Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine sealing seal that seals a sealing target part by sticking to the sealing target part in a gaming machine, and a sealing structure of a gaming machine using the gaming machine sealing seal.

  Gaming machines can be subject to various cheating activities. For example, a board unit is housed inside a housing of a gaming machine, and a storage device (usually a ROM) in which a program for controlling the gaming machine is recorded is mounted on the board unit. An illegal act of replacing this storage device with a forged one (so-called forged ROM) is known. In order to prevent this kind of fraud, each manufacturer of gaming machines has a structure in which the equipment that is subject to fraud is covered with a transparent unit cover, such as a board unit, and the unit cover is closed at the place where the unit cover is closed. A machine seal seal (see, for example, the seal seal 50 in FIG. 3 of Patent Document 1) is applied.

  However, if the seal for gaming machine seals can be peeled off cleanly without tearing, the unit cover is opened cleanly, the board unit ROM is replaced with a counterfeit ROM, and the unit is again After closing with the cover, it becomes difficult to detect fraudulent acts such as attaching the game machine sealing sticker to the unit cover again. From the viewpoint of facilitating the detection of this type of fraud, it is preferable that the seal for gaming machine sealing is made of a fragile material that is easily broken, and the traces from which it is peeled off are likely to remain. However, if the sticker for game machine sealing is made too fragile, when it is properly pasted in a factory or the like (for example, when the sticker for game sealing is peeled off from the mount or aligned with the site to be sealed) There is a problem that it becomes easy to tear and it becomes difficult to handle the seal for gaming machine sealing itself.

JP 2013-013792 A

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is easy to handle when it is properly attached to a seal target part, but it is easy to handle, but it is attached to a seal target part. It is an object of the present invention to provide a seal for gaming machine sealing that has a structure that easily breaks when it is illegally peeled off. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine sealing structure using the gaming machine sealing seal.

The above issues
A game machine sealing seal formed by applying an adhesive to at least one side of a transparent substrate, and sealing the sealing target part by sticking to the sealing target part in a gaming machine,
A part of the transparent base material along the longitudinal direction is defined as a constricted section S _α having a concave portion α on the side edge thereof, so that it breaks at the constricted section S _α when attempting to peel off from the seal target site. As well as
A seal for gaming machine sealing, characterized in that a colored portion β is provided at a position along the side edge in at least the constriction section S _α of the transparent base material, so that it is easy to visually recognize that the fracture has occurred in the constriction section S _α. It is solved by providing.

Thus, by providing a section S _alpha constricted to the gaming machine seal for sealing, locally weak to form a sealed reference seal for a game machine, it can be assumed that tends to remain traces of fraud. Further, when pasted to the normal at which the plant or the like, the constriction if handled gaming machine seal for sealing such a large load in the section S _alpha is not applied, because the game seal for sealing is hardly broken, easy to handle It is. Further, by providing the colored portion β in the constricted section S _alpha, easier to visually recognize the breakage of the constriction section S _alpha, can be easily found fraud.

  Here, “transparent” in the “transparent substrate” is used in the sense that it has a transparency that allows the back side to be visually recognized from the front side. It is a concept that also includes It is recommended that a seal for gaming machine seals be used so that it can be found even if it is improperly crafted at the sealed location. For this reason, if it is a range which does not inhibit discovery of such a work, a character, a figure, etc. can also be written in a part of transparent substrate. “Colored portion β” is also provided within the range.

  In addition, the “sealing target part” needs to be sealed at each member (unit cover, etc. covering the board unit) constituting the gaming machine in order to restrict unauthorized access to the specific device (board unit, etc.) of the gaming machine. It means a certain point. In addition to the boundary between one member (such as a unit cover that covers the board unit) that constitutes the gaming machine and another member that is fixed to the one member (such as a unit holder that attaches the board unit), A fixing hole (screw hole or the like) provided in the one member for fastening a fixing tool (screw or the like) that fixes the one member to the other member is exemplified.

When sealing the fixing hole with a seal for gaming machine sealing, after fitting a sealing member for sealing the portion where the fixing tool is fixed in the back of the fixing hole into the fixing hole, the gaming machine seal for sealing the constricted overlap interval S _alpha is the sealing member, when the longitudinal end portions pasted so as to overlap the peripheral portion of the fixing hole in the one member preferred. As a result, unless the sealing member is removed from the fixing hole or destroyed, the fixing tool cannot be removed from the fixing hole. When the sealing member is to be removed from the fixing hole, In this case, the periphery of the constriction section S _α in the seal for gaming machine sealing must be peeled off. Therefore, the gaming machine sealing seal can be more reliably broken at the time of unauthorized access, and the trace can be easily left by the gaming machine sealing seal.

The above-described sealing member is not particularly limited in its form, but includes a cylindrical insertion portion that is inserted into the fixing hole from its lower end side and a lid portion that closes the upper end opening of the cylindrical insertion portion. In addition, it is preferable to use a thin portion around the center portion of the lid portion that is easily broken. At this time, game machine seal for sealing, preferably the constricted section S _alpha is pasted to overlap with the thin portion. This makes it easy to seal the sealing member by destroying the thin part provided on the lid when it is necessary to remove the fixture properly rather than illegally, such as when replacing a failed part. On the other hand, when the thin wall portion is used for unauthorized access, it is possible to ensure that the trace remains on the game machine seal.

  Further, the sealing member includes a flange portion protruding outward from the outer peripheral portion of the lid portion in addition to the cylindrical insertion portion and the lid portion, and a breaking groove is formed along the root portion of the flange portion. It is preferable to use the one formed so that the flange portion is easily broken. At this time, it is preferable that the game machine sealing seal is pasted so that at least a part of the breaking groove is exposed from the recess α. Thereby, a tool such as a flat-blade screwdriver was inserted into the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the fixing hole and the outer peripheral surface of the lid portion of the sealing member for the purpose of illegally removing the sealing member from the fixing hole. At this time, the flange portion of the sealing member is ruptured starting from the rupture groove, and the trace can easily remain on the sealing member. At this time, if the entire breaking groove is covered with the game machine sealing seal, the breakage of the flange portion starting from the breaking groove may be hindered by the gaming machine sealing seal. Since a part of is exposed from the recess α, it is possible to make it difficult to prevent the flange portion from being broken.

  Here, the words “lower” or “upper” in the description “insert from the lower end side into the fixing hole” or “upper end opening of the cylindrical insertion portion” insert the sealing member into the fixing hole. The direction (the direction from the entrance of the fixing hole toward the back side, the positive side in the y-axis direction in FIG. 6) is “downward”, and the opposite direction (the direction from the back of the fixing hole toward the entrance. FIG. 6). y side in the y-axis direction)) is “upward”, and is used for convenience to relatively represent the positional relationship of each part of the sealing member, and limits the direction in which the sealing member is used. Not what you want. Unless the word “lower” or “upper” expresses the relative position of each part relative to the direction in which the sealing member is inserted, the same applies hereinafter. is there.

In the game machine sealing seal of the present invention, the colored portion β may be provided intermittently at locations along the side edge in the constricted section S _α of the transparent base material. In this case, the gaming machine sealing seal There is a risk that it will be difficult to visually recognize the breakage of. For this reason, it is preferable that the colored portion β is continuously provided at a location along the side edge in at least the constricted section S _α of the transparent base material.

  In addition, in the game machine sealing seal of the present invention, the concave portion α and the colored portion β may be provided only on one side edge of the transparent base material, but at opposite locations on both side edges of the transparent base material, respectively. It is preferable to provide it. As a result, it is possible to make the gaming machine sealing seal break easily not only from one side edge side but also from either side edge side.

  Furthermore, in the gaming machine sealing seal of the present invention, the shape of the recess α is not particularly limited, but when the deepest corner of the recess α is a sharp shape such as a “V” shape, the gaming machine sealing seal is recessed. Although it is easy to break starting from α, it becomes easy to break when the game seal sticker is peeled off from the mount or aligned with the site to be sealed, making the game machine seal difficult to handle. End up. For this reason, it is preferable that the deepest corner portion of the concave portion α is a round shape such as a “U” shape.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when it is attempted to illegally peel off from the state of being attached to the seal target part, even though it is difficult to tear and easy to handle when properly attached to the target part of seal, It becomes possible to provide a seal for a gaming machine seal having a structure that is easy to break and easy to detect fraud. It is also possible to provide a gaming machine sealing structure using the gaming machine sealing seal.

[1] Seal for Game Machine Sealing A preferred embodiment of the seal 1 for game machine sealing according to the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a state in which the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is viewed from the non-adhesive surface side. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is cut along a plane perpendicular to its adhesive surface. FIG. 1 illustrates a state after a mount 13 (first release paper) and a second release paper 14 to be described later are peeled off from the game machine seal 1, and FIG. 2 illustrates the mount 13 (first release paper). And the state before peeling the 2nd release paper 14 is drawn.

  The seal 1 for game machine sealing according to the present invention is a part (a part to be sealed) that needs to be sealed in order to prevent fraud among members constituting a gaming machine such as a revolving game machine or a pachinko game machine. ) And can be used, and if it is to be removed from the site to be sealed for improper purposes, it will break and leave its trace.

The plan view shape of the gaming machine sealing seal 1 (plan view shape of a portion excluding the concave portion α to be described later) is not particularly limited as long as it can seal a desired seal target portion, but is usually rectangular. . Also in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the gaming machine sealing seal 1 has an elongated rectangular shape (band shape). Although the plan view dimension of the seal 1 for game machine sealing is not particularly limited, its length L ₁ (FIG. 1) is usually about 10 to 100 mm, preferably about 20 to 70 mm, and its width W ₁ ( the width of the constricted portion other than the section S _alpha. Referring to FIG.) is usually about 3 to 30 mm, and preferably, about 5 to 15 mm. In the present embodiment, the length L ₁ of the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is 45 mm, and the width W ₁ is 10 mm.

As shown in FIG. 1, a partial section along the longitudinal direction of the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is a constricted section S _α in which a concave portion α is formed on the side edge thereof. Therefore, seal when you peel off the gaming machine seals for seal 1 attached to the target site, and easily be broken in a section S _alpha constriction gaming machine seals for seal 1, it tends to remain traces of unauthorized access ing. Position providing a constricted section S _alpha is not particularly limited, in this embodiment, has a section constricted central section along the longitudinal direction of the game machine seal for sealing 1 S _alpha, game machine seals seal 1 is longitudinal It is easy to cut near the center of the direction.

The length L _α (FIG. 1) of the constricted section S _α varies depending on the length L ₁ (FIG. 1) of the game machine sealing seal 1 and is not particularly limited, but is usually 0.05 of the length L ₁ . 0.7 times, preferably, is 0.1 to 0.5 times the length _{L 1.} Further, in the constricted section _Sα , the concave portion α may be provided only on one side edge of the gaming machine sealing seal 1, but in this embodiment, the opposing side edges on both sides of the gaming machine sealing seal 1 are opposed to each other. Recesses α are provided at the locations to be performed. For this reason, the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is easily broken even if an external force is applied to one of the side edges or the other side edge, and the trace of unauthorized access is more likely to remain. Yes.

The shape of the recess α provided in the constricted section S _α is not particularly limited, but is usually a triangular shape in plan view. As described above, the deepest corner of the recess α may have a sharp shape such as a “V” shape. In this embodiment, the deepest corner portion has a “U” shape and is rounded. For this reason, when it is going to peel off the seal 1 for game machine sealing from the state affixed on the seal | sticker object site | part, while it is easy to fracture | rupture starting from the recessed part α, Is peeled off from the mount 13 (first release paper) or aligned with the site to be sealed, it is not easily broken starting from the recess α.

The depth D _α (FIG. 1) of each recess α varies depending on the width W ₁ (FIG. 1) of the gaming machine sealing seal 1 and is not particularly limited. However, if the concave portion α is made too shallow, the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is less likely to be broken in the constricted section S _α when the gaming machine sealing seal 1 attached to the part to be sealed is to be peeled off for illegal purposes. There is a risk. For this reason, it is preferable that the ratio D _α / W ₁ of the depth D _α of the recess α to the width W ₁ of the gaming machine sealing seal ₁ is 0.05 or more. The ratio D _α / W ₁ is more preferably 0.1 or more, and further preferably 0.15 or more. On the other hand, there is a risk that too deep recesses alpha, becomes difficult to handle too easily broken in the section constriction gaming machine seal for sealing 1 S _alpha. For this reason, the ratio D _α / W ₁ is preferably set to 0.4 or less. The ratio D _α / W ₁ is more preferably 0.35 or less, and further preferably 0.3 or less. In this embodiment, the depth D _α of the recess α is 2 mm, and the ratio D _α / W ₁ is 0.2.

  The angle θ (FIG. 1) of the deepest corner of each recess α is appropriately determined in consideration of the material of the game machine seal 1 and the like, and is not particularly limited. However, if the angle θ of the deepest corner of the recess α is too small, it may be difficult to form the deepest corner of the recess α in a round shape. For this reason, the angle θ of the deepest corner of the recess α is preferably 10 ° or more. The angle θ of the deepest corner of the recess α is more preferably 30 ° or more, further preferably 50 ° or more, and further preferably 70 ° or more. On the other hand, if the angle θ of the deepest corner of the recess α is too large, the gaming machine sealing seal 1 may be difficult to break starting from the recess α. For this reason, the angle θ of the deepest corner of the recess α is preferably 150 ° or less. The angle θ of the deepest corner of the recess α is more preferably 130 ° or less, and further preferably 110 ° or less. In the present embodiment, the angle θ of the deepest angle portion of the recess α is about 90 °.

As shown in FIG. 1, a colored portion β is continuously provided in a band shape at locations along the side edges on both sides in the constriction section S _α in the game machine sealing seal 1. Therefore, when the game machine sealing seal 1 is constricted broken at intervals S _alpha, Even if disguised as if they are not broken by joining the fracture portion, by visually colored portions beta, game so that the can be easily found that machine seal seal is constricted broken at intervals S _alpha. In this embodiment, the interval is provided a colored portion beta S _beta (coloring section) is longer than the constricted section S _alpha, so that the center portion of the colored section S _B becomes constricted section S _beta. The colored portion beta, in constricted section S _alpha, forms curved along the edge of the recess alpha, the constricted section S _alpha outer colored section S _beta, along the side edges of the gaming machine seals for seal 1 It is formed in a straight line.

The width W _β (FIG. 1) of each colored portion β varies depending on the width W ₁ (FIG. 1) of the game machine sealing seal 1 and is not particularly limited. However, if the width W _β of the colored portion β is too narrow, the colored portion β becomes difficult to stand out, and it may be difficult to find a break in the constricted section S _α . Therefore, the ratio W _beta / _{W 1} width W _beta colored portions beta to the width _{W 1} of the game machine sealing seal 1 is preferably 0.03 or more. The ratio W _β / W ₁ is more preferably 0.05 or more, and further preferably 0.07 or more. On the other hand, an excessively large width W _beta colored portion beta, may become too wide opaque portions in the gaming machine seals for seal 1, difficult to visually recognize the seal target portion gaming machine sealing seal 1 is attached There is. Therefore, the ratio W _beta / _{W 1} is preferably 0.3 or less. The ratio W _β / W ₁ is more preferably 0.2 or less, and further preferably 0.15 or less. In this embodiment, the ratio W _beta / _{W 1} has a about 0.1.

  The color of the colored portion β is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the color is as light as possible. This is because, as will be described later, when the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is formed of a synthetic resin, when the plastic deformation such as fracture occurs in the gaming machine sealing seal 1, the place where the plastic deformation has occurred. The phenomenon of so-called “whitening” in which the color becomes white occurs. However, when the colored portion β is a light color (a color close to white), the whitening that occurs in the colored portion β when the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is broken is less noticeable. This is because it may be difficult to visually recognize the fracture trace. The lightness of the colored portion β (lightness in the Munsell color system) is preferably 3 or more, more preferably 5 or more, and even more preferably 7 or more.

  The hue of the colored portion β is not particularly limited, but may be a green color (for example, a hue color belonging to 5GY to 10BG in the hue ring of the Munsell Color System), a blue color (for example, 10BG in the same color ring) Suitable colors such as hue colors belonging to 10PB), purple colors (for example, hue colors belonging to 5PB to 10RP in the same hue ring), red colors (for example, hue colors belonging to 5RP to 10YR in the same hue ring), etc. Can be adopted. In this embodiment, the colored portion β is a green color. The saturation of the colored portion β is not particularly limited, and is appropriately determined within a range in which a trace of breakage is easily visible.

  The layer configuration of the seal 1 for game machine sealing has a layer made of a transparent substrate (transparent substrate layer) and a layer made of an adhesive (adhesive layer) provided on at least one side of the transparent substrate. If it does not specifically limit. In this embodiment, the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is composed of a transparent base material 11 and an adhesive 12 applied to one side of the transparent base material 11, as shown in FIG. A mount 13 (first release paper) is adhered to the surface (adhesive surface) to which the adhesive 12 is applied in the gaming machine sealing seal 1, and the surface opposite to the adhesive surface in the gaming machine sealing seal 1. The second release paper 14 is provided on the (non-adhesive surface) in a pasted state.

  The mount 13 (first release paper) and the second release paper 14 are peeled off when the game machine sealing seal 1 is used. Of these release papers, the mount 13 (first release paper) is provided after the application of the adhesive 12 to the transparent substrate 11 so as not to reduce the adhesive strength of the adhesive surface. . On the other hand, the second release paper 14 is previously laid under the material when the material for forming the transparent substrate 11 is thinly stretched. The second release paper 14 is provided for the manufacturing reason of forming the transparent base material 11 thinly. However, before the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is used, the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is not attached. It also has a function of protecting the non-adhesive surface so that the adhesive surface is not damaged.

  The transparent substrate 11 may be colored and transparent, but is colorless and transparent in this embodiment. For this reason, it is possible to make the colored portion β stand out while making it easy to visually recognize the sealing target portion to which the game machine sealing seal 1 is attached. Although the molding material of the transparent base material 11 will not be specifically limited if it has transparency, Usually, a synthetic resin is used. Especially, olefin resin, such as polyethylene and a polypropylene, can be used conveniently. In particular, polyethylene is preferable because mechanical properties such as tensile strength are not too strong, and it is easy to impart moderate brittleness to the game machine sealing seal 1, and it is easy to increase transparency. Also in this embodiment, the transparent substrate 11 is made of polyethylene.

  The thickness of the transparent substrate 11 varies depending on the molding material, but if it is too thin, the gaming machine sealing sheet 1 may become too fragile and difficult to handle. On the other hand, if the transparent base material 11 is too thick, the gaming machine sealing sheet 1 may be too strong and difficult to break. For this reason, when the transparent material 11 is what was shape | molded with the olefin resin as mentioned above, it is preferable to set the thickness of the transparent base material 11 to 5-50 micrometers, and it is more preferable to set it as 10-20 micrometers. In this embodiment, the thickness of the transparent substrate 11 is 15 μm.

  Moreover, as the adhesive 12, various adhesives, such as an acrylic adhesive, a silicone adhesive, a urethane adhesive, and a rubber adhesive, can be used. Among these, the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is excellent in transparency and can be suitably used because it does not impair the transparency of the game machine sealing seal 1. Also in this embodiment, an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is used as the pressure-sensitive adhesive 12. It is also preferable to add a tackifier such as an alicyclic petroleum resin or a terpene resin to the adhesive 12. As a result, the adhesive strength of the gaming machine sealing seal 1 can be further increased, and the gaming machine sealing seal 1 affixed to the site to be sealed can be made difficult to peel off in a clean state that does not break. Although the thickness which apply | coats the adhesive 12 is not specifically limited, Usually, you may be about 15 micrometers.

  Further, the mount 13 (first release paper) and the second release paper 14 are not limited to paper, and various materials (such as resin sheets) used as release paper such as general adhesive tape are used. be able to. In this embodiment, a resin sheet made of polyethylene terephthalate is used as the mount 13 (first release paper) and the second release paper 14. The thicknesses of the mount 13 (first release paper) and the second release paper 14 are not particularly limited, but are usually about 10 to 100 μm. In this embodiment, the thickness of the mount 13 (first release paper) is 25 μm, and the thickness of the second release paper 14 is 25 μm.

  By the way, the colored portion β described above is usually provided by printing on the transparent substrate 11. The colored portion β may be printed on the non-adhesive surface of the transparent substrate 11, but in this embodiment, the colored portion β is printed on the surface of the transparent substrate 11 to which the adhesive 12 is applied (the surface that becomes the adhesive surface). ing. This is because in the present embodiment, as described above, since the second release paper 14 is present on the non-adhesive surface side of the transparent substrate 11 from the time of forming the transparent substrate 11, the transparent substrate This is because if the colored part β is to be printed on the non-adhesive surface 11, the second release paper 14 must be peeled off. The type of ink used for printing the colored portion β is not particularly limited, and various inks conventionally used in printing on adhesive tapes and the like can be used.

  In addition to the colored portion β, the gaming machine sealing seal 1 includes characters, figures, symbols, and the like within a range that does not hinder the transparency of the gaming machine sealing seal 1 (the part to be sealed to which the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is attached). However, these characters and the like can also be printed on the transparent substrate 11 in the same manner as the colored portion β.

[2] Sealing Structure of Gaming Machine Next, a preferred embodiment of the sealing structure of the gaming machine using the above-described gaming machine sealing seal 1 will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. As already described, the game machine sealing seal 1 according to the present invention can be used for a gaming machine such as a swivel type gaming machine or a pachinko gaming machine. In the following description, for the sake of convenience of explanation, a swivel type gaming machine will be described as an example. However, the contents described below can also be adopted in a gaming machine other than a revolving type gaming machine, such as a pachinko gaming machine.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the entire spinning cylinder type gaming machine 5. FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view showing the board unit 55 in the swivel type gaming machine 5 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the rotating type gaming machine 5 includes a reel 52, a hopper device 53, a power supply unit 54, a substrate unit 55, a liquid crystal unit, and the like inside a housing 51 including a main body 51 a and a front door 51 b. 56 and various devices such as the connector unit 57 are accommodated.

  Among the above-mentioned devices constituting the revolving game machine 5, the board unit 55 has a control board on which a storage device (ROM) on which a program for controlling the revolving game machine 5 is recorded is mounted. Yes. If this storage device is replaced with a forged one, a malicious player is allowed to play an illegal game, such as making a big hit every time a specific operation is performed. For this reason, the substrate unit 55 needs to be sealed so that the storage device cannot be illegally replaced, or can be found even if the storage device is illegally replaced. Therefore, the substrate unit 55 is often configured to be covered with a transparent cover or the like. The reason for making the cover or the like transparent is to allow the work to be found even if the work covered by the cover is improperly worked as in the case of the above-mentioned “transparent substrate”. .

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the board unit 55 has a control board (not shown) mounted with a storage device (not shown) mounted on the board cover 55c, and the board cover 55c is placed in the unit holder 55a. The portion where the control board is accommodated in the unit holder 55a is covered with the unit cover 55b. Unit cover 55b, by screwing the screw into the screw hole 55b ₁ provided to its predetermined position, thereby making it possible to fix the unit holder 55a. The unit holder 55a, the unit cover 55b, and the substrate cover 55c are all formed of a transparent synthetic resin.

  The game machine sealing seal 1 according to the present invention seals various devices such as the board unit 55, the power supply unit 54, the liquid crystal unit 56, the connector unit 57, etc., in the swivel game machine 5 among the various devices described above. It can be used suitably when doing. Especially, since the board | substrate unit 55 is easy to become the object of fraud as mentioned above, the game machine sealing seal 1 of this invention can be used conveniently.

  When sealing the board unit 55 with the gaming machine sealing seal 1 according to the present invention, the gaming machine sealing seal 1 can be pasted across the control board and the storage device, Since the control board and the storage device generate heat and become high temperature, if the game machine sealing seal 1 is directly attached to these members, the game machine sealing seal 1 is easily damaged by heat. In addition, it is not possible to prevent illegal acts such as illegally changing the wiring of the control board without replacing the storage device. For this reason, it is preferable that the game machine sealing seal 1 is attached to the unit holder 55a, the unit cover 55b, or the board cover 55c. As a result, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts on all devices covered with the unit cover 55b and the like at a few sealed locations.

When the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is affixed to the unit holder 55a, the unit cover 55b, or the board cover 55c, the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is, for example, the boundary between the unit holder 55a and the unit cover 55b or the unit cover. Although it may be attached so as to straddle both members at the boundary between 55b and the substrate cover 55c, when the screw hole 55b ₁ provided in the unit cover 55b is sealed, the substrate unit 55 is sealed more efficiently. be able to. Also in the following description, when sealing in the screw hole 55b ₁ (fixed hole) provided in the unit cover 55b (one member) (the gaming machine sealing seal 1 is installed in the screw hole 55b ₁ surrounded by the broken line portion in FIG. 4). It is assumed that the case is pasted).

Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which sealed the screw holes 55b ₁ of the unit cover 55b in the reel-type gaming machine 5 using the game machine seal for sealing 1 according to the present invention. Figure 6 is a sectional view showing a state in which a periphery of the screw holes 55b ₁ taken along a plane including a center line of the screw hole 55b ₁ of FIG. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the sealing member 2 is fitted in the screw hole 55b ₁ (fixing hole), and the seal 1 for game machine sealing is constricted at the center in the longitudinal direction. section S _alpha overlaps the sealing member 2, the longitudinal direction end portions are adhered so as to overlap the peripheral portion of the screw hole 55b ₁ in the unit cover 55b (one member). The sealing member 2 has a thing for sealing the screw holes 55b _1. Therefore, unless the sealing member 2 is removed from the screw hole 55b ₁ or destroyed, the head of a screw (not shown) fixed at the back of the screw hole 55b ₁ cannot be accessed.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the sealing member 2 includes a cylindrical insertion portion 21 that is inserted into the screw hole 55 b ₁ from the lower end side, and a lid portion 22 that closes the upper end opening of the cylindrical insertion portion 21. And a flange portion 23 projecting outward from the outer peripheral portion of the lid portion 22, and outward from a location at a predetermined interval below the location where the flange portion 23 is provided in the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical insertion portion 21. a stopper projection 24 which protrudes, with one having an engaging portion 25 for causing the tubular insertion portion 21 inserted into the screw hole 55b ₁ engaged with the inner periphery of the screw hole 55b ₁ ing.

As shown in FIG. 5, a fracture groove 23 a is formed in an annular shape at a portion along the root portion of the flange portion 23. The breaking groove 23a is a fraudulent purposes, disengaged portion 25 is inserted a tool such as a screwdriver (6) in the gap G between the outer circumferential surface of the inner peripheral surface and the flange portion 23 of the screw holes 55b ₁ When it is going to be done, it becomes a part for making the flange part 23 fracture, and it is a part for leaving the trace of the fraudulent act in the sealing member 1.

  The fracture groove 23a may be formed on the lower surface side of the flange portion 23, but in this embodiment, it is formed on the upper surface side of the flange portion 23 as shown in FIG. Thereby, when the tool is inserted into the gap G, the root portion of the flange portion 23 can be more reliably broken. Because, when the tool is inserted into the gap G, the flange portion 23 is in a state where the tip portion (outer edge portion) is pushed downward, the lower surface side of the root portion of the flange portion 23 is compressed, Although the upper surface side of the root portion of the flange portion 23 tends to be pulled, if the fracture groove 23a is formed on the upper surface side where the tension portion is pulled, the root portion of the flange portion 23 starts from the fracture groove 23a. It is because it becomes easy to fracture.

Further, the stopper projection 24, when fitting the sealing member 2 into the screw holes 55b _1, intended for the flange portion 23 is prevented from breaking contact with the counterbore surface 55b ₂ of the screw holes 55b ₁ and It has become. That is, the stopper protrusion 24 is in contact with the counterbore surface 55b ₂ instead of the flange portion 23, thereby further preventing the sealing member 2 from entering the inner part of the screw hole 55b _1. It has become. For this reason, the stopper protrusion 24 is formed to be thicker than the flange portion 23 and has a structure stronger than the flange portion 23 with respect to external force in the vertical direction (insertion direction of the sealing member 2). The stopper protrusions 24 may be provided on the entire outer periphery of the cylindrical insertion portion 21 or may be provided only in a part of the section.

Further, a thin portion 22 a that is thinner than other portions of the lid portion 22 is provided at the center of the lid portion 22. The thin-walled portion 22a is formed by destroying the portion of the board unit 55 (FIG. 5) in order to replace a failed component or the like when it is necessary to remove the screw properly, not for an unauthorized purpose. It is a part for making the screw at the back of the hole 55b ₁ accessible. The game machine sealing seal 1 is preferably pasted so that the constricted section S _α overlaps the thin portion 22 a of the lid portion 22 of the sealing member 2. Thereby, when the thin-walled portion 22a is destroyed for illegal purposes, it is possible to more reliably leave the trace on the gaming machine sealing seal 1.

  The sealing member 2 is usually formed of a transparent material for the same reason as the gaming machine sealing seal 1. Although the specific material which forms the sealing member 2 is not specifically limited, It is preferable when a synthetic resin is used. As a result, the sealing member 2 can be molded with good moldability by injection molding or the like. In addition, as described above, since the synthetic resin is whitened when plastic deformation such as fracture occurs, there is an advantage that it is easy to visually recognize the trace of unauthorized access formed on the sealing member 2. Examples of the synthetic resin that forms the sealing member 2 include ABS resin, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, and acrylic.

Gaming machine seal for sealing 1 according to the present invention, as described above, and is intended to be particularly suitable for use when fitting the sealing member 2 into the screw holes 55b _1. This is because, if the entire breaking groove 23a is covered with the game machine sealing seal 1, the breakage of the flange 23 starting from the breaking groove 23a may be hindered by the gaming machine sealing seal. In the gaming machine sealing seal 1 according to the present invention, by providing the recess α in the constricted section S _α , it is possible to attach a part of the fracture groove 23a to be exposed from the recess α. This is because the sealing seal 1 can prevent the flange portion 23 from being broken.
