Good. When the selection operation switch 124 is operated, a switch-off signal is output from the game medium ejection device inactivation detection means 3
The game medium discharge device inactivation detection means 310 generates an inactivation signal based on the switch-off signal, and outputs the signal to the ball lending control means 320. As a result, the ball lending control means 320 detects that the ball lending cannot be performed, and the player inadvertently uses the ball lending button 1
The ball lending operation is controlled so that the ball lending operation is not performed even if 23 is operated. Thereafter, when the player wishes to lend a ball, the selection operation switch 124 may be operated again. That is, when the selection operation switch 124 is pressed again, a switch-on signal is output to the game medium discharge device activation detection means 300, and the game medium discharge device activation detection means 300 is activated based on the switch-on signal. And outputs the signal to the ball lending control means 320. As a result, control is performed so that the ball lending button 123 is enabled.

It is also conceivable that troubles such as clogging of the game balls may occur during the prize ball discharging operation. In order to solve the troubles, when the front frame 102 is opened by a game store clerk, When the front frame opening detector 108 detects the opening and outputs a detection signal to the game medium ejection device inactivation detection means 310, the game medium ejection device inactivation detection means 310 is disabled based on the detection signal. An activation signal is generated and the signal is output to the ball lending control means 320. As a result, the game lending operation is controlled so that the ball lending operation is not performed even if the game store clerk inadvertently operates the ball lending button 123. In this case, after the trouble is resolved, the front frame opening detector 108 detects the closing of the front frame 102 at the stage when the front frame 102 is closed, and sends a detection signal of the detection to the activation of the game medium discharge device. When output to the detection means 300, the game medium discharge device activation detection means 300
Generates an activation signal based on the detection signal and outputs the activation signal to the ball lending control means 320. As a result, "H"
A level signal is introduced into the ball lending control means 320, and conditions for performing the ball lending operation are set.

By the way, the player may operate the ball lending button 123 immediately after winning without knowing the winning of the game ball. In this case, the prize ball discharge control means 4
20 priority discharge control means 500
Then, a ball lending request signal is output from the ball lending control means 320 to the priority discharge control means 500. The priority discharge control means 500 gives priority to the prize ball discharging operation. Control.

When a special game is started, a special game state signal is output to the priority discharge control means 500 by the special game state detection signal delay means 450 after a lapse of a predetermined time, and the discharge operation by ball lending is restricted. It has become.

At the end of the special game, the game continuation disabling control means 130B controls the control signal for disabling the game based on the detection signal and the end signal output from the special game state end detecting means 130A. Is output to the launching device control means 130C and the power supply circuit control means 130D, respectively. As a result, the launcher control means 130C controls the motor of the launcher to stop based on the control signal, and the power supply circuit control means 130D controls the power supply to be turned off based on the control signal. Can not continue the game. In such a case, the display control means 130F and the sound effect generating means 130G connected to the game continuation disabling control means 130B notify the player that the game cannot be continued based on the control signal.

When a player who wishes to play a game with the same gaming machine continuously operates the ball lending button 123, a ball lending button signal is input to the cancellation command signal control means 130E,
The cancellation command signal control means 13 based on the ball lending button signal
0E sends the game restart signal to the game continuation disabling control means 13
Output to 0B. As a result, the game continuation disabling control unit 130B outputs a control signal to the launching device control unit 130C and the power supply circuit control unit 130D to perform control so that the game can be restarted.

If the player wants to end the game at the gaming machine without continuing, the detecting means 130H
Is output to the cancellation command signal control means 130E so that the game can be restarted. Therefore, the management effort of the game store is reduced.

Next, the ball lending control means 320 and the card reader 21 related to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
0, the award ball discharge control means 420, the special game state detection signal delay means 450, the priority discharge control means 500, and the game medium discharge control means 650 will be described in detail.

The ball lending control means 320 includes a ball lending button 1
23, a ball lending number setting unit 321 for setting the number of game balls to be lent to the player in advance based on the output of the ball lending number setting SW 320A for setting the number of game balls to be lent by one operation of the card balance signal ( The card balance is determined by comparing the card balance with the ball lending number set by the ball lending number setting unit 321 based on the card balance to determine whether the requested ball lending number can be lent within the range of the card balance.

A card balance signal indicating the card balance output from the card reader 210 is input to the card balance comparison determination unit 322. The card balance signal is also input to the drive control means 320H, and the drive control means 320H controls the balance display 122b to display the balance based on the card balance signal. The ball lending button signal generated when the ball lending button 123 is operated is output to the AND gate 320A. At this time, "H" is output from the output terminal Q bar of the flip-flop 320B reset to the AND gate 320A. A level signal (reset signal) is output, and when the special game state is not being output from the special game state detection signal delay unit 450 when the special game state is not set, the AND gate 320A is set to “H”. And outputs a signal of "level" (a ball lending possible signal) to the AND gate 320C.
That is, by inputting the ball lending button signal, the reset signal, and the normal game state signal, the AND gate 320A detects that the ball lending is being performed, and outputs the AND signal at the “H” level. The data is output to the gate 320C. The AND gate 320C outputs a ball lending signal to the card balance comparison / determination unit 322 based on the signal from the ball lending number setting unit 321 and the “H” level signal. Based on the lending ball number signal and the card balance signal, the card balance comparison determining unit 322 compares the card balance with the lending ball number, and can lend the requested lending number within the range of the card balance. If it is determined that it can be performed, a determination signal is output to the flip-flop 320D. The flip-flop 320D to which the judgment signal is input changes to the set state, and the output terminal Q
, The ball lending request signal is output to the priority discharge control means 500.

However, when the special game state signal is output from the special game state detection signal delay means 450, or when the "L" level signal is output from the output terminal Q bar of the flip-flop 320B. The AND gate 320A does not output the ball lending enable signal. The case where the flip-flop 320B is set and outputs an "L" level signal is as follows. That is, the panel opening detector 107 detects that the panel 105 has been opened, and based on the detection, a detection signal output to the game medium ejection device inactivation detection means 310 and the selection operation switch 124 The front frame opening detector 108 detects that the front frame 102 has been opened by operating the switch-on signal output to the game medium ejection device inactivation detection means 310 when operated, and the game is performed based on the detection. The detection signal output to the medium ejection device inactivation detection means 310 or the metal frame 104
The metal frame opening detector 106 detects that the game medium has been opened, and based on one of the detection signals output to the game medium discharge device inactivation detection means 310 based on the detection, the game medium Ejection device inactivation detection means 31
0 is a case where an inactivation signal is output to the flip-flop 320B. On the other hand, when the flip-flop 320B changes to the reset state, the panel open detector 1
07, a switch-on signal from the selection operation switch 124, a front-frame closing detection signal from the front-frame opening detector 108, and a metal-frame closing detection signal from the metal-frame opening detector 106. Are output to the game medium discharge device activation detection means 300, respectively, and the game medium discharge device activation detection means 300 outputs an activation signal to the reset terminal of the flip-flop 320B based on these signals. .

When a ball lending operation is started by the game medium discharging device 170 based on the ball lending request signal, the priority discharging control means 500 outputs a ball lending discharging signal from the AND gate 320E and AND gate 320E. A discharge ball detection signal output to the AND gate 320E is also output to the AND gate 320E, and is output by the game medium discharge device drive control means 620 each time the discharge sensor 730A, 730B of the game medium discharge device 170 detects a discharge ball. Is done.
As a result, a subtraction signal is output from the AND gate 320E to the ball lending number counting unit 323.

As a result of counting by the ball lending number counting unit 323, when the number of ejected balls reaches the number set by the ball lending number setting unit 321, the ball lending number counting unit 323 sends a zero signal to the AND gate 320F. As a result, the AND gate 320F outputs the lending discharge signal to the priority discharge control means 500 and the game medium discharge control means 650, respectively.

The zero signal is supplied to an AND gate 320G.
And the zero signal and the AND gate 32
The AND gate 320G outputs a ball lending number set signal to the ball lending number counting unit 323 based on the ball lending number signal output by 0C and the determination signal output by the guard balance comparison determination unit 322. Ball lending counter 32
3 is reset.

The ball discharging end signal is also output to a reset terminal of the flip-flop 320D.
The flip-flop 32 based on the lending discharge signal
0D is changed to the reset state, and the output of the ball lending request signal is stopped. Further, the ball lending discharge signal is also output to the card reader 210.

FIG. 9 is a detailed block diagram of the card reader 210. The card reader 210 reads the data written in the pre-bay card 210A when the pre-bay card 210A is inserted into the card 2
Card balance reading means 211 for reading the balance of 10A,
The card balance is stored based on the signal output by the card balance reading means 211, and the card balance signal is output to the card balance determination means 213 and the card balance comparison determination part 322 of the ball lending control means 320. Means 2
12, card balance determination means 213 for determining the presence or absence of a card balance based on a card balance signal from the card balance storage means 212, and the ball lending discharge output by the priority discharge control means 500 while holding the card 210A. When the middle signal is not input, the card 210A is returned based on the card return signal output by pressing the card return button 210B or the zero balance signal output by the card balance determination means 213, and The card holding control means 21 for returning the card 210A after discharging the game ball when the discharging signal is input.
Based on the card holding signal output by the card holding control unit 214 and the card balance signal output by the card balance storage unit 212, the punching of the approximate punch hole of the balance corresponding to the card balance is controlled. Punch hole control means 21
5 based on the ball lending discharge signal output by the ball lending control means 320 and the card balance signal output by the card balance storage means 212, and rewrites the balance of the card 210A. Means 212 and card balance rewriting means 216 for outputting to the card 210A, respectively. When the balance is rewritten by the card balance rewriting means 216, the rewritten card balance signal is output to the drive control means 320H of the ball lending control means 320, and the drive control means 32
0H controls so that the display of the balance indicator 122b is updated.

Next, the configuration of the prize ball discharge control means 420 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The prize ball discharge control means 42
Reference numeral 0 denotes a winning storage unit 421 for storing a winning of a game ball into a winning opening based on a winning ball detection signal output by the winning ball detecting means 400, and a winning ball number setting unit 422 for presetting the number of winning balls.
And a prize ball number counting unit 423 for counting the number of game balls to be awarded when the prize ball is being executed.

The prize storage unit 421 transmits a prize ball discharge request signal to the priority discharge control unit 50 based on the storage of the prize.
0 and output to the AND gate 420A, respectively. When a request for prize ball discharge based on the prize ball discharge request signal is recognized by the priority discharge control means 500, a signal for discharging a prize ball is introduced from the priority discharge control means 500 to the AND gates 420A and 420B. The AND gate 420A sends an H level signal (award ball number setting) to the award ball number counting section 423 based on the award ball discharging signal, the award ball discharge request signal, and the setting signal output by the award ball number setting section 422. When the signal is output, the prize ball number counting unit 423 clears the storage of the previous prize ball count and stores a new prize ball count.

The AND gate 420B, which inputs the signal indicating that the prize ball is being discharged and the discharge medium detection signal output by the game medium discharge device drive control means 620, receives the number of prize balls every time the discharge ball detection signal is input. H in the counting section 423
Outputs a level signal (subtraction signal). Based on the subtraction signal, the prize ball count unit 423 subtracts the number of ejected balls from the number of prize balls, and outputs a zero signal to the AND gate 420C when the subtraction value becomes “0”. On the basis of the zero signal and the prize ball discharging signal, the AND gate 420C outputs the prize ball discharge end signal to the priority discharge control means 500. The zero signal is also output to the winning storage unit 421, and the winning storage unit 421 subtracts the number of winnings stored based on the zero signal.

Next, the configuration of the special game state detection signal delay means 450 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The special game state detection signal delay unit 450 includes a special game occurrence storage unit 451 that stores the occurrence of a special game based on a detection signal output when the special game state detection unit 410 detects the start of the special game, A timer 452 for counting the elapse of a predetermined time from the point at which the game has occurred, and a special game for storing detection of a special game state after the predetermined time based on a signal output from the timer 452 at the time when the predetermined time has elapsed. A state detection storage unit 453.

The special game state detection signal is output as a reset signal to the special game state detection storage section 453, and the special game state detection storage section 453 is output.
Is output as a reset signal to the special game occurrence storage section 451. From the special game occurrence storage section 451 of the special game state detection signal delay means 450 configured as described above, a delay state signal for delaying the output of the special game state signal when a special game occurs is output from the discharge prohibiting means. 670
Is output to the AND gate 670A. As a result, an L level signal is output from the AND gate 670A, thereby restricting the operation of the discharge prohibiting means 670. Then, the special state signal output after the predetermined time is output to the priority discharge control means 500 to control the operation of lending balls.

Next, the specific structure of the priority discharge control means 500 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The priority discharge control means 500 enters a set state based on a signal output by the AND gate 500A, maintains the set state until the ball lending operation is completed, and outputs the ball lending output from the ball lending control means 320. Ball discharging request signal holding means 501 that changes to the reset state based on the end signal
And the set state is maintained based on the signal output from the AND gate 500B. The set state is maintained until the prize ball operation is completed, and based on the prize ball discharge end signal output from the prize ball discharge control means 420. A prize ball discharge request signal holding unit 502 that changes to a reset state; a driving unit 503 that controls and drives the ball discharge indicator lamp 126;
Driving means 504 for controlling the display of the prize ball discharge display lamp 125.

When the game medium discharge control means 650 does not output the signal during the discharging operation, and when the ball lending request signal is output from the ball lending control means 320 to the AND gate 500C, the H level signal becomes The AND gate 5
Output to 00A. At this time, if no special game has occurred, and if the H level signal based on the prize ball discharge request signal has not been output from the prize ball discharge control means 420, an H level signal will be output from the AND gate 500D. The AND gate 500A outputs an H level signal (set signal) to the ball discharge request signal holding unit 501, and the ball discharge request signal holding unit 501 is set. The discharge request signal output by the lending ball discharge request signal holding means 501 is output to the game medium discharge control means 650 via the OR gate 500E.

On the other hand, when the game medium discharge control means 650 does not output the in-discharge signal, the prize ball discharge request signal is output from the prize ball discharge control means 420 to the AND gate 5.
When the signal is output to 00F, an H level signal is guided to the AND gate 500B. At this time, if no special game has occurred and the ball lending request signal has not been output from the ball lending control means 320, the AND gate 500G switches to H
As a result, a level signal is output, and the AND gate 500B outputs an H level signal (set signal) to the winning ball discharge request signal holding means 502. As a result, the award ball discharge request signal holding means 502 is set. The discharge request signal output from the prize ball discharge request signal holding means 502 is output to the game medium discharge control means 650 via the OR gate 500E.

It is to be noted that an H level signal is not output from the AND gate 500C and an H level signal is output from the AND gate 500F if a discharging operation signal is output from the game medium discharging control means 650. No, the ball lending request takes precedence if the ball lending request signal outputs a discharging operation signal, and conversely, the prize ball discharging request takes priority if a discharging operation signal caused by the prize ball discharging request signal is output. Will be done.

When a special game state signal is output to the AND gate 500D and an H level signal is output to the AND gate 500D via the AND gate 500F, the AND gate 500D is connected to the L level by the AND gate 500A. It will output a level signal. Therefore, at such a time, an L level signal is output from the AND gate 500A. This means that the special game state signal is output from the special game state detection storage unit 453 of the special game state detection signal delay unit 450 when a predetermined time has elapsed after the special game state has occurred. This means that a ball lending request is not recognized after a predetermined time has elapsed from the occurrence of the state. In such a case, an H-level signal is output from the AND gate 500G, and the prize ball discharge based on winning in the large winning opening of the variable winning device has priority. This is because the opening time of the large winning opening of the variable winning device is limited, so that more prize balls are given to the player within the opening time.

Incidentally, the above-mentioned ball lending discharge request signal holding means 50
1 is output to the driving unit 503 through an AND gate 500H.
Controls the lighting of the ball discharge indicator lamp 126. On the other hand, the discharge request signal output from the prize ball discharge request signal holding means 502 is output to the driving means 5 through an AND gate 500I.
The driving means 504 controls the lighting of the prize ball discharge display lamp 125.

Next, a detailed configuration of the game medium discharge control means 650 will be described with reference to FIG. The game medium discharge control unit 650 converts the output state into a set state based on the discharge request signal output from the priority discharge control unit 500 and maintains the set state, and the discharge operation storage unit 651 outputs A driving means 652 for controlling the operation of each of the discharge solenoids 741A and 741B of the game medium discharge device 170 based on the signal to be performed.

The discharge request signal output by the priority discharge control means 500 is output to the AND gate 650A. If the discharge inhibition signal has not been output from the discharge inhibition means 670 at this time, the AND gate 650A is set to H level.
The level signal is output to the discharge operation storage unit 651. As a result, the discharge operation storage unit 651 changes to the set state, and a drive command signal is output from the output terminal Q to the drive unit 652 via the AND gate 650B. The drive means 652 outputs a drive signal to the game medium discharge device drive control means 620 based on the drive command signal, and outputs the two signals in the game medium discharge device 170 based on the drive signal.
A pair of stoppers 7 provided in the middle of the guide gutter 710
Discharge solenoid 741 for operating 45A, 745B
A, 741B is excited. Then, the discharge sensor 730
A predetermined number of spare balls in each guide gutter 710 are discharged based on the respective detection signals of A and 730B. FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, the detection signal is output to the game medium discharge device drive control means 620, and the discharge ball detection means 620A provided in the game medium discharge device drive control means 620 outputs a discharge ball detection signal based on the detection signal. Is generated and output to the prize ball discharge control means 420 or the ball lending control means 320, respectively.

The discharge operation storage unit 651 outputs a discharge operation signal to the priority discharge control means 500, and also outputs a discharge operation signal to the AND gate 680A of the discharge interruption means 680. When the AND gate 680A outputs a discharge interruption signal to the AND gate 650B of the game medium discharge control means 650 based on a detection signal output when the panel open detector 107 detects the open state of the panel 105, The output of the drive command signal from AND gate 650B is stopped. The drive means 652 demagnetizes the discharge solenoids 741A and 741B to interrupt the discharge operation.

The ball lending discharge signal output by the ball lending control means 320 or the prize ball discharge end signal output by the prize ball discharge control means 420 is sent to the reset terminal of the discharge operation storage section 651 via the OR gate 650C. When output, the discharge operation storage unit 651 is reset.
As a result, the output terminal Q of the discharge operation storage unit 651 outputs an L level signal to the AND gate 650B, and the discharge operation is controlled to be stopped.

The discharge inhibiting means 670 of the discharge operation control system includes an AND gate 670A and an OR gate 670.
B. And the discharge prohibiting means 67
0 is output to the game medium discharge control means 650 is a detection signal output when the ball shortage detector 160 detects the ball shortage, the overflow detector 160
A is formed based on a detection signal output when A detects an overflow or a detection signal output from panel open detector 107. Since the special game state detection signal delay means 450 does not output the delay state signal before the special game occurs, the ball shortage detector 1
The 60 detection signals will be output to the OR gate 670B. However, after the special game occurs, the delay state signal output until the time set by the timer 452 of the special game state detection signal delay means 450 elapses is output to the AND gate 670A, and the ball shortage occurs. It is controlled so that the discharge prohibition signal based on the detection signal of the detector 160 is not output. This is because even if the ball shortage occurs immediately after the occurrence of the special game and the ball shortage detector 160 detects the ball shortage, the game medium discharging device 17
So that only the game balls remaining in 0 are discharged,
It is intended to continue the special game.

In the above embodiment, the launching device control means 130C and the power supply circuit control means 130D are disclosed as the game disabling means, but any means may be used as long as the game can be continued. For example, the operation dial of the hit ball firing device may not be able to be rotated at the time when the special game is finished.

In the above embodiment, the present invention is embodied in a pachinko game machine in which game balls consumed in the game are discharged to the supply tray 120 by the game medium discharge device 170, but is enclosed in the pachinko game machine. The present invention can be applied to a sealed game machine that uses game balls in circulation. Incidentally, 1112 shown in Figure 14 illustrating a sealed gaming machine 1000 is number of balls display for displaying the number of lifting ball which is lent to the player, and the player game media lending request operation means
Is given by operating the purchase switch 1113
