Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a front door that opens and closes the front side of an opened housing, and more particularly to a gaming machine in which a speaker is disposed on the front door while suppressing vibration.

  Generally, a slot machine that is a gaming machine includes a housing that houses various devices such as a rotating reel and a medal hopper. This housing is provided with a front door for opening and closing the inside of the housing, and a speaker that generates sound effects according to effects such as a rotating reel or a liquid crystal screen is disposed on the front door. It is known.

  By the way, when a sound is emitted from a speaker, a so-called chatter noise may occur. This chatter noise is generated, for example, when the vibration of the diaphragm causes the speaker itself to vibrate, and accompanying the vibration, the speaker frame and the front door frame that supports the speaker interfere with each other in small increments.

  Conventionally, in gaming machines such as slot machines, when attaching a speaker to a mounting portion, the speaker is fixed so as not to vibrate with a screw or the like as a fixing member in order to suppress the chatter noise of the speaker. In order to fix the machine, a large number of screws are required, and as a result, the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine has increased.

  Therefore, in recent years, in order to reduce the number of screws used to fix the speaker, a protrusion is provided on the front wall of the speaker attachment portion of the gaming machine, an attachment hole is provided in the speaker frame, and the protrusion is used as the attachment hole. A gaming machine in which the speaker cover is attached so as to cover the back side of the speaker after being fitted, and the speaker is attached while urging the speaker toward the front wall of the speaker attachment portion by the elastic portion provided on the cover. Has been devised (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In addition, when a speaker is attached to the speaker mounting portion of the gaming machine so that a fixing auxiliary member is interposed between the speaker ring frame and the speaker cover and the back of the speaker is covered with the speaker cover, the speaker is attached to the speaker mounting portion. There is also a gaming machine that transmits the urging force of the speaker cover that urges the speaker to the speaker through the fixing auxiliary member, and suppresses the chattering noise of the speaker by attaching the speaker by pressing the speaker against the mounting surface side of the speaker mounting portion. Has been devised (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  Furthermore, a facsimile machine is devised that suppresses the generation of chatter noise by providing a fixed plate, fixing the fixed plate with screws, and pressing the speaker between the fixed plate and the mounting surface of the mounting portion. (For example, see Patent Document 3)

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-104296 JP 2003-236082 A JP 2002-359891 A

  However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to fix the speaker so as to suppress chatter noise without using a screw or the like, but the speaker by an elastic part provided in the speaker cover is attached. Since the vibration of the speaker is suppressed by the biasing force, for example, when the force for biasing the speaker of the elastic portion is not strong, that is, when the biasing force necessary to suppress the chatter noise is insufficient, When the urging force of the elastic portion is reduced due to use, the speaker cannot be urged so as not to vibrate, and chatter noise may occur. However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 2, the speaker cover can be connected to the speaker cover via the fixing auxiliary member. Since the speaker is attached by energizing the speaker, for example, the speaker cannot be energized without vibrating due to deformation or deterioration of the fixing auxiliary member accompanying long-term use. There is a risk that it will occur.

  Further, in the facsimile apparatus described in Patent Document 3, unlike the above-described gaming machines described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the fixing plate itself is fixed with screws, so that a speaker that is used for a long period of time is sandwiched. There is no reduction in the clamping pressure. However, since not only screws but also a fixing plate is required to fix the speaker, fixing the speaker arranged in the gaming machine like the facsimile apparatus described in Patent Document 3 results in the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine. Becomes higher.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine in which the manufacturing cost is reduced by suppressing the number of screws used to fix the speaker disposed on the front door while suppressing chatter noise generated from the speaker. .

It is supported by the frame support part 57. At this time, the sound hole 52 and the support opening 65 are shifted from each other. That is, the sound hole 52 is covered so that the rear side thereof is covered with the sound hole covering portion 58, and the support portion opening 65 is in a state where the front side is closed by the speaker frame 50. At this time, the frame support convex portion 66 is positioned facing the sound hole 52.

  When the speaker 47 is fitted into the speaker housing recesses 45 and 46 until the magnetic circuit body 49 is fitted into the magnetic circuit body fitting portion 63, the speaker flange 53 is fitted into the flange fitting portions 59 and 60. At that time, the flange surface of the speaker flange 53 is in a state of being lowered one step back from the barrier surface (see FIG. 14). At this time, the flange fitting portion convex portion 61 is fitted into the flange hole 55, and the flange fixing hole 62 provided in the flange fitting portions 59 and 60 and the flange hole 55 provided in the speaker flange 53 are matched. It becomes a state. Then, a speaker fixing screw 167 as a speaker fixing member is screwed into the flange hole 55 and the flange fixing hole 62 in the matched state (see FIG. 14).

  After the cabinet 39 and the lower barrier 37 are in the above-described state, when the operator places the cabinet 39 on the lower barrier 37 so that the back side of the cabinet is overlaid on the barrier surface, the lower barrier fixing hole 70 and the cabinet are fixed. The position with the hole 74 matches. Then, when the operator inserts the cabinet fixing screw 169 into the lower barrier fixing hole 70 and the cabinet fixing hole 74 that are in the matched state and screw them together, the cabinet 39 is pulled into the barrier surface 37 so as to be pulled into the barrier surface. Fixed to. As the cabinet 39 is fixed to the lower barrier 37, the speaker grill portion (plate surface of the speaker grill plate 115) 110 contacts the barrier surface of the lower barrier 37 and at the same time, the gasket 56 contacts the plate surface of the speaker grill plate 115. (See FIG. 10). The speaker 47 housed in the speaker housing recesses 45, 46 is held by the speaker grill plate 115 and the frame support portion 57 via the gasket 56 in the front-rear direction 37 (the speaker housing recesses 45, 46) (see FIG. 9).

  Further, the cabinet 39 is attached to the lower barrier 37 so that the inside thereof is supported by the lower barrier 37. That is, the side plates 100 and 101 of the cabinet 39 are supported by both side portions 37a and 37b of the lower barrier 37, and the top plate 103 of the cabinet 39 is supported by the upper side 37c of the lower barrier. It will be supported by the barrier surface of the lower barrier 37 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). As the inner side of the cabinet 39 is supported by the lower barrier 39, the strength of the cabinet 39 itself is improved.

  When the plate surface of the speaker grill plate 115 is in contact with the barrier surface, the speaker grill boss portion 116 is fitted with the tip end portion of the flange fitting portion convex portion 62 fitted into the flange hole 55, and accordingly the speaker grill boss portion. The leading end of 116 comes into contact with the flange surface of the speaker flange 53 (see FIG. 9).

  As described above, as the cabinet 39 is fixed to the barrier 37 by the cabinet fixing screw 169, the cabinet 39 is pulled into the barrier surface, and the speaker grille boss portion 116 connects the speaker 47 to the speaker housing recesses 45 and 46 side. The flange surface of the speaker flange 53 is pressurized so as to be pushed in. Due to the pressure applied to the flange surface by the speaker grille boss 116, the speaker 47 is fixed to the speaker housing recesses 45 and 46 in a state in which it cannot vibrate.

  Furthermore, by fixing the cabinet 39 below the barrier 37, it is connected to the connection portions 119a, 120a, 121a, 122a of the various operation switches 119, 120, 121, 122 and the connection portions 119a, 120a, 121a, 122a. At the same time, the connector harness 130 protrudes from the lower barrier opening 73 to the back side of the lower barrier 37 (see FIG. 5). Accordingly, the connector 81 held by the connector holding unit 130 is also positioned on the back side surface of the lower barrier 37, and the operator can pull out the connector 81 on the back side of the lower barrier 37. Become.

  Further, when the cabinet 39 is fixed to the lower barrier 37, the lower barrier convex portion 166 is fitted into the jog dial concave portion 165 (see FIG. 11). Then, the jog dial 122 is moved from the temporarily fixed state in which the front hook 162 and the rear hook 163 are easily attached to and detached from the cabinet 39, and then the front hook 162, the rear hook 163, the barrier lower convex portion 166, and the jog dial concave portion 165. , It is in a fixed state (full stop) attached to the cabinet 39 in a state that is difficult to remove.

  The operator pulls out the connector 81 held by the connector holding portion 130 onto the back side surface of the lower barrier 37 and connects it to the receiving side connector 82 provided on the relay board 75. Thereafter, the operator attaches the substrate cover 83 to the substrate mounting portion 76 so as to cover the relay substrate 75, and fixes the cover body portion 85 to the substrate mounting portion 76 with the cover fixing screws 87 to protect the relay substrate 75. To do.

  Along with the mounting of the board cover 83, the connector 81 connected to the receiving side connector 82 of the relay board 75 and a part on the connector 81 side of the wire harness 80 are covered with the cover body 85 and connected to the receiving side connector 82. The contact surfaces 90 a and 91 a of the cover convex portions 90 and 91 are in contact with the connector surface 81 a of the connector 81. In connection with the contact between the contact surfaces 90a, 91a of the cover convex portions 90, 91 and the connector surface 81a of the connector 81, the connector 81 incompletely connected to the receiving connector 82 (ie, In a state of poor contact), the cover convex portions 90 and 91 are pushed into the receiving connector 82 side, and the receiving connector 82 is completely connected. On the other hand, the connector 81 in a completely connected state with the receiving connector 82 is positioned so that the connected state is not released by the contact of the cover convex portions 90 and 91 (see FIG. 7). .

  Further, as the substrate cover 83 is attached to the substrate attachment portion 76, the lower barrier fixing hole 70d provided in the substrate attachment portion 76 and the cabinet fixing screw 169 screwed into the lower barrier fixing hole 70d are provided with the cover covering portion 88. The cabinet fixing screw 169 cannot be released (see FIG. 6).

  Further, until the operator inserts the sealing member 95 into the sealing member insertion hole 94 of the substrate cover 83 fixed to the substrate mounting portion 76 so as to cover the relay substrate 75 and the tab portion 96 contacts the wall portion 93. When the sealing member 95 is inserted, the arrowhead portion 97 of the sealing member 95 reaches the sealing portion 79, and the substrate cover 83 is sealed to the substrate mounting portion 76. That is, the substrate cover 83 is in a state where it cannot be removed from the substrate mounting portion 76 without destroying the sealing member 95.

  As described above, the speaker housing recesses 45 and 46 are integrally formed under the barrier 37, and the speaker 47 housed in the speaker housing recesses 45 and 46 is sandwiched between the speaker housing recesses 45 and 46 and the speaker grill plate 115. Since the speaker 47 is fixed to the lower barrier 37, the speaker 47 can be disposed on the front door 3 without being fixed to the lower barrier 37 or the cabinet 39 with screws or the like. For example, the speaker 47 is attached to the cabinet 39 or the lower barrier 37 by a speaker mounting cover. Compared to the case of attaching to the speaker, since the screw for fixing the speaker attachment cover is not necessary, the number of screws to be used can be reduced. As a result, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and when attaching / detaching the speaker, the attaching / detaching operation of the speaker mounting cover is not required, and the workability at the time of attaching / detaching the speaker can be improved.

  Further, when the sound support hole 58 that covers the rear of the sound support hole 52 is provided in the frame support 57 and the support opening 65 is provided in the frame support 57 so that the speaker frame 50 is supported by the frame support 57. Further, since the sound hole 52 and the support opening 65 are displaced from each other, the rear side of the sound hole 52 can be closed by the sound hole cover 58 and the front side of the support hole 65 is covered. The speaker frame 50 can be closed. Thereby, even if a wire W or the like as a foreign object is inserted into the sound hole 52, the wire W or the like can be prevented from entering the inside of the housing 2 by the sound hole cover 58, and the speaker frame 50 can It is possible to prevent W or the like from being inserted into the support opening 65. As a result, the back pressure generated by the diaphragm 51 is discharged from the support opening 65 through the sound hole 52, so that the sound quality of the speaker can be improved. Insertion into the body 2 can be prevented, and goto action such as cone breaking can be prevented.

  Further, the sound support hole convex portion 66 that covers the sound escape hole 52 is provided with the frame support portion convex portion 66, the communication hole 68 that communicates with the sound escape hole 52 is provided in the frame support portion convex portion 66, and the frame support portion 66. Since the communication hole 68 itself provided in the horizontal direction is provided in the lateral direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction as the mounting direction of the speaker 47 in the speaker receiving recesses 45 and 46, air can be taken into the speaker 47 from the communication hole 68. Even if the wire W or the like is inserted into the communication hole 68 through the sound hole 52, the wire W or the like is inserted in the lateral direction. Thus, by taking air into the speaker 47 from the communication hole 68, the sound quality of the speaker 47 can be improved, and even if the wire W or the like is inserted into the communication hole 68 through the sound hole 52. Further, it is possible to prevent the wire W and the like from being inserted into the inside of the housing 2 which is behind the frame support portion 57, and it is possible to prevent a gore action such as cone breaking.

  Further, since the lower barrier 37 is configured to function as a reinforcing member for the cabinet 39, the side plates 100 and 101 of the cabinet 39 are attached to the left and right sides 37 a of the lower barrier 37 as the cabinet 39 is attached to the lower barrier 37. 37b, the top plate 103 of the cabinet 39 is supported by the upper side portion 37c of the lower barrier 37, and the rear surface side of the cabinet 39 is supported by the barrier surface of the lower barrier 27, thereby improving the strength of the cabinet 39 itself. Can do. As a result, the durability of the lower door 27 itself is also improved. For example, the lower door 26 can be prevented from being damaged even when the opening and closing operation of the lower door 27 accompanying the replenishment of medals to the hopper unit 11 is performed for a long time. The reliability and durability of 1 itself can be improved.

  Further, when the cover convex portions 90 and 91 are provided on the cover body portion 85 of the substrate cover 83 that protects the relay substrate 75 and the cover body portion 85 is fixed to the substrate mounting portion 76 and the relay substrate 75 is covered, the receiving side The connector 81 in an incompletely connected state with the connector 82 is pushed into the receiving side connector 82 side by the cover protrusions 90 and 91 so as to be in a completely connected state, and the connector 81 in a completely connected state with the receiving side connector 82 is Since the contact surfaces 90a, 91a of the cover convex portions 90, 91 and the connector surface 81a of the connector 81 are in contact with each other so that the connection state is not released, the relay substrate 75 is protected from a gouge action such as substrate replacement. However, it is possible to prevent poor contact between the connector 81 and the receiving connector 82 and the connector 81 being detached from the receiving connector 82. As a result, for example, malfunction of the slot machine 1 due to poor contact can be prevented, and the lower door 27 is opened each time the connector 81 is reconnected in order to eliminate the poor contact of the connector 81. Since it is not necessary to remove the cover 83, the burden on the hall staff can be reduced.

  Further, when the board cover 83 is fixed to the board mounting portion 76 to protect the relay board, the connector 81 and a part of the wire harness 80 on the connector side are covered by the cover body 85 and the cover convex portions 90 and 91 are formed. Since it is in contact with the connector 81, it is possible to prevent the connector 81 from being removed from the receiving connector 82 unless the substrate cover 83 is removed. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent a goto action to replace the substrate illegally or a goto action to be performed by replacing the wire harness 80.

  Further, the cover convex portions 90 and 91 themselves are moved from the cover surface of the cover main body 85 toward the relay substrate 75 so that the contact surfaces 90 a and 91 a of the cover convex portions 90 and 91 protrude toward the substrate surface of the relay substrate 75. Since the contact surfaces 90a and 91a are in contact with the connector surface 81a, for example, an electronic component larger than the connector 81 is disposed on the substrate surface of the relay substrate 75, and the cover body Even when the cover surface of the portion 85 needs to be separated from the substrate surface of the relay substrate 75, the connector 81 can be pushed into the receiving connector 82 as the relay substrate 75 is protected by the substrate cover 83. As a result, for example, even if the board has a board surface on which electronic components larger than the connector 81 are arranged, the board cover 83 can protect the board 81 and contact failure of the connector 81 or malfunction caused by the contact failure. Can be prevented.

  Further, when the relay substrate 75 is protected by the substrate cover 83, the cover main body 85 can be fixed to the substrate mounting portion 76 in a sealed state by the sealing member 95, so that the substrate cover 83 is illegally damaged by the destruction of the sealing member 95. It is possible to detect the removal from the board mounting portion 76. As a result, for example, it is possible to detect, for example, the goto action for replacing the substrate at an early stage.

  Further, when the cover main body 85 is fixed to the substrate mounting portion 76, the cover covering portion prevents the cabinet fixing screw 169 screwed into the lower barrier fixing hole 70 provided in the substrate mounting portion 76 from being released. 88, the cabinet 39 fixed to the lower barrier 37 cannot be released unless the substrate cover 83 is removed. Thereby, for example, it is possible to prevent the goto action of exchanging the wire harness 80 connected to the various operation switches 119, 120, 121, and 122.

  In addition, when the speaker grill boss 116 is provided on the speaker grill plate 115 and the cabinet 39 is fixed to the lower barrier 37, the speaker grill boss 116 does not vibrate the speaker flange 53 so that the speaker 47 does not vibrate. The speaker housing recesses 45 and 46 are fixed to the speaker housing recesses 45 and 46, for example, so that the four corners of the speaker flange 53 are fixed with screws to suppress the vibration of the speaker 47 as compared with the one that suppresses the vibration of the speaker. The number of screws can be reduced. Thereby, the manufacturing cost of the slot machine 1 can be suppressed while suppressing the chatter noise of the speaker and improving the sound quality.

  Further, when the speaker 47 is fixed to the lower barrier 37, a straight line connecting the fixing positions of the speaker fixing screws 167 on the lower barrier 37 and the speaker grille boss portion 116 when contacting the speaker flange 53 (the speaker flange 53). And a straight line connecting between the fixed positions of the cabinet fixing screws 169 on the lower barrier 37 when the cabinet 39 is fixed to the lower barrier 37 with the cabinet fixing screws 169. Since the speaker fixing screw 167 intersects with the straight line connecting the fixing positions, the speaker grille gasket 115 has a gasket surface on the plate surface of the speaker grill plate 115 in combination with the contact of the speaker grille boss 116 with the speaker flange 53. 56 is in contact with the cabinet fixing screws 169. The Tsu bets 39 when fixed to the lower barrier 37, as the cabinet 39 is drawn into the barrier surface, the speaker grill boss 116 to fix the speaker 47 pressurizes the flange surface of the speaker flange 53. Thus, the speaker 47 is connected to the speaker 47 in a state where the four corners of the speaker flange 53 are fixed only by fixing the two corners (corner portions) on the diagonal line with the speaker fixing screws 169. It can be fixed to the housing recesses 45 and 46. As a result, in a state where the speaker 47 is accommodated in the speaker accommodating recesses 45 and 46, the gasket 56 provided on the speaker 47 is brought into contact with the plate surface of the speaker grill plate 115 and the speaker flange is suppressed in order to suppress the vibration of the speaker 47. Even if 53 is configured to be fixed with screws, the number of screws used to suppress vibration of the speaker 47 and screws used to ground the gasket 56 to the speaker grill plate 115 can be reduced. The gasket 56 is brought into close contact with the speaker grill plate 115, so that the sound quality can be improved and the number of screws used in the slot machine 1 can be reduced to reduce the manufacturing cost of the slot machine 1.

  Further, when the first, second, and third barrier lower fixing holes 70a, 70b, 70c are provided at positions close to the flange fitting portion convex portion 61, and the cabinet 39 is fixed to the barrier lower portion 37, the flange fitting portion. Since the cabinet 39 can be fixed to the lower barrier 37 with the cabinet fixing screw 169 at a position close to the convex portion 61, the speaker grille boss portion 116 can be pulled into the barrier surface side with a strong force. The speaker grille boss portion 116 can be pressed strongly against the flange surface of the speaker flange 53. Thereby, coupled with fixing by the speaker fixing screw 167, the speaker flange 53 can be pressed strongly and in a balanced manner toward the barrier surface, and the chatter noise of the speaker can be suppressed.

  Further, as described above, even when the speaker 47 is mounted in the speaker housing recesses 45 and 46 provided in the lower barrier 37, the sound quality can be improved by bringing the gasket 56 into close contact with the speaker grill plate 115. In addition, since the speaker 47 can be mounted in the speaker receiving recesses 45 and 46 while suppressing the chatter noise, for example, when the slot machine 1 is reused, the speaker 47 is attached to the cabinet 39 side. Compared with the case where the slot machine is reused, it is not necessary to remove the speaker 47 from the cabinet 39 to be discarded, so that the workability at the time of reuse can be improved.

  When the cabinet 39 is provided with the connector holding portion 130 for holding the connector 81, the barrier lower opening 73 is provided at a position corresponding to the connector holding portion 130 of the lower barrier 37, and the cabinet 39 is fixed to the lower barrier 37. Since the connector 81 held in the connector holding portion 130 can be pulled out from the lower barrier opening 73, for example, when the cabinet 39 is replaced by one person, one end of each of the operation switches 119, 120, 121, 122 is provided. The connector 81 on the other end side of the wire harness 80 connected via the connector 81 can be easily pulled out to the back side surface of the lower barrier 37. As a result, the burden of pulling out the connector 81 to the back side of the lower barrier 37 when the cabinet 39 is replaced is reduced, and the mounting workability when the cabinet 39 is attached to the lower barrier 37 is improved. Can do. As a result, the cabinet 39 can be easily replaced (assembled) by one person.

  In addition, since the harness accommodating portion 132 is provided in the cabinet 39 and the connector 81 is held in the connector holding portion 130, the extra wire harness 80 can be accommodated. Therefore, when the cabinet 39 is attached to the lower barrier 37, the cabinet 39 And the wire harness can be prevented from being sandwiched between the lower barrier 37. Thereby, the assembly work of the cabinet 39 can be smoothly performed without damaging the wire harness 80.

  Further, the jog dial body portion 160 is provided with the jog dial concave portion 165, the barrier lower convex portion 166 is provided under the barrier 37, and the barrier lower convex portion 166 is secured when the cabinet 39 is fixed to the barrier lower 37 with the jog dial 122 attached. Is fitted into the jog dial recess 165 so as to be fixed (finally fixed). For example, the wire W is inserted into the gap between the mounting hole 104 provided in the cabinet 39 and the jog dial main body 160, and the wire Even if the hook of the rear hook 163 to the cabinet 39 is released by W, the jog dial 122 cannot be removed from the cabinet 39 because the barrier lower projection 166 is fitted in the jog dial recess 165. Therefore, the jog dial 122 cannot be removed from the cabinet 39 (that is, the lower door 27) unless the cabinet 39 is removed from the lower barrier 37. However, the cabinet 39 is fixed to the lower barrier 37 by a plurality of cabinet fixing screws 169. In addition, as described above, one of the cabinet fixing screws 169 is covered by the cover covering portion 88 so that the fixing cannot be released, so that the cabinet 39 from the lower barrier 37 (or the lower barrier 37 from the cabinet 39) is covered. It is installed so that it cannot be easily removed. Accordingly, it becomes difficult to release the fitting between the lower barrier protrusion 166 and the jog dial concave portion 165 by removing the cabinet 39 from the lower barrier 37. As a result, it is difficult to remove the jog dial 122 from the cabinet 39, and it is possible to prevent the gogging action or the like performed through the mounting hole 104 when the jog dial 122 is removed, while the cabinet 39 is placed under the barrier 37. The jog dial 122 can be fixed to the cabinet 39 (lower door 27) by a series of operations for fixing the jog dial 122, and the workability of the operation for attaching the jog dial 122 can be improved.

  Further, the jog dial main body 160 is provided with a front hook 162 for positioning in the mounting hole 104 of the cabinet 39, and a rear hook for temporarily mounting the jog dial main body 160 to the cabinet 39 is provided. The barrier lower convex portion 166 has a jog dial concave portion. Since the jog dial 122 can be temporarily attached to the cabinet 39 at a position where the jog dial 122 is fitted to the cabinet 39, the jog dial main body 160 is always attached to the cabinet 39 at a position where the barrier lower convex portion 166 is fitted to the jog dial concave portion. be able to. By this. The jog dial 122 can be easily fixed to the bottom, and the cabinet 39 can be fixed to the lower barrier 37 smoothly. As a result, it is possible to improve the workability of the attachment work for attaching the cabinet 39 to the lower barrier 37.

  Further, when the lower panel 143 is removed from the cabinet opening 105, it is necessary to release the hook of the upper hook 153 with respect to the upper hook receiver 137, but the upper hook 153 has a flat hook body 155 and a locking projection. When the upper hook 153 is hooked on the upper hook receiver 137, the pointed tip of the locking projection 156 is projected toward the inner side of the lower panel 143. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 25, even if the upper hook 153 is pushed by the wire W inserted between the cabinet opening 105 and the lower panel 143, the direction pushed by the wire W is the upper hook 153. Prevent the upper hook 153 from being released from the upper hook receiver 137. It can be. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the lower panel 143 from being removed from the cabinet opening 105, and it is possible to prevent a go-to action performed by removing the lower panel 143.

  Further, the lower panel 143 is divided into two parts, and the front case 145 is provided with the lower hook 150 provided with the lower hook opening 151, and the rear case 146 is provided with the rear case protrusion 152. When the lower panel 143 is attached to the cabinet opening 105 by fitting the lower case opening 152 to the rear case projection 152, the second locking portion that is locked when the lower panel 143 is attached to the cabinet opening 105 is overlapped with the rear case 146. Since it is formed, for example, a protrusion is provided on the side of the rear case 146 at a position that does not correspond to the lower hook 150, and the protrusion and the lower hook 150 are connected to the opening edge of the cabinet opening 105. Compared to the case where the lower panel is attached to the cabinet opening 105 by hooking it to the portion 136, the number of hook receivers provided on the opening edge 136 can be reduced. . Thereby, the manufacturing cost of the slot machine 1 can be suppressed.
