(2) Configuration visually recognized from the back side of the pachinko machine:
Next, FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the substrate box 130 described above. FIG. 4 shows a top view of the control board accommodated in the board box 130 as seen from above. In the figure, the substrate box 130 has a hinge mechanism (not shown) formed on one side of a long side, and a resin-made housing body 131 and a lid body 132 that are formed substantially transparent can be opened and closed. On the short side, in order to seal the casing body 131 and the lid body 132, opening portion sealing structures 133 are employed at four opening edges. A detailed configuration of the opening portion sealing structure 133 will be described later. As described above, the control board 134 is accommodated in the housing body 131 and covered with the lid 132. Various semiconductor components are disposed on the control board 134. Among them, a functional unit 136 having a memory unit in which a control unit that controls the pachinko gaming machine 1 or a program for the control unit to execute a predetermined control process and control data are stored is arranged.

  This functional unit 136 is likely to be subject to fraudulent acts such as being exchanged for a unit with an illegal program or data, and a worker in the hall opens the main body frame 20 at the time of maintenance. When visually recognizing the back side of the machine 1, it is necessary to visually check the state while specifying the position where the functional unit 136 is disposed to confirm whether or not an illegal act has been performed. However, as shown in FIG. 2, many parts and devices are arranged on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, the worker in the hall performs maintenance work as necessary while visually checking these parts and devices while visually recognizing such a back side, and arranging the functional unit 136 from among many components and devices. Confirmation work to identify the installation position and confirm its state must be performed.

  Here, if the hall worker has mastered such work, it is easy to specify the position of the functional unit 136 among many parts and devices, but this is not the case. In many cases, it is difficult to specify the position of the functional unit 136 from among a large number of parts and devices. Further, since the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is dark, it is difficult for the worker in the hall to specify the position where the functional unit 136 is disposed. In such a case, it is preferable that the arrangement position of the functional unit 136 is pointed out, the arrangement position of the functional unit 136 is shown to the hall operator, and attention can be drawn. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the LED 135 is disposed at a predetermined position (a position where the functional unit 136 can be irradiated) on the control board 134, and the functional unit 136 is irradiated with the LED 135, thereby the functional unit 136 is The arrangement position is indicated to the worker in the hall by raising the LED 135 with the light beam.

  In this way, by irradiating with the LED 135, it becomes possible to illuminate the functional unit 136 brightly, and when the hall operator checks the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the functional unit 136 is alerted. Is possible. Moreover, it becomes possible to make it easy to visually recognize the functional unit 136 on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 that tends to be dark. The functional unit 136 according to the present embodiment is formed in a substantially thin plate shape, and is erected on the control board 134 with the thin plate width surface facing upward. Thereby, when the worker in the hall faces the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1, only the thin plate width surface of the functional unit 136 enters the worker's field of view. Therefore, it is difficult to specify the position where the functional unit 136 is disposed. Therefore, also in this respect, there is a useful effect in that the functional unit 136 is irradiated with the LED 135 to be easily visible.

On the other hand, when an illegal action is performed on the functional unit 136 on the control board 134, the opening portion sealing structure 133 of the board box 130 must be destroyed. From this point of view, the opening portion sealing structure 133 can also be a target whose state is confirmed by a worker in the hall. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by irradiating the opening portion sealing structure 133 with the light beam of the LED, the arrangement position of the opening portion sealing structure 133 is pointed to the worker in the hall, and attention is paid, and the irradiation becomes brighter. By doing so, it becomes possible to make it easy to visually recognize the state of the opening portion sealing structure 133. Here, an example applied to the opening portion sealing structure 133 is shown in the configuration diagrams of FIGS.

  In the figure, the opening portion sealing structure 133 is constituted by a protruding piece 133a on the lid 132 side and a nut holding portion 133b on the housing body 131 side. And the through-hole 133a1 which penetrates the screw | thread 140 is formed in the protrusion piece 133a. The shaft portion of the screw 140 is formed with a male screw portion 140a only at the tip, and is an extension portion 140b in which no male screw is formed. On the other hand, a cylindrical insert nut 133b2 having a female threaded portion 133b1 formed on the inner peripheral surface is fitted into the nut holding portion 133b. The length of the insert nut 133b2 is generally slightly shorter than the extension portion 140b. In addition, a donut-shaped leaf spring member 133b3 is inserted further into the insert nut 133b2.

  In the above configuration, when the lid 132 is aligned with the housing main body 131 and the protruding piece 133a and the nut holding portion 133b overlap each other, the screw 140 is inserted into the through hole 133a1 of the protruding piece 133a, and the insert nut Screwed into 133b2. As the screw 140 is rotated, the male screw portion 140a is screwed into the female screw portion 133b1 of the insert nut 133b2, but since the extension portion 140b is formed on the screw 140, at the same time, The screw part 140a penetrates the insert nut 133b2. Further, at the time of penetration, the male screw portion 140a also penetrates the leaf spring member 133b3 and is urged in the back direction by the leaf spring member 133b3. The state immediately after the penetration is a sealed state in which the housing body 131 and the lid body 132 are sealed.

  After this, even if the screw 140 is rotated in the reverse direction to remove the lid 132 from the housing body 131, the male screw portion 140a is biased in the back direction by the leaf spring member 133b3, so that the insert nut 133b2 It is not screwed into the female screw part 133b1. For this reason, the screw 140 cannot be removed, and the lid 132 cannot be removed from the housing main body 131. The only way to open as necessary is to break either or both of the resin protruding piece 133a and the nut holding portion 133b. In the case of the illustrated substrate box 130, four pairs of opening portion sealing structures 133 are provided, which corresponds to the case where opening is necessary due to maintenance.

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the substrate box 130 having a configuration capable of irradiating the opening part sealing structure 133 having such a configuration. In the figure, the LED 135a is disposed at a predetermined position on the control board 134 (a position where the opening portion sealing structure 133 can be irradiated). Then, by irradiating the opening portion sealing structure 133 with this LED 135a, the opening portion sealing structure 133 is raised by the light beam of the LED 135a, and the arrangement position is indicated to the worker in the hall. Thus, by irradiating with LED135, it becomes possible to illuminate opening part sealing structure 133 brightly, and when the worker of a hall checks the back side of pachinko gaming machine 1, opening part sealing structure 133 It is possible to call attention to. Moreover, it becomes possible to make it easy to visually recognize the opening part sealing structure 133 on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 that tends to be dark.

Here, FIG. 8 shows a rear view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the LED 135 and the LED 135a irradiate the functional unit 136 and the opening portion sealing structure 133. In this figure, when a worker in the hall opens the main body frame 20 and faces the back of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the functional unit 136 and the opening portion sealing structure that are brightly illuminated by the light rays emitted from the LED 135 and the LED 135a Since 133 enters the field of view of the worker in the hall, it is possible to call attention to the functional unit 136 and the opening portion sealing structure 133 particularly on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Moreover, since the functional unit 136 and the opening part sealing structure 133 are brightly illuminated, it becomes easy to visually recognize the state, and it is possible to easily determine the presence or absence of fraud.

  As shown in FIG. 9, a management number seal 136a attached by the manufacturer is attached to the functional unit 136 described above. This management number seal 136a is given a serial number or a manufacturer's seal. If the functional unit 136 is replaced by an illegal act, the functional unit 136 has been replaced if the state of the management number seal 136a is visually confirmed. Can be immediately identified. Therefore, as shown in the drawing, the visibility may be further improved by disposing the LED 135b for irradiating the management number seal 136a on the control board 134, in particular.

  On the other hand, the timing when the worker in the hall visually recognizes the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is when the main body frame 20 is opened for maintenance work or the like. Therefore, it is preferable that the control process is executed so that the LED 135, the LED 135a, and the LED 135b emit light only when the main body frame 20 is opened, which can contribute to power saving. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing content of the LED control processing executed by the CPU (not shown) of the control board 134. In this case, it is assumed that a predetermined sensor capable of detecting the opening of the main body frame 20 is input to the control board 134. In the figure, the state of the sensor described above is detected, and the open / closed state of the main body frame 20 is acquired (step S100). And it is discriminate | determined whether the main body frame 20 is an open state (step S105), and if it is discriminate | determined that it is an open state, the function unit 136 and an opening part sealing structure will be made by light-emitting LED135, LED135a, LED135b. 133, the management number seal 136a is irradiated (step S110).

  In the above-described embodiment, using the LEDs 135 and 135 a disposed on the control board 134, the functional unit 136 disposed on the control board 134 and the opening portion of the board box 130 that accommodates the control board 134. A structure that irradiates the sealing structure 133 to alert the employees of the hall and facilitates visual recognition is adopted. As described above, the method of calling attention to the functional unit 136 and the opening portion sealing structure 133 and facilitating the visual recognition is not limited to the mode of using the LEDs 135 and 135a arranged on the control board 134.

  Here, a configuration in which the control board 134 is irradiated from a board other than the control board 134 is shown in the configuration diagram of FIG. In the figure, a large number of boards other than the control board 134 are arranged on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the LED 137a is disposed on the substrate box 130 side that accommodates the control substrate 134 of another substrate 137 (for example, a payout substrate) adjacent to the control substrate 134. Then, the LED 137 a irradiates the functional unit 136 on the opening portion sealing structure 133 of the substrate box 130 or the control substrate 134. As described above, the functional unit 136 and the opening portion sealing structure 133 may be irradiated by the LED 137 a disposed on the substrate 137 other than the control substrate 134. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, an LED unit 138a having an LED 138b provided therein is disposed on another substrate 138 that is not adjacent to the control board 134, and a light beam irradiated from the LED 138b in the LED unit 138a is transmitted through an optical fiber cable. The opening portion sealing structure 133 or the functional unit 136 may be irradiated by introducing the optical fiber cable 138c toward the opening portion sealing structure 133 or the functional unit 136 by introducing the optical fiber cable 138c toward the substrate box 130 by the 138c. good.

In the embodiment described above, the LEDs 135, 135a, and 135b are used to irradiate the functional unit 136, the opening portion sealing structure 133, and the management number seal 136a. From the viewpoint of facilitating, it is not limited to LEDs. Therefore, the structure which irradiates the functional unit 136 etc. with a fluorescent lamp may be sufficient, and the structure which irradiates the functional unit 136 etc. by EL (electric luminescent) which light-emits when a high voltage is applied to a semiconductor may be sufficient, It can be selected as appropriate. Here, when a light beam emitted from an LED or EL is used as the irradiating means, it is considered that the irradiated region becomes narrow because the light beam has a straight traveling property. In such a case, by attaching a resin having an enlargement function to the light emitting part of the LED or EL to disperse the light rays of the LED or EL and enlarge the irradiation area, it is possible to draw more attention. It is preferable that it can be easily visually recognized.

  Here, the above-described control board 134 or the board box 130 that houses the control board 134 may be exposed to the outside on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 or may be covered by a cover member 90 as shown in FIG. Sometimes it is done. The cover member 90 is sealed to the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 by cover member sealing structures 91 and 92. When the sealing is performed in this way, when an illegal act is performed on the control board 134, an act of illegally opening the cover member 90 is first performed. That is, the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 are illegally broken and the door is opened. Therefore, when the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is covered with the cover member 90, it is important to visually check the state of the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92. Therefore, in this embodiment, by irradiating the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92, the operator of the hall is alerted to the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 and is easily visible.

  Here, the structure of the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 is shown in FIGS. In this figure, the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 are formed mutually with a cover member 90 and a member (mechanism plate 80 or main body frame 20 or game board 30 or the like) facing the cover member 90. The cover member 90 is sealed by the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92. In the present embodiment, a configuration in which the member facing the cover member 90 is the mechanism plate 80 will be described. However, the member may be the main body frame 20 or the game board 30. Needless to say, it can be appropriately changed according to the design. Moreover, although the structure of the cover member sealing structure 91 is demonstrated in the figure, it cannot be overemphasized that the cover member sealing structure 92 also has an equivalent structure.

  In the figure, the cover member sealing structure 91 has a cover member-side sealing portion 91a formed of a substantially transparent resin with the corners of the cover member 90 depressed, and a substantially semi-cone shape protruding on the opposite side of the cover member 90. And a mechanism plate side sealing portion 91b formed of a substantially transparent resin having a convex portion. And the through-hole 91a1 which penetrates the screw | thread 130 is formed in the cover member side sealing part 91a. The shaft portion of the screw 130 is formed with a male screw portion 130a only at the tip, and an extension portion 130b in which no male screw is formed in the middle. On the other hand, the mechanism plate side sealing portion 91b is fitted with a cylindrical insert nut 91b2 having a female screw portion 91b1 formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof. The length of the insert nut 91b2 is slightly smaller than the extension portion 130b. And a donut-shaped leaf spring member 91b3 is inserted further into the insert nut 91b2.

  In the above configuration, when the cover member side sealing portion 91a is aligned with the mechanism plate side sealing portion 91b and the cover member side sealing portion 91a and the mechanism plate side sealing portion 91b overlap, the cover member The screw 130 is inserted into the through hole 91a1 of the side sealing portion 91a and screwed into the insert nut 91b2. When the screw 130 is rotated, the male screw portion 130a is screwed into the female screw portion 91b1 of the insert nut 91b2, but since the extension portion 130b is formed on the screw 130, the male screw portion 130a is at the same time. The screw part 130a penetrates the insert nut 91b2. Further, at the time of penetration, the male screw portion 130a also penetrates the leaf spring member 91b3, and is urged backward by the leaf spring member 91b3. The state immediately after the penetration is a sealed state in which the cover member 90 and the mechanism plate 80 are sealed.

  Thereafter, even if the cover member 90 is removed from the mechanism plate 80 and the screw 130 is rotated in the reverse direction, the male screw portion 130a is urged in the back direction by the leaf spring member 91b3, so the insert nut 91b2 It is not screwed into the female thread portion 91b1. For this reason, the screw 130 cannot be removed, and the cover member 90 cannot be removed from the mechanism plate 80. The only way to open the cover member 90 as needed is to break either or both of the cover member side sealing portion 90a and the mechanism plate side sealing portion 91b. Therefore, the presence or absence of fraud can be determined by visually recognizing the state of the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92. With respect to the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 16, an LED unit 134a having an LED 134b disposed on a control board 134 accommodated in a board box 130 is used as a light source. An optical fiber cable 134c is extended.

  Then, the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 are irradiated by outputting the light beam irradiated by the LED 134b from the tip of the optical fiber cable 134c. As described above, since the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 are formed of a substantially transparent resin, the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 are illuminated when light passes therethrough. Here, FIG. 17 shows a rear view of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 are irradiated by the LED 134b. In this figure, when a worker in the hall opens the main body frame 20 and faces the back of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the cover member is brightly illuminated by the light beam emitted from the LED 134b output from the tip of the optical fiber cable 134c. Since the sealing structures 91 and 92 enter the field of view of the workers in the hall, it is possible to call attention to the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 particularly on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Further, since the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 are brightly illuminated, it is easy to visually recognize the state of the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92, and it is possible to easily determine the presence or absence of fraud.

  In the embodiment described above, it is necessary to open the main body frame 20 in order to visually recognize the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Since the operation of opening the main body frame 20 is performed in the case of maintenance after closing the store or maintenance on a holiday, an illegal act is performed on the functional unit 136, the opening portion sealing structure 133, and the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92. If it is broken, it cannot be found until the main body frame 20 is opened. On the other hand, after closing the hall, the hall operator goes around the hall, cleans the game board 30, adjusts nails arranged on the game board 30, and takes measures for clogging of the balls. There are many opportunities to open the door. Therefore, when the glass door frame 60 is opened, if the functional unit 136, the opening portion sealing structure 133, and the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 irradiated by the LED 135 and the like are visible, the glass door frame 60 It is possible to discover fraudulent acts on these irradiated objects simply by opening the door.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, an opening is provided in the area facing the back side of the glass door frame 60 so that the irradiation target can be visually recognized from the front surface to the back surface of the main body of the pachinko gaming machine 1. In order to perform various operations, which are normal operations after closing, when the glass door frame 60 is opened, a configuration in which the state of the irradiation target can be visually recognized is adopted. Here, in the present embodiment, as an example, a configuration in which the state of the opening portion sealing structure 133 can be visually recognized from the opening is used. Of course, the state of the irradiation target such as the functional unit 136 is visually recognized from the opening. It goes without saying that possible configurations can be adopted.

(3) Configuration viewed from the front side of the pachinko machine:
FIG. 18 is a perspective view of a state in which the glass door frame 60 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is opened. In the same figure, the state which opened the glass door frame 60 is shown. When the glass door frame 60 is opened, the main body frame 20 that is attached to the outer frame 10 and that has a game area 31 portion opened in a substantially circular shape appears. In the present embodiment, an opening 150 that penetrates from the front surface to the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is formed in the main body frame 20. The opening 150 is formed at a position facing the opening portion sealing structure 133 of the board box 130 disposed on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the main body frame 20, the game board 30, The opening is formed in the mechanism plate 80. FIG. 19 shows an enlarged view when the opening 150 is viewed from the front.

  Thus, since the opening part sealing structure 133 of the board | substrate box 130 is visible via the opening part 150, while the operator of a hall opens the glass door frame 60, this opening part 150 is provided. By visually recognizing the opening part sealing structure 133, it is possible to visually recognize the state of the opening part sealing structure 133 irradiated by the LED 135a. As a result, it is possible to check the illegal acts on the board box 130 while going around the hall after the store is closed and performing the above-mentioned operations, and to detect the illegal acts on the board box 130 that can be performed even during business operations. It becomes possible. In the present embodiment, a resin transparent cover 150a is fitted into the opening 150, and dust or the like enters the back surface from the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 through the opening 150 without blocking the view. To prevent that. Here, the transparent cover 150a may be formed of a convex lens to have a magnifying glass function. Thereby, it becomes possible to enlarge and visually recognize the opening part sealing structure 133, and it becomes easy to confirm the state of the opening part sealing structure 133 more suitably.

  In the above-described embodiment, the opening 150 is arranged on the back side of the glass door frame 60, and when the worker in the hall opens the glass door frame 60 after closing the store and cleans the game board 30, etc. The state of the opening part sealing structure 133 of the substrate box 130 irradiated by the LED 135a through the opening 150 is made visible. Such an opening 150 may be arranged on the back side of the glass door frame 60, or of course, formed in the glass door frame 60, and without opening the glass door frame 60, the opening portion of the substrate box 130 is sealed. The state of the stop structure 133 may be visible. The front view which looked at the glass door frame 60 in this case from the front is shown in FIG.

  In the same figure, an opening 151 is formed in the glass door frame 60 and communicates with the opening 150 formed in the game board 30, the main body frame 20, and the mechanism board 80 as necessary, so that the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is provided. So that you can see the back side. Accordingly, the state of the opening portion sealing structure 133 of the substrate box 130 irradiated by the LED 135a can be visually recognized without opening the glass door frame 60. It is only necessary to look into the opening 151. On the other hand, if the opening 151 is formed in the glass door frame 60 itself in this way, the decoration applied to the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 may be damaged. Therefore, the inclined wall cover 151a and the inclined wall cover 151b shown in FIGS. 21 and 22 are fitted into the opening 151. In the figure, the inclined wall cover 151a is formed with a plurality of inclined walls 151c that are inclined from the upper direction toward the lower direction, and the inclined wall cover 151b is directed from the center direction of the pachinko gaming machine 1 toward the outer side. An inclined wall 151d is formed.

  In this manner, by forming the inclined walls 151c and 151d, the inclined wall can block the view and prevent the opening portion sealing structure 133 from being seen from the player's viewpoint. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of the worker in the hall, the state of the opening portion sealing structure 133 of the substrate box 130 irradiated by the LEDs 135a can be visually recognized through the inclined walls 151c or the inclined walls 151d. As a result, the opening portion sealing structure 133 can be excluded from the player's field of view. At this time, if the same decoration as that of the glass door frame 60 is provided on the outside of the inclined walls 151c and 151d, the player can be prevented from being aware of the opening 151.

In the embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 18, by opening the glass door frame 60, the opening 150 formed in the main body frame 20 penetrating from the front surface to the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1.
The state of the opening part sealing structure 133 of the substrate box 130 irradiated by the LED 135a is made visible, and the glass door frame 60 is opened for various operations, and at the same time, the opening part sealing structure 133 It became possible to visually check the state. Here, in this embodiment, the glass door frame 60 employs a configuration in which the upper plate 63 is integrally formed. Depending on the model of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the upper plate door frame is formed separately from the glass door frame, and is pivotally supported by the main body frame 20 so that it can be opened and closed with respect to the main body frame 20. . In such a pachinko gaming machine 1, there are many occasions where the upper plate door frame is opened due to work such as cleaning of the upper plate 63. At this time, when the upper plate door frame is opened, it is preferable that the sealing state of the opening portion sealing structure 133 of the substrate box 130 can be visually recognized.

  FIG. 23 is a perspective view of a state in which an upper plate door frame formed separately from the glass door frame 60 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is opened. In the same figure, the state which opened the upper plate door frame 63a is shown. When the upper plate door frame 63a is opened, the main body frame 20 that is attached to the outer frame 10 and in which the game area 31 is opened in a substantially circular shape appears. And in this embodiment, the opening part 250 penetrated from the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the back surface is formed in the main body frame 20 on the back surface side of the upper plate door frame 63a. The opening 250 is formed at a position facing the opening portion sealing structure 133 of the board box 130 disposed on the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the main body frame 20, the game board 30, The opening is formed in the mechanism plate 80. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, the board box 130 is disposed below the back surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1 so that the opening portion sealing structure 133 can face the opening 250. Here, FIG. 25 shows an enlarged view when the opening 250 is viewed from the front.

  Thus, since the state of the opening portion sealing structure 133 of the substrate box 130 irradiated by the LED 135a is visible through the opening portion 250, the worker in the hall opens the upper plate door frame 63a. By making the door and visually recognizing the opening portion sealing structure 133 from the opening 250, the state can be recognized. As a result, it is possible to check fraud against the board box 130 while visiting the hall after closing the store, opening the upper plate door frame 63a, and performing various operations. It becomes possible to detect fraudulent acts against. In addition, when the glass door frame 60 and the upper plate door frame 63a that have been described above are opened, it is preferable that the above-described LED control processing is performed, which contributes to power saving.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the gaming machine according to the present invention is applied to the pachinko gaming machine 1 is adopted. Here, FIG. 26 shows a rear view of a slot machine (pachi-slot) 200 to which the present invention is applied. In the figure, a rectangular box shape is also formed on the back side of the slot machine 200, and a substrate box 202 for accommodating the control substrate 201 is mounted therein. The control board 201 is provided with a functional unit 203 having the same function as described above, and an LED 205 for irradiating the functional unit 203.

  The substrate box 202 can be opened and closed by a hinge mechanism (not shown), and an opening portion sealing structure 206 similar to that described above is employed on both short sides. In addition, an LED 207 that irradiates the opening portion sealing structure 206 is disposed on the control board 201. Thus, by irradiating the functional unit 203 and the opening portion sealing structure 206 with the LEDs 205 and 207, it is possible to alert the worker in the hall and make it easy to visually recognize it in the dark.

In the slot machine 200 described above, the manner in which the substrate box 202 is mounted on the back side of the main body has been described. On the other hand, the slot machine 200 is configured by a housing whose front door can be freely opened. At this time, there is also an aspect in which a substrate box 202 containing the control board 201 is disposed on the back side of the front door that is visible when the front door is opened, and the present invention is applied to such an aspect. Needless to say, it is suitable.

  That is, even when the substrate box 202 is disposed on the back side of the front door of the slot machine 200, the LED 205 or the like that irradiates the irradiation target such as the functional unit 203 of the control substrate 201 is disposed on the control substrate 201. When a worker in the hall opens the front door of the slot machine 200 for maintenance or the like and visually confirms the inside, the worker is alerted to the irradiation target and the irradiation target is visually confirmed. It may be easy to do.

  Further, although not shown in the present embodiment, it is needless to say that the gaming machine according to the present invention can be similarly applied to the pachilot. This pacilot uses a pachinko game ball instead of a medal. For example, five pachinko balls can be equivalent to one medal and enjoy a game.

(4) Summary:
In this manner, the LEDs 135 and the like are arranged at predetermined positions on the control board 134, and the function units 136 arranged on the control board 134 and the board box 130 that accommodates the control board 134 are arranged by the LEDs 135 and the like. When the worker in the hall confirms the state of the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 by irradiating the opening part sealing structure 133 or the cover member sealing structures 91 and 92 of the cover member 90, it is particularly fraudulent. It is possible to call attention to the functional unit 136 or the like that is easily subject to Further, by irradiating with the LED 135 or the like, the functional unit 136 or the like can be easily visually recognized.
