Description

  The present invention relates to a fraud monitoring technique for gaming machines.

  Game machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines have various electronic components such as a CPU that executes game control processing, a ROM that stores game control programs, and a RAM that temporarily stores various data generated by the progress of the game. It has a mounted control board. And according to the game control program memorize | stored in ROM, various game machines mounted in the game machine by CPU are controlled, and a series of games are performed.

  In this type of gaming machine, the control board is changed to an illegal control board that is different from the regular one, or the ROM (the chip if the ROM is integrated into one chip with the CPU) is replaced with an illegal one. There have been many reports of fraudulent acts such as

  In order to deal with such fraud, for example, the control board is housed in a transparent board box so that the state of the control board can be easily seen from the outside. The board box is sealed (so-called caulking structure). When opening the board box, leave a history of opening due to breakage, etc., or it is impossible to re-apply so as to straddle the multiple case bodies that make up the board box and leave a trace when it is peeled off Fraud countermeasures such as sticking a sticker are employed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). These fraud countermeasures assist the verification work when visually confirming the fact that the board box has been opened or the control board has been replaced. There is also an effect.

  Each of the above fraud countermeasures is to visually check the control board and board box, and since the control board is hidden behind the game machine and inside the housing, daily confirmation work is complicated. . In addition, it is a difficult task to find a cleverly restored restoration that is difficult to visually confirm the sealed location. In particular, such a problem becomes conspicuous in a large game hall with a large number of gaming machines.

Such fraud countermeasures using an electronic tag allow fraud detection based on the reading result of the reading device. Therefore, the labor for fraud detection is less than that of visual confirmation of the sealed portion, and fraud is not overlooked. Is expected to be.

  However, even in countermeasures against fraud using an electronic tag, it is necessary to bring the reader close to the electronic tag due to weak radio waves transmitted from the electronic tag. Must be open to. Since such opening work is not different from the case of visual confirmation of the sealed location, the work period is limited such that the confirmation work cannot be performed while the gaming machine is in operation, and there is still room for improvement in terms of efficiency.

The front end of the side plate portion 276b is bent inward. The right end portion of the side plate portion 276b serves as a mounting opening 276d for slidingly mounting the box cover 277. In this case, as shown in FIG. 20, the box cover 277 is attached from the attachment opening 276d and is slid until it contacts the stepped portion 276c, so that the box cover 277 is attached at a predetermined position on the box base 276. ing.

  The box cover 277 is formed with an extending portion 277 a so as to overlap the stepped portion 276 c of the box base 276. The extension part 277a constitutes a sealing unit 279 (so-called caulking structure) as a sealing means together with the step part 276c of the box base 276. The box base 276 and the box cover 277 are connected by the sealing unit 279, and the substrate Box 273 is sealed.

  The sealing unit 279 can be applied to any structure as long as it connects the box base 276 and the box cover 277, but here, as shown in FIG. 19 and the like, a structure in which five sealing members 279a and 279b are formed. The box base 276 and the box cover 277 are connected by inserting a locking claw into the long holes of the sealing members 279a and 279b. In this case, since the latching claw cannot be removed from the sealing members 279a and 279b, it is necessary to destroy the sealing members 279a and 279b in order to open the substrate box 273. Therefore, it is possible to leave a history that the board box 273 has been unlawfully opened, and to discover that the board control 278 has been tampered with.

  The box cover 277 and the box base 276 are provided with adhesive plate portions 281 and 282 on the side opposite to the side where the sealing unit 279 is provided. It is fastened (connected) by metal screws 283 and 284 as a connector. By fastening with the metal screws 283 and 284 in this way, the act of separating the fasteners that fasten the two sticking plate portions 281 and 282 to remove the main control board 278 illegally is suppressed.

  A configuration relating to such fastening will be described with reference to longitudinal sectional views of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 shown in FIG. Screw holes 285a, 285b, 286a, and 286b are formed in the respective sticking plate portions 281 and 282 so as to penetrate the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 on both ends in the long side direction. The screw hole 285a and the screw hole 285b are formed so that the axes thereof are positioned on the same axis, and the first screw hole 285 is formed by communicating with each other. On the other hand, the screw hole 286a and the screw hole 286b are formed so that the axes thereof are located on the same axis, and these are communicated to form a second screw hole 286. In addition, the 1st screw hole 285 and the 2nd screw hole 286 are located in a line up and down in each sticking board part 281,282.

  In the first screw hole 285, a head accommodating portion 287 is formed by expanding the surface 281a (hereinafter also referred to as the first pasting surface 281a) facing the back of the pachinko machine P in the pasting plate portion 281 in a step shape. . On the other hand, in the second screw hole 286, the side of the surface 282a facing the front of the pachinko machine P (hereinafter also referred to as the second pasting surface 282a) in the sticking plate portion 282 is enlarged in a stepped shape, and the head accommodating portion 288 is formed. Is formed. The screws 283 and 284 are screwed into the head accommodating portions 287 and 288 so that the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 are accommodated. That is, one screw 283 (hereinafter also referred to as the first screw 283) is screwed from the first sticking surface 281a side, while the other screw 284 (hereinafter also referred to as the second screw 284) is the first screw 283. 2 It is screwed from the sticking surface 282a side.

  When the screws 283 and 284 are screwed, the heads 283a and 284a are screwed until they come into contact with the step portions 287a and 288a of the head accommodating portions 287 and 288, respectively. In this case, when the heads 283a and 284a are in contact with the stepped portions 287a and 288a (that is, when the fastening is completed), the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 have openings 289 and 290 (hereinafter referred to as “opening”). , Also referred to as removal side openings 289 and 290) at a position inside by a distance of X1. That is, the positions of the tops (tips) of the heads 283a and 284a are intermediate positions in the axial direction of the screw holes 285 and 286, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 21 and the like, a seal seal 300 is affixed to the affixing plate portions 281 and 282 fastened by the screws 283 and 284. In this case, as shown in FIG. 21, FIG. 22, etc., a series of upper ridges 291a, 292a are integrally formed on the upper edges of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282, and a series of them are also formed on the lower edges. Lower ridges 291b and 292b are integrally formed. And since each sticking board part 281 and 282 are fastened, while the front-end | tip of each upper side protrusion 291a and 292a mutually contact | abut, the front-end | tip of each lower side protrusion 291b and 292b mutually contact | abuts. . In addition, each of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 is formed continuously to the side end portion 293 of the box cover 277 and the side end portion 294 of the box base 276, and these side end portions 293 and 294 are formed. A partition wall on the proximal end side of each of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 is configured. That is, the upper ridges 291a and 292a, the lower ridges 291b and 292b, and the side end portions 293 and 294 function as a surrounding portion C, and the application surfaces 281a, 281b, 282a, and 282b of the application plate portions 281 and 282 are It is surrounded by the surrounding part C.

  A seal seal 300 is bent and attached in a substantially U-shape to the application surfaces 281a, 281b, 282a, and 282b surrounded by the encircling portion C. In this case, the peripheral edge of the seal seal 300 is close to the encircling portion C, and even if the seal seal 300 is to be peeled off, it is very difficult to remove the seal. By sticking the seal seal 300, almost the entire area of the sticking surfaces 281a, 281b, 282a, 282b is covered. Therefore, the removal side openings 289 and 290 in the screw holes 285 and 286 are covered with the seal seal 300.

  Next, the structure of the seal seal 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the seal seal 300, FIG. 24A is a front view showing the configuration of the seal seal 300, FIG. 24B is a rear view showing the configuration of the seal seal 300, and FIG. 26A is an explanatory diagram for explaining the positional relationship of the seal seal 300 with respect to 281a, 281b, 282a, 282b, FIG. 26A is an enlarged front view showing the periphery of the seal seal 300, and FIG. FIG. 26C is a rear view showing the periphery of the seal seal 300 in an enlarged manner. In FIG. 25, notches 307, 308, and 309 described later are omitted.

  The seal seal 300 includes a substantially rectangular base sheet 301, and an adhesive is applied to the back surface of the base sheet 301 to form an adhesive layer 302. An ID tag 303 is embedded in part of the adhesive layer 302. In FIG. 23, a release sheet 304 is shown on the back side of the adhesive layer 302. The release sheet 304 is peeled off when the sealing seal 300 is attached to the substrate box 273. By peeling the release sheet 304, the adhesive layer 302 is exposed on the back side of the seal seal 300, and the seal to the substrate box 273 is removed. Sticking is possible.

  The base sheet 301 is formed of a flexible resin film having moderate brittleness, such as a polyester film, and further has reactivity with solvents and heat. Specifically, the base sheet 301 changes color when toluene or the like having solubility with respect to the adhesive forming the adhesive layer 302 is applied to the base sheet 301. The base sheet 301 also changes color when heat equal to or higher than the temperature at which the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer 302 decreases (for example, 50 ° C.). As a result, when the solvent is applied or heat is applied to illegally peel off the sealing seal 300 from the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 of the substrate box 273, the base sheet 301 is discolored to cause a trace of the fraud. Can leave.

  The adhesive of the adhesive layer 302 has an adhesive force to such an extent that it is peeled off from the base sheet 301 when it is peeled off after being applied once, like a conventional seal seal. Therefore, when the seal seal 330 is peeled off, it cannot be applied again, and a part of the adhesive layer remains on the substrate box side. Therefore, the trace which peeled off the seal | sticker seal | sticker 330 illegally can be left.

  The ID tag 303 includes an IC chip 305 and an antenna unit 306, and the IC chip 305 is disposed near the center of the long antenna unit 306. The IC chip 305 is formed as an integrated circuit and has a control unit and a memory area. The memory area is configured by a non-volatile memory (ROM) in which data cannot be rewritten, and its storage capacity is, for example, 128 bits. ID information as identification data is stored in the memory area. Specifically, a manufacturer name (or a manufacturer unique number assigned to each manufacturer) and an ID number unique to the gaming machine are stored. Since data cannot be rewritten in the memory area of the IC chip 305, inconveniences such as unauthorized alteration of ID information can be suppressed. Furthermore, different ID information is stored in the IC chip 305 for each IC chip 305, and ID tags 303 having the same ID information are not produced. In this respect as well, fraud can be suppressed.

  The antenna portion 306 is formed of a thin metal layer such as aluminum, and the thickness thereof is thinner than the thickness of the IC chip 305. The antenna unit 306 is manufactured as an antenna pattern so that the resonance frequency is a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz. The ID information of the IC chip 305 is configured to be called by the control unit and transmitted from the antenna unit 306. The ID information transmitted from the antenna unit 306 is received and read by the reader device. Be able to.

  The ID tag 303 (antenna unit 306) is disposed obliquely on the base sheet 301 as shown in FIG. Specifically, the IC chip 305 of the ID tag 303 is disposed so as to be positioned at the center of the rectangular base sheet 301. Further, the antenna portion 306 is disposed obliquely from one corner side of the base sheet 331 to the diagonal corner side so that the antenna portion 306 is slightly shifted from the diagonal line of the base sheet 301. Therefore, the ID tag 303 is arranged so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the center of the rectangular base sheet 301, and the longitudinal direction of the antenna unit 306 intersects with both diagonal lines of the base sheet 301. In this case, the long antenna portion 306 has its longitudinal direction intersecting all the side directions of the base sheet 301. As the seal seal 300 is affixed across both the affixing plate portions 281 and 282, the antenna portion 306 also straddles both the affixing plate portions 281 and 282.

  The sealing seal 300 is formed with a large number of antenna cuts 307 arranged at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 306. The antenna cut 307 is a straight line extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 306 and penetrates from the surface side of the base sheet 301 to the back side of the adhesive layer 302 (see FIG. 24 ( In a), the antenna cut 307 is omitted). That is, the antenna cut 307 passes through the seal seal 307 in the front-rear direction in FIG. Incidentally, the direction in which the antenna cut 307 extends is a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna unit 306, and thus intersects all the side directions of the base sheet 301. Further, the antenna cut 307 is slightly hung on the antenna unit 306. In this case, since the antenna unit 306 is not divided by the antenna cut 307, no adverse effect is caused on the transmission of the ID information. Further, the antenna cut 307 located on one side of the antenna unit 306 and the antenna cut 307 located on the other side are shifted so that the antenna cuts 307 are not arranged in a straight line across the antenna unit 306. Yes. Specifically, the antenna cuts 307 located on one side of the antenna unit 306 and the antenna cuts 307 located on the other side are formed alternately along the longitudinal direction of the antenna unit 306.

  When the sealing seal 300 described above is to be peeled off from both the sticking plate portions 281 and 282, the stress associated with the peeling force is concentrated on the end of the antenna cut 307 located around the antenna portion 306, so that the antenna The base sheet 301 is broken through the notch 307, and the antenna portion 306 is divided accordingly. That is, stress concentrates on the end of the antenna cut 307 on the antenna portion 306 side, and the stress is formed by connecting the antenna cut 307 located on one side of the antenna portion 306 and the antenna cut 307 located on the other side. , The antenna unit 306 is divided. When the antenna unit 306 is divided, the ID information is not transmitted from the antenna unit 306, so that the ID information cannot be read by the reader device. Therefore, the sealing sticker 300 is carefully peeled off from both the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 to open the board box 273, and after improper the main control board 278, the board box 273 is sealed and the sealing sticker 300 is stuck again. Even so, since the antenna unit 306 is divided, the ID information cannot be read by the reader device, and the illegal act can be easily found.

  Corner cuts 308 are formed at the four corners of the seal seal 300 so as to penetrate from the surface side of the base sheet 301 to the back side of the adhesive layer 302. Specifically, the corner-side cut 308 is formed in an L shape so as to be along the corner inside the corner of the seal seal 300. Therefore, even if the seal seal 300 is not peeled off in the direction along one side but peeled from the corner side of the seal seal 300, the seal seal 300 is broken from the corner-side cut 308, leaving a trace of fraud. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 24, a large number of outer edge cuts 309 are formed on the outer edge of the seal seal 300 from the outer end to the inner side. These outer edge cuts 309 are formed in an acute V shape so as to open from the inside to the outside, and are formed at equal intervals in the direction along the outer periphery of the seal seal 300. Therefore, when the sealing seal 300 is to be peeled off from both the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 of the substrate box 273, the stress associated with the peeling force is concentrated on the inner edge of the outer edge notch 309, and the base sheet 301 is moderate as described above. Due to such brittleness, the sealing seal 300 is broken such as torn. Thereby, it is possible to leave a trace that the seal seal 300 has been peeled off, and it is possible to easily find out that an illegal act has been performed on the main control board 278.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24A, an ink application part 301a, an identification information part 301b, and a model information part 301c are provided on the surface of the base sheet 301. The ink application part 301a is applied with special ink that shows a pattern when irradiated with light of a specific wavelength such as ultraviolet rays. A plurality of alphanumeric characters (alphabetic characters or numerals) are described in the identification information portion 301b, and the alphanumeric characters described in the identification information portion 301b are different for each gaming machine. In this case, the alphanumeric characters described in the identification information portion 301b are defined in association with the ID information stored in the IC chip 305. For example, when the ID information is registered as a number, the sum of the number of the ID information and the number described in the identification information section 301b is the same in a plurality of gaming machines installed in the gaming hall H or the like. It is prescribed as follows. In the model information section 301c, the model name of the gaming machine, the manufacturer name of the gaming machine, and the like are described.

  The alphanumeric characters added to the identification information part 301b are additionally written. In the manufacturing process of the seal sticker 300, when the ID tag 303 is assembled to the seal sticker 300, alphanumeric characters are not yet attached to the identification information portion 301b, and the ID information is read by the reader device after the ID tag 303 is assembled. Then, alphanumeric characters are printed by laser marking or the like in association with the read ID information. The operation of printing alphanumeric characters on the identification information portion 301b is performed on the condition that the ID information of the ID tag 303 can be read normally, and the ID information of the ID tag 303 cannot be read normally. Is not printed with alphanumeric characters. In this case, the corresponding seal seal 300 is discarded after destroying the ID tag 303 so as not to be reused.

  Here, the upper region R1 of the seal seal 300 in FIG. 24A is affixed to the affixing plate portion 281 side of the box cover 277, more specifically, to the first affixing surface 281a. Therefore, the ink application part 301a and the identification information part 301b can be visually recognized from the front side of the main controller 271, and the confirmation work of the ink application part 301a and the identification information part 301b can be easily performed. Further, the intermediate region R2 of the seal seal 300 in FIG. 24A is affixed to the side surfaces of both the affixing plate portions 281 and 282, more specifically to the affixing surfaces 281b and 282b. Therefore, in addition to the confirmation work of the ink application part 301a and the identification information part 301b, the confirmation work of the contents described in the model information part 301c can be performed without removing the main controller 271 from the mounting base 251. The lower region R3 is attached to the attachment plate portion 282 side of the box base 276, more specifically, to the second attachment surface 282a.

  By providing the ink application part 301a and the identification information part 301b as described above, when the main control device 271 is illegally exchanged, it can be easily found that the exchange has been made. That is, even if the replaced improper main control device cannot be distinguished from the regular one in appearance, the ink application unit 301a is irradiated with light peculiarly to confirm that the pattern does not appear, or the identification information unit By visually confirming that the contents described in 301b and the model information section 301c are different, it can be found that the main control device 271 has been replaced. Further, even if the ID tag is provided on the seal sticker of the fraudulent main control device, the ID tag 303 stores ID information unique to each ID tag 303 as described above. It is possible to discover that the information has been exchanged by checking the information and the information in the identification information section 301b.

  Next, the positional relationship between the antenna portion 306 of the seal seal 300 and the screws 283 and 284 for fastening the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 26 and the like, both end portions 306a and 306b of the antenna portion 306 straddle the removal-side openings 289 and 290 in the screw holes 285 and 286 on the first attaching surface 281a and the second attaching surface 282a. Has been placed. Specifically, the dimension of the antenna portion 306 in the short direction is smaller than the hole diameter of the openings 289 and 290, and the antenna portion 306 has both ends 306 a and 306 b sandwiching the removal side openings 289 and 290. It arrange | positions so that the peripheral part of opening 289,290 may be spanned. By arranging the antenna portion 306 in this way, both end portions 306a and 306b of the antenna portion 306 are opposed to the head portions 283a and 284a of the corresponding screws 283 and 284, respectively.

  In this configuration, as described above, the top positions of the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 are midway positions in the axial direction of the screw holes 285 and 286, respectively. In other words, the top positions of the heads 283 a and 284 a are positions that enter the screw holes 285 and 286 with respect to the seal seal 300. Therefore, the antenna unit 306 and the screws 283 and 284 are separated as shown in FIG. In addition, no interposition member is provided between the antenna portion 306 and the screws 283 and 284. That is, a space S is provided between the antenna unit 306 and the screws 283 and 284. Thereby, it is prevented that the antenna part 306 contacts each screw 283,284. In particular, as described above, the antenna portion 306 is arranged so as to bridge the peripheral edge portions of the openings 289 and 290 with the removal side openings 289 and 290 interposed therebetween, so that the antenna portion 306 faces the screw holes 285 and 286. It becomes difficult to bend, and in the configuration in which the antenna portion 306 and the head portions 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 are opposed to each other, both can be reliably separated. For example, when the antenna unit 306 contacts each of the screws 283 and 284, the set resonance frequency (2.45 GHz in this embodiment) changes, and the ID information stored in the IC chip 305 is changed by the reader device. Although there is a possibility of being unable to read, according to the configuration in the present embodiment, such inconvenience can be prevented.

  As described above, the encircling portion C is formed in each of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282, and the peripheral edge of the seal seal 300 is close to the encircling portion C. Accordingly, when the sealing seal 300 is attached, the both ends 306a and 306b of the antenna portion 306 are attached to the removal side openings 289, by sticking so that the sealing seal 300 does not protrude from the region surrounded by the surrounding portion C. 290 and straddle the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 25, the region surrounded by the encircling portion C is wider than the area of the seal seal 300. As a result, when the seal sticker 300 is attached, a predetermined clearance is created at the attachment position, and the workability of the attachment work is improved. In this case, the clearance of the attaching position is formed in a range where both end portions 306a and 306b of the antenna portion 306 straddle the removal side openings 289 and 290 and face the head portions 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284. Has been. Further, as described above, since the ID tag 303 is arranged so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the center of the rectangular base sheet 301, both ends of the antenna unit 306 are provided even if the seal seal 300 is attached upside down. The parts 306a and 306b straddle the removal side openings 289 and 290, and face the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284, respectively.

  Further, in a state where the first control board unit 201 is fixed to the game board 30, the sealing seal 300 of the main controller 271 and the second plate-like antenna 556 of the game board 30 are opposed to each other through the mounting base 251. It has become. More specifically, the antenna unit 306 pasted on the back side pasting surface 282b of the box cover 277 and the second plate antenna 556 of the game board 30 are opposed to each other via the mounting base 251. Only the synthetic resin mounting base 251 is positioned between the seal seal 300 and the second plate-shaped antenna 556. For example, a metal member (conductive member) such as an electric wire is not positioned. Yes. Therefore, when radio waves are transmitted from the antenna unit 306 of the seal sticker 300, the second plate antenna 556 can receive the radio waves, and when radio waves are transmitted from the second plate antenna 556, the seal sticker 300 The antenna unit 306 can receive the radio wave.

It can be read by the reader device 601. An electrical configuration related to the ID information reading system will be described with reference to FIG.

  On the front side of the pachinko machine P, a first plate antenna 551 is provided. The first plate-shaped antenna 551 is electrically connected to the second plate-shaped antenna 556 provided on the back side of the pachinko machine P by an electric wire. Each of the plate antennas 551 and 556 has a resonance frequency set to a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz. An amplifying device 561 composed of an amplifier or the like for amplifying current is connected to an electric line connecting the first plate antenna 551 and the second plate antenna 556. The main controller 271 has a seal sticker 300 attached to a position facing the second plate antenna 556, and the antenna portion 306 and the second plate antenna 556 provided on the seal sticker 300 are attached to the mounting base 251. It comes to oppose through. The first plate antenna 551 is connected to the base frame 247 of the locking device through a ground wire, and is grounded from the locking device. The second plate antenna 556 is electrically connected to the first plate antenna 551 via the amplifying device 561, and the second plate antenna 556 is also connected to the first plate antenna 551 through the ground wire. Grounded from the locking device. That is, each of the plate antennas 551 and 556 is grounded from the locking device. A switch circuit 562 capable of switching between the ground state and the non-ground state of each of the plate antennas 551 and 556 is provided on the ground wire connecting the first plate antenna 551 and the locking device. An unlock signal output from the detection sensor 93 is input to the switch circuit 562. The detection sensor 93 outputs an unlock signal when rotation of the cam plate 92, more specifically, upward movement of the second engagement claw 92b is detected, and the unlock signal is input to the switch circuit 562. Then, each of the plate antennas 551 and 556 can be switched from the ground state to the non-ground state.

  The reader device 601 includes a CPU 606, an RF circuit 607, and a reader antenna 608 therein. The CPU 606 is connected to the RF circuit 607, and the RF circuit 607 is connected to the reader antenna 608. The CPU 606 includes a ROM that stores various control programs executed by the CPU 606 and fixed value data, and a memory that temporarily stores various data when the control program stored in the ROM is executed. Some RAM is built-in. A management computer 602 is connected to the input side and output side of the CPU 606.

  The management computer 602 includes a CPU that is arithmetic processing means. The CPU includes a ROM that stores various control programs executed by the CPU, fixed value data such as ID information of the IC chip 305 provided in each pachinko machine P, and controls stored in the ROM. A RAM for securing a work area for temporarily storing various data when executing the program is incorporated. The management computer 602 is provided with a display device, and various displays are performed on the display device based on processing in the CPU.

  Next, ID information reading work performed by a manager or the like of the game hall H will be described.

  When reading ID information, first, a key is inserted into the keyhole of the cylinder lock 91, and the inserted key is operated counterclockwise. At this time, the detection sensor 93 detects the upward movement of the second engagement claw portion 92b accompanying the key operation, and outputs an unlock signal to the switch circuit 562. When the unlocking signal is input to the switch circuit 562, the plate antennas 551 and 556 are switched from the ground state to the non-ground state.

  When an administrator or the like performs a predetermined input operation on the operation unit 601a of the reader device 601, the CPU 606 of the reader device 601 drives the RF circuit 607 to start a predetermined frequency (2.45 GHz in this embodiment) from the reader antenna 608. ) Is output. An induction electromagnetic field is formed by the ringing wave output from the reader antenna 608. Therefore, when the reader device 601 is brought close to the first plate antenna 551 to the extent that the first plate antenna 551 is positioned in the induction electromagnetic field with the key operated counterclockwise, each plate antenna 551. Since 556 is switched to the non-ground state, a ringing wave is input to the first plate antenna 551.

  Here, the main frame 12 and the front door frame 13 are respectively provided with small windows 78 and 107 at positions corresponding to the first plate antenna 551, and the front door is located in front of the first plate antenna 551. Only the transparent resin is attached to the small window 107 of the frame 13, and no metal member (conductive member) is attached. That is, a member that blocks the ringing wave output from the reader antenna 608 is not provided in front of the first plate antenna 551. In addition, the reader device 601 is configured such that a calling wave can be input to the first plate antenna 551 if the reader device 601 is brought close to the small window 107 of the front door frame 13. Therefore, in this embodiment, if the reader device 601 is brought close to the small window 107 of the front door frame 13 without opening the front door frame 13 from the main body frame 12, the calling wave is transmitted to the first plate antenna 551. Can be entered.

  When the ringing wave output from the reader device 601 is input to the first plate-shaped antenna 551, the ringing wave is converted into a current, and the electric wire connecting the first plate-shaped antenna 551 and the second plate-shaped antenna 556. Current is generated. The current generated in the electric line is amplified by the amplifying device 561, and a ringing wave having a predetermined frequency is output from the second plate antenna 556. An induction electromagnetic field is formed on the back side of the pachinko machine P by the ringing wave output from the second plate antenna 556. Within the range in which the induction electromagnetic field is formed, the seal 300 attached to the main controller 271 is included. The antenna unit 306 provided on the sealing sticker 300 of the pachinko machine P is manufactured according to the frequency of the ringing wave output from the second plate antenna 556.

  An induced electromagnetic field is formed by the ringing wave output from the second plate antenna 556, so that an electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction in the antenna unit 306. The IC chip 305 of the seal sticker 300 calls the ID information stored in the memory area using this electromotive force as a power source, and outputs a response wave including the ID information from the antenna unit 306. The output response wave is input to the second plate antenna 556. The response wave input to the second plate antenna 556 is converted into a current, reaches the first plate antenna 551, and is output from the first plate antenna 551 as a response wave including ID information.

  If the reader device 601 is in the state of being close to the first plate antenna 551 (the small window 107 of the front door frame 13), the response wave output from the first plate antenna 551 is applied to the reader antenna 608 of the reader device 601. Entered. The ID information inherent in the input response wave is read by the CPU 606 of the reader device 601, and the CPU 606 outputs the read ID information to the management computer 602. The CPU of the management computer 602 determines whether or not the input ID information matches the ID information stored in the ROM. If they match, the display device provided in the management computer 602 displays a normal display. Do. On the other hand, for example, when the main control device 271 is replaced with a fraudulent main control device, and the main control device is provided with an illegal seal seal having an ID tag, the ID tag 303 has each ID tag 303 as described above. Since the unique ID information is stored, the input ID information does not match the ID information stored in the ROM of the management computer 602. In such a case, an error is displayed on the display device of the management computer 602.

  When the main control device 271 of the pachinko machine P is replaced with an unauthorized main control device, no response wave is output because the seal seal 300 is not attached. In addition, when the board box 273 of the main controller 271 is illegally opened, the response wave is not output from the antenna unit 306 because the antenna unit 306 of the seal seal 300 is divided. In these cases, the CPU of the management computer 602 is illegal with respect to the main control device 271 in the pachinko machine P based on the fact that the ID information corresponding to the pachinko machine P for which fraud has been performed is not output from the reader device 601. Know that an action has taken place. Then, an error is displayed on the display device provided in the management computer 602.

  According to the first embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

  By providing the main control device 271 with an ID tag 303 storing ID information, it is possible to confirm whether or not an illegal act such as replacement with an unauthorized control device has been performed by reading the ID information. Can do.

  A first plate antenna 551 is provided on the front side of the game board 30, and a second plate antenna 556 is provided on the back side of the game board 30 at a position facing the antenna portion 306 of the ID tag 303. 551 and 556 are electrically connected. With this configuration, when the manager of the game hall H reads ID information, the reader device 601 is used from the front side of the pachinko machine P without opening the main body frame 12 from the outer frame 11. ID information can be read. Therefore, it is possible to easily check fraud based on reading the ID information. Since a large number of pachinko machines P are generally installed in the game hall H, the main body frame 12 is opened from the outer frame 11, and the reader device is attached to the ID tag 303 provided on the back side of the pachinko machine P. This is because, when the ID information is read by bringing 601 close, there is a concern about the complexity of the reading work.

  Since the first plate-like antenna 551 is provided in the lower right corner of the game board 30, the configuration of the pachinko machine P is complicated even when the ID information of the ID tag 303 is read from the front side of the pachinko machine P. This can be suppressed. That is, the lower right corner of the game board 30 is a space where a sticker such as a certificate is pasted, and it is desirable that the game board 30 be formed flat in order to easily check the description content of the certificate or the like. Further, when providing the first plate-like antenna 551, it is desirable to provide the first board antenna 551 at a flat position of the game board 30 so that the calling wave from the reader device 601 is reliably input. Therefore, by providing the first plate antenna 551 in the lower right corner of the game board 30, the first plate antenna 551 can be relatively easily secured while ensuring the space where the certificate paper is pasted and the visibility of the certificate paper. The game board 30 can be provided. Moreover, since the said part is outside a game area, it can also suppress that the arrangement | positioning freedom degree of the various members arrange | positioned in game areas, such as the variable prize-winning apparatus 32 and the variable display unit 35, falls. Furthermore, small windows 78 and 107 are provided in the main body frame 12 and the front door frame 13 so that a seal such as a stamp can be visually recognized from the front of the pachinko machine P, and no metal member is provided. Therefore, if the 1st plate-shaped antenna 551 is provided in the said part, the 1st plate-shaped antenna 551 can be provided, without giving a design change to the main body frame 12 or the front door frame 13. FIG. As a result, the first plate-like antenna 551 can be provided using a space where a certificate paper or the like is pasted while suppressing the configuration of the pachinko machine P from becoming complicated.

  When the first plate-like antenna 551 is provided on the front side of the game board 30, an insertion hole portion for inserting an electric wire connecting the first plate-like antenna 551 and the second plate-like antenna 556 to the back side of the game board 30. Is required. Therefore, the through hole 552 is formed in the lower right corner of the game board 30, while the through hole 552 is covered by the first plate antenna 551 when the first plate antenna 551 is attached to the game board 30. It was. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent a wire, a film, or the like from entering the back side of the game board 30 through the through hole 552, and performing fraud to the main controller 271 or the like. Further, since the first plate antenna 551 is covered with the certificate paper or the like in a state where the certificate paper or the like is attached to the lower right corner of the game board 30, not only the presence of the through hole 552 but also the first plate antenna 551 is provided. It can be difficult to grasp the existence of. Therefore, it is possible to suppress not only an illegal act using the through hole 552 but also an illegal act of inputting a radio wave toward the first plate antenna.

  When the key is operated counterclockwise with the key inserted into the keyhole of the cylinder lock 91, each plate antenna 551, 556 is switched from the ground state to the non-ground state. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to avoid a problem that the plate antennas 551 and 556 are charged and noise is generated when the reading operation is performed and the ID information cannot be read accurately. Further, since the key is generally held by the manager of the game hall H or the like, each of the plate antennas 551, 556 can be switched between a grounded state and a non-grounded state by key operation. Can be prevented from being illegally read from the ID information of the main control device 271 by switching from the ground state to the non-ground state. As a result, it is possible to suppress illegal acts such as illegally obtaining the ID information of the seal sticker 300 attached to the main control device 271 and forging the seal sticker having the ID information.

  The first plate-like antenna 551 is provided at the lower right corner of the game board 30, that is, the open end side of the pachinko machine P, and the ground wire is connected to the base frame 247 of the locking device. The plate antennas 551 and 556 can be switched from the ground state to the non-ground state. In such a configuration, the ground mechanisms of the respective plate antennas 551 and 556 can be concentrated on the open end side of the pachinko machine P, and the handling of the ground wire, the connection between the detection sensor 93 and the switch circuit 562, etc. are relatively easy. It becomes possible.

  Since the second plate-shaped antenna 556 is provided in the collection passage 216, maintenance work on the back surface of the game board 30 is facilitated while facilitating the routing of the electric wire connecting the first plate-shaped antenna 551 and the second plate-shaped antenna 556. Can be prevented from becoming complicated.

  Here, a case where the second plate antenna 556 is provided on the mounting base 251 is considered. When the maintenance work of the variable prize winning device 32 or the like is performed, the mounting base 251 (first control board unit 201) is deployed from the game board 30, so the first plate antenna 551 and the second plate antenna 556 are connected. In order to shorten the electric wire so that the electric wire can be easily routed, the second plate antenna 556 needs to be configured to be detachable from the mounting base 251. In such a configuration, it is necessary to perform the attaching / detaching operation of the second plate antenna 556 before and after the start of the maintenance operation, and there is a concern that the maintenance operation becomes complicated. In addition, there is a concern that the electric wire is damaged due to the forgetting to remove the second plate antenna 556 before the start of the maintenance work, the forgetting to attach the second plate antenna 556 at the end of the maintenance work, or the like. This also applies to a configuration in which an electric wire is attached / detached instead of the second plate antenna 556 before and after the start of the maintenance work. In order to eliminate these concerns, when the length of the electric wire is increased so that the first control board unit 201 can be deployed with the second plate antenna 556 and the electric wire attached, for example, the electric wire is entangled with other electric wires or attached. When the base 251 is fixed to the game board 30, there may be a problem such as an electric wire being sandwiched between the mounting base 251 and the game board 30.

  On the other hand, in the case of the present embodiment in which the second plate antenna 556 is provided in the collection passage 216, the length of the electric wire can be optimized, and the second plate antenna 556 and the electric wire The mounting base 251 can be expanded without performing the attaching / detaching operation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the maintenance work on the back side of the game board 30 from becoming complicated while facilitating the routing of the electric wire connecting the first plate antenna 551 and the second plate antenna 556. Become.

  Since the amplifying device 561 is connected to the electric wire connecting the first plate-shaped antenna 551 and the second plate-shaped antenna 556, the attenuation of the ringing wave output from the reader device 601 or the response wave output from the seal seal is suppressed. It becomes possible.

  The IC chip 305 is provided on the seal sticker 300 as an ID tag 303 having an antenna portion 306. The ID tag 303 is configured to output ID information by a response wave output from the antenna unit 306. When the antenna unit 306 is divided, the response wave is not output. Further, the antenna portion 306 is brittle enough to be partially broken by the stress accompanying the force that peels off the sealing seal 300. Further, in order to open the substrate box 273 of the main controller 271, the seal seal 300 needs to be peeled off. That is, according to the above configuration, when the substrate box 273 is opened, the ID information is not output from the IC chip 305 and an error display is performed. Therefore, it is possible to confirm whether or not the substrate box 273 has been opened illegally, as well as being replaced with an unauthorized main controller.

  By sticking the seal sticker 300 having the ID tag 303 to the main controller 271, even if an illegal act is performed, it is possible to find the illegal act appropriately. This is because the main control device 271 has at least a lottery function and a payout management function, and therefore, it is considered that there is a high possibility that an illegal act is performed on the main control device 271.

  In the main control device 271, the seal sticker 300 having the ID tag 303 is pasted so as to straddle the box base 276 that houses the main control board 278 and the box cover 277. In order to open the substrate box 273 in such a configuration, it is necessary to peel off the sealing seal 300 from the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 and release the screw fixing of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282. In this case, when the sealing seal 300 is peeled off from the corners, the stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates on the corners of the base sheet 301. And since the base sheet 301 has moderate brittleness (brittleness which a part is fractured | ruptured by the stress accompanying the force which peels off the sealing seal | sticker 300), the base sheet 301 will be fractured | ruptured largely. Further, since the outer edge notch 309 opened in an acute V shape from the inner side toward the outer end portion is formed on the outer edge of the seal seal 300, when the seal seal 300 is peeled from the corner, the stress accompanying the peeling force Concentrates on the inner edge (the part sharpened inward) of the outer edge notch 309, and the degree of breakage of the base sheet 301 becomes larger. Furthermore, since the seal seal 300 is bent and attached to the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 in a substantially U-shape, when the seal seal 300 is peeled off from the corner, stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates on the bent portion. Similarly, the base sheet 301 is greatly broken. In this case, there is clearly a trace that the seal seal 300 has been illegally peeled off, that is, fraud has been performed on the main control device 271 (main control board 278).

  In the case of such a configuration, a person who tries to cheat the main controller 271 peels off the entire seal seal 300 from one side along a direction perpendicular to the side, thereby applying the stress associated with the peeling force to the base sheet 301. So that the base member is not broken as much as possible. In this respect, since the antenna unit 306 is arranged so that the longitudinal direction thereof intersects all the side directions of the seal sticker 300, when the seal sticker 300 is to be peeled from the entire side, the antenna part 306 is arranged in the long side direction. Fracture occurs in the direction intersecting with. And since the antenna part 306 is elongate and the dimension of the direction which cross | intersects the longitudinal direction of the antenna part 306 is short, the antenna part 306 will be parted in the position where the fracture | rupture occurred. In this case, since the manager of the game hall H cannot check the ID information stored in the IC chip 305 by the reader device 601, it can be easily and reliably detected that the main control device 271 has been cheated. can do.

  In addition, as described above, since the antenna unit 306 is arranged so as to extend from one corner side of the base sheet 301 to the diagonal corner side thereof, the antenna unit 306 is arranged along one side of the base sheet 301. The length dimension of the antenna portion 306 is ensured to be large as compared with the provided structure. Therefore, it is possible to provide many opportunities for the antenna unit 306 to be divided when the seal seal 300 is peeled off.

  Since the IC chip 305 is arranged at substantially the center in the longitudinal direction of the antenna section 306, the antenna section 306 is arranged from one corner side of the sealing seal 300 to the diagonal corner side as described above. , The position of the IC chip 305 is near the center of the seal sticker 300. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the seal seal 300 from being easily peeled off due to the thickness of the IC chip 305. That is, since the IC chip 305 has a predetermined thickness, a gap is generated between the periphery of the IC chip 305 in the seal seal 300 and the pasting plate portions 281 and 282. In this case, when the IC chip 305 is on the outer edge side of the seal seal 300, the seal seal 300 is easily peeled by placing a finger in the gap between the outer edge and the sticking plate portions 281 and 282. In this regard, when the position of the IC chip 305 is near the center of the seal seal 300, a gap is generated between the outer edge of the seal seal 300 and the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 due to the thickness of the IC chip 305. There is no.

  Since the antenna cut 307 is formed around the antenna portion 306 in the base sheet 301, the antenna portion 306 is also cut when the base sheet 301 is broken from the end of the antenna cut 307 when the seal seal 300 is peeled off. The antenna portion 306 is divided at that position. Therefore, the antenna unit 306 is easily divided, and it is possible to more reliably perform discovery when fraud is performed on the main control device 271. In particular, by making the antenna cut 307 into a linear cut extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 306 and all the side directions of the base sheet 301, the sealing seal 300 is peeled off in a direction along one side thereof. In this case, the stress accompanying the peeling force tends to concentrate on the antenna part side end of the antenna cut 307. Thereby, the division | segmentation of the antenna part 306 when the seal seal | sticker 300 is peeled in the direction along the one side can be generated more reliably. Since the antenna cut 307 is formed up to a position reaching the antenna portion 306, the antenna portion 306 is easily divided when the seal seal 300 is illegally peeled off. Further, since the antenna cuts 307 are formed so as not to be arranged in a straight line with the antenna portion 306 interposed therebetween, for example, it is related to fraud such as when the sealing sticker 300 is attached at the time of manufacturing the pachinko machine P. When there is no antenna portion 306, it is possible to prevent the antenna notch 307 from being connected and the antenna portion 306 from being divided accordingly.

  When L-shaped corner cuts 308 that penetrate from the surface side of the base sheet 301 to the back side of the adhesive layer 302 are formed at the four corners of the seal seal 300, respectively, and the seal seal 300 is peeled off from the corner side In this case, the stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates on the end portion of the corner-side cut 308, and breakage occurs, for example, from the corner-side cut 308 to the seal seal 300. Therefore, a trace that fraud has been performed on the main control device 271 remains on the seal sticker 300, and it can be easily found that the fraud has been performed. Further, even if the seal seal 300 is peeled off in a direction along one side of the seal seal 300 in order to avoid breakage of the seal seal 300 via the corner-side cut 308, the antenna unit 306 is divided as described above. So fraud can be easily detected.

  Since the base sheet 301 is discolored when a solvent that is soluble in the pressure-sensitive adhesive constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 302 is applied to the sealing seal 300, the adhesive force of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 302 is weakened by the solvent, and the antenna portion 306 is removed. Even if the seal sticker 300 is peeled off without being divided and an illegal act is performed on the main controller 271, it is possible to easily find out that the illegal act has been performed. Similarly, when the heat of a predetermined temperature or higher is applied to the seal seal 300, the base sheet 301 is similarly discolored, so that the adhesive layer 302 has an adhesive force by applying heat of a predetermined temperature or higher. Even if the seal sticker 300 is peeled off without breaking the weak antenna portion 306 and an illegal act is performed on the main control device 271, it can be easily detected that the illegal act has been performed.

  The positions of the tops of the heads 283a and 284a in the screws 283 and 284 are midway in the axial direction of the screw holes 285 and 286, that is, the positions of the tops of the heads 283a and 284a with respect to the seal seal 300. It was comprised so that it might become a position which entered in holes 285 and 286 (position which entered the screw attachment direction side in each screw hole 285 and 286). Accordingly, the antenna unit 306 and the screws 283 and 284 can be separated from each other, and the ID information can be reliably transmitted to the reader device 601 when fraud is not performed. If the metal screws 283 and 284 are in contact with the antenna unit 306, the resonance frequency set for the antenna unit 306 changes, and transmission of ID information to the reader device 601 is hindered. It is. In this case, the ID information cannot be read even though fraud has not been performed, and as a result, the effect of providing the ID tag 303 on the seal sticker 300 cannot be obtained. On the other hand, by separating the antenna unit 306 and the screws 283 and 284 as described above, the effect of providing the ID tag 303 on the seal seal 300 can be reliably obtained.

  The antenna portion 306 is disposed so as to straddle the removal side openings 289 and 290 in the screw holes 285 and 286. This makes it difficult for the antenna portion 306 to bend into the screw holes 285 and 286, and reliably separates the antenna portion 306 and the head portions 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 from each other. Can do.

  In addition, as described above, the tops of the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 are configured to be midway in the axial direction of the screw holes 285 and 286, and both end portions 306a and 306b of the antenna unit 306 are provided. The antenna portion 306 is disposed so as to straddle the removal side openings 289 and 290 in the screw holes 285 and 286. As a result, the antenna unit 306 can be opposed to the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 in a configuration in which the antenna unit 306 and the screws 283 and 284 are separated from each other. Therefore, even if the seal seal 300 is skillfully peeled so as to expose the heads 283a and 284a in order to remove the screws 283 and 284, the portion of the seal seal 300 where the antenna unit 306 is disposed is used for that purpose. It needs to be peeled off. In such a case, since the antenna unit 306 is divided and the ID information cannot be confirmed by the reader device 601, it is possible to surely find out that the main control device 271 has been cheated.

  The dimension of the antenna portion 306 in the short direction is made smaller than the diameter of the removal side openings 289 and 290 in the screw holes 285 and 286, and the antenna portion 306 is sandwiched between the removal side openings 289 and 290. It was arranged so as to cross the periphery. As a result, when the seal seal 300 is peeled off, the stress associated with the force for peeling the seal seal 300 is easily concentrated at a position corresponding to the peripheral edge of the removal side openings 289 and 290 in the antenna portion 306. Therefore, it is possible to provide many opportunities for the antenna unit 306 to be divided, and it is possible to reliably detect that the main control device 271 has been cheated.

  Between the antenna unit 306 and the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284, there is no intervening member interposed therebetween. That is, a predetermined space S is formed between the antenna unit 306 and the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284. Further, the seal seal 300 is attached so as to cover the removal-side openings 289 and 290 in the screw holes 285 and 286, and the peripheral portions of the openings 289 and 290 are sandwiched between the openings 289 and 290 as described above. An antenna unit 306 is arranged so as to be bridged. As a result, when the seal seal 300 is peeled off to release the fastening of the screws 283 and 284 in an unauthorized manner and the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 are to be exposed, the antenna part 306 is divided. Many can be provided. That is, the seal 300 has a portion that is affixed to the affixing plate portions 281 and 282 with the peripheral edge of the removal side openings 289 and 290 as a boundary, and a portion that is not affixed. It is. In this case, when the seal seal 300 is peeled off so as to expose the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284, the portions attached to the adhesive plate portions 281 and 282 in the antenna portion 306 (sealing seal 300) are attached. This is because the stress accompanying the force to peel off the seal seal 300 is likely to concentrate on the boundary with the unattached portion. Therefore, it is possible to reliably detect that the main controller 271 has been cheated.

  The first screw 283 is screwed from the first sticking surface 281a side facing the back of the pachinko machine P, whereas the second screw 284 is screwed from the second sticking surface 282a side facing the front of the pachinko machine P. I did it. Then, the seal seal 300 is attached so as to cover the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284, and the antenna part 306 has both end parts 306a and 306b at the first attaching surface 281a and the second attaching surface 282a, respectively. It arranged so that it may be located in. Therefore, the operation of illegally releasing the fastening of the screws 283 and 284 can be complicated, and there are many opportunities for the destruction of the base sheet 301 and the division of the antenna unit 306 during the unauthorized release operation. Can be provided. This is because even if either the head 284a of the first screw 283 or the head 284a of the second screw 284 can be exposed, the other needs to be exposed.

  Further, for example, in a configuration in which both the head 283a of the first screw 283 and the head 284a of the second screw 284 are located in the same direction with respect to the boundary between the two plate portions 281 and 282, both Even if the sealing sticker 300 is pasted so as to straddle the boundary between the plate parts 281 and 282 and the antenna part 306 is arranged so as to be positioned on the first sticking surface 281a and the second sticking surface 282a, the sealing The heads 283a and 284a can be exposed only by removing the portions of the seal 300 on the removal direction side of the screws 283 and 284, that is, without removing all of the seal seal 300. In this case, the effect of sticking the seal sticker 300 as described above and further disposing the antenna unit 306 as described above is not suitably exhibited. On the other hand, since it is as above according to the structure in this Embodiment, the said effect is exhibited suitably.

  The antenna unit 306 is disposed so as to face the heads 283a and 284a of both the first screw 283 and the second screw 284. As a result, when the screws 283 and 284 are illegally released, it is possible to provide many opportunities for the antenna unit 306 to be divided. Therefore, it is possible to reliably detect that the main controller 271 has been cheated.

  The antenna unit 306 is arranged so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the center of the base sheet 301. Thus, even if the seal seal 300 is rotated 180 ° and the seal seal 300 is affixed to the application surfaces 281a, 281b, 282a, 282b, the head 283a of the first screw 283 and the head 284a of the second screw 284. The antenna unit 306 can be opposed to the other. Therefore, in the configuration in which the antenna unit 306 is opposed to the head portions 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284, workability when the seal seal 300 is attached can be improved. In particular, since the enclosure portion C is provided as described above, and the sealing seal 300 is formed in a rectangular shape, for the operator who performs the pasting operation of the sealing seal 300, the pasting surfaces 281a, 281b, The antenna portion 306 can be opposed to the head portions 283a and 284a of both screws 283 and 284 simply by sticking the seal seal 300 so as not to protrude from 282a and 282b. Further work when the seal seal 300 is attached It is possible to improve the performance.

  An encircling portion C was provided so as to enclose the pasting surfaces 281a, 281b, 282a, 282b. The enclosure C is close to the periphery of the seal 300. As a result, when the seal seal 300 is pasted, it is only necessary to bring the seal seal 300 within the region surrounded by the enclosure portion C, and the workability when the seal seal 300 is pasted can be improved. Even if the seal seal 300 is to be peeled off in order to cheat the main controller 271, the seal sticker 300 is surrounded by the enclosure portion C, so that the peeling action becomes very difficult. Therefore, the base sheet 301 is easily broken during the peeling action, and the antenna portion 306 is easily divided. Therefore, it is possible to reliably detect that the main controller 271 has been cheated. Furthermore, the enclosure portion C has both a function as a guide means and a function that makes it difficult to peel off the seal seal 300, and the above effects can be achieved while simplifying the configuration.

  When the seal seal 300 is attached to the application surfaces 281a, 281b, 282a, and 282b, the application surfaces 281a, 281b, The enclosure part C was formed so that 282a and 282b were wider than the area of the seal seal 300. Thereby, a space is created in the application position when the seal seal 300 is applied to the application surfaces 281a, 281b, 282a, and 282b, and the workability when the seal seal 300 is applied in the configuration in which the enclosure portion C is provided is improved. Can do.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the seal sticker 300 having the ID tag 303 is attached only to the main controller 271. However, the seal sticker having the ID tag also in the dispensing controller 311 in addition to the main controller 271. It is good also as a structure which pastes. This is because the payout control device 311 performs control related to payout of the game ball, so that it is possible that fraud is performed not on the main control device 271 but on the payout control device 311. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a configuration will be described in which ID information stored in a plurality of ID tags located on the back side of the pachinko machine P can be read from the front side of the pachinko machine P. In the following description, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the same components are basically denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 35, a rectangular recess is formed in the lower right corner of the game board 30, and a metal first plate antenna 701 is fitted and fixed in the recess. The first plate antenna 701 has a resonance frequency set to a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz. In addition, a metal member (conductive member) is not provided in the vicinity of the first plate antenna 701 so that the resonance frequency of the first plate antenna 701 does not change. In the game board 30, a through hole 702 that penetrates in the front-rear direction is formed at a position corresponding to the first plate antenna 701. The through hole 702 is formed to be smaller than the first plate antenna 701, and the through hole 702 is covered with the first plate antenna 701 when the first plate antenna 701 is attached to the game board 30. It has become. On the back side of the first plate antenna 701, a metal engaging portion (not shown) for connecting the electric wiring is provided, and the engaging terminal of the electric wiring is engaged with the engaging portion. In addition, the electric wiring is connected to the first plate-shaped antenna 701 by fixing with screws. The electrical wiring connected to the first plate antenna 701 is inserted into the back side of the game board 30 through the through hole 702. Further, the lower right corner of the game board 30 is a space (Sa in the figure) for attaching a seal such as a certificate, and a notch 58a is formed in the flange 56 in order to secure this attachment space. ing. By adopting a configuration in which a sticker such as a stamp is directly pasted on the game board 30, it is difficult to improperly paste the stamp or the like. At this time, at the lower right corner of the game board 30, a sticker such as a certificate is pasted on the first plate antenna 701 so as to overlap the front and rear.

  An ID seal 703 is attached to the lower right corner of the game board 30 so as to be close to the first plate antenna 701. The ID seal 703 includes an IC chip 703a and an antenna portion 703b. The IC chip 703a is formed as an integrated circuit and has a control unit and a memory area. The memory area is configured by a non-volatile memory (ROM) in which data cannot be rewritten, and its storage capacity is, for example, 128 bits. ID information as identification data is stored in the memory area. Specifically, a manufacturer name (or a manufacturer unique number assigned to each manufacturer) and an ID number unique to the game board 30 are stored. Since data cannot be rewritten in the memory area of the IC chip 703a, inconveniences such as unauthorized alteration of ID information can be suppressed. The antenna portion 703b is formed of a thin metal layer such as aluminum, and the antenna pattern is formed so that the resonance frequency is a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz, that is, the same frequency as the first plate antenna 701. The ID information of the IC chip 703a is configured to be called by the control unit and transmitted from the antenna unit 703b, and the reader device 601 receives the ID information transmitted from the antenna unit 703b. It can be read.

  A seal sticker 300 is attached to the main controller 271, and a metal second plate antenna 556 is attached and fixed to the back side of the game board 30 at a position facing the seal sticker 300. The ID tag 303 provided on the seal sticker 300 stores a manufacturer name (or a manufacturer-specific number assigned to each manufacturer) and an ID number unique to the main controller 271 as ID information. The base frame 247 of the locking device is provided with a detection sensor 93 for detecting the rotation of the cam plate 92 at a position corresponding to the cam plate 92 and to the ground wire of the first plate antenna 701. ing. Note that the shapes and positions of the detection sensor 93, the seal seal 300, and the second plate antenna 556 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  Next, the configuration of the second control board unit 202 will be described with reference to FIGS. 36 is a front view of the second control board unit 202, FIG. 37 is a perspective view of the unit 202, and FIG. 38 is an exploded perspective view of the unit 202.

  The second control board unit 202 has a horizontally long mounting base 325, and a power source and launch control device 313 and a CR unit connection board 314 are mounted on the mounting base 325. The mounting base 325 is made of, for example, a colorless and transparent resin molded product, and a flat substrate mounting surface 326 is provided on the surface thereof. On the board mounting surface 326, the power supply and launch control device 313 and the CR unit connection board 314 are mounted side by side and fixed with screws or the like. A substantially flat pedestal plate 711 is mounted on the substrate box 316 of the power supply and launch control device 313, and a payout control device 311 is mounted on the pedestal plate 711 and fixed with screws or the like. The pedestal plate 711 is formed of, for example, a colorless and transparent resin molded product, like the mounting base 325.

  The mounting base 325 is provided with a pair of upper and lower latching pins 328 at the right end when viewed from the rear of the pachinko machine P. By inserting the latching pins 328 into the bearing portion 237 of the main body frame 12 from above, the second The control board unit 202 is cantilevered so as to be rotatable with respect to the main body frame 12. A pair of upper and lower nai latches 329 are provided as fasteners at the left end of the mounting base 325, and the second control board unit 202 is fixed to the main body frame 12 by fitting the ny latch 329 into the fastening holes 239 of the main body frame 12. Is done.

  The payout control device 311 includes a payout control board that controls the payout of prize balls and lending balls, and the payout control board is accommodated in a substrate box 315 as an enclosing means made of a transparent resin material or the like. ing. The substrate box 315 includes a box base 317 and a box cover 318, which are connected to each other by a sealing unit 319 as sealing means so that the substrate box 315 is sealed. Further, the payout control device 311 is provided with a state return switch 321. For example, when the state return switch 321 is pressed when a payout error occurs, such as a ball clogging of the payout motor, the payout motor is rotated forward and backward. Ball clogging can be eliminated (return to normal state).

  A seal seal 706 is attached to the upper portion of the payout control device 311 so as to straddle the box base 317 and the box cover 318. That is, the seal seal 706 is pasted from the front side of the box cover 318 across the contact surface between the box cover 318 and the box base 317 and to the back side of the box base 317.

  The seal seal 706 has the same configuration as the seal seal 300 attached to the main controller 271. For this reason, although a detailed description is omitted, the seal seal 706 includes an ID tag 707 having an IC chip 707a and an antenna portion 707b as shown in FIG. 38, for example. In the IC chip 707a, a manufacturer name (or a manufacturer unique number assigned to each of a plurality of manufacturers) and an ID number unique to the payout control device 311 are stored as ID information. The pattern of the antenna unit 707b is formed so that the resonance frequency thereof is a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz, that is, the same as the antenna pattern of the antenna unit 306 of the main controller 271 (sealing seal 300). .

  The pedestal plate 711 is provided with a metal third plate antenna 721 so as to be positioned above the seal seal 706. More specifically, a pair of left and right antenna placement portions 712 are formed on the upper portion of the base plate 711. The antenna placement portion 712 is substantially L-shaped from a leg portion 712a formed so as to stand up from the pedestal plate 711 and a placement portion 712b extending from the distal end portion of the leg portion 712a toward the payout control device 311 side. Is formed. Both mounting portions 712b are formed with guide grooves 712c so as to face each other. The guide groove 712c is open on the mounting base 325 side and closed on the payout control board 311 side. That is, the antenna mounting portion 712 is formed on the pedestal plate 711 so that the third plate antenna 721 can be slidably mounted from the mounting base 325 side. Since the antenna mounting portion 712 is molded from a synthetic resin, the third plate antenna 721 is another metal member (conductive) when the third plate antenna 721 is mounted on the antenna mounting portion 712. It will be spaced apart from the (member). The third plate antenna 721 has a resonance frequency set to a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz, that is, the same frequency as the first plate antenna 701 and the second plate antenna 556.

  Since the configuration of the power supply and launch control device 313 and the CR unit connection board 314 is the same as that of the first embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the ID information of the ID tags 303 and 707 provided on the back side of the pachinko machine P is displayed on the front surface of the pachinko machine P without opening the main body frame 12 and the front door frame 13 from the outer frame 11. It can be read by the reader device 601 from the side. An electrical configuration related to the ID information reading system will be described with reference to FIG.

  On the front side of the pachinko machine P, a first plate antenna 701 and an ID seal 703 are provided. The first plate antenna 701 is electrically connected to the second plate antenna 556 and the third plate antenna 721 provided on the back side of the pachinko machine P via a flow dividing device 726. Each of the plate-like antennas 701, 556, 721 and the ID seal antenna portion 703b is set to a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz. The shunting device 726 amplifies the current input from the first plate antenna 701 and outputs it simultaneously to the second plate antenna 556 and the third plate antenna 721, and the second plate antenna 556 or the second plate antenna 556. And a function of outputting a current input from the three-plate antenna 721 to the first plate-shaped antenna 701.

  The main controller 271 has a seal sticker 300 affixed to a position facing the second plate antenna 556, and the antenna portion 306 and the second plate antenna 556 provided on the seal sticker 300 attach the mounting base 251. It comes to oppose through. Further, a seal seal 706 is attached to the payout control device 311 at a position facing the third plate antenna 721, and the antenna portion 707b provided on the seal seal 706 and the third plate antenna 721 face each other. It is supposed to be.

  The first plate antenna 701 is connected to a base frame 247 of the locking device through a ground wire, and is grounded from the locking device. The second plate-shaped antenna 556 and the third plate-shaped antenna 721 are electrically connected to the first plate-shaped antenna 701 via the flow dividing device 726, and the second plate-shaped antenna 556 and the third plate-shaped antenna 721 are connected. Also, the locking device is grounded through a ground wire connected to the first plate antenna 701. That is, each of the plate antennas 701, 556, 721 is grounded from the locking device. A switch circuit 562 capable of switching between a ground state and a non-ground state of each of the plate antennas 701, 556, and 721 is provided on the ground wire connecting the first plate antenna 701 and the locking device. An unlock signal output from the detection sensor 93 is input to the switch circuit 562. The detection sensor 93 outputs an unlock signal when rotation of the cam plate 92, more specifically, upward movement of the second engagement claw 92b is detected, and the unlock signal is input to the switch circuit 562. Then, each of the plate antennas 701, 556, 721 can be switched from the ground state to the non-ground state.

  The configurations of the reader device 601 and the management computer 602 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  Next, the reading operation of each ID information performed by the manager of the game hall H will be described.

  When reading each ID information, first, a key is inserted into the keyhole of the cylinder lock 91, and the inserted key is operated counterclockwise. At this time, the detection sensor 93 detects the upward movement of the second engagement claw portion 92b accompanying the key operation, and outputs an unlock signal to the switch circuit 562. When the unlock signal is input to the switch circuit 562, each of the plate antennas 701, 556, and 721 is switched from the ground state to the non-ground state.

  When an administrator or the like performs a predetermined input operation on the operation unit 601a of the reader device 601, the CPU 606 of the reader device 601 drives the RF circuit 607 to start a predetermined frequency (2.45 GHz in this embodiment) from the reader antenna 608. ) Is output. An induction electromagnetic field is formed by the ringing wave output from the reader antenna 608. Therefore, when the reader device 601 is brought close to the first plate antenna 701 to such an extent that the first plate antenna 701 is positioned in the induction electromagnetic field with the key operated counterclockwise, each plate antenna 701, Since 556 and 721 are switched to the non-ground state, a ringing wave is input to the first plate antenna 701.

  At this time, when the reader device 601 is brought close to the induction electromagnetic field so that not only the first plate antenna 701 but also the ID seal 703 is located, an electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction in the antenna portion 703b of the ID seal 703. To do. The IC chip 703a uses the electromotive force as a power source, calls ID information stored in the memory area, and outputs a response wave including the ID information from the antenna unit 703b.

  If the reader device 601 is close to the ID seal 703 (the small window 107 of the front door frame 13), the response wave output from the antenna portion 703b of the ID seal 703 is input to the reader antenna 608 of the reader device 601. The The ID information inherent in the input response wave is read by the CPU 606 of the reader device 601, and the CPU 606 outputs the read ID information to the management computer 602. The CPU of the management computer 602 determines whether or not the input ID information matches the ID information stored in the ROM. If they match, the display device provided in the management computer 602 displays a normal display. Do. On the other hand, when the input ID information does not match the ID information stored in the ROM, an error display is performed on the display device.

  When the ringing wave output from the reader device 601 is input to the first plate antenna 701, the ringing wave is converted into a current, and the current is applied to the electric wire connecting the first plate antenna 701 and the shunt device 726. Arise. The shunt device 726 amplifies the current input from the first plate antenna 701 and outputs a current larger than the input current to the second plate antenna 556 and the third plate antenna 721, respectively. As a result, ringing waves having a predetermined frequency are output from the second plate-shaped antenna 556 and the third plate-shaped antenna 721. An induction electromagnetic field is formed on the back side of the pachinko machine P by the ringing waves output from the plate antennas 556 and 721. Within the range of the induction electromagnetic field formed by the ringing wave output from the second plate antenna 556, the seal 300 attached to the main controller 271 is included, and from the third plate antenna 721, Within the range of the induction electromagnetic field formed by the output ringing wave, a seal seal 706 attached to the payout control device 311 is included. The antenna portions 306 and 707b provided on the seal seals 300 and 706 are produced in accordance with the frequency of the ringing wave output from the corresponding plate antennas 556 and 721.

  An induced electromagnetic field is formed by the ringing wave output from the second plate antenna 556, so that an electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction in the antenna unit 306. The IC chip 305 of the seal sticker 300 calls the ID information stored in the memory area using this electromotive force as a power source, and outputs a response wave including the ID information from the antenna unit 306. The output response wave is input to the second plate antenna 556. The response wave input to the second plate antenna 556 is converted into a current, reaches the first plate antenna 551, and is output from the first plate antenna 551 as a response wave including ID information.

  Similarly, an induced electromagnetic field is formed by the ringing wave output from the third plate antenna 721, so that an electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction in the antenna portion 707b. The IC chip 707a of the seal seal 706 calls the ID information stored in the memory area using the electromotive force as a power source, and outputs a response wave including the ID information from the antenna unit 707b. This output response wave is input to the third plate antenna 721. The response wave input to the third plate antenna 721 is converted into current and reaches the first plate antenna 701, and is output from the first plate antenna 701 as a response wave including ID information.

  If the reader device 601 is in the state of being close to the first plate-shaped antenna 701 (the small window 107 of the front door frame 13), the response wave output from the first plate-shaped antenna 701, that is, the seal seal of the main control device 271. 300 or the response wave output from the seal seal 706 of the payout control device 311 is input to the reader antenna 608 of the reader device 601. The ID information inherent in the input response wave is read by the CPU 606 of the reader device 601, and the CPU 606 outputs the read ID information to the management computer 602. The CPU of the management computer 602 determines whether or not the input ID information matches the ID information stored in the ROM. If they match, the display device provided in the management computer 602 displays a normal display. Do. On the other hand, for example, when the main control device 271 is replaced with a fraudulent main control device, and the main control device is provided with an illegal seal seal having an ID tag, the ID tag 303 has each ID tag 303 as described above. Since the unique ID information is stored, the input ID information does not match the ID information stored in the ROM of the management computer 602. In such a case, an error is displayed on the display device of the management computer 602.

  Further, when at least one of the main control device 271 or the payout control device 311 is replaced with an unauthorized control device, a seal seal is not attached to the replaced unauthorized control device. The corresponding response wave is not output. In addition, when the board boxes 273 and 315 of the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 are illegally opened, the antenna portions 306 and 707b of the seal seals 300 and 706 are divided, and the antenna portions 306 and 707b are separated from each other. No response wave is output. In these cases, the CPU of the management computer 602 performs an illegal act on the control device of the pachinko machine P based on the fact that the ID information corresponding to the control device on which the fraud has been performed is not output from the reader device 601. Know that. Then, an error is displayed on the display device provided in the management computer 602.

  In the management computer 602, the ID information of the ID seal 703, the ID information of the main control device 271 and the ID information of the payout control device 311 can be associated with each pachinko machine P and stored in the ROM. is there. In the case of such a configuration, for example, the main control device 271 is replaced with an unauthorized main control device, and a seal sticker storing regular ID information in another pachinko machine P is pasted on the unauthorized main control device. Even if it is, since the association is different, it is possible to discover that an illegal act has been performed on the control device of the pachinko machine P.

  According to the second embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  By providing ID tags 303 and 707 in which ID information is stored in the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311, an illegal act such as replacement to an unauthorized control device is performed by reading the ID information. It can be confirmed whether or not.

  A first plate antenna 701 is provided on the front side of the game board 30, and a second plate antenna 556 is provided on the back side of the game board 30 at a position facing the antenna portion 306 of the ID tag 303, and the ID tag 707. A third plate antenna 721 is provided at a position facing the antenna portion 707b. The first plate antenna 701, the second plate antenna 556, and the third plate antenna 721 are electrically connected. With this configuration, when the manager of the game hall H reads ID information, the reader device 601 is used from the front side of the pachinko machine P without opening the main body frame 12 from the outer frame 11. Thus, the ID information of each of the control devices 271 and 311 can be read. Therefore, it is possible to easily check fraud based on reading each ID information. Since a large number of pachinko machines P are generally installed in the game hall H, the main body frame 12 is opened from the outer frame 11, and the ID tags 303 and 707 provided on the back side of the pachinko machine P are attached. This is because when the reader device 601 is brought close to each other to read the ID information, there is a concern about the complexity of the reading operation.

  By providing the second plate antenna 556 and the third plate antenna 721 at positions facing the antenna portions 306 and 707b of the ID tags 303 and 707, the positions at which the control devices 271 and 311 are arranged, and the sealing seals 300, It is possible to reduce the occurrence of restrictions on the position where 706 is pasted.

  Certainly, if each sealing seal 300, 706 is included in the range of the induction electromagnetic field formed by the ringing wave output from the second plate antenna 556, the third plate antenna 721 is not provided. The ID information of the ID tags 303 and 707 can be read from the front side of the pachinko machine P. However, in such a configuration, the arrangement positions of the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311, the sticking positions of the seal seals 300 and 706, and the arrangement position of the second plate antenna 556 are limited. Not only the layout of the above but also the layout of other members may need to be significantly changed. Further, for example, if the main control device 271 and the dispensing control device 311 are arranged so as to overlap each other, and the sealing seals 300 and 706 are attached to the same side of the control devices 271 and 311, 1 It becomes possible to read the ID information of the ID tags 303 and 707 with the plate antenna. However, when such a configuration is used, the visibility of the control device arranged on the front side is lowered. For example, when maintenance work or the like on the back side of the pachinko machine P is performed, the control devices 271 and 311 are illegally operated. It will be difficult to visually check whether it has been broken. On the other hand, when the plate-like antennas 556 and 721 corresponding to the seal seals 300 and 706 are provided, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of each of the above concerns. Therefore, the sealing seals 300 and 706 and the plate-like antennas 556 and 721 can be provided while preventing the configuration of the pachinko machine P from becoming complicated.

  The second plate-shaped antenna 556 and the third plate-shaped antenna 721 are configured to be electrically connected to the first plate-shaped antenna 701 via a flow dividing device 726. The shunting device 726 has a function of simultaneously outputting the current input from the first plate antenna 701 to the second plate antenna 556 and the third plate antenna 721, and the second plate antenna 556 or the third plate shape. And a function of outputting a current input from the antenna 721 to the first plate antenna 701. For this reason, the ID information of each of the control devices 271 and 311 can be read together if the operation of outputting the response wave by bringing the reader device 601 close to the first plate antenna 701 is performed once. That is, a plurality of ID information can be simultaneously read in one work process of outputting a calling wave from the reader device 601. Therefore, even for the pachinko machine P to which a plurality of ID tags are pasted, it is possible to suitably suppress the complexity of reading ID information.

  Since the ID seal 703 is attached to the lower right corner of the game board 30 so as to be close to the first plate antenna 551, if a response wave is output by bringing the reader device 601 close to the first plate antenna 551, the pachinko Not only ID information of ID tags 303 and 707 provided on the back side of the machine P but also ID information of an ID seal 703 provided on the front side of the pachinko machine P can be read. Therefore, it is possible to suitably suppress the complexity of the ID information reading operation. That is, by placing the ID seal 703 and the first plate-shaped antenna 701 close together so as to be positioned within the range of the induction electromagnetic field formed by the calling wave from the reader device 601, the calling wave from the reader device 601. 1 is performed, not only the ID information of the ID tags 303 and 707 provided on the back side of the pachinko machine P but also the ID information of the ID seal 703 provided on the front side of the pachinko machine P is obtained. Can be read at the same time.

  Needless to say, with respect to the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, the same effect as that described in the first embodiment can also be achieved in the present embodiment.

(Third embodiment)
In the first embodiment, a space outside the game area of the game board 30 is used to receive radio waves output from the reader device 601 or transmit radio waves output from the antenna unit 306 of the ID tag 303. Although the first plate-like antenna 551 is provided, it is also possible to install an antenna portion in the game area. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a description will be given of a configuration in which an antenna unit is provided in an operating port device arranged in a game area. In the following description, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the same components are basically denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

  The structure of the working port apparatus 750 in this Embodiment is demonstrated based on FIG. 40 (a) is a front view of the operating port device 750, and FIG. 40 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the main part in a state where the operating port device 750 is attached to the game board 30. The game board 30 has a mounting hole 30a penetrating back and forth at a position where the operating port device 750 is attached, and the operating port device 750 is attached so as to close the mounting hole 30a.

  The operating port device 750 has an attachment fixing portion 751 for being attached and fixed to the game board 30. The attachment fixing portion 751 is formed of a synthetic resin material, and an upper operation port 752 penetrating through the attachment fixing portion 751 in the front-rear direction is formed in the upper portion of the attachment fixing portion 751. The upper working port 752 is provided with a working port passage rod 752a integrally formed of metal. The operating port passage rod 752a is formed so as to extend from the front side to the back side of the game board 30, and a ball discharge hole 752b is formed at the rear end portion of the lower surface. The working port passage rod 752a has an outer surface area so that the resonance frequency becomes a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz, and a metal engaging portion 752c is formed on the rear end wall portion of the working port passage rod 752a. Is provided. The engagement portion 752c has an engagement terminal of an electric wire 753 and an engagement terminal of a ground wire (not shown) fixed with screws. The electric wire 753 is connected to a second plate antenna 556 described later, and the ground wire is connected to the base frame 247 of the locking device as in the first embodiment. That is, in the present embodiment, the function of guiding the game ball won in the upper operation port 752 to the rear side of the game board 30 is received in the operation port passage rod 752a of the operation port device 750 and the radio wave of the constant frequency is received or received. And a function as an antenna unit for transmission. In the working port device 750 in the present embodiment, other metal members (conductive members) are arranged away from the working port passage rod 752a so that the resonance frequency of the working port passage rod 752a does not change. The operating port passage rod 752a may be configured by combining a plurality of metal members.

  Below the upper working port 752, a lower working port 756 that penetrates the mounting and fixing portion 751 in the front-rear direction is formed, and an electric accessory 757 including a pair of left and right movable pieces is provided so as to sandwich the lower working port 756. It has been. An accessory fixing plate 758 is provided in front of the electric accessory 757, and a motor device 757a having an operation port solenoid for opening the electric accessory 757 is attached to the back side of the attachment fixing portion 751. Yes.

  The operating port device 750 is configured such that the mounting and fixing portion 751 and the operating port passage rod 752a protrude from the front side of the game board 30, and the operating port passage rod 752a and the motor device 757a are provided on the back side of the game board 30. It is attached to the mounting hole 30a of the game board 30 so as to protrude. That is, the operating port device 750 is attached so as to penetrate the game board 30 forward and backward. In addition, a recovery passage 216 for collecting the game balls discharged from the ball discharge hole 752b of the operation port passage 752a is provided on the back surface of the game board 30 below the operation port passage 752a. The recovery passage 216 is provided with an operation port switch 759 for detecting a game ball won in the operation port passage rod 752a. In the present embodiment, the operation port switch 759 and the main control device 271 are electrically connected by an electric wire 760 having a 2-pin structure connector, and connected to the electric wire 760 and the operation port passage rod 752a. The electric wire 753 is bundled by a bundling member 761.

  Next, in the present embodiment, the second plate antenna 556 is provided not on the collection passage 216 but on the mounting base 771 of the first control board unit 201. Therefore, the configuration of the mounting base 771 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 41 is an exploded perspective view of the unit 201.

  The mounting base 771 is made of synthetic resin such as polycarbonate resin, and two flat substrate mounting surfaces 772 and 773 are provided on the surface of the mounting base 771. These substrate mounting surfaces 772 and 773 extend in a direction perpendicular to the vertical and horizontal directions, and are formed with a step in the front-rear direction. Standing portions 774 standing from the substrate mounting surface 772 are integrally formed on the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion of the substrate mounting surface 772, respectively. The main controller 271 is disposed on the horizontally long board mounting surface 772 and the sound lamp controller 272 is disposed on the vertically long board mounting surface 773. At this time, the main controller 271 is supported by the upright portions 774 at the upper and lower sides.

  On the open end side of the board mounting surface 772, an attachment fixing portion 775 is formed at a position corresponding to the seal seal 300 of the main controller 271, and the second plate antenna 556 is attached and fixed to the attachment fixing portion 775. It has become so. The mounting fixing portion 775 is formed from a recessed portion 775a formed in a step shape from the board mounting surface 772 toward the rear of the mounting base 771 (in the state of being mounted on the game board 30), and from the recess 775a. It is formed by a pair of upper and lower antenna support portions 775b that protrudes toward the end side. The width dimension between the board mounting surface 772 and the second antenna mounting surface of the mounting fixing portion 775 is substantially the same as or slightly larger than the thickness dimension of the second plate antenna 556, and the second plate is attached to the mounting base 771. The second plate antenna 556 and the antenna portion 306 of the seal seal 300 attached to the main controller 271 are close to each other in a state where the antenna 556 and the main controller 271 are attached.

  Further, the electric wires 753 and 760 bundled by the bundling member 761 are released from the bundling state in the vicinity of the mounting base 771, and the electric wires 753 connected to the operation port passage rod 752a are The electric wire 760 connected to the second plate antenna 556 and connected to the operation port switch 759 is inserted into the connector portion 777 of the main controller 271.

  The electrical configuration related to the ID information reading system is the same as that in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the glass 137 is only provided in front of the working port device 750, and no metal member is disposed. Accordingly, as in the first embodiment, the ID information can be read by the reader device 601 from the front side of the pachinko machine P without opening the main body frame 12 and the front door frame 13 from the outer frame 11. ing.

  According to the third embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are produced.

  Since the function as the antenna unit is given to the operation port passage rod 752a of the operation port device 750, even when the antenna unit is provided in the game area, the variable display unit 35 and the like arranged in the game area It becomes possible to suppress that the design freedom regarding the arrangement position of various members falls.

  Since the function as an antenna part is given to the operating port passage 750a penetrating the game board 30 forward and backward, the electric wire 753 and the ground wire are connected to the rear end wall portion of the operating port passage 750a. The insertion hole for inserting the electric wire as shown in the embodiment to the back side of the game board 30 becomes unnecessary. In addition, since an attachment hole 30a for attaching the operation port device 750 is formed in advance at a position corresponding to the operation port device 750 of the game board 30, an operation port as an antenna portion can be formed without newly forming an insertion hole. The passage rod 752a and the second plate antenna 556 can be connected by an electric wire 753. Therefore, it is possible to relatively easily realize a configuration in which the antenna unit arranged on the front side of the pachinko machine P and the antenna unit arranged on the back side are connected by electric wires.

  Since the second plate antenna 556 is provided on the mounting base 771 of the first control board unit 201, the ID tag 303 of the main control device 271 and the second plate antenna 556 can be disposed close to each other. Therefore, the ringing wave transmitted from the second plate antenna 556 cannot be received by the antenna unit 306 of the ID tag 303, or the response wave transmitted from the antenna unit 306 of the ID tag 303 is received by the second plate antenna 556. It is possible to avoid the occurrence of problems that cannot be performed. In addition, since the electric wire 760 connected to the operating port switch 759 is connected to the connector portion 777 of the main controller 271, this configuration allows the electric wire 760 connected to the operating port switch 759 to The electric wires 753 connected to the working port passageway 752a can be collectively routed to the mounting base 771 side, and the connecting work of these electric wires 753 and 760 can be facilitated.

  The electric wire 753 connected to the operating port passage rod 752a and the electric wire 760 connected to the operating port switch 759 are bundled by a bundling member 761. With this configuration, the electric wires 753 and 760 can be handled as one electric wire unit, and the back side of the pachinko machine P is complicated by the electric wires while facilitating the handling of the electric wires 753 and 760. This can be suppressed.

  Further, by bundling these electric wires 753 and 760 with a bundling member 761, when performing maintenance work of the variable prize winning device 32 or the like, forgetting to remove the second plate antenna 556 from the mounting base 771, It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem of forgetting to remove the electric wire 753 from the plate antenna 556. When the electric wire 760 connected to the operation port switch 759 is removed from the connector portion 777 of the main controller 271, the second plate antenna 556 or the electric wire 753 connected to the second plate antenna 556 is removed from the mounting base 771. This is because the operator can be made aware that it must be removed.

  Needless to say, with respect to the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, the same effect as that described in the first embodiment can also be achieved in the present embodiment.

The recovery passage 216 is provided with an operation port switch 809 that detects a game ball won in the operation port passage rod 802a. In the present embodiment, an electric wire 810 having a connector portion having a 2-pin structure is connected to the operating port switch 809, and the electric wire connected to the other end portion of the electric wire 810 and the first plate antenna 811. The other end portion of 812 is combined into one by a connector member 813 having a 3-pin structure. These electric wires 810 and 812 are connected to the main controller 271 via a connector member 813. That is, in the present embodiment, when the first plate antenna 811 receives the ringing wave, the current generated at that time is input to the main controller 271. The ground wire connected to the first plate-shaped antenna 811 is connected to the base frame 247 of the locking device as in the first embodiment.

  Next, the configuration of the main controller 271 will be described with reference to FIGS. 43 and 44. FIG. 43 is a perspective view of the main controller 271, and FIG. 44 is an exploded perspective view of the main controller 271. In addition, the same number is attached | subjected about the same structure as the said 1st Embodiment. Further, the configuration of the seal seal 300 and the position where the seal seal 300 is attached to the main controller 271 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  The main control device 271 includes a main control board 278, and the main control board 278 is accommodated in a board box 273 as an enclosing means made of a transparent resin material or the like.

  The main control board 278 is composed of a front side surface on which electronic parts such as a digital circuit are mounted, and a back side surface electrically connected to the front side surface via via holes, and a conductor pattern is printed on each side surface. The double-sided printed circuit board. The main control board 278 includes a CPU that controls the main control, a ROM that stores a game program, a RAM that stores necessary data according to the progress of the game, a port for communicating with various devices, and a random number used in various lotteries. A generator, a clock pulse generating circuit used for time counting and synchronization, and the like are provided. Hereinafter, the configuration of the front side surface of the main control board 278 will be described. As shown in FIG. 44, a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM are mounted as a single chip on a CPU chip 278a on the central right portion of the main control board 278. An input / output driver IC chip 278b is mounted on the upper center of the main control board 278, and a latching IC chip 278c is mounted on the lower left of the main control board 278. A second plate antenna 821 is mounted on the right part of the main control board 278 so as to face the antenna part 306 of the seal seal 300. The second plate antenna 821 is manufactured such that its resonance frequency is a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz.

  A connector mounting area is formed in the upper part of the main control board 278, and connectors 822 to 824 for connecting to other electronic devices such as the operation port switch 809 and the display control device 214 are mounted in the area. Yes.

  In the present embodiment, the connector member 813 provided on the electric wire 810 connected to the operation port switch 809 and the electric wire 812 connected to the first plate antenna 811 is located at the upper center of the main control board 278. It is connected to the provided connector 823 (hereinafter also referred to as “central connector 823”). Although not shown, between the central connector 823 and the CPU chip 278a, two conductor patterns that connect the electric wire 810 connected to the operation port switch 809 and the CPU chip 278a are printed in advance. Between the connector 823 and the second plate antenna 821, one conductor pattern connecting the electric wire 812 connected to the first plate antenna 811 and the second plate antenna 821 is printed in advance. However, the conductor pattern connecting the electric wire 812 connected to the first plate antenna 811 and the CPU chip 278a is not printed on the main control board 278. That is, the current generated in the first plate antenna 811 is input to the main control board 278, but is input to the second plate antenna 821 without passing through the CPU chip 278a.

  The board box 273 includes a box base 276 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and a box cover 277 covering the opening of the box base 276.

  In the box base 276, a side plate portion 276b is formed on the long side of the bottom plate portion 276a, and a step portion 276c is formed on one side of the short side so as to be continuous with the side plate portion 276b. The front end of the side plate portion 276b is bent inward. The right end portion of the side plate portion 276b serves as a mounting opening 276d for slidingly mounting the box cover 277. Holes 822a to 824a are formed at positions corresponding to the connector mounting area in the box cover 277, and the connector member 813 and the like can be connected to the connector of the main control board 278 without opening the box cover 277 from the box base 276. It can be connected to 822-824.

  The box cover 277 is formed with an extending portion 277 a so as to overlap the stepped portion 276 c of the box base 276. The extension part 277a constitutes a sealing unit 279 (so-called caulking structure) as a sealing means together with the step part 276c of the box base 276. The box base 276 and the box cover 277 are connected by the sealing unit 279, and the substrate Box 273 is sealed.

  As long as the sealing unit 279 is configured to connect the box base 276 and the box cover 277, any configuration can be applied. However, as in the first embodiment, a configuration in which five sealing members 279a and 279b are formed. The box base 276 and the box cover 277 are connected by inserting a locking claw into the long holes of the sealing members 279a and 279b. In this case, since the latching claw cannot be removed from the sealing members 279a and 279b, it is necessary to destroy the sealing members 279a and 279b in order to open the substrate box 273. Therefore, it is possible to leave a history that the board box 273 has been unlawfully opened, and to discover that the board control 278 has been tampered with.

  The box cover 277 and the box base 276 are provided with adhesive plate portions 281 and 282 on the side opposite to the side where the sealing unit 279 is provided. It is fastened (connected) by metal screws 283 and 284 as a connector. By fastening with the metal screws 283 and 284 in this way, the act of separating the fasteners that fasten the two sticking plate portions 281 and 282 to remove the main control board 278 illegally is suppressed. A seal seal 300 is affixed to the affixing plate portions 281 and 282 fastened by the screws 283 and 284.

  The electrical configuration related to the ID information reading system is the same as that of the first embodiment except that a conductor pattern connecting the first plate antenna 811 and the second plate antenna 821 is printed on the main control board 278 in advance. Since it is the same as a form, description is abbreviate | omitted. In addition, the glass 137 is only provided in front of the working port device 750, and no metal member is disposed. Accordingly, as in the first embodiment, the ID information can be read by the reader device 601 from the front side of the pachinko machine P without opening the main body frame 12 and the front door frame 13 from the outer frame 11. ing.

  According to the fourth embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are achieved.

  Since the first plate-shaped antenna 811 is provided in the mounting and fixing portion 801 of the operating port device 800, the variable display arranged in the game area even when the first plate-shaped antenna 811 is provided in the game area. It becomes possible to suppress that the design freedom regarding the arrangement position of various members, such as the unit 35, falls.

  A first plate-shaped antenna 811 is provided in the operating port device 800 that penetrates the game board 30 back and forth. Since a mounting hole 30a for attaching the operating port device 750 is formed in advance at a position corresponding to the operating port device 750 of the game board 30, an electric wire as shown in the first embodiment is connected to the game board. The electric wire 812 and the ground wire connected to the first plate antenna 811 can be inserted into the back side of the game board 30 without newly providing an insertion hole for insertion through the back side of the game board 30. Therefore, a configuration in which the first plate antenna 811 arranged on the front side of the pachinko machine P and the second plate antenna 821 arranged on the back side are connected by the electric wire 812 can be realized relatively easily. Become.

  A second plate antenna 821 is provided on the main control board 278, and the second plate antenna 821 is accommodated in the board box 273. With this configuration, the second plate-shaped antenna 821 and the antenna portion 306 of the seal seal 300 can be disposed close to each other. Further, as long as the substrate box 273 is not opened, that is, the sealing seal 300 is not peeled off from the substrate box 273, the positional relationship between the second plate antenna 821 and the antenna portion 306 of the sealing seal 300 can be maintained. Therefore, as compared with the configuration in which the second plate antenna 821 is provided outside the substrate box 273, the transmission / reception state between the second plate antenna 821 and the antenna portion 306 of the seal seal 300 can be suitably maintained. . Further, by providing the second plate antenna 821 on the main control board 278, the layout or the like of members or devices other than the management target (that is, the main control device 271) managed by the ID tag 303 of the seal seal 300 can be changed. Alternatively, the second plate antenna 821 can be provided. Therefore, it can suppress that the arrangement | positioning freedom degree of the various members provided in the pachinko machine P back side falls.

  Furthermore, as described in the first embodiment, in the configuration in which the second plate antenna is provided, for example, on the mounting base 251 outside the substrate box 273, the maintenance work of the variable prize winning device 32 and the like is performed. There is a possibility of forgetting to remove the two-plate antenna or its electric wire, or forgetting to attach the second plate-shaped antenna or its electric wire after the maintenance work is completed. On the other hand, in the case of this configuration in which the second plate antenna 821 is provided in the board box 273, the first control board unit 201 is removed from the game board 30 at least unless the connector member 813 (that is, electric wire) is removed from the central connector 823. Since it cannot be developed, maintenance work for the variable prize device 32 or the like cannot be performed. Therefore, it is possible to avoid forgetting to remove the electric wire during maintenance work of the variable winning device 32 or the like. In addition, after the maintenance work is completed, it is possible to make the operator notice that he / she has forgotten to attach the electric wire through the presence of an empty connector in the main controller 271. As a result, by providing the second plate antenna 821 in the substrate box 273, each of the above concerns can be solved.

  Since the board box 273 of the main control device 271 is formed of a transparent resin material or the like and the second plate antenna 821 is provided on the front side of the main control board 278, when the main body frame 12 is opened from the outer frame 11, the pachinko machine Both the second plate antenna 821 and the seal seal 300 can be visually confirmed from the P rear side. Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not an abnormality such as a failure has occurred in the second plate antenna 821 or whether or not the seal seal 300 has been peeled off.

  The electric wire 810 connected to the operation port switch 809 and the electric wire 812 connected to the first plate antenna 811 are combined into one by a connector member 813 having a three-pin structure. With this configuration, the work of electrically connecting the operation port switch 809 and the main controller 271 and the work of electrically connecting the first plate antenna 811 and the second plate antenna 821 are combined into one. It becomes possible to carry out in the work process, and it becomes possible to prevent the assembly work from becoming complicated.

  Although the current generated in the first plate antenna 811 is input to the main control board 278, it is input to the second plate antenna 821 without passing through the CPU chip 278a. By adopting such a configuration, an unauthorized radio wave is transmitted from the front side of the pachinko machine P to the first plate antenna 811 to avoid an illegal operation that causes the CPU chip 278a of the main control board 278 to malfunction. Is possible.

  Needless to say, with respect to the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, the same effect as that described in the first embodiment can also be achieved in the present embodiment.

(Other embodiments)
In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.

  (1) In the first embodiment, the ID tag 303 is attached only to the main controller 271. However, in addition to the main controller 271, the ID is also applied to other controllers such as the payout controller 311. It is good also as a structure where a tag is affixed. Further, when a plurality of ID tags are attached to the back side of the pachinko machine, a plurality of first plate antennas may be provided on the front side of the pachinko machine in association with each ID tag. For example, a first plate antenna for reading the ID information of the main control device is provided in the lower right corner of the game board 30, and a first plate antenna for reading the ID information of the payout control device is provided in the lower left corner of the game board 30. It is set as the structure provided in a part. If the first plate-like antenna for reading each ID information is provided separately, each plate-like antenna and the antenna part of the seal seal may be configured so that the resonance frequency for reading each ID information is different. good.

  (2) In the first embodiment, the second plate antenna 556 is provided in the collection passage 216. For example, the antenna mounting portion is located on the back surface of the mounting base and facing the antenna portion of the seal. It is good also as a structure which attaches and fixes a 2nd plate-shaped antenna to the said antenna attaching part. Alternatively, in the case of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7 and the like, the sealing seal 300 and the side surface of the portion where the back pack connection board 381 is provided in the dispensing mechanism portion 352 of the back pack unit 203 are close to each other. Because of the opposing positional relationship, an antenna attachment portion may be formed on the side surface of the payout mechanism portion 352, and the second plate antenna may be attached and fixed to the antenna attachment portion. That is, as long as the second plate antenna and the antenna portion of the seal seal are close to each other, the position where the second plate antenna is disposed is arbitrary. However, it is necessary to devise the arrangement of other members so that the metal member is not arranged between the second plate antenna and the antenna portion of the seal seal.

  (3) In the first embodiment, the first plate antenna 551 and the second plate antenna 556 are electrically connected via the amplifying device 561. As long as the response wave is not affected, the amplifying device 561 may not be provided.

  (4) In the first and second embodiments described above, the first plate antennas 551 and 701 are provided at the lower right corner of the game board 30, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. 30 may be provided at the lower left corner or may be provided at the upper right corner. That is, if the first plate antenna is provided in a space outside the game area in the game board, the position is arbitrary. However, when the first plate-like antenna is provided at a position other than the position where the certificate paper or the like is attached, a metal member for blocking the radio wave is not disposed in front of the first plate-like antenna so that the metal plate on the main body frame and the front door is not placed. It is necessary to consider the position of the member.

  If the first plate antenna is provided at the corner of the game board, the first plate antenna can be provided without reducing the game area. More specifically, in a game board having a substantially circular game area, the first plate antenna is provided at a position offset from the upper and lower or left and right outermost edges of the substantially circular area.

  (5) In the first and second embodiments, the game board 30 is provided with the first plate antennas 551 and 701. However, if the first plate antenna is provided outside the game area, the main body It is good also as a structure provided in the front side of a frame, and good also as a structure provided in the back side of a front door frame. Even in such a configuration, if a metal member that shields radio waves is not disposed in front of the first plate antenna, the ID information stored in the ID tag is read from the front side of the pachinko machine. It becomes possible.

  (6) In the second embodiment, the shunt device 726 having a function of simultaneously outputting the current input from the first plate antenna 701 to the second plate antenna 556 and the third plate antenna 721 is provided. Although provided, such a configuration is changed. That is, the first circuit connecting the first plate antenna and the second plate antenna, the second circuit connecting the first plate antenna and the third plate antenna, and the first plate antenna in any plate shape A switching device having a switching function for periodically switching whether to connect to an antenna is provided. Even in such a configuration, if a ringing wave is transmitted from the reader device to the first plate antenna, a current is input to either the second plate antenna or the third plate antenna by the switching device. Therefore, it is possible to read each ID information at one place without changing the position of the reader device. Note that the switching function of the switching device may be switched when a predetermined switching wave is input from the reader device instead of periodically switching.

  (7) Although the ID seal 703 is provided on the front side of the game board 30 in the second embodiment, the ID seal 703 may not be provided.

  Further, instead of the ID seal 703, an ID tag storing unique ID information such as a certificate number may be provided on the certificate. At this time, the ID tag may be provided at substantially the center position of the certificate paper, and the ID tag and the first plate antenna 701 may overlap in the front-rear direction, or the ID tag may be provided at the upper edge of the certificate paper, A configuration in which the first plate-like antenna 701 does not overlap in the front-rear direction may be employed.

  (8) In the second embodiment, the antenna mounting portion 712 for mounting the third plate antenna 721 is provided on the pedestal plate 711. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The antenna mounting portion may be provided on the mounting surface of the delivery control device 311 of the pedestal plate 711, or the antenna mounting portion may be provided in the substrate box 316 of the power supply and launch control device 313. Even if it is a case where it is set as these structures, it is clear that there exists an effect similar to the said 2nd Embodiment.

  (9) In the second embodiment, the second plate antenna 556 is provided at a position facing the antenna portion 306 of the ID tag 303, and the third plate antenna is disposed at a position facing the antenna portion 707b of the ID tag 707. 721 is provided, but if both seals are pasted so that both ID tags 303 and 707 are located in an induction electromagnetic field formed by one plate antenna, a plate-like shape is formed on the back side of the pachinko machine. There is no need to provide a plurality of antennas.

  (10) In the first and second embodiments, the example in which the sealing seal 300 is applied to the open end side of the first control board unit 201 has been described. Needless to say, the present invention may be applied to a configuration in which a seal seal is attached to the opening / closing center side.

  FIG. 45 is a rear view of the pachinko machine P to which the seal seal 300 is attached to the opening / closing center side of the first control board unit 201. In addition, the same number is attached | subjected about the same structure as the said 1st Embodiment.

  A support fitting 231 for supporting the first control board unit 201 so as to be openable and closable is provided at the left end as viewed from the back of the pachinko machine P. The first control board is centered on the axis line of the support fitting 231. The unit 201 is rotatable. The main controller 271 is attached to the mounting base 251 so that the seal seal 300 is located on the opening / closing center side of the first control board unit 201 (that is, the left side in FIG. 45).

  In addition, an antenna mounting portion 840 extending toward the rear of the pachinko machine P is formed on the back side of the game board 30, and the second plate antenna 841 is attached and fixed to the antenna mounting portion 840. The antenna mounting portion 840 is formed so that the second plate-shaped antenna 841 is in close proximity to the side surface of the seal seal 300.

  Such a configuration has the following excellent effects.

  When the seal seal 300 is provided on the opening / closing center side of the first control board unit 201, the first plate antenna 551 provided on the front side of the game board 30 and the seal seal 300 provided on the back side of the game board 30. And the 2nd plate-shaped antenna 841 will be located in the same one side of the pachinko machine P. Therefore, the electric wire connecting the first plate antenna 551 and the second plate antenna 841 can be shortened, and the wiring of the electric wire can be made relatively easy. In the configuration in which each of the plate antennas 551 and 841 is switched from the ground state to the non-ground state based on the counterclockwise operation with the key inserted into the keyhole of the cylinder lock 91, the ID information is The configuration for reading from the front side of the pachinko machine P can be concentrated on one side of the pachinko machine P. Therefore, it becomes possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem that the arrangement position of the member unrelated to the reading of the ID information such as the payout mechanism portion 352 must be significantly changed when providing each of the plate antennas 551 and 841. .

  As shown in FIG. 46, it is also possible to provide an antenna mounting portion 840a at the opening / closing center side end portion of the mounting base 251. In such a configuration, since the second plate antenna 841 is located on the opening / closing center side of the first control board unit 201, the second plate antenna 841 is provided even if the second plate antenna 841 is provided on the mounting base 251. Alternatively, the first control board unit 201 can be opened and closed without removing the electric wires.

  (11) In the third embodiment, the electric wire 760 connected to the operating port switch 759 and the electric wire 753 connected to the operating port passage rod 752a are bundled by the bundling member 761, but for example, In the configuration in which the second plate antenna is attached and fixed to the back surface of the game board instead of the mounting base as in the first embodiment, the electric wires 753 and 760 need not be bundled. In such a configuration, it is not necessary to remove the second plate-shaped antenna or the electric wire when the first control board unit is deployed, so that the electric wire connecting the operation port passage 樋 and the second plate-shaped antenna is connected to the game board. It is because it should just be fixed in the state along the member provided in the back surface or back surface.

  (12) In the third embodiment, the configuration in which the outer surface of the working port passage rod 752a functions as the antenna portion has been described. However, only the front surface of the working port passage rod 752a may function as the antenna portion. . In other words, any configuration may be used as long as the antenna unit is provided in an electric device that penetrates the game board 30 forward and backward.

  (13) In the first to third embodiments, the first plate antennas 551, 701, 811 or the operation port passage rod 752a arranged on the front side of the pachinko machine P are connected to the base frame 247 of the locking device. However, it is also possible to connect the second plate antenna 556 and the base frame 247 of the locking device to ground each plate antenna. In particular, in the second embodiment, the third plate antenna 721 and the base frame 247 of the locking device may be connected and grounded.

  (14) In the fourth embodiment, the second plate antenna 821 is mounted on the main control board 278. For example, a seal sticker may be attached to the board box so as to sandwich the main control board. For example, an antenna pattern may be printed in advance on the main control board at a position facing the antenna portion of the seal.

  (15) In the fourth embodiment, the main control board 278 is configured such that the CPU chip 278a and the second plate antenna 821 are mounted on the same side, but the present invention is limited to this configuration. Instead, the CPU chip 278a may be mounted on the center left portion of the main control board 278, and the second plate antenna 821 may be mounted on the center right section of the main control board 278. With this configuration, the CPU chip 278a and the second plate antenna 821 can be separated from each other on the main control board 278, and the CPU chip 278a malfunctions due to radio waves output from the second plate antenna 821. It is possible to avoid problems such as destruction of data in the RAM.

  As described above, the RAM of the CPU chip 278a has a data storage holding power (data storage holding voltage) from the power supply and launch control board 313a provided in the power supply and launch control device 313 even after the pachinko machine P is powered off. Is supplied and data is held. For this reason, even if the ID information is read while the power of the pachinko machine P is shut off, there is a concern that the data may be rewritten by the radio wave output from the second plate antenna 821. When the data is rewritten, when the power of the pachinko machine P is turned on, it is determined that the data in the RAM is destroyed, and an abnormality process is performed. Therefore, by separating the CPU chip 278a and the second plate antenna 821 on the main control board 278, it is possible to avoid a problem that abnormal processing is performed when the power is turned on after reading ID information. Thus, the above concerns can be resolved.

  (16) In the fourth embodiment, when the first plate antenna 811 receives the ringing wave, the current generated at that time is input to the main controller 271, but the seal seal 300 is dispensed. Needless to say, in the configuration attached to the control device 311, the current may be input to the dispensing control device 311.

  (17) In the fourth embodiment, the electric wire 810 connected to the operating port switch 809 and the electric wire 812 connected to the first plate antenna 811 are separated by the connector member 813 having a three-pin structure. Although the configuration is such that the electric wires 810 and 812 are individually connected to the main control device 271, it is needless to say that the electric wires 810 and 812 may be individually connected to the main control device 271.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure connected to a main controller via a relay board | substrate. For example, a first connector receiving portion having a 2-pin structure to which the electrical wire of the operating port switch is connected to the relay board, a second connector receiving portion having a 1-pin structure to which the electric wire of the first plate antenna is connected, A third connector receiving portion having a three-pin structure is provided. A conductor pattern connecting the first connector receiving portion and the third connector receiving portion and a conductor pattern connecting the second connector receiving portion and the third connector receiving portion are printed in advance on the relay board. Then, the relay board and the main control device are connected using an electric wire having a 3-pin connector at both ends. Even if it is a case where it is set as this structure, it is clear that there exists an effect similar to the said 4th Embodiment.

  (18) In the third and fourth embodiments, the function as the antenna portion is given to the working port passage rod 752a of the working port device 750. However, a member or game penetrating the game board 30 forward and backward Any structure may be used as long as the function as an antenna portion is given to the electric device arranged in the region.

  For example, the function as an antenna part is given to the planting nail planted in the game area.

  FIG. 47A is a cross-sectional view of the main part in a state where the planting nail 845 having a function as an antenna unit is attached to the game board 30. The planted nail 845 has a projection 845a formed at substantially the center thereof, and the length from the projection 845a to the tip of the planted nail 845 is set larger than the thickness of the game board 30. In such a configuration, when the planting nail 845 is attached from the front side of the game board 30, the projecting nail 845 is prevented from moving to the rear of the game board 30 by the abutment between the projecting portion 845 a and the game board 30. The leading end portion of 845 protrudes to the back side of the game board 30. That is, the planting nail 845 is fixed in a state of penetrating the game board 30 back and forth. Therefore, if the configuration is such that the electric wire 846 for connecting to the second plate antenna is connected to the tip of the planting nail 845, the same operational effects as those of the third embodiment can be obtained.

It is good also as a structure which 301 changes in quality. Specifically, the base sheet 301 is melted. Also according to this configuration, a predetermined solvent is applied to the seal seal 300, or heat of a predetermined temperature or more is applied to the seal seal 300, the seal seal 300 is peeled off, and an illegal act is performed on the main control board 278. Can be easily discovered.

  (34) In each of the above embodiments, on the back side of the pachinko machine P, various control devices are distributed and mounted on two control board units (first control board unit 201, second control board unit 202). This configuration can also be changed, and three or more control board units (that is, mounting bases) may be provided.

  (35) In each of the above embodiments, the configuration in which the control board unit can be deployed on the back surface of the main body frame 12 or the game board 30 has been described. The present invention may be applied to a structure that can be slidably mounted on the main body frame 12 or the back surface of the game board 30.

  (36) It is good also as a structure which attaches the base member for mounting | wearing members other than a control apparatus to the main body frame 12 or the game board 30. FIG. As a member other than the control device, a power supply device, an electric member such as a motor or a solenoid, a game ball passage member, and the like are conceivable.

  (37) In each of the above embodiments, the CPU of the management computer 602 determines whether or not the input ID information matches the ID information stored in the ROM. If they do not match, an error display is made. However, such a configuration is changed.

  Each manufacturer that manufactures the pachinko machine P is provided with a management server device so that two-way communication is possible between the management computer and the management server device. Management data registered in the management server device and input ID information The management server device determines whether or not the two match.

  At this time, management data registered before shipment of the pachinko machine P is stored and held in each management server device. More specifically, (i) reference data, (ii) board replacement data, and (iii) board replacement data are stored and held as management data.

  (I) The reference data is data used as a reference when authenticating the ID information received from the management computer 602. The reference data is basically registered and stored before the pachinko machine P is shipped. However, it is updated as appropriate when the game board 30 is replaced or the main controller 271 is replaced. In the reference data, ID information given to each pachinko machine P is stored together with information on whether or not the game hall name (store name) of the shipping destination, the machine number in the game hall H, and whether or not the authentication is completed. Yes.

  (Ii) The replacement data is registered and stored before shipment of the replacement unit including the game board 30 and the main controller 271. That is, in the game hall H, replacement work (model change) of the plate changing unit may be performed. In this case, it is possible to authenticate whether or not the replacement unit arriving at the game hall H is a genuine product by storing and holding the replacement data, and the replacement unit is in the middle of transportation. Even if the product is replaced with an unauthorized product, the unauthorized product can be determined. In the board change data, the ID information given to the game board 30 and the main control device 271 constituting the board change unit includes the name of the game hall (store name) to be shipped, the machine number to be exchanged in the game hall H, and It is stored together with information on whether or not authentication has been completed.

  In the game hall H, maintenance such as opening the board box 273 of the main controller 271 and checking the main board 272 may be performed, and the main controller 271 is used again after the maintenance. In this case, since the seal seal 300 is peeled off and the antenna portion 306 of the ID tag 303 is divided, it is necessary to affix a new seal seal 300 to the substrate box 273. Therefore, it is necessary for the manufacturer to ship only the seal seal 300. When the seal sticker 300 is shipped, it is registered and stored in management data as seal sticker reissue data. Similar to the plate replacement data and the substrate replacement data, the reference data is updated using the seal sticker reissue data.

  In the management system having the above-described configuration, the ID information of the pachinko machine P is read by the manager or the like using the reader device 601 in the game hall H. The ID information read by the reader device 601 is sequentially transmitted to the management computer 602.

In this case, the transmission data includes data such as date and time, manufacturer name (or manufacturer code), model name (or model code), and machine number in addition to the ID information.

On the manufacturer side (management server device), the pachinko machine P is authenticated by collating the ID information received from the game hall H side with the registered management data. In this case, if the ID information and the management data match and authentication is OK, an authentication result to that effect is returned to the game hall H side. Further, when an error such as inconsistency occurs between the ID information and the management data, the error information is returned to the game hall H side. The following cases are assumed as error contents.
An error (data mismatch error) in which the ID information and the management data do not match in the data matching associated with the store name or the machine number.
・ An error (data contradiction error) with a serial number not assigned by the manufacturer.
An error in which the same ID information is duplicated (data duplication error).
-An error with ID information in a format not recognized by the manufacturer (format violation error).

  On the game hall H side (management computer 602), when the error information is received, the error content is displayed on a display or the like.

  (38) When the pachinko machine P is provided with a plurality of ID tags and the ID information stored in these ID tags is read from the front side of the pachinko machine P, for example, description of a QR code (registered trademark) associated with each ID information A configuration may be adopted in which the printed certificate is pasted on the game board 30 and the management computer 602 determines whether or not the correspondence between the QR code information and each ID information is the same.
