A game ball enters the aforementioned general winning port 31, variable winning device 32, and first start ports 33a and 33b, and the detected balls are detected by detection switches (winning port switch, count switch, operation port switch) described later. Based on the output of the detection switch, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the upper plate 19 (or the lower plate 15). As described above, the first start port 33a on the upper side is provided with an operation port switch (passage detection switch), and a ball entering the first start port 33a is detected by the operation port switch. It is like that. Further, the first start port 33b on the lower side is also provided with an operation port switch (passage detection switch), and the ball entering the first start port 33b is detected by the operation port switch. . That is, in either case of entering a game ball into the first start port 33a on the upper side or entering a game ball into the first start port 33b on the lower side, it is a start prize. There is no change. The upper first start port 33a and the lower first start port 33b are configured by a single start winning device 33 as shown in FIG.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and game balls that have not entered the various winning devices or the like pass through the out port 36 in a ball discharge path (not shown). You will be guided to the direction. A number of nails are planted on the game board 30 in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game balls, and various members (acts) such as the windmill 37 are arranged.

  The variable display device unit 35 includes a first symbol display device 40 for variably displaying a first symbol (for example, a special symbol) as identification information, triggered by winning in the first start ports 33a and 33b, and a second start. With the passage of the mouth 34 as a trigger, the second symbol display device 41 that variably displays the second symbol (for example, a normal symbol) and the winning of the first start ports 33a and 33b as a trigger, the third symbol (for example, a decorative symbol) ) In a variable manner.

  The first symbol display device 40 includes, for example, a plurality (two in this embodiment) of two-color light emitting type LEDs (light emitting diodes) 40a and 40b, and a hold indicating the number of hold of the variable display on the LEDs 40a and 40b. And a lamp 40c. The LEDs 40a and 40b can emit light in red and blue, for example. The first symbol display device 40 generates a variable display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, the emission color mode of each LED 40a, 40b) by alternately changing the emission color of each LED 40a, 40b, for example, When both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a red light emitting state, a probable big hit (specific hit) is indicated, and when both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a blue light emitting state, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated, and both LEDs 40a and 40b are mutually connected. When it stops in the light emission state of a different color, it will show off.

  In addition, as this 1st symbol display apparatus 40, you may employ | adopt the single LED of the type which can light-emit at least 3 colors or more, and by performing light emission of each color alternately, the 1st symbol is displayed. When the LED stops in the light emission state of the first color, it shows a probable big hit (specific hit), and when the LED stops in the light emission state of the second color, it usually shows a big hit (non-specific hit) When the LED stops in the light emission state of the third color, it may be indicated that the LED has come off. The first symbol display device 40 described above corresponds to the identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The second symbol display device 41 includes, for example, a display unit 41a on which “○” is drawn for the second symbol, a display unit 41b on which “x” is drawn for the second symbol, and a holding lamp 41c. When the game ball passes through the second starting port 34, for example, the display symbols (ordinary symbols) displayed by the display units 41a and 41b change, and when the change display stops at a predetermined symbol, the lower side One start port 33b is configured to be in an activated state (opened) for a predetermined time. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start port 34 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times the game ball is held is lit on the hold lamp 41c. The display units 41a and 41b have LEDs (light emitting diodes) inside thereof, and are configured to be variably displayed by switching the light emission of the LEDs (or lighting of the lamps). The second symbol display device 41 described above corresponds to the normal identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The 3rd symbol display apparatus 42 is comprised, for example with the liquid crystal display device, and the display content is controlled by the display control apparatus 45 mentioned later. On the third symbol display device 42, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 described later, three decorative symbol rows L, M, and R on the left, middle, and right are displayed. Each of the decorative symbol rows L, M, R is composed of a plurality of decorative symbols, and these decorative symbols are variably displayed on the third symbol display device 42 so as to be scrolled for each of the decorative symbol rows L, M, R. It has become so. In the present embodiment, the third symbol display device 42 (liquid crystal display device) includes, for example, a large liquid crystal display of 11 inch size. The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 so as to surround the third symbol display device 42. The above-described third symbol display device 42 corresponds to decoration identification information (design) variation display means in the present invention, and the above-described display control device 45 corresponds to display control means in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won or difficult to win, and is in an open state in which a game ball is easy to win in the case of a big win and a normal closed state. It is operated repeatedly. As described above, a state in which the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly operated in an open state and a normal closed state in the case of a big win is called a special game state (for example, a big win state). Since the ball enters (wins) and a lot of game balls are paid out for the winning, the game state is advantageous to the player.

  More specifically, when a game ball wins the first start opening 33a, 33b, the two LEDs 40a, 40b of the first symbol display device 40 are displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the LEDs 40a, 40b after the change stop is preset. The special gaming state occurs when the combination of the light emission modes is achieved. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a red light emitting state, it indicates that a special gaming state with a probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a blue light emitting state. In the case of the light-emitting mode, it means that the special game state of the big hit (non-specific hit) is normally won, and in the case of the light-emitting mode in which both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in the light-emitting states of different colors. (You have lost the special game state).

  The variable winning device 32 is configured such that the large winning opening 32a is in a predetermined open state, and the game ball is likely to win (a big hit state). Specifically, the special winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times (the number of rounds) with the passage of a predetermined time or a predetermined number of winnings in the open state as one round. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the first start ports 33a and 33b is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times that the game ball is held is lit and displayed by the hold lamp 40c. Note that the hold lamp 40c may be configured such that a hold display is performed on a part of the display screen of the third symbol display device 42.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the game board 30 is provided with a plurality of rails 51 and 52 for guiding the game balls launched from the game ball launching device 38 (see FIG. 3) to the upper part of the game board 30. Thus, the game balls launched in accordance with the turning operation of the game ball launching handle 18 are guided to a predetermined game area 30a through a ball guide passage 49 (to be described later) of the plurality of rails 51 and 52. . The plurality of rails 51 and 52 are long metal strip members made of stainless steel, and are attached to the game board 30 in an inner and outer double. The inner rail 51 is formed in a substantially semicircular shape except from the upper part to the right side of the game board 30. The outer rail 52 is formed so that a part (mainly the left side) faces the inner rail 51. In such a case, a guide rail is constituted by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, and a ball guide passage 49 is formed by a portion (the left portion toward the left) where the rails 51 and 52 are parallel to each other at a predetermined interval. . The ball guide passage 49 is formed in a groove shape having a contact surface with the game board 30, that is, a groove shape in which the front side is opened.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail 51 (the upper left portion in FIG. 2). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the ball guide passage 49 between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 to the upper portion of the game board 30 returns to the ball guide passage 49 again. It has become. Further, in a state in which the game board 30 is attached to the inner frame 12, the outer rail 52 is located at a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the game ball (upper right portion in FIG. 2: a portion corresponding to the tip portion of the outer rail 52). Is configured such that a return rubber (not shown) provided on the inner frame 12 is positioned. Accordingly, a game ball launched at a predetermined momentum or more is bounced by hitting a return rubber (not shown). Since the outer rail 52 is made of a long metal strip made of stainless steel, the flight of the game ball can be made smoother, that is, the frictional resistance of the game ball can be reduced.

  The lower right corner of the game board 30 is a space for sticking a seal (S1 in FIG. 2) such as a certificate (for example, a serial number is written) or a plate. By sticking a sticker such as a certificate (S1 in FIG. 2) to the lower right corner of the game board 30, the game board 30 and the certificate can be uniquely defined.

  That is, when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 executes the normal processing up to the end, so that the RAM 503 is when the power is turned off (including when a power failure occurs, and so on). It is only necessary to store and hold the contents of the counter buffer and the holding ball storage area, and the state of the pachinko machine 10 can be restored to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned on again. Specifically, the RAM 503 has a dedicated backup area for storing values of registers, I / O, and the like for game information during normal processing when the power is turned off (including when a power failure occurs). There is no need to provide it. The N501 terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the CPU 501 is configured to receive a power failure signal S1 output from a power failure monitoring circuit 542, which will be described later, when a power failure occurs due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. Due to the occurrence, the power failure process (NMI interrupt process) is immediately executed.

  An input / output port 505 is connected to the CPU 501 incorporating the ROM 502 and RAM 503 via a bus line 504 including an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port 505 includes a RAM erasing switch circuit 543, a payout control device 311, a firing control device 312, a sub control device 262, a first symbol display device 40, a second symbol display device 41, and other switches not shown.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 9B, 12B, and 13C, when the box cover 267 is slid in the opening direction with respect to the box base 265, the breakage separated from the box base 265 is obtained. The relative sliding movement range between the box base 265 and the box cover 267 is restricted to a range shorter than the locking length of the extending portion 271b to the fastening portion 272b because the sealing portion 281 hits the box base 265. . In short, as shown in FIG. 12B, the destructive sealing portion 281 remaining in the box cover 267 is in contact with the box base 265 so that the box cover 267 can no longer slide.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 (b), 12 (b), and 13 (c), when the sliding movement is regulated by the regulating member 290, as shown in FIG. 13 (g), the box base The leading end portions of the extended portions 271b of a plurality of (12 in total) locking claws 271 on the upper surface and the lower surface of 265 are still locked to the retaining portions 272b of the locked portion 272 of the box cover 267. The box base 265 and the box cover 267 cannot be opened in the front-rear direction.

  9 (b), FIG. 12 (b), FIG. 13 (c), and (f), as indicated by a two-dot chain line, a plurality of (12 in total) engagements on the upper and lower surfaces of the box base 265 are provided. The to-be-destructed broken portion 275 is cut and broken by a cutting tool (for example, a nipper or a blade). As shown in FIGS. 12B and 13C, the unlocking broken portion 275 has a predetermined gap (for example, about 1 mm [mm]) with respect to the locking claw 271. Therefore, it is easy to put a cutting tool.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 (a), 12 (c), and 13 (d), the distal end side of the extended portion 271b is cut by cutting a plurality (12 in total) of the unlocked portions 275 to be released. A space for cutting is secured.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 10B, 12D, 13G, and 13H, the distal end side of the extended portion 271b of the plurality (12 in total) of the flange portions 273 is arranged. Cutting with a cutting tool (for example, a nipper or a blade).

  Thus, by cutting the distal end side of the extending portion 271b, the locking of the extending portion 271b to the fastening portion 272b, that is, the locking of the locking claw 271 to the locked portion 272 is released. Thus, as shown in FIGS. 11, 12 (e), and 13 (i), the box base 265 and the box cover 267 can be opened in the front-rear direction.

  As described above, according to the board box 263 of the first embodiment, the box base 265 to which the main control board 261a is attached and the box cover 267 to be combined with the box base 265 are provided, and the main control board 261a is attached. The main control board 261a is accommodated in the internal space formed by aligning the box cover 267 with the control board mounting surface side of the box base 265, and the box base to which the main control board 261a is attached. 265 is provided with a sealing member 280 that seals the box base 265 and the box cover 267 so that they cannot be opened with the box cover 267 being fitted to the mounting surface side of the main control board 261a. Box base 265 and box cover 267 cannot be opened Can sealing, can be reduced to the substrate box 263 is opened improperly. Even if the sealing member 280 is destroyed, the sliding movement of the box base 265 and the box cover 267 is restricted by the restricting member 290, and the locking claws 271 of the box cover 267 are not cut. Since the box base 265 and the box cover 267 cannot be opened, the destruction trace of the sealing portion 281 of the box base 265 and the destruction trace of the locking claw 271 of the box cover 267 are formed. Cover 267 is intact and cannot be reused. As a result, unauthorized use of the board box 263 can be prevented.

  In addition, a pachinko machine (game machine) including a board box 263 (for example, a board case) that can prevent unauthorized use can be provided.

  In addition, a plurality of locking members 270 (6 on each side) are disposed over both sides (upper surface and lower surface) of the box base 265 in parallel to the sliding direction (longitudinal direction). A plurality (6 on each side) of the claw 271 and the sides (upper surface and lower surface) parallel to the sliding direction (longitudinal direction) of the box cover 267 are arranged over the side direction. The locking claw 271 includes a protruding portion 271a protruding from the box base 265 toward the box cover 267, and a sliding direction (longitudinal direction of the box base 265) from the protruding portion 271a. ) And a hooked portion 273 having an extended portion 271b extending to the locking portion 272. The locked portion 272 includes an opening 272a into which the hooked portion 273 is inserted, and a state in which the hooked portion 273 is inserted into the opening 272a. Since at least one of the box base 265 or the box cover 267 is slid and moved, the extending portion 271b is provided with a retaining portion 272b. Therefore, the sides of the box base 265 are parallel to the sliding direction on the box base 265. A plurality (six sides) of the locking claws 271 arranged along the direction are arranged along the side direction at both sides parallel to the sliding direction of the box cover 267 (each Since the box base 265 and the box cover 267 are sealed so that they cannot be opened by the sealing member 280, both sides of the box base 265 are predetermined. It is slidably locked by a plurality of (six sides) locking claws 271 arranged over the length, and the thin illegal tool is attached to the box base 265 and the box. It is possible to reduce a gap between the box base 265 and the box cover 267 by inserting it between the box cover 267 and the box base 265 and the box cover 267. Formation and opening can be reduced.

  Further, the sealing member 280 is fixed so as to suppress the sliding movement of the box base 265 and the box cover 267, and when the fixing-released destruction portion 285 of the sealing member 280 is broken, the box base 265 or the box cover 267 is not allowed to slide, and the restriction member 290 of the sealing member 280 extends the slide movement range of the box base 265 and the box cover 267 after the destruction of the fixed release destruction target portion 285. Since the restriction is made in a range shorter than the locking length of the protruding portion 271b to the retaining portion 272b, the box base 265 and the box cover 267 after the destruction of the unlocking broken portion 285 are slid until the restriction member 290 restricts them. Even if it is made, a part of extension part 271b of the collar part 273 is fastened to the to-be-latched part 272. A state where still Kakari' have to 272b, can not be separated and the box base 265 and the box cover 267. That is, a plurality of hooks cut the distal end side of the extended part 271b so as to release the state in which a part of the extended part 271b of the hook part 273 is engaged with the fastening part 272b of the locked part 272. Since the box base 265 and the box cover 267 can be finally separated by performing all of the steps 273, it takes time to tamper with the substrate box 263, and the effect of suppressing the tampering is excellent.

  8, since the box base 265 and the box cover 267 are sealed by the sealing member 280 so that they cannot be opened, the box base 265 and the box cover 267 are sealed by the sealing member 280. This is a single step of sealing, and it can be easily sealed, but on the contrary, when opening, the upper and lower two breakage for unlocking at the right end in the front view of the substrate box 263 The portion 285 is destroyed (there are two cut places shown in FIG. 12 (a) in the two destructed parts for release 285, so that there are a total of four cut places) and a plurality (12 in the embodiment). Two steps of unlocking of the locking means 270 (cutting of the tip ends of the twelve extending portions 271b) are required, and it takes time and effort to prevent unauthorized opening. That is, although the sealing is simple and the workability is good, the opening is troublesome and can be prevented from being tampered with.

  Further, the sealing member 280 cannot be moved relative to the box base 265 and the box cover 267 by fixing the sealing portion 281 of the box base 265 and the sealing portion 282 of the box cover 267 with a fixing member. In addition, the fixing member after fixing cannot be removed, and the portion 285 to be released for fixing is formed at a predetermined position of the box base 265, and the restricting member 290 includes the main body portion 265b of the box base 265 and the box When the gap 291 in which the distance in the sliding direction from the sealing portion 281 of the base 265 is shorter than the locking length of the extending portion 271b to the fastening portion 272b is provided, and the fixed portion to be broken 285 is destroyed. The broken sealing portion 281 of the box base 265 is separated from the box base 265 and the broken sealing portion 2 is separated. 1 remains integrally with the box cover 267, and when the box base 265 or the box cover 267 slides, the broken sealing portion 281 hits the box base 265, so that the box base 265 and the box cover 267 are separated from each other. The relative slide movement range is restricted to a range shorter than the locking length of the extending portion 271b to the fastening portion 272b. Therefore, even if the box base 265 and the box cover 267 after the destruction of the unlocking broken portion 285 are slid until they are regulated by the regulating member 290, a part of the extended portion 271b of the flange portion 273 is engaged. A configuration in which the box base 265 and the box cover 267 cannot be separated can be suitably realized in a state in which the box base 265 and the box cover 267 are not yet engaged with the stopper 272b of the stopper 272. That is, a plurality of hooks cut the distal end side of the extended part 271b so as to release the state in which a part of the extended part 271b of the hook part 273 is engaged with the fastening part 272b of the locked part 272. Since the box base 265 and the box cover 267 can be finally separated by performing all of the steps 273, it takes time to tamper with the substrate box 263, and the effect of suppressing the tampering is excellent.

  In addition, a plurality of locking claws 271 are disposed in both sides (upper surface and lower surface) of the box cover 267 in the direction of the sides (six sides each), and the locked portion 272 includes both sides of the box base 265. A plurality (six sides each) are arranged in the side direction (upper surface and lower surface), and the unlocking broken portions 275 are predetermined locations on both sides of the box base 265 and include the locking claws 271. Since it is destroyed to secure a space for cutting the distal end side of the extending portion 271b, the distal end side of the extending portion 271b is A space for cutting can be secured, a space for releasing the locking by the locking member 270 (that is, the state where the collar portion 273 is locked to the fastening portion 272b) can be secured, and the extending portion 271b Cut the tip side of It can be. Further, by destroying all of the plurality of (six on each side) unlocking broken parts 275 on both sides of the box base 265, it is possible to leave such destruction traces and to prevent unauthorized reuse. First, the box base 265 and the box cover 267 are separated from each other unless all of the plurality of unlocking parts 275 to be broken are broken and all the distal ends of the plurality of extending parts 271b are cut. Since it cannot be performed, it takes a lot of time to open the opening work, which is excellent in fraud prevention effect. Further, only the distal end side of the plurality of extending portions 271b is cut, and the engaging margin as the flange portion 273 (the engaging margin of the extending portion 271b with respect to the fastening portion 272b) remains. The base 265 and the box cover 267 can be temporarily locked. Due to circumstances on the hole side, the box base 265 and the box cover 267 can be temporarily used in a temporarily locked state. .

  Further, since the fastening member 295 fastens the box base 265 and the box cover 267 after opening, the box base 265 and the box cover 267 which are opened by cutting the distal end side of the extending portion 271b are left in the remaining flange portion 273. The box base 265 and the box cover 267 are temporarily locked by using the engagement margin (the engagement margin of the extending portion 271b with respect to the fastening portion 272b), and the box base 265 and the box cover 267 are temporarily locked. The box base 265 and the box cover 267 are temporarily locked and can be temporarily used in a state of being fastened by the fastening member 295 due to circumstances on the side of the hole. .

  The box base 265 of the first embodiment includes the female screw portion 297 and the to-be-destructed portion 300 as shown in FIG. 14 in the second embodiment to be described later. The illustration of the to-be-destructed part 300 is omitted, and for details, see Example 2.

Thus, the locking claw 271 of the box cover 267 is released from the locking portion 272b of the box base 265, and FIGS. 19, 23, 28, 29 (d), 30 (c), ( As shown in f), the box base 265 and the box cover 267 can be opened in the front-rear direction (opposite direction).

  Note that the main control board 261a remains attached to the opening 265a side of the box base 265 so as not to be removed by the breaking screw 296.

  Next, as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIGS. 24 and 31 (a), the part to be broken 300 on the outer surface of the box base 265 is cut and broken by a cutting tool (for example, a nipper or a blade).

  By cutting the five parts to be broken 300, the main control board 261a is connected to the female screw of the box base 265 as shown in FIGS. 20, 25, 29 (e), 31 (b), and 32. The part 297 is removed from the box base 265.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 32 (b), the location of the female screw portion 297 of the box base 265 and the location of the screw hole for attaching the connector base 268 are different, so as shown in FIG. 32 (b). Even if the female screw portion 297 is attached to the main control board 261a, the main control board 261a can be removed from the box base 265 without being blocked by the connector base 268. Further, as shown in FIG. 25, the lower three female screw portions 297 of the box base 265 are longer than the two upper female screw portions 297 of the box base 265. In a), two broken female screw portions 297 that remain attached to the main control board 261a are shown.

  As shown in FIGS. 20, 25, and 31 (b), the to-be-destructed portions 300 at the five outer surfaces of the box base 265 are cut and broken, and the cutting trace remains on the box base 265.

  In the opening procedure of the substrate box 263 in the above-described embodiment, the operation is performed with the substrate box 263 removed from the pachinko machine 10, but as shown in FIG. Since the front side of the board box 263 (the side where the to-be-destructed part 300 exists) is exposed, the to-be-destructed parts 300 at five places on the outer surface of the box base 265 with the board box 263 attached as shown in FIG. May be cut and destroyed, and the cutting operation can be stably performed, and the workability is excellent.

  As described above, according to the board box 263 of the second embodiment, the box base 265 to which the main control board 261a is attached and the box cover 267 to be combined with the box base 265 are provided, and the main control board 261a is attached. The main control board 261a is accommodated in an internal space formed by aligning the box cover 267 with the control board mounting surface side of the box base 265, and the main control board 261a is the main control board 261a. It is provided with a through hole 261c into which a break screw 296 that is a screw for fixing 261a to the box base 265 and cannot be removed after fastening, and the box base 265 is provided at a predetermined position on the mounting surface side of the main control board 261a.
