The outer frame 10 has a resin sliding portion 17 that slides with the front frame 20 when the front frame 20 opens and closes. More specifically, the sliding portion 17 is attached to the lower horizontal frame member 14. Further, the sliding portion 17 is located on the upper surface of the lower horizontal frame member 14 and is located on the opposite side (right side in the figure) to the side opposite to the side where the rotation axis of the front frame 20 is located. The sliding portion 17 contacts the lower surface of the game board holding frame 22 and holds the front frame 20 in a state where the game board holding frame 22 of the front frame 20 is closed. For this reason, when the front frame 20 is closed, a gap is formed between the front frame 20 and the curtain plate 16.

The front frame 20 is attached to the outer frame 10 at one side (left side in FIG. 1) so that the rotation axis extends in the vertical direction. In other words, the front frame 20 includes a transparent plate holding frame 21 that holds the transparent plate in a predetermined position, and a game board holding frame 22 that holds the game board 110 in a predetermined position. As shown in FIG. 3, the transparent plate holding frame 21 and the game board holding frame 22 in a closed state can be integrally rotated with respect to the outer frame 10 to be opened. Although not shown in the drawings, the transparent plate holding frame 21 can be opened independently by rotating the transparent plate holding frame 21 with respect to the outer frame 10 and the game board holding frame 22 in a state where the transparent plate holding frame 21 and the game board holding frame 22 are closed. Is possible.
The game board holding frame 22 of the front frame 20 is provided with locking members 23, 24, 25 for locking the front frame 20 so that the front frame 20 does not open by engaging with the right vertical frame member 11 of the outer frame 10. ing. The locking members 23, 24, and 25 are interlocked by inserting a key (not shown) into a key hole 158 (see FIG. 1) disposed on the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 100 and rotating in a predetermined direction. Performs locking and unlocking operations.

  Various boards and the like are attached to the rear surface of the game board 110, and these various boards and the like are covered with a transparent cover 510 whose inside is visible. In other words, the main board and the sub board are arranged on the rear surface of the game board 110. That is, on the rear surface of the game board 110, a game control board 520 in which a game control unit that performs internal lottery and determination of winning is configured as a main board. The game control board 520 is sealed in a main board case 540 made of a transparent member so that a trace remains when opened.

In addition, as a sub-board, an effect control board 530 configured with an effect control unit that comprehensively controls effects, an image control board (not shown) configured with an image / sound control unit that controls image and sound effects, In addition, a lamp control board (not shown) on which a lamp control unit for controlling effects by various lamps and the movable accessory 115 is provided. As will be described later, the effect control board 530 is accommodated in the sub board case 570 (see FIG. 4).
A switching power supply 550 is provided on the rear surface of the game board 110 to convert the supplied 24V AC power supply into a DC power supply and output it to various boards.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the sub-board case 570 according to the first embodiment.
The sub-board case 570 shown in the figure is arranged inside the cover 510 (see FIG. 3). The sub-board case 570 has a side surface forming an accommodation space A for accommodating an effect control board 530 as an example of a board or a control board, and has an opening that can access the effect control board 530. A main body 31 as an example of a constituent member is provided. The sub-board case 570 includes a lid portion 32 as an example of a second component member that covers the opening of the main body portion 31.
In addition, the main body portion 31 and the lid portion 32 are formed with notches (not shown) for releasing heat to the outside. In addition, the effect control board 530 is configured by connecting two boards with columns. The two substrates are electrically connected to each other by a wire. Various electronic components and the like are mounted on the surface of the effect control board 530 (the right side surface in the figure).
The lid portion 32 is separate from the main body portion 31 and engages with the main body portion 31. And the cover part 32 is comprised so that it cannot isolate | separate easily from the main-body part 31 with the fitting structure and screw fastening structure by a nail | claw shape. That is, the sub board case 570 is configured such that it is difficult to open the lid 32 and access the effect control board 530. The lid portion 32 forms a housing space A together with the main body portion 31.

The sub-board case 570 has a stepped portion 33 formed by the position of the side surface (outer surface) 31a of the main body 31 being different from the position of the side surface (outer surface) 32a of the lid portion 32. More specifically, the position of the engaging portion C where the main body portion 31 and the lid portion 32 engage with each other is at the step portion 33. In addition, the structure which forms the level | step-difference part 33 partially in the side surface 31a and 32a of the main-body part 31 and the cover part 32 can be considered, and the structure formed over the perimeter of the side surfaces 31a and 32a is also considered.
In the present embodiment, the stepped portion 33 is formed by making the position of the side surface 31a of the main body portion 31 outward from the position of the side surface 32a of the lid portion 32, but the reverse configuration is also considered. It is done. That is, it is conceivable that the stepped portion 33 is formed by making the position of the side surface 31 a of the main body portion 31 inward from the position of the side surface 32 a of the lid portion 32.

The sub-board case 570 has a seal 40 as an example of a seal member attached to the main body portion 31 and the lid portion 32 in the vicinity of the step portion 33. The seal 40 has a rectangular shape, and one end 41 of both ends of the seal 40 is affixed to the main body 31, and the other end 42 is affixed to the lid 32. That is, the seal 40 is composed of a single sheet, and is affixed across the main body 31 and the lid 32.
More specifically, the intermediate portion 43 of the seal 40 is not attached to either the main body portion 31 or the lid portion 32. The intermediate portion 43 is an unattached portion that is not attached to the sub substrate case 570. The end portions 41 and 42 of the seal 40 are attached to the sub-board case 570 with a predetermined tension. For this reason, the seal 40 does not stick to the stepped portion 33 and extends across the stepped portion 33. In the present embodiment, the seal 40 is attached to the upper surface side of the sub substrate case 570.
Here, in the seal 40, the end portion 41 is an example of a first pasting portion, the end portion 42 is an example of a second pasting portion, and the intermediate portion 43 is an example of an intermediate portion. Further, the sub substrate case 570 is an example of a substrate case, and the stepped portion 33 of the sub substrate case 570 is an example of an unattached portion.

In other words, the seal 40 is affixed to the sub-board case 570 with an adhesive that cannot be used again after being peeled from the sub-board case 570. For example, the seal 40 may be made of plastic such as polyester, acrylic, or vinyl chloride, and may be made of a brittle material that is damaged when an external force is applied. As the adhesive, it is conceivable to use a heat-resistant polyester-based or urethane-based material. Note that the adhesive is present over the entire adhesive surface of the seal 40.
On the surface of the seal 40, precautions (for example, “opening strictly prohibited”) are printed so as not to open the lid 32. Further, a unique identification number is attached to the surface of the seal 40 so that it can be seen at a glance that another seal has been peeled off from the sub-board case 570. It is also conceivable to print a pattern (for example, a hologram) for preventing counterfeiting on the surface of the seal 40.
In the present embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to the sub-board case 570 has been described. However, it may be applied to the main board case 540 (see FIG. 3).

Next, a case where an improper process is performed on the seal 40 to open the lid 32 will be described.
As described above, the seal 40 has the end portions 41 and 42 attached to the main body portion 31 and the lid portion 32 with tension, while the intermediate portion 43 of the seal 40 is attached to the main body portion 31 and the lid portion 32. Moreover, it extends so as to cross the space of the stepped portion 33.

A person who intends to cut the seal 40 illegally can recognize that it is easy to cut if the intermediate portion 43 of the seal 40 is cut by observing the sticking state of the seal 40. In addition, it can be said that the sub-board case 570 has a structure in which a portion (intermediate portion 43) of the seal 40 is positively easily cut. It can also be said that the sub-board case 570 forms a portion (intermediate portion 43) that serves as a mark when the seal 40 is cut.
Formation of such a portion that can be easily cut or formation of a mark that is a mark when cutting is achieved by performing an operation of attaching the end portions 41 and 42 of the seal 40 to the sub-board case 570, It does not reduce assembly workability.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the seal 40 of the sub-board case 570 is cut.
When the intermediate portion 43 (see FIG. 4) of the seal 40 is cut using a cutter or the like, as shown in FIG. 5, the seal 40 includes a cut piece 40a including an end portion 41 (see FIG. 4) and an end portion. It divides | segments into the cut piece 40b containing 42 (refer FIG. 4). The cut piece 40a is located on the main body 31 side, and the cut piece 40b is located on the lid 32 side.
By cutting the intermediate portion 43, the tension of the seal 40 acting so far is eliminated. For this reason, either one or both of the cut piece 40a and the cut piece 40b is formed by the weight of the main body portion 31 or the lid portion 32 where the portion not attached to the main body portion 31 and the lid portion 32 forms the stepped portion 33. It sticks to the side surfaces 31a and 32a. In addition, the sticking state of the cut piece 40a and the cut piece 40b after cutting differs depending on the position at which the intermediate portion 43 of the seal 40 is cut, and FIG.

Such a sticking state leaves a trace that the seal 40 attached to the sub-board case 570 has been cut, and it can be confirmed at a glance that it has been cut.
Further, once the seal 40 is peeled off, it cannot be attached again, and it becomes impossible to return to the state before cutting where the intermediate portion 43 of the seal 40 is not attached. Furthermore, by using the seal 40 that is difficult to counterfeit, it becomes difficult to perform a camouflage operation that hides the cut.

More specifically, in the conventional structure in which the sub-board case 570 does not have the stepped portion 33, the seal 40 is attached to the sub-board case 570 over almost the entire surface. In that case, the person who is going to cut | disconnect the seal | sticker 40 cuts with a cutter etc. along the engagement part of the main-body part 31 and the cover part 32, for example. In such a cutting method, it is assumed that it is difficult to visually recognize the change of the seal 40 due to the cutting because the trace that the seal 40 has been cut is inconspicuous. Therefore, even if the cut seal 40 is left as it is, there is a possibility that the cutting process is missed.
In this regard, in the configuration according to the present embodiment, since the trace that the seal 40 has been cut is conspicuous, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the seal 40 has been overlooked.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a sub-board case 570 according to the second embodiment.
A sub-board case 570 shown in the figure includes a main body 31 and a lid 32 as in the case of the first embodiment. The lid portion 32 can be engaged with the main body portion 31.
The main body 31 has a protruding portion 34 that protrudes outward from the side surface 31a. Moreover, the cover part 32 has the protrusion part 35 which is located apart from the protrusion part 34 of the main-body part 31, and protrudes outward from the side surface 32a. The sub-board case 570 has a concave portion 36 located between the protruding portion 34 and the protruding portion 35 that are separated from each other.

More specifically, the protrusions 34 and 35 are formed so as to extend along the length direction (direction perpendicular to the paper surface). Further, the protruding portion 34 of the main body portion 31 and the protruding portion 35 of the lid portion 32 are formed so as to face each other.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the projecting portions 34 and 35 are formed at positions farther from the engaging portion C where the main body portion 31 and the lid portion 32 engage with each other. However, as long as the protruding portion 34 and the protruding portion 35 are positioned so as to be separated from each other, either the protruding portion 34 or the protruding portion 35 may be formed at the same position as the engaging portion C. Good. Therefore, the engaging portion C is located in the concave portion 36.

The sub board case 570 has a seal 40 attached to the main body 31 and the lid 32. This seal 40 can be configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
More specifically, one end 44 of both ends of the seal 40 is affixed to the protrusion 34 of the main body 31, and the other end 45 is affixed to the protrusion 35 of the lid 32. Further, the intermediate portion 46 of the seal 40 is not attached to either the main body portion 31 or the lid portion 32. That is, the intermediate part 46 of the seal 40 is an unattached part.
As in the case of the first embodiment, the seal 40 has the end portions 44 and 45 attached to the sub-board case 570 with a predetermined tension, and the intermediate portion 46 is not attached to the projecting portions 34 and 35 but has a concave shape. It extends across the portion 36.
Here, in the seal 40, the end portion 44 is an example of a first pasting portion, the end portion 45 is an example of a second pasting portion, and the intermediate portion 46 is an example of an intermediate portion. In the sub-board case 570, the protruding portion 34 of the main body 31 is an example of a first protruding portion, the protruding portion 35 of the lid portion 32 is an example of a second protruding portion, and the concave shaped portion 36 is not attached. It is an example of a formation part.

Various modifications can be considered for this embodiment.
For example, in the present embodiment, the heights of the protrusions 34 and 35 are substantially the same, but it is also conceivable that the heights are different from each other. That is, it is conceivable that the protruding portion 34 is configured to be higher than the protruding portion 35, and the protruding portion 35 is configured to be higher than the protruding portion 34.
In the present embodiment, the protruding portion 34 is formed on the main body portion 31 and the protruding portion 35 is formed on the lid portion 32, but the protruding portion 34 is formed only on one of the main body portion 31 and the lid portion 32. Or it is the structure which forms the protrusion part 35. FIG. More specifically, the protrusion 34 is formed on the main body 31 and the protrusion 35 is not formed on the lid 32, or the protrusion 35 is formed on the lid 32 and the protrusion 34 is formed on the main body 31. A configuration that does not work is conceivable.

FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the seal 40 of the sub-board case 570 is cut.
As shown in the figure, when the seal 40 is cut using a blade or the like, a cut piece 40a including an end portion 44 (see FIG. 6) and a cut piece 40b including an end portion 45 (see FIG. 6); It is divided into.
By the cutting at the intermediate portion 43 of the seal 40, the tension of the seal 40 that has been acting so far is lost, and the intermediate portion 43 that is not attached to either the main body portion 31 or the lid portion 32 is the surface of the concave portion 36. Stick on. That is, the portion of the cut piece 40a that has not been pasted is pasted on the region of the main body portion 31 located between the protruding portion 44 and the engaging portion C (see FIG. 6). Further, the portion of the cut piece 40b that has not been pasted is pasted on the region of the lid portion 32 located between the protruding portion 45 and the engaging portion C (see FIG. 6).
Also in the case of the present embodiment, when the sticker 40 attached to the sub-board case 570 is cut due to such a sticking state, the form of the sticker 40 changes. Is possible.

  As described above, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above, since the trace that the seal 40 attached to the sub-board case 570 is cut remains, the fact that the seal 40 is cut. Can be confirmed at a glance.
