The lock member 100 inserted across the 43 and locked at the lock position of the insertion end is configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment. In addition, since other configurations are configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment, description thereof will be omitted.

Accordingly, also in the third embodiment, the cover member 703 can be easily formed by a very simple operation of pushing the lock member 100 to the insertion end of the insertion hole 843 of the connecting portion 833 in the same manner as in the first embodiment. It can be locked quickly and securely. Further, since the force in the cover body 703 opening direction does not act in the direction in which the lock member 100 is pulled out from the insertion holes 843, 943 of the connecting portions 833, 933, the cover body 703 is forcibly opened to the box body 623. Even if it is attempted, the cover 703 is kept in the locked state, and the accidental opening of the cover 703 is eliminated.

In the first to third embodiments,
Although the case where the gaming machine is a pachinko machine has been illustrated, a gaming machine such as a throttle machine other than the pachinko machine may be employed. Further, in the first to third embodiments, the case where the control board is stored in the storage box is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to the control board. Further, in the first to third embodiments, the case where the lock member 100 is formed in the shape of a clip by a flat spring plate material has been exemplified.
0 may be formed.
