〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, pachinko game machine 1. In FIG. 1 schematically showing the state seen from the back side, 2 is a tank for storing prize balls attached to the upper part of the back of each pachinko game machine 1;
is the detection switch located at the bottom of this tank 2,
This detection switch 3 is configured to detect and turn on when there are no prize pachinko balls in the tank 2. Reference numeral 4 denotes a ball catching passage provided in the upper part of each pachinko game machine 1, which corresponds to a main passage 5 through which additional pachinko balls from the ball supply source flow, and from this main passage 5 to each tank 2. It consists of a branch pipe 6, which is branched so as to extend downward. Reference numeral 7 denotes a ball supplementary ball device provided in each branch pipe 6, which is configured to allow pachinko balls to pass through and supply the pachinko balls from the main channel E45 to the tank 3 when the branch pipes 6 are driven. There is. Reference numeral 8 denotes a counting pulse generator provided in association with the ball supplement device 7, which generates one counting pulse Pc every time, for example, 10 pachinko balls pass through the ball supplement device 7.

Next, a description will be given of FIG. 2, which shows only the parts related to the gist of the present invention of the electrical configuration of the pachinko game machine 1. Reference numeral 9 denotes a detection signal generator 2 which constitutes the detection means 10 in conjunction with the detection switch 3, which generates a detection signal 89 consisting of a high level signal only during the period when the detection switch 3 is turned on. Reference numeral 11 measures the counting pulse PC from the counting pulse generator 8 and responds to the content of the count. i value signal 8
11, and when a high level signal is received at its clear terminal OL, the counting contents are initialized.

Now, 12 is a signal generating means), which will be described below. That is, reference numeral 13 is an R-8 flip-flop, and its set input terminal S is provided to receive the output of the detection signal generator 9, and its set output terminal Q receives a complementary ball command signal 8+s consisting of a high level signal. When is output, the ball complement device 7 is energized and driven via the driver 14. 15 is a first memory circuit, 16 is a second memory circuit
Each time a numerical signal is input to the write terminal WR, these memory circuits newly store the numerical signal, and output numerical signals 815 and 81b from the output terminal P, respectively, indicating the stored contents. In addition, a total of four transfer gates 17 and 18 are provided on the input and output sides of each of the memory circuits 15 and 16.
, 19, 20 are connected, and these transfer gates 17, 18, 19, 20 are rendered conductive only when receiving a high level signal at their respective gate terminals. 21 has one input terminal A connected to the output terminal of the counter 11, and the other input terminal B connected to the transfer gate 18°2.
A comparator circuit connected to each output terminal of 0 and 1 input terminal A.
, B, when the relationship of A≧B (i.e., 81+≧S15 or S11≧816) is established, the /X level signal is output from output terminal C, and A(B (i.e., 81+
+ (815 or 8++ (8+6)) A low level signal is output from output terminal C.

The output terminal C of the comparator circuit 21 is connected to the R-
8 is connected to the reset input terminal of the flip-flop 15 and the clear terminal CL of the counter 11, and is also connected to the input terminal of the AND circuit 22. On the other hand, 23 is a changing means having an operation switch (not shown). This is a keyboard, which generates a numerical signal 825 corresponding to any flrK according to the operation of the operation switch,
The numerical signal Fhs is given to transfer game 17.19. 24 and 25 are first and second selection switches that generate high level signals when turned on, respectively;
Each output of these selection switches 24 and 25 is
It is applied to the reset input terminal R and set input terminal 8 of the flip-flop 26 . The R-8 flip-flop 260 set output terminal Q is connected to each gate terminal of the transfer gates 17.18 via an inverter 27, and the transfer gates 19.
20, and further connected to each of the gate terminals of A
It is also connected to the input terminal of the ND circuit f@22. Also A
Is the output terminal of the ND circuit 22 an ordinary-S flip-flop? Connected to reset input terminal R of B.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. Now, in response to the first selection switch 24 being turned on, the 几-S flip-flop 2
6 is reset, a p-level signal is output from the set output terminal Q of the R-8 flip-flop 26, and as a result, the transfer gates 17 and 18
A high level signal is applied to each gate terminal of the circuit to make it conductive. In this state, when there are no pachinko balls in the tank 2 and the detection switch 3 is turned on, a detection signal 89 (high level signal) is output from the detection signal generator 9, and this detection signal S9 causes the is set, a supplementary ball command signal S1s is output from the set output terminal Q of the R-8 flip-frog 15, and in response to this, the supplementary ball device 7 is driven in a continuous manner, and the ball is sent from the main passage 5 to the tank. Pachinko balls will be supplied to 2. At the same time, the counting pulse generator 8 generates a number of counting pulses Pc corresponding to the number of supplied pachinko balls), and the counter 1 that counts this counting pulse PO
From 1 to 1, a numerical signal 811 corresponding to the number of generated counting pulses Pa, ie, 1/1o of the number of supplied pachinko balls, is output. Incidentally, when pachinko balls are supplied to the tank 2 in this way, the detection switch 3 is turned off and the signal generator 9 is turned off.
Although the detection signal S9 from the R, -8 flip-flop 13 is maintained in the set state, the supply of pachinko balls continues. Then, the numerical signal 11 is given to the input terminal A of the comparison circuit 21, and the comparison circuit 2
A numerical signal F315 from the first memory circuit 15 is applied to the other input terminal B of 1 through the transfer gate 18. Therefore, the comparison circuit 21 calculates the numerical value 4g 81+
Outputs a low level signal during the period and then S11
When the relationship of ≧fN5 is reached, a high level signal is output. When a high level signal is output in this way, 1. The -8 flip 1 flop 13 is reset and the supplementary ball command signal 8+s disappears, and the supply of pachinko balls by the supplementary ball device 7 is stopped, and the counter 11 is initialized. In tank 2, there is a
Pachinko balls are supplied in a number corresponding to ten times the numerical value indicated by the numerical signal S's stored in the memory circuit 15. When the selection switch 24 of KIM1 is turned on, the transfer gate 17 is in a conductive state as described above, so if the keyboard 25 also outputs an arbitrary numerical signal 823, the first record is set. The memory contents of the billion circuit 15 can be updated, and the number of pachinko balls supplied to the tank 2 per game can therefore be freely adjusted in accordance with such updates. Further, when the first selection switch 24 is turned on as in this case, only the memory contents of the first memory circuit 15 are validated, so the tank 2
K is such that a fixed number of pachinko balls are supplied to each player.

On the other hand, the number of pachinko balls supplied to tank 2 is reduced to @
If it is necessary to increase or decrease the number of pachinko balls, the second selection switch 25 is turned on and the keyboard 23 is used to generate a numerical signal 82T5 corresponding to 1/1o of the desired number of pachinko balls to be supplied.

Then, in response to turning on the second selection switch 25, R-8
Since the flip-flop 126 is set and a high-level signal is output from its set output terminal Q, the transfer gate 19 receives the high-level signal at its gate terminal.
．． 20 exhibits a conductive state, and the second storage circuit 16, which receives the numerical value and signal Fi2s from the keyboard 23 at the write terminal WR, stores the numerical signal 823 and compares the corresponding numerical signal 81b. The signal is applied to input terminal B of circuit 210. Therefore, when the supply of pachinko balls to the tank 2 is started in response to the turning on of the detection switch 3 in the same manner as described above, the second memory surface F! ! !
The number of pachinko balls corresponding to 10 times the numerical value indicated by the numerical signal 8'14 from 16 is supplied.

In this case, the numerical signal S from the counter 11
The relationship between +1 and the second storage circuit 816 is 811≧816
When the high-level signal is output from the comparison port r@21 (that is, when the supply of pachinko balls to the tank 2 is stopped), the high-level signal and the set output terminal of the S frizzle 0 flip 26 are output. The high level of the Q signal is input to the AND circuit 22 and the corresponding AND circuit 2 is input.
Since a high level signal is output from transfer gate 2, R-8 flip-flop 26 is reset and transfer gate 1
7.18 becomes conductive.

As a result, the number of pachinko balls supplied to the tank 2 is limited to one time and corresponds to the memory content of the second memory circuit 16, and from then on, the number of pachinko balls supplied to the tank 2 corresponds to the memory content of the first memory circuit 15. K so that pachinko balls are supplied in the same manner as described above.
Become.

According to the present embodiment described above, during the period when the complementary ball command signal Fhs is outputted from the flip-flop 13, the ball supplementary device 7 is operated and the pachinko game t! The configuration is such that pachinko balls are supplied to the tank 2 of A1, and the output period of the supplementary ball command signal 8+5, that is, the weighting M of the supplementary ball command signal S1s (in other words, the additional pachinko ball for one time to the tank 2) The number of balls) can be freely set at any time by operating the keyboard, so it is possible to efficiently and precisely adjust the so-called slump by adjusting the M degree of the pachinko balls in the tank 2. can. In addition, the first selection switch 24 and the N2 selection switch 25
Depending on the on state of , you can arbitrarily select either a mode in which the number of additional pachinko balls to tank 2 is increased or decreased only once, or a mode in which the number of additional pachinko balls is continuously increased or decreased. , the slump can be adjusted more precisely.

Incidentally, the circuit configuration shown in FIG. 2 is actually designed to obtain the same function by a program of a computer device.
