Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine.

If a clerk at a pachinko parlor cancels a pachinko game after forcing a customer who has more balls than the set number of balls to stop playing pachinko, a new customer will continue playing pachinko after the previous customer. When playing a game, there is an inconvenience that the game is stopped even though the player has taken fewer balls than the set number of balls. Also, if you change the number of balls set during business hours, the relationship between the new set number of balls and the number of balls actually climbed will be incorrect depending on the difference in the number of balls at the time of the change, and the number of balls will be higher than the set number of balls. There are cases where this happens.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko game machine that can improve the above-mentioned drawbacks and allow players to correctly stop the game.

The present invention will be described below by way of examples with reference to the drawings.

A saucer 22 for storing pachinko balls and a firing handle 25 are provided at the bottom of the pachinko machine 20, and the handle 25 can be rotated. The motor 24 is actuated and the tray 22 flicks the rolling pachinko balls one by one with the handle 25 and drives them along the guide rail 25. There is a shutter 2 in the ball passage between the device and the
6 is provided, and this shutter 26 is activated to block the ball passage when the ball is stopped. A prize ball ejecting device 27 is provided on the back side of the pachinko game machine 20, and pachinko balls are supplied to the prize ball ejecting device 27 from a ball distribution gutter (not shown) through an introduction pipe 2B. A stopper 72 is provided near the exit of the introduction pipe 28 for closing the exit of the introduction pipe 2B when the pachinko game machine 20 is opened or controlled by the controller 21.

The prize ball discharge device 27 is driven via the controller 21 when the detection devices 541 to 54, 5 output ball detection signals, and discharges the prize balls to the tray 22. Pachinko balls that overflow from the tray introduction lower 1 when the tray 22 is full of pachinko balls are guided to the guide gutter 29 and sent through the opening 51 to the lower tray 5.
It is stored in o.

The pachinko balls that have passed through the safe holes 1 to 14 and the out hole 15 are collectively discharged to the outside through a discharge pipe 52.

A data display section 55 is provided on the front side of the pachinko game machine 20, and this data display section 55 displays data such as incoming balls and outgoing balls from the controller 21 in numbers.

If a pachinko ball enters the seventh hole, the controller 21
Under this control, not only the prize balls are ejected from the prize ball ejecting device @27, but also the electric accessories are driven. At the top of the pachinko game machine 20, a prize ball display device 54 and a stoppage display device 35, which also serve as an abnormality display device, are provided.

Next, the control system of this embodiment will be explained. As shown in FIG. 5, the controller 21 includes a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 40 including an input/output port door, and a RAM 4.
2. A computer consisting of ROM 45 and a counter 4
11 to 4115, prize ball device drive circuit 44, prize ball counter 58, operation recognition device 46, and prize ball top comparison circuit 47
, a pachinko soil total counter 48 , a pachinko soil stop setting number comparison circuit 49 , and a confirmation circuit 50 that detects the operation of the pachinko game machine 20 by checking the presence or absence of pachinko balls in the saucer 22 and the presence or absence of a handle operation. and an attached game machine operation determination device 51. Counter 41. ~41
15 counts the ball detection signals from the detection devices @541 to 5415, respectively, and the CPU 40 counts the ball detection signals from the detection devices @541 to 5415, respectively. Each count value of 4115 to 4115 is taken in and stored in order. The ball detection switch 55 is a switch that detects the presence or absence of pachinko balls in the tray 22, for example, and is attached to the tray 22. The confirmation circuit 5o receives a detection signal from the ball detection switch 55 or receives the detection signal from the counter 41. The operation of the pachinko game machine 20 is detected by confirming that any one of the steps 4115 to 4115 is performing a counting operation, that is, there are pachinko balls in the tray 22 or that the handle 25 is being operated. CPU 40 is R
Input signals are processed and output signals are output using the RAM 42 according to the program in the OM 45, and the operation recognition device 46 is activated by a signal from the confirmation circuit 50. The CPU 40 also operates a counter 41. It is determined that the pachinko balls have entered the safe holes 11 to 14 from the count value of ~41.4, and the prize ball device drive circuit 44 is activated, and the prize ball device drive circuit 44 drives the prize ball discharge device 27. At the same time as the prize ball is ejected, the light emitting acoustic display device 54A is driven to display the ejection of the prize ball, and the accessory drive device 61 is further activated to drive the electric accessory 62.

The electric accessory 62 is a tulip or an attached game machine, and the attached game machine operation determination device 51 determines whether the operating conditions of the attached game machine are satisfied and sends a signal to the CPU 40 to display the prize ball counter 58. Perform processing such as changing setting values. The CPU 40 sets the set number of prize balls in the prize ball counter 5B, and the number of pachinko balls ejected from the prize ball ejecting device 27 is counted by the prize ball ejected ball counter 65, and the counted value is sent to the prize ball top comparison circuit. At step 47, it is compared with the set value of the prize ball counter 5B. When the count value of the prize ball ejected ball counter 65 is greater than the pupil of the prize ball counter 5B, the output signal of the prize ball top comparison circuit 47 causes the abnormality display device 54B and the light emitting
At the same time as the sound display device @65 is activated, the shutter 26 is activated to disable the pachinko game.

CPU 40 counters 411-411. The difference between the number of pachinko balls that were ejected as prize balls and the number of pachinko balls that were entered, that is, the number of pachinko balls that the customer hit into the pachinko machine 20, is calculated by counting the difference between 4BK is counted, and the counted value is compared with the set number of construction starts and stops in a set number comparison circuit 49. When the count value of the difference counter 48 reaches the set stop number, the output signal of the roofing soil/stop set number comparison circuit 49 is output as a stop signal, the light emitting/acoustic display device 55 is activated, and at the same time the shutter is activated. 26 is activated, making it impossible to play pachinko. CPU 40 is counter 41
The values of 1 to 41, 5 are taken in, data such as balls entered and balls put out are calculated, and these data are displayed on the display section 2. When the stop release switch 69 is turned on, the signal from this switch 69 is As a result, the data such as the ball in and ball out calculated between the stop and the stop are cleared, and the total cover counter 48 is cleared. Finally, the CPU 40 is the digital switch 7
5 is set in the roofing soil/stop setting number comparison circuit 49, and therefore, the set stop number can be arbitrarily changed by the digital switch 5. .

When the stop switch 70 is turned on and a forced stop is applied, the CPU 40 turns on the stop switch 70 as shown in FIG.
The supply of balls is stopped by detecting the signal from 0 and operating the shutter 26 and simultaneously operating the stopper 72. Also, when the number of stop settings is changed by the digital switch 75 and special addition is made, the CPU 40
Clears the data such as ball entry and ball output, clears the soil total counter 4B, deactivates the stopper 72, and starts supplying balls. Further, when the forced stop is canceled by the stop cancel switch 69 after the forced stop is applied, the CPU
40 clears data such as entering and exiting balls, clears the soil total counter 48, and deactivates the stopper 72 to start replenishing balls as in normal correction cancellation.

As described above, according to the present invention, the pachinko is cleared by canceling the forced stop, so a new customer after the forced stop is forced to start playing pachinko from a state where the pachinko is zero. It will be stopped in numbers. Also, if you change the number of stop settings, if you try to force a stop, the amount of roofing soil will be zero, so the new number of stop settings will be used.
