It is determined whether the medal detection sensor is turned on by approaching the payout port 47 and a medal detection signal is transmitted.

If the medal detection sensor is not on, the full flag F is set to “0” (step 3), and if it is on, the full flag F is set to “1” (step 4).
Then, the process proceeds to step 5 to determine whether or not the medal payout switch 63 is pressed and turned on. The process returns to step 2 until the medal payout switch 63 is turned on, and the full flag F is set by looking at the medal detection sensor. repeat.

  When the medal payout switch 63 is turned on, the process proceeds to step 6 to determine the state of the full flag F. If the full flag F = 0, the process jumps to step 11 to drive the payout motor of the medal payout device 61 to pay out the medal. However, if the full flag F = 1, the process proceeds to step 7 where the payout motor is stopped, and a warning that the medal payout space 50 of the medal payout box 10 is full is displayed on the display unit 6, that is, by image or sound. Announcement is made (step 8).

Then, in the next step 9, it is determined whether or not the medal detection sensor is turned on. While the medal detection sensor is turned on, the process returns to step 7, and steps 7, 8, and 9 are repeated, the payout motor is stopped, and a warning is issued. Persist display.
When a certain number of medals are taken out from the medal payout space 50 of the medal payout box 10 and the full state is resolved, the process goes from step 9 to step 10 to turn off the warning on the display unit 6 and proceed to step 11 to pay out the medal payout device 61. The motor is driven to pay out medals.

  When the payout motor is driven, it is determined in the next step 12 whether or not the medal detection sensor is turned on. If not, the process proceeds to step 13 to check whether or not the payout of all medals accumulated in the credit has been completed. Until the process is completed, the process returns to step 11 to drive the payout motor to continue paying out medals.

When the payout of medals is completed, the process proceeds from step 13 to step 14, the drive of the payout motor is stopped, and the process returns to step 2.
If the medal payout box 10 becomes full during the payout of medals, the medal detection sensor is turned on and the process returns from step 12 to step 14 to stop driving the payout motor and stop the payout of medals.

  Therefore, in this case, even if the medal payout switch 63 is pressed again, the payout motor remains stopped (step 7), and a warning is displayed, so that the medal payout space 50 of the medal payout box 10 is taken out and medals are full. If the full state is resolved, the warning display disappears (step 10), the payout motor is driven (step 11), and the remaining medals are paid out.

  As described above, if the medal payout space 50 of the medal payout box 10 is not full, if the medal payout switch 63 is pressed, the medals accumulated in the credit are paid out to the medal payout space 50 of the medal payout box 10. When the medal payout space 50 of the payout box 10 is full, even if the medal payout switch 63 is pressed, a warning is displayed on the display unit 61 and no medal is paid out.

  Since the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 12 is configured as described above, when a ball displaying a number (not shown) rolls on the upper surface of the turntable 2 and enters any hole of the turntable 2. When the numbers are selected and the numbers assigned to the squares of the display unit 6 in each satellite unit 4 are in a bingo state, the squares are lit and displayed, and the squares are displayed vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. When arranged above, the smaller the appearance probability, the larger the number of medals paid out, and the calculated number of medals paid out is displayed on the display unit 6 of the satellite unit 4.

  Each time the player repeats the bingo game several times, the player takes out a predetermined number of medals 60 from the medal take-out space 53 of the medal payout box 10 and inserts the medal 60 into the medal insertion receptacle 7 to continue the game. However, if the medal 60 in the medal payout box 10 does not disappear and the bingo state is reached, the new medal payout number is added to the medal payout number displayed on the display unit 6 of the satellite unit 4, and the satellite unit 4. The cumulative medal payout credit number is displayed on the display unit 6.

  When the number of medals 60 in the medal payout box 10 decreases or disappears and the player needs to replenish the medal payout box 10 with the medal payout box 10, pressing the medal payout switch 63 causes the medal payout device 61 to operate. The medals 60 are paid out to the medal payout space 50 of the medal payout box 10 from the payout device 61 through the medal payout flat pipe 62 and the medal payout port 47, and the medal payout credit amount is subtracted from the display portion 6 by the payout amount. Displayed.

  The medal 60 paid out to the medal payout space 50 moves to the front side from the partition wall 33 by the inclined portion 19a of the bottom wall 19 and enters the medal pick-up space 53. Therefore, the medal payout space 50 and the vicinity of the medal payout opening 47 The accumulation of medal 60 is suppressed.

  However, when the accumulation of medals 60 near the medal payout opening 47 in the medal payout space 50 progresses and the upper surface of the medal deposit layer approaches the medal payout opening 47, a medal detection signal is transmitted from a medal detection sensor not shown in FIG. The medal payout device 61 stops operating in accordance with the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, and the medal payout is interrupted, and the display unit 6 displays that the medal 60 cannot be paid out.

  When the player knows that the medal is full in the medal payout space 50 from this display and scrapes the medal 60 in the medal payout space 50 to the medal takeout space 53 or takes out the medal 60 from the medal takeout space 53, the medal detection sensor Is lost, the medal payout device 61 is restarted, and the payout of medals is resumed.

  When the number of medal payout credits becomes zero, the medal payout by the medal payout device 61 ends.

  As described above, the medal payout device 61 is automatically stopped before the medal payout by the medal 60 accumulated in the medal payout space 50 can be stopped. Therefore, the medal payout device 61 can be prevented from being broken or damaged. .

  The medal 60 is a conventionally well-known medal payout device. The medal 60 is provided with a medal holding claw in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of a rotating disk (not shown) inclined obliquely, and the rotating disk rotates. Accordingly, the medals 60 are sent out one by one, and the medal payout flat rectangular pipe 62 extends upward, so that the medal 60 accumulates adjacent to the tip 62a of the medal payout flat square pipe 62. In addition, although a large load is applied to the payout motor of the medal 60 and it is easy to break or break down, in the embodiment, since the payout of the medal is automatically stopped immediately in such a state, such a problem is solved. The

  Further, since the space in the medal payout box 10 is partitioned by the partition wall 33 into the medal payout space 50 on the back side and the medal takeout space 53 on the near side, the medal 60 in the medal payout space 50 can be scraped to the front. For example, the top surface height of the medal accumulation layer in the medal payout space 50 can be lowered to pay out medals, and the medal take-out space is provided by the medal 60 and the partition wall 33 scraped into the medal take-out space 53. 53, and the backward movement of the medal 60 to the medal payout space 50 can be prevented.

  Since the deflecting plate 44 is arranged opposite to the medal payout port 47, the local accumulation of the medal 60 in the vicinity of the medal payout port 47 can be prevented, and the amount of the medal 60 accumulated in the medal payout space 50 is increased. can do.
