In this state, the fracture portion 854 and the IC tag seal 815 do not interfere with each other, and the IC tag seal 815 can perform its function, that is, can communicate with the IC tag seal reader / writer, and the information stored in the IC tag seal 815 is externally transmitted. It can be read.

  On the other hand, when the sealing of the cover member 850 is released and the cover member 850 is slid leftward toward the second position, the fracture portion 854 moves leftward along with the cover member 850 along the escape groove 812f. It becomes. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5B, the fracture portion 854 and the IC tag seal 815 interfere with each other, and the IC tag seal 815 is partially broken by the fracture portion 854. As a result, the antenna built in the IC tag seal 815 is disconnected, and communication between the IC tag seal 815 and the IC tag seal reader / writer becomes impossible. Therefore, the information stored in the IC tag seal 815 cannot be read from the outside, and the function of the IC tag seal 815 is disabled.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the seal of the cover member 850 is released and opened, the function of the IC tag seal 815 is disabled. As a result, when an illegal act on the main board 156 is attempted, the function of the IC tag seal 815 is disabled when the cover member 850 is opened at the previous stage, so that the function of the IC tag seal 815 is utilized while the function of the IC tag seal 815 is utilized. It is possible to reliably prevent cheating. Further, in this embodiment, since the release direction for releasing (opening) the cover member 850 is restricted to one direction, an operation for disabling the function of the IC tag seal 815 is surely performed. Yes.

The accommodation hole 913h is configured to accommodate the sticking convex portion 912d of the substrate housing 912 when the substrate housing 912 and the lid 913 are combined.

  After the substrate container 912 and the lid 913 are combined, the IC tag seal 915 is pasted across the surface of the sticking projection 912d of the board housing 912 and the sticking recess 913f of the lid 913 on both the left and right sides (FIG. 35). reference). Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to open the main board case 910, the IC tag seal 915 needs to be peeled off or broken, and this also leaves a trace of opening the main board case 910. Further, since the IC tag seal 915 is attached to the main substrate storage case 910 and then covered (shielded) by the seal cover member 950, it is almost impossible to contact the IC tag seal 915 from the outside. In this embodiment, by doing so, illegal acts on the IC tag seal 915 are prevented. Further, the IC tag seal 915 is prevented from being damaged due to inadvertent contact during information reading or maintenance.

  Further, the seal cover member 950 is attached to the main board case 910 in a state of being substantially fitted in the housing recess 913e of the lid 913. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the IC tag seal 915 from being accessed from the gap between the seal cover member 950 and the lid 913.

  FIG. 34 is an external perspective view of the seal cover member 950. The seal cover member 950 is a horizontally long, substantially rectangular flat plate-like member, and includes a first first shielding portion 951 at the center, two second shielding portions 952 provided on the left and right sides of the first shielding portion 951, and a first shielding. It is composed of two broken portions 953 provided between the portion 951 and the second shielding portion 952. In addition, first engaging portions 954 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the back surface of the first shielding portion 951 at the right end portion of the back surface of the second shielding portion 952 on the right side and the left end portion of the back surface of the second shielding portion 952 on the left side. Each has a second locking portion 955 protruding therefrom.

  The breaking portion 953 is a portion for dividing the seal cover member 950 into a first shielding portion 951 and two second shielding portions 952, and a plurality of the first shielding portion 951 and the second shielding portion 952 adjacent to each other are connected. Connection piece 953a. The connection piece 953a has a small cross-sectional area at the intermediate portion and can be easily broken.

  The first locking portion 954 is composed of two tongue piece portions 954 a that protrude from the back surface of the first shielding portion 951. These two tongue pieces 954a are substantially flat members arranged in parallel to each other, and are provided with wedge-shaped locking projections 954b on the outer surface of the tip. The second locking portion 955 is configured substantially the same as the first locking portion 954, and locking protrusions 955b are provided on the outer surfaces of the tip portions of the two tongue pieces 955a.

  The seal cover member 950 is made of a translucent resin, like the substrate storage body 912 and the lid body 913. Therefore, even after the IC tag seal 915 is shielded by the seal cover member 950, the display on the surface of the IC tag seal 915 can be visually recognized from the outside.

  FIG. 35A is a diagram showing the attachment of the seal cover member 950. As shown in the figure, the seal cover member 950 is a combination of a substrate storage body 912 and a lid body 913, which is sealed with case caulking portions 912b and 913b and case caulking pins 914a, and an IC tag seal 915 is attached. After that, it is attached to the main board case 910.

  When the substrate storage body 912 and the lid body 913 are combined, the surface of the sticking convex portion 912d of the substrate housing body 912 and the bottom surface of the sticking concave portion 913f of the lid body 913 are substantially on the same plane, and the IC tag seal 915 straddles both of them. Pasted. Therefore, the IC tag seal 915 is affixed in the housing recess 913f, and the seal cover member 950 is attached to the main board case 910 from the front (front side) so as to cover the IC tag seal 915.

  FIGS. 36A and 36B are views showing the opening of the main board case 910. FIG. In these drawings, the release of the seal by the case caulking portions 912b and 913b and the case caulking pin 914a is not shown.

  As described above, the first shielding portion 951 of the seal cover member 950 is engaged with the substrate housing 912 by the first engaging portion 954, and the second shielding portion 952 is engaged with the lid 913 by the second engaging portion 955. It has stopped. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the main substrate case 910 is opened by swinging the substrate housing 912 and the lid 913 around the hinges 912a and 913a, the seal cover member 950 is The breaking portion 953 receives a shearing force at the breaking portion 953 between the first shielding portion 951 and the second shielding portion 952, and the breaking portion 953 breaks.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the main substrate case 910 is opened, the seal cover member 950 has the first shielding portion 951 and the second shielding portion 952 separated, and the first shielding portion 951 is the substrate. The state where the second shielding portion 952 is retained in the housing recess 913e of the lid 913 remains in a state where it remains locked on the sticking convex portion 912d of the storage body 912. As a result, a trace of opening the main board case 910 remains, and it can be easily confirmed that the main board case 910 is opened.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the seal cover member 950 is broken, the IC tag seal 915 is broken to disable the function of the IC tag seal 915. FIG. 37 is an enlarged view of a portion A in FIG. FIG. 38 (a) is an enlarged view of portion B of FIG. 36 (b), and FIG. 38 (b) is an enlarged view of portion C of FIG. 36 (b).

  As shown in FIG. 37, when the main board case 910 is to be opened, the seal cover member 950 moves the first shielding part 951 together with the board housing 912 and moves the second shielding part 952 together with the lid 913. Therefore, the substrate storage body 912 and the lid body 913 that move in opposite directions receive shearing force. As the substrate storage body 912 and the lid body 913 are swung, the breaking portion 953 is gradually broken from the upper portion where the movement amount is large.

  At this time, as the lid 913 moves away from the substrate housing 912, the IC tag seal 915 also moves together with the lid 913, and the portion pasted on the surface of the sticking convex portion 912d of the substrate housing 912 tends to peel off. However, the portion of the IC tag seal 915 pasted on the surface of the sticking convex portion 912d is covered with the first shielding portion 951 of the seal cover member 950 from the front side, and thus cannot be completely peeled off and moves in opposite directions. The shearing force is received by the first shielding portion 951 of the seal cover member 950 and the sticking recess 913f of the lid 913. Therefore, the IC tag seal 915 gradually breaks from the upper part where the movement amount is large at the boundary between the first shielding part 951 and the sticking recess 913f.

  After the main board case 910 is opened, the IC tag seal 915 is completely broken, and as shown in FIGS. 38 (a) and (b), the part pasted on the pasting recess 913f of the lid 913, and the board It will be separated into three parts pasted on the sticking convex part 912d of the storage body 912. The portion of the IC tag seal 915 pasted on the pasting recess 913f remains on the lid 913 together with the second shielding portion 952 of the seal cover member 950 (in a state sandwiched between the second shielding portions 952), and the IC tag seal 915 The portion pasted on the pasting convex portion 912d remains together with the first shielding portion 951 of the seal cover member 950 in the substrate storage body 912 (in a state sandwiched between the first shielding portions 951).

  In this state, since the antenna built in the IC tag seal 915 is completely disconnected, communication between the IC tag seal 915 and the IC tag seal reader / writer becomes impossible. Therefore, information stored in the IC tag seal 915 cannot be read from the outside, and the function of the IC tag seal 915 is disabled.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the main board case 910 is opened, the IC tag seal 915 is broken together with the seal cover member 950, and the function of the IC tag seal 915 is disabled. As a result, when an illegal act on the main board 156 is attempted, the function of the IC tag seal 915 is disabled when the main board case 910 is opened. Therefore, the illegal action on the main board 156 is performed while the function of the IC tag seal 915 is utilized. It can be surely prevented from being performed.

The protruding member 1064 is inserted into the locking hole 1062 from the front side, and is locked to the seal cover member 1060 with the protruding portion 1064b protruding to the back side.

  Next, attachment and removal of the seal cover member 1060 will be described with reference to FIGS. 40 to 42. FIGS. 40A and 40B are views showing a method of attaching the seal cover member 1060. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the seal cover member 1060 is a combination of a substrate housing 1012 and a lid 1013, which is sealed by case caulking portions 1012b and 1013b and case caulking pins 1014a, and an IC tag seal 1015. Is attached to the main board case 1010. The IC tag seal 1015 is stuck across the surface of the sticking convex portion 1012d of the substrate storage body 1012 and the surface of the lid 1013 below it.

  In the state in which the substrate housing 1012 and the lid 1013 are combined, the mounting rail 1012g of the substrate housing 1012 and the mounting rail 1013k of the lid 1013 are substantially parallel, and the stopper wall 1012h of the substrate housing 1012 and the stopper wall of the lid 1013 1013l is in a substantially continuous state. The IC tag seal 1015 is stuck between the two mounting rails 1012g and 1013k across the surface of the sticking convex portion 1012d of the substrate housing 1012 and the surface of the lid 1013 below the sticking convex portion 1012d.

  The seal cover member 1060 engages the engaging portions 1061 at the upper and lower side edges from the right side with the mounting rails 1012g and 1013k, and slides leftward along the mounting rails 1012g and 1013k as they are, thereby allowing the main board case 1010 to move. Attached to. Then, as shown in FIG. 5B, the seal cover member 1060 is slid to the shielding position where the left end portion substantially contacts the stopper walls 1012h and 1013l. The protruding member 1064 is attached by being inserted into the locking hole 1062 after the seal cover member 1060 is moved to the shielding position.

  In a state where the protruding member 1064 is locked to the seal cover member 160, the two locking portions 1064 c are located in the recess on the back side of the seal cover member 1060. Therefore, when the seal cover member 1060 is attached to the main board case 1010, it is impossible to access and operate the locking portion 1064c from the outside. That is, in this embodiment, the protruding member 164 cannot be removed from the seal cover member 1060 unless the seal cover member 1060 is removed from the main board case 1010.

  FIG. 41A is a diagram showing a state in which the seal cover member 1060 is in the shielding position and the protruding member 1064 is attached. As shown in the figure, the seal cover member 1060 is in a state where the entire IC tag seal 1015 is shielded at the shield position.

Therefore, the main board case 1010 cannot be opened unless the seal cover member 1060 is removed. That is, the seal cover member 1060 also functions as a sealing unit that prevents the main substrate case 1010 from being opened.

  The seal cover member 1060 is removed by releasing the locking of the positioning portion (not shown) and then sliding the seal cover member 1060 to the right along the mounting rails 1012g and 1013k as shown in FIG. To do. In this embodiment, when the seal cover member 1060 is slid rightward from the shielding position to remove the seal cover member 1060, the protruding member 1064 breaks the IC tag seal 1015 and disables the function of the IC tag seal 1015. It has become.

  FIG. 42 is an enlarged view showing breakage of the IC tag seal 1015 by the protruding member 1064. When the seal cover member 1060 moves in the right direction, the protrusion 1064b of the protrusion member 1064 moves in the right direction along the gap between the lower side surface of the sticking convex portion 1012d and the upper side surface of the concave portion 1013j. It will be. Therefore, as shown in the figure, the protrusion 1064b and the IC tag seal 1015 interfere with each other, and the IC tag seal 1015 is broken. As a result, the antenna built in the IC tag seal 1015 is disconnected, and communication between the IC tag seal 1015 and the IC tag seal reader / writer becomes impossible. Therefore, information stored in the IC tag seal 1015 cannot be read from the outside, and the function of the IC tag seal 1015 is disabled.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the seal cover member 1060 is removed, the function of the IC tag seal 1015 is disabled. As a result, when an illegal act is attempted on the main board 156, the function of the IC tag seal seal seal 1015 is disabled in the removal of the seal cover member 1060 at the previous stage. Therefore, the main function of the IC tag seal 1015 is maintained. It is possible to reliably prevent an illegal act on the substrate 156.

  Then, when the engaging protrusion 1213j passes through the protruding portion 1232b, the mounting base 1230 returns to bend, and as shown in FIG. 5C, the vertical surface 1213j2 of the engaging protrusion 1213j and the vertical surface 1232b2 of the protruding portion 1232b The main board case 1210 reaches the mounting position while facing each other. Accordingly, in the mounting position, the vertical movement 1213j2 of the engagement protrusion 1213j and the vertical surface 1232b2 of the protrusion 1232b are in contact with each other, so that the left movement of the main board case 1210 is restricted.

  46 (a) and 46 (b) are views showing a method of removing the main board case 1210 from the mounting base 1230. FIG.

  FIG. 6A is a view showing a state where the main board case 1210 is in the mounting position. As shown in the figure, the main board case 1210 is in a state where the right side surface thereof is substantially in contact with the restraining piece 1231 at the attachment position, and movement in the right direction is restricted. Accordingly, the main board storage case 1210 is in a state where movement to the left is restricted by the protrusion 1232b of the engagement groove 1232 and movement to the right is restricted by the restraining piece 1231 at the mounting position. ing. Further, since the engagement protrusion 1213j is in the groove portion 1232a of the engagement groove 1232, the movement of the main board case 1210 in the front-rear direction (front-back direction) is also restricted. That is, the main board case 1210 is fixed to the mounting base 1230 at the mounting position.

  Further, when the main board case 1210 is in the mounting position, the interference member 1233 is accommodated in a concave groove shape composed of a concave portion 1212g, a back opening portion 1213i, and a left opening portion 1213h, as shown in FIG. It is in the state. Accordingly, the interference member 1233 is shielded by the main board case 1210 and the IC tag seal 1215, and it is almost impossible to contact the interference member 1233 from the outside. At the mounting position, the tip end surface of the portion protruding to the left of the interference member 1233 is in a state of being substantially in contact with the back surface of the IC tag seal region 1215c of the IC tag seal 1215.

  When removing the main board case 1210 from the mounting base 1230, first, the restriction on the rightward movement by the restraining piece 1231 is released, and then the main board case 1210 is moved (slid) to the right to move the main board case. The case 1210 is moved to a removal position where the case 1210 can be detached from the attachment base 1230. FIG. 5B shows a state where the main board case 1210 is in the removal position. The restriction by the stop piece 1231 is released by pressing the stop piece 1231 toward the back side and eliminating the protruding portion.

  The engagement protrusion 1213j of the main board case 1210 moves along the groove portion 1232a of the engagement groove 1232 in accordance with the rightward movement from the attachment position. Then, the engagement protrusion 1213j reaches a position corresponding to the detachment port 1232d of the engagement groove 1232 at the removal position. That is, in the detaching position, the engaging protrusion 1213j can be detached from the detaching port 1232d toward the front (front side), whereby the main board case 1210 can be detached from the mounting base 1230. ing.

  In this embodiment, when the main board case 1210 is removed from the attachment base 1230, the IC tag seal 1215 is broken during the movement from the attachment position to the removal position, thereby disabling the function of the IC tag seal 1215. Yes.

  FIG. 47 is an enlarged view of part B as seen from the line of sight of FIG. As described above, at the mounting position, the front end surface of the portion of the interference member 1233 that protrudes to the left is substantially in contact with the back surface of the IC tag seal region 1215c of the IC tag seal 1215. When the main board case 1210 moves rightward from this state, the interference member 1233 and the IC tag seal region 1215c of the IC tag seal 1215 interfere with each other, and a part of the IC tag seal 1215c is broken. In other words, the interference member 1233 housed in the concave groove shape constituted by the concave portion 1212g, the back opening portion 1213i, and the left opening portion 1213h is moved to the left side of the concave groove shape as the main board case 1210 moves. The IC tag seal region 1215c of the IC tag seal 1215 that has blocked the openings (the opening of the recess 1212g and the left opening 1213h) is broken to escape to the outside.

  The IC tag seal 1215 is disconnected from the built-in antenna 1215c when a part of the IC tag seal region 1215c is broken, so that the IC tag seal 1215 cannot communicate with the IC tag seal reader / writer. Therefore, the information stored in the IC tag seal 1215 cannot be read from the outside, and the function of the IC tag seal 1215 is disabled.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the main board case 1210 is removed from the mounting base 1230, the function of the IC tag seal 1215 is disabled. As a result, when an illegal act is attempted on the main board 156, the function of the IC tag seal 1215 is disabled in the removal of the main board case 1210 at the previous stage. It is possible to reliably prevent fraudulent acts against.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine according to the above embodiment, when a predetermined success / failure determination condition is satisfied (for example, the game ball is in the start region (for example, the normal start port 228, the first special view start port 230, the first 2 (when entering the special map start opening 232)), whether or not to determine whether or not (for example, special map winning lottery, jackpot type lottery, general drawing winning lottery) (for example, special drawing related lottery processing, general drawing related lottery) Processing) and the result of the determination of the success / failure is a specific success / failure determination result (for example, jackpot, win), the advantage for the player is the first advantage (for example, the variable winning opening 234 is closed) A second control state (for example, a second advantage that is different from the first advantage from a first control state (for example, a normal state) that is difficult for a game ball to enter the winning opening) The variable prize opening 234 is open or variable Control state transition means (for example, a main control unit) that shifts a control state (for example, information stored in a control state storage area provided in the RAM 308) to a state where the prize opening 234 repeats opening and closing, an electric support state, or the like) 300, a basic circuit 302, a special figure state update process, a process for updating information stored in a control state storage area provided in the RAM 308, and the like, and a predetermined identification information (for example, A bar code 718a representing a management number, a QR code 718b representing a management number, character information 718c representing a management number, patterns, lines, characters, information unique to a gaming machine such as an identification number written in an IC tag memory) Informing means (for example, IC tag seals 717, 718, etc.), and breakage means (for example, IC tag seal cutter 720) for damaging the informing means , A breakage portion 854, a seal cover member 950, a protruding member 1064, an interference member 1233, etc.), and the breakage means is at least one of the notification means in accordance with the movement of at least one of the notification means and the breakage means. It is a game stand characterized by damaging a part. Note that “damage” in the present invention means that at least part of the identification information included in the notification means is made indistinguishable or disabled, and the notification means is physically damaged (for example, Not only cutting, destruction, etc.) but also, for example, erasing information in the memory of the IC tag by applying a strong magnetic force to the notification means, melting the antenna of the IC tag by applying heat to the notification means, etc. .

  According to the pachinko machine according to the above-described embodiment, the notifying unit can be reliably damaged by the damaging unit, and the reuse of the notifying unit by an unauthorized person can be reliably prevented.

  In addition, the pachinko machine according to the embodiment includes a control board (for example, main board 156) having a component mounting surface on which electronic components are mounted, and a first cover body (for example, covering the component mounting surface of the control board). , A cover body 704), and a substrate case (for example, main board case 158) that houses the control board by a second cover body (for example, board housing body 702) that covers the back surface of the component mounting surface of the control board. And a sticker (for example, an IC tag sticker 716) having identification information that can be read in a non-contact manner by a predetermined device, and is configured separately from the substrate case and breaks the sticker. Breakage means (for example, an IC tag seal cutter 760d) and covering means (for example, an IC tag seal cover 760) covering at least a part of the seal. The seal is a first part that covers at least a part of the outer surface of the first cover body, and the first cover body and the second cover in a state where the control board is accommodated in the substrate case. A second part that covers at least a part of the gap formed between the body and a third part that covers at least a part of the outer surface of the second cover body, and the covering means includes the breakage The substrate case is configured to be movable from the first position to the second position different from the first position together with the means, and when the covering means is in the first position, the substrate case is When opening is blocked and the covering means is in the second position, opening is permitted and the breakage means moves the covering means from the first position to the second position. With the seal A first part of the seal and a second part of the seal are broken at least, and the breakage means is covered by the covering means when the covering means is in the first position. This is a game table characterized by that.

  With such a configuration, the part of the seal that covers the first cover body (part on the component mounting surface side) is damaged to attract the attention of the user (clerk) and quickly notice the damage trace. In addition, it may be possible to notify the user (store clerk) of the trace that the substrate case has been opened by damaging the portion of the seal that covers the gap. In addition, since the part not supported by the substrate case is damaged, the seal is easily damaged by the damaging means, and even if a part of the damaged part adheres to the damaging means, the part is not supported by the substrate case. In some cases, the breakage caused by the breakage means can be continued smoothly. Moreover, since the breakage means is configured separately from the board case, the seal can be broken with the breakage means while maintaining the state of the board case, and the seal can be reliably broken in an optimum state. In some cases, it is possible to prevent reuse of the seal. In addition, the covering means can make the seal invisible or difficult to see from the outside, and when the covering means is in the first position, the opening of the substrate case can be prevented, and illegal acts can be prevented. In some cases, this can be prevented. Further, since the damaging means is covered with the covering means when the covering means is in the first position, a fraudulent act (such as crafting the damaging means to avoid breakage of the seal due to movement of the damaging means) For example, it may be possible to prevent a fraudulent act that removes part of the breakage means with a tool or the like so that the seal cannot be broken.

  In addition, a substrate storage body (for example, the substrate storage body 702) that stores a control board (for example, the main substrate 156) that performs control related to the game, and a lid on the substrate storage body to seal the control board A substrate storage case (for example, main substrate case 158) having a lid (for example, lid 704) and a covering unit (for example, an IC tag seal cover 720) covering at least a part of the notification unit. And the covering means may be configured to prevent at least one of opening and movement of the lid relative to the substrate storage body at a position covering at least a part of the notification means.

  With such a configuration, it is possible to realize prevention of movement of the notification means and prevention of movement or unsealing of the substrate storage case by the covering means, and the number of parts may be reduced. Further, there are cases where the covering means can prevent the notification means from being removed and can be prevented from being damaged by external factors other than the damage means.

  Further, the breakage means is moved together with the covering means from a first position (for example, a mounting position of the covering means as shown in FIG. 12) from a second position different from the first position (for example, FIG. 27). As shown, the covering means is configured to be movable to a position where the covering means is completely pulled out in the removal direction), and at least a part of the notification means is moved along with the movement from the first position to the second position. The covering means prevents at least one of opening and movement of the lid with respect to the substrate storage body in the first position, but the cover body with respect to the substrate storage body in the second position. It may be configured so as not to prevent at least one of opening and movement.

  With such a configuration, if an unauthorized person attempts to open or move the substrate storage case to improperly operate the control board, the damage means is moved, leaving traces on the notification means. In some cases, it is possible to prevent the notification means from being reused. In some cases, an inspector can confirm an illegal act against the substrate storage case.

  Moreover, you may provide the movement control means (For example, the internal tooth 720a and the external tooth 720d) which controls that the said covering means and the said damage means move to the direction of said 1st position from said 2nd position.

  With such a configuration, even if the removal action is stopped halfway, the evidence of the removal action of the seal cover member may be grasped at the position of the seal cover member.
