Each detector 47, 48, 49 has a light-emitting element, such as a lamp, and a light-receiving element, such as a photoconductive element (c
ds) and a pulse generator (not shown), detects balls hit by the handle 16, safe balls, and foul balls, and calculates the effective number of balls hit by adding and subtracting these using a reversible counter to be described later. It calculates and displays this on the display 3.

Further, FIG. 5 shows a card vending device, a so-called ball lending machine 50, which has a coil input port 51. Coin return button 52, coil return hole 53, ball lending number display 3'' and card reader 19''
The card reader 19'' has a card insertion hole 54 and a card return switch 55. The card reader 19'' has a card insertion hole 54 and a card return switch 55.

Furthermore, FIG. 6 shows a card reading device, so-called pachinko ball adjustment device 56, which is equipped with a display 3' for displaying the effective number of balls struck and a card reader 19', and reads the address recorded on the card M. The card reader 19' has a card insertion hole 57 and a card return switch 58, which is exchanged for a prize corresponding to the number of balls from the memory, which will be described in detail later.

Each of the above-mentioned card readers 19, 19', 19'' is a known type having a motor for reciprocating the card M and a reproducing circuit for reading the address of the strip-shaped magnetic recording medium m when the card M is moved. .

In addition, a large number of pachinko machines 1... are arranged, and together with these, a card vending machine, that is, a ball lending machine 50, and a card reading device 56 for payment are electrically connected to a central control device 59, which will be described later. It is possible to selectively use a means for controlling and totalizing the data generally by the device 59, and a means for controlling each pachinko machine 1 individually.

It goes without saying that the display device 3 mentioned above may be constructed using other display means such as a liquid crystal display device in addition to the light emitting diode. As shown in the diagram, the entire system is roughly divided into five circuits: a pachinko machine 1, a central control device 59, a card reading device 56 for payment, a card vending device 50, and a power supply device 60. In the figure, one pachinko machine 1 is shown to simplify the illustration.

Further, the central control device 59, the card reading device 56, and the card vending device 50 are arranged as part of a so-called central management system.

First, to explain the pachinko machine 1, 61 is a reversible counter that counts digital signals, and has an addition terminal 62, a subtraction terminal 63, and a preset terminal 64, and the addition terminal 62 has a safe ball detector 47 and a foul ball detector 47. A detector 48 is connected to a subtraction terminal 63, a shot ball detector 49 is connected to a preset terminal 64, and a data bus 66 is connected to a preset terminal 64 via an inverter 65 formed of a NOT circuit or the like.

Further, the reversible counter 61 has an output terminal 67 and a filling terminal 6.
8 and a display terminal 69, the output terminal 67 is connected to the data bus 66 via a gate circuit 70 having a plurality of NAND gates, and the display terminal 69 is composed of a light emitting diode (LED) or the like. It is connected to the display unit 3.

When a pulse is applied to the filling terminal 68, input data corresponding to the number of man-hours purchased by the customer using the machine is preset via the data bus 66, as will be described later.

The safe ball detector 47, the foul ball detector 48, and the fired ball detector 49 have already been described in the explanation of the configuration, and each time a customer flicks the pachinko machine 12, the fired ball detector 49 generates a pulse. , this pulse is sent to the counter 61
The count is decremented by 1.

Also, if the ball flipped by the customer is safe, the detector 47 detects it and generates a pulse, for example, 15, which is the number of steps issued for one winning ball, and this pulse is sent to the reversible counter 61. For example, 15 counts are added to the addition terminal 62.

Further, if the ball flicked by the customer is a foul, the detector 48 detects this and adds one count.

The counted value of this counter 61 is constantly displayed on the display section 3 so that the customer can understand it.

A card reader 19 has a card reading circuit 71, a gate circuit 72 having a plurality of NAND gates, and flip-flops 73 and 74.

When a customer inserts a magnetic card M with an address recorded by the magnetic recording means into the card hole 17 of the pachinko machine 1, the card reading circuit 71 reads the customer's address.

That is, the customer's address recorded in advance on the magnetic card M is read by a magnetic head (not shown) built into the card reading circuit 71, and this read address is read by the circuit 71.
It is possible to temporarily store it inside.

The flip-flop 74 is set to generate an output pulse when the card M is inserted or removed, while the flip-flop 73 is set to generate an output pulse only when the card is removed.

In this way, when inserting the card M, only the flip-flop 74 generates an output pulse to give a read command, and when removing the card, both flip-flops 73 and 74 generate output pulses to give a write command.

75 is a matrix circuit, and this circuit 75 includes a plurality of exclusive OR circuits (not shown) whose input terminals are connected to the pachinko machine scanning line 76, and a circuit to which all the outputs of these OR circuits are added. The circuit is composed of NOR gates (not shown).

A designation code consisting of a combination of digital signals 1.0 unique to a pachinko machine is added to the other input terminal of each of the exclusive OR circuits.

Here, the platform scanning line 76 is connected to a central control device 59 which will be described later.
All the pachinko machines in the store are scanned one after another by , and when the combination of input codes on the machine scanning line 76 matches the specified code, the output of each exclusive OR circuit in the matrix circuit 75 is are all at low level,
As a result, the NOR gate output in the circuit 75 becomes high level.

Conversely, if the combination of the specified code and the input code on the platform scanning line 76 differs by even one, the output of the exclusive OR circuit becomes a high level, and as a result, the output of the NOR gate becomes low. level.

The output of this NOR game 1~, that is, 71~RIX circuit 7
The output of 5 is the gate circuit 72, the antagonist 77
．． 78 and a gate 1 circuit 79 having two NAND gates.

The gate circuit 72 receives the high-level output from the 7-trix circuit 75 and sends out the customer's address temporarily stored in the card reading circuit 71 onto the address bus 80.

The counter gates 7, 78 are control gates for the reversible counter 61, and are controlled on/off by flip-flops 73, 74.

Ant games 1 to 77 are NO in the MAI Nox circuit 75.
It is directly connected to the R gate and the flip-flop 4, and is connected to the flip-flop 73 via the inverter 81, so one of the 7 flip-flops 73 is at a low level, the other flip-flop 74 is at a high level, and the matrix circuit 75 is connected directly to the flip-flop 4. Generates a high level signal at the output only when the output of is high level.

In other words, the AND gate 77 outputs a high level signal when the card M is inserted and a read command is issued.

On the other hand, AND gate 78 generates a high level signal at its output only when the outputs of each flip-flop circuit 75 are all at high level.

In other words, the Antogame 1.78 outputs a high level signal when the magnetic card M is removed and a write command is issued.

The game circuit 79 described above is connected to the central control device 5, which will be described later.
One NAND gate (not shown) of these seven gate circuits outputs a low level output when both flip-flops 7 are at high level, and the other NAND gate in gate circuit 79 (not shown) sends a low level output to the control bus 82 when the outputs of the flip-flop 7 are both high level.

The output stage of the AND gate 78 is connected to the input of a gate circuit 70 having a plurality of NAND gates.
When the outputs of the respective NAND gates are both at high level, that is, when writing is performed after the card M is removed, the counted value of the reversible counter 61 is sent onto the data bus 66.

The bell drive circuit 22 and the lamp 4 mentioned above are connected to the output stage of the safe ball detector 47, and upon receiving the output of the detector 47, the bell 23 and the lamp 4 for displaying winnings are operated. .

A zero detection circuit 8 is connected to the output terminal 67 of the reversible counter 61.
3 is connected to an end detection circuit 84, and the solenoid 46 is connected to the output stage of each of these circuits 83 and 84 via a solenoid drive circuit 85.

A display 86 is connected to the circuit 83, and the display 86 can visually indicate zero.

Further, the end detection circuit 84 has a register function that integrates the total number of balls hit that is displayed on the display 3 and outputs when the total reaches a certain number, and the output stage thereof has a display 87 that displays the end. is connected.

Further, the safe ball detector 47, the foul ball detector 48, and the shot ball detector 49 are provided with an emergency detector 88 for detecting a failure of each of these detectors 47-49. In addition to detecting malfunctions in the 49, it also detects and detects customer misconduct.

It goes without saying that an alarm means may be added to this detector 88.

Next, the central control device 59 will be explained. Reference numeral 89 is a random access memory consisting of, for example, a semiconductor memory, a core memory, etc., and a memory control terminal 90.

91, a data output terminal 92, a data input terminal 93, and an address input terminal 94.

Here, one memory control terminal 90 is a write/read control terminal, and the terminal 90 is connected to the control bus 82 via an inverter 95.
The memory 89 becomes readable or writable only when a high level signal is applied to the memory 89.

The other memory control terminal 91 is a terminal that specifies either read or write; when a high level is applied to the terminal 91 from the control bus 82 via an inverter 95, writing is specified, and when a low level is applied, reading is specified. do.

In other words, when the terminals 90 and 91 are at high level and low level, respectively, the memory 89 becomes readable, and when the terminals 90 and 91 are at high level and high level, respectively, the memory 89 becomes writable.

The data output terminal 92 of the memory 89 has a plurality of N
It is coupled to the inputs of a gate circuit 96 having AND gates, the other input of these NAND gates being connected to a control bus 8.
2 are directly connected, and the outputs of the gate circuits 96 are respectively connected to the data bus 96. When the memory 89 can be read, the gate circuits 96 are opened and the data output terminals 92 of the memory 89 are connected to the data bus 66. It is something that will be done.

Further, the central control device 59 is equipped with a pachinko machine scanning section 97.

This is because the central control device 59 cannot process all pachinko machines at the same time, so it selects one pachinko machine one after another from among these machines and exchanges data with the selected machines. It is.

The platform scanning section 97 is separated from the oscillator 98 and the pure binary counter 99 that counts its output, so that the oscillator 98 can always generate pulses at a predetermined frequency and can turn its output on and off as necessary. It is something.

The counter 99 constantly counts the pulses from the oscillator 98 and sends out the counted value in binary on its output line, that is, the platform scanning line 76.

For example, the numerical value on the digital scanning line 76 is oooo→00
It constantly changes like 01 → 0010 → 0011.

These numbers correspond to each pachinko machine number.

The output of the binary counter 99 is sent to the matrix circuit of each pachinko machine via the machine scanning line 76, where it is compared with the designated number of that machine, and when they match, the NOR gate in the matrix circuit goes high. Generates level output.

When the card processing request matches the table, the constantly operating scanning is temporarily stopped by, for example, turning off the oscillator 98 and stopping the counter 99, and the card processing is performed. .

It should be noted that each flip-flop 73, 74 is reset when the processing for the corresponding machine is completed.

Again, referring to the random access memory 89,
For example, this has the ability to store the number of customers expected to visit IEH, and the inverter 10 is connected to the address bus 80.
When the customer's address code is added to the address input terminal 94 via 0, the corresponding address (customer number) in the memory 89 is
is now selected.

At that time, when the memory 89 is in a writable state, the data that has passed through the inverter 101 from the data bus 66 is stored in the selected address, and conversely,
When in the read state, it is stored in the address selected above.

The data is read out from the data output terminal 92 to the gate 9.
6 and is sent onto the data bus 66.

The data output terminal 92 of the random access memory 89 is connected to a ball lending number totaling circuit 102 and an integrated number totaling circuit 10.
3, and a tally memory 104 is connected to the output stage of each of these circuits 102 and 103, respectively.
The circuit 103 stores the total number of balls borrowed, the circuit 103 stores the total number of settlements, so-called refunds, and the tally memory 104 stores the numbers obtained by adding and subtracting these totals, in other words, the number of sales. It has become.

Here, it goes without saying that display means may be added to each of the circuits 102, 103 and the tally memory 104 to visually display each of the numerical values.

It goes without saying that a recording device such as a pen recorder may be added to the total memory 104 and the like.

Next, the card reading device 56 will be explained.

In addition, in this device 56, the same parts as in the previous pachinko machine 1 are indicated by the same reference numerals with a dash l added.

However, instead of the reversible counter 61 in the pachinko machine 1, a temporary storage device 105 is provided.

Since there is no need to write the man-hour count value data here, each gate 77', 79' and inverter 81' are connected so as to perform a control operation only during reading when a code is inserted. .

When the clerk inserts the card M received from the customer into the card reader 19', the customer's final result data is transferred to the central control device 5 in the same manner as described for the pachinko machine 1.
9 and stored in the temporary storage device 105 via the data bus 66, and displayed on the display section 3'.

The other configurations and operations are the same as those of the pachinko machine 1, so their explanation will be omitted.

Next, the card vending device 50 will be explained.

In addition, in this device 50, the same parts as those in the previous pachinko machine 1 are indicated by the same reference numerals with a suffix 2'' added.

However, this machine differs from the pachinko machine 1 in that the reversible counter 61 in the pachinko machine 1 is replaced by a requested ball number setting device 106, and a coil sensor 107 is connected to this device.

Also, there is no need to read the man-hour count data here, so
It is connected to perform control operation only during writing.

When a customer who visits the store inserts money, so-called coins, into the slot 51 of the card vending device 50, the address recorded on the card M to be handed over to the customer is read by the card reading circuit 71''. An address corresponding to this address in the memory 89 is selected, and the number of coins corresponding to the amount of coins inserted is written into the memory 89 at that address.

When this writing is completed, the card M is ejected from the vending device 50.

The other operations are the same as those described for the pachinko machine 1.

The card reading device 56 and the card vending device 50 are also connected to the central control device 59 via the respective buses 66, 80, 82 and the digital scanning line 76, similarly to the pachinko machine 1.

In addition, each pachinko machine 1, card reader 56 and, of course,
The card vending device 50 does not have a so-called wired OR connection for each line and bus!・1. ing.

Since this wired OR connection is a negative logic OR, when data on the bus line is manually input, it is necessary to invert it and convert it to positive logic.

This is why inverters are inserted everywhere.

Further, the gates whose outputs are connected to these bus lines are of an open collector type.

Next, the power supply device 60 will be explained.
is for supplying power to each of the above-mentioned devices 1, 50, 56, and 59, and consists of an AC power supply circuit 108, games 1 to 109 consisting of flip-flops, etc., and a battery 110 for power failure compensation. Sometimes AC power supply 10
8 supplies power to each device 1, 50, 56, 59, and charges the battery 110 via the gate 1-109.In the event of a power outage, the charged power is transferred to the device 1, 50, 59 via the cable 109. The circuit is configured to provide an emergency supply to 56.59.

Next, the operation of each of the above-mentioned devices 1, 50, 56, and 59 will be comprehensively explained.

Customers who visit the store first insert coins into the card vending device 50 and enter the address tag. Receive the card M.

During this time, the number of balls corresponding to the input amount is written in the memo 1j89 of the central control device 59 at the address specified by the address as described above.

The customer then takes this card M with him to any pachinko machine 1 and inserts it into the card reader 19, which sets the flip-flop 74 and outputs a no.

In addition, at the time of 2, the other flip-flop 73 is not set and is in a low level state.

The platform scanning unit 97 always scans all the platforms at high speed, so when this platform is scanned, each game (72.77.78)
．． 79 opens.

When the gate circuit 72 opens, the address read by the reader 19 enters the memory 98 via the address bus 80;
When gate circuit 79 is opened, the low level, l-ray signal and flip-flop high level signals of flip-flop 73 enter control terminals 90 and 91 of memory 89, respectively, setting memory 89 in the read state.

When the flip-flop 73 is at low level, the control bus 8
2, the bus on the terminal 91 side becomes high level, so the gate circuit 96 also opens, and at this time, the high level output of the flip-flop 74 is applied to the filling terminal 68 of the reversible counter 61. As a result, the input amount read out from the memory 89 A corresponding number of balls is transferred to the reversible counter 6 via the data bus 66.
1, and the reversible counter 61 is preset to this ball value.

At the same time, the count value of the counter 61 is visually displayed to the customer by the display 3.

When the scanning section 97 finishes scanning this platform, the end pulse (obtained by differentiating the falling edge of the NOR gate output in the matrix 75, for example) causes each flip-flop
3.74 are reset and both become low level.

There, the customer plays a game, and the reversible counter 61 repeats addition or subtraction each time.

When the pre-selected ball value on the reversible counter 61 becomes zero, the zero detection circuit 83 senses this and displays zero on the display 86 (the drive circuit 8
5, the solenoid 46 is activated and restricts the movement of the elongated rod 42 in the stop arm 38, thereby preventing the game from continuing.

Further, when the ball value entered in the reversible counter 61 reaches the end value, for example 3000, as a result of repeated addition and subtraction, the end detection circuit 84 senses this and indicates the end with the display 87. In addition to displaying the display, the solenoid 46 is activated via the drive circuit 85 to lock the elongated rod 42 of the stop arm 38 in the same manner as described above, so that the continuation of the game is prevented.

On the other hand, when the display 3 shows an intermediate value between the number and the number completed, if the customer wishes to end (cancel) the game on that machine, press the card return switch 18 shown in FIG. pull out.

Then, the 7 lip-flops 73 and 74 are both set to the /'% level.

The card reading circuit 71 is configured to temporarily store and hold the read address even if the card M is removed.

When the scanning pulse (output of the 7-trix circuit 75) arrives, each gate 72, 77, 78, 79 opens.

When the gate circuit 72 opens, the address is sent to the memory 89, and when the gate circuit 79 opens, each flip-flop 73.
The high level output of 74 is sent to the control terminals 90 and 91 to put the memory 89 in the write state, and when the gate 78 is opened, the high level output opens the gate circuit 70, and thus the current value of the reversible counter 61 is transferred to the data bus. Memory 8 via 66
9 is written into the corresponding address.

Note that at this time, the gate circuit 96 is closed because the control bus 82 on the terminal 91 side is at a low level.

When the X scanning of this table is completed, each of the flip-flops 73 and 74, the card reading circuit 71, and the reversible counter 61 are all reset by the end pulse.

(The reset circuit is not shown in the figure.

) Card M that the customer pulled out after stopping the game on this machine 1
When you take the ball to another machine and insert it into the card reader of that machine, the number of balls stored in the memory 89 at the address corresponding to that address will be read and stored in the reversible counter of that machine. Since the man-hour data is set and the anvil is visually displayed, the game can be played in the same manner from now on.

Then, when the card is removed from the stand, the final value at that time is sent to the memory 89, and this final value is written.

Finally, the customer takes the card M to the card reading device 56 for payment, inserts the card M into the card reader 19', and the final result is read out from the central control device 59 and stored in the temporary storage device 105. As well as being memorized, it is also visually displayed on the display section 3', so the staff member looks at it and exchanges it for a prize corresponding to the number of man-hours.

The temporary storage device 105 is then stored in 1. It is reset when the card is removed or by a separate manual operation.

Note that this card M may be discarded without being removed, but if the staff member removes the card and uses it again, the memory 89 should be stored in a flip-flop or 73 or leave it inactive.

The pachinko machine with the above configuration has a safe ball case 7 and an out ball case 8 provided on the back side of the safe hole 5 and the outer I hole 6, respectively, and the balls are made to communicate with each other. The falling ball passage 24 is connected to the case 11 so that the pachinko balls driven into the game board 2 are naturally returned to the launching game 11 by falling under their own weight. board, prize tank and arc
``71- There is no need to provide a ball tank, the mechanical structure of the pachinko machine 1 can be simplified, and costs can be reduced.Furthermore, it is possible to record the customer's address and use a magnetic card. A card reader 19 that inserts the M and reads this address, a memory means 89 that presets the number of balls data corresponding to the address, and a counting means 61 that adds or subtracts the number of balls depending on the profit or loss of the ball. Therefore, the movement of the pachinko ball by the hammer 14, that is, the gain or loss, is converted into a digital signal, counted and stored, and this counted value is stored in the address of the memory 89 corresponding to the address of the magnetic card M. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine which can be sequentially stored and played in the same way as a well-known pachinko machine, and which is easy to handle.

Further, as shown in the embodiment, the reversible counter 51 and the central control device 59 are separated, and the counter 61 is connected to each pachinko machine 1.
On the other hand, the central control device 59 is installed as part of the central management system, and if the storage capacity of the memory 89 in the device 59 is made to correspond to the number of customers, it can be used without increasing the number of reversible counters 61. It can accommodate a much larger number of customers.

Further, when the number of man-hours is zero and the end is detected, the stopper 33 is moved to the weight 36 via the stop arm 38.
Since the solenoid 46 is caused to protrude between the ball feeding groove 26 and the standby ball gutter 32 by its own weight, the solenoid 46 does not require any large capacity, and the protruding position of the stopper 33 is also held by the weight 36. Therefore, no electric power is required for such holding.

Moreover, in the present invention, the stop arm 38 that controls the supply of pachinko balls to the tip of the hammer of the pachinko machine 1 is operated by the solenoid 46, so the game can be played under the control of the magnetic card M. , the stop arm 38 of the pachinko machine 1 can be well connected to the electronic circuit by the solenoid 46.

As described in detail above, the present invention includes a counting means 61 that adds and subtracts the ball value according to the winning and losing aspects of the balls hit, and a card reader 19 that inserts a magnetic card M in which a customer's address is magnetically recorded and reads this address. This pachinko machine is comprised of a pachinko machine 1 equipped with the above-mentioned functions, and a centralized control device 59 equipped with a memory 89 for storing man-hour data corresponding to the addresses, and the pachinko machine 1 and the central control device 59 are connected to each other via a data bus. 66 and 5. The pachinko machine 1 has a hammer 14 that hits the balls in the ball case 11.
, a handle 16 linked to this hammer 14, a safe ball passage 9, a fall ball passage 24, and a waiting ball gutter 3.
2, and detectors 47, 48, 49 for detecting passage of pachinko balls 12 in each of these passages 9, 24 and gutter 32.
are provided, and each detector 47, 48, 49 is connected to the counting means 6.
1, while the counting means 61 has a zero detection circuit 83.
and end detection circuit 84, and each of these circuits 83.
The solenoid 46 is connected to the solenoid 84 via the solenoid drive circuit 85.
Furthermore, a stopper 33 of a flow control arm 34 that appropriately prevents the balls from flowing down can be protruded and retracted between the ball feeding groove 26 and the standby ball gutter 32 provided at the lower end of the inclined ball case 11. A stop arm 3 is provided on this flow control arm 34.
8 are interlocked and connected, and the solenoid 46 is configured to control the swinging of the stop arm 38, and when the zero detection circuit 83 and the spinning circuit 84 detect the end of the man-hour, Since the stopper 33 is configured to protrude between the ball feed groove 26 and the standby ball gutter 32, the pachinko balls 12 can be moved without the need for switch operations as seen in conventional numerical pachinko machines. Since the pachinko machine can fire out a number of characters, it is possible to operate the machine repeatedly, and as a result, the game can be enjoyed in the same way as a conventional pachinko machine without reducing the fun of the game by half.

Furthermore, it is economical because it does not use a large number of unnecessary cards as seen in conventional numerical pachinko machines.

Moreover, when the ball value preset in the reversible counter 61, which is a counting means, becomes zero, the zero detection circuit 83 senses this and drives the solenoid 46 via the drive circuit 85 to stop the movement of the stop arm 38. Since the stopper 33 is provided protrudingly between the ball feeding groove 36 and the waiting ball gutter 32, it is possible to prevent the game from being continued.

Further, when the ball value preset in the reversible counter 61, which is the counting means, reaches the end value, for example 3000, as a result of repeated addition and subtraction, the end detection circuit 84 senses this, and in the same manner as above, the drive circuit 85 activating the solenoid 46 via the stop arm 38 to limit the movement of the stop arm 38;
Since the stopper 33 is provided protrudingly between the ball feeding groove 36 and the waiting ball gutter 32, it is possible to prevent the game from being continued.

In short, when the ball value preset by the counting means 61 becomes zero and when it reaches the end value, the stopper 33
This has the effect of automatically protruding and preventing continued operation of the game.
