However, due to manpower shortages, etc., services for players, such as measures to prevent players from becoming irritated when a player calls an attendant until the attendant arrives, are limited to a minimum number of attendants due to manpower shortages and other circumstances. must be done.

Additionally, in the unlikely event that illegal gaming occurs, it must be discovered as soon as possible and dealt with, but as mentioned above, it is difficult to have a sufficient number of staff on hand. Measures must be taken by mechanization.

(Purpose) The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to be able to improve the service in order to eliminate the frustration of players, and to improve the service in the unlikely event that a wrong game is played. It is an object of the present invention to provide a management device capable of quickly dealing with such problems even when the situation occurs, and also capable of easily managing these matters with a small number of people.

(Structure) In order to achieve this object, the present invention includes a speaker provided at a desired location in a gaming parlor, a fraudulent game detection means provided in each pachinko game machine to detect fraud in pachinko games, and When a detection signal from a calling means provided in a pachinko game machine and operated by a player, a detection signal from the fraudulent game detecting means, and a calling symbol from the calling means are inputted and the detection symbol is entered manually, the fraud can be recognized by voice. The gist thereof is a management device for a pachinko machine, comprising: a control means for outputting a voice synthesized signal to the speaker to notify a response by voice when a calling signal is input. be.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on Figure @1.

Fig. 1 shows an electrical block circuit diagram of a pachinko machine management device, in which an open switch (24) is used as a means for detecting fraudulent games.
consists of a microswitch that is placed on the back of the glass door frame of a pachinko machine and turns on when the frame is opened. Similarly, the magnetic detection switch (25), which serves as an illegal game detection means, is made of a magnetic sensing element such as a Hall element, and is disposed on the back side of the game board of the punchco machine, and is turned on when magnetism is generated near the glass door. As a calling means, a calling switch (2B) is provided on the upper side of the Banchinko machine and is turned on and off based on the player's operation.

A control circuit (41) as a control means and a speech synthesis circuit (4
