FIG. 5 is a block diagram of one embodiment of the present invention. The configuration and simple operation will be explained. The plurality of pachinko gaming machines 1 are each provided with a hit ball detector MC and a safe ball detector S. Here, a hit ball is a ball that a player hits a borrowed pachinko ball into the pachinko game machine 1 for playing, and in other words, a profit related to the number of balls that is profitable for the game parlor. It can be said to be ball-related information. In addition, a safe ball is a pachinko ball that has entered a safe hole, etc.
Based on this, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the player, so in other words, this can be said to be disadvantageous ball related information related to the number of balls that is disadvantageous to the gaming parlor. Note that it may be possible to detect an out ball instead of detecting a hit ball, or to detect a prize ball or a supply ball instead of a safe ball, or to detect a payout command signal for a prize ball or a replenishment command signal for a supply ball. It may also be detected. In any case, it is only necessary to detect profitable ball related information related to the number of balls that is profitable for the gaming parlor and unprofitable ball related information related to the number of balls that is disadvantageous to the gaming parlor. The batted ball detector MC
The out ball detector constitutes a profit ball related information detecting means that detects profit ball related information related to the number of balls that are profitable for the gaming hall. In addition, the safe ball detector S, the prize ball detector, the supply ball detector, the prize ball payout command signal, and the supply ball command signal detector detects disadvantageous balls related to the number of balls that are disadvantageous to the gaming hall. A disadvantageous related information detection means for detecting related information is configured. The output pulse a of the hit ball detector MC and the output pulse b of the safe ball detector S are applied to a counter CT. The counter CT counts the hit balls and safe balls for each pachinko game machine 1, and provides the counting output to the memory M1. The memory M1 stores the number of batted balls and the number of safe balls for each pachinko game machine 1, and also stores the difference between the number of safe balls and the number of batted balls calculated by the calculation unit AU. Note that for the number of batted balls, the number of safe pitches, and the subtraction argument, if any two of them are known, the remaining one can be found by calculation, so the memory M1 is
At least two of the number of batted pitches, the number of safe pitches, and the subtraction value may be stored. Furthermore, preferably, the memory M1 is stored for a certain period (for example, one day) for each pachinko game machine 1.
The total number of batted balls and the number of safe pitches is stored, and the number of batted balls and the number of safe pitches for each customer is stored each time the customer changes. In this memory M1,
A plurality of storage areas are formed for each machine number of the pachinko game machine to store at least any two of information related to the number of profitable balls, information related to the number of disadvantageous balls, and information related to their difference. Information regarding the difference of each pachinko game machine 1 stored in this memory M1 (for example, the difference between the number of profitable balls and the number of unprofitable balls, or the difference between the number of profitable balls and the number of unprofitable balls converted into a monetary amount), i.e. The difference argument related information is given to the termination control unit HC. This stop control unit HC gives a stop signal c to the pachinko game machine 1 when the difference related information of each pachinko game machine 1 stored in the memory M1 reaches a predetermined stop setting number. Controls the stop and displays the stop.

Each of the plurality of ball rental machines PL1 to PLn is provided with means (ball rental amount information generating means) for detecting and outputting the number of balls rented (ball rental amount information). The ball lending number detection output of each ball lending machine is temporarily stored in the memory M2. When ball rental data is commanded to be derived by operating the operation panel OP2, the ball rental number information stored in the memory M2 is read out and given to the arithmetic unit AU for calculation processing. For example, when a customer inserts a coin into a certain ball rental machine PLn and borrows a predetermined number of pachinko balls to play, the ball rental detector generates one pulse in response to each coin insertion. If so, the number of pulses equal to the number of coin insertions is stored in the memory M2. This number of pulses is the calculation unit AU
is given, the calculation unit AU calculates the total number of balls rented by the ball lending machine by multiplying the number of pachinko balls released in response to one coin insertion by the number of pulses. In this way, for example, when information on the total number of balls rented from a certain ball rental machine in a day is given to the central processing/control unit CAC, the central processing/control unit CAC transmits the total information to the output control unit CC and the output adapter. It is applied to the J printer JRP via OA for printing and recording, it is applied to the display device DIS for display, and it is further applied to the magnetic disk MD2 for magnetic recording.

Each output of the operation panels OP1 to OP3 is given to the central processing and control unit CAC as operation command information. In addition, the magnetic disk MD1 reads a magnetic sheet on which program setting information is recorded in advance,
Give that information to the central processing and control unit CAC,
Execute the desired program arithmetic operation. The calculation output of this central processing/control unit CAC is output from the output control unit.
Record or display in CC specified, output adapter OA
is applied to the journal line printer JRP, printer PR, display device DIS, or magnetic disk MD2 via. The calculation unit AU and the central calculation/control unit CAC count information related to the number of profitable pitches and information related to the number of disadvantageous pitches according to the output of the profitable pitch related information detection means and the output of the disadvantageous pitch related information detection means. At the same time, a calculation means for calculating difference argument related information related to a difference argument, which is the difference between the number of profitable balls and the number of disadvantageous balls, is also configured. Note that the portion of these calculation processes indicated by the two-dot chain line may be performed by the computer CPU.

FIG. 6 shows the magnetic disks MD1 and MD2.
FIG. 2 is an illustrative diagram of a magnetic sheet used in a magnetic sheet, particularly showing the case where inventory management information is recorded. FIG. 7a shows an example of the case where a profit statistical table for each pachinko game machine is created with the printer PR, and FIG. 7b shows an example of the case where a sales/prize exchange statistical table is created with the printer PR.

Next, specific operations for creating a slip (system statistical table) will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7. For example, if you want to create a revenue statistical table for each pachinko machine over a certain period (for example, one month), press the numeric key NK included in the operation panel OP1, for example from 1 to 500.
Specify all machines up to number, and all machines total key TK4
Press. Accordingly, the difference argument for each pachinko game machine stored in the memory M1 is read out by the central processing/control unit CAC. This subtraction argument (that is, subtraction argument related information) is applied to the magnetic disk MD2 via the output control unit CC and the output adapter OA, and is magnetically recorded on the magnetic sheet. In this way, the information related to the difference for each pachinko game machine for one month is recorded on the magnetic sheet. next,
The magnetic sheet is read out using a reading magnetic disk. The information related to the difference for each pachinko machine for the past month is sent to the printer via the central processing/control unit CAC, output control unit CC, and output adapter OA.
The information is given to the PR and recorded as a profit statistics table as shown in Figure 7a.

In addition, when creating a sales/prize exchange statistical table for each ball rental machine PL1 to PLn, specify all of the ball rental machines PL1 to PLn using the numerical keys NK included in the operation panel OP2, and store them in the memory M2. Read out the ball rental of each ball rental machine. This read information is once magnetically recorded on a magnetic sheet by the magnetic disk MD2. In this way, after recording the number of balls rented from each ball rental machine for one month on the magnetic sheet, the recorded information on the magnetic sheet is read out with the magnetic disk MD1, and the read information is sent to the printer PR as shown in FIG. Print and record the sales/prize exchange statistical table as shown in b. The memory M2 stores information on the total ball rental amount for the entire gaming hall on a daily basis, and information on the total premium exchange amount on a daily basis for all the prizes exchanged during the business hours of the entire gaming hall on a daily basis. An information recording means is configured to record information necessary for printing as long-term storage information. Note that this information may be recorded on an external recording medium such as a magnetic sheet.

In addition, when creating a daily product inventory report, enter product inventory information by operating the alpha keys AK and numeric keys TK included in the operation panel OP3, and record the information in a predetermined area of the magnetic sheet using the magnetic disk MD2. let After sequentially inputting product inventory information, the information recorded on the magnetic sheet is read out onto the magnetic disk MD1. This read information is printed and recorded by printer PR.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the management of the operating status of the pachinko machine, the stop control status, the management of sales and profit margins based on the number of balls rented and the number of balls exchanged for prizes, and product inventory management are concentrated. can be managed effectively. In addition, since related information is collectively managed and processed, it is processed extremely quickly, the operation is simple, and the cost required for management is low. Further, each piece of information can be temporarily recorded on a magnetic sheet, and the information on the magnetic sheet can be read out and recorded in print to create a slip, etc., thereby saving labor in administrative processing.

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention having the above configuration can clear the information related to the number of profitable pitches, the information related to the number of disadvantageous pitches, and the information related to the difference that have gone out of order from the storage area, so that the abnormal information can be removed. Accurate game hall management can be performed using only normal information. In addition, among the information to be cleared, at least the data related to the number of profitable pitches and the information related to the number of disadvantageous pitches are printed and recorded, so only one of the information related to the number of profitable pitches or the information related to the number of disadvantageous pitches is used. When the value is abnormal, information on other normal values can be used to calculate the profit margin and sales of the gaming hall.
