Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is designed to aggregate sales data from independent rental machines installed in a pachinko hall and inter-machine rental machines installed between each game machine. This invention relates to a centralized control device for pachinko halls.

[Conventional example] In general, in pachinko halls, it is necessary to know the sales amount for each island or for each model of pachinko game machine (in other words, it is necessary to know the sales amount for each island or for each model of pachinko game machine). It is said that knowing whether a pachinko machine has been used is useful for pachinko hall management. However, among the ball lending machines in a pachinko hall, it is not easy to know which island (or which model of pachinko game machine) the pachinko balls lent out by the inter-machine ball lending machines installed between each pachinko game machine were used. However, for pachinko balls lent by independent ball rental machines installed at the edge of the island, near the prize exchange counter, etc., it is impossible to determine which island (or which model of pachinko game machine) the pachinko balls were used on. Therefore, in reality, it has been difficult to know the sales amount for each island or for each model of pachinko game machine.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to improve the performance of each island or game machine model even when both independent lending machines and inter-machine lending machines are provided. To provide a centralized management device for pachinko halls that can relatively accurately know the sales amount corresponding to each specific group.

[Summary of the Invention] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention calculates sales data of independent ball rental machines using constants preset based on statistical data for specific groups such as each island or each game machine model. In addition, the sales amount for each specific group is calculated by calculating the sales amount for each specific group by carrying out the proportional allocation result into the sales data of the inter-machine ball lending machines for each specific group.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In Fig. 2, which schematically shows the layout inside a pachinko hall, A, B, C, ... are islands each made up of a plurality of pachinko game machines 1, and at both ends there are independent lending machines. Independent ball lending machines 2, 2 are installed, and an inter-machine ball lending machine 3, which is one inter-machine lending machine for every two pachinko game machines, is installed between each pachinko game machine. Also,
4 is an independent ball lending machine that is an independent ball lending machine installed elsewhere in the pachinko hall. In this case, each of the ball lending machines 2, 3, and 4 releases a predetermined amount of pachinko balls each time a 100 yen coin is inserted, and
The configuration is such that it outputs a count pulse _P0 , which is sales data, and therefore this count pulse
By counting P ₀ , each ball lending machine 2, 3, 4
You can know the sales amount.

Now, FIG. 1 shows only the part related to the gist of the present invention out of the electrical configuration of the central control device for pachinko halls, and this will be explained below. That is, 5a, 5b, 5c, ... are the islands A,
Accumulator circuits are provided corresponding to B, C,...
These are calculated by accumulating the count pulses P ₀ from the three groups of inter-machine ball lending machines corresponding to each group, and calculating the cumulative result as the total sales of the inter-machine ball lending machines 3 belonging to each island A, B, C,... Output as numerical signals Sa, Sb, Sc, etc. indicating high. 6 is an accumulation circuit that accumulates the count pulses P ₀ from the groups of independent ball lending machines 2 and 4, and outputs the accumulation result as a numerical signal Sz indicating the total sales of the independent ball lending machines 2 and 4. . 7a, 7b, 7c are constant storage units provided corresponding to each island A, B, C, . . .
Numerical values Na, Nb, Nc, etc., which are statistically set in advance according to the size of the players, are stored respectively.
8a, 8b, 8c, . . . are the accumulation circuits 5, respectively.
a, 5b, 5c, and these are the constant storage units 7a, 7b, 7c,
Each output of ... and the numerical signal from the accumulator circuit 6
Sz is received as an input, and the sales data of the independent ball lending machines 2 and 4 indicated by the numerical signal Sz is input to the numerical value Na,
Nb, Nc, ... (In this case, each island A, B, C, ...
...corresponding to the size data of each player), and a numerical signal Xa indicating the proportional allocation result,
Output Xb, Xc, ... Specifically, the arithmetic circuit 8a calculates Xa=Sz×Na/(Na+Nb+Nc+...
...), and the calculation circuit 8b calculates Xb=Sz×Nb/
It calculates (Na+Nb+Nc+...),
The following calculation circuits 8c, . . . perform similar calculations. 9a, 9b, 9c, ... are accumulation circuits 5
a, 5b, 5c and arithmetic circuits 8a, 8b, 8c,
These adder circuits are provided corresponding to the input numerical signals Sa, Sb, Sc, ... and Xa,
Corresponding values among Xb, ,...
Output as . The sales amount signals S'a, S'b, S'c, . The contents stored in the memory circuit 10 are configured so that they can be printed by a printer 11 if necessary.

By the way, the pachinko balls lent by the independent ball lending machines 2 and 4 are used on any of the islands A, B, C, etc.;
From a statistical perspective, the ratios used in B, C, . . . are considered to be approximately proportional to the number of players on the island. Therefore, as in this embodiment, the sales of the independent ball rental machine groups 2 and 4 are calculated based on a numerical value Na statistically set in advance according to the size of the players on each island A, B, C, etc. , Nb, Nc, ... and the proportional allocation results are transferred to the sales of each island A, B, C, ..., the sales of pachinko game machines for each island are It is possible to approximately know the height.

In the above embodiment, the sales amount for each island A, B, C, etc. is calculated, but it is also possible to calculate the sales amount for each pachinko game machine model or any other group in the same way. It is also possible to do this. Further, in the above embodiment, the pachinko game machine and the ball lending machine were described as being managed, but the management target is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that the structure may also include a coin game machine and a coin lending machine. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, constant storage units 7a, 7b, 7c, . . .
The constants stored in may be set based on other factors (for example, the sales amount for each island that has been manually surveyed in advance).

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, as is clear from the above explanation, sales data from the independent rental machines installed in the pachinko hall and the inter-machine rental machines installed between each game machine can be aggregated. This centralized control device for pachinko halls has the novel effect of being able to relatively accurately determine sales for specific groups such as each island or each game machine model. It is something.
