Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, an arrange ball machine, and a slot machine.

  A gaming machine, for example, a ball and ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, includes a rectangular frame-shaped outer frame that is a gaming machine frame, and a front frame that is pivotally attached to the outer frame so as to be openable / detachable. On the side, a game board, a glass door, launching means and the like are provided. The outer frame of the gaming machine frame includes a pair of left and right vertical members, an upper horizontal member that connects the upper ends of both vertical members to the left and right, a lower horizontal member that connects the lower ends of both vertical members to the left and right, A front horizontal member arranged in the left-right direction is provided at the lower front portion of the member, and a front frame is pivotally attached to the left vertical member via a hinge so as to be openable and detachable.

  When this ball game machine is installed on the game island of the game hall, after the outer frame is fitted into the receiving frame of the game island, the upper horizontal member and the lower horizontal member are received by the upper frame portion and the lower frame of the frame. Fix the frame with nails, screw nails, etc.

  In this case, if substantially the entire outer frame is made of wood, nails can be directly driven into the lateral members and fixed to the frame portions of the receiving frame. However, recent pachinko machines tend to employ a horizontal member molded from a synthetic resin material or a metal material. In this case, the horizontal member itself cannot be directly fixed to the receiving frame by nailing.

  Therefore, a plurality of mounting holes having inner peripheral engagement edges are provided in the lateral member in the left-right direction, and nailing members that engage with the engagement edges are fitted into the respective mounting holes. A method of driving a nail and fixing a horizontal member to a frame is adopted (Patent Document 1).
