The number of pachinko balls (effective number of balls hit) of the customer is stored at the address location.

Therefore, when a customer selects a pachinko machine 1 and sets a card 45, the effective number of balls to be hit recorded on the card 45 is stored in the address position of the memory circuit 79 corresponding to that pachinko machine 1. plays a game, and the effective number of balls hit that changes as a result is rewritten to the same address, which is read out by the end operation of the switch 18, sent onto the data bus 83, added to the card reader 19, and magnetically recorded on the card 45. be done.

Furthermore, the ball lending machine 52 and the payment machine 6o are also connected to the central control device 65 in the same way as the pachinko machine 1.
The counter 86 of the ball lending machine 52 is connected to the ball lending total number memory circuit 89 via the addition circuit 38, and also to the register 8 of the adjustment machine 60.
7 is a memory circuit 91 for the total number of settled balls via an adder circuit 9o.
The total of each memory count 88.91 is displayed on each display 92.93, and the difference between these is displayed via the addition/subtraction counter 94 in the total memory circuit 95.
The winning ball data is input into the circuit 95, and is totaled together with the prize ball data from the memory circuit 82, and displayed on the display 96 as the current sales.

The pachinko machine 1 will be described again.

The zero detection circuit 76 of the pachinko machine 1 generates an output when the addition/subtraction value by the counter 72 becomes zero and the effective number of balls hit is displayed as zero on the display 3. The solenoid 48 is moved back through the
By engaging the hook bar 47 with the long rod 42, the stop arm 38 is locked, and the stopper 33 stops the pachinko ball 1.
The end detection circuit 77 stores the total number of prize balls of the same machine 1, and this value indicates the predetermined number of pachinko balls to end the game (for example, 3000 pachinko balls). When the number of prize balls reached is reached, an output is generated from the circuit 77, which locks the stop arm 38 via the solenoid 48 and ends the game, as described above.Generally, the total number of prize balls of the pachinko machine 1 is This is the total number of prize balls per day in No. 1.

In addition, an emergency detector 97 is connected to each detector 49, 50, 51 and detection circuit 76, 77 of the pachinko machine 1,
It is configured so that a notification can be output when any of the functions stops due to a failure or the like.

Next, the power supply device 60 will be explained. This device 66 is for supplying power to each of the above-mentioned devices 1, 52, 60, and 65, and includes an AC power supply circuit 98 including a rectifier, and a gate 99 consisting of a flip-flop or the like. and a power outage compensation battery 100. Under normal conditions, the battery 100 is charged through the gate 99, and in the event of a power outage, the power of the charged battery 100 is transmitted through the gate 99 to each device 1.
The circuit is configured to provide an emergency supply to 52, 60 and 65.

Next, the operation of each of the above-mentioned devices 1, 52, 60, and 65 will be comprehensively explained.

A customer who visits the store first inserts coins into the ball rental machine 52, operates a switch 59, and receives a card 45 on which the desired number of pachinko balls is recorded.

During this time, the number of man-hours equivalent to the input amount is written into the memory circuit 39 and stored in the memory 95.

Then, the customer takes this card 45 and goes to any pachinko machine 1.
, and insert the card 45 into the card reader 19 of the pachinko machine 1.

At this time, the number of pachinko balls written on the card 45 is counted by the counter 72 and displayed as the effective number of balls to be hit on the display 3, and the solenoid 48 is moved forward to unlock the stop arm 3B. Pachinko balls 12 are sent to the starting end of a rail 13 via a sending boat 25.

Further, the effective number of balls to be hit is stored in the address position of this pachinko machine 1 in the memory circuit 79.

There, the customer starts the game, and when the pachinko balls 12 are sent to the starting end of the rail 13, a shot ball detector 51 senses this, subtracts it with a counter 72, and displays the remaining number on a display 3.

When a pachinko ball 12 is hit with a hammer 14 through a handle 16, it becomes a foul ball and returns on the rail 13, and the ball 12 enters a foul ball passage 24 and returns to the ball hitting case 11.

At this time, the foul ball is detected by the detector 50, which is added up by the counter 72, and displayed on the display 3 as the effective number of balls hit.

Moreover, the ball hit by operating the handle 16 flies into the game board 2,
If this enters any of the safe holes 5..., this ball 1
2 is detected by the safe ball detector 49, the lamp 4 is turned on, and the bell 23 is sounded.

Then, the number of prize balls (safe balls x 15) is determined by the addition circuit 70.
are counted by the counter 72 and displayed on the display 3.

The contents of each count by the counter 72 described above are written to the collusion 1 address position of the memory circuit 79 via the scanning circuit 80 and the address circuit 81.

When the customer wants to end the game on that machine 1, press switch 1.
8 to remove the card 45.

By operating the switch 18 at this time, the effective number of balls hit recorded in the memory circuit 79 with the same content as the display 3 is output to the card reader 19, and when the card 45 is returned, the card reader 19 displays the final effective number of balls hit. The data is written to the card 45, and the contents are added and stored in the end detection circuit 11.

Further, when the counter 72 stops, the solenoid 48 moves back through the zero detection circuit 76 to lock the stop arm 38.
The stopper 33 prevents the pachinko balls 12 from flowing in and circulating.

When each of the above-mentioned players stops playing the game on the above-mentioned machine 1, takes the removed card 45 and goes to another machine 1, and inserts the above-mentioned card 45 into the card reader 19 of that machine 1, the information is recorded on this machine as described above. The number of pachinko balls being played is displayed on the display 3 as the effective number of balls hit in the same manner as described above, and the game can be played in the same manner.

When the number of pachinko balls (effective number of balls hit) on the card 45 becomes zero, the solenoid 48 is activated via the zero detection circuit 76, and the supply of pachinko balls 12 is stopped by the stopper 33, thereby ending the card game.

Further, when the total number of prize balls (total of the final valid number of balls hit by six customers) of the pachinko machine 1 by the returning customers reaches the number of completed games of this machine 1, the solenoid 48 is activated via the end detection circuit 77. Activate it, the game ends, and at this time the customer has card 4.
You can pull out 5 and go to the other machine 1 to continue the game.

Finally, the customer takes the card 45 and goes to the prize exchange area in the store, and the staff inserts the card 45 into the payment machine 60.

At this time, the final number of pachinko balls recorded on the card 45 is displayed on the display 61. This card can be exchanged for a corresponding prize, and the number of pachinko balls is added and stored in the memory circuit 91. is subtracted and stored in the memory circuit 95.

For this reason, the movement of all pachinko balls (number of balls owed - number of paid balls - current number of prize balls of the pachinko machine) is totaled in the memory circuit 95 using input data from each memory circuit 82, 89, 91.
These conditions can be read on each display 92, 93, 96.

Note that the above-mentioned zero detection circuit 76 and end detection circuit 77 may be connected to, for example, a memory circuit 79 of the central control device 65, and each memory circuit 79, 82, 89 of the device 65
, 91.95 can also be formed by a single memory circuit equivalent to these, and it goes without saying that the connections of each block in FIG. 7 are an example of signal delivery and are not limited thereto.

As described in detail above, in the present invention, the detector 51 is arranged at the end of the standby ball gutter 32 near the rail 13, so that only the number of balls actually played can be determined by the handle operation. It is possible to eliminate the disadvantages of conventional devices (for example, the one described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 52-80934), in which the number of balls that are not actually used for play is subtracted every time the handle is flicked. can.

Further, the present invention provides the safe hole 5 in the pachinko machine 1.
A safe ball case 7 and an out ball case 8 are provided on each back side of the out hole 6, and a foul ball passage 24 is connected to the hitting ball case 11 that communicates each case 7. Without using a ball or out ball tank, by hitting the pachinko ball 12 with the hammer 14 linked to the handle 16, the pachinko ball 12 becomes either a safe ball, an out ball, or a foul ball, and due to this natural fall. Returning to the hitting ball case 11, the movement of the pachinko balls 12 is converted into a digital signal, counted and stored, and this is written or read on the magnetic card 45 to play the game in the same manner as before. Of course, the game can be played with a small number of pachinko balls 12, and since the pachinko balls 12 naturally fall and circulate, the structure of the pachinko machine 1 can be easily modified, and the number of pachinko balls is recorded on the magnetic card 45. The electric circuit that is the control system can be configured very easily, and in particular, it is equipped with a centralized control means that scans a large number of pachinko machines 1 at high speed and exchanges data in correspondence with these pachinko machines 1.
