Further, a right side wall 34 is integrally provided at the right end of the movable bottom 31b, and one end of the right side wall 34 is connected to the movable front wall 32b to have a substantially L shape. Further, the other end side of the right side wall 34 extends to the rear end of the movable bottom 31b, and forms a dispensing passage 23a together with the movable bottom 31b.

  A hopper device 37 is disposed in the slot machine main body 12 at a position behind the tray 22. The hopper device 37 includes a storage tank 38 and a medal payout unit 39. The storage tank 38 stores a large number of medals and supplies the medals to a medal payout unit 39 provided below the medals. The medal payout unit 39 is controlled by the control device and discharges the medals 41 corresponding to the payout number one by one from the opening 39a. The opening 39a is arranged above the side of the payout passage 23a. In this way, the opening 39a is provided on the side of the payout passage 23b considerably more than the payout opening 23, and compared with the case where the opening is provided in a linear position from the payout outlet 23, It is possible to make it difficult to perform the goto action on the hopper device 37.

  The payout passage 23a is elongated rearward, and the medal 41 from the opening 39a is discharged into the payout passage 23a even when the movable dish portion 27 is pulled out from the storage position to the discharge position as will be described later. The medal 41 discharged into the payout passage 23a flows down toward the payout port 23 due to the inclination attached to the payout passage 23a, and flows into the tray 22 from the payout port 23.

  The right side wall 34 is provided with two guide grooves 34 a extending in a direction parallel to the pulling direction of the movable dish portion 27. A guide pin 42 is engaged with each guide groove 34a. Thereby, the movable dish part 27 is attached movably between the storage position shown in FIG. 2 and the discharge position shown in FIG. The movable tray part 27 is moved between the storage position and the discharge position by manually moving the movable dish part 27 in the front-rear direction. However, the movable dish part 27 may be moved by the driving force of the motor in response to the operation of the switch. .

  When the movable dish portion 27 is in the storage position, the movable front wall 32b is integrated with the fixed front wall 32a, that is, the movable front wall 32b is a part of the front wall 32, and the medal 41 is stored in the tray 22 Become. At this storage position, the medal 41 flowing into the tray 22 from the payout opening 23 is also stored.

  The movable bottom 31 b, the movable front wall 32 b, and the right side wall 34 are drawn forward from the fixed dish 26 by the movement of the movable dish 27 from the storage position to the discharge position. By the movement of the movable tray part 27, a discharge passage 45 is formed in which the bottom surface of the tray 22 is partially extended forward and the medal 41 is guided and discharged forward of the tray 22.

  The discharge passage 45 has an opening formed in the movable front wall 32b of the front wall 32 at the inlet 46 of the medal 41, and an opening formed between the ends of the fixed front wall 32a and the movable front wall 32b. It becomes the outflow port 47. The discharge passage 45 discharges the medal 41 flowing in from the inflow port 46 to the outside of the tray 22 from the outflow port 47 through the extended portion of the movable bottom 31b. Since the movable front wall 32b and the right side wall 34 are pulled out integrally, the discharge passage 45 has a shape bent in a substantially L shape toward the left, that is, toward the center of the tray 22, and thus the medal 41 Guide to discharge.

  As the medals 41 discharged through the discharge passage 45, there are medals 41 newly paid out from the payout opening 23 in addition to the medals 41 stored in the tray 22. The discharge passage 45 is formed on an extension line in the inflow direction (forward direction) of the medal 41 flowing into the tray 22 from the payout opening 23 by forming the movable tray portion 27 forward as described above. This makes it easy for the medal 41 paid out from the payout opening 23 to flow into the discharge passage 45.

  The space on the movable bottom 31 b from the payout port 23 to the inflow port 46 becomes the passage passage 50 when the medal 41 flows down toward the discharge passage 45. The passage 50 has a movable bottom 31b that is the bottom surface thereof. For this reason, in combination with the formation of the discharge passage 45 on the extension line in the inflow direction of the medal 41 flowing in from the payout port 23, the medal 41 paid out from the payout port 23 is naturally discharged. Can be allowed to flow into. Further, since the discharge passage 45 having the movable bottom 31b as a bottom surface is also inclined, the medal 41 flowing into the discharge passage 45 can be easily discharged from the outlet 47.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the shutter plate (shutter member) 28 has a partition position pulled forward from the back wall 35 and a release position housed in a bag of the back wall 35 as shown in FIGS. It can move freely between. The shutter plate 28 is provided with a knob 28a. The shutter plate 28 can be set to the partition position by picking and pulling the knob 28a.

  By setting the shutter plate 28 to the partition position, the storage space is partitioned into a holding space 51 for storing the medal 41 and a passage 50 for passing the medal 41 from the payout port 23 through the discharge passage 45. . The shutter plate 28 prevents the medal 41 from flowing in and out between the passage 50 and the holding space 51.

  When the movable platen portion 27 is set to the discharge position and the shutter plate 28 is set to the partition position, the medal 41 newly paid out from the payout opening 23 is maintained while the appropriate number of medals 41 are stored in the holding space 51. It is guided to the discharge passage 45 through the passage passage 50.

  When the shutter plate 28 is in the release position, the storage space is not partitioned into the passage passage 50 and the holding space 51. Thereby, the state which stored the medal 41 similarly to the saucer 22 until now is maintained. Further, when the movable platen portion 27 is set to the discharge position and the shutter plate 28 is set to the release position, the medal 41 that has been stored until then is guided while discharging the medal 41 from the payout opening 23 to the discharge passage 45. It is allowed to move to the discharge passage 45 and discharge.

  Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. When starting the game, the player of the slot machine 11 keeps the movable tray portion 27 of the tray 22 in the storage position and the shutter plate 28 in the release position, as shown in FIG. Then, the medal lending device is rented from the medal lending device, and the medal 41 is moved to the tray 22 and stored.

  When the medal 41 stored in the tray 22 is inserted into the medal insertion slot 19 and the start lever 20 is operated, the game is started. When the game is started, the first to third reels 15a to 15c start to rotate at the same time, and a winning combination lottery is performed. As a result of the winning combination lottery, the winning combination (internal winning) is performed, and further, the first to third reels 15a to 15c are stopped at positions for winning the winning combination by operating the stop buttons 21a to 21c. Winning a prize.

  When winning as described above, the hopper device 37 is operated and the number of medals 41 corresponding to the winning combination won from the opening 39a is discharged into the payout passage 23a. The medal 41 discharged into the payout passage 23a moves forward by the inclination of the payout passage 23a, is paid out from the payout outlet 23, and is stored in the tray 22.

  When moving the medal 41 to the storage box, such as when a large number of medals 41 are paid out and the tray 22 is full or when moving to another slot machine 11, the player first moves the movable tray part 27. The registering position of the medal 41 when it is set as the discharging position is registered, and after placing the storage box at that position, the movable tray part 27 is pulled forward to be the discharging position. In addition, it is also preferable to provide a member for guiding an appropriate storage box position or to mark the mark.

  Due to the movement of the movable tray part 27 to the discharge position, a discharge passage 45 bent in a substantially L shape toward the center of the tray 22 is formed in the front portion of the tray 22. The discharge passage 45 is connected to the inside of the tray 22, that is, the storage space through an inlet 46 formed at a position where the movable front wall 32 b has been located so far.

  By forming the discharge passage 45 as described above, the medal 41 that has been stored in the tray 22 until then flows into the inlet 46, and the medal 41 is discharged from the outlet 47 through the discharge passage 45 to the storage box. Can be moved. Further, the medal 41 newly paid out from the payout port 23 in this state can be similarly discharged from the outflow port 47 through the discharge passage 45 and transferred to the storage box.

  When the medal 41 newly paid out from the payout port 23 is moved to the storage box while a certain amount of medals 41 are stored in the tray 22, the shutter plate 28 is pulled out in a state where the movable tray portion 27 is in the discharge position. Position. As a result, the storage space of the tray 22 is partitioned into a passage 50 and a holding space 51. Then, without allowing the medal 41 in the holding space 51 to flow into the discharge passage 45, only the medal 41 that has been in the passage passage 50 and the medal 41 to be paid out thereafter flow into the discharge passage 45 and move to the storage box. can do.

  As described above, when the shutter plate 28 is in the partitioning position with the movable platen portion 27 in the discharge position, if the medal 41 stored in the passage 50 is discharged, it is paid out from the payout opening 23. The medal 41 is naturally flown into the discharge passage 45 by the inclination of the movable bottom 31b, and moves from the outlet 47 to the storage box. Thereby, the player can sequentially move the medals 41 to be paid out to the storage box without particularly performing an operation for discharging the medals 41.

  As described above, the player can easily move the medal 41 in the tray 22 or the medal 41 paid out from the payout opening 23 to the storage box through the discharge passage 45. Further, since the storage box is placed on the lower front side of the tray 22, the storage box is not hidden by the tray 22. For this reason, it can be easily confirmed how much the medal 41 has moved to the storage box. Furthermore, if the shutter plate 28 is set at the partition position, the medal 41 can be discharged while leaving an appropriate number of medals 41 in the tray 22, which is convenient.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a guide member 55 is provided on the discharge path of the medal 41 from the opening 39a to the payout passage 23b, and the medal 41 discharged from the opening 39a provided on the side portion of the hopper device 37 is guided to the guide member. The direction of the medal 41 may be changed forward by hitting it to 55. The guide member 55 in this example is a plate-like member having elasticity in order to absorb or relieve the impact at the time of collision with the medal 41, but the collision surface 55a (surface facing the opening 39a) with the medal 41 ) May be provided with a shock absorbing material.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, a receiving portion 56 having an L-shaped cross section is provided at the lower portion of the fixed plate portion 26 as a member for guiding the set position of the storage box. As shown in FIG. 6, the receiving portion 56 has a flange 57 a formed on the storage box 57 so that the storage box 57 can be set at a position suitable for discharging the medal 41, and the discharging operation can be further performed. It can be done easily. When the medal 41 is discharged, the flange 57a is placed on the receiving portion 56, the storage box 57 is positioned and set with respect to the receiving tray 22, and then the movable tray portion 27 is pulled forward to be the discharging position.

  In the said embodiment, although the movable dish part was provided in one edge part of the saucer, the position of a movable dish part is not limited to this. In the example shown in FIG. 7, a movable dish 61 is provided at the center of the tray 22, and fixed dishes 62 are provided on both sides of the movable dish 61. The movable tray 61 extends the bottom of the tray 22 in front of the discharge outlet 63 and simultaneously moves the movable front wall 61a forward to form a discharge passage 64 in the center front of the tray 22. The discharge passage 64 discharges medals from the left and right sides.

  In the above example, since the central portion of the tray 22 is the passage passage 65, the shutter plates 67 at the partition positions may be arranged on both sides of the passage passage 65 as indicated by a two-dot chain line. Thereby, the storage space is partitioned by the shutter plates 67 into a passage passage 65 and a pair of holding spaces 66 on both sides thereof. Note that the shutter plate 67 may be disposed only on one side of the passage passage 65, and the holding space 66 may be partitioned on one of the right side and the left side of the passage passage 65.

  Moreover, in each said embodiment, although the bottom face itself of the saucer is moved and extended, extending | stretching of the bottom face for formation of a discharge passage is not limited to the movement of the bottom face of a saucer. For example, FIG. 8 shows an example in which the bottom plate of the discharge passage is stored below the tray. In this example, the movable dish portion 80 includes a stretching member 81 that serves as a bottom plate of the discharge passage, and a movable front wall 82 that is integrally provided at the front end of the stretching member 81. When the movable platen 80 is in the storage position, as shown in FIG. 8A, the extending member 81 is stored below the bottom plate 22a, and when in the discharge position, the extending member 81 is moved as shown in FIG. The bottom plate 22a is pulled forward from the lower side, and the bottom surface of the tray 22 is extended forward.

  In each of the above embodiments, in order to allow the medal to flow down toward the discharge passage and to be discharged naturally through the discharge passage, an inclination is given to the entire passage and discharge passage. In addition, a part of the discharge passage may be inclined.
