In the flowchart of FIG. 4, a print screen is provided in each of S112, S119, S121, and S124, and a game result screen is provided in each of S118 and S123. It is provided for convenience, and the screen is composed of one screen. Further, each of the menu screens 1 to 5 in the above embodiment may be constituted by individual screens as in the above embodiment, or may be constituted by appropriately combining the respective screens.

Next, an example of a method of transferring points during an actual mahjong game will be described with reference to FIG. First,
As shown in FIG. 6, for example, if West House W softens by 8000 points, East House E pays 4000 points to West House W and South House S
And Kita N pay 2,000 points to Nishi W, respectively. In the case of the East House E, for example, the arrow key 21 is pressed after pressing the thousand point key 26 four times, and in the case of the South House S and the North House N, for example, two thousand point keys 26 are pressed.
After the first push, the south family S presses the arrow key 22 and the north family N presses the arrow key 20.

The east family E, the south family S, and the north family N are provided with predetermined score keys 24-28 at the input unit 9b of each display unit 5.
When a predetermined arrow key 20 to 22 is pressed, input data corresponding to the key operation is input to the CPU 3 of each display unit 5.
The input is input to the CPU 40 from the input / output units 41a, 41b, 41d of the control unit 6 via the input / output unit 6 and the input / output unit 39. The CPU 40 of the control unit 6 includes East House E, South House S,
The respective points (and the total points) input from the display unit 5 corresponding to the northern house N are output to the display unit 5 of the western house W via the input / output unit 41c, and the LCD display 3 is displayed.
1 is displayed.

The game player of Nishiie W checks the number of payment points displayed on the screen of his / her LCD display 31, and if there is no mistake, the arrow key 20 of the input unit 9b of the display unit 5
Key after pressing ~ 22 (all or one)
push. The points to be transferred are determined by the pressing operation of the receiving key 23 of the west house W, and the control unit 6
The message Me saying "paid 4000 points" was sent to the LCD display 31 of the home, and the message M saying "paid 2000 points" was sent to the LCD displays 31 of the south family S and the north family N.
s, Mn, and “8” on the LCD display 31 of Nishiie W.
000 points have been received "is displayed.

Further, the control unit 6 moves the west house W from the possessed point to 40
The 2000 points are subtracted from the points of the 00 family, the south family S and the north family N, and 8000 points are added to the west family W. Then, the control unit 6 uses the points obtained by the subtraction and the addition as the total points of each house (each place) in the RAM.
42 is temporarily stored. This means that the points have been passed without the point bar.

In the case where the transfer is made not by the transfer but by the transfer, the points are transferred between the transferred player and the transferred player in the same manner as described above, and similarly in the case of coins. Will be handed over. When the specific point keys 24 to 28 are exchanged, the security key 19 is used.
Or by passing the same amount of points.

As described above, according to the point totalizing and displaying apparatus 1 of the above embodiment, points can be transferred by operating the keys of the input units 9a and 9b of the display unit 5 provided in each scene. Eliminates the need to use sticks. As a result, the opening / closing plate 4 of the tile surface 2a of the automatic mahjong table 2 shown in FIG.
A trouble occurs in the automatic mahjong table 2, for example, a dot stick falls into the main body part 4 from the five parts, and the dot stick is caught between the upper and lower plates 46 for tile pile and the opening to cause a failure of the tile setter mechanism. Can be reliably prevented.

In particular, by eliminating the trouble of the tile setter mechanism having a complicated structure related to the point stick, the burden of repair work and the like due to the trouble is greatly reduced, and the automatic mahjong table 2 is used for business purposes. A great effect can be expected in such cases.

The display unit 5 attached to each scene
Is provided with a receiving key 23, and the transfer of the points is not determined unless the receiving key 23 is pressed, so that the points can be transferred without fail without a point bar, and the point bar as in the related art is used. Since there is no loss or the point stick falls into the main body 4 of the automatic mahjong table 2, interruption of the mahjong game related to the point stick can be reliably prevented.

Further, since the point keys 24 to 28 corresponding to the points of the point bar are used as keys for inputting the points to be paid, the point keys 24 to 28 must be used in the same sense as the conventional point bar. The number of keys on the input units 9a and 9b can be minimized, and the operability of keys can be improved.

Also, based on the menu screen displayed on the relatively large LCD display 31 provided on the display unit 5, the operation of various keys allows the mahjong game to proceed almost automatically, so that the Can be more reliably and easily transferred, and the setting operation of various rules of the mahjong game can be easily performed. In addition, since the setting registration of the gamer can be selected and registered from the group name, the setting registration can be easily performed, and a fictitious name such as Sengoku warlord can be used. ) Can be increased.

Further, for example, the game result (score) can be displayed on the LCD display 31 after the villa has been completed, or can be printed by the printer 8 if necessary. Therefore, it is necessary to perform each calculation for each villa. Instead, the score of each gamer can be grasped at a glance. In addition, since the score is calculated by the CPU 40 of the control unit 6, accurate score calculation is possible, and various game conditions (rules) are set.
Can be performed accurately and quickly even for complicated calculations including

When the player reaches the reach, the melody sound is emitted from the display unit 5 and the reach position indicator 34 is turned on, so that the other players can be surely notified of the reach. it can. Also,
Since the control unit 6 has a function of automatically backing up data in the event of a power outage, the progress can be printed by the printer 8 after the power outage is restored, and resetting can be performed to continue the mahjong game. Invalidation of the mahjong game (deletion of unintended data) can be prevented as much as possible.

Further, by selecting the point disclosure permitted on the rule setting screen, the points held by other players can be displayed on the LCD display 31 during the mah-jong game and can be confirmed. It is not necessary to inquire the scores of other gamers one by one in words, and it is not necessary for the inquired gamers to count each point bar, so that the player's points can be easily grasped by key operation. These facts make it possible to play the game itself accurately and smoothly as compared with the conventional mahjong game using a stick.

Since the start time and the end time of the game are automatically stored in the control unit 6, the use time of the automatic mahjong table 2 can be automatically measured and printed.
