[Action]
  In the present invention, PlaceIf it is determined that the supply of the next medal starts within a certain period of time, the medal temporarily stored in the medal hopper in the game machine is reduced by using the game machine to pay out the medal as a result of the game. When a medal is supplied from the medal supply line to the medal hopper, a predetermined time is counted. This predetermined time is set longer than the supply interval from the medal supply line to the medal hopper, which is usually generated when the game machine is used. Therefore, if the next medal supply starts within this predetermined time, it is determined to be illegal.
  If it is determined that fraud has been detected if the replenishment of medals continues for a predetermined time or longer, it is determined that the fraud is illegal if a single medal is replenished for a long period of time that is not normally performed. I am doing so.
  In response to concentrated medals being paid out as a result of the game, a predetermined amount of medals are replenished at one time when replenished from the medal supply line. What is to be done is that, as a result of the game, medals are paid out in a concentrated manner, the number of medals in the medal hopper of the game machine decreases, and when a medal is replenished from the medal supply line, a predetermined amount of medals are replenished multiple times. To be. When this replenishment count reaches the medal replenishment count for replenishing an amount exceeding the set medal concentrated payout amount obtained by adding a margin to the concentrated payout amount as a result of the game, it is determined that fraud has been detected.
  Corresponding to the concentrated payout of medals as a result of the game, when supplying medals from the medal supply line, a predetermined amount is replenished at one time, and if the number of supply exceeds the predetermined number, it is determined to be illegal. If the medal is not paid out in a concentrated manner as a result of the game, it is determined that the fraud is detected when the medal supply is started within a predetermined time after the medal supply starts. Detect fraud by performing different processing depending on the state.

[0009]
  In the gaming facility 1 of the first embodiment, a predetermined amount of medals is temporarily stored in the medal hopper 5a of the game machine 5. The medal m inserted by the person using the game through the medal insertion slot 5c of the game machine 5 is guided into the medal hopper 5a. When a medal is paid out as a result of the game, the medal is paid out from the medal hopper 5a to the medal tray 5e through the medal transport path 5d. The game machine of the first embodiment is a pachislot machine, and there are several types of game machines that differ in the amount of medals to be paid out to the medal tray of the game machine, such as big hits and small hits. In addition, although not shown, the game machine is provided with a credit device, and the medal to be paid out as a result of the game is displayed and counted so as to be visible to the person who plays the game without paying out, and the count number is used to count the medal. Instead of playing games. At the end of the game, medals corresponding to the counted number are paid out to the medal tray 5e of the game machine by the operation of the game player. When the amount of medals in the medal hopper 5a is reduced by paying out such medals, the medal m does not contact the sensor portion of the touch sensor 5b provided in the medal hopper 5a. Then, the touch sensor 5b is turned off. ON / OFF of the touch sensor 5b is sent as a signal to the control unit 10a of the medal supply management device 10 via the medal supply control relay unit 12 provided above the game machine. Upon receiving this information, the control unit 10a operates the conveyor of the medal supply line 8 and further operates the motor 9a of the take-in device 9 above the game machine 5 so that the arm 9b blocks the medal supply line 8 diagonally. In this way, the medal is guided to the game machine. At this time, at least the arm 9b of the take-in device 9 between the take-in device 9 above the game machine that replenishes the medal and the medal supply management device 10 is kept closed. In this state, the medal is sent from the medal supply management device 10 to the medal supply line 8. The medal moves on the medal supply line 8, hits the arm 9b of the take-in device 9, moves to the game machine 5 side, passes through the bellows 9c, and moves from the back of the game machine into the medal hopper 5a. When the medal of the medal hopper 5a is supplied in this way, the medal comes into contact with the touch sensor 5b and the touch sensor 5b is turned on. The fact that the touch sensor 5b is turned on is sent as a signal to the control unit 10a via the medal supply control relay unit 12. Upon receipt of this information, the control unit 10a waits for a predetermined margin, and then stops sending medals to the medal supply line 8, and the arm of the take-in device 9 above the game machine that has supplied the medals. The motor 9a is driven so that 9b is closed, and the conveyor of the medal supply line 8 is stopped. When the replenishment amount of medals to the medal hopper 5a is excessive, the medals are discharged downward from the portion partitioned to the side of the medal hopper 5a and pass through the medal discharge path 5f on the conveyor of the medal recovery line 11. To the medal supply management device 10 by the conveyor.
[0010]
  In the gaming facility of the first embodiment, the fraud detection circuit 2 performs the processing shown in FIG. 4 to detect fraud.
  As shown in FIG. 4, first, when the motor 9a for operating the arm 9b of the take-in device 9 is activated, the sensor 3 senses it and detects the ON signal by the fraud detection circuit 2, and determines that the replenishment of medals has started. To do. When the replenishment of medals has started, the fraud detection circuit 2 detects whether or not the game machine 5 is hit by detecting the hit signal of the game machine 5.
  In the first embodiment, the method of detecting fraud is different depending on whether the game machine is hit or not.
  First, when the game machine is not hitting, the processing on the left side of the flowchart of FIG. 4 is performed. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, first, the process waits until the first medal replenishment is completed, and when it is completed, the counting of the elapsed time t is started. Next, if the game machine is not in a winning state, a time when no replenishment of medals occurs is a predetermined time t._AAnd t_AAre compared with t counting.
  If normal, the predetermined time t_AMedal replenishment occurs duringWithoutPredetermined time t_A Has elapsed, the elapsed time t is reset because it is in a normal state.
  If t_A If the next medal supply starts, check whether the game machine is hit or not, and it is very likely that the medal was paid out from the game machine by an illegal operation, etc. Is output. In the case of winning, the process goes to the process on the right side of the flowchart of FIG.
  In the first embodiment, the fraud signal is sent from the fraud detection circuit 2 to the control unit 10 a of the medal supply management device 10. Upon receiving this signal, the control unit 10a prevents the medal from being sent to the game machine even when the medal is being replenished, and closes the arm 9b of the take-in device above the game machine 5. This state is continued until an attendant or the like performs an operation to cancel the control unit 10a. Accordingly, medals are replenished to other game machines, but medals are not replenished to game machines that detect fraud. Therefore, the maximum amount of medals that can be acquired by cheating is the maximum amount stored in the medal hopper 5a of the game machine at that time. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the damage on the side that operates the game machine when there is fraud.
  Further, the fraud signal is sent from the fraud detection circuit 2 to the hall computer 14 via the adapter 13. The fraud signal is sent from the hall computer 14 to the alarm device 15 and is known to the staff by light and sound. Therefore, the damage caused by fraud can be further reduced when the staff members respond promptly and appropriately. Furthermore, by sending the data to the hall computer 14, data such as the number of times of fraud detection and time can be processed for further prevention of fraud and appropriate processing.
  In a pachislot store that uses a pachislot machine as a game machine, after the store is closed, data is released from the hall computer, and the total number of medals paid out from the per-day information of the pachislot machine and the number of replenishments per day on the automatic supply line When the number of replenished sheets is larger than the total number of medals, a red mark display or a mark addition display is performed.
[0011]
  Next, when the game machine 5 is hitting, the processing on the right side of the flowchart of FIG. 4 is performed. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, first, the number of medals replenishment is counted to set N = 1, and then the medals are replenished. Next, further check whether the game machine is still hitting, if it is hit, wait until the next medal replenishment, if there is the next medal replenishment, count the number of medals replenishment N = 2. In this way, the number of medals replenishment is counted until the game is over. In the gaming facility of the first embodiment, the total amount of medals paid out from the game machine is about 350, and the replenishment amount of one medal from the medal supply line 8 to the medal hopper 5a is 200. It has become. Therefore, when medals are paid out in a concentrated manner after the game machine is in a winning state, the medals are replenished at most twice and the replenishment corresponding to the amount of medals to be paid out is performed.
  Therefore, at the time when the game is over or when the next medal replenishment starts, the replenishment count N is compared with the replenishment limit count M (2 times), and the replenishment count N is 3 or more. If this is the case, the possibility that the medal has been paid out by an unauthorized operation is very high, so that an unauthorized signal is output from the fraud detection circuit 2, and the stop of the replenishment of medals, an alarm, and data collection as in the case of not winning To reduce damage caused by fraud and to help prevent or respond to fraud.
  In the first embodiment, the operation of the motor 9a of the capturing device 9 for capturing medals from the medal supply line 8 is detected to detect the start / end of replenishment. Thus, by detecting in parts other than a game machine, it can make it difficult to receive the influence of the unauthorized operation to a game machine. Moreover, the installation cost for replacement of the game machine can be suppressed, and it can be used relatively easily for an existing game machine.
  As described above, in the first embodiment, it is possible to reliably detect fraud by performing different processes corresponding to the respective states depending on whether the game machine is hit or not.
  Further, either the fraud detection method in which the game machine shown in the first embodiment is hit or the fraud detection method in the case where the game machine is not hit may be used.
  Further, in the process when the game machine on the left side of the flowchart shown in FIG._AWhen the replenishment of medals begins again, it is checked again whether the game machine is hitting, but the predetermined time t_A Is set to a relatively short time when no medals are replenished, the predetermined time t_A It may be possible not to check whether or not the game machine is hit when the supply of medals starts again.
[0012]
  7 and 8 show other examples of the fraud detection method in the gaming facility of the first embodiment.
  In the figure, 16 is a medal counter.
  In another example, the replenishment amount of one medal is set to 100, and the replenishment of medals is performed up to 5 times when the game machine is in a winning state, as shown in FIG. 7B. It is judged that it is illegal when it becomes 6 times or more.
  A medal counter 16 is provided upstream of the bellows 9c, and the number of medals sent from the medal supply line 8 to the game machine 5 is counted. When the set 100 sheets are sent and counted by the medal counter 16, the conveyor of the medal supply line 8 is stopped and the arm 9b returns to a state where no medal is guided.
  Thus, the amount of replenishment for one medal may be set in any way depending on the situation.
[0013]
  Example 2 (see FIG. 9)
  Example 2 shown in FIG. 9 is an example of a fraud detection method in a gaming facility in which the predetermined time is changed depending on whether the game machine is in a winning state or not.
  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing processing of the fraud detection method in the gaming facility of the second embodiment.
  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, based on the medal replenishment interval determined by the medal supply line performance and the control method, the game machine with a short medal replenishment interval is in a given state and when it is not, a predetermined time t_A, T_BIs determined to be fraudulent if there is a next medal replenishment within a predetermined time according to the state of the game machine.
  In this way, fraud may be detected.
  Other symbols, configurations, operations, and usage are the same as those in the first embodiment.
[0014]
  Example 3 (Figure10reference)
  Example 3 shown in FIG. 10 is an example of a fraud detection method in a gaming facility in which it is determined that fraud has been detected if medals have been replenished for a predetermined time or longer.
  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing processing of the fraud detection method in the gaming facility of the third embodiment.
  In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, when the replenishment of medals is started, the replenishment time is counted even when the game machine is hit or not, and the replenishment continues even if the replenishment limit time is exceeded. Outputs a fraud signal. In this way, it may be possible to detect a case in which fraud is performed during replenishment and replenishment continues.
  Further, in the process when the game machine on the left side of the flowchart shown in FIG._A When the replenishment of medals begins again, it is checked again whether the game machine is hitting, but the predetermined time t_A Is set to a relatively short time when no medals are replenished, the predetermined time t_A It may be possible not to check whether or not the game machine is hit when the supply of medals starts again.
[0015]
