DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to relates to the security function with a table between ball lending machine to crack down on fraud against the pachinko machine or stand between the ball lending machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent pachinko parlors, dedicated pachinko ball lending machines are provided for each pachinko machine so that a ball can be borrowed without leaving a seat, thereby improving user convenience. Normally, this kind of tama ball lending machine is continuously used without exchanging pachinko machines even when exchanging pachinko machines for opening a new store or the like.

[0003] By the way, as a fraudulent act on a pachinko machine, a high-power radio wave is applied to the pachinko machine, or a high-voltage current is supplied, thereby causing a malfunction of a CPU for controlling the pachinko machine. A fraudulent act of replacing a ROM for controlling a pachinko machine with a so-called set ROM, which is modified to be a big hit by a specific irregular hitting method (hereinafter referred to as an irregular hitting), is rampant.

[0004] For this reason, it is common practice to install security cameras in appropriate places in pachinko parlors and use them to check for illegal acts and to identify fraudulent persons. Also, recently, the pachinko machine itself is provided with a receiving means for receiving radio waves output from a wireless device or the like, and the radio waves received by the receiving means are provided at a predetermined level.
If the above threshold value, as has been made fraud by radio waves, or configured to alert, in order to prevent abuse by set ROM, to incorporate the checker to detect a set ROM , Has been taken measures.

[0005]

By the way, when an illegal act is found, the crime is proved by a video taken by a security camera. Usually, the security camera captures an image of the store from near the ceiling. Therefore, since it obtained only images from the oblique, it may not be sufficient for certain criminal.
In addition, even in the case of fraudulent activities involving replacement of a set ROM, which is currently the most problematic, in order to prevent the perpetrators from appearing in the security camera, fraudulent activities may be carried out by multiple colleagues. If you become a goto, you can exchange it in about one minute, so it is often not possible to identify the culprit with a security camera alone. Further, the illegal act due to the ROM exchange may be carried out by embracing a clerk or a security officer who is familiar with the internal situation of the pachinko parlor, and in such a case, it becomes more difficult to prove the crime. On the other hand, it is conceivable to attach a security camera to the pachinko machine itself and take an image of the crime scene as close as possible. However, in order to replace the pachinko machine each time it is used for one year, for example, it is necessary to incorporate such a security device. This imposes a heavy financial burden on pachinko parlor owners. In addition, when a new device is installed in a pachinko machine, it is necessary to obtain approval each time, and the procedure becomes complicated.

An object of the present invention is to reduce the economic burden,
