FIG. 5 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. The configuration and simple operation will be explained. Each of the plurality of pachinko gaming machines 11 is provided with a hit ball detector MC and a safe ball detector S. Here, the hit ball is a ball that a player hits a borrowed pachinko ball into the pachinko game machine 1 for playing, and in other words, it can be said to be a profit ball that is profitable for the game parlor. In addition, safe balls are pachinko balls that have entered a safe hole, etc. Based on this (4), a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to players, so in other words, this is a disadvantageous ball that is disadvantageous to the gaming hall. It can be said.

Note that an out ball may be detected instead of a hit ball, and a prize ball or a supply ball may be detected instead of a safe ball. In any case, it is sufficient to detect profitable balls related to the number of balls that are profitable for the gaming parlor and disadvantageous balls related to the number of balls that are disadvantageous to the gaming parlor. The output pulse a of the hit ball detector MC and the output pulse b of the safe ball detector S are given to a counter CT. counter C
T counts the batted balls and safe balls for each pachinko machine,
The coefficient output is given to memory M1. The memory M1 stores the number of batted balls and the number of safe balls for each pachinko machine 1, and also stores the subtraction number between the number of safe balls and the number of batted balls calculated by the calculation unit AU. Note that if any two of the numbers of batted balls, safe pitches, and subtraction numbers are known, the remaining one can be calculated, so memory M1 stores the number of batted balls, the number of safe pitches, and the number of safe pitches. It is also possible to store at least two numerical values out of the subtraction number and the subtraction number. Furthermore, preferably, the memory M1 stores the total number of batted balls and the number of safe balls for each pachinko machine 1 in a certain period (for example, one day), and stores the total number of batted balls and safe balls for each pachinko machine 1, and records the number of batted balls on the customer's side every time the customer changes. Memorize the number of close pitches and the number of safe pitches. The subtraction number (that is, difference information) of each pachinko machine 1 stored in this memory M1 is given to the stop control unit HC. This stop control unit HC is connected to the memory M
When the difference information of each pachinko machine 1 stored in the pachinko machine 1 reaches a predetermined number of stoppages (hereinafter referred to as a blank space), a stop signal C is given to the pachinko machine 1 to control the stoppage, and the pachinko machine 1 is also stopped. Stop display.

Each of the legal tender machines PLI to PLn is provided with means for detecting a negative number of balls. The legal tender number simulation output of each legal tender machine is temporarily stored in the memory M2.

The legal tender number information stored in the memory lJM2 is obtained by issuing a legal tender data derivation command by operating the operation panel OF2.
The data is read out and given to the arithmetic unit AU, where it is subjected to arithmetic processing. For example, when a customer inserts PLnK coins into a certain legal tender machine and borrows a predetermined number of pachinko balls to play, the legal tender detector generates one pulse in response to one coin insertion. Then, note down the number of pulses equal to the number of coins inserted!
Stored in JM2. The number of pulses is applied to the calculation unit AU, and the calculation unit AUi releases f in response to the coin insertion, ! The number of pachinko balls played is multiplied by the number of pulses to calculate the total number of legal coins of the legal rental machine. In this way, for example, when the total legal tender number information of a certain legal tender machine in one day is given to the central processing and control unit CACIC, the central processing unit CAC transmits the total information to the output control unit CC and the output adapter. It is applied to the J printer JRF via the OA for printing and recording, is applied to the display device IS for display, and is further applied to the VC magnetic disk MD2 for magnetic recording.

Each output 1 of the operation panel ○P1 to OP3 is given to the central processing and control unit as command information for the operation. The magnetic disk MDI reads a magnetic sheet on which program setting information is recorded in advance, and provides the information to the central processing/control unit OAC to execute a desired program calculation operation. The calculation output of this central calculation/control unit CAC is specified to be recorded or displayed by the output control unit CC.

For example, if you want to create a revenue statistical table for each pachinko machine for a certain period (for example, - months), press the numerical key NK included in the operation panel OP1 to select numbers from 1 to 5008, for example.
:f: Specify all the machines, and press the all machines total key TK4. Accordingly, the subtractive arguments for each pachinko machine stored in the memory Ml are read out by the central processing/@U units OA and C. This difference argument (that is, difference information) is applied to the 5-ki disk λiD2 through the output control unit CC and the output adapter OA, and is magnetically recorded on the magnetic sheet. In this way, the difference in performance for each pachinko machine during the - months is recorded on the magnetic sheet.

Next, the magnetic sheet is read out using a magnetic disc for bladder extraction. The difference for each pachinko machine during these months is given to the printer PRK via the central processing/control unit CAC, output control unit CC, and output adapter OA, and is expressed as a revenue statistical table as shown in No. 7M(a). Printed and recorded.

In addition, when creating a sales/prize exchange statistical table for each legal tender machine f'Ll to PLn, specify all legal tender machines P'L1 to PLn using the numerical key NK included in the sweep panel op2,
And the number of legal tenders of each legal tender machine stored in the memo 'JM2 is read out. This read information +, 1, once the magnetic disk M
