A read head 135 is connected to the data bus 125 via a DA converter 136 and an interface 167. Further, reference numeral 138 denotes a reading position detection sensor, which is provided at a position in the conveyance path where the magnetic ticket 1 moving in the reading direction contacts, and is connected to the data bus 125 via the interface 133. When the detection signal of the position detection sensor 138 is output, the MPU1
24 is designed to sequentially store the data from the read head 135 in the data storage memory 126, and after the completion of this, the power to the transport motor 131 is turned off. Note that a timing signal generator 139 is connected between the DA converter 136 and the transport motor 131, and the read head 165 is also connected in this ticket collection reader 5.
The reading operation and the rotational operation of the transport motor 131 are synchronously controlled.

140Fi is a factory indicator lamp, 141 is a coincidence indicator lamp, and data bus 1 is connected via an interface 142.
25, and these indicator lamps 140,1
41 is for displaying the results of data comparison by the MPU 124. That is, the error indicator lamp 140
is a device that lights up to indicate an error when the ball count data from the magnetic recording surface 1b of the magnetic ticket 1 and the key switch 129 or the optical reader 1'54 do not match as a result of the comparison. It is. In addition, the coincidence display lamp 141 indicates that both data match as a result of comparing the ball number data.
Furthermore, if the result of code data comparison for fraud prevention is also OK, it lights up to notify that there is no error or fraud.

Further, 143 is a ball number display, and 144 is a code display.These displays 143 and 144 display data read from the magnetic recording surface 1a of the magnetic chip 1. It is also possible to compare data. That is, the staff member only has to compare the numerical values and codes on the print surface 1b with those displayed on the image displays 143 and 144. According to this method, the nature of errors and fraud can be immediately determined.

145 is a disposal switch, inner interface 142
The discard switch 145 is connected to the data bus 125 via a switch 145, and is operated when proceeding to the ticket discard process after the end of the prize exchange transaction, and when the on signal is issued, The power of the conveyance motor 131, which had been in a stopped state, is turned on, and the magnetic ticket 1 is conveyed further to the rear. A ticket punch device 146 and a disposal position detection sensor 147 are disposed in the middle of the transport path, and these are connected to the data bus 125 via interfaces 130 and 136, respectively.

The moving magnetic ticket 1 is detected by the disposal position detection sensor 14
7, the ticket punch device 146 is activated to punch a hole in the magnetic ticket 1, and the magnetic ticket 1 is dropped into a storage box or the like for disposal.

A disposal detection sensor 148 is provided at the entrance of a disposal case such as a storage box to confirm that the magnetic ticket 1 has been disposed of reliably. The pulse generator 149 is connected to the data bus 125 via the interface 150, and upon reading the detection signal from the discarded ticket detection sensor 148, the MPU 124 turns off the power to the transport motor 131 and collects the tickets from the pulse generator 149. After sending pulses such as the ball number phase to the host computer 2 or other sales aggregation machine (not shown), the data storage memory 123, ball number display 143, code display 144, etc. are cleared or reset (1) and the next ticket is issued. It is expected to be a long wait.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from what has been described above, according to the present invention, the data magnetically recorded on the magnetic ticket is displayed, so that it is possible to compare the display and the print. This allows accurate transactions and accurate management of sales, etc. Thereby, it is possible to provide a ticket collection/reading machine which is advantageous for pachinko machines that magnetically record and print data such as number of balls data and code data for fraud prevention on a magnetic ticket.
