JPH01178278A - Release treatment for suspension of pachinko machine - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To release a suspension state of a 'pachinko' (pin-ball) machine automatically and rapidly, by manually sending a selective signal from the pachinko machine at each pachinko machine, and generating a signal for releasing suitably from a suspended pachinko machine. CONSTITUTION:A pachinko machine in a paused state by suspension treatment is put into operation by the following procedure: a releasing instruction signal is generated by selectively switching on releasing instruction switches 8a, 8b,...8n attached to or existing near the pachinko machine; a state detecting device 2 detects the signal, and inputs whether or not the suspension is released to a central controller 1; and the pachinko machine is put into a release state from a suspension state by the instruction of the central controller 1. The central controller 1 sends a signal to an automatic broadcasting equipment 7, simultaneously with the release state treatment, which automatically announces the corresponding pachinko machine and the frequency of the release.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention is directed to a game hall in which a large number of pachinko machines are installed, in which the operating status of each pachinko machine is centrally managed by a computer or the like. This relates to a release method that uses a J3 system in which stopping and releasing is managed, and selectively gives a release signal from the pachinko machine to each pachinko machine to automatically release the stopping. It is.

[Prior Art] Generally, in this type of game hall, the stopping and releasing of the pachinko machine is managed and controlled by a computer, that is, a central control unit, and in particular, in the release process, the operator is controlled by the central control unit. The system uses key operations for each compatible pachinko machine.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the system of the prior art, in order to release a pachinko machine that has been stopped, an employee who is patrolling the hall must have the operator of the central control unit release the pachinko machine. After communicating the number 0 and confirming it, the operator presses a specified key to release the number 0, so if there are a large number of pachinko machines, it not only takes a very long time to release the machine, but also This method has various problems, such as having to operate the keys, resulting in poor workability and the possibility of operational errors.

[Means for solving the problem] As a specific means for solving the navigation problem, the present invention provides the following:
In a control system in which the operating status of a large number of pachinko machines is controlled by a central controller via a status detection unit, a signal is selectively given manually from the pachinko machine side to each pachinko machine to stop the game. (b) To provide a method for releasing a pachinko machine from stopping, which is characterized by releasing a pachinko machine, by preventing the pachinko machine from generating an appropriate release signal from the side of the pachinko machine that has been stopped.
The stop is automatically and quickly released.

Embodiment Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. Reference numeral 1 denotes a central control device 1 such as a computer, and a state detection device 2 is connected to the central control device 1. The state detection device 2 detects the operating state of each of the many pachinko machines 3a, 3b, . Therefore, between each pachinko machine and the state detection device 2, wires 4a, 4b, . Jackpot signal switches 5a and 5 for each machine
b...5n are each tiered. Note that 6 is a common line and 7 is an automatic broadcast processing device, and these constitute a control system in the play hall.

In such a control system, the existing wiring, ie, the wiring 4a for the jackpot or cancellation signal.

4b...4n, switches 8a, 8b...8n for instructing stop and release are provided for each pachinko machine or in the vicinity of each corresponding pachinko machine, respectively. The switch is a normally open switch and is manually turned on to generate a signal for release.

In this case, the release instruction switches 8a, 8b...
...8n may be a button type, but
To prevent unauthorized operation, use a switch with a key.
It is better to allow only specific employees to operate the keys.

Furthermore, the release instruction switches 8a, 8b...
・As shown in FIG. 2, 8n may be connected to, for example, a predetermined resistor 9 to have a voltage change with respect to the termination signal, so that the status detection device 2 can accurately determine the termination signal. .

[Description of operation] In the control system having the above configuration, the ball entry and ratio are managed for each pachinko machine, and when a jackpot is achieved for each pachinko machine, the player switch 5 is activated.
a, 5b...5n are turned on, the state of the hit is detected by the state detection device 2, the state is input to the central control device 1, and at the same time, the predetermined number of balls are ejected, and at the same time, the ball is stopped. and put the corresponding pachinko machine into hibernation mode. Therefore, the jackpot switch of the pachinko machine that is in a dormant state is turned off.

Such control and management is commonly practiced in game halls.

Therefore, in order to bring a pachinko machine that is in a dormant state into an operating state, the release instruction switches 8a, 8b attached to or near the pachinko machine... By selectively turning on 8n, a release instruction signal is generated, which is detected by the state detection device 2, and input to the central control device 1 as to whether or not the stopper should be released. Then, according to the instructions from the central control device 1, the state changes from the stopped state to the released state.

At the same time as this process of setting the release state, a signal is given from the central control device 1 to the automatic broadcast processing device 7 to make an announcement that the corresponding pachinko machine will be released again. The amount and number of releases will be automatically broadcast.

[Effect of the Invention 1 As explained above, the pachinko machine stop release processing method according to the present invention is a control system in which the operating state of a large number of pachinko machines is controlled by a central controller via a state detection unit. In this system, a signal is manually and selectively applied from the pachinko machine side to each pachinko machine to release the stoppage, so the central control This eliminates the problem of poor work efficiency in which the machine operator has to perform the release process each time by pressing a key, and not only does it eliminate operational errors, but also allows quick release even in large halls where many pachinko machines are installed. It has an excellent effect in that it can be processed.

Also, since unused wiring is used during termination, signals can be sent smoothly without being mixed with other signals, which is significantly more economically advantageous than using dedicated wiring. It has the excellent effect of being

Furthermore, by using a key switch, the stop release signal can be prevented from being operated by a third party without permission, and has the excellent effect of avoiding L operation errors and troubles caused by the lock. .

In addition, the manual signal can be read by distinguishing it from other signals by creating a voltage change in the wiring, for example by avoiding intervening a resistor, and by using other existing wiring. It also has the excellent effect of being able to accurately transmit a termination release signal without causing signal congestion.

Furthermore, the automatic broadcast processing device is activated at the same time as the suspension release process, and an excellent effect is achieved in that the release announcement can be made at the same time.
