Yes. The front door 103 is provided with a game area 105 so that the reels 106L, 106C, and 106R of the reel unit can be visually recognized through the vertically long rectangular display windows 107L, 107C, and 107R. .

  Further, the front door 103 is provided with a pedestal portion 110, and various operation portions (BET button 111, start lever 112, stop buttons 113a to 113c, and medal insertion slot 114) that are operated when playing a game in this portion. , C / P button 115 and the like. The front door 103 is provided with a display area 120 adjacent to the game area 105 and having various display units displayed during the game.

  Further, below the front door 103, a tray 130 for storing medals acquired in the game and medals paid out from the game medium lending device 1 is disposed. In this case, the medals obtained in the game are paid out directly from the medal discharge port 121 provided below the front door 103, and the medals lent out from the game medium lending device 1 are passed through the nozzle chute 10 described in detail below. Is paid out. One end of this nozzle chute 10 is held by a holding part 7 formed in the housing 1a of the game medium lending device 1 so as to be rotatable along the horizontal direction, and the other end (discharge port) is positioned on the tray 130. It is done.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the nozzle chute 10 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3 to 6. In these drawings, FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a state in which the nozzle chute is rotated, FIG. 4 is a front view of the nozzle chute, FIG. 5 is a side view of the nozzle chute, and FIG. It is a top view in the state where a chute was turned to a saucer.

  The nozzle chute 10 is formed of, for example, a plastic material such as acrylic resin, and includes a chute body 11 through which medals flow. The chute body 11 of the present embodiment includes three regions when considering the state of flowing medals. Specifically, these areas include a sliding guide portion 11A that guides the medals discharged from the medal payout device 200 so as to slide downward in the forward direction, and medals that slide down by the sliding guide portion 11A. A drop guide unit 11B to be dropped, and a rolling guide unit 11C to raise a medal that falls by the drop guide unit 11B and to roll and guide it toward the tray 130.

11 A of said sliding guide parts are comprised as a cylinder of a cross-sectional substantially rectangular shape, The base end part is the rectangular shape formed in the front surface of the holding part 7 formed in the housing | casing 1a of the game media rental apparatus 1. FIG. The locking portion 11g formed in the base end portion is inserted into the opening 7a and locked at a predetermined position, and the bottom surface of the base end portion is pivotally supported by the support shaft 8, so that the arrow in FIG. As shown, it is held so as to be pivotable in the left-right direction. In this case, when the base end portion is supported in the holding portion 7, the rectangular opening 11 a formed in the base end portion is positioned at the discharge port 204 of the medal payout device 200 and, as described above, the discharge port 204. The medal to be paid out horizontally is guided into the chute body 11.

  Further, the sliding guide portion 11A is configured to extend obliquely downward on the front side when inserted into the holding portion 7, and allows the medals paid out from the medal payout device 200 to be moved downward in the forward direction. There is provided a sliding surface 11b that slides and guides toward it. That is, the medals paid out from the medal payout device 200 do not decrease the momentum at the time of payout, and slide down in the state as it is (the horizontal state in contact with the sliding surface 11b).

  The width of the sliding surface 11b in the sliding guide portion 11A may be set larger than the diameter of the medal so that the medals to be paid out slide down. The upper limit is preferably set smaller than the width of two medals. Further, the forward protrusion amount in the sliding guide portion 11A may be set in accordance with the position of the tray 130 provided in the slot machine, but the length can be adjusted in the axial direction by an extension mechanism as will be described later. It is preferable to configure as described above.

  Like the sliding guide portion 11A, the drop guide portion 11B is configured as a cylindrical body having a substantially rectangular cross section, and is continuously formed on the sliding guide portion 11A. In this case, the drop guide portion 11B is configured to extend downward and guide the medal vertically (may be substantially vertical) at the lower end of the slide guide portion having the slide surface 11b. The medal that slides down the inclined sliding guide portion 11A is dropped as it is without decreasing the momentum.

  The above-described sliding guide portion 11A and drop guide portion 11B are continuous as a cylindrical body, and a medal is formed at the boundary portion (between the slide guide portion and the drop guide portion) as shown in FIG. It is preferable to form a curved portion 13 that can gradually change its posture vertically. That is, by forming the curved portion 13 between the two guide portions, the medal that slides down vigorously at the sliding guide portion 11A falls smoothly along the curved portion 13 to the drop guide portion 11B. Thus, medals that are continuously paid out can be stably dropped onto the drop guide portion 11B without reducing the momentum. Of course, between the sliding guide part 11A and the drop guide part 11B, the curved part 13 may not be formed, and a configuration in which straight lines are simply crossed may be used.

  The rolling guide portion 11C includes a rolling surface 11c that guides the rolling medal in a standing state at the lower end of the dropping guide portion 11B, and the dropped medal is on the rolling surface 11c. In order to roll in the horizontal direction (in the direction of the saucer 130), it is formed so as to gradually descend toward the saucer 130.

  In this case, it is preferable that the rolling guide portion 11C is formed so that the drop area of the medal of the drop guide portion 11B is curved toward the tray direction. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, by forming a curved portion 15 that gradually goes in the direction of the saucer at the drop point in the drop guide portion 11C, the medal that is standing in the drop guide portion 11B is curved. While being guided along the portion 15, it can be guided to gradually move in the direction of the saucer and roll as it is. Accordingly, it is possible to make the payout to the tray lighter by using the momentum discharged from the hopper of the medal payout device (using the energy discharged from the hopper effectively). Of course, it does not matter that the rolling guide portion 11C is simply formed by a linear inclined surface without forming the curved portion 15 as described above.

  In addition, the rolling guide portion 11C may be configured with a cylindrical body as a whole to reach the tray 130 as in the case of the sliding guide portion 11A and the drop guide portion 11B described above. It is configured as follows.

  A pair of projecting pins 11d are formed on both side walls of the cylindrical portion of the rolling guide portion 11C, and a medal discharge guide 11e is pivotally supported by this portion. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7A to 7C, the medal discharge guide 11e is provided with a groove portion 11c ′ having a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens upward, and the groove portion 11c ′ is the rolling surface. It becomes a rolling surface which continues to 11c. A number of locking holes 11f are formed in the side wall of the medal discharge guide 11e so that the pair of protruding pins 11d are pivotally supported.

  That is, by configuring the tip region of the rolling guide portion 11C to be rotatable in this way, when opening and closing the front door 103 of the slot machine 100, the medal discharge guide 11e is rotated as indicated by an arrow in FIG. By doing so, the rolling guide portion 11C does not interfere with the front door 103, and workability such as maintenance can be improved.

  As described above, the rolling guide portion 11C is configured to roll the medals falling by the drop guide portion 11B as they are and discharge them onto the tray 130. May roll on the saucer and fall from the opposite end of the saucer.

  For this reason, the rolling guide portion 11C is provided with a rolling restraining means 20 that affects the medals that are guided to roll and prevents the medals discharged therefrom from rolling on the tray 130. Yes.

  The rolling restraining means of the present embodiment is provided in the tip region of the rolling guide portion 11C (the rotating medal discharge guide 11e described above). Specifically, the rolling restraining means 20 is configured by inclining the front end side of the medal discharge guide 11e with a predetermined angle (specifically, 45 °) with respect to the vertical direction X as shown in FIG. An inclined guide portion 11E is provided, and the inclined guide portion 11E is configured so that the rolling guide portion 11C can be tilted and ejected onto the tray 130 by tilting medals rolling in a vertical state. That is, the medals discharged onto the tray 130 are discharged by receiving an inclination change by the inclined guide portion 11E, and thus cannot be rolled on the tray 130, but roll across the tray. There is nothing.

  Note that the inclined guide portion 11E described above may be integrally formed in the tip region of the rolling guide portion 11C as long as the rotating medal discharge guide 11e is not provided. Further, the angle of the inclination guide portion 11E may be changed as appropriate according to the inclination angle of the rolling guide portion 11C.

  In the chute body 11 configured as described above, the above-described sliding guide portion 11A, drop guide portion 11B, and rolling guide portion 11C may be integrally formed of resin or the like, and a plurality of members may be divided. It may be configured in combination. For example, as described above, with respect to the rolling guide portion 11C, the medal discharge guide 11e formed with the inclined guide portion 11E as the rolling restraining means at the tip portion is formed as a separate body, and this is formed in the rolling guide portion 11C. You may comprise so that it can rotate with respect to it. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the intermediate portion of the sliding guide portion 11A is divided so as to be both inserted, and an expansion / contraction mechanism 25 capable of adjusting the insertion position is provided between them. Thus, the protruding length of the sliding guide portion 11A can be adjusted according to the configuration of the slot machine. In this case, with respect to the expansion / contraction mechanism 25, for example, a plurality of locking portions are formed such that a protrusion 25a is formed on one of the divided members and the protrusion 25a can be locked to the other member by adjusting the position. It is possible to configure by forming the unevenness 25c formed in the long hole 25b.

  The behavior of medals when paying out medals from the gaming medium lending device configured as described above will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

  The medal M paid out from the outlet 204 of the medal payout device 200 is paid out to the tray 130 of the slot machine 100 via the nozzle chute 10. At this time, the medal M is paid out in a horizontal state with a predetermined momentum by a medal discharge mechanism provided in the payout unit 202 of the medal payout device 200, and the slide guide portion of the chute main body 11 is directly passed through the opening 11a. 11A will guide you.

  The paid-out medals M do not decrease the moment of payout, and slide down downward as they are (the horizontal state where they are in contact with the sliding surface 11b). And at the lower end, it falls in a vertical state (substantially vertical state) toward the drop guide portion 11B. At this time, the medal that slides down vigorously at the sliding guide portion 11A by the curved portion 13 formed between the sliding guide portion 11A and the drop guide portion 11B smoothly falls along the curved portion 13. The medals that fall to 11B and are continuously paid out stably fall to the drop guide portion 11B without decreasing the momentum.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the medal M that has dropped from the drop guide portion 11B comes into contact with the rolling surface 11c of the rolling guide portion 11C at the lower end portion thereof, and stands toward this tray while standing at this portion. Is guided to roll. At this time, since the rolling guide portion 11C is formed with a curved portion 15 that gradually goes in the direction of the tray at the point of drop of the medal of the drop guide portion 11B, the momentum discharged from the medal payout device is used. Then, the medal that has been raised by the drop guide portion 11B rolls in the direction toward the saucer gradually along the curved portion 15, so that the energy at the time of discharge is effectively utilized, and a light payout to the saucer. Is realized.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the medal M that finally rolls in the rolling guide portion 11C has undergone a change in posture obliquely by the tilt guide portion 11E that is a rolling suppression means provided in the tip region. Then, since it is discharged, it does not roll and move on the tray 130 and does not fall from the tray.

  As described above, the medal M paid out from the medal payout device 200 does not reduce the momentum at the time of payout in the sliding guide portion 11A and the drop guide portion 11B, and in the rolling guide portion 11C, Since the momentum is maintained and the rolling guide is made toward the tray 130, a light payout can be realized on the tray 130. Further, the surface of the medal M slides only on the sliding surface 11b in the sliding guide portion 11A on the upstream side of the nozzle chute, and the other portions have few contact surfaces. It is possible to further reduce clogging.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified as appropriate. For example, although the above-described nozzle chute is configured in a cylindrical shape, an open portion or an opening hole may be partially formed. That is, by forming such an opening or opening, it becomes possible to easily remove a medal when it is jammed. Further, the nozzle chute is preferably made of a transparent material so that the state of the medal can be visually recognized, but may be made of an opaque material. Furthermore, the nozzle chute according to the present invention rolls to the rolling guide portion that rolls and guides the medal upright toward the tray of the slot machine, and to the rolling guide portion so that it does not roll on the tray when discharged. What is necessary is just to be provided with the movement suppression means, and it can change suitably about other parts. For example, the chute body may be configured not to be provided with the above-described sliding guide portion 11A or drop guide portion 11B.
