When the numeric key "3" of the input device 310 is pressed, it is determined that the setting is selected, and the process proceeds to step S5, and the setting process is performed. On the other hand, when the input operation on the input device 310 is not performed, step S2 is repeatedly performed. In other words, it waits until the numeric keys “1”, “2” and “3” of the input device 310 are input. When the collection process of step S3, the equivalent exchange process of step S4, and the setting process of step S5 are completed, the process returns to step S1. In other words, any one of steps S1 and S2 and steps S3, S4 and S5 is repeatedly executed.

  FIG. 9 shows the details of the collection process performed in step S3 of FIG. In the first step S11 of the collection process, it is determined whether the portable recording medium 350 is attached to the collection cart 30 or not. That is, the recording medium read / write control unit 346 of the control device 332 detects whether or not the portable recording medium 350 is connected to the connection terminal 348. When the connection of the portable recording medium 350 is detected, the recording medium reading / writing control unit 346 outputs detection information to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. Thus, the main control unit 338 determines that the portable recording medium 350 is attached. When the detection information is not output from the recording medium reading / writing control unit 346, the main control unit 338 determines that the portable recording medium 350 is not attached. If it is determined in step S11 that the portable recording medium 350 is not loaded, the process returns to step S1 of FIG. 1 and the above-described initial menu is displayed on the display device 308. If it is determined in step S11 that the portable recording medium 350 is loaded, the process proceeds to the next step S12.

  In step S12, predetermined information is read from the portable recording medium 350. That is, the recording medium reading / writing control unit 346 of the control device 332 reads predetermined information from the portable recording medium 350, and outputs the read information to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. The main control unit 338 stores the information received from the recording medium reading / writing control unit 346 in the storage device 334. The information to be read includes the machine number which is identification information of the game machines 10A to 10E, the name of the game machine, the coin count value which is the result of collecting money in the previous collecting operation, and the count value of the magnetic counter 116.

That is, the main control unit 338 of the control device 332 outputs the equipment number input screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332, and the display control unit 342 displays the screen shown in FIG. . In the present embodiment, the input of the machine number is performed by reading the barcode of the barcode seal 118 attached to the safe 108 of the game machine 10A to 10E by the barcode reader 352.

  In the next step S14, it is determined whether or not the equipment number has been input. That is, when the barcode is read by the barcode reader 352 and the wireless transceiver 336 receives the barcode information, the wireless transceiver 336 outputs the barcode information to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. Thus, the main control unit 338 determines that the equipment number has been input. When the bar code information is not output from the wireless transceiver 336, the main control unit 338 determines that there is no input of the equipment number. When the barcode is read by the barcode reader 352 and the equipment number is input, the main control unit 338 stores the equipment number in the storage device 334, and then the process proceeds to the next step S15. If the barcode reader 352 does not read the barcode and the equipment number is not input, step S14 is repeatedly executed. In other words, in step S14, the process waits until the equipment number is input.

  In the next step S15, the meter value input screen of the electromagnetic counter 116 in the current collection is displayed on the display device 308. That is, the main control unit 338 of the control device 332 outputs the meter value input screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332, and the display control unit 342 displays the screen shown in FIG. . In FIG. 13C, "Z00000001-F01-M01" displayed at the top indicates the equipment number input in step S14.

  In the next step S16, it is determined whether the meter value has been input on the screen shown in FIG. 13 (C). That is, when the numeric key 362 of the input device 310 is pressed, the meter value is input. When the correction key 370 is pressed in the process of inputting the meter value using the numeric keys 362, one character is deleted. When the input key 372 of the input device 310 is pressed, the input control unit 340 of the control device 332 determines an input value, and outputs numerical information corresponding to the input value to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. When numerical value information is output from the input control unit 340, the main control unit 338 determines that the meter value of this time is input. If it is determined that the meter value has been input, the process proceeds to the next step S17. When the meter value is not input, step S14 is repeatedly performed. In other words, in step S16, the process waits until the meter value is input.

  In the next step S17, it is determined whether to start coin counting. In the present embodiment, when a coin is placed on the coin counter 312, the coin counting signal is output from the coin counting machine 312 to the counting control unit 344 of the control device 332, and the counting control unit 344 determines the coin based on the counting signal. The coin counting information is output to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. When coin counting information is output from the counting control unit 344, the main control unit 338 determines that coin counting has been started. If it is determined that the counting has been started, the process proceeds to step S18. On the other hand, when the coin counting signal is not output from the coin counter 312 to the counting control unit 344 and the coin counting information is not output from the counting control unit 344, the main control unit 338 determines that coin counting has not started. Step S17 is repeatedly executed. In other words, it is in a standby state until it is determined that coin counting has been started.

  In the next step S18, coin counting is performed by the coin counter 312. During counting of coins, the main control unit 338 of the control device 332 outputs the coin counting in progress screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332 based on the coin counting information output from the counting control unit 344 of the control device 332. The display control unit 342 causes the display device 308 to display the screen illustrated in FIG.

  In the next step S19, the counting result of the coins counted by the coin counter 312 is displayed on the display device 308. That is, when the counting state (in other words, the count value) is stabilized at the time of counting the coins in step S18, the count control unit 344 of the control device 332 turns on the count determination button 316. When the count determination button 316 is pressed in this state, the count control unit 344 ends the counting of coins, and outputs coin counting information at that time to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. Then, the main control unit 338 outputs counting completion screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332 based on the coin counting information. The display control unit 342 displays a count completion screen including the count value on the display device 308, as shown in FIG. 14 (A). Further, the coin counting information is stored in the storage unit 334 in association with the machine number by the main control unit 338. The coin counting information includes at least the denomination and the number of coins to be counted.

  In the next step S20, either execution of coin recounting or determination of the count value is determined. That is, when the correction key 370 of the input device 310 is pressed in a state where the screen of FIG. 14A is displayed on the display device 308, the input control unit 340 of the control device 332 counts recounting information of the control device 332. The data is output to the main control unit 338, and the main control unit 338 determines that recounting is performed. In this case, after the main control unit 338 clears the coin counting information (in other words, the coin count value) stored in the storage device 334 in step S21, the process returns to step S18 and coin counting is executed again . On the other hand, in a state where the screen of FIG. 14A is displayed on the display device 308, when the count determination button 316 is pressed, the input control unit 340 of the main controller 332 sends count value determination information to the main control unit 338. The main control unit 338 determines that the count value has been determined. In this case, the main control unit 338 outputs the confirmation confirmation screen information to the display control unit 342, and the confirmation confirmation screen shown in FIG. 14B is displayed on the display device 308. In this state, when the count determination button 316 is pressed, the main control unit 338 outputs the count determination screen information to the display control unit 342, and the screen shown in FIG. Go to S22.

  In the next step S22, the main control unit 338 of the control device 332 associates the coin counting information stored in the storage device 334 with the equipment number, and outputs it to the recording medium reading / writing control unit 346 of the control device 332. Then, the coin counting information is associated with the machine number by the recording medium reading / writing control unit 346 and written to the portable recording medium 350.

  In the next step S23, it is determined whether the collection process is to be ended. That is, the main control unit 338 of the control device 332 outputs collection completion confirmation screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332, and the collection completion confirmation screen shown in FIG. 14 (D) is displayed on the display device 308. In this state, when the input key 372 of the input device 310 is pressed, the input control unit 340 of the control device 332 outputs collection end information to the main control unit 338. Then, the main control unit 338 determines that collection is finished, and returns to step S3 in FIG. On the other hand, when the reset key 368 of the input device 310 is pressed in a state where the collection completion confirmation screen shown in FIG. 14D is displayed on the display device 308, the input control unit 340 acquires collection continuation information as the main control unit 338 Output to Then, the main control unit 338 determines that collection is continued, and returns to step S13. In this case, steps S13 to S23 are executed again. Therefore, the collection process is executed for the game machines 10A to 10E having different machine numbers.

  Next, the equivalent exchange process performed in step S4 of FIG. 8 will be described. In the equivalent exchange, coins collected from the safe 108 of the game machines 10A to 10E described above are used as coins to be supplied to the coin storage container 221 of the change machine (in other words, exchange coins), By collecting the same amount (in other words, equivalent) of bills from the bill storage 217 of the change machine, it means that coins as sales money are exchanged for bills.

  In the first step S31 of the equivalent exchange process shown in FIG. 10, it is determined whether the portable recording medium 350 is loaded or not, as in step S11 of the collection process of FIG. That is, the recording medium read / write control unit 346 of the control device 332 detects whether or not the portable recording medium 350 is connected to the connection terminal 348. When the connection of the portable recording medium 350 is detected, the recording medium reading / writing control unit 346 outputs detection information to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. Thus, the main control unit 338 determines that the portable recording medium 350 is attached. When the detection information is not output from the recording medium reading / writing control unit 346, the main control unit 338 determines that the portable recording medium 350 is not attached. If it is determined in step S31 that the portable recording medium 350 is not loaded, the process returns to step S1 of FIG. 1, and the above-described initial menu of FIG. 13A is displayed on the display device 308.

That is, when the numeric key 362 of the input device 310 is pressed, the equipment number is input. When the input key 372 of the input device 310 is pressed, the input control unit 340 of the control device 332 determines an input value, and outputs numerical information corresponding to the input value to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. When numerical information is output from the input control unit 340, the main control unit 338 determines that the equipment number is input. If it is determined that the equipment number has been input, the main control unit 338 stores the equipment number in the storage device 334, and then the process proceeds to the next step S34. If the equipment number is not input, step S33 is repeatedly performed. In other words, in step S33, a standby state is established until the equipment number is input.

  In step S34, a screen for requesting an input of the coin replenishment number is displayed on the display device 308. That is, the main control unit 338 of the control device 332 outputs the coin supply number input screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332, and the display control unit 342 displays the coin supply number shown in FIG. An input screen is displayed. Among “R0000001” displayed at the top in FIG. 15B, “R” in the first character of the left means a change machine, and the number “0000001” indicates the machine number of the change machine.

  In the next step S35, it is determined whether or not the number of supplied coins is input on the screen of FIG. 15 (B). That is, when the number key 362 of the input device 310 is pressed, the number of supplied coins is input. When the input key 372 of the input device 310 is pressed, the input control unit 340 of the control device 332 determines an input value, and outputs numerical information corresponding to the input value to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. When the numerical control information is output from the input control unit 340, the main control unit 338 determines that the coin replenishment number has been input. If it is determined that the coin replenishment number has been input, the process proceeds to the next step S34. When the numerical information is not output from the input control unit 340, the main control unit 338 determines that the coin replenishment number has not been input, and step S33 is repeatedly executed. In other words, in step S33, a standby state is established until the coin replenishment number is input.

  In the next step S36, the coin replenishment number is displayed on the display device 308. That is, the main control unit 338 of the control device 332 outputs the coin replenishment number display screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332 based on the numerical information input in step S35, and the display control unit 342 Is displayed on the display device 308. Here, the denomination and number of the supply coin and the amount of the supply coin are displayed, and information for determining the number of the supply coin is displayed. Note that the amount of the supply coin is calculated by the main control unit 338 based on the denomination and the number of the supply coin.

  In the next step S37, it is determined whether or not to determine the coin replenishment number. That is, when the input key 372 of the input device 310 is pressed in a state where the screen of FIG. 15C is displayed, the input control unit 340 of the control device 332 outputs the determination information to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332.

The main control unit 338 which has received the determination information determines the coin replenishment number based on the numerical information input in step S35, and stores the determined coin replenishment number in the storage device 334 in association with the denomination of the replenishment coin. . Then, the process proceeds to the next step S36. On the other hand, when the reset key 368 of the input device 310 is pressed in a state where the screen of FIG. 15C is displayed, the input control unit 340 outputs reinput information to the main control unit 338. The main control unit 338 having received the re-input information determines that the coin replenishment number is not determined. In this case, the process returns to step S34, and by repeatedly executing steps S34 to S37, the re-input number of coin replenishment sheets is made.

  In the next step S38, the counting of supplied coins by the coin counter 312 is executed. That is, the 100 yen coin collected from the first coin storage bag 326 storing 100 yen coins is taken out and placed on the coin counter 312. Along with this, a coin counting signal is output from the coin counter 312 to the counting control unit 344 of the control device 332. The counting control unit 344 outputs coin counting information to the main control unit 338 of the control storage 332 based on the counting signal, and the main control unit 338 determines that coin counting has been started. During counting of the coins, the main control unit 338 outputs the coin counting screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332 based on the coin counting information, and the display control unit 342 displays the screen shown in FIG. It is displayed on the device 308.

  In the next step S39, the counting result of the coins counted by the coin counter 312 is displayed on the display device 308. That is, when the count state (in other words, the count value) becomes stable during the count in step S38, the count control unit 344 of the control device 332 turns on the count determination button 316. When the count determination button 316 is pressed in this state, the count control unit 344 ends the counting of coins, and outputs coin counting information at that time to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. Then, the main control unit 338 outputs counting completion confirmation screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332 based on the coin counting information. The display control unit 342 displays a count completion confirmation screen including the count value on the display device 308 as shown in FIG.

  In the next step S40, it is determined whether to end the coin counting. That is, when the input key 372 of the input device 310 is pressed in a state where the screen of FIG. 16A is displayed, the input control unit 340 of the control device 332 outputs end information to the main control unit 338 of the control device 332. Then, the main control unit 338 determines that the counting of the coins is finished. Then, after the main control unit 338 stores coin counting information (in other words, the counted value of replenished coins output from the coin counter 312) in the storage device 334, the process proceeds to the next step S41. On the other hand, when the reset key 368 of the input device 310 is pressed, the input control unit 340 outputs the counting continuation information to the main control unit 338, and the main control unit 338 determines that the coin counting is not completed. In this case, the process returns to step S38, and steps S38 to S40 are repeatedly executed. In other words, by repeatedly executing steps S38 to S40, the number of coins supplied on the coin counter 312 until the coin replenishment number input in step S35 matches the number of coins counted in step S38. The number is adjusted.

  In the next step S41, a screen for requesting an input of the number of collected bills in the equivalent exchange is displayed on the display device 308. That is, the main control unit 338 of the control device 332 outputs the collected banknote number input screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332, and the display control unit 342 displays the input screen of the recovered banknote shown in FIG.

That is, when the numeric key 362 of the input device 310 is pressed, the number of collected banknotes is input. The input control unit 340 of the control device 332 determines the input value when the input key 372 of the input device 310 is pressed, associates the numerical information corresponding to the input value with the denomination information, and performs main control of the control device 332 Output to the part 338. After the number of collected banknotes has been input for all denominations, when the input key 372 of the input device 310 is pressed, the input control unit 340 outputs input end information to the main control unit 338. When the input end information is output from the input control unit 340, the main control unit 338 determines that the number of collected banknotes is input. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S43. On the other hand, when the input end information is not output from the input control unit 340, the main control unit 338 determines that the number of collected banknotes is not input, and step S42 is repeatedly executed. In other words, in step S42, the standby state is established until the number of collected banknotes is input.

  In the next step S43, the number of collected banknotes is displayed on the display device 308. That is, the main control unit 338 of the control device 332 outputs the collected banknote number display screen information to the display control unit 342 of the control device 332 based on the numerical information input in step S42, and the display control unit 342 Is displayed on the display device 308. In this case, the total number of collected bills and the total amount of collected bills is displayed. The total amount of collected bills is calculated by the main control unit 338 based on the denomination and the number of collected bills.

Then, the process proceeds to step S45. On the other hand, when the reset key 368 of the input device 310 is pressed in a state where the screen of FIG. 16C is displayed, the input control unit 340 outputs the re-input information to the main control unit 338. The main control unit 338 having received the re-input information determines that the number of collected banknotes is not determined. In this case, the process returns to step S41, and steps S41 to S44 are executed again to re-input the number of collected banknotes.

  In the next step S45, the main control unit 338 of the control device 332 reads and writes the recording medium of the control device as equivalent exchange information in which the count value of the replenished coins stored in the storage device 334 and the number of recovered banknotes are associated with the machine number. It is output to the control unit 346. Then, the recording medium reading / writing control unit 346 writes the equivalent exchange information to the portable recording medium 350.
