<p>PURPOSE:To grasp sales data on respective branches at the head office at optional time by providing a data transmitting means which sends out total sale data of a totalizing means provided at the office of a pinball house to a telephone circuit. CONSTITUTION:When a player throws coins in one of ball lending machines on islands S1-Sn where a coin counter 11 is incorporated within the service time of a pinball house, the counter 11 outputs an electric signal corresponding to the number of the thrown-in coins and sends it to the totaling means 21 at the office 20. The means 21 totalizes the amount of money of balls which are lent on the basis of electric signals from counters 11 and holds data on it. A head office computer 40, on the other hand, sends a data transmission instruction through a telephone circuit 30 when sales data on each pinball house needs to be grasped. Consequently, the data held by the means 21 or specific data from a prize exchange device 13 is sent out to a data transmitting means 22 and sent to the computer 40 through the circuit 30.</p> |
