Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a counter with a game data display, which is installed at the end of a row of a game table having a plurality of game tables arranged side by side.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is no counter having a function of displaying game data. Generally, as shown in FIG. 6, a gaming table 50 in a game arcade has a plurality of currency accepting machines, for example, inter-lending machines 51 for lending articles such as pachinko balls and medals, sandwiched between them in a lateral direction. One game stand
52, the two gaming table rows 52 are arranged back to back with the gaming table 50 and the inter-lender 51 to form one gaming machine management unit, which is commonly called an "island". These "islands" are gathered together to form one amusement park. And, there is a tab board 53 at the end of the gaming table row 52, the pachinko balls and medals counting machine 54 are arranged in contact with the tab board 53, and the gaming data of each gaming table 50 is a game. The number of jackpots, the number of coins, and the number of medals of each game machine are displayed numerically by a data display machine of the game machines of the entire game machine installed near the entrance of the field. Therefore, when the player enters the game hall, he / she must look at the data display device to know the status of the coins and medals, and then select the game table to play. Also, when pachinko balls and medals are stored in a storage box commonly known as a dollar box, the number of pachinko balls and medals is counted by a counter 54 installed at the end of the gaming table row 52, and a counting sheet or the like is obtained. Get it and exchange it for a gift at the gift shop.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, since it is a data display device which simply displays the game data of all the gaming machines at the entrance of the game hall which is not related to the "island", etc. , In order to allow the player to grasp the game data of each gaming machine that cannot be displayed in detail and to change the game data from moment to moment, there is often a data display installed near the entrance of the game hall. I have to think about it. Furthermore, the above game data is displayed numerically on the screen, and there is no display to that effect for gaming machines that are currently hitting big or so-called excellent tables, so it takes time to grasp the game data of each gaming table. The result is easily overlooked.

Also, on the side of the amusement hall, since the counter and the data display are separate, a separate space is required for each, and the degree of freedom in layout at the amusement hall is narrowed to that extent, resulting in a row of games. If only a counter is installed at the end of the so-called, a so-called tab plate 53 is additionally required, which causes a disadvantage.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to quickly grasp the detailed game data of each gaming machine or the gaming data that changes from moment to moment at a position close to the gaming machine, and thus the gaming hall. Layout is also easy,
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a counter with a game data display that can also serve as a tab plate at the end of a game table row.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the counter with a game data display of the present invention is a game for each game table in a game table row in which a plurality of game tables are arranged side by side. Data display part that displays data on the screen, pachinko balls
A combination with a counting unit that counts the number of articles such as medals, and this combination is arranged at the end of the gaming table row,

Further, the game data on the screen of the data display section displays the number of jackpots and the total number of articles output for each game table in the game table row. The total number of articles output is preferably a bar graph display. The display of the number of jackpots on each of the gaming machines is preferably displayed on a plurality of days including today, and when the number of jackpots and the total number of articles in each of the gaming platforms exceed a predetermined number, the gaming table is displayed. It is better to display the number display of each game in different colors, and it is better to blink the number display of the gaming table that is currently a big hit. Also, each game in the gaming table row is displayed on the screen of the data display section by operating the changeover switch. It is also possible to display detailed data indicating at least the relationship between the time and the number of articles for each table, and print out the display.

It is preferable that the counting unit measures the total number of articles by measuring the weight of articles such as pachinko balls and medals.

[0009]

According to the game data display counter having the above-mentioned structure, since it is arranged at the end of the row of the game table, no need for a strip board, and each game displayed on the data display section near the game table. The game data of the table can be grasped, and thus the game table can be selected and played. As a result of the game, pachinko,
When articles such as medals are stored, the articles are put into the counting unit to measure the quantity.

Further, of the numbers of jackpots and the total number of articles displayed on the screen of the data display unit, the total number of articles is a bar graph display. Therefore, at a glance, which gaming table is an excellent table? I understand immediately.

Further, if the number of big hits of each gaming table displayed on the screen of the data display section is for a plurality of days including today, the player can grasp the tendency of the big hits of each gaming table and play the game. It becomes easier to select the platform.

Further, when the number of jackpots and the total number of articles of a certain game table exceed a predetermined number, if the number display corresponding to the game table is displayed in different colors, the player can further grasp the tendency of each game table. It becomes easier to select a game table.

Further, by blinking the number display of the gaming machines which are currently hitting big, the latest tendency of each gaming machine currently in progress can be grasped. Further, if detailed data for each gaming machine can be displayed and printed out on the screen by operating the changeover switch, it becomes easier to grasp the tendency of each gaming machine and select the gaming machine.

Then, when the counting unit measures the number of articles such as pachinko balls and medals by weight, the number is immediately known.
