Description

  The present invention relates to prevention of fraud in a gaming machine such as a slot machine in which a front door is vertically divided into two.

Conventionally, when opening the front door during a game to replenish medals, the front door is divided into upper and lower parts and important parts are arranged so that important parts such as the control device do not touch the player's eyes. A slot machine has been devised in which only the lower door can be opened while the door is closed. In such a gaming machine, there is a problem that foreign matter such as a wire is easily inserted through a gap obtained by dividing the front door, and the game machine is weaker to a so-called goto action than a single-door gaming machine. Therefore, in order to solve such problems, a hidden part reaching the back side of the upper door side end of the lower door is provided at the lower door side end of the upper door, and the gap between the upper door and the lower door is provided. A slot machine that prevents foreign matter from being inserted has been devised (see Patent Document 1).
