A dial push type operation switch for a gaming machine that is mounted on a gaming machine and that can be rotated and pressed according to a gaming state including a standby state in the gaming machine,
An operation means including a central axis formed in an axial shape or a cylindrical shape, and capable of rotating around the central axis and moving in the direction of the central axis by an artificial operation;
A cylindrical portion or a shaft-like portion for holding the central shaft rotatably is formed, and has a rotation detecting means for detecting the rotation of the central shaft, and is unable to rotate around the central axis. And the holding body arranged in a movable form in the central axis direction based on the moving operation of the operating means,
At least the central axis of the operating means and the holding body are accommodated, and a movement detecting means for detecting movement of the central axis is included therein, the rotation around the central axis is not possible, and the direction of the central axis A case body fixed to the gaming machine in an immovable form, and
By rotating the operating means around the central axis, the central axis of the operating means rotates while being held by the holding body, while the rotation of the central axis is detected by the rotation detecting means,
By operating the operating means to move in the direction of the central axis, the central axis of the operating means and the holding body move integrally in the direction of the central axis inside the case body, and the movement of the central axis Is detected by the movement detecting means. In order to hold the central axis, the holding body has a radial load accompanying rotation of the operating means around the central axis, and an axial load accompanying movement of the operating means and the holding body in the central axis direction. The operation switch for gaming machines according to claim 1, wherein a rolling bearing having a load capacity is provided . The rotation detection means is mounted on a holder wiring board fixed to the holder,
Wherein the operating means or the member which rotates integrally, gaming machine control switch according rotated to claim 1 or 2 detected portion is protruded to the center axis direction is rotation detection by the rotation detecting means. The holding body wiring board is a light emitting board on which a light emitting means for irradiating the operation means is mounted,
Between the operation means and the light emitting substrate, there is disposed a diffusive transmission member that rotates integrally with the operation means in order to diffuse and transmit the light from the light emission means to reach the operation means . Item 4. An operation switch for a gaming machine according to Item 3. The light emitting means is annularly arranged along a circumferential direction in a form in which a plurality of light emitters surround the central axis.
The rotation detection means is constituted by a photosensor that optically detects passage of the rotation detected part accompanying rotation of the diffuse transmission member ,
The photo sensor and between the plurality of light emitters, operation switch for a game machine according to claim 4, the light shielding wall surrounding said central axis in an annular and continuously are arranged. The movement detection means is mounted on a case body wiring board fixed to the case body,
The game according to any one of claims 3 to 5, wherein a movement detected portion that is detected by the movement detection means is formed in the central axis direction on the holding body or a member integrally fixed thereto. Machine operation switch. The case body or a member integrally fixed to the case body accommodates the deflection generated in the wiring connecting the holding body wiring board and the case body wiring board as the holding body moves in the central axis direction. The operation switch for gaming machines according to claim 6 , wherein a wiring accommodating portion for the above is formed. Between the center axis of said operating means and said holding body, any one of from the sound generating mechanism resulting in intermittent or continuous sound with rotation of said operating means claims 1 is located 7 The operation switch for gaming machines described in 1. The sound generating mechanism is configured such that when the central shaft or a member that rotates integrally therewith is a rotating moving body, and the holding body or a member that is integrally fixed thereto is a non-rotating moving body, the rotating moving body and the non-rotating moving body Including a plurality of hit parts arranged in one of the two, and a single hit part arranged in the other,
The plurality of hit portions are intermittently arranged along the circumferential direction in a form surrounding the central axis in a ring shape,
The single striking portion extends in a radial direction intersecting the central axis, and is elastically deformed when it comes into contact with the striking portion to generate a resilient force, and then returns to elasticity, thereby intermittent sound. Occur and
In the operation means or the member that rotates integrally therewith, the number of rotation detected parts detected by the rotation detecting means is the same as the number of the hit parts, and surrounds the central axis in a ring shape along the circumferential direction. The gaming machine operation switch according to claim 8 , which is intermittently disposed.   The gaming machine operation switch according to any one of claims 1 to 9, wherein the operation means can be rotated around the central axis by an artificial operation executed in accordance with a gaming state including a standby state. A gaming machine is mounted in a form movable in the central axis direction.
