Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a board housing case that houses a control board for performing control related to a game.

  Conventionally, representative examples of gaming machines include, for example, pachinko machines, slot machines, and gaming machines that fuse pachinko machines and slot machines. This type of gaming machine includes a board housing case that houses a control board that performs control related to the game. The substrate storage case forms a storage space for storing the control substrate by closing at least two members such as a base member and a cover member. The substrate housing case is provided with a sealing mechanism for sealing the case. The substrate storage case that stores the control substrate is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine in a state of being sealed by a sealing mechanism. The control board of the substrate housing case attached at a predetermined position is connected to the control board of another substrate housing case attached at another predetermined position. Wiring work for electrically connecting the respective control boards is performed, and the gaming machine is shipped (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-10-314414 (page 3-7, FIG. 1-5)

However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problems.
That is, the board housing case for housing the control board has a region that is not desired to be touched except for a normal use after shipment, but there is a problem that such a region cannot be sufficiently protected in a conventional gaming machine.

  Areas that are not desired to be touched except for normal applications after shipment include, for example, a connector mounted on a control board for connecting the control board and another control board, a sealing mechanism for the board housing case, and the like.

  For example, a connector for connecting to another control board or the like is mounted on the control board, and an area corresponding to the connector of the control board housed in the board housing case is opened. After the board housing case is made unopenable by the sealing mechanism, the connector provided at one end of the cable is connected to the connector on the control board side, and the connector provided at the other end of the cable is similarly connected to another board housing case. Connected to the connector on the other control board side accommodated in the connector. In a state where the control board and the other control board are connected in this way, the control board transmits various signals such as commands necessary for the progress of the game to the other control board. However, there is a case where an illegal act of attaching an illegal board (hanging board) for sending an illegal signal to the connector is performed. In this case, a fraudulent person obtains an unfair advantage by an unauthorized substrate transmitting an unauthorized signal to another control substrate, and the other control substrate performs control related to a predetermined game based on the unauthorized signal. There is. If an unauthorized control board is connected in a state where it is difficult to detect, there is no trace of unauthorized opening even when looking at the sealing mechanism of the substrate housing case, so it is not easy to detect such an unauthorized act. . For this reason, the connector mounted on the control board for connecting the control board to another control board is not desired to be touched except for normal use after shipment.

  Further, since the sealing mechanism of the substrate storage case is exposed to the surface of the substrate storage case after sealing the substrate storage case, it is exposed to a risk of fraud. For this reason, the sealing mechanism of the substrate housing case is not desired to be touched except for normal use after shipment.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can protect a predetermined area of a substrate storage case, and can easily detect an illegal act against protection of the predetermined area of the substrate storage case. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine including a board housing case.

In order to achieve such an object, the present invention has the following configuration.

Each of the cover member and the attachment member includes a first portion to be broken that is broken to release the non-detachable state of the housing case and the cover member. The first damaged portion is a portion where a part of the cover member overlaps a part of the mounting member from at least one of the vertical direction, the horizontal direction, and the front-rear direction in a front view of the gaming machine.

  This makes it difficult to remove the cover member from the predetermined region of the housing case in a state in which the second attachment means is not detachable. That is, it becomes difficult to perform unauthorized access to a predetermined area of the storage case. When the cover member is removed from the housing case, the first destruction site included in the cover member and the second mounting means is destroyed in order to release the state in which the housing case and the cover member cannot be detached from the mounting member. Since the first damaged part is a part where a part of the cover member overlaps with a part of the mounting member, the destruction mark is present on the first damaged part of both the cover member and the second mounting means by one destruction operation. Remains. Therefore, it becomes easy to find a trace that the cover member is illegally removed from the housing case. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to perform an illegal act performed through a predetermined area in a state where the storage case is normally attached, and it is possible to easily find out if an illegal act is performed.

  Here, the “non-detachable state” is a state where it cannot be removed with normal force, and if it is forcibly removed, either or both of the attached members are damaged. means. In addition, the direction in which the first broken parts overlap is determined according to the direction of the predetermined part to which the housing case is attached.

The engaging portion is different from the second engaged portion of the cover member. As a result, when the engagement between the first engaging portion and the first engaged portion is illegally released in the locked state, a destruction trace remains in the housing case, and the second engaging portion and the second engaged portion are retained. If the engagement with the part is illegally released, a destruction trace remains on the cover member. Therefore, it becomes easier to find frauds as much damage remains. In addition, it is possible to make it difficult to make an unauthorized storage case that reuses the storage case and the cover member after the locked state is illegally released intact.

(9) In the gaming machine according to (8),
The gaming machine, wherein the first engaging portion, the first engaged portion, the second engaging portion, and the second engaged portion are formed in different shapes.

  According to the invention described in (9) above, the shape of engagement between the first engaging portion and the first engaged portion, and the shape of engagement between the second engaging portion and the second engaged portion. Are different from each other. Thus, in the locked state, the second engaging portion and the second engaging portion are not used unless a method different from the method employed when illegally releasing the engagement between the first engaging portion and the first engaged portion is taken. It is possible to make it difficult to illegally release the engagement with the engaged portion. Therefore, it takes time to release the engagement between the first engagement portion and the first engaged portion and release the engagement between the second engagement portion and the second engaged portion. The storage case attached to the attachment member can be made strong against fraud.

With the force at the time of starting to be elastically deformed against the force, the elastic structure of the first engagement portion is hardly deformed against the elastic force. As a result, even when the second engaging portion can be elastically deformed against the elastic force when attempting to illegally release the locked state, the first engaging portion can be applied with the same magnitude of force. Is difficult to elastically deform against the elastic force. Therefore, since it becomes difficult to perform an illegal act that attempts to release the locked state illegally by simultaneously elastically deforming the first engaging part and the second engaging part, it is possible to strengthen the storage case against the illegal act. it can.

(12) In the gaming machine according to (11),
The first engaged portion and the second engaged portion cause the elastic structure to elastically deform against the elastic force in the insertion space, and the elastically deformed elastic structure is caused by the elastic force. Each has an elastic deformation part that restores its original shape,
The elastic deformation portion on the first engaged portion side is restored to the original shape by the elastically deformed elastic structure before the elastic deformation portion on the second engaged portion side. Formed as
In the locked state, the elastically deformed first engagement portion is engaged with the first engaged portion by restoring the original shape, and then the elastically deformed second engagement portion. Is formed by engaging the second engaged portion by restoring the original shape.

  According to the invention described in (12) above, when the locking member is inserted into the insertion space, first, the elasticity of the first engagement portion elastically deformed at the elastic deformation portion on the first engaged portion side. The structure is engaged with the first engaged portion by restoring the original shape. Next, the elastic structure of the second engaging portion elastically deformed at the elastic deformation portion on the second engaged portion side is restored to its original shape, thereby engaging the second engaged portion. That is, while the elastic structure of the softer second engaging portion is elastically deformed, the elastic structure of the harder first engaging portion is pushed in and restored to the original shape. Rather than pushing in the elastic structure of the harder first engaging portion after the mating portion is engaged with the second engaged portion, the first engaging portion is made to return to the original shape. It is easy to work to engage with. Therefore, even if the elastic structures are different, the operation of forming the locked state can be facilitated.

As a result, even if the locked state between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 is illegally released, the destruction trace remains in both the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130. It becomes easier to detect fraud as much trace remains.

  Next, the attachment state of the main board case 74 and the connector caulking plate 160 and the details of the configuration that prevents the connector caulking cover 130 and the main board case 74 from being easily removed from the attachment state will be described.

  Here, the attachment state of the main board case 74 and the connector caulking plate 160 will be described with reference mainly to FIGS. The connector caulking cover 130 is attached in a detachable attachment state in which the connector caulking cover 130 can be freely detached and reattached in a state of being attached to the main board case 74 so as to cover an area to which the connector 95a is connected. The main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are provided with cover attaching mechanisms 131 and 141 for making such a detachable attachment state.

  The cover mounting mechanism 131 on the side of the connector caulking cover 130 includes claw-shaped portions 135a and 135b on one edge along the longitudinal direction of the main board case 74 among the edges contacting the main board case 74. On the other edge, claw-shaped portions 135c, 135d, and 135e are provided. The cover attaching mechanism 142 on the main board case 74 side is a slide restriction that engages with the claw-shaped parts 135a to 135e to restrict the sliding movement of the claw-shaped parts 135a to 135e at positions corresponding to the claw-shaped parts 135a to 135e. Parts 146a to 146e are provided. The cover attachment mechanism 142 includes slide allowing portions 146a to 146e that allow the claw shaped portions 135a to 135e to slide along the direction opposite to the direction in which the tips of the claw shaped portions 135a to 135e extend.

  The connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74 by sliding along the slide allowing portions 146a to 146e. In this state, even if the connector caulking cover 130 is pulled in a direction away from the mounting surface of the main control board 73, the engagement between the claw-shaped portions 135a to 135e and the slide restricting portions 146a to 146e The main board case 74 is prevented from being detached. The connector caulking cover 130 attached to the main board case 74 can be removed from the main board case 74 by sliding in the direction opposite to the sliding direction at the time of attachment.

  Next, the attachment state of the rotation base 120 and the main board case 74 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150 in a state where the main board case 74 is attached to the rotating base 120 and the connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74. It is possible to restrict the sliding movement of 74 and the rotation base 120 in a direction separating from each other.

  Specifically, the connector caulking cover 130 includes a plurality of claw-shaped portions 135f and 135g on the distal end side in the sliding direction as the cover mounting mechanism 131. The main board case 74 includes, as the cover attachment mechanism 141, slide restriction portions 146f and 146g at positions facing the plurality of claw-like portions 135f and 135g. As shown in FIG. 5, the rotation base 120 has a slide communication part 121 a that communicates with the slide restriction parts 146 f and 146 g at a position facing the slide restriction parts 146 f and 146 g with the main board case 74 attached. 121b. In the slide communication portions 121a and 121b, the tips of the claw-shaped portions 135f and 135g penetrating the slide restricting portions 146f and 146g are inserted. In this state, when the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, the sliding movement in the direction of separating the main board case 74 and the rotation base 120 is restricted.

  With this configuration, when the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, not only the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are separated, but also the main board case 74 and the rotation base 120. Can also be regulated. As described above, the separation between the main board case 74 and the rotation base 120 is restricted by the main body sealing portion 190, but is also restricted by the connector caulking plate 160.

  As described above, the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are in a detachable attachment state. In this state, by inserting the connector caulking plate 160 into the plate insertion space 150 of the connector caulking cover 130, The connector caulking plate 160 cannot easily remove the connector caulking cover 130 from the main board case 74. In this specification, such a state is called a locked state.

  Next, a configuration for changing from the attached state to the locked state will be described mainly with reference to FIG. In addition, FIGS. 13-16 is also referred suitably.

  The connector caulking plate 160 includes a first engaging portion 161 and a second engaging portion 162 that are different from each other in engaging members. The first engaging portion 161 is engaged with a first engaged portion 143 provided on the main board case 74. The second engaging portion 162 is engaged with a second engaged portion 133 provided on the connector caulking cover 130. When the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are locked, the first engaging portion 161 is engaged with the first engaged portion 143, and the second engaging portion 162 is engaged with the second engaged portion 133. It is formed by engaging.

  By engaging the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 with different members in this way, a locked state is formed, so that the engagement at the first engagement portion 161 is achieved. If an attempt is made to release the connector illegally, a destruction trace remains in the main board case 74, and an attempt to release the engagement at the second engagement portion 162 illegally leaves a destruction trace on the connector caulking cover 130. Therefore, as long as the main board case 74 is viewed from the outside, it seems that the locked state is formed by the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160, but the main board case 74 also actually forms the locked state. Therefore, when the locked state is released, the destruction trace for the release can be left over a plurality of members excluding the connector caulking plate 160.

  The first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 are made of the same material, but have different shapes. In accordance with this, the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133 also have different shapes.

  The first engagement portion 161 has one side extending along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 bent outward in the middle, and when viewed as a whole side, the shape is “<” or “<”. It is comprised by the site | part bent. The first engaging portion 161 is formed such that the bent portion engages with the first engaged portion 143. The first engaged portion 143 is configured by a portion that protrudes into the plate insertion space 142 from the wall portion that forms the slide allowance portion 146 b of the main board case 74. The first engaged portion 143 is formed so that the protruding portion engages with the first engaging portion 161.

  The second engaging portion 162 has the other side extending along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 folded back to the middle and extended to the rear side. It is provided at the tip. The second engaging portion 162 is formed in such a shape that the tip of the “let” -shaped portion engages with the second engaged portion 133. The second engaged portion 133 is configured by a portion projecting into the plate insertion space 132 from the inside of a wall portion (cover outer wall portion 130e2 described later) constituting the plate insertion space 132 of the connector caulking cover 130. The second engaged portion 133 is formed such that the protruding portion engages with the second engaging portion 162.

  A portion of the first engagement portion 161 bent in a “<” shape or a “to” shape is caught in a portion protruding into the plate insertion space 142 of the first engaged portion 143, and the second engagement Since the tip of the “L” -shaped portion of the portion 162 is caught by the portion protruding into the plate insertion space 132 of the second engaged portion 133, the connector caulking plate 160 can be easily extracted from the plate insertion space 150. I can't.

  Thus, by making the shapes of the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 different, the first engagement portion 161 and the first engagement portion are locked in the locked state between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130. Unless a method different from the method employed when illegally releasing the engagement with the engaged portion 143 is employed, the engagement between the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133 is illegally released. By making it difficult, the main board case 74 can be made strong against fraud.

  Further, the difference in shape between the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 described above can also be expressed as a difference in arrangement between the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162. That is, when the center line is drawn along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160, the first engagement part 161 and the second engagement part 162 are provided at positions that are asymmetrical with respect to the center line. In FIG. 9, the insertion direction and the center line are indicated by a dashed line arrow.

  The first engagement portion 161 is provided on the right side in the insertion direction with respect to the center line and slightly ahead of the middle of one side extending along the insertion direction. In other words, the first engagement portion 161 is provided at a position recessed in the main control board 73 side from the non-cover surface 71c where the connector caulking cover 130 is not provided on the surface of the case upper 71 in the locked state. ing. The non-cover surface 71c is the flattest surface of the surface of the case upper 71 and may be referred to as a reference surface. The first engaged portion 143 is provided on the rear side in the insertion direction with respect to the first engaging portion 161, but the engagement portion with the first engaging portion 161 is more main than the non-cover surface 71 c. It is provided at a position recessed toward the control board 73 side.

  The second engagement portion 162 is provided on the left side in the insertion direction with respect to the center line and slightly behind the middle of the other side extending along the insertion direction. In other words, the second engagement portion 162 is provided at a position away from the non-cover surface 71c to the outside of the accommodation space of the main board case 74 in the locked state. The second engaged portion 133 is provided on the rear side in the insertion direction with respect to the second engaging portion 162, and the accommodation space of the main board case 74 from the non-cover surface 71 c to the second engaging portion 162. It is provided in the position away from the outside.

  When the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are locked, the first engaging portion 161 is engaged with the first engaged portion 143 at a position that is asymmetrical with respect to the center line. The engaging portion 162 is formed by engaging the second engaged portion 133. With this configuration, the engagement between the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is released by the amount that the work cannot be performed at the same position along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160, By allowing time to release the engagement between the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133, the main board case 74 can be made strong against fraud.

  The difference in shape between the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 described above can also be expressed as a difference in elastic structure. That is, the first engagement portion 161 has a predetermined elastic structure, and the second engagement portion 162 has an elastic structure different from the elastic structure of the first engagement portion 161.

  The elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 is an edge portion located between one side having a bent portion extending along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 and a hole having a long and narrow shape extending along this side. It is constituted by. In other words, in the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161, this edge portion is elastically deformed, but both ends of this edge portion are fixed to the connector caulking plate 160. It has a difficult elastic structure.

  The elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 is the same material as the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161, but the other side extending along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 is folded back in the middle. It is comprised by the folding | turning part of the shape extended. The folded portion has an elastic structure that is easily elastically deformed so that it is elastically deformed by being lightly pressed by a person. In other words, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 is at least the first engagement when the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 starts to be elastically deformed against the elastic force of the second engaging portion 162. It can be said that the elastic structure is hardly elastically deformed against the elastic force of the joint portion 161.

  In this way, by making the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 different from the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162, the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 becomes the elastic force of the second engaging portion 162. With the force at the time of starting to be elastically deformed against the elastic structure, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 can be made difficult to be deformed against the elastic force. As a result, when the locked state is to be illegally released, the second engaging portion 162 can be elastically deformed illegally and the engagement at the second engaging portion 162 can be released. With the same magnitude of force, the first engagement portion 161 is elastically deformed, and it becomes difficult to release the engagement at the first engagement portion 161. Accordingly, it is difficult to perform an illegal act of simultaneously releasing the engagement at the first engagement portion 161 and the engagement at the second engagement portion 162 and extracting the connector caulking plate 160 from the plate insertion space 150. The main board case 74 can be made strong against fraud.

  The connector caulking plate 160 has the first engaging portion 161 engaged with the first engaged portion 143 before the second engaging portion 162 engages with the second engaged portion 133. It is formed to do. That is, the connector caulking plate 160 is formed such that the first engaged portion 161 that is less likely to be elastically deformed is engaged before the second engaging portion 162 that is more likely to be elastically deformed.

  The first engaged portion 143 on the main board case 74 side is pressed against the first engaging portion 161 in the plate insertion space 142 to resist the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 against its elastic force. A first pressing portion 144 that elastically deforms and restores the elastically deformed elastic structure to its original shape by its elastic force is provided. The second engaged portion 133 on the connector caulking cover 130 side is pressed against the second engaging portion 162 in the plate insertion space 132 to resist the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 against its elastic force. It has a second pressing part 134 that is elastically deformed and restores the elastically deformed elastic structure to its original shape by its elastic force.

  The first pressing portion 144 is formed to have a shorter length along the insertion direction of the connector crimping plate 160 than the second pressing portion 134. Therefore, even if the state where the first engagement portion 161 is pressed against the first pressing portion 144 and the state where the second engagement portion 162 is pressed against the second pressing portion 134 occur at the same time, The engaging portion 161 is released from the pressed state earlier than the second engaging portion 162 and is engaged with the first engaging portion.

  With this configuration, when the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, first, the first engaging portion elastically deformed by the first pressing portion 144 on the first engaged portion 143 side is firstly provided. The elastic structure 161 is engaged with the first engaged portion 143 by restoring the original shape. Next, the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 elastically deformed by the second pressing portion 134 on the second engaged portion 133 side is restored to the original shape, thereby engaging the second engaged portion 133. To do. In other words, while the elastic structure of the softer second engaging portion 162 is elastically deformed, the elastic structure of the harder first engaging portion 161 is pushed in and restored to the original shape. Rather than pushing in the elastic structure of the harder first engaging portion 161 after the second engaging portion 162 is engaged with the second engaged portion 133, the first engaging portion 161 is restored. The operation of engaging with the first engaged portion 143 is easy. Therefore, even if the elastic structures are different, the operation of forming the above-described locking state can be facilitated.

  Next, a configuration necessary for releasing the locked state of the main board case 74, the connector caulking cover 130, and the connector caulking plate 160 will be mainly described with reference to FIGS. In addition, FIGS. 13-16 is also referred suitably.

  As shown in FIGS. 10 and 15, the cover outer wall portion 130 a of the connector caulking cover 130 has a cover outer wall portion 130 d located on the upper side and a cover outer wall portion located on the right side in a state where the main board case 74 is in the standing posture. 130e, the cover outer wall part 130f located in the lower side, and the cover outer wall part 130g located in the left side. The plate insertion space 132 protrudes along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 from the right end portion of the cover outer wall portion 130d, the upper portion of the cover outer wall portion 130e, the right end portion of the cover outer wall portion 130f, and the cover portion 130c. The cover inner wall portion 130j is provided so as to face the upper half of the cover outer wall portion 130e.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the cover outer wall 130e extends from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge of the cover outer wall 130e, and a cover gap 130h having a predetermined width is formed. In other words, the cover gap 130 h is formed in the cover outer wall portion 130 e that forms the insertion space 150. The length at which the cover gap 130h is formed is L1. The cover outer wall portion 130e is divided into a lower cover outer wall portion 130e1 and an upper cover outer wall portion 130e2 with a cover gap 130h interposed therebetween. The cover outer wall portion 130e covers the cover gap 130h across the upper end of the cover outer wall portion 130e1 and the lower end of the cover outer wall portion 130e2 from the opening edge of the plate insertion space 150 to approximately the middle position of the length L1 described above. Are provided with a first bulging portion 136 that bulges outside the cover outer wall portion 130e. The length in which the first bulging portion 136 is formed is L2.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the cover outer wall portion 130d extends from a position slightly away from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge of the cover outer wall portion 130d, and a cover gap 130i having a predetermined width is formed. Yes. The length at which the cover gap 130i is formed is L3. The cover outer wall portion 130e is divided into a right cover outer wall portion 130d1 and a left cover outer wall portion 130d2 with a cover gap 130i interposed therebetween. The cover outer wall portion 130d1 is a wall portion forming the plate insertion space 150. In other words, the cover gap 130 i is formed at a location in contact with the cover outer wall portion 130 d 1 that forms the plate insertion space 150. The cover outer wall portion 130d covers the cover gap 130i from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to a position slightly shorter than the above-described length L3 across the left end of the cover outer wall portion 130d1 and the right end of the cover outer wall portion 130d2. Is provided with a second bulging portion 137 that bulges outside the cover outer wall portion 130d. The length at which the second bulging portion 137 is formed is L4. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the second bulging portion 137 is bent along the cover portion 130c and the cover outer wall portion 130d so as to cover the front side and the upper side of the cover gap 130i.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 15, the cover inner wall portion 130j has a cover gap 130k extending from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge portion of the cover inner wall portion 130j and having a predetermined width on the insertion space forming wall 130b. Is formed. In other words, the cover gap 130 k is formed in the cover inner wall portion 130 j that forms the plate insertion space 150. The length in which the cover gap 130k is formed is the same as the length L2 in which the first bulging portion 136 is formed. The cover inner wall portion 130j is divided into a lower cover inner wall portion 130j1 and an upper cover inner wall portion 130j2 with a cover gap 130k interposed therebetween.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the cover 130c is provided with a cover gap 130l that connects the cover gap 130i and the cover gap 130k. The cover gaps 130i, 130k, 130l are also connected to the cover gap 130h via the plate insertion space 150. That is, the cover gaps 130h, 130i, 130k, 130l and the plate insertion space 150 constitute one gap. The cover outer wall portions 130d1, 130e1, 130f, 130g, the cover portion 130c, and the cover outer wall portions 130d2, 130e2 are separated from each other with the cover gaps 130h, 130i, 130j, 130k and the plate insertion space 150 interposed therebetween. The first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 are connected together. In other words, the cover outer wall portions 130d2 and 130e2 are located between the first bulge portion 136 and the second bulge portion 137.

  With reference to FIG. 9 as well, a second engaged portion 133 is provided on the inner surface side of the cover outer wall portion 130e2. Further, the first bulging portion 136 has a caulking protruding portion 165 that protrudes from the connector caulking plate 160 inserted in a space formed by the bulging. The caulking protrusion 165 has substantially the same length as the length L2 of the first bulge portion 136.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the main board case 74 is provided with a region where the connector 95 a is connected at a position that is recessed toward the case lower 72 side of the non-cover surface 71 c of the case upper 71. The region to which the connector 95a is connected includes a case outer wall portion 147c located on the upper side of the connector 95a, a case outer wall portion 147d located on the right side of the connector 95a, a case outer wall portion 147e located on the lower side of the connector 95a, a connector It is comprised by the case outer wall part 147f located in the left side of 95a. The case outer wall portion 147d forms a plate insertion space 147 together with the case outer wall portion 147g located further outside.

  The case outer wall portion 147g is formed with a case protruding portion 147b that protrudes outward from the wall surface. The case protrusion 147b extends from the rear end of the first bulge portion 136 to the flat surface of the region to which the connector 95a is connected. The length in which the case protrusion 147b is formed is L5. As shown in FIG. 11, the case protrusion 147b is arranged at a position vertically aligned with the first bulge 136 along the above-described cover gap 130h. The case protrusion 147 b protrudes in the same direction as the caulking protrusion 165 inserted into the first bulge portion 136. As shown in FIG. 12, the case protruding portion 147 b is formed so that the protruding amount outward from the first bulging portion 136 is shorter when the connector caulking cover 130 is viewed from the upper surface side. As shown in FIG. 10, the case protruding portion 147 b is located so as to be hidden behind the first bulging portion 136 and the caulking protruding portion 165 when the standing main board case 74 is viewed from the front. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the front door 12 of the slot machine 10 is opened, the connector caulking cover 130 side portion such as the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137, and the caulking protrusion Although the connector caulking plate 160 side portion such as 165 can be visually recognized, the case protruding portion 147b on the main board case 74 side can be made difficult to visually recognize.

  Next, an operation for releasing the locked state will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When the first bulging portion 136 is cut along the cutting portion S1 indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 10 and the second bulging portion 137 is cut along the cutting portion S2 indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The joints between the cover outer wall portions 130d1, 130e1, 130f, and 130g, the cover portion 130c, and the cover outer wall portions 130d2 and 130e2 are cut. Therefore, the cover outer wall portions 130d2, 130e2 are separated from the cover outer wall portions 130d1, 130e1, 130f, 130g, and the cover portion 130c with the cover gaps 130h, 130i, 130k, 130l and the plate insertion space 150 interposed therebetween.

  When the cover outer wall portions 130d2 and 130e2 are separated from the connector caulking cover 130, the second engaged portion 133 engaged with the second engagement portion 162 of the connector caulking plate 160 also becomes the cover outer wall portion 130d2, It will be separated from the connector caulking cover 130 together with 130e2. When the engagement at the second engagement portion 162 is released, the connector caulking plate 160 can freely move the insertion space 150 along the cover inner wall portion 130j. When the engagement at the second engagement portion 162 is thus released, the engagement between the first engagement portion 161 of the connector caulking plate 160 and the first engaged portion 143 of the main board case 74 is released. Even if not, the locked state of the main board case 74, the connector caulking cover 130, and the connector caulking plate 160 is released.

  Further, when the first bulging portion 136 is cut, not only the connector caulking cover 130 is cut, but also the caulking protrusion 165 is cut, so that the connector caulking cover 130 is cut along the cut portion S1 shown in FIG. And the connector caulking plate 160 are left with traces of fracture that occur during cutting. Specifically, the first bulging portion 136 of the connector caulking cover 130 and the caulking protrusion 165 of the connector caulking plate 160 overlap with each other in the vertical and horizontal directions when viewed from the front of the gaming machine. In order to release the state in which the caulking cover 130 cannot be attached / detached, the caulking cover 130 is broken along the cut portion S1. Therefore, a damage trace remains on both the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160 after one breakdown. Thereby, even if the connector caulking cover 130 is broken, it is possible to make it difficult to take out the connector caulking plate 160 without being damaged. Further, since the destruction trace remains on both the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160, it becomes easy to find such an illegal act.

  Further, when the first bulging portion 136 is cut, not only a part of the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160 is cut, but also the first bulging portion 136 and the like as shown in the cutting portion S1 shown in FIG. Of the case protrusions 147b arranged at the aligned positions, a portion adjacent to the first bulging portion 136 (the case protrusion 147b of the main board case 74) may be destroyed. Of course, if an operator who knows the shape of the main board case 74 carefully cuts only the first bulging portion 136, only the first bulging portion 136 can be broken without breaking the case protrusion 147b. In some cases, as described above, the case protrusion 147b is positioned so as to be hidden behind the first bulge portion 136 and the caulking protrusion 165 when the standing main board case 74 is viewed from the front. Therefore, when the first bulging portion 136 is cut, there is a possibility that the case protruding portion 147b may be broken without knowing it, as in the cut portion S1 shown in FIG. Thus, when cutting the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 not only in the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160 but also in the main board case 74 along the cutting location S1 and the cutting location S2. There is a possibility of leaving traces of destruction. Therefore, it becomes easier to find frauds as much damage remains.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 10 of the first embodiment, the main board case 74 is attached to a predetermined part, and the main control board 73 inside the main board case 74 performs control related to the game. The connector caulking cover 130 that covers the area to which the connector 95a of the main board case 74 is connected is attached in a detachable state by the cover attaching mechanism 141 and is not detachable by the connector caulking plate 160. The slot machine 10 according to the present invention is shipped through the mounting in the above. As a result, in a state where the cover mounting mechanism 141 can be attached and detached, the adjustment operation of the attachment of the connector caulking cover 130 can be performed. It is difficult to remove the connector caulking cover 130 from the region to be removed. That is, the slot machine 10 after shipment is in a state in which it is difficult to perform unauthorized access to the area to which the connector 95a of the main board case 74 is connected. Therefore, it is possible to provide the slot machine 10 capable of making it difficult to perform an illegal act performed through the region to which the connector 95a is connected with the main board case 74 normally attached.

  Here, the “non-detachable state” is a state where it cannot be removed with normal force, and if it is forcibly removed, either or both of the attached members are damaged. means.

  Further, the state in which the connector caulking plate 160 cannot be attached / detached is more difficult to see from the front of the slot machine 10 than the second engaging portion 162, and the slot machine than the first engaging portion 161. 10 is formed with a second engagement portion 162 that is easily visible from the front. Thereby, the main board case 74 can be made strong against fraud. That is, when the fraudster tries to remove the connector caulking cover 130 that has been made undetachable by the second means, the first person is disposed at a position that is easily visible from the front of the slot machine 10. An attempt is made to release the attached state at the joint 161. However, even if the attachment state at the first engagement portion 161 can be released, the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be removed from the main board case 74 unless the attachment state at the second engagement portion 162 is released. At this time, the second engaging portion 162 is disposed at a position where it is difficult to visually recognize from the front of the slot machine 10, so that an unauthorized person cannot easily notice the presence of the second engaging portion 162. For this reason, since it takes time to accomplish the fraudulent act, the main board case 74 can be made strong against the fraudulent act.

  “The state in which the second engagement portion 162 is less visible from the front of the slot machine 10” and “the state in which the first engagement portion 161 is easier to see from the front of the slot machine 10” are the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 161. The difference in the position where the engaging part 162 is disposed, the difference in the shape of the first engaging part 161 and the second engaging part 162, and the size of the first engaging part 161 and the second engaging part 162 This is a state caused by a difference.

  The first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 are arranged separately in the front and rear with reference to a predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-cover surface 71c) in the main board case 74. The first engaging portion 161 is located behind a predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-cover surface 71c) in the main substrate case 74, that is, more than a predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-cover surface 71c) in the main substrate case 74. Although arranged at a position approaching the control board 73, the second engaging portion 162 is located on the front side of a predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-cover surface 71 c) in the main board case 74, that is, in the main board case 74. Since it is disposed at a position farther from the main control board 73 than a predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-cover surface 71c), it is easily visible from the front of the slot machine 10. Therefore, it is possible to make the first engagement portion 161 less visible from the front of the slot machine 10 than the second engagement portion 162.

  Further, since the second engagement portion 162 is hidden behind the portion of the main board case 74 that constitutes the cover attachment mechanism 141, the second engagement portion 162 material is found when viewed from the front of the slot machine 10. Can be spicy.

  Of the main board case 74, the cover mounting mechanism 141, and the connector caulking plate 160, at least the main board case 74 and the connector caulking plate 160 are resins having a common transparency in either colorless, same color, or similar colors. Therefore, it is difficult to notice how to release the non-detachable state formed by the connector caulking plate 160. The main board case 74, the cover mounting mechanism 141, and the connector caulking plate 160 may all be made of a resin having transparency that is colorless, the same color, or a similar color.

  Further, if the main board case 74 attached in a detachable state by the cover attachment mechanism 141 and the connector caulking cover 130 are locked by the connector caulking plate 160, the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be detached. Since it is in the locked state, the operation of forming the locked state is simplified.

  Further, by placing the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 in a detachable attachment state, the plate insertion space 142 provided in the main board case 74 and the plate insertion space 132 provided in the connector caulking cover 130 can be connected to each other. A plate insertion space 150 into which the caulking plate 160 is inserted is formed. By inserting the connector caulking plate 160 into the plate insertion space 150, a locking state is formed in which the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are not removable. Thus, in the locked state in which the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, if the member forming the plate insertion space 150 is broken in order to release this locked state illegally, this plate insertion space Both the main board case 74 having a portion 150 and the connector caulking cover 130 are easily broken. If both the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are destroyed, even if the locked state is illegally released, a destruction trace remains in both the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130. Therefore, it becomes easier to find frauds as much damage remains. Further, it is possible to make it difficult to make an unauthorized main board case 74 that reuses the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 after the locked state has been illegally released intact.

  In addition, when the above-described locking state is formed, the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 of the connector caulking plate 160 are engaged with the first engaged portion of the main board case 74, respectively. The portion 143 is different from the second engaged portion 133 of the connector caulking cover 130. Thereby, in the above-described locked state, if the engagement between the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is illegally released, a destruction trace remains in the main board case 74, and the second engaging portion If the engagement between the 162 and the second engaged portion 133 is illegally released, a trace of destruction remains on the connector caulking cover 130. Therefore, it becomes easier to find frauds as much damage remains. In addition, it is possible to make it difficult to make an unauthorized main board case 74 that reuses the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 after the above-described locking state has been illegally released intact.

  Further, the shape of engagement between the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is different from the shape of engagement between the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133. . Accordingly, in the above-described locked state, the second engagement is not performed unless a method different from the method employed when illegally releasing the engagement between the first engagement portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is employed. It is possible to make it difficult to illegally release the engagement between the portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133. Therefore, it takes time to release the engagement between the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 and to release the engagement between the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133. As a result, the main board case 74 can be made strong against fraud.

  The first engaging portion 161 engages with the first engaged portion 143 at a position that is asymmetrical with respect to the center line drawn along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160, and the second engaging portion 143 is engaged with the second engaged portion 143. The engaging state is formed by the engaging portion 162 engaging with the second engaged portion 133. As a result, in the locked state, the position for performing the operation of illegally releasing the engagement between the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143, the second engaging portion 162, and the second engaged portion. The position where the operation for illegally releasing the engagement with 133 is performed differs from the position in which the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted. Accordingly, the disengagement between the first engagement portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 and the second engagement portion 162 are performed to the extent that the work cannot be performed at the same position along the insertion direction of the connector crimping plate 160. By taking time to release the engagement with the second engaged portion 133, it is possible to make the main board case 74 strong against fraud.

  Further, the elastic structure of the first engagement portion 161 and the elastic structure of the second engagement portion 162 are different from each other, and the elastic structure of the second engagement portion 162 is elastic against the elastic force of the second engagement portion 162. With the force when starting to be deformed, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 is hardly deformed against the elastic force. Accordingly, even when the second engaging portion 162 can be elastically deformed against the elastic force when attempting to release the locked state illegally, the first engagement is performed with the same force. It is difficult to elastically deform the portion 161 against its elastic force. Therefore, since it is difficult to perform an illegal act that attempts to release the locked state illegally by elastically deforming the first engaging part 161 and the second engaging part 162 at the same time, the main board case 74 is illegally used. Can be strong.

  When the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, first, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 elastically deformed by the first pressing portion 144 on the first engaged portion 143 side is the original. The first engaged portion 143 is engaged by restoring the shape. Next, the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 elastically deformed by the second pressing portion 134 on the second engaged portion 133 side is restored to the original shape, thereby engaging the second engaged portion 133. To do. In other words, while the elastic structure of the softer second engaging portion 162 is elastically deformed, the elastic structure of the harder first engaging portion 161 is pushed in and restored to the original shape. Rather than pushing in the elastic structure of the harder first engaging portion 161 after the second engaging portion 162 is engaged with the second engaged portion 133, the first engaging portion 161 is restored. The operation of engaging with the first engaged portion 143 is easy. Therefore, even if the elastic structures are different, the operation of forming the above-described locking state can be facilitated.

  In addition, when the main board case 74 is attached to the rotating base 120 and the connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74, the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, so that the main board is obtained. Not only the separation of the case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 but also the separation of the main board case 74 and the rotation base 120 is restricted. On the contrary, if the locked state is released, not only the separation restriction between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 but also the separation restriction between the main board case 74 and the rotation base 120 is released. As a result, the separation restriction and separation restriction between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 and the separation restriction and separation restriction between the main board case 74 and the rotation base 120 can be removed by one operation. it can. Therefore, these working efficiencies can be improved.

  In order to release the locked state, the first bulge portion 136 provided on the plate insertion space forming wall 130b of the cover outer wall portion 130a and the second bulge portion 137 provided at different positions of the cover outer wall portion 130a. And a part of the plate insertion space forming wall (cover outer wall portions 130d2 and 130e2) located between them must be separated from the cover outer wall portion 130a. When the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 are cut, the connector caulking cover 130 is not only cut, but is inserted into the first bulging space 136a formed by the bulging of the first bulging portion 136. By cutting the caulking protrusion 165 that has been cut, the connector caulking cover 130 is left with a damage trace 138 that is generated during cutting, and the connector caulking plate 160 is also left with a damage trace 166 that is generated during cutting. As a result, even if the connector caulking cover 130 is destroyed, it is difficult to perform an illegal act of taking out the connector caulking plate 160 without being damaged, so that the main board case 74 can be made strong against the illegal act.

  In addition, the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 provided at the plate insertion space forming wall (cover outer wall portion 130d) of the cover outer wall portion 130a or the plate insertion space forming wall (cover outer wall portion 130e2). Is cut from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge portion of the cover outer wall portion 130a and along the cover gaps 130h and 130i having a predetermined width, the first bulge portion 136 and the second bulge portion 137. The plate insertion space forming walls (cover outer wall portions 130d2 and 130e2) positioned between the two are separated from the cover outer wall portion 130a. As a result, the locked state is released. Further, when the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 are cut, not only the connector caulking cover 130 is cut, but also the caulking protruding into the space formed by the bulging of the first bulging portion 136. By cutting the projecting portion 165 as well, a trace of destruction generated at the time of cutting remains on both the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160. As a result, even if the connector caulking cover 130 is destroyed, it is difficult to perform an illegal act of taking out the connector caulking plate 160 without being damaged, so that the main board case 74 can be made strong against the illegal act.

  Further, when the first bulging portion 136 into which the caulking protrusion 165 is inserted is cut, not only the connector caulking cover 130 and part of the connector caulking plate 160 are cut, but also the first caulking cover 130h along the above-described cover gap 130h. At least a part of the case protrusion 147b, which is arranged at a position aligned with the bulging part 136 and protrudes in the same direction as the caulking protrusion 165 from the case outer wall part 147g, is also destroyed. Thereby, not only the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160 but also the main board case 74 can leave a destruction trace generated when the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 are cut. Therefore, it becomes easier to find frauds as much damage remains. Further, it is possible to make it difficult to make an unauthorized substrate case intact by reusing the housing case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 after the locked state is illegally released.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may have another configuration that exhibits the same effect. For example, the present invention can be modified as follows.

  <1> In the above-described embodiment, as a configuration corresponding to the first mounting means of the present invention, the cover mounting mechanism 141 formed on the board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 is described as being raised. The configuration corresponding to the attachment means may be an example formed in either one of the substrate case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130. For example, a screw hole is provided in the substrate case 74 as a configuration corresponding to the first mounting means, and a detachable state is formed by fastening a one-way screw corresponding to the second mounting means or the mounting member to the screw hole, This is an example in which a non-detachable state is formed by crushing the screw head of the one-way screw. Such an example is not limited to the one-way screw and the screw hole as long as it has the same effect. Note that the portion of the one-way screw that overlaps the screw head in the substrate case 74 corresponds to the first damaged portion of the present invention.

  <2> In the above-described embodiments, the connector caulking plate 160 is raised as the configuration corresponding to the second mounting means of the present invention. However, as described above, the configuration corresponding to the second mounting means is the connector. An example other than the caulking plate 160 may be used.

  <3> In the above-described embodiment, the connector caulking plate 160 including the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 is described as an example of the configuration corresponding to the locking member of the present invention. The structure corresponding to the member may be a locking member having a different shape, arrangement, and elastic structure from the connector caulking plate 160 as long as it has a similar effect.

  <4> In the above-described embodiment, as a configuration corresponding to the cover mounting portion of the present invention, the main board case 74 including the slide allowing portions 145a and 145b and the slide restricting portions 146a to 146g and the claw-like portions 135a to 135g are provided. The cover mounting mechanism 141 configured with the connector caulking cover 130 provided is described as an example, but a different configuration may be used. For example, the structure corresponding to the cover mounting portion of the present invention includes a locking protrusion provided on the connector caulking cover 130 side and a recessed portion provided on the main board case 74 side, and the connector caulking cover 130 is lightly bent. As a result, the locking protruding piece is locked in the recessed portion, but the locking protruding piece can be removed from the recessed portion by bending the connector caulking cover 130 attached to the main board case 74 again. This is the configuration.

  <5> In the above-described embodiment, the case protrusion 147b extends from the rear end of the first bulge portion 136 to the flat surface of the region to which the connector 95a is connected, but the case protrusion 147b is longer than this. May be. FIG. 17 is a further enlarged view of the partially enlarged view of FIG. 12, and the case protrusion 147b of the main board case 74 according to Modification 1 will be described. In the first modification, the length of the first bulging portion 136 is L2 which is the same as the length of the first bulging portion 136 of the first embodiment. However, the case protrusion 147b is located behind the first bulging portion 136. It extends from a position closer to the front than the end (a position slightly on the front side of the non-cover surface 71c of the case upper 71) to a flat surface in a region to which the connector 95a is connected. The case protrusion 147b of the first embodiment is formed longer than the length L5. The length in which the case protrusion 147b of Modification 1 is formed is referred to as L6. That is, the upper end of the case protrusion 147b of the first modification is inserted into the first bulging portion 136. Therefore, even if the first bulging portion 136 is cut only to the rear end of the first bulging portion 136 along the cutting point S3 indicated by the two-dot chain line, The case protrusion 147b contained therein can be surely destroyed, and a trace of destruction can also be left on the main board case 74 (case upper 71).

  <6> Further, the first bulging portion 136 may be different from the first embodiment instead of the case protruding portion 147b. FIG. 18 is an enlarged view of the partially enlarged view of FIG. 12, and illustrates the first bulging portion 136 of the connector caulking cover 130 according to the second modification. In the second modified example, the case protrusion 147b has the same length L5 as the case protrusion 147b of the first embodiment (the front end of the case protrusion 147b is positioned slightly deeper than the non-cover surface 71c of the case upper 71). However, the length of the first bulge portion 136 of the second modification is formed to be a length L7 longer than the length L2 of the first bulge portion 136 of the first embodiment. The first bulging portion 136 of Modification 2 is formed such that the lower end thereof covers the vicinity of the upper end of the case protruding portion 147b. As a result, when cutting the first bulging portion 136 according to the second modification, the case reliably protrudes even in the case where only the rear end of the first bulging portion 136a is cut along the cutting portion S3. The vicinity of the upper end of the portion 147b can also be destroyed. In addition, since the upper end of the case protrusion 147b is provided at a position deeper than the non-cover surface 71c of the case upper 71, when the main board case 74 is assembled, other members come into contact with the case protrusion 147b. Thus, it is possible to reduce the case protrusion 147b from being accidentally damaged.

  <7> Instead of the connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment, a member that covers a region other than a region to which the connector 95a is connected among predetermined regions of the main board case 74 may be provided. For example, you may provide the sealing member cover which covers the area | region where the sealing member 160 provided in the front of the main substrate case 74 is attached. Since the sealing member 160 is provided in front of the main board case 74, it is easy to access when the front door 12 is opened, and cheating is easily performed. However, when the sealing member cover covers the region where the sealing member is attached, it is possible to make it difficult to access the sealing member 160 and to make it difficult to perform an illegal act on the sealing member 160.

  <8> The connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment covers the area to which the connector 95a on the main board case 74 side constituting the main controller 70 is connected, but the display control board constituting the sub controller 94 An area to which the connector 95b on the sub-board case 94a side that accommodates 94b is connected may be covered. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an illegal act such that the connector 95b connected to the display control board 94b is illegally detached and the hanging board is attached.

  <9> The connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment covers an area to which the connector is connected, but may cover an area that is not illegally accessed after shipment in an area other than the area to which the connector is connected. I do not care. For example, an area where a cable for transmitting a signal transmitted from the main controller 70 to the sub controller 94 may be covered. When the area where the main cable is wired is the main board case 74 or the sub board case 93a, it is possible to prevent an illegal act such that the hanging board is attached between the cables with the same configuration as in the present embodiment.

  <10> The connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment covers an area to which the connector 95a of the main board case 74 is connected, but the connector caulking cover 130 is connected to other connectors of the main board case 74. It does not matter if it covers the area to be processed. Moreover, although the above-mentioned modification 4 covers the area | region where the connector 95b of the sub board | substrate case 94a is connected, you may cover the area | region where the other connector of the sub board case 94a is connected. Absent.

  <11> In the above-described embodiment, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 and the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 are the same material but different elastic structures, but different materials are the same elastic structure. May be. For example, the two engaging portions are both elastic structures such as the second engaging portion 162, but one elastic structure is formed of a resin having a predetermined hardness, and the other elastic structure is bent more than that. This is a case where it is made of a hard resin. One elastic structure may be a resin, and the other elastic structure may be a different material such as a metal. Even with such a configuration, the same operational effects as in the embodiment can be obtained.

  <12> In the above embodiment, the cover member of the present invention is provided in the main board case 74 of the slot machine 10, but may be provided in the board case of the pachinko machine. For example, when the board case is a main board case that constitutes a main control device that executes main control relating to pachinko games, a predetermined area covered by the cover member is a main control of a signal from a sensor that detects a winning to the operating port. This is the area where the connector of the cable to be sent to the board is connected. Of course, the substrate case may be a control device other than the main control device, for example, a sub-substrate case that houses a sub-control substrate of a sub-control device that performs display of identification information on the display device and control of effects associated therewith. Absent. In this case, the cover member covers the region where the connector on one end side of the cable connecting the main control board of the main control device and the sub control board of the sub control device is connected to the sub control board.

  <13> The cover member of the present invention may be provided in a board case of a gaming machine in which a slot machine and a pachinko machine are combined. In this type of gaming machine, instead of inserting medals, game balls stored in the receiving tray are taken into the insertion device, and instead of medals being paid out, game balls are paid out. However, identification information variation display means such as the liquid crystal display 15 is provided, and dynamic display of the identification information is started due to the operation of the start operation means such as the start lever 52, and the stop buttons 53, 54 and 55 are displayed. As a necessary condition, the dynamic display of the identification information is stopped due to the operation of the operation means for stopping, or when a predetermined time elapses, and the confirmed identification information at the time of the stop is the specific identification information. And special game state generating means such as a main controller 70 for generating a special game state advantageous to the player. In addition, even in this type of gaming machine, the above-described auxiliary gaming state may occur during the special gaming state, and the configuration including the connector caulking cover can be applied to fraudulent acts similar to those in the first embodiment. it can.

  <14> The inventions described in the above-described embodiments, examples, and modified examples may be modified, replaced, deleted, combined, or the like as long as they do not conflict with each other. is there.

  As described above, the present invention is suitable for a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, a slot machine, or a gaming machine in which the pachinko machine and the slot machine are integrated.
