Description

  The present invention relates to a swivel-type gaming machine generally referred to as a pachislot machine, and more particularly to a swivel-type gaming machine excellent in safety that exhibits high security against unauthorized modification.

  In recent years, not only pachinko machines but also pachinko machines called pachislot machines have been actively used in conventional pachinko halls and pachislot halls. In these gaming machines, the winning probability is governed by the information in the ROM mounted on the control main board. For this reason, ensuring the security for the main board for control is a serious technical issue regardless of the model.

  That is, in this type of gaming machine, it is necessary to frequently open the front door for releasing the stop, replenishing medals, eliminating clogged medals, cleaning the drum portion, etc., and in order to avoid the complexity of the operation, Is easy to open with a key. Each time the front door is opened, the inside of the device is opened, and the control main board or the like in the device is exposed to the public. For these reasons, illegal actions such as remodeling of the main board for control (replacement of ROM, etc.) are continually taking place, and various measures are taken to cope with this.

  A typical measure for preventing unauthorized modification of the control main board is an improvement of a board mounting apparatus including a board case that encloses the main board (see Patent Document 1, etc.). A substrate mounting apparatus including a substrate case is usually made of a transparent resin in order to easily find unauthorized modification of the main substrate in the case.

JP 2001-170255 A

  Improvement of the board mounting device including the board case is effective, but no matter how much the board mounting device is improved, it is necessary to perform the routine work such as cleaning the drum, replenishing medals, eliminating clogged medals, and releasing the stoppage. Since the door is opened and the board mounting apparatus and the main board in the board case are exposed to the human eye each time, improvement of the board mounting apparatus is not a drastic measure. Rather, it is effective to come up with new countermeasures from a viewpoint different from the improvement of the substrate mounting apparatus, and to combine the anti-got measures several times.

  The object of the present invention is to greatly increase the degree of security for the main board and the like in the housing without degrading the maintainability in daily work by devising the machine structure of the gaming machine, particularly the housing and the front door structure. An object of the present invention is to provide a swivel type gaming machine that can be enhanced and has both high safety and maintainability.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the spinning type gaming machine of the present invention is a spinning type gaming machine that performs a symbol variation display game in which a plurality of symbols are varied. A housing having a shelf-like partition inside to form a sub-chamber isolated from the lower main chamber in the upper stage portion of the internal device such as a control unit and a control unit; A subdoor with a key that can be opened and closed on the upper front side of the housing to open and close the front opening of the subchamber, and that locks the subchamber together with the partition plate in the closed state, and at least the front opening of the main chamber A keyed main door that is attached to the front side of the housing to open and close the part, opens and closes independently from the secondary door, and also serves as a protective member for the secondary door that prevents the secondary door from being closed in the closed state. It has.

  In the swivel type gaming machine of the present invention, a sub chamber independent of the lower main chamber is formed in the upper part of the housing. The sub chamber is separated from the lower main chamber by a shelf-like partition plate, and the front opening is opened and closed by a sub door independent from the main door of the main chamber. The sub-door is locked with a key and doubled by the closed main door. For these reasons, the secondary room becomes a highly secure safety box that is independent of the main room.

  The degree of security against unauthorized modification is improved by accommodating parts of the internal equipment of the gaming machine that have a high risk of unauthorized modification in this sub-chamber. The component having a high risk of being tampered with is typically a main board in the control unit, and preferably includes a sub board in the control unit and a power supply unit. The main board is not only replaced with a ROM but also an illegal setting change. Since unauthorized setting changes are made with the power off, it is recommended that the power supply is also housed in the sub-chamber. Further, although the sub-board does not affect the main board, the internal lottery result signal is received from the main board for the purpose of production, so that the data may be illegally read due to unauthorized modification. For these reasons, it is recommended that the power supply unit and the sub-board be accommodated in the sub-chamber.

  On the other hand, the drum portion of the internal equipment rotates daily, so it needs to be maintained on a daily basis. On the other hand, daily troubles such as clogged medals occur in the payout unit and the operation unit. Depending on the model, it is necessary to replenish medals to the payout unit. It is recommended that parts such as the drum part and the payout part are accommodated in the main room under the sub room. Since the main room is opened and closed only by the main door on the front, if the drum part and the payout part are accommodated in the main room, daily work such as cleaning of the drum part, replenishment of medals, elimination of clogging of medals, release of stoppage, etc. The inside of the machine can be opened simply by opening and closing a single door with a key, as in the case of a conventional swivel game machine.

  Even if the main room is opened, the sub-chamber is not visible from the main room and the sub-door remains locked because of the shelf-like partition plate. Will continue to be enclosed in the room and will not be visible to the public. In other words, the main board, which is the most important component for preventing goto, is kept isolated and enclosed in the sub-chamber regardless of the opening and closing of the door during daily operations. Therefore, the security level of the main board accommodated in the sub chamber is very high.

  When opening the sub-chamber, first open the main door, then open the sub-door. That is, the sub chamber cannot be opened unless the main chamber is opened. Moreover, it is necessary to cancel | release locking, when opening any door. Since the frequency of opening the sub-chamber is very low, it is not a problem that the operation is troublesome. Rather, that time-consuming role plays a major role in ensuring security. When the security level of the entire front door is increased, it takes time to open the machine for daily work such as removal of clogged medals, cleaning, and replenishment of medals, resulting in poor maintainability. It is the present invention that increases the degree of security against unauthorized modification without degrading maintainability.

  As the structure of the main door that opens and closes the front opening of the main room and the sub door that opens and closes the front opening of the sub chamber, the following two are typical. First, the main door is a lower door that is positioned on the lower side of the sub door to open and close the front opening of the main room, and is attached to the front side of the housing. The front door is a lock member combined door that prevents the upper door from being opened by locking the lower edge of the upper door in the closed state with the upper edge in the closed state, the main door is the lower door, The sub-door has an upper door structure.

  Second, the main door is a front door that opens and closes the front opening of the housing, and the outer door that prevents the inner door from being opened by shielding the subdoor, which is also the inner door in the closed state, from the outside. The main door has an outer door and the sub-door has an inner door. In any door structure, the sub-door is locked with a key and double-locked by the closed main door, so that the sub-room becomes a highly secure safety box independent from the main room.

  When the main door is the lower door and the sub-door is the upper door, the upper door that opens and closes the front opening of the sub-chamber is preferably provided with a keyhole in a portion that is hidden by the lower door when the lower door is closed. Thereby, the security degree of the sub-chamber and the components accommodated in the chamber is further improved. In addition, operation units such as a medal insertion unit, a start switch, and a stop switch are preferably provided on a lower door that can be easily opened and closed. By opening the lower door, the back side of the operation unit appears, and operations on the operation unit such as a medal clogging elimination operation are facilitated.

  In any of the door structures, it is desired that the key of the sub door is a dedicated key of a different type from the key of the main door that is opened and closed on a daily basis. This also improves the degree of security of the sub-chamber and the components housed in the sub-chamber.

  The rotary type gaming machine of the present invention is separated from the lower main chamber by a partition plate, and the front opening is opened and closed by a sub door independent of the main door that opens and closes the front opening of the main chamber. Since the sub-chamber where the door is double-protected by the lock and the main door is formed as a safety box at the top of the housing, there are parts that must be protected in the safety box in order to prevent the internal equipment By accommodating this, the security level of the component can be remarkably increased. In addition, the lower main chamber can be opened and closed easily like conventional game machines, so that the drum section and payout section that require daily work can be housed here to clean the drum section, replenish medals, and stop. Daily tasks such as release can be handled quickly as usual.

  In other words, the swivel-type gaming machine of the present invention has an inherent two-chamber / two-door structure, which prevents illegal acts without deteriorating maintainability for daily troubles such as clogging medals, cleaning, and medal replenishment work. The security level can be increased.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The inner door 60, which is a sub-door, is located on the back side of the flat display device 52 provided at the uppermost part of the outer door 50, and the left side edge of the housing 10 is hinged as with the outer door 50. The opening and closing operation is performed. A key hole 61 is provided on the side edge of the inner door 60 on the side opposite to the hinge. The key for locking the inner door 60 is different from the key for locking the outer door 50. That is, the outer door 50 and the inner door 60 are each locked with a dedicated key.

  The main board 41 disposed in the sub chamber 13 in the housing 10 is also electrically connected to the sub board 42 in the sub chamber 13 by a harness. The control signal is transmitted only from the main board 41 to the sub board 42, and signal transmission in the reverse direction is not performed. The sub-board 42 is electrically connected to a light-emitting display device or the like in the flat display device 22 that controls production, the illumination unit 59, the operation unit 57, the drum unit 44, and the like, and gives control signals thereto. The main board 41 in the sub chamber 13 is further electrically connected to the operation unit 57 in the outer door 50, the driving device of the drum unit 44 in the main chamber 14, and the dispensing device 45 by a harness. Receives an operation signal, exchanges a control signal with the drum unit 44 to control the rotation of the reel, and outputs a payout signal to the payout device 45.

  The above is the structural description of the swivel type gaming machine of the second embodiment. Next, the function of the same cylinder type gaming machine will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 5 shows a state in which the outer door 50 (main door) and the inner inner door 60 (sub-door), which are front doors of the spinning cylinder type game machine, are both closed. The inner door 60 is fixed to the housing 10 by locking, and closes the front opening of the sub chamber 13 in the housing 10. Further, the outer door 50 is fixed to the housing 10 by locking and closes the entire front opening in the housing 10, whereby the inner door 60 is also covered by the outer door 50. Therefore, even if the locking of the inner door 60 is forgotten, there is no problem unless the outer door 50 is opened. That is, the inner door 60 is double protected by the locking and the outer door 50. The spinning machine is used in this state.

  The store clerk in the hall possesses only the key of the outer door 50. When the drum portion 44 in the main chamber 14 is cleaned, or when a medal is replenished to the payout device 45 in the main chamber 14, or when a medal clogging occurs in the operation device 57 of the payout device 45 or the outer door 50 The key is inserted into the key hole 58 of the outer door 50 to release the locked state. Thereby, the outer door 50 opens. FIG. 2 shows a state where the outer door 50 is opened. In this state, it is possible to clean the drum portion 44 and replenish medals to the payout device 45. In addition, since the back side of the outer door 50 is exposed, the clogging of medals in the operation unit 57 can be eliminated. In other words, all daily tasks can be performed simply by opening the outer door 50.

  Even if the outer door 50 is opened, the inner door 60 remains closed, so the sub chamber 13 is sealed. This is because the sub chamber 13 is isolated by the upper portion of the main body 11 and the partition plate 12 except for the front opening, and the front opening is closed by the inner door 60. For this reason, the sub chamber 13 becomes a safety box with a high degree of security, and the main board 41, the sub board 42, and the power supply unit 43 accommodated in the room cannot be seen or touched even when the main chamber 14 is opened. For this reason, the security degree of these important parts is remarkably improved.

  When changing the setting, inspecting the substrate, etc., it is necessary to open the sub chamber 13. In that case, first, the key for the inner door 60 is deposited from the person in charge, the outer door 50 is opened with the key that is always held, and then the inner door 60 is unlocked with the dedicated key. Thereby, the inner door 60 is opened, the sub chamber 13 is opened, and the main substrate 41, the sub substrate 42, and the power supply unit 43 in the sub chamber 13 can be visually observed and handled. Since the frequency of opening the sub chamber 13 is low, and usually only the main chamber 12 is opened, the frequency of exposure of important parts in the sub chamber 13 to the human eye is drastically reduced.

  By the way, with the conventional swivel-type game machine, it is necessary to open the front door frequently for daily operation and maintenance, and important parts are exposed to the human eye each time, so important parts are protected by the case alone It must be done, and the security level was not high.
