Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a board box for closing an upper lid member so that the lower lid member cannot be opened and closed.

For example, control boards are mounted on recent gaming machines such as pachislot machines and pachinko machines.
On this control board, electronic components such as a ROM for controlling the gaming operation of the entire gaming machine are mounted.
Therefore, if this control board is illegally replaced or modified, a large number of medals and pachinko balls may be unfairly obtained, resulting in great damage.

In order to prevent such an inappropriate replacement of the control board, the control board is attached to the gaming machine while being sealed in the board box.
This board box is constituted by a lower lid member and an upper lid member in which a control board is accommodated.
The control board is accommodated in the lower lid member, the lid is covered with the upper lid member, and the lower lid member and the upper lid member are coupled together with the fastening pins so that they cannot be opened, thereby sealing the control board in the board box.

Once sealed, the substrate box must be destroyed at least partially in order to open it.
That is, it becomes impossible to work on the control board inside and to take out the control board outside the case without destroying the board box.
Therefore, it is possible to identify whether or not the control board has been tampered with by examining the presence or absence of traces of destruction of the board box.

By the way, the above-described board box is required to be opened for inspection and repair of the control board, and closed again after the inspection and repair.

Therefore, there is a board box that can be closed with a simple fastening operation by simply pushing the head of the fastening pin in a temporarily fixed state without using a special instrument. Once the fastening pin is unnecessarily inserted into the coupling part, that is, when it is mis-inserted, the number of coupling parts to be cut when the board box is opened increases and the coupling can be used at the time of re-coupling. The part will decrease.
A substrate box for preventing the fastening pin in the temporarily fixed state from being completely inserted into the coupling portion by mistake is described in the following patent publication.
