DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game machine such as a pachinko machine, and more particularly to a cover for an integrated circuit for a game machine provided on a control board for controlling the game machine, and the cover provided with the cover. The present invention relates to a gaming machine equipped with a gaming machine integrated circuit.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pachinko machine, which is a kind of a game machine, has a game board provided on a surface thereof, and a special symbol display portion capable of displaying a plurality of symbols is provided in a game area where a game ball is hit on the game board. Have been. Then, when the game ball passes the predetermined game ball detection means in the game area, the symbol displayed on the special symbol display section starts to change, and after a predetermined time, the symbol is definitely displayed. Furthermore, when the symbol that is confirmed and displayed is a combination of specific symbols set in advance, that is, a “big hit symbol” (for example, “7, 7, 7”),
There is known a so-called symbol matching type in which a special gaming state advantageous to a player such as a big hit and a special winning state being repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times occurs.

In this conventional gaming machine, a control board for performing various controls including the control of occurrence of the special game state is provided on a rear surface. The control board is provided with an integrated circuit for performing various controls. A certain CPU (Central Processing Unit) and the CP
R is an integrated circuit storing a program to be executed by U
One provided with an OM (read only memory) is known. In recent years, a CPU, a ROM, and the like that are combined into one cover have been known. Since the control of the gaming machine is performed in accordance with the program stored in the ROM, the probability of a big hit or the like occurs at the probability stored in the ROM. Therefore, the game content of the gaming machine is determined by the content stored in the ROM.

In the development stage of a gaming machine, since the control program of the gaming machine is frequently changed, the above-mentioned ROM is not directly soldered to the control board.

The integrated circuit for gaming machines can be easily attached to and detached from the cover, and the engaging portion at the tip of the holding member engages with the upper surface of the package of the integrated circuit to hold the integrated circuit firmly, The integrated circuit can be prevented from falling off from the socket for the integrated circuit.

In the gaming machine according to the tenth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effects of the seventh aspect of the present invention, the terminal protecting member is substantially the same as or longer than the length of the terminal of the integrated circuit. Since it is composed of a substantially rectangular plate material having a longer width and extends in the arrangement direction of the terminals of the integrated circuit,
The terminal of the integrated circuit can be protected. Therefore, it is possible to prevent deformation and loss of the terminal of the integrated circuit due to a drop or the like.

In the gaming machine according to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effects of the invention according to any one of the seventh to tenth aspects, the cover of the integrated circuit for a gaming machine is provided at the lower end of the terminal protection member. The provided engaging portion firmly engages with the integrated circuit socket provided on the control board, thereby preventing the gaming machine integrated circuit from falling off the integrated circuit socket.

In the gaming machine according to the twelfth aspect of the present invention, in addition to the effects of the seventh aspect of the present invention, the terminal protection member is made of a transparent member. The state of the terminal of the integrated circuit can be observed, and whether or not the terminal of the integrated circuit has been inserted into the integrated circuit socket provided on the control board can be confirmed. Therefore, it is possible to easily find the failure of the terminal of the integrated circuit and the detachment from the socket for the integrated circuit.
