Each detector 47, 48, 49 includes 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 with a reversible counter to be described later. This is calculated and displayed on the display 3.

Further, FIG. 5 shows a card vending device, a so-called ball lending machine 50, which includes a coin slot 51, a coin return button 52, a coin return hole 53, a ball lending number display 3'', and a card reader 19''.
The card league 19'' has a card insertion hole 54 and a card return switch 55, which adds the number of balls owed according to the number of coins inserted and displays this on the display 3''.

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 league 19', and reads the address recorded on the card M. The card league 19' is exchanged for a prize corresponding to the number of balls from the memory, which will be described in detail later, and the card league 19' has a card insertion hole 57 and a card return switch 5B.

Each of the card leagues 19, 19', 19'' mentioned above 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 pachinko machines, and a means for controlling each pachinko machine 1.

Further, 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.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the electronic circuit of the above configuration. The circuit is composed of five devices including the device 60, and in the figure, only 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.

To explain the mass and 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. 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 a data bus 66 via a gate circuit 70 having a plurality of NAND gates, and the display terminal 69 is a display composed of a light emitting diode (LED) or the like. connected to device 3.

When a pulse is applied to the filling terminal 68, input data corresponding to the number of balls purchased by the customer using that 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.

Further, if the ball flicked by the customer is safe, the detector 47 detects it and generates a pulse for one hit, for example, which is the number of man-hours issued for one hit ball, and this pulse is added to the reversible counter 61. For example, 15 counts are added to the terminal 62.

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

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

A card league 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 72.
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 the card M is inserted, only the flip-flop 74 generates an output pulse to give a read command, and when the card is removed, 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 one circuit to which all the outputs of these OR circuits are added. The circuit consists of a NOR gate (not shown).

The other input terminal of each of the above-mentioned exclusive OR circuits receives a digital signal 661514 "0" peculiar to pachinko machines.
A designation code consisting of a combination of “′ is added.

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 output of the NOR gate in the same circuit 75 becomes high level.

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

The output of this NOR gate, ie the output of matrix circuit 75, is coupled to each one of the inputs of said gate circuit 72, AND gates 77, 78 and gate circuit 79 having two NAND gates.

Gate circuit 72 receives the high level output from matrix circuit 75 and sends out the customer's address temporarily stored in card reading circuit 71 onto address bus 80 .

AND gates 77 and 78 are control gates for the reversible counter 61 and are controlled on and off by flip-flops 73 and 74, respectively.

AND gate 77 is directly connected to the NOR gate and flip-flop 74 in matrix circuit 75, and is connected to flip-flop 73 via inverter 81, so that one flip-flop 73 is at low level and the other flip-flop is at low level. When the signal 74 is at a high level and the output of the matrix circuit 75 is at a high level, an output high level signal is generated only when the output is at a 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, the AND gate 78 connects each flip-flop 73.7
A high level signal is generated at the output only when the outputs of 4 and matrix circuit 75 are all at high level.

In other words, the AND gate 78 outputs a high level signal when a write command is issued when the magnetic card M is removed.

The gate circuit 79 described above is a central control device 59 described later.
One NAND gate (not shown) in this gate circuit 79 is used to control the flip-flop 73.
When the outputs of the matrix circuit 75 and the matrix circuit 75 are both high level, the low level output is output to the other NA in the gate circuit 79.
The ND gate (not shown) sends a low level output to the control bus 82 when the outputs of the flip-flop 74 and the matrix circuit 75 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.
The count value of the reversible counter 61 is sent onto the data bus 66 when the outputs of the respective NAND gates are both at high level, that is, at the time of writing after the card M is removed.

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 and an end detection circuit 84 are connected to each other, 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 is also capable of detecting fraudulent behavior by customers.

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

Next, the central control device 59 will be explained. 89 is a random access memory made of, for example, semiconductor memory/core memory, etc., and has memory control terminals 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 NA
coupled to an input of a gate circuit 96 having an ND gate;
The control bus 82 is directly connected to the other input of these NAND gates, and the outputs of the gate circuits 96 are respectively connected to the data bus 66. When the memory 89 can be read, the gate circuit 96 is opened and the memory 89 is opened. 89 data output terminals 92 are connected to the data bus 66.

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 those machines and exchanges data with the selected machines. It is.

The platform scanning section 97 is controlled by an oscillator 98 and a 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 platform scanning line 76 is 0000→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 the store in one day, and the inverter 100 is connected to the address bus 80.
When the customer's address code is added to the address input terminal 94 via the address input terminal 94, the corresponding address (customer number) in the memory 89 is selected.

At this time, when the memory 89 is in a writable state, the data that has passed through the data bus 66 and the reinverter 101 is stored in the selected address, and conversely, when the memory 89 is in a read state. The data stored in the selected address is read out and sent from the data output terminal 92 through the gate 96 onto the data bus 66.

Data output terminal 9 of the random access memory 89
2 has a ball lending number totaling circuit 102 and an integrated number totaling circuit 103.
However, a totalizing memory 104 is connected to the output stage of each of these circuits 102 and 103, and the circuit 102 calculates the total number of balls borrowed, and the circuit 103 calculates the number of settlements, so-called payout numbers. The total total is further stored in the total memory 104 as a numerical value obtained by adding or subtracting each of these total totals, in other words, the number of sales.

iron, each of the circuits 102, 103 and the total memory/
Of course, display means may be added to each of the numerals 104 to visually display each of the above 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 1' added.

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

Since one write of the man-hour count value data is not necessary here, each gate 77'.

79' and inverter 81' are connected so as to perform a control operation only during reading when a card is inserted.

Then, the staff member receives the card M from the customer and puts it in Card League 1.
9', the final result data of the customer is read out from the central control device 59 and stored in the temporary storage device 1 via the data bus 66 in the same manner as described for the pachinko machine 1.
05 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 in the previous pachinko machine 1 are indicated by the same reference numerals with a two-dash 1'' added.

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

Further, since there is no need to read the ball count value data here, the connection is made so that the control operation is performed only when writing.

Then, when a customer who visits the store inserts a so-called borrowed coin 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 man-hours 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.

Other operations are similar to those described for the pachinko machine 1.

Similarly to 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 machine scanning line 76.

Note that each pachinko machine 1, card reading device 56, and card vending device 50 are connected to each line and bus in a so-called wired OR connection.

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

This is why inverters are inserted everywhere.

Furthermore, the gates whose outputs are connected to these buses and lines are of 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, 56.59, and consists of A and C power supply circuits 108, a gate 109 consisting of a flip-flop, etc., and a battery 110 for power failure compensation. At the time A, C power supply 10
8 to each device 1゜50, 56, 59, and
The circuit is configured to charge the battery 110 through the gate 109, and to emergencyly supply the charged power to each device 1, 50, 56, 59 through the gate 109 in the event of a power outage.

Next, the operation of each of the above-mentioned devices 1.5G and 56.59 will be comprehensively explained.

A customer who visits the store first inserts coins into the card vending device 50 and receives a card M with an address recorded thereon.

During this time, the number of man-hours corresponding to the input amount is written in the memory 89 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 high level signal.

Note that, at this time, the other flip-flop 73 is not set and is in a low level state.

Since the platform scanning unit 97 always scans all the platforms at high speed,
When this platform is scanned, each gate 72, 77, 78, 79
opens.

When the gate circuit 72 opens, the address read by the card reader 19 enters the memory 89 via the address bus 80.
When gate circuit 79 opens, a low level signal from flip-flop 73 and a high level signal from flip-flop 74 enter control terminals 90 and 91 of memory 89, respectively, setting memory 89 in a 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 Corresponding man-hour data is input to the preset terminal 64 of the reversible counter 61 via the data bus 66, and the reversible counter 61 is preset to this positive 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 positive value preset in the reversible counter 61 becomes zero, the zero detection circuit 83 senses this and displays zero on the display 86, and the solenoid 46 is activated via the drive circuit 85. Since the movement of the elongated rod 42 in the driving and stopping arm 38 is restricted, the continuation of the game is prevented.

In addition, when the ball value preset in the reversible counter 61 reaches the end value, for example, 3000 yo, as a result of repeated addition and subtraction, the end detection circuit 84 senses this and indicates the end on the display 87. At the same time, the solenoid 46 is activated via the drive circuit 85 in the same manner as described above to lock the elongated rod 42 of the stop arm 38, thereby preventing the game from being continued.

On the other hand, when the number displayed on the display 3 is between zero and the number finished, if the customer wishes to end (cancel) the game on that machine, press the card return switch 18 shown in FIG. pull out.

Then, flip-flops 73 and 74 are both set to high level.

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

Then, when the scanning pulse (output of the matrix circuit 75) arrives, each gate 72, 77, 78, 79 opens.

When the gate circuit 72 opens, the address is sent to the memory 89,
When the gate circuit 79 opens, each flip-flop 73, 74
sends a high level output to the control terminals 90 and 91 to put the memory 89 in a write state, and when the gate 78 opens, 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 66. The data is written into the corresponding address of the memory 89 through the process.

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

When the scanning of this platform 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 league of that machine, the man-hour data that had been stored at the address corresponding to that address in the memory 89 will be read, and the ball count data will be stored in the reversible counter of that machine. is set, and the number is visually displayed, so that 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 league 19', and the final result is read out from the central control device 59 and stored in the temporary storage device 105. Since it is stored and visually displayed on the display section 3, the staff member looks at it and exchanges it for a prize corresponding to the number of balls.

The temporary storage device 105 is then reset in conjunction with the removal of the card 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.

As described in detail above, the present invention provides a safe ball case 7 and an out ball case 8 on the back side of each of the safe holes 5 and out holes 6, and a striking ball case 11 that connects each case 7 and 8. The foul ball passage 24 is connected to the game board 2.
Since the pachinko balls that are driven into the machine are naturally returned to the ball case 11 by falling under their own weight, there is no need to provide a return machine, a prize ball tank, and an out ball tank as in conventional pachinko machines. , the mechanical structure of the pachinko machine 1, so-called mechanism, can be simplified to reduce its cost, and the card league 19 for inserting a magnetic card M with a customer's address recorded thereon and reading this address, Since it is equipped with a memory means 89 for presetting the man-hour data corresponding to the address and a counting means 61 for adding and subtracting the ball value according to the winning and losing aspects of the balls hit, the movement of the pachinko balls by the hammer 14, that is, the winnings and losses. is converted into a digital signal and stored as a count, and the count value is sequentially stored in the corresponding address of the memory 89 corresponding to the address of the magnetic card M, so that a game can be played in the same way as a well-known pachinko machine. It is possible to provide a pachinko machine that is easy to handle.

Further, as shown in the embodiment, the reversible counter 61 and the central control device are separated, and the counter 61 is attached to each pachinko machine 1, while the central control device 59 is provided as part of the central management system, and the device 59 is attached to each pachinko machine 1. By making the storage capacity of the memory 89 correspond to the number of customers, it is possible to accommodate a much larger number of customers without increasing the number of reversible counters 61.Furthermore, the magnetic card M has an erasable memory. Only the addresses of unnecessary customers are magnetically recorded, and the man-hour data, which changes from time to time depending on the winnings and losses of balls, is written to the address corresponding to the address in the memory 89, so the magnetic recording of the magnetic card M is Since there is no need to erase the information recorded on the medium m or to record a new one, the card readers 19, 19', 19'' do not require an erasing magnetic head or writing capability, and therefore require less electricity. The circuit and its wiring work are also simpler, and there is no possibility of malfunctions due to erase errors or residual magnetic fields.

Furthermore, since the detector 49 is disposed at the end of the waiting ball gutter 32 near the rail 13, only the man-hours actually used for the game are subtracted each time the handle is operated. This eliminates the inconvenience of subtracting the man-hours that are not actually used in the game before the game is played.

Moreover, since the present invention is equipped with an end detection circuit 84 that detects when the ball value of the counting means reaches the end value, the game can be played within the scheduled number of prize balls for the day at the end of the preset gate. It is something that can be done.

Furthermore, the present invention allows the pachinko balls 12 to be launched without the need for switch operations as seen in conventional numerical pachinko machines, allowing continuous operation, and as a result, the fun of the game is halved. You can enjoy the game just like you would with a previous pachinko machine.

Furthermore, since there is no need to use a large number of wasteful cards as seen in conventional numerical pachinko machines, it is economical, and it is possible to provide a pachinko machine that is almost free from malfunctions and breakdowns.
