Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the intervention by a gang of racketeers in pachinko machines or the like to check the exchanging of medals for money by a method wherein a video of a VTR or the like advances in proportion to points obtained, the video operation is stopped and then, the video of the VTR continues to advance in proportion to the subsequent scoring while the value of the advancing is made proportional to the number of points obtained. CONSTITUTION:When a prepaid card 2 is put into a slit 3 to operate a lever 4, a ball 6 is set ready to shoot on a rail 6. Now, a game starts. When the ball enters a minor prize hole 8, a medium prize hole 9 or a major hole 10, points are displayed on a window 11. At the same time, an image 13 with a VTR or the like is projected on a display 12 comprising a Braun tube. The image is projected for a time length proportional to the number of points obtained. For example, the image is projected for 20sec. when 10 points are earned and for one min when 30 points are earned. With the passage of time, the image is interrupted and projected again reflecting the value of the advancing of the image corresponding to the number of the scores upon the earning of the subsequent scores are earned.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pachinko machine or slot machine which is free of cash and which does not reduce the number of customers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional pachinko machines, gangs intervene when redeeming prizes, and pachinko parlors do illegal things such as cheating balls or tax evasion. Therefore, when troubles occur, they cannot be reported to the police and rely on gangsters, so it was a hotbed for gangs to intervene in pachinko parlors and tax evasion for pachinko parlors. A similar phenomenon occurs in slot machines that use metal and pay dividend metal.

On the other hand, if the balls are not converted into cash, the result is that the number of customers decreases. Even if such a device was created, no one would use it, so it was impossible to eliminate gangs or prevent tax evasion.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Preventing pachinko balls or metal of slot machines from being exchanged for cash, leaving room for gangs to intervene, and inventing means for not reducing customers even without exchange of balls. Put in the device.

[0005]

[Means for solving the problem] I want to continue watching a movie, but when I stop halfway, I want to watch the next one. The present invention is a movie,
It attracts customers by stimulating the expectation of the progress of images such as television and video games, and since there is no cash conversion process, it eliminates the intervention and tax evasion of gangs by conventional pachinko or slot machines.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is an external front view of a pachinko machine 1 of an embodiment of the present invention, in which a prepaid card 2 purchased in advance for preventing fraudulent purchase of a ball is inserted into a slot 3 and then a lever 4 is operated. Then, the ball 5 can be fired on the board 7 along the rail 6. A conventional method that does not use a prepaid card may be used. On the board 7, there are provided a small prize hole 8, a middle prize hole 9, and a large prize hole 10 into which the ball 5 is inserted, and the points which gradually increase in accordance with the small, medium, and large sizes of these prize holes are displayed on the window 11. To be done.

A VTR, C is used for the display 12 such as a cathode ray tube, an LCD or a projection television.
An image 13 such as D, a laser disk, etc. appears, which is provided at almost the eye level, and the larger the score displayed on the window 11, the longer the image 13 appears and then the image 13 disappears. For example, if 10 points are entered, 20 seconds are entered, if 30 points are entered, the image moves for 1 minute and stops, and if 20 points are entered next, the image is moved for another 40 seconds.

The hit ball 5 exits to the outlet 14 and circulates so that it can be hit again by the lever 4 so as not to go outside. As a result, there is no trouble of shaving the ball or redeeming the prize.

The number of balls that can be hit with a single prepaid card is fixed, and the image 13 is an image of a progressive scene or a video game scene that has an exciting interest, and is an image that can be expected to always look at the next. In addition, since the customer aims at the prize hole 10 in order to see as many images as possible and buys a lot of prepaid cards 2, the customer's playfulness is attracted to the customer, and the profit of the store is also increased.

FIG. 2 shows a slot machine 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
An external front view of the rotating cylinder 2 is shown on the front panel 21.
A plurality of front surfaces of No. 2 are seen, and some of the symbols 23, 24, 25 on these rotating cylinders can be seen from the front. First, when purchasing the metal 26 or the prepaid card and inserting it into the insertion slot 27 and then pressing the start lever 28, the symbols 23, 24 and 25 rotate. When the rotation becomes steady, the lever 28 is tilted to rotate the rotating cylinder 2
Stop button 2 or stop button 2 provided for each symbol
Pressing 9, 30, and 31 stops the rotation of each symbol.

[0011] At that time, the five winning lines 32, 33, 3 shown in the window 22 whether the plurality of symbols are aligned or not.
The score is shown on the digital display 37 by the combination of symbols stopped on 4, 35, 36. The number of pay lines is determined according to the number of metals to be inserted. For example, if there is only one piece of metal, one horizontal pay line 33 in the center,
When there are two, one horizontal winning line 32, 33, 34, 3
When the number is one, a total of five pay lines including two diagonal lines 35 and 36 can be used. In another embodiment, when the symbols 23, 24 and 25 are rotated by the lever and all the symbols are aligned, a high score is obtained.

The image 38 on the screen 38 advances in proportion to the score displayed on the display 37 by tilting the screen 38 by the CRT, LCD, or projection screen so that the player looks down. As with the pachinko machine, the score and the progress of the video 39 are related to each other, so coins or prepaid cards are inserted one after another due to the desire to see the next video, and the income of the store increases.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the inside of the pachinko machine shown in FIG. 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Prepaid card 2
Or, if you insert a coin into the slot 3, the card sensor 4
The number of hits from the card is detected at 0, and the ball pool 41
Is transmitted to the ball releasing device 42. When the hitting lever 4 is operated, the ball launching device 43 launches the ball 5 along the rail 6. The number of balls that have entered the prize hole is counted by the number of entered balls counter 44 and displayed on the window 11, and enters the ball reservoir 41 together with the balls 45 that do not enter the prize hole. The ball in the ball reservoir 41 is again hit by the lever 4 and circulates. The signal from the card sensor 40 determines the number of balls that can be hit, and the signal of the number of balls counted by the counter 44 into the prize hole is calculated by the computer 46.
Then, the motor 47 is rotated in proportion to the number of balls, thereby rotating the video tape 48 or LD or CD.
That is, the image 13 on the videotapes LD and CD can be viewed only for a time period proportional to the number of balls entering the prize hole.

FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of the inside of the slot machine shown in FIG. 2 of the embodiment of the present invention. Metal 2
When 6 or a prepaid card is inserted into the insertion slot 27 and the start lever 28 is pushed, the cylinder 22 rotates and the symbols 23, 24, 25 on the cylinder 22 rotate. When the lever 28 is tilted to stop the cylinders or the stop buttons 29, 30, 31 are pressed, the rotations of the cylinders are stopped, but the symbols of the cylinders are detected by the sensors 49, 50, 51, and the combination of the symbols whose rotation is stopped is detected. Calculated as a score on the computer 52,
The motor 53 is rotated in proportion to the size of the score, the video tape is fed, and the LD and CD are rotated. That is, the larger the score of the symbol, the video tape, LD, or CD
You can watch the video 39 by.
