The present invention relates to a management apparatus for a pachinko game machine, which performs calculation based on a lending signal output from a ball lending machine installed in one-to-one correspondence with a pachinko game machine.

(Prior Art) In a pachinko hall, various pachinko game machines are usually installed, and among them, a so-called special prize in which a winning rate becomes extremely high when a predetermined condition is satisfied during a game. A pachinko game machine exhibiting a state is also included. However, with this kind of pachinko game machine, there is a situation that the profit margin of the pachinko hall side will be significantly reduced if a game with pachinko balls acquired by another pachinko game machine is carried out. . For this reason, in pachinko halls, for certain pachinko game machines, only games using newly lent pachinko balls are allowed, and pachinko balls obtained by playing with other pachinko game machines are brought in. It has been practiced to ban games.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In order to prohibit a game using a brought-in pachinko ball as described above, the presence or absence of a player who brings a pachinko ball acquired by another pachinko game machine to a specific pachinko game machine is determined. Need to be monitored. However, such monitoring not only has the disadvantage of requiring a lot of manpower, but also has the problem that it is difficult to always reliably find pachinko balls brought in.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to automatically determine that a pachinko game machine in which a game has been played with a pachinko ball brought in from another has occurred. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko game machine management device which has an effect of easily and surely finding a player with a brought-in pachinko ball.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention manages a pachinko game machine by controlling an out ball number signal and a safe ball number signal output from the pachinko game machine side. In a device configured to perform a balance calculation based on a lending signal output from a ball lending machine installed so as to correspond to the pachinko game machine on a one-to-one basis, A subtraction means for sequentially calculating the difference in the number of safe balls as the number of difference balls and initializing the calculation content every time the rental signal is output is provided, and the number of difference balls obtained by the subtraction means is equal to or more than a predetermined limit value. In such a case, a brought-in ball determination unit that determines that a brought-in ball has occurred is provided.

(Operation) In the device according to claim 1, when a game is being played on the pachinko game machine, an out ball number signal and a safe ball number signal are output from the pachinko game machine side, and the subtraction means operates the respective ball. While sequentially calculating the difference between the number of out balls and the number of safe balls indicated by the number signal as the number of difference balls,
The calculation contents are initialized each time a lending signal is output (that is, each time a lending operation is performed by the ball lending machine).

Therefore, the difference ball number calculated by the subtraction means that is initialized at the timing as described above is determined in a state where the game in the pachinko game machine is accompanied by the ball lending operation by the corresponding ball lending machine. If the game is played with a pachinko ball brought in from another player, it will increase by the number of pachinko balls brought in. Then, when the difference ball number obtained by the subtraction means is equal to or more than a predetermined limit value, the brought-in ball judgment means comes to judge that a brought-in ball has occurred, so that the pachinko ball brought in from another is used. This makes it possible to reliably find the player who has made the game without requiring a large amount of manpower.

In the apparatus according to claim 2, when a game is being played on the pachinko game machine, an out ball number signal and a safe ball number signal are output from the pachinko game machine side,
The subtraction means sequentially calculates the difference between the number of out-balls and the number of safe balls indicated by the above-mentioned ball number signals as the number of difference balls.

The state in which the number of difference balls obtained by the subtraction means is larger than the number of pachinko balls indicated by the lending signal from the ball lending machine by a predetermined value or more corresponds to a state in which pachinko balls are brought in from another pachinko game machine. In such a state, the brought-in ball judging means judges that a brought-in ball has occurred. Therefore, also in this case, it is possible to reliably find the player using the pachinko ball brought in from another person without requiring a lot of manpower.

In this embodiment, the driving setting value Na is set to zero. 14 in the comparison unit, which compares the numerical signal N ₃ from the subtracting unit 8 and the hammering setting value Na,
In the state of Na ≦ N ₃ , that is, when the pachinko game machine 1 is in the driving state (the number of out balls is larger than the number of safe balls) and the difference ball number is zero or more, the driving of the high level signal is performed. It is in a state where the signal Sa is output, and in other states, a state where a low level signal is output. The output of the comparator 14 is supplied to the gate terminal of the transfer gate 6 after being inverted by the inverter 15.

Reference numeral 16 denotes an out ball counting unit which receives the counting pulse P ₁ via the input unit 5, which is initialized through a reset terminal R, and sequentially adds the input counting pulse P _1. and it outputs the addition result as a numeric signal N ₄ indicating the number of out-ball after the initialization. 17 is a safe ball counting unit that receives via the input unit 5 to the counting pulse P _2,
It is adapted to be initialized through the reset terminal R, sequentially adds the count pulses P ₂ that is input and outputs the addition result as numerical signal N ₅ indicating the number of safe ball after the initialization. 18 is a subtractor serving subtraction unit, which performs an operation of subtracting the safe number ball indicated by the numerical signal N ₅ from the out ball numbers shown by numerical signal N _4, each counter 16, 17 a result of the operation and outputs as a numerical signal N ₆ illustrating the difference numbers balls of pachinko game machine 1 after initialization.

Thus, the out ball number counting section 16, to each reset terminal R of the safe ball number counting unit 17, and so the counting pulses P ₃ from the ball lending machine 2 is input through the input unit 19,
Each of the counting units 16 and 17 is initialized each time the ball lending machine 2 performs a pachinko ball lending operation. Therefore, the subtraction unit 18
Computations in the becomes to be initialized for each input of the counting pulses P _3, numerical N ₆ output from the subtraction unit 18, the pachinko game in later when the loan operation of ball lending machine 2 is performed This is data indicating the number of difference balls of the machine 1.

Although not shown, the numerical signal N ₇ is used to sales management to the ball lending machine 2.

A limit value storage unit 21 stores a predetermined alarm limit value Nx. In this case, as the limit value Nx, for example, a numerical value indicating the number of pachinko balls equivalent to 50 yen is set. I have. 22 in the comparison unit serving bring ball judging means, which compares the numerical signal N ₆ from the subtraction unit 18 and the limit value Nx, Nx
When the state of ≦ N _6, an alarm signal Sx when the difference number ball in the pachinko game machine 1 is equal to or larger than the limit value Nx in a state that is lending operations of pachinko balls by ball lending machine 2 has not been It is configured to output. Reference numeral 23 denotes a signal holding unit, which is configured to hold the output state of the alarm signal Sx during a period from when the alarm signal Sx is output to when the alarm signal Sx is initialized by an external signal through the reset terminal R. In the state where the warning signal Sx is output from the signal holding unit 23, the game in the pachinko game machine 1 is prohibited while the power of the pachinko ball firing device of the pachinko game machine 1 is shut off, for example. The display of the machine number of the pachinko game machine 1, the generation of a notification sound, and the like are performed.

 Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.

During state game is being performed by the pachinko game machine 1, the count from the pachinko game machine 1 pulses P ₁ and P ₂ are output, people out number ball each from the out-ball counter 4 and 16 adds the count pulses P ₁ with numerical signals N ₁ and N ₄ is output indicating a numerical signal N ₂ and N ₅ shows the respective number of balls safe from safe ball count unit 7 and 17 adds the count pulse P ₂ is output. Thus, the subtraction units 8 and 18 sequentially calculate the difference between the numerical signals N ₁ and N _{2 and} the difference between the numerical signals N ₄ and N ₅ ,
Outputs each operation result as numerical signal N ₃ and N ₆ shows the difference number balls each pachinko game machine 1, in this case, the state valued signals N ₃ from the subtraction portion 8 is greater than or equal to zero, that is the pachinko game machine 1 Is in the driving state, the driving signal Sa (high-level signal) is output from the comparing section 14, and the driving signal Sa is inverted to a low-level signal by the inverter 15 and To the gate terminal. Thus, now the transfer gate 6 prevents the passage of count pulses P _1,
Therefore, while the pachinko game machine 1 is in the driving state,
Adding operation count pulse P ₁ by out ball counting unit 4 is stopped, thereby for the pachinko ball number became struck state by the player in the pachinko game machine 1, which is a difference ball number of subtraction in the subtraction unit 8 It will not be reflected in the result. As a result, when the pachinko game machine 1 is hit after being played by two or more players, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the number of pachinko balls obtained by the player becomes greater than the hitting set value Nz. .

On the other hand, the state the numerical signal N ₃ is in a negative value, that is, when in the state in which the player has won pachinko balls, since never hammering signal Sa is output from the comparator unit 14, transfer gate 6 and allowing the passage of the count pulse P _1. In this state, when the difference number balls pachinko ball number a player win is calculated by subtracting unit 8 increases is increased in the negative direction, the numerical signal N ₃ Te than reaches the hitting stop set value Nz is ,
The stop signal Sz is output from the comparison unit 10 and the signal holding unit 11 holds the stop signal Sz.
, The pachinko game machine 1 is switched to the hit state. In order to release such a hitting state, the release means 12 is operated to output a reset pulse RP, and the out ball counting unit 4, the safe ball counting unit 7, and the signal holding unit 11 are thereby initialized. Good.

In addition, the subtraction unit 18 calculates the difference in the number of balls by the game in the pachinko game machine 1 as described above.
Initialized each time the counting pulse P ₃ is output (each lending operation by clogging ball lending machine 2 is performed) from. Therefore, the numerical signal N ₆ from the subtraction unit 18, which is initialized at the timing described above, is transmitted in a state where the game in the pachinko game machine 1 is accompanied by the ball lending operation by the ball lending machine 2 corresponding to the game. In a state where the pachinko ball is brought into play, the value is changed to a value near zero. However, when a game is played with a pachinko ball brought in from another player, the number increases by the number of the brought pachinko ball. And 50 from the other
When a pachinko ball equivalent to or more than a circle is brought in, the numerical signal N ₆ increases to the limit value Nx or more, and when such a state is reached, the comparison unit 22 determines that the brought-in ball is generated. The alarm signal Sx is output upon determination, and accordingly, the game in the pachinko game machine 1 is prohibited, and at the same time, the display of the machine number of the pachinko game machine 1 and the operation of generating the notification sound are performed. You will be As a result, the player using the pachinko ball brought in from another is notified by the above-mentioned alarm signal.
Based on Sx, it can be reliably found without requiring a lot of manpower.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, and only the portions different from the first embodiment will be described below.

That is, in the second embodiment, the out ball counting section 16
The alarm signal Sx from the comparing unit 22 is given to each reset terminal R of the safe ball counting unit 17 after being delayed by a predetermined short time by the delay circuit 24. Therefore, the numerical signal N ₆ output from the subtractor 18 is the alarm signal Sx
Is the data indicating the number of difference balls of the pachinko game machine 1 from the time point when is output. The numerical signal N ₇ from the loan amount counting unit 20 is given to the adding unit 26 after being converted by the converting unit 25 into a numerical signal N ₈ indicating the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the loan amount indicated by the numerical signal N _7. Can be The addition unit 26 adds the limit value Nx from the numerical signal N ₈ and limit value storage unit 21, and supplies the comparator 22 with the addition result as a numeric signal N _9. In this case, the comparison unit 22 is in a state of N ₉ ≦ N ₆ (however, N ₉ = N ₈
+ Nx), that is, an alarm signal Sx is output when the difference ball number obtained by the subtracting unit 18 is larger than the limit value Nx by more than the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the lending amount by the ball lending machine 2. .

Here, the number of difference balls indicated by the numerical signal N ₆ from the subtraction unit 18 is the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the lending amount (lending amount by the ball lending machine 2) indicated by the numerical signal N ₇ from the lending amount counting unit 20. from the above Nx often state (indicated by N ₈₎ is equivalent from another pachinko game machine 1 to Nx or more state pachinko balls is brought, at the time of this state,
The comparator 22 determines that a carry-on ball has occurred and outputs an alarm signal Sx. Therefore, also in this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to reliably find a player using a pachinko ball brought in from another person without requiring a large number of hands.
