Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a card-type pachinko machine, and more particularly to an information recording card that can be attached to and removed from a control device of a pachinko machine.

The basic structure of the card-type pachinko machine was developed by the applicant in a patent application filed in 1973.
It is proposed in No. 0-154787. The actual balls actually fired by the player are sealed in a certain number of pachinko machines and used in circulation. All the increase and decrease factors associated with pachinko games, such as the number of converted prize balls and the number of prize balls to be provided to players after several schools are canceled or finished, are converted into mathematical signals and calculated electronically, and By simply carrying around a card with this mathematical signal memorized, there was no need to touch the real ball, which tended to be bulky.

Of course, this card-type pachinko machine can also be applied to coin-type pachinko machines in which players compete to increase or decrease the number of coins.

However, conventional cards cannot directly visually display information such as the number of balls or fins on the card itself, which has been subjected to magnetic recording or punch processing, and each time it is passed through a league at a pachinko machine or prize exchange center. I had to. In other words, it was not possible to determine the number of balls while recording the information (number of balls) and heading to the pachinko machine (by shouting out the rented balls), or while moving from one pachinko machine to a pachinko machine or a prize exchange office.

The present invention is intended to eliminate such inconvenience, and is characterized by providing a display device on the card so that the player can know the recorded contents at any time.

To explain the illustrated embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the information recording card l according to the present invention has a storage device 3 that receives and stores external signals (number of balls) in a flat case.
In addition to storing LEDs and LODs on the surface of the caseco.
A signal exchange terminal 6 is provided at one end of the casecolumn for connection with a control device on the machine side. 7 is a display switch (touch switch) that provides a drive signal to the display device.
These are electrically connected as shown in the block diagram shown in FIG. That is, a drive circuit D is inserted between the storage device 3 and the display device DA, which is activated by the call terminal g and the display switch and causes the storage contents of the storage device 3 to be displayed on the display device q. Part of the replacement terminal 6 is W! A bidirectional drive circuit /l is inserted between the data terminal /θ and the data terminal /θ. The bidirectional drive circuit // mutually exchanges information (number of balls) between the control device IT on the pachinko machine side and the storage device 3. In FIG. 1, the symbol B indicates a battery such as a silver oxide battery as a driving power source.

In order to play a game using this card having the above structure, first, the number of balls to be paid according to the amount of money is stored in the storage device 3 through the signal exchange terminal 6. This can be done at a prize exchange or a ball rental machine. The player takes the recorded card and inserts it into the card insertion slot 6 of the pachinko machine shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

Then, the control device 5 side terminal/41 of the pachinko machine li is connected to the signal exchange terminal 6 of the card/, and signal exchange between the two becomes possible. During this process, if the player wishes to check the number of purchased balls, all he has to do is press the display switch. When the switch 7 is pressed, the number of stored balls is displayed on the display device DA by the drive circuit t. Turn on the start switch
When this is done, the number of balls stored in the storage device 3 is displayed on the pachinko machine/evening ball number display device/g, and at the same time, the hitting prevention device (not shown) is released and the game becomes possible. The above operation may be performed in conjunction with the insertion of the card l into the card insertion slot l6 without providing the start switch l7. Changes in the number of balls held during the game are displayed on the ball number display device 6, and when the settlement switch 19 is pressed, the display contents are transmitted to the data terminal IO and the bidirectional drive circuit 6 through the control device of the pachinko machine. / is input to the storage device 3. Therefore, by pulling out the card L and moving to another pachinko machine or going to a prize exchange place, the player can continue playing the game or exchange it for a prize. During this movement, if it is necessary to confirm the number of balls in memory, the number of balls will be displayed on the display device q by pressing the display switch in the same manner as described above. If the number of remaining balls becomes zero during the game, the hit prevention device is activated and the game becomes impossible.

6. Figs. 5 and 6 show other examples of the pachinko machine according to the present invention that accepts cards, making it possible to collect cards with no remaining balls.

Components such as a storage device 3, a display device, a signal exchange terminal 6, and a display switch provided in the card 1 are the same as those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 except for their positions. A card storage chamber 22 is formed on the pachinko machine aO side and is opened and closed by a door I, and a card mounting table 23 from which a terminal /lI on the side of the control device protrudes is provided in this chamber. On the mounting base 23, protruding plates through which terminals /q are inserted are provided one on top of the other.
2lI is a solenoid. They move forward and backward every two evenings. Further, a detector 26 detects the open/closed state of the door.

In this pachinko machine, open the door/, align the signal exchange terminal 6 of the card/ with the terminal/da, and place the card on the mounting base. When the rear door placed on tJ is closed, the detector λ6 is turned on and the game becomes possible. When the ball number display device/t returns to zero, after a certain period of time (because there is a possibility that the last ball hit may win or become 7 ares) -? - Solenoid 2 is energized so that the protruding plate 2
Hiroshi pushes out the card 1 from the mounting table 3 and causes it to fall, and the fallen card is collected by a transport device (not shown).

In order to completely prevent the removal of zero cards, it is preferable to further provide means for preventing the door l from opening until the above-mentioned collecting operation is completed when the ball number display device l has returned to zero.

In the above embodiment, it is assumed that variable elements such as the number of balls and the number of coins are to be stored in the storage device 3, but it is also possible to store cryptographic elements such as a store name code and a date code. The encryption code makes it possible to prevent fraudulent games, collect fraudulent cards, and the like. Furthermore, the information recording card referred to in the present invention also includes a so-called cassette.

In summary, the present invention provides a card of a card-type pachinko machine with a display device that displays the stored contents of the storage device.
The effect is that the stored contents can be checked at any time other than at a pachinko machine or a prize exchange place, and in particular, if the display is made only when the display switch is pressed, the battery life can be extended.
