Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention is a pachinko machine stop control system, in particular a 5K system that can set the return rate to customers for the profit balls of the parlor when the number of balls exceeds a preset value. The present invention relates to a stopping control system for a pachinko machine that performs stopping with high precision and flexibility.

Generally, in a pachinko machine, when the number of balls released (the number of balls released to the customer) minus the number of balls entered (the number of balls hit by the customer) exceeds a preset number of balls, the game is called a stop. This prevents one player from acquiring an unlimited number of pachinko balls.

By the way, it is desirable that the number of balls finally acquired by a customer when the game is stopped is as equal as possible for all players. However, according to the conventional method, in a pachinko machine where the number of balls entered is greater than the number of balls put out when the customer starts playing, when the pachinko machine reaches the end, k is the actual number of balls k. The number of balls acquired by the customer is
The set number of balls to be struck is k, which is the sum of the difference between the number of balls entered at the start and the number of balls put out at the start. This causes an error that greatly exceeds the set number of stops. That will happen.

In other words, for example, in a pachinko machine where the number of balls set to hit is 3000, if one customer continues to use one pachinko machine from the beginning and reaches the end, the number of balls acquired by that customer is However, for example, if the previous customer has already hit 2,000 balls (if another customer uses the dick machine and decides to hit the ball, the customer who hits the ball will receive 5,000 balls). becomes.

Such a situation is not desirable because the number of withdrawals is originally set to equalize the maximum number of players that one player can meet in a winning bid, which is five.

The present invention does not determine the termination of a pachinko machine based on the difference in the number of balls called due to the difference between the number of balls put out and the number of balls entered, as in the past, but the actual number of balls released to the player is determined. The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly accurate stop control method that can pay close attention to the customer by monitoring and adjusting the ratio of return to the number of balls hit by the customer.

Therefore, the pachinko machine stop control method of the present invention includes means for counting the number of balls played and the number of balls entered, a subtraction means for calculating the difference between the numbers of balls, and a cough subtraction means for each pachinko machine. In a pachinko machine stopping control method that includes means for stopping a contact pachinko machine by comparing the number of differential balls, which is an output result, with a preset stopping number, an arbitrary value can be set. It is equipped with a means for holding a roofing constant that can be set to an arbitrary value, a means for holding a seven-hit adjustment rate that can be set to an arbitrary value, and a difference in the number of balls when the number of balls in is greater than the number of balls out. If the number of balls exceeds the above-mentioned roofing constant, the actual increase in the number of balls difference after that is multiplied by the above-mentioned reset adjustment rate. In other words, the number of balls acquired by the horizontal operator is
It is characterized in that it is set to be within the range of the total value of the set number of stoppages, the roofing constant, and the yield value adjusted by the adjustment means for the increment exceeding the roofing constant. This will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

Snap connected to the control device; horizontal 1 has a ball output detector 2
and an incoming ball detector 3, the outgoing ball detector 2 detects the balls released to the customer, the incoming ball detection II 3 detects the balls driven in by the customer, and the total outgoing ball counter 4 and the total outgoing ball counter 4 of the control device, respectively. A signal is sent to the incoming ball counter 6. 11 The ball output detector 4 and the total ball input detector 6 are set to count all the balls released and received from the start of business, and the ball output detector 2, Counting of the signal from the ball entry detector 3 is not stopped.

At the start of business, the values of the total ball counter 4 and the total ball counter 6 are set to zero, and the ball output buffer 5 is set to zero.
The contents of the incoming ball buffer 7 are also set to zero. but,
When a pachinko machine that has previously stopped and is in a stopped state is released from the stopped state by an external operation such as an instruction to cancel the stopped from the console 8, the total balls counter 4 The contents of the total ball in counter 6 are transferred to the ball output buffer 5 and the ball input buffer 7, respectively.

The contents of the total ball counter 4 and the ball buffer 5 are as follows:
The 0 year old 1 subtracter 9 sent to the subtractor 9 subtracts the contents of the ball output buffer 5 from the contents of the total ball output counter 4, and cancels the previous stop (if there has been no stop, then , the number of balls released from the start of business). That is, 1 subtractor 9
The output of is k as follows.

(Total balls counter) - (Balls output buffer); Number of balls output between stops.The contents of the incoming ball counter 6 and the incoming ball buffer 7 are as follows:
It is sent to subtractor 10. The spear 2 subtractor 10 subtracts the content of the ball entry buffer 7 from the content of the ball entry kakunta 6, and calculates the value from the previous stop (if there is no stop, at the start of business). Calculate the number of balls in. That is, the output of the 2 subtractor 10 is k as follows.

(Ik entered ball kakunta) - (ball entered buffer) = number of balls entered between the stops and the result obtained by the 1 subtractor 9 and the 2nd subtractor 10 is:
It is sent to the roofing soil detector 11, and the roofing soil detector 1.1 performs the next subtraction to detect the difference in the number of balls.

(Number of balls entering between stops) - (Number of balls before stopping) = Number of difference balls This difference number of balls is input to the stoppage judgment circuit 14, and the stoppage judgment circuit 14 determines the next ball number based on the value of the difference number of balls. As such, we perform a 1° discontinuation judgment process. First, it is determined whether the difference in the number of balls is positive or negative. Then, when the difference number of balls is a negative value, its contents are compared with the contents of the stop setting number register 12. The discontinuation setting number register 12 stores and holds an arbitrary discontinuation setting number in advance, for example, by external setting. If the compared results and the number of differential balls exceed the set number of balls, a stop signal is output to the pachinko machine IK, and the game is stopped. If the difference in the number of balls is within the set number of balls to stop, the stop signal is not output.

The reset determination circuit 14 first determines whether or not the difference number of balls detected by the roofing detector 11 is a positive value, that is, whether the number of balls entered between stops is greater than the number of balls played when stopped. judge. Then, when the difference in the number of balls is a positive value, its contents are compared with the contents of the roofing constant register 13, and if the difference in the number of balls is large, a roofing soil reset signal is output. Roofing constant register 1
3 is preset with an arbitrary roofing constant such as [300J or j500J, for example. This roofing constant may be set arbitrarily at the time of design, or it may be set to an arbitrary value after entering the actual service, for example, by operation from outside the operation console 8, etc. It may be set or changed.

The increase detection circuit 16 calculates the amount of variation in the number of differential balls that is the output of the roofing soil detector 11, outputs the value only when it increases, and sends it to the multiplier 18. On the other hand, the reset adjustment rate register 17 stores an arbitrary reset adjustment rate in advance, for example, by external setting, and this reset adjustment rate is input to the multiplier 18 .

The multiplier 18 multiplies the output of the increase detection circuit 16 by the reset adjustment rate to calculate the reset difference number of balls. This number of winning balls is sent to the adder 19, and the adder 19
In , the addition with the contents of the ball receiving buffer 7 is deepened.

The result of this addition is stored in the incoming ball buffer 7 while the reset determining circuit 15 outputs the roofing soil reset signal.

In this way, when the positive difference in the number of balls exceeds the predetermined value indicated by the Fukido constant, the above seven-hit difference in the number of balls is fed back to the incoming ball buffer 7, thereby increasing the Fukito constant. For example, if the reset adjustment rate is zero, the reset difference number is always zero, so the positive difference number is Even if the constant is exceeded, it will not be reset and will be the same value as the actual number of difference balls. Further, if the reset adjustment rate is "1", all the increase exceeding the roofing constant becomes the reset difference ball number, so the positive difference ball number will not exceed the roofing constant value. In other words, the reset adjustment rate is the acquisition rate of store coins for the increase over the Fukido constant value, and conversely, subtracting the reset adjustment rate from 1 is the return rate of balls to customers. , the reset adjustment rate can also be seen as a type of return rate.

A comparison of the above-mentioned sugar fruit with the conventional method is as follows. Figure 2 shows an explanatory view of a stopping example according to the conventional method, and Figure 3 shows an explanatory view of a stopping example according to the present invention.

In Figure 2, it is assumed that the set number of balls to be stopped a is 3000 balls. According to the conventional method, for example, the previous customer continues to be negative and the total difference in number of balls is b (for example, 500 balls), and the pachinko parlor is positive, and a new customer takes his place.
Assuming that the new customer continues to win, and K is then stopped, the new customer will end up winning 8,000 balls, which will significantly exceed the set number of hits.

According to the method using the present invention, in a case similar to Figure 2, as shown in Figure 2311, the actual number of balls released at the stoppage can be adjusted depending on the soil constant, the reset adjustment rate, and k. Become. That is, for example, if the stop setting I&a is 3000
The ball, the roofing constant C is 500 balls, and the reset adjustment rate is O,
For example, suppose that the previous customer continues to play 5,000 negative balls in total, as in the case shown in the figure. However, when the difference in the number of balls exceeds 500 balls, which is the ground constant C, the number of balls exceeds 500 balls, and the number of balls is fed back by the value obtained by multiplying the excess ball by the 9 set adjustment rate.
Ball) The difference in number of balls d at the time of loss is: d = b - (b - C) x (reset adjustment rate) = 5000
-(!5ooo-soo) x O, 81400. For example, if the customer changes at this point and the new customer continues to win, the number of balls released until the negative number of balls becomes 3000 balls, which is the set number of balls to stop, is d + a = 1400 + 3000 = 4400. (ball), and is skillfully adjusted by the roofing constant and reset adjustment rate arbitrarily set in advance.

In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the reset difference number of balls is input to the adder 19 and fed back to the input buffer 7, but this is not necessarily the case. Instead, a subtractor may be provided on the ball output buffer 5 side to subtract the reset difference number of balls from the content of the ball output buffer 5. Alternatively, for example, the reset difference number of balls may be subtracted from the differential pressure detector 11. Needless to say, it is also possible to provide feedback to the user.

As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to adjust the error between the set number of balls to be played and the actual number of balls released to the customer at the time of the ball to be within a desired range, and also to When the number of balls in, which is the number of balls hit, increases to a predetermined value or more, it is possible to provide a stop control method that allows a certain percentage of the number of balls to be returned to the customer at the time of play. becomes. This is K
Therefore, the actual hitting accuracy is improved, and the limited number of balls released throughout the store can be distributed equally to more pachinko machines without being biased towards some pachinko machines, and a large number of balls can be fired. With regard to the machines that have been installed, more balls can be prepared to increase customer satisfaction.

Incidentally, the increment detection circuit 16 is composed of, for example, one buffer, a subtraction circuit, a New Year's card judgment circuit, etc., and the contents of the buffer are set to K"0" at the time of initial setting and at the time of cancellation. .

The subtraction circuit constantly compares the input data of the circuit itself with the contents of the buffer, and if the input data is greater by 1, the difference between the two data is output as the output data of the circuit. At the same time, when either a positive or negative difference is detected by the subtraction circuit, the contents of the buffer are immediately replaced with the input data, thereby creating a circuit that always outputs only the increased amount.
