Description of the invention (17) Orange is displayed. When the medal passes any detection piece 6 When 3 A to 6 3 C and its drop is measured, the performance light of the detector lights up for a given period of time, and the falling detection piece that measures the medal is illuminated with its color. This illumination shows the player that the checker fits. In addition to the medals falling without touching any of the detectors, the medals impacting on any of the detectors 6 3 A to 6 3 C are also slidably dropped along the medal launcher not shown and are guided to the figure The disc 1 shown at 1 is thus returned to the player. As described above, the waiting position is determined based on the weights of the detection elements 6 3 A to 6 3 C, and the non-contact detection is performed using the photointerrupter 65. Therefore, there are no shortcomings such as detection failure caused by the detection elements 6 3 A to 6 3 C stopping at an unplanned posture, or unstable detection caused by failure of the electrical contact. In addition, it is not necessary to install a recovery energizing mechanism including a spring and / or a driving mechanism for turning back to the rotary position. The payout rate adjusting mechanism 70 shown in Figs. 9 and 10 is configured to control the medal dropped from the end 41b (refer to Fig. 8) of each fixed plate 41, which is closer to the center of the game system. In general, a structure in which medals are dropped from a portion of the fixing plate 41 other than the set normal medal dropping hole and these medals are not returned to the player is called a "recycling mechanism". This mechanism is set to adjust the overall payout rate of the push game system. In the recycling mechanism, a part of the medal on the fixed plate 41 is dropped into a medal supply mechanism (that is, a spare funnel 1 1 0) which will be described later in the push game system, so that the player does not aware.

The payout rate adjustment mechanism 70 of this embodiment solves this problem. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the payout rate adjustment mechanism 70 has Position the adjustment plate 71 to disturb the falling of the medal, linearly drive the linear motor 7 2 of the adjustment plate 7 1 along the end 4 1 b, guide the moving element rail 7 3 of the linear motor 7 2, and fix the rail 7 3 Attachment 7 4 on the fixing plate 41, and three photointerrupters (see FIG. 9) for detecting the position of the adjustment plate 71. As shown in FIG. 9, the adjustment plate 7 1 is attached so that it is a part Protruding upward to the surface of the fixing plate 41 to And is driven by the linear motor 7 2 in the EF direction (refer to FIGS. 8 and 9). As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the detection claw 7 1 b is formed by folding the lower end of the adjustment plate 7 1. By controlling And stop the linear motor 7 2 at the position where the detecting claw 7 1 b intercepts the 'crazy light interrupter 7 5', the position of the adjustment plate 7 1 can be changed in three stages. As shown in FIG. 9, the adjustment plate 7 1 Contains an inclined portion 7 1 a formed by oblique cutting. Therefore, moving the adjustment plate 7 1 in the EF direction allows it to move with a range where the adjustment plate 7 1 protrudes upward beyond the end 4 1 b of the fixing plate 41. Although not shown in FIG. 9, on the left side (the side in the E direction) of the left end of the adjustment plate 71, a wall is formed to prevent the medal from falling from the end 4 1 b. As a result, the medal can only fall from the opening formed on the wall. That is, in FIG. 9, the medal can be dropped only from the range formed on the right side of the protruding portion of the adjustment plate 71. Therefore, when the adjustment plate 71 is moved in the E direction, there is no protrusion thereof. The scope of the existence of the copy has been widened, so the paper size of the medal is adapted to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21 0 X 297 public love). 21. ≪ Jing Xian "Read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) 〇-1 I — — — — — — I— · 1111111 — / VI!

As shown in FIG. 8, another adjusting plate 76 is movably disposed in the GH direction at a position near the outer peripheral end 4 1 c of the fixing plate 41. This adjustment plate 7 6 is formed in a shape similar to the adjustment plate 71 described above. As with the adjustment plate 7 1, selecting the position of the adjustment plate 7 6 in the GH direction can adjust the drop rate of the medal from the end 4 1c. The adjustment plate 76 is driven by a linear motor 77 (refer to FIG. 18), and its position is detected by the photointerrupter 78 (refer to FIG. 18). In terms of function, the linear motor 7 7 is similar to the aforementioned linear motor 72, and the photointerrupter 7 8 is similar to the aforementioned photointerrupter 75. The medal falling from the fixed plate .4 1 will always pass any one of its ends 4 1 a, 4 1 b, and 4 1 c. There is no other way for the medal to fall. Therefore, as described above, adjusting the degree to which medals can be dropped from the end ivl b or 4 1 c results in adjustment of the ratio between the number of medals dropped from one end 4 1 a and the number of medals dropped from the remaining ends 41b and 41c. By controlling the falling rate of the medal from the end 4 1 b or 4 1 c, the payout rate with respect to the number of medals invested can be adjusted. For example, lowering the drop rate leads to higher payout rates. Conversely, by increasing the drop rate, the payout rate can be reduced. Alternatively, in another example, there is a structure in which two areas in the vicinity of each of the ends 4 1 b and 4 1 c are covered with an appropriate member. This structure can hide the falling of the medal from the end 41b or 41c without being affected by the player's paper size.

In this game system, a medal is obtained for each point that passes through a number of internally designated points. According to the obtained number, calculate the actual payout rate or payoff rate related payoff, and move the adjustment boards 71 and 76 according to the calculated payoff rate. Through this control, the payout rate can be set to the desired payoff rate. As shown in Figures 2.6 A to 2 6 C, another example is that the adjustment plate 1 7 1 can be set to move in the longitudinal direction and change the width of the channel defined by its inclined portion 1 7 1 a. Figures 26A to 26C show Adjustment plate 1 71 — The state of lowering little by little. The lower the height position of the adjustment plate 1 7 1 is, the wider the passage of the medal is, and the easier it is for the medal to fall from the end 4 1 b. The installation position of the adjustment device that changes the flow of the medal is not limited to adjustment The positions of the plates 7 1 and 76. As long as the flow of the medals is changed, the adjustment of the payout rate and others can be installed at any position. In addition, although the channel width of the medals is changed in the above example to change the flow of the medals However, in another example, a member that interferes with the flow of the medal may be movably arranged.

Description of the invention (23) In the case of preventing the main funnel 1 20 from having such a failure. As shown in Fig. 12, the design in which the medals are scattered at the center of the game system forces the main funnel 120 to be placed at the center. In contrast, since the spare funnel 1 i 0 can be placed closer to the outer circumference of the game system, it is easy if the door 1 4 (refer to FIG. 1) of each station ST 1 (to S D 6) is opened. Check the spare funnel 1 2 0. Leak -ij- can be repaired in a very convenient way. When considering suppressing the clogging of medals in the main funnel, it is better to match the structure of the mechanism and / or container for transferring medals placed in the main funnel 120 and the spare funnel 110. Another configuration may also be adopted, in which the conditions for passing the medals in the spare funnel 110 are deliberately set so that once the medals passed in the spare funnel 110 are passed, they will not cause blockage in the main funnel 120. In addition, in the above-mentioned configuration, a backup funnel is provided > L 10, so that the medal launcher can be set with a large slope (here, the slope of the medal launcher 83). Therefore, it is unlikely that the medal will jam on the medal launcher. In addition, according to the amount of medals that have been accumulated in the main funnel 120, the spare funnel 110 can be switched between its operating and non-operating states. For example, 'can be switched so that medals are only sent out from the backup funnel 1 10 when the amount of medals mentioned above is less than a given amount. The control implemented in this way can distribute the aggregated number of medals circulating between the main funnel 120 and the backup funnel 110, increasing the entire medal circulation amount. Figure 16 shows another possible example, in which the medals are transported by the escalator 1 1 4A arranged in the spare funnel 1 1 4A almost upwards, and then the Chinese national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X four 7 Public Love > -26- .r Q -ϋ · 1 * 1 r— ϋ I · ϋ _ϋ (Please read the notes on the back before filling in this I > Order.

Next, in step S306, the drive control unit 2 Ola rotationally drives the turntable drive motor 201 (refer to FIG. 17). This control rotates the rotary table 31. In step S307, the drive control unit 202a drives the gate driving motor 202 to open the designated gate or gates based on the data read in step S303. Through the opened gate, a large number of medals are supplied from the rotary table 31 to the designated one or more sections (SC 1 to SC 6). In step S 3 0 8, it is determined whether the count of the medal count sensor 1 2 8 has been counted. Reaching the designated count (target count) read in step S303. When it is determined that the count has been reached, the process proceeds to step S309. Conversely, when the determination is no (尙 did not arrive), the steps' S 3 0 8 are repeated. Then at step S309, the drive control units 204 and 205 stop the main funnel motor 123 and the medal discharge motor 126b, respectively. As a result, the medal stopped blowing out.

Description of the invention (34) The motor 202 is moved to close the opened gate. At step S3 14, the drive control unit 20a controls to stop the turntable driving motor 201, which stops the turntable 31. In step S315, the medal ejection flag is set to "OFF j, and then switch back." The control of the payout rate is described below with reference to Fig. 25. The processing of Fig. 25 is performed by the station c PU of each station. At step S4 0 1 'Read the coincidence flag, and as long as the coincidence flag is "ON", the process proceeds to step S 4 0 7. Conversely, if the flag is "OFF", the process proceeds to step S402, where the number of medals embedded in the medal game system at a given time (referred to as "r medal bonus 读取") is read, and the medal bonus 値Accept the determination of whether it is greater than a predetermined given threshold. If the determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S 403, and if the determination is NO, the process returns to step S 401. The medal bonus is counted using the detection signal from the medal input sensor 1 3 b and the medal count sensor '. I 2 8 and is sequentially stored in the register of each station CPU 3 0 0 . While the game system is operating, the total number of embedded (i.e., the total number of embedded medals) is continuously updated. At step S403, by comparing the actual payout rate or the correlation (or others) related to the actual payout rate or others with the target payout rate or target, the adjustment boards 7 1 and 7 6 (Figure 8) can be calculated.

Description of the invention (35) Step S 4 0 5 'The total number of embeddings is reset to "0", and then the process is switched back. Therefore, in step S402, the judgment is performed based on the data accumulated after the total number of embeddings is reset to the interval at which it reaches a given frame. The total number of embeddings and the actual payout rate or correlation can be either integers or averages related to arbitrarily set intervals. For example, an integer 値 or average 値 calculated from the time the game system was opened to the current time may be used. Alternatively, use one day (24 hours) or one hour before. You can also arbitrarily set the target payout rate or target 値. These target rates or 値 can be defined as fixed 値 at any time, so that the payout rate is close to a given 値. Alternatively, these target rates or 値 can be changed according to the progress of the game. In addition, these target rates or 値 may vary based on the total number of embeddings for each specified time zone, day, or each specified one-hour or several-hour period in a day. It is also possible for the operator to manually set these target rates or designs. ‘,’ Payout rates can be set differently for different stations. In this case, the payout rate per station can be a configuration determined by taking the payout rate of the entire game system into consideration. Specifically, for example, the adjustment plate 71 used to adjust the payout rate in the payout rate adjusting mechanism 70 described above is controlled at only three positions, so the payout rate adjustment is relatively rough to some extent. To overcome this difficulty, the adjustment board 71 can be positioned differently from station to station '. The payout rate of the entire game system can be averaged into a finer payout rate in a controlled manner. Another example is that the positions of the adjustment plates 71 for all the stations are not adjusted at one time, but the adjustment times are deviated from each other ', thereby providing the same effect as the above. In this case, the Chinese national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) is applied corresponding to the main paper size. 38-•.

Invention Description (36) This type of position control of the CPU processing adjustment board of CPU 2 0 0. In the case where the payout rate varies from station to station, the average value of these payout rates can be kept fixed, but the payout rate of each station varies randomly or regularly at each specified interval. As described above, after determining that the coincidence flag is "ON" in step S401, the process proceeds to step S407. The calculation similar to step S403 is performed in step S407, but in this step, the positions of the adjustment plates 7 1 and 76 are determined according to the ejection of the execution medal. In step S408, the adjustment plates 71 and 76 are moved to the determined position. At step S 409, the coincidence flag is set to "off" before turning back. After the matching flag set to "OFF" has been confirmed (step S 2 0 8 in FIG. 21), the medal is ejected (steps S221 and S 2 2 3 in FIG. 22), the adjustment plate 7 1 and 7 6 When the medal is ejected, it is already set at the desired position. Therefore, due to the fact that the positions of the adjustment plates 7 1 and 7 6 are adjusted each time the total number of embeddings reaches a given frame, the payout rate is correctly set in an automatic manner without the need for troublesome operation of the game system and Construction (steps S402 to S405 in FIG. 25). In the case where the medal ejection process is performed, a target rate different from the normal payout rate is set, and the adjustment plates 7 1 and 76 are driven in accordance with the target rate. Therefore, it can be achieved that the overall payout rate is accurately controlled, or the flow of medals is set to enhance the game characteristics (steps S 4 7 to S 4 0 9). In another example, the medals can be sprayed or rotated (Please read the note on the back before filling in this page) -f
