Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game facility including a game machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine, and more particularly to a structure for facilitating inspection of the back side of the game machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine, a game machine is controlled by a control device having a built-in computer.
It is well known that a computer stores programs related to game contents.

[0003]

However, since the ROM is fitted in the socket mounted on the control board, a small number of mindless people can read R in an amusement store such as a pachinko parlor.
There has been a fraudulent act of exchanging an OM for an illegally made ROM (illegal ROM). Regularly made normal R
When the OM and the illegal ROM are compared with each other, the shapes of characters indicating the serial number, the model, etc. on the surface of the ROM and the shapes of the electrodes protruding from the inside of the ROM to the outside are called subtly different. . Because of that,
The store clerk opens the game machine installed on the island of the game shop and performs normal RO
Although it is visually confirmed whether or not M is replaced with an unauthorized ROM, it is difficult to see the characters and electrodes of the ROM with the naked eye because the characters and electrodes of the ROM are small. For this reason, the store clerk enlarges the ROM inside the case of the control device with the convex lens in his hand to check whether it is an illegal ROM or not, but there is a problem that the confirmation work requires a lot of labor and time. there were.

Therefore, the present invention is to provide a game facility which allows an illegal act on the back side of a game machine to be easily found.

[0005]

According to the present invention, by providing a convex lens for enlarging the details of the game machine, a clerk can open the game machine installed on the island of the game shop and perform normal ROM.
When confirming whether or not it has been replaced with an illegal ROM, the details of the opened game machine are magnified with a convex lens, and the clerk can easily check the shape of the letters and electrodes of the ROM without holding the convex lens in his hand. be able to. Further, in the present invention, if a convex lens is provided in the control device of the game machine, R
The focal length of the convex lens with respect to the OM is shortened, and the aperture of the convex lens can be reduced.

1 to 3 show an embodiment, FIG. 1 shows an appearance of a convex lens 5 provided in a control device 1, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. FIG. 3 shows the appearance of the game facility with the movable frame 24 opened.

The gaming facility will be described with reference to FIG. As for the game facilities, the island 21 has a pachinko machine 22 as a game machine.
Is installed. The gaming machine frame of the pachinko machine 22 can be opened and closed laterally in the front side by a hinge 25 on a fixed frame 23 fixed to the island 21 such as a frame-shaped outer frame and a movable frame 24 called a frame-shaped front frame. Attachment, movable frame 24
The game board 26 is housed inside, the tank 27, the ball payout device 28, the control device 29 and the like are attached to the back side of the movable frame 24, the front decoration, the upper plate device, the lower plate device, and the handle grip on the front side of the movable frame 24. This is a form in which a ball launching operation mechanism, which is called, is assembled. The game board 26 is provided with a game nail, a winning device, a windmill, a side lamp, and the like in a game area inside which is surrounded by a guide rail on the front surface of the design board, and a control device 30 is provided on the back surface. The control device 29 of the movable frame 24 and the control device 30 of the game board 26 include the convex lens 5.

Then, the store clerk opens the movable frame 24 laterally to the front side so that the tank 27, the ball payout device 28, the control device 29, and the game board 26 provided on the movable frame 24 are opened.
The back side components such as the control device 30 provided on the island are visible from the front side of the island 21. In this state, the clerk enlarges the ROM 3 with the convex lens 5 and confirms whether the ROM 3 is replaced with an illegal ROM.

Referring to FIG. 1, the control device 29; 30 of FIG.
The control device 1 corresponding to will be described. The control device 1 stores a CPU 2 of a computer, a ROM 3, a RAM, electronic components necessary for the operation of the computer, a control board 7 on which a connector 4 and the like are mounted in a case 2 made of a transparent synthetic resin, and the case 2 It is a sealed form.

As shown in FIG. 2, the ROM 3 of the case 2
A convex lens 5 is provided in a portion corresponding to. Case 2
Since the transparent lens is made of transparent synthetic resin, the convex lens 5 has a form in which a part of the synthetic resin forming the case 2 is formed as the convex lens 5 and the focus is on the characters of the ROM 3 and the electrodes 3a. Is a combined form. Therefore, when the clerk looks at the inside of the control device 1 through the convex lens 5 from the outside of the control device 1, the convex lens 5
The characters of the ROM 3 and the shape of the electrode 3a enlarged by can be seen. Since the convex lens 5 is a form in which a part of the synthetic resin forming the case 2 is formed as the convex lens 5, the case 2 does not exist between the ROM 3 and the eyes of the clerk, and the transparency of the case 2 is attenuated. Without this, the clerk can more easily confirm the shape of the character of the ROM 3 and the shape of the electrode 3a through the convex lens 5. The ROM 3 has a form fitted in a socket 11 mounted on the control board 7.

According to the structure of this embodiment, the game machine is an island 2.
In the state of being installed in FIG. 1, when the store clerk opens the movable frame 24 to the front side in the lateral direction, the store clerk looks through the convex lens 5 and the enlarged characters of the ROM 3 and the shape of the electrode 3a. Since the shape of the electrodes and the electrodes 3a can be seen enlarged, the clerk can easily and clearly grasp whether the ROM 3 of the gaming machine is an illegal ROM without holding the convex lens by hand.

In the embodiment, the convex lens 5 is provided in the case 2, but if the convex lens 5 is provided inside or outside the case 2 or the convex lens 5 is attached to the case 2, the conventional case can be used as the case 2. You can Although the convex lens 5 is provided in the control device 1, the convex lens 5 may be provided in any of the movable frame 24 other than the control device 1 or a component attached to the game board 26, the movable frame 24, the fixed frame 23, or the island 21.
