Is provided with a pair of engaging claws, and when the second connector is connected to the first connector, the engaging claws engage with the locking recesses to disconnect the first connector and the second connector in a connected state. There are things that are designed to combine imperfectly.

[0004]

In this conventional connector structure, once the second connector is connected to the first connector, the connection state between the two cannot be released. Therefore, the second connector may be removed to perform an illegal act. It is effective as a countermeasure against fraud, and has an advantage that the second connector can be prevented from accidentally coming off.

However, since the first connector is provided with the pair of engaging concave portions and the second connector is provided with the pair of engaging claws, the respective connectors are increased in size and are restricted in space. Has the drawback that it cannot be adopted. In addition, the second connector cannot be removed after the connection for inspection, so that it cannot be used in a place where the second connector needs to be attached and detached.

In view of the above conventional problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of preventing the second connector from accidentally falling off without increasing the size of the connector.

Since the connector fitting hole 53 for mating is provided and the regulating means 54 such as the claw portion 55 and the claw supporting portion 56 are provided on the step portion 52 side, the regulating means 54 is provided on the cover body 33 side.
Despite this, it is possible to easily prevent the main control board case 17 from becoming large. Since the restricting means 54 is on the opening side of the side wall portion 31 of the first connector 27, even when an external force is applied to the second connector 28 toward the opening side of the first connector 27 in the releasing direction, the claw support portion 56 is elastic. Second, unless deformed
It is possible to prevent the connector 28 from falling off.

When opening the main control board case 17,
The cutting part of the sealing means 36 is cut. Therefore, an opening trace remains on the cutting portion, and by comparing the trace with the inspection history of the recording paper or the like of the sticking unit 49, it can be easily determined whether the opening at that time is illegal. Further, since the entire main control board case 17 including the regulation means 54 is made of transparent synthetic resin through which the inside can be seen through, the main control board case 17 is opened so that no traces remain on the sealing means 36. Even if the internal electronic components 26 on the main control board 16 side and others are tampered with, if the tampering is outside both front and back surfaces of the main control board 16, the inside of the main control board case 17 is seen through from the outside.
