[0002]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Various winning holes are provided on the surface of the pachinko machine, and the winning probability for these winning holes is generally constituted by two obstacle nails provided above the winning hole. This greatly depends on the adjustment state of the so-called life nail. For this reason, conventionally, an operator selected from pachinko hall employees routinely adjusts a life nail using a gauge bar and a hammer with a gauge ball attached to the tip. Since the difficulty level of such nail adjustment work varies greatly depending on the location to be adjusted, it is necessary to have an operator of a technical level corresponding to the difficulty. In order to select the workers in charge, it is necessary to grasp the skill level of each worker. Conventionally, the selection is based on the length of experience of the nail adjustment work. However, since special skills are required for nail adjustment work and individual differences are large, it is impossible to judge the skill level for nail adjustment work only by the length of experience. For this reason, conventionally, there has been a problem that it is difficult to properly select the nail adjustment workers (assignment of personnel), which has been an obstacle to the effective use of pachinko hall human assets. .
[0003]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to accurately grasp the skill level of the nail adjustment operator, and to select the nail adjustment operator's degree of difficulty in the nail adjustment operation. It is to provide a management system for pachinko halls that can be appropriately performed while considering the above.

When a measurement value is input from the measuring device 9, the adjustment target value indicated by the adjustment target value data in the nail adjustment instruction data (this is indicated as the current instruction value e on the nail adjustment instruction screen). ) And the input measurement value are compared (step S11).
[0025]
After this, based on the comparison result in step S11, it is determined whether or not the adjustment target value and the measured value are in a predetermined relationship, for example, whether or not the error between the two is within a preset allowable range. (Step S12). When the error is out of the allowable range, after executing step S13 for displaying the readjustment instruction screen as shown in FIG. 10B on the liquid crystal display unit 12, the process returns to step S10. In FIG. 10 (b), the above readjustment instruction screen displays a message “a 'that does not match the indicated value. Please adjust again”, the time display part b, the difficulty level c, and the adjustment location. d, the current instruction value e is displayed, and the current measurement value f ′ by the measuring device 9 is displayed.
[0026]
On the other hand, when the error between the adjustment target value and the measured value is within the allowable range, the timer operation is terminated (step S14), and the liquid crystal display unit 12 is shown in FIG. 10 (c). Such a nail adjustment completion screen is displayed (step S15). In FIG. 10C, a message “a” indicating “Thank you for your nail adjustment” is displayed on the nail adjustment completion screen, and the time display part b, difficulty level c, adjustment point d, and current instruction are displayed. The value e and the current measured value f ′ are displayed.
[0027]
Thereafter, step S16 for outputting work data to the management device 8 and step S17 for turning off the notification lamp 10 are sequentially executed, and the process returns. The operation data includes the ID number of the pachinko machine 1 that has performed the nail adjustment, the employee ID of the nail adjustment operator, and the nail interval data measured by the measuring device 9 (the current measured value in the nail adjustment completion screen). value displayed as f ′) and work time (value displayed in the time display part b in the nail adjustment completion screen).
[0028]
In short, in the above-described embodiment, at the time of nail adjustment work of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the adjustment target value for the nail interval between any two obstacle nails in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is indicated on the liquid crystal display unit 12 this time. Therefore, the nail adjustment operator refers to the current instruction value and performs the nail adjustment work. Thus, since the adjustment target value at the time of the nail adjustment work is displayed as the current instruction value on the liquid crystal display unit 12 installed for each pachinko gaming machine 1, the nail adjustment operator side is specific to each pachinko gaming machine 1. Can be recognized without fail, which is extremely useful in actually performing the nail adjustment work. In this case, the liquid crystal display unit 12 displays the result of the previous nail adjustment work (final measurement value by the measuring device 9) as the previous measurement value. On the contrary, it is possible to accurately recognize whether the adjustment is performed, which is extremely useful in actually performing the nail adjustment work.
[0029]
Further, prior to starting the nail adjustment work, the operator needs to insert the employee ID card 9a into the card insertion slot 14 of the display unit 7 for each table. Based on the ID, the worker who performed the nail adjustment work as described above is specified. Then, in the management device 8, form data (FIG. 5) in which the adjustment target value (current instruction value) described above, the final measurement value by the measurement device 9, and the employee ID (ID information) of the nail adjustment operator are associated with each other. , See FIG. 6). Therefore, based on the form data stored in this manner, the result of the nail adjustment actually performed, in particular, the adjustment target value and the final result of the nail adjustment performed by referring to this are determined by the measuring device 9. It is possible to easily and accurately recognize a difference from a measured value. As a result, the skill level of the nail adjustment operator can be accurately grasped based on the result of the actual nail adjustment. As a result, it becomes possible to appropriately select the nail adjustment workers while considering the difficulty of the nail adjustment work, which is beneficial in effectively utilizing the human resources of the pachinko hall.
