Therefore, it is possible to see at a glance how each island has stopped.

Further, when it is desired to search for specific table data from this island map display, the cursor is moved to the left, right, up and down with respect to the screen 53 by operating the plus key 41, the minus key 42, the right arrow key 43 and the left arrow key 44 of the keyboard 20. When the set key 50 is operated after moving to the unit number, the computer 62 stores the command contents at the time of operating this island map display key, and temporarily erases the island map display from the screen 53, as shown in FIG. The table data shown is displayed. Then, when the screen key 25 is operated thereafter, the computer 62 can return to the original island map display again based on the stored command contents at the time of operating the island map display key.

Further, the computer 62 can also retrieve and display various data other than the base data from the island map display by the same cursor movement and key operation and return to the original island map display again. Therefore, it is possible to grasp the stopping situation of the whole platform by island map display, and further search for individual data of each platform necessary at any time, and it is possible to display it immediately or in the original island map display, so the search is efficient. Can be done on a regular basis.

When the graph display key is operated, the computer 62 causes the storage device 65 to store the unit number storage area 66 and the number of inserted balls storage area 6
9. Data is retrieved from the payout number storage area 70, and the graph 53 shown in FIG. 16 is displayed on the screen 53 of the CRT 21 based on the data. That is, the computer 62 recognizes the unit number from the unit number storage area 66, calculates the difference between the number of input balls and the number of output balls called from the number-of-inserted-balls storage area 69 and the number-of-outputted-balls storage area 70, and displays the number by a bar graph. It is supposed to be displayed. In this graph, the vertical axis represents the table number and the horizontal axis represents the number of balls. Further, this bar graph is created for each pachinko machine 1, and all that is not displayed on one screen shown in FIG. 16 can be viewed by switching the screen by operating the right arrow key 43 of the keyboard 20. Therefore, this graph display allows the operating status of each unit to be visually grasped by a bar graph.

Further, by operating various print keys, the same data as the display on the screen 53 of the CRT 21 described above is printed and displayed by the printer 54. That is, for example, when the table data print key operation is performed, the computer 62 causes the number of received balls and the number of discharged balls of the table designated based on the data called from the table number storage area 66, the number of inserted balls storage area 69 and the number of discharged balls storage area 70. The difference between the numbers is calculated, and the printer 54 is caused to print the table data shown in FIG. Therefore, the printer 54
By printing various data on, the printing paper 55 on which the data is printed can be carried around, or the data can be stored for a long period of time.

As described above, in the management apparatus of this embodiment, data relating to the stopping of each pachinko machine 1 is collected in the management room 4, and the stopping data is operated by the keyboard 20 to the CRT 2
1 or displayed on the printer 54, it is possible to accurately and immediately grasp the stop situation of all the pachinko machines 1 in the game arcade and easily retrieve the data regarding the stoppage of each pachinko machine 1. Therefore, the stoppage status of each pachinko machine 1 can be intensively grasped in the management room 4, and each pachinko machine 1 can be highly managed as compared with the conventional management device.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, in this embodiment, the CRT 21 and the printer 54 are used as the display means for displaying various data.
Either T21 or the printer 54 may be used.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described in detail above, the management device of the present invention is capable of intensively grasping the stoppage status of each pachinko machine and exerts an excellent effect on the management of the pachinko machine.

In addition, because the stop status of the pachinko machine can be displayed for the entire amusement arcade, by island, or for each pachinko machine, if the display switching means is operated, the stop table can be quickly grasped and the corresponding processing can be performed. There is an effect that can be.
