DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of the pachinko game arcade, and FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the respective installed devices. In the figure, 1, 1, 1,... Are pachinko machines, 2, 2, 2,... Are input / output devices provided in each of the pachinko machines, and 3A to 3D are pachinko machines 1, 1, 1, on both sides. .. Are arranged in parallel, 4A to 4D are island management devices provided for each of the installation islands, and 5A, 5B, and 5C travel along a traveling line 7 through a passage 6 provided between the installation islands. A radio-controlled traveling vehicle 8 that can travel is a centralized management device provided in a part of the pachinko game hall. Reference numeral 9 denotes a machine for renting balls between pachinko machines.

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4, the input / output device 2 comprises a CPU (central control unit) comprising a storage unit, a calculation unit, a calculation processing control unit, and an output control unit.
The game information such as the out ball counting signal, the winning ball counting signal, and the big hit occurrence signal of the pachinko machine is input and stored through the counter, and the operation signal of the Taima ball lending machine 9 is input and stored. Further, the CPU is connected to a liquid crystal touch panel board 10 provided on an upper part of each pachinko machine 1 as shown in FIG. The output control section of the CPU and the audio output speaker 11 constitute an audio guidance device. Reference numeral 12 denotes a display lamp which is turned on in accordance with a command from the output control unit of the CPU.

As shown in FIG. 3, the liquid crystal touch panel board 10 has vehicle call keys 13 to 16 on which "ball exchange", "ball box", "exchange", "service" and the like are displayed.
Are subdivided according to the purpose of the call, and the player can call a traveling vehicle described later by touching the displayed portion with a fingertip according to the purpose.
Reference numeral 17 denotes a clerk call key displayed on the liquid crystal touch panel board 10. When a player touches these call keys at the time of display, the call signal is provided for each of the installation islands, transmitted to the island management devices 4A to 4D through signal lines, and transmitted to the island management devices 4A to 4D. Figure 4
As shown in (1), the call signal and the game information transmitted from the input / output device of each pachinko machine are arranged and stored for each pachinko machine, and these signals are transmitted by radio from a transmission / reception unit via radio waves.

The radio waves transmitted from the island management devices 4A to 4D are received by the transmission / reception unit of the central management device 8 shown in FIG. The centralized management device 8 includes a personal computer having a CPU, an external storage device such as a magnetic disk, a CRT display, a printer, and a keyboard. The centralized management device 8 receives signals such as game information received from a transmission / reception unit based on a predetermined management program. The arithmetic processing is performed, the data of each pachinko machine is stored on a magnetic disk or the like, the analysis data or the like can be displayed on a CRT display and a printer, and when a calling signal is received, the three traveling vehicles 5A to 5C are displayed. The transmission / reception unit transmits a command wirelessly to the traveling vehicle located near the pachinko machine of the transmission source and serving the purpose of the call so that the vehicle travels to the pachinko machine of the transmission source. . Further, when the clerk's calling signal is received, the calling signal is received by the portable receiver owned by the employee, and the employee can be directed to the pachinko machine of the transmission source.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the control system of the traveling vehicles 5A to 5C, and FIG.
A transmission / reception unit of a radio wave is connected to an input / output control unit comprising a CPU, receives a call signal transmitted from the central control device 8 by radio, analyzes the contents of the call signal, and determines whether or not the call can be served. The response signal for the case where the response can be made and the case where the response cannot be made are wirelessly transmitted by the central control device 8 from the transmitting / receiving section. Upon receiving this response signal, the central control device 8 wirelessly transfers the response signal to the island management devices 4A to 4D again, displays a message such as "Please wait" on the LCD touch panel board 10 of the calling pachinko machine, and outputs a voice. The output speaker 11 gives voice guidance to that effect.

Each of the traveling vehicles 5A to 5C has a vehicle trajectory control device capable of automatically traveling along a traveling line 7 of a passage 6 by automatically steering the wheels, and has a structure shown in FIG.
, The ball boxes 20, 20,..., The ball counter 21,
A money changer 22 and a bending device 23 are mounted, and operation signals of the vehicle track control device and each of the mounted devices are input to and output from the input / output control unit of the traveling vehicle so as to be automatically controlled. Reference numeral 24 denotes a receipt issuing port of the ball counter 21.

For this reason, the traveling vehicle that has received the call signal travels along the traveling line 7 to the installation position of the pachinko machine of the calling source while avoiding collision with other players, obstacles, and the like. Lent a ball box 20 according to the request of the original player, change balls using a ball counter 21, use a currency changer 22, or use a bending device 23 tobacco, coffee, towel, etc. Service products can be provided or sold.

Each of the traveling vehicles 5A to 5C is provided with a ball counter 21.
Is provided with a tank (not shown) for accommodating the pachinko balls collected by the pachinko ball, and when the pachinko balls are full in the tank, the pachinko balls among the islands 3A to 3D are in shortage. By traveling to an installation island in the area and supplying pachinko balls to the installation island, the excess and deficiency of pachinko balls circulating on each installation island is eliminated.

[0013]

As described above, in the pachinko game hall according to the present invention, the traveling vehicle equipped with the ball counter and the like travels to the installation position of the pachinko machine in response to the call of the player. In addition, the player can receive the desired service without leaving the pachinko machine, and also has a beneficial effect that the burden on the employees can be reduced and labor can be saved.
