Moreover, you can hear the result with sound effects,
By looking at the result display means 17, the result can be instantly recognized.

<Example> The present invention will be described below based on an example shown in the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a predetermined number of game balls 1 are built inside, and when the game balls 1 in the firing gutter 2 are operated by a firing handle 3 serving as a firing operation part, they are passed through a guide rail 4 to a game part. Fire one every 5 days.

In the upper center of the gaming section 5, there is provided one specific winning device 6 that grants the qualification to play another game when the game ball wins, and below it, the special winning device 6 grants the qualification to play another game when the game ball wins. A line of horizontal lines that individually generate signals for the combination game related to the game.
Arrange 16 targets 7.

The specific winning device 6 immediately grants the player the qualification to play another game when the game ball 1 wins. On the other hand, the target 7 can be played by individually lighting up a plurality of target lamps 9 arranged in a matrix within a game frame 8, which will be described later. The player is given the qualification to play another game only when the crabs are lined up in a line.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game balls 1 that have entered the specific winning equipment 6 and the target 7 are collected by the game ball collecting gutter 10 on the back side and stored in the game ball holding gutter 11 for subsequent game balls. will be used for launch.

Further, a game frame 8 is provided below the target 7. In this case, a combination game display device consisting of 16 target lamps 9 arranged in a matrix of 4 rows and 4 columns is disposed on the back plate of the game frame 8, and a combination game display device consisting of 16 target lamps 9 is arranged on the bottom plate 13. A game device for different games consisting of betting lamps 14A, 14B, and 14C is provided, and is constructed in a so-called deep structure.

Sixteen targets 7 are assigned to each of the target lamps 9, and when the game ball 1 fired at the game section 5 hits one target 7,
Based on the signal from the target 7, the corresponding target lamp 9 is turned on.

Incidentally, even if the game ball 1 hits the same target 7 successively during one game, after the first shot lights up, the second and subsequent game balls are ignored.

On the other hand, each of the betting lamps 14A to 14C constituting a game device for a different game is designed to turn on repeatedly in order from left to right in FIG. 1, and the circulation speed is random. Change. The circulating operation of the bet lamps 14A to 14C is caused by the player selecting and operating one of two bet input switches 15A and 15C, which are provided on the front of the gaming machine and serve as game operation means for intervening in another game. This will stop the process. That is, the first bet input switch 15A is connected to the first bet lamp 1 on the left side.
4A and the second bet input switch 15C correspond to the third bet lamp 14C on the right side, respectively.

Then, as shown in Fig. 3, the first (or second)
When the bet input switch 15A (or 15C) is operated, if the cyclic lighting stops and lights up on the bet lamp 14A (or 14C), as a result of another game,
A "jackpot" result pattern is formed, and a score of "5 points" is given to the player. This result pattern is displayed by lighting any of the display lamps 16A to 16C, which serve as one result display means for displaying the result pattern of another game. Here, game frame 8
The player is notified by lighting up the "5 points" display lamp 16A located in the upper row on the right side of the screen.

On the other hand, if another bet lamp 14C (or 14A) stops lighting even though the first (or second) bet input switch 15A (or 15C) is operated, A "small win" result pattern is formed, and the player is given a score of "1 point," which is a smaller score than the "big win" result pattern. This is notified to the player by simultaneously lighting up the "1 point" display lamp 16B located in the middle row on the right side of the game frame 8.

On the other hand, the first (or second) bet input switch 15
Even though A (or 15C) was manipulated,
If the bet lamp 14B stops lighting, it will be considered a "lose" and no points will be given to the player, but in this case, by lighting the "lose" indicator lamp 16C located at the bottom, the game will end. be informed.

Thus, "5 points" indicator lamp 16A, "1 point"
Indicator lamp 16B and "missing" indicator lamp 16
C constitutes a separate game result display 17 which is one of the result display means, and the results of the separate games are displayed to the player through the result display 17.

In the case of this embodiment, selection lamps 18A and 18C are provided above the first and second bet input switches 15A and 15C, which light up when they are operated, so that the player's selection results can be displayed and confirmed. ing. Of course, without providing selection lamps 18A and 18C separately, input switch 15A
And a switch with a lamp may be used as 15C.

The above is the outline of the pinball game device 20, and the game content by this pinball game device 20 is controlled by the control circuit 21 shown in FIG.

The control circuit 21 includes a logic operation section 25 that processes incoming data, and a program memory 26 that stores the operation procedure and other control procedures.
and a data memory 27 for temporarily storing data.
and a microcomputer-configured arithmetic processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 29 which has a large number of input/output ports 28 built into an LSI package;
It consists of various receivers that receive input signals to the CPU 29, and various drivers and amplifiers that drive each element of the pinball game device 20.

The data memory 27, as shown in FIG.
A working area 31 that temporarily stores conditions necessary for calculation control, a game number register 32 that stores the number of games played in a day, a score accumulation register 33 that stores the cumulative value of points earned by the player, and a score accumulation register 32 that stores the number of games played in a day. It consists of a profit and loss register 34 that stores the difference between the value and the number of games.

However, when a card storing game data is inserted into the card insertion slot 36 provided on the surface of the pinball game device 20, the control circuit 21 operates by reading the stored data of this card with the card reader 38. become a state.

This card records game count data, date setting data, and store code data in the form of magnetic codes.

Magnetic recording on such cards is as shown in Figures 6 and 7.
As shown in the figure, this is done by a card issuing machine 41 and its control circuit 42. The card issuing machine 41 is
A game card is issued to players who come to a game parlor to give them the qualification to play, and when a player inserts a coin into the coin slot 42, the number of games played corresponding to the amount of money is sent to the card reader. 42
magnetically recorded on the card.

That is, the coin inserted into the coin slot 42 is detected by the coin detector 43, converted into an amount by the first counter 44, and displayed on the amount display 4.
At the same time, the second counter 46 converts the number of games to the corresponding number of games and displays the number of games displayed on the number of games display 47. The game count data of the second counter 46 is input to the reader controller 48, and is magnetically recorded on the card via the card reader 42 when the player presses the issue switch 49 to activate the reader controller 48.

In the case of this embodiment, in order to prevent fraudulent acts, when recording the number of games data, the store code data and The date setting data is recorded on the card at the same time.

After recording such data, the card reader 42 issues the card to the player through the card issuing port 52.

Incidentally, the store code and date may be set uniquely to each game store, or, for example, a random number, a recitation code, etc. may be set in the store code setting switch 50 and date setting switch 51.

In FIG. 6, 53 is a return push button switch for returning the coins once inserted to the return slot 54.

When such a card is inserted into the card insertion slot 36 of the pinball game machine 20, the card reader 38 detects it and sends the detection output to the CPU 29. At this time, the CPU 29 controls the pinball game device 2.
The game lamp 56 provided at the card slot 36 is turned on, and the card reader 38 disables further insertion of cards from the card insertion slot 36.

At the same time, the card reader 38 is activated by the CPU 29.
The store code, date data, and number of games data recorded on the card are read through the card and temporarily stored in the working area 27 of the data memory 27. Among this data, the store code and date data are stored in the pinball game machine 20, for example, as shown in FIG.
It is compared with setting data given from a store code setting switch 60 and a date setting switch 61 provided on a setting management board 59 provided on the inner surface 58 of the back plate. If the results of the comparison match, the CPU 29 digitally displays the contents of the game count data stored in the working area 31 on the score display 63 via the driver 62.

In this way, the player can start a game using this pinball game device 20.

On the other hand, if the comparison results do not match, the game cannot be started, and the card is returned to the player through the card insertion slot 36 by the card reader 38.

The game is started by the player operating a start switch 65 provided on the front of the pinball game device 20. At this time, the control circuit 21 receives the start command signal via the receiver 66,
The game ball ejecting device 67 is operated via the driver 68, and "1" is subtracted from the value displayed on the score display 63 via the driver 62. At the same time, "1" is added to the contents of the game number register 32, and "1" is added to the contents of the profit and loss register 34 (FIG. 5).

As shown in FIG.
is opened and closed by a solenoid 71 for ejecting game balls, and when the solenoid 71 is energized, the locking bar 70 is rotated from the mooring position shown in the figure to the ejection position, thereby releasing the planned number of game balls, for example, 16. is discharged to the launch gutter 2 through the discharge gutter 72.

Once the game is ready to be played in this way, the player fires the game balls in the firing gutter 2 into the gaming section 5 using the firing handle 3, and when the game balls that flow down enter the specific winning equipment 6, , this is detected by the specific winning ball detector 75, and this detection output is stored in the working area 31 via the receiver 66, and the player is immediately given the qualification to play another game.

On the other hand, when the game ball that has flown down enters any of the targets 7, the CPU 29 stores the detection signal of the target switch 76 provided for each target 7 in the working memory 31 via the receiver 77, and The corresponding target lamp 9 is turned on via 78.

The above operation is repeated every time a game ball 1 hits the target 7, and in this way, the 16 game balls 1 are exhausted, or in the middle of the process, the display contents of the combination game display device become a preset combination mode. That is, when the target lamps 9 are lit in a line in either the vertical, horizontal or diagonal direction, this fact is stored in the working memory 31,
The player is given the qualification to play another game.

At this time, the CPU 21 drives a speaker 81 as a sound generating means that generates a sound effect in connection with another game via the amplifier 80, and generates a pseudo sound (for example, beep, beep) via the speaker 81,
To aurally notify a player of the start of another game.

Also, at this time, the first to third bet lamps 14A
~14C is randomly switched to a relatively high speed via the driver 82, and at the same time, the bet input switches 15A and 15C are switched to the receiver 66.
Bet input signals can be accepted via the .

In this state, when the player operates the bet input switch 15A or 15C as a game operation means, the CPU 29 inputs the bet input switch 15A or 15C to the working area 3.
1, and the corresponding selection lamp 18A or 18C is lit via the driver 82.
At the same time, the CPU 29 randomly slows down the circulation speed of the bet lamps 14A to 14C via the driver 82, stops the circulation movement after a certain period of time, for example, 3 seconds, and the bet lamps that were lit at the time of this stop continue to be lit thereafter. state.

After that, the CPU 29 reads the betting lamp number that is stopped and lit, and the player enters the working area 31.
and the content of the bet input signal input to
Either the display lamp 16A, the "1 point" display lamp 16B, or the "miss" display lamp 16C is turned on for a certain period of time, for example, 3 seconds, so that the player can visually perceive the result of another game.

In this embodiment, the CPU 29 outputs "5".
At the same time as the "dot" display lamp 16A is turned on, a "jackpot" sound is generated from a speaker 81 via an amplifier 80 to aurally notify the player that a "jackpot" result pattern has been formed.

In addition, the CPU 29 stores the points given to the player according to the comparison results in the working area 31, and adds and displays them on the score display 63 via the driver 62. Therefore, this score display 63 also functions as one of the result display means for displaying the results of the other games, and the score display 63 displays the total score including the points obtained in the other games.

Thereafter, the CPU 29 turns off the target lamp 79 via the driver 78, turns off the selection lamps 18A and 18C via the driver 82, and returns the circulation display speed of the bet lamps 14A to 14C to the original speed. , thus entering a standby state.

In this way, an upper limit value is set in advance for the total score until the end of one game (corresponding to the game until the end of firing 16 game balls). Note that this upper limit value is usually controlled by ordinances or the like.

In the case of this embodiment, the upper limit value of the score is "5", and this upper limit value is set in advance by a score upper limit setting switch 91 provided on the setting board 59, and is inputted to the CPU 29 via the receiver 92. (8th
figure). However, the CPU 29 causes the score display 63 to
The content of the addition is constantly compared with the set value of the setting switch 91, and when the content of the score display 63 exceeds the set value "5" [total score - 5], the difference score is displayed via the driver 62. Every time one game is completed, an addition is displayed on a replay display 93 provided on the game board surface.

Therefore, the score display 63 and the replay display 9
3 displays the number of games played, and if the replay display 93 is not "0" when the start switch 65 is pressed at the start of the game, the CPU 29 displays "0" from the contents of the replay display 93. Subtract 1'' and start the game (you can play the game with 16 game balls). On the other hand, if the content of the replay display 93 is "0" when the start switch 65 is operated, "1" is subtracted from the content of the score display 63 and the game is started.
Note that if both the replay display 93 and the score display 63 are "0", the player is not qualified to play the game and cannot start the game.

In the case of this embodiment, the upper limit value is also set as "9" for the display content of the replay display 93,
Therefore, the replay display 93 is designed to be able to display numbers from "0" to "9", but when the addition result is "9" or more, it maintains the display of "9", thus increasing the upper limit " Ignore differential scores greater than 9.

Incidentally, the upper limit value of this replay display may be set to an arbitrary value in the same way as the score upper limit setting switch 91.

However, when the content of the score display 63 becomes "0" as the game is repeated, the CPU 29 detects that the game by the player has ended.
The card reader 38 is driven to collect the inserted cards into the card stacker 95 shown in FIG. , returns the pinball game device 20 to its initial state.

In this way, the player can play the pinball game device 20.
You will be disqualified from playing the game.

The end of one game is determined by counting the number of game balls that have entered the specific prize winning tool 6 and the target 7. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, a game ball detector 97 is provided at the exit position of the game ball collecting gutter 10, and each time the passage of a game ball is detected, the detection signal is inputted to the CPU 29 via the receiver 66. At this time, the CPU 29 calculates the number of game balls detected in the working area, and when the number reaches "16", "1" is subtracted from the display content of the score display 63 via the driver 62 and displayed. Therefore, when the display content of the score display 63 becomes "0", it is detected that the game in that gaming device is over.

On the other hand, a settlement switch 98 is provided above the pinball game device 20 to allow the player to end the game during the game. This payment switch 98
When is operated by the player, a settlement command signal is input to the CPU 29 via the receiver 66. At this time, the CPU 29 operates the card reader 38, magnetically records the code outputs of the store code setting switch 99 and date setting switch 100 on the card via the receiver 101, and at the same time records the score displayed on the score display 63 on the card. magnetically record.

Thereafter, the CPU 29 returns the card to the player through the card insertion slot 36, turns off the game lamp 56, turns off the target lamp 9, and returns the display on the score display 63 and replay display 93 to zero, thus making the bullet The ball game device 20 is returned to its initial state.

Therefore, the player can move to another pinball game device 20 with this card and continue playing the game based on the points earned so far.

Further, the player can take the card to the payment machine 105 installed at the payment office and receive payment corresponding to the points obtained through the control circuit 106 (FIGS. 9 and 10). .

The payment machine 105 has a card insertion slot 107, and carries the card inserted into the insertion slot 107 to a card reader 108 to read its stored contents. And the reader controller 109
compares the store code and date data read from the card with the settings of the store code setting switch 110 and date setting switch 111, and if they match, the score data read from the card is displayed on the game count display 112. Thus, payment is made based on this display, and the cards after payment are collected into the built-in card stacker.

Incidentally, if the store code and date data do not match, the alarm lamp 113 is turned on to call attention to it.

The configuration related to the player's game has been described above, and next, the management component on the game parlor side will be explained.

First, the score accumulation register 3 of the data memory 27
3, each time a player is given a score in another game, the score is accumulated. On the other hand, on the setting plate 59 shown in FIG.
is provided, and the set numerical value is input to the CPU 29 via the receiver 92, and is compared with the content of the score accumulation register 33, and when the content exceeds the set value of the number of strokes setting switch 115, the corresponding pinball game is Converting device 20 to a disabled state.

That is, the CPU 29 lights up the discontinuation display 116 via the driver 83 to notify the discontinuation state, and at the same time, the CPU 29 lights the discontinuation display 116 via the driver 83 to notify the discontinuation state.
The program jumps to a program that receives the payment command input from 8 and the management command input from the receiver 121 for inputting management commands.

However, if the player sees the display on the stop display 116 and operates the settlement switch 98, the CPU 2
After performing the payment processing as described above at step 9, the system enters a standby state for a management command signal from the receiver 121.

As shown in FIG. 8, the receiver 121 includes a game number display switch 122, a score accumulation display switch 123, and a profit and loss display switch 1 provided on the setting board 59.
The command input from 24 is input to the CPU 29, and at this time, the CPU 29 causes the corresponding data to be displayed on the sales data display 125, which is also provided on the setting board 59, via the driver 126, thus giving the administrator information on future management. Provide various data for Along with this, a stop release switch 1 is also provided on the setting plate 59.
27 is provided, and the cancellation cancellation command is given to the CPU 29. At this time, the content of the score accumulation register 33 is cleared by the CPU 29, and the cancellation indicator 116 is turned off, thus returning to the initial state where the game can be played again.

As described above, the presentation of management data regarding cancellation has been described.
The commands from 4 can be preferentially interrupted no matter what state the control circuit 21 is in, thus making it easy to obtain the data necessary to manage the game parlor. There is.

In the above configuration, each pinball game device 20 has a card issued from the card issuing machine 41.
When the card is inserted into the card insertion slot 36 of the pinball game device 20, the CPU 29 turns on the game lamp 56, reads the store code and date data from the inserted card, and switches the store code setting switch 99 and After confirming the match with the data on the date setting switch 100, the game count data is read from the card and the game count is displayed on the score display 63.

In this state, when the player operates the start switch 65, the CPU 29 operates the game ball discharging device 67 to move the 16 game balls to the holding gutter 1.
1 to the firing gutter 2, and the score display 6
3 is subtracted from the displayed content, "1" is added to the game number register 32, and the profit/loss number "1" is added to the loss register 34.

In this state, when the player operates the firing handle 3 and fires one game ball 1 in the firing gutter 2 at the gaming section 5, and that game ball 1 hits the target 7, the combination game display device The corresponding target lamp 9 lights up. However, the game ball 1 passing through the target 7 is detected by the game ball detector 97 at that time, and the CPU 29 adds up the number of detections, and when the integrated value reaches "16",
One game ends.

On the other hand, when the target lamps 9 light up in a line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally during this one game, the CPU 29 increases the speed of circulating the betting lamps 14A to 14C and generates a sound. A sound effect is generated from a speaker 81 as a means, and this sound effect notifies the player of the start of another game.

Therefore, the player selects the bet switch 15A or 1.
When you operate 5C, the cycle lighting speed will randomly slow down and stop after about 3 seconds. Bet lamp 14A, 1 lit by the CPU 29 during this stop
4B or 14C and the player's bet input number, and depending on the comparison result, a "5 point" display lamp 16A and a "1 point" display lamp 1 as result display means.
6B or the "lost" indicator lamp 16C is turned on, and the speaker 81 as a sound generating means notifies the player of the winning/losing results with sound effects.

Thus, the points obtained in one game are added and displayed as they are on the score display 63 unless the score on the score display 63 exceeds the upper limit set value "5",
If the upper limit set value is "5" or more, "5" is added to the score display 63 and the difference value is displayed on the replay display 93 together with the sum displayed.

Incidentally, if the replay indicator 93 exceeds its upper limit value "9", addition of "9" or more is not performed and is ignored. Along with this, the number of points (score display 6
3 and the number added to the replay display 93) is added to the score accumulation register 33, and the number of points is subtracted from the contents of the profit and loss register 34 as the number of losses.

On the other hand, if the game ball 1 wins in the specific winning device 6 during one game, the qualification to play another game is immediately granted, and as in the case described above, the effect of the speaker 81 as a sound generating means A player is auditorily notified by sound that another game has started. Moreover, the results of the different games are audibly notified to the player by sound effects from the speaker 81 as a sound generating means, and are also notified to the player through the display on the result display 17 or the score display 63 as a result display means. It is also visually perceived.

In this way, as the game is repeated, when the display contents of the score display 63 and the replay display 93 become "0", the game ends and the CPU 29
The cards are collected into the card stacker 95, and the game lamp 56 and target lamp 9
are turned off, and the pinball game device 20 returns to its initial state.

However, when making payment during the game, the player operates the payment switch 98. Then,
The CPU 29 magnetically records the score displayed on the score display 63 on the card and returns it to the player. or,
At the same time as clearing the replay display 93, the game lamp 56 and the target lamp 9 are turned off,
The pinball game device 20 is returned to its initial state.

Therefore, the player can use the returned card to
You can play the game again with another pinball game device 20,
Further, payment can also be made using the payment machine 105.

On the other hand, the administrator uses the command switch on the setting board 59 to set the game number register 32 in the data memory 27,
By reading the contents of the score accumulation register 33 and the profit and loss register 34, data necessary for management can be easily obtained.

Furthermore, the CPU 29 controls the score accumulation register 33.
When the content exceeds the set value of the number of stops, the pinball game device 20 is brought into a stop state, and the stop state is displayed on the stop display 116. In order to cancel the disabled state, the administrator uses the disabled release switch 127 on the setting board 59 to cancel the disabled state.

Incidentally, as the result display means, the result mode of another game may be displayed on only one of the result display 17 and the score display 63.

Furthermore, in the description of the above embodiment, the betting lamps 14A to 14C are used as game devices for playing different games, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a display device that variably displays numbers or symbols can also be used. Alternatively, the game device may be used to play another game.

<Effects of the Invention> As explained above, according to the present invention, a normal game in which a player participates in the game through a game ball fired via the firing operation section gives the player the qualification to play another game using the game device. Even in the pinball game machine, the progress of the game is extremely easy for the player to understand, and even a player who is not used to playing on the game machine can enjoy the game with peace of mind and ease.

That is, since the game mode of the player is different between the normal game and the separate game, the player is required to perform operations corresponding to each game. For this reason, in a normal game, you have to operate the firing operation part while paying attention to adjusting the flight distance of the game ball, whereas in a separate game, you have to use an external game operating means for a game device that is different from the normal game. Since the operation is required, the player must try the operation method that suits each case, and if the player moves to another game, in order to increase the profit given to the player, the player must try the operation method that suits each case.
