Further, when canceling the stopped state, the address (X, Y) of the memory 91 in which the number of the stop generation table is stored and the cancel command are set in the register 22. The stopping platform display control device 9 shows an example in which up to eight units can be controlled, and the memory 91 stores the stopping generating platform number set in the register 21 according to the designated address (X, Y). It is stored by the trigger T. As for the forced stop table, a forced stop flag is set in the register 21, and when this forced stop flag is set,
The memory 91 also stores the forced stop flag at the same time. When the cancel command and the address (X, Y) are set in the register 22, the memory 91 of the address (X, Y) is set.
The content of is cleared. The decoding circuit 92 decodes the stopping generation table number into a display format signal, and
The blinking circuit 93 is used to discriminate whether or not forced stop.
The stop generation table number is displayed on the stop display panel 10 by the display format signal output from the decoding circuit 92 through the inversion circuit 94. The blinking circuit 93 operates for the set time (20 seconds) of the timer 95 which is started at the same time when the stopping occurrence number is stored in the memory 91 by the trigger, and the inverting circuit 94 is forced stopping by the decoding circuit 92. It works when it is discriminated from. The example of the stopping table display board 10 shown in FIG. 5 is capable of simultaneously displaying eight stopping generation table numbers, but as described above, one stopping generation table is displayed. When using a batting board display panel that can display only numbers, for example, a shift register is prepared and the outputs of the decoding circuits are sequentially sent to the batting board display board one by one at regular intervals. You may.

〔The invention's effect〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, it is possible to inform the island staff by the in-store broadcast that the stopped state has occurred, and to identify the pachinko machine that has been stopped on the display means installed in the store. Since the information is displayed, the clerk around the island can confirm the machine number or the like of the pachinko machine that has been stopped by looking at the display means and perform the stop processing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the stop table from being unprocessed due to oversight, misunderstanding, or forgetting of the stop generation table number due to noise in the store.

Next, the effect obtained by displaying on the display means the table number indicating the stopped pachinko machine so that it can be discriminated whether it is a normal stop or a forced stop will be described. A normal stop is a method of calculating the size relationship between the number of stops set for each pachinko machine and the number of balls released to the customer, and managing by the stop control unit of the pachinko machine management device. Do not manually intervene. On the other hand, the forced stop is a method in which an island clerk forcibly stops the game while looking at the state of the pachinko machine and the balls owned by the customer. In the present invention, it is possible to inform which pachinko machine is forcibly stopped by the display means, which is effective for post-processing such as dealing with and canceling a player. For example, if a pachinko machine with a lot of hits is forcibly stopped by a clerk on an island, if another clerk on the other island releases the pachinko stand forcibly immediately, it will be forced to stop. There is no meaning in doing it. In the present invention, since the table number indicating the stopped pachinko machine is displayed on the display means so that it can be discriminated whether it is a normal stop or a forced stop, the above-described situation is prevented. You can do it.
