Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention provides an electric function that maintains a state in which the winning rate is increased when a specific state is exhibited in response to the hitting of pachinko balls until a predetermined condition is met. The present invention relates to a central control device for pachinko halls that centrally manages pachinko game machines equipped with objects based on data from the pachinko game machines.

[Prior Art] In recent pachinko game machines, the system is activated when a specific state occurs (for example, when a particular winning hole is entered) according to the hitting of a pachinko ball, greatly increasing the winning rate. The mainstream is to have an electric accessory that exhibits a certain state, and such an electric accessory is activated when a predetermined condition is met (for example, when winnings for the electric accessory stops, or when a certain amount of money is returned) (e.g., when a period of time has elapsed), the operation is stopped and returns to the original state. By the way, when adjusting the nails of such pachinko game machines, it is important to know how much pachinko is emitted during the operating period of the electric accessory in order to precisely adjust the nails. In the past, the data for adjusting the nails was simply the difference in the number of balls for each pachinko game machine, the ball output rate, etc., which were obtained as the final tally results for the day after the pachinko hall closed. For this reason, the actual situation is that it is not possible to precisely adjust the nails of a pachinko game machine equipped with the above-mentioned electric accessories.

[Purpose of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to maintain a state in which the winning rate is increased when a specific state occurs in response to a pachinko machine hit until a predetermined condition is met. For use in pachinko halls, it is possible to reliably obtain data for more precisely adjusting the nails of a pachinko game machine, even though the pachinko game machine equipped with an electric accessory to be held is the object of management. To provide a centralized management device.

[Summary of the Invention] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a signal generating means that generates a detection signal throughout a period in which the winning rate is increased by an electric accessory, and also provides a pachinko game machine during the output period of the detection signal. This configuration includes a calculation means for calculating the difference between the number of out balls and the number of safe balls.

A prize is won in any of the winning holes 6b, 6c, and 6d in between. At this time, each time a prize is won in the central prize hole 6C among the prize holes 6b, 6c, and 6d, the expansion operation of the arm 6a is repeated a plurality of times, and thus the prize holes 6b, 6c.

The winning rate for 6d will be significantly higher. In short, the electric accessory 6 is operated when a pachinko machine wins a prize in the winning holes 7, 8, 9, and 6c, and exhibits a state in which the winning rate is increased. This will be held until the condition that the winnings cease to be met. Further, 10 is a signal generating means provided on the back side of the pachinko game machine 1, which generates a detection signal consisting of a high level signal during a period when the electric accessory 6 is in operation (a period in which the winning rate is increased).
