  By the way, in gaming machines as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, there are gaming machines having wooden bodies and others (made of metal, resin, etc.). In the case of wooden, although there are many advantages in terms of processing, there are cases where it is not suitable for reuse because it may be damaged by driving in a nail or the like when it is installed or removed from the amusement island equipment. On the other hand, in the case of metal or resin, it is difficult to cause breakage as in the case of wood, and the original state can be maintained for a long time. When trying to fix the nozzle part to the back surface, there are the following disadvantageous surfaces.

  In other words, the fixing means for fixing the nozzle portion of the automatic replenishing machine to the back is basically using a wood screw that is fixed to the wooden gaming machine main body. Since it is very difficult to fix the nozzle portion to the back surface of the main body using the wood screw, another structure that can be easily attached is desired.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a gaming medium supply machine for replenishing gaming media such as game medals, at least on the back, with a gaming machine main body having at least a metal or a resin on the back. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that is configured to obtain the above and solves the above-described problems.

The symbol is automatically determined and displayed on the hand display unit (not shown) and the self display unit (not shown) of the image display unit 14. In addition, the images of the front and back jars are displayed on an unillustrated front and back display section of the image display section 14, and the big combination and chance combination are displayed in the big game rising combination display section (see FIG. And a chance game winning combination display section (not shown). Then, the player is notified by screen display or voice that the game start conditions are satisfied.

  In this state, the player performs an operation of selecting a discarded basket from the symbols of the basket displayed on the hand display section and the self-display section. When the player determines the symbol of the bag to be discarded, the player selects (turns on) one of the discard button 16... Then, one game ball is sent to the game ball launch position, and the game ball can be launched into the game board surface 2 by operating the game ball launch lever 4.

  When the player fires a game ball and this game ball enters any of the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,... Displayed on the display. If the player does not end the game by self-determination, the player performs a throw-away operation to throw away one of the 14 traps that seems unnecessary. Then, the player sequentially executes such operations, and at the time when it is determined that the desired rising role has been heard (tempered), the reach button 18 is operated to reach or not reach. Continue the operation of raising the ball until the number of game balls that can be launched in one game is exhausted.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the sparrow ball game machine 1 has the slide guide members 32 and 33 with which the fixed plate portion 88 is engaged and the removal of the fixed plate portion 88 from the slide guide members 32 and 33.
