An example of the pachinko machine of the present invention is constructed as described above, and an operation example thereof will be described below.

A person who intends to play a pachinko game pays the price of the number of balls used for the game, and the store shows the numerical value indicating the number of balls and the personal identification number. It is set in the input unit 15 of the data processing unit GD. The setting data of the input unit 15 is stored in the storage unit 16 and is printed on the card C by the printer 17, and the card is handed to the person who executes the game. The person performing the game selects the desired pachinko machine M with this card C, and selects the number of balls printed on the input section 13 and the unique data. To set. This setting is supplied as the initial data ID to the discriminating unit 18 together with the code signal attached to the selected pachinko machine.

The discrimination unit 18 compares the initial data ID in the input unit 13 with the stored data MD in the storage unit 16 together with the code of the pachinko machine, and when both match, the code of the pachinko machine is displayed. The data MD of the storage unit 16 is supplied to the arithmetic processing unit 19 by using the read signal as an address signal, and the signal MS is supplied to the control unit 18a of each shutter and the counters 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 11a, 11b, 12a. Supply them and make each of these shutters and counters ready for operation.

In this state, the person who plays the game sets the number of balls used for the game in the input section 13 of the pachinko machine within the range of the initial data. The setting signal gB1 for the number of game balls is supplied to the arithmetic processing section 19. Upon receiving this signal gB1, the arithmetic processing section 19 subtracts the number of game balls from the number of balls of the initial data MD to calculate the current value and at the same time gives the shutter 6a an open signal. The open state of the shutter 6a is maintained until the count signal from the counter 6b coincides with the ball number signal gB1 in the arithmetic processing section 19, and at the same time, the shutter 6a is closed. By opening and closing the shutter, the game ball flows through the downflow duct 6 and is set in the upper tray 8. Therefore, the person performing the game operates the launcher 2 as usual and operates the pachinko game. -Move.

Each ball fired on the board enters the prize hole 3 or the out hole 4, and these balls are all collected in the content tray 10 and are returned to the hopper 5 by the conveyor 12 while being counted by the count 12a. ..

As a result, the arithmetic processing unit 19 causes the display unit 14 to display the number of balls used for the game and the number of game balls remaining in the upper tray. Not only visual display but also sound display is used.

When a ball enters the winning hole 3, this is individually detected by the prize detector 3a and counted as the number of winnings. On the other hand, the signal from the detector 3a opens the shutter 7a of the downflow duct 7 to lower the prize ball. It is delivered to the saucer.

The number of payouts is counted by the counter 7b and supplied to the arithmetic processing unit 19. In the arithmetic processing section 19, the data of the number of winning balls is added to the current value of the initial data, or a data in which only the number of winning balls is accumulated is formed. These data are also displayed on the display unit 14 one by one.

In this way, the pachinko game progresses, but the progress of the game is possible until the number of spheres of the initial data ID reaches zero, and ends when it reaches zero.

Further, even if the number of game balls gB1 becomes zero, if the balls remain in the initial data, the setting of the additional game balls gB2 can be set in the input unit 13. it can. This additional game ball gB2 can be set any number of times until the initial data ID becomes zero. The additional game in this case proceeds in the same manner as in the previous embodiment.

On the other hand, even when the initial data ID becomes zero, if the winning ball is present in the lower tray 9, this winning ball can be used as a game ball.

In this case, the setting of the additional game ball gB3 can be arbitrarily set within the cumulative value of the number of winning balls accumulated in the lower tray 9.

When the setting of the additional game sphere gB3 is performed within the above conditions, the winning sphere corresponding to the set value is conveyed to the hopper 5 by the conveyor 11 with the shutter 11a opened, and from the hopper 5 The shutter 6a of the downflow duct 6 is opened by the corresponding numerical value, and the additional game balls are supplied to the upper upper plate 8 to enable additional games. In this additional game, the data gB3 of the additional game sphere is used instead of the initial data ID. The progress of this additional game proceeds in the same manner as the previous game.

After the game is performed as described above, if the initial data ID and the winning balls are exhausted, the game on this pachinko machine is completed.

On the other hand, when there is initial data ID and / or winning ball data, and when the player wants to end the game, the end key E is entered in the input section 13 of the pachinko machine M. When pressed, a signal to that effect enters the arithmetic processing unit 19, and the arithmetic unit 19 sums up the initial values and the present values of the winning ball data, and drives the printer 17 with this summed data AD. The information is displayed on the display unit 14 as well as being hit on the card C. At this time, the personalized data such as the personal identification number of the initial data ID is also directly output to the card.

The person who has received the card C after performing the above-mentioned game moves to another pachinko machine and performs the game again, or the total data AD is appreciably divided. Exchange for a free gift.

The above-described embodiment of the pachinko machine describes the combination of one pachinko machine M and one game data processing unit GD, and the device of the present invention is shown in FIG. As shown in the drawings, if a plurality of pachinko machines M are connected to a game data processing unit GD having a storage unit having a capacity corresponding to this, a game data processing unit GD with a data bus DB, the pachinko balls themselves. It will be possible to set up a pachinko game space that does not require any pachinko ball processing facilities for collecting, transporting, and allocating.
