the card insertion / ejection port to a predetermined position and ejects the card again to the card insertion / ejection port. Mechanism 63
And a read / write head 64 for reading / writing data from / to the point card.
When the card transport mechanism is not used, it is sufficient to use a suction / discharge mechanism that only takes in and ejects the card to the position of the read / write head. In that case, a head moving means (not shown) for moving the read / write head 64 back and forth within a range of a distance for performing a read / write operation with respect to a predetermined recording position of the card.
Is provided.

The card processing machine B further has a control section 9 and a storage section 10. The control unit 9 includes a conveyance control unit 91,
Read / write control means 92, point calculation means 93a,
It has point management means 93b, display control means 94, and communication control means 95. In addition, the first of the storage unit 10
The storage unit 10a stores a system program and a working program for the control unit 9 to perform a required point writing operation, which will be described later, as well as an upper limit value (Y) of points that can be recorded in one point card, and a game. The standard amount of ball lending that pays 1 point to a person,
It is preset and stored. Further, display information such as characters displayed on the point display 7 is stored. The second memory 10b temporarily stores the points read from the inserted point card, the ball lending amount received from the ball lending machine A, and the points after the addition processing.

Next, the operation of the point service device based on the above configuration, particularly the operation of the card processor B will be mainly described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Customers who come to the amusement arcade first use a prize exchange counter, etc.
Receive the point card designated by the store. Then, before the player starts the game on the pachinko machine, the point card is inserted into the card insertion port 11 of the card processing machine B. Based on the detection signal from the card detector 12 (Y in S1), the transfer control means 91 of the control section 9 gives a control signal to the card transfer mechanism 13 to transfer the point card to a predetermined position and read it during that time. The point (X) recorded on the point card is read by the writing control means 92 and stored in the second storage means 10b of the storage unit 10 (S2).

The point management means 93b judges whether the read point (X) has reached the upper limit value (Y) stored in the first storage means 10a, for example, 100 (S3), and the upper limit value is set. When it is determined that the value has reached (X = Y), the upper limit value determination signal is output to the reading control means (not shown) and the conveyance control means 91. Based on this, the read control means reads, for example, “FUL”, such as a character or a symbol indicating that the upper limit value is reached, from the display information stored in the storage unit 10, and the display control means. The display control means displays "FUL" on the display device 2 in order to give it to 94 (S4). Further, the read control means reads the point (X) just read from the second storage means 10b, gives it to the read / write control means 92, and records it on the card (S5). On the other hand, the transportation control means 91 causes the card transportation mechanism 63 to return the point card to the card insertion / ejection port 61 (S6). Therefore, the original points are recorded on the point card and returned. When the card is returned, the accumulated points stored in the second storage means 10b are erased (S7). Then, it returns to step S1 again. When the number of points on the card reaches the upper limit, the player receives a new point card at the prize exchange counter or the like and returns, and the card insertion / ejection slot 11 of the same ball lending machine.
You can continue playing by inserting into.

The points recorded in the point card by the point management means 93b have not reached the upper limit (X
When it is determined to be <Y (N in S3), the points recorded on the point card are displayed on the point display 7 based on the determination signal (S8), and then the customer pays by the point calculation means 93a. The amount of ball rental fee (ball rental amount) is the minimum amount for point benefits, for example 500
It is judged whether or not it becomes a yen based on the sum of the amount signals received from the ball lending machine A (S9), and when it reaches 500 yen,
A predetermined point, for example, 1 point is added to the point (X) read from the point card (S10).

Subsequent to the addition process, the ball lending amount received from the ball lending and receiving section 3 of the ball lending machine A and accumulated (500
Clear) (S10). It is checked in step S11 whether the card return request key 8 has been pressed. If the return request key has not been pressed, the process returns to step S3.
In this way, until the point management means 93b determines that the points have reached the upper limit value, the point calculation means 93a clears the ball rental amount that has been received until then when one point is added, and then receives from the ball lending machine A. The ball rental fee collection unit 1 newly accumulates the ball rental amount, and the amount is 50
Every time you get 0 yen, add 1 point.

If the card return request key 8 is pressed before the point accumulated in the point card reaches the upper limit value (Y in S12), the process jumps to step S5 and the addition result up to that point is reached. After recording on the card,
The card control mechanism 91 drives the card transfer mechanism 63 to return the point card to the card insertion / ejection port 61 (S6). Also in this case, the accumulated points in the second storage means 10b are deleted (S7).

As described above, the point card returned when the point reaches the upper limit value or the point card returned at the end of the game or during the game by the operation of the return request key is used by the customer at the prize exchange counter. It is possible to submit to a staff member and receive a gift (for example, food and drink or cigarettes consumed during a game) corresponding to the points recorded in the point card. The clerk inserts the point card received from the customer into a point settlement machine equipped with a card reader, which is provided at the prize exchange counter, displays the recorded points on the display section of the point settlement machine, and confirms You can donate the prizes you request.

The total amount of ball lending (ball rental amount) paid by the player at the ball lending machine A is totaled by the sales totalizing means 32, and the total amount is calculated every time the point card is returned. The calculation result is stored in the storage unit 4. The total value of all the players of this ball lending machine is stored in the storage unit 4, and after the business is closed, is taken in to a known data totalizer by remote control via the communication control means 32 and the communication device 5, or It is transferred to the aggregation center of the game hall via the communication line.

In the above embodiment, the number of points given to one point card is limited by the upper limit value. However, when the points are only recorded by magnetic data, it is not necessary to limit the number of points. In this case, the point management means 93b becomes unnecessary. The point card is returned to the card insertion / ejection slot 61 only when the customer presses the card return request key 6. On the other hand, when the points are recorded as magnetic data in the card points and the point marks are printed, the printing range is limited, so the number of points must be limited as in the above example.

The card processor B which prints the point mark will be described. The card processor B in this case is provided with a printer 65 in the card reader / writer, that is, in the middle of the card transport path, as shown by the chain line in FIG. Means (not shown)
Is provided. Then, when the point management means 93b outputs the upper limit value determination signal or when the card return request key is pressed, the read control means causes the second storage means 1 to operate.
Read the points added after inserting the 0b card,
In order to give this to the print control means, a number of point marks corresponding to the added points are printed on the printer. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, in step S5, the point mark is printed before or after the point recording.

Regarding the points to be provided when the ball rental amount reaches the predetermined amount, the predetermined amount and the number of points can be arbitrarily set according to the needs of the amusement hall. Also,
For example, when a certain ball rental amount is reached, or on a particular anniversary, it is possible to provide points that are a multiple of those in other cases. In addition, the number of settlements is recorded and updated each time the settlement is performed by the point settlement machine while the points are "FUL", and the number of settlements read from the point card inserted in the ball lending machine reaches a predetermined number, for example, 10 times. In addition, it is also possible to configure so that a predetermined point is additionally provided.

[0035]

As described above, according to the invention described in claim 1, the latter directly receives the ball lending amount information from the former by simply connecting the card processing machine to the ball lending machine which has been widely used. Alternatively, by indirectly receiving from the communication line to the totaling center, points corresponding to the ball lending amount of the player can be recorded on the point card inserted by the customer and returned. Therefore, the introduction of the point service business can be realized at low cost. Then, until the customer finishes the game, the points corresponding to the ball lending amount are recorded in one point card, so that the number of recording media that the customer has during the game can be minimized. Therefore, since it is convenient for customers to store cards and exchange points for prizes, the effect of attracting customers can be obtained, and the staff at the prize counter at the amusement park can also quickly and surely confirm points and give gifts. As a result, the burden on the staff involved in the point service work is small. In addition, since the point card can be reused, the operating cost of the point service operation can be saved and the management can be rationalized.

Further, each time the player's ball lending amount reaches a predetermined amount, a predetermined point corresponding to the ball lending amount is recorded and accumulated in the point card, so if the customer stops the game, the ball lending amount is allocated. Since it is expected to stop after reaching the fixed amount, the effect of promoting sales can be obtained.

Furthermore, the points recorded on the point card inserted by the customer are read and displayed on the point display, and a predetermined point is added each time the ball lending amount paid by the customer reaches a predetermined amount. Since the added points are displayed on the point display, the credit level of the player's point service is enhanced, which contributes to the fixation of the customer.

According to the ball lending machine of claim 3, since the number of point marks corresponding to the points recorded on the point card is printed, the customer inserts the point card into the point reader or the point settlement machine. There is the convenience that you can recognize the acquisition point from the card itself without doing. Also, when the points recorded on the inserted point card are the upper limit value, or when the point reaches the upper limit due to the increase in the ball lending amount, that fact is displayed on the point display and the card is returned. Therefore, the customer can know the reason why the card has been returned, and when the limit of the printing range is reached, the point card is automatically returned to prevent invalid printing of the point mark.
