Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention is a gaming machine in which medals are inserted, a game is played using an electronic circuit, and medals are paid out according to a certain multiplier as a result of the game, regardless of whether before or after the game ends. This invention relates to a system for paying out medals at any time in a game machine that is capable of paying out medals.

Quiz game machines, in which medals are inserted, games are played using electronic circuits, and medals are paid out according to a certain multiplier as a result of the game, include horse racing games, boat racing games, etc., and are enjoyed by many gamers. ing.

To briefly explain this type of gaming machine according to Figure 1. In Figure 1, conventional prediction registration is possible. -1 is a chart showing the flow of escapes in game machines for horse racing and games, for example.

First of all, rather than inserting medals, the medals are stored and at the same time the total number of medals is displayed digitally.

The number of stored medals will be displayed on the handle. Within the range of the number of stored medals, for example, in the case of a series combination, you can predict the finish line of the horse that will finish 1st and 2nd, and the number spent on climbing 11 can be registered in the digital table thread section. is subtracted from. Then, press the start switch to start the game, the game ends when each horse reaches the goal, and when the prediction registration and the game result match, the number of payouts according to the payout rate will be displayed, and the number of payouts will be displayed. is transferred to the total medal number digital display section and is added to the displayed number to display the remaining number of medals (storage number) after the game is over. When the prediction is wrong, the number of dividends is zero, and the number displayed on the digital display section does not change.

In conventional game machines, the game result payout & (including zero) was displayed, and the payout could only be made after it was transferred to the total medal number digital display.

This is because, as shown in FIG. 1, the process from inserting medals to dispensing medals consists of one sequence.

The present invention stores the number of stored medals from a circuit that performs a sequence of extracting and executing the game itself in a medal-on-demand system of a gaming machine that allows medals to be paid out before or after the end of the game. command the payout,
The gist of this is that the circuit that performs the sequence for controlling payout is made independent.

In this specification, medals are used as representative items to be inserted and paid out, but the invention is not limited to medals, and coins can also be used as long as permitted.
This is a concept that also includes "medals" and coins in the claims.

Next, embodiments of the payout system of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 2 to 8, but the present invention is not limited to such embodiments.

FIG. 2 is a chart showing the flow of the sensing layer from medal insertion to payout in an embodiment of the medal-on-demand payout system of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the main parts of the payout system of the present invention shown in FIG. It is.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the stored number display is separated from the sequence of the game execution section for a second, so medals can be paid out at any time regardless of the progress of the game.

FIG. 8 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the medal payout system of the present invention. The medals inserted from the medal slot are detected by the sensor (1) and sent to the kakunta (2).
) is counted.

If the count is lost, the medal count is stored in the memory control unit (4) via the count display control unit (8), and the output data shows the total number of stored medals in the digital display unit (6).
) K is sent to the display control 2/driver (5) for display. - The game itself monitors the contents of the medal number memory control section (4), and within the range of the number of stored medals, the registration section (7
) to perform prediction registration. The display on the digital display section (6) is counted by the number of medals used for prediction registration by the operation of the memory control section (4) and the display control latch/driver (6).

The configuration and contents of the game execution unit (9) that plays the game are not directly related to the present invention, so a detailed explanation will be omitted in this specification. The display ends with the number of dividends displayed on the number of dividends display section (display section).
8) The contents of K are transferred to the medal number memory control unit (4)K. According to the transferred contents, the total meg is displayed via the display clip/driver (5).

A new display will be displayed on the number digital display (6). To put out the medals, press the payout switch (10). The payout information will be transferred to the medal number memory via the sensor (11). The control unit (4)K is transmitted, and the contents of the control unit (4), that is, the total medal count digital display unit (6)K
The data corresponding to the displayed number is displayed in the payout drive control unit (
12), and the drive unit (18) is driven by the output of the movement control unit (12) to eject the displayed number of medals.

In this way, in the medal-on-demand payout system of the present invention, the sequence of the game execution unit (9) and the sequence of payout are independent of each other with the medal intermittent control unit (4) at the center, so that even when the game is in progress, It depends on whether you perform the payout operation at any time.・

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. In a gaming machine where medals are inserted, a game is played using an electronic circuit, and medals are paid out according to a certain multiplier as a result of the game, the sequence of executing the game itself is 1.
This gaming machine is designed to be able to pay out medals either before or after the end of the game by making the circuit that stores the stored medals, issues a payout command, and executes the sequence of controlling the payout independent of the circuit that performs the sequence of storing medals. Meda, le payout method at any time.
