Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a centralized control device for pachinko halls that manages so-called retraction-type pachinko game machines.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in pachinko halls, the ratio between the amount of prizes exchanged and the amount of sales has been calculated and obtained as a so-called percentage indicating the business status of the pachinko hall. “In this case, the prize exchange amount can only be known after the pachinko hall has closed, so the sum of the differences between out balls and safe balls for each pachinko game machine is multiplied by the unit price per pachinko ball, and then It has been considered to calculate the above-mentioned division number by regarding the result as the prize exchange amount, so that the division number can be known even in the middle of business.However, when configured in this way, management When the target pachinko game machine was a so-called retraction type, there was a problem described below.In other words, in the case of a retraction type pachinko game machine, the pachinko balls that have been hit are stored in the lower tank. At the same time, the structure includes a return machine for returning the pachinko balls in the lower tank to the upper tank as needed, and when the number of pachinko balls in the lower tank increases to a predetermined number, the pachinko balls are returned to the upper tank. The balls are returned to the ball supply source via a collection passage, and the number of out balls is counted by an out ball counter provided in this passage.

In such a pachinko game machine, the lower tank starts empty when the pachinko hall starts operating, and thereafter, as the game progresses, the pachinko balls (out balls) that have been hit are stored in the lower tank. It looks like this,
As a result, the number counted by the out ball counter will be less than the actual number of out balls by the number corresponding to the number of pachinko balls in the lower tank. For this reason, there is a problem that the above-mentioned calculation of the divisor is unavoidably inaccurate, and in reality, when a payback type pachinko game machine is managed,
It was difficult to obtain an accurate percentage during sales.

[Purpose of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to control the ratio of prize exchange amount to sales amount while managing so-called cashback pachinko game machines. To provide a centralized control V device for a pachinko hall that can accurately check information even during the process.

[Summary of the Invention] The present invention adds a predetermined corrected number of balls to the difference between out balls and safe balls in a so-called return type pachinko game machine that is equipped with a lower tank, an upper tank, and a return machine, and adds a predetermined number of corrected balls to the difference between the out balls and safe balls, and adds a predetermined number of corrected balls to the difference between the out balls and safe balls, and adds a predetermined number of corrected balls to the difference between the out balls and the safe balls, and adds a predetermined number of corrected balls to the difference between the out balls and safe balls in a so-called return type pachinko game machine equipped with a lower tank, an upper tank, and a return machine. It is configured to multiply the unit price per 11 pieces and divide it by the sales amount of the pachinko hall, and based on this division result, generate a signal indicating the ratio of the prize exchange amount to the sales amount. This is designed to suppress calculation errors caused by pachinko balls in the tank as much as possible.
