  According to the invention described in (1), the first sealing means includes the first sealed part provided in the first case part and the second sealed part provided in the second case part. The second sealing means includes a first sealed part provided in the second case part and a second sealed part provided in the first case part, wherein the first sealed part and the second sealed part are provided. By inserting the sealing member into the sealing portion, the first sealing means and the second sealing means open the first case part and the second case part in a state where the control board is accommodated inside. It becomes difficult. The state in which it is difficult to open the first case part and the second case part is canceled by destroying the to-be-destructed part of the second sealed part. The to-be-destructed part is provided in the second sealed part, but the second sealed part is provided in the second case part in the first sealing means, and in the second sealing means, One case part is provided. Therefore, if the to-be-destructed part is destroyed in an attempt to release the state in which it is difficult to open the first case part and the second case part made by the sealing means, both the first case part and the second case part are destroyed. Traces remain. Since the to-be-destructed part in the first sealing means and the to-be-destructed part in the second sealing means face in the same direction, the to-be-destructed part is provided separately for the first case part and the second case part. It is difficult to stand out.

  This makes it difficult to obtain the first case component and the second case component intact from the board housing case. Therefore, even if two substrate storage cases are prepared, an intact first case component is taken out from one substrate storage case, and an intact second case component is taken out from the other substrate storage case, each substrate Since it is difficult to obtain the first case component and the second case component intact from the storage case, fraudulent acts resulting from the creation of one new substrate storage case from two substrate storage cases It becomes difficult. As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can reduce fraud with respect to the substrate housing case.

A game board is attached to the inner frame from the back side, and a board accommodation case for accommodating the main control board, a board accommodation case for accommodating other control boards, and the like are further attached from the rear side. In the pachinko machine, “the same direction as the direction where the to-be-destructed part faces” is the direction in which the operator is facing when the operator faces the back of the inner frame with the inner frame open. That is, "the same direction as the direction where the to-be-destructed part faces" means the same direction as the direction to which the to-be-destructed part faces in the state where the substrate housing case is attached to the inner frame.

  Next, the case of a slot machine will be described. The slot machine includes a main body having an opening on the front side, and a front door that can be opened and closed on the front side of the main body and closes the opening in the closed state. The substrate housing case described above may be attached inside the main body or attached to the back surface of the front door. When the substrate storage case is mounted inside the main body, the “the same direction as the direction where the destruction target part faces” is the direction that the operator is facing the opening of the main body with the front door open. This is the direction in which there are workers on the side. In addition, when the substrate storage case is attached to the front door, “the same direction as the direction where the destroyed part faces” refers to the front surface when the operator faces the back of the front door with the front door open. This is the direction in which there is an operator facing the back of the door. That is, "the same direction as the direction where the to-be-destructed part faces" means the same direction as the direction to which the to-be-destructed part faces when the substrate housing case is attached to the inside of the main body or the back surface of the front door.

  Note that the above description also applies to gaming machines other than pachinko machines and slot machines as long as the gaming machine adopts the same configuration as the pachinko machines and slot machines.

(3) In the gaming machine according to (2),
When the first sealed portion and the second sealed portion are overlapped with each other, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the broken portion faces, the broken portion in the first sealing means The first sealed portion located behind and the first sealed portion located behind the destroyed portion in the second sealing means have the same or similar shape. To play.

  According to the invention described in (3) above, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the portion to be destroyed faces, the first sealed portion and the second portion located behind the portion to be destroyed in the first sealing means Since there is no difference in shape between the first sealed portion located behind the portion to be destroyed in the sealing means or even if there is a difference in shape, the portion to be destroyed in the first sealing means and the first In combination with the configuration in which the to-be-destructed portion in the two sealing means has the same or similar shape, the to-be-destructed portion is provided separately for the first case component and the second case component. Can make it difficult to notice.

(4) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (3),
Boundaries between the first sealed portion and the second sealed portion and the substrate housing case in the first sealing means, and the first sealed portion and the first in the second sealing means. (2) A gaming machine comprising a shielding part that hides a boundary between a sealed part and the substrate housing case.

  According to the invention as described in said (4), a shielding part is a 1st to-be-sealed part in a 1st sealing means, the boundary of a 2nd to-be-sealed part, and a board | substrate storage case, and a 2nd sealing means. The first sealed portion and the boundary between the second sealed portion and the substrate housing case are concealed from the difference between the first sealing means and the second sealing means that appear at these boundaries. It can be reduced that the portion is provided separately for the first case part and the second case part.

(5) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (4),
The first sealed portion that constitutes the first sealing means is provided with a first feature that can be visually identified, and the second sealed portion that constitutes the first sealing means Has a second feature that is visually identifiable,

Since the second feature that can be visually identified is applied to the second sealed portion, the first feature is applied to the first sealed portion, and the second feature is applied to the second sealed portion. It becomes possible to make it recognize that a pair of to-be-sealed part to which the characteristic is given is a common sealing means. Therefore, the second feature is applied to the first sealed portion that constitutes the second sealing means, and the first feature is applied to the second sealed portion that constitutes the second sealing means. Therefore, the person who sees this has the same structure as the first sealing means 75 in the second sealing portion constituting the second sealing means, and the first sealing portion constituting the second sealing means. It becomes easy to misunderstand that the stop portion has the same structure as the first sealing means 75. Accordingly, a person who attempts to open the substrate case illegally includes a member that forms the first sealed portion and a member that forms the second sealed portion by the first sealing means and the second sealing means. Can be made difficult to notice, and it can be made difficult to notice that the part to be destroyed is provided separately for the first case part and the second case part.

  “First feature identifiable by vision” and “second feature identifiable by vision” are identification of characters, figures, symbols, etc. attached to the first sealed portion and the second sealed portion Features such as information, shape, pattern, and color. Such an invention is effective when the overall configuration of the first sealed portion and the second sealed portion are similar.

Therefore, compared with the case where the position where the first sealing means is arranged and the position where the second sealing means are arranged are the same position in the substrate housing case, the portion to be destroyed is the first case component and the second case. It can be made difficult to notice that the case parts are provided separately.

(7) In the gaming machine according to any one of (1) to (6),
The substrate housing case is
The gaming machine characterized in that the position where the first sealing means is arranged and the position where the second sealing means are arranged are changed between board accommodation cases provided in the same model.

  According to the invention described in (7), the position of the first sealing means at which the to-be-destructed portion is disposed and the position of the second sealing means at which the to-be-destructed portion is disposed are the same model. Since the substrate housing cases provided are changed, the portion to be destroyed is the first case component further than the configuration in which the positions of the first sealing means and the second sealing means are changed only according to the model. And the second case part can be made difficult to notice.

(8) Provided with an attached body to which a board housing case for housing a control board on which an electronic component for controlling a game is mounted is mounted;

  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 invention described in the following (A1) has been made in view of such circumstances, and includes a substrate storage case that can protect a predetermined region of the substrate storage case that is not desired to be touched except for normal use after shipment.

The sub-control device 94 displays the push order for aligning the above-described push order on the liquid crystal display 15 when the auxiliary gaming state is occurring and when the main control device 70 wins the above-described push order. Notification is made.

  Here, for reference in the following description, an illegal act related to the auxiliary gaming state will be described. However, the scope to which the present invention is applied is not limited to prevention of this type of fraud, as described later in the present embodiment. The main control board 73 transmits a signal notifying that the specific role described above has been won to the sub-control device 94. Upon receiving this signal, the sub-control device 94 performs lottery as to whether or not to generate the auxiliary gaming state as described above, and generates the auxiliary gaming state with a predetermined probability. A signal notifying the winning of the specific role is transmitted from a connector of the main control board 73, transmitted through a cable connected to one end of the connector, and from a connector connected to the other end of the cable. It is received by the sub control device 94. Therefore, the auxiliary game state is illegally inserted between the main control board 73 and the sub-control device 94 by interposing an unauthorized member that illegally transmits a signal to the sub-control device 94 notifying that the specific role has been won. There is a case that an illegal act of generating For example, the connector of the main control board 73 is replaced with an unauthorized connector loaded with an unauthorized board (so-called hanging board), and the unauthorized board in the unauthorized connector is illegally specified in the sub-control device 94 as described above. It is an illegal act that causes the sub control device 94 to illegally generate an auxiliary gaming state by continuously sending a signal notifying that the winning combination has been won.

  Here, the structure of the main controller 70 of the slot machine 10 and the mounting base 100 to which the main controller 70 is attached will be described in a little more detail.

Each of the claw-shaped portions 174 is engaged with each other, and the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are assembled. In the assembled state, the case combination unit 170 separates the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 from each other even when trying to separate the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface or the solder surface of the main control board 73. It is difficult to let them.

  Here, sealing means 75 and 76 that make it difficult to open the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 while the main control board 73 is housed inside will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the main control device 70 removed from the rotation base 120. FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the upper case 71 shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the lower case 72 shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is a front view of the main controller 70 supported by the rotation base 120.

  A first sealing means 75 is provided at the right end of the upper side surface of the main substrate case 74, and a second sealing means 76 is provided at the left end of the upper side surface of the main substrate case 74. Each of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 is a pair of layers formed so as to overlap each other at a predetermined position between the case lower 72 and the case upper 71 in a state where the main control board 73 is accommodated therein. Sealed portions 77 and 78 are provided. The pair of sealed portions 75 a and 75 b constituting the first sealing means 75 are provided so as to protrude from the right end side of the upper side surface of the case upper 71 and the right end side of the upper side surface of the case lower 72, respectively. The pair of sealed portions 76 a and 76 b constituting the second sealing means 76 are provided to protrude from the left end side of the upper side surface of the case upper 71 and the left end side of the upper side surface of the case lower 72, respectively. Further, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 open the case lower 72 and the case upper 71 by being inserted into the pair of sealed portions 75a, 75b and 76a, 76b that are overlapped. A sealing pin 79 that is difficult is provided. The sealing pin 79 is inserted into the first sealed portion 75a and the second sealed portion 75b, and the sealing pin 79 is inserted into the first sealed portion 76a and the second sealed portion 76b. Thus, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are in a sealed state in which it is difficult to open the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 in a state where the main control board 73 is housed inside.

  The pair of sealed portions 75a, 75b and 76a, 76b are provided in order to release the first sealed portions 75a, 76a, the case lower 72, and the case upper 71 from being difficult to open. And second sealed portions 75b and 76b having broken portions 78A and 78B formed so as to be more easily broken than 75a and 76a. Specifically, the pair of sealed portions 75a and 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 includes the first sealed portion 75a provided in the case lower 72, and the second sealed portion 75b and the portion to be destroyed. A portion 78A is provided on the case upper 71. The pair of sealed portions 76a and 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 is opposite to the first sealing means 75, and the first sealed portion 76a is provided on the case 71, and the second sealed portion A stop portion 76b and a to-be-destructed portion 78B are provided in the lower case 72. For this reason, when the parts to be destroyed 78A and 78B are broken in an attempt to release the sealed state of the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 formed by the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76, the upper case 71 There will also be traces of destruction under the case 72.

  The 1st to-be-sealed part 75a and the 2nd to-be-sealed part 75b which comprise the 1st sealing means 75 are demonstrated.

  The first sealed portion 75a constituting the first sealing means 75 constitutes a first box-like member 75c that is formed to project upward from the upper side surface of the case lower 72, and a first box-like member 75c. And a boss 75e having a screw hole 75d for screwing the sealing pin 79, which is formed on the surface facing the second sealed portion 75b.

  The second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 has two thin extending portions 75f extending upward from the upper side surface of the case upper 71, and the tip of the extending portion 75f. And a thin bottomed first bowl-shaped member 75g provided. The first flange-shaped member 75g includes a peripheral wall portion 75h surrounding a region for inserting the sealing pin 79, a bottom portion 75i, and a through hole 75j through which the sealing pin 79 formed in the bottom portion 75i passes. It is configured. The extending portion 75f is configured as a part of the case upper 71, but since the thickness is smaller than the first sealed portion 75a constituting the first sealing means 75, the first sealing means 75 is provided. It is configured to be more easily destroyed than the first sealed portion 75a to be configured. That is, the to-be-destructed portion 78A in the first sealing means 75 is constituted by the extending portion 75f.

  The first sealed portion 75a and the second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 are in a state where the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are overlapped and closed. The position of the through hole 75j of the first flange-shaped member 75g that constitutes the stopper 75b and the position of the boss 75e of the first box-like member 75c that constitutes the first sealed part 75a match.

  Next, the 1st to-be-sealed part 76a and the 2nd to-be-sealed part 76b which comprise the 2nd sealing means 76 are demonstrated.

  The first sealed portion 76a constituting the second sealing means 76 has an L shape that extends upward from the upper side surface of the case upper 71 and is bent at a right angle toward the inner side of the case upper 71. The second box-shaped member 76c that is projected and the surface that constitutes the second box-shaped member 76c are formed on the surface facing the first sealed portion 76a, and the sealing pin 79 is screwed. And a boss 76e having a screw hole 76d. A portion bent at a right angle of the second box-shaped member 76c is defined as a bent portion 76f. Between the bent portion 76f and the upper side surface of the case upper 71, a part of the front extension portion 76g on the case lower 72 side overlaps with the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 overlapped and closed. In a state in which a part of the front extension part 76g overlaps the gap, an upper extension part 76h and a second hook-like member 76i described later face the front of the second box-like member 76c.

  The second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 includes a flat plate-like front extending portion 76g extending forward from the upper side surface of the case lower 72, and a front end of the front extending portion 76g. The two upper extending portions 76h extending upward and the thin and bottomed second flange-shaped member 76i provided at the tip of the upper extending portion 76h are configured. The second flange-shaped member 76i is composed of a peripheral wall portion 76j that surrounds a region for inserting the sealing pin 79, a bottom portion 76k, and a through hole 76l through which the sealing pin 79 formed in the bottom portion 76k passes. It is configured. The upper extension portion 76h is configured as a part of the case lower portion 72. However, since the thickness is small, the upper extension portion 76h is configured to be more easily broken than the first sealed portion 76a constituting the second sealing means 76. . That is, the to-be-destructed portion 78B in the second sealing means 76 is constituted by the upward extending portion 76h.

  The first sealed portion 76a and the second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 are in a state in which the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 are overlapped and joined together. The position of the through-hole 76l of the second flange-shaped member 76i constituting the stopper 76b and the position of the boss 76e of the second box-shaped member 76c constituting the first sealed portion 76a coincide.

  For example, the sealing pin 79 is fixed to the bosses 75e and 76e by being screwed to the screw holes 75d and 76d, and is rotated in the loosening direction so that a predetermined portion (for example, screw head) is broken. Special screws such as are used. The special screw may be a one-way screw that cannot be turned in the loosening direction or is difficult to turn in addition to the breaking screw. The sealing pin 79 may be a normal screw that is not a special screw. For example, after screwing a normal screw into the screw holes 75d and 76d, and then injecting a photocurable resin into the first hook-like member 75g and the second hook-like member 76i, it is cured by ultraviolet irradiation, and the upper surface 71 It is also possible to make it difficult to unseal the case lower 72. Further, a member other than a pin shape such as a sealing pin 79 may be used, and the upper case 71 and the case are attached to the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b. What is necessary is just to make the lower 72 into a state which is hard to open.

  Next, the arrangement of the portion to be destroyed 78A and the portion to be destroyed 78B will be described in a little more detail.

  The to-be-destructed portion 78A and the to-be-destructed portion 78B face the same direction in a state where the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b are overlapped with each other. Specifically, in the state where the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 are overlapped and closed, the broken portion 78A and the broken portion 78B are arranged in the direction in which the component mounting surface of the main control board 73 faces, It faces in the same direction as the direction in which the open / close lids 71a and 71b face. That is, the to-be-destructed portion 78A and the to-be-destructed portion 78B face the front of the gaming machine with the main board case 74 attached to the gaming machine main body. The destroyed portion 78A is formed by a part of the upper case 71, and the destroyed portion 78B is formed by a part of the lower case 72, but the destroyed portion 78A and the destroyed portion 78B are in the same direction. Therefore, it is difficult to notice that the portion to be destroyed 78A and the portion to be destroyed 78B are provided separately in the case upper 71 and the case lower 72.

  In other words, the part to be destroyed 78A and the part to be destroyed 78B are on the same side (that is, the side on which the opening / closing lids 71a and 71b of the case upper 71 are provided) in a state in which the substrate housing case 74 is attached inside the main body 11. Located on the same side. That is, since the to-be-destructed part 78A and the to-be-destructed part 78B face the same side with the substrate housing case 74 attached to the inside of the main body 11, the operator opens the front door 12 and the board inside the main body 11 When confirming whether or not the storage case 74 is an improper product based on the presence or absence of the destruction traces of the part to be destroyed 78A and the part to be destroyed 78B, by confirming the same side of the substrate storage case 74, Both the part to be destroyed 78B can be confirmed at a time. Therefore, it is possible to improve the work efficiency for confirming the broken portion 78A and the broken portion 78B.

  Moreover, both the part to be destroyed 78A and the part to be destroyed 78B are disposed at a position closer to the front of the upper side surface of the case upper 71 (position close to the surface on which the opening / closing lids 71a and 71b are provided). In addition, the to-be-destructed portion 78A and the to-be-destructed portion 78B are arranged side by side at substantially the same position in the depth direction in a state where the board case 74 is attached to the gaming machine main body. For this reason, the fractured portion 78A and the fractured portion 78B are not only facing in the same direction, but also disposed at substantially the same position. Therefore, the fractured portion 78A and the fractured portion 78B are on the case 71. And the lower case 72 are provided separately.

  The second sealed portion 75b of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealed portion 76b of the second sealing means 76 are the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portion. When viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the to-be-destructed portions 78A and 78B face in a state where 75b and 76b are overlapped, the shape is almost the same. Specifically, the second sealed portion 75b of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealed portion 76b of the second sealing means 76 have an “8” character that gives an overall square impression. The shape looks like the letter “day”. Therefore, the second sealed portion 75b of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealed portion 76b of the second sealing means 76 are viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the destroyed portions 78A and 78B face. Since there is almost no difference between the shape of the first sealing means 75 and the shape of the second sealing means 76, it should be noted that the parts to be destroyed 78A and 78B are provided separately on the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. It has become difficult.

  In addition, when the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b are overlapped with each other, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the broken portions 78A and 78B face, The first sealed portion 75a located behind the destroyed portion 78A in the means 75 and the first sealed portion 76a located behind the destroyed portion 78B in the second sealing means 76 are substantially the same. It is the same shape. Specifically, the first sealed portion 75a of the first sealing means 75 has a vertically long rectangular portion protruding from the second sealed portion 75b. The first sealed portion 76a is slightly wider than the protruding portion of the first sealed portion 75a in the first sealing means 75. Similarly, the portion protruding from the second sealed portion 76b is vertically long. It is rectangular. Although the first sealed portion 76a in the second sealing means 76 has a gap at the position where the bent portion 76f is present, the gap occupies a small area in the entire substrate case 74 and is difficult to identify at first glance. It has become. Therefore, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the portions to be destroyed 78A and 78B face, the shape of the first sealing portion 75a in the first sealing means 75 and the first sealing in the second sealing means 76. Since there is almost no difference in the shape of the stop portion 76a, the destruction target portions 78A and 78B are divided into the case upper portion 71 and the case lower portion 72 due to the difference in the shape of the first sealed portions 75a and 76a. Can be reduced from being noticed.

  Next, a procedure for setting the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 in a state in which it is difficult to open the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 in a state where the main control board 73 is housed inside is shown in FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG. 10A is a perspective view of the main board case 74 in an overlapped state, and FIG. 10B is a perspective view of the main board case 74 that is closed after (a). 11A is a FF cross-section of the main substrate case 74 of FIG. 9 for explaining the second sealing means 76, and FIG. 11B is a diagram for explaining the first sealing means 75. 9 is a GG cross section of the main board case 74 of FIG.

  First, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are overlapped and closed. Thereby, the 1st sealing means 75 is joined back and forth so that the 2nd to-be-sealed part 75b of the case upper 71 may be located in the front side of the 1st to-be-sealed part 75a of the case lower 72. The 2nd sealing means 76 is joined back and forth so that the 2nd sealed part 76b of case lower 72 may be located in the front side of the 1st sealed part 76a of case upper 71. In this state, the sealing pin 79 is inserted from the through hole 75j of the front second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75, and the screw hole of the rear first sealed portion 75a is inserted. Screw to 75d. The sealing pin 79 is inserted from the through-hole 76l of the front second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76, and screwed into the screw hole 76d of the rear first sealed portion 76a. To do. In this manner, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are in a state in which it is difficult to open the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 in a state where the main control board 73 is housed inside.

  Next, the procedure for releasing the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 from the state in which it is difficult to open the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 in a state where the main control board 73 is housed inside is shown in FIG. 12 will be described. 12A is a plan view of the main controller 70, FIG. 12B is an HH cross section of the second sealing means 76 shown in FIG. 12A, and FIG. It is II section of the 1st sealing means 75 shown.

  Cutting means such as a nipper for a predetermined portion (for example, a portion indicated by a one-dot chain line denoted by reference numeral S3) of the two extending portions 75f of the second sealed portion 75b of the case upper 71 constituting the first sealing means 75 Disconnect with. Thereby, the second sealed portion 75b is divided into a first flange-like member 75g fixed to the first sealed portion 75a of the case lower 72 and an extending portion 75f provided on the upper side surface of the case upper 71. To be separated. Further, a predetermined portion (for example, a portion indicated by a one-dot chain line denoted by reference numeral S4) of the two upper extending portions 76h of the second sealed portion 76b of the lower case 72 constituting the second sealing means 76 is a nipper or the like. Cut with the cutting means. Accordingly, the second sealed portion 76b includes a second hook-like member 76i that is fixed to the first sealed portion 76a of the case upper 71, and an upper extending portion 76h that is provided on the upper side surface of the case lower 72. Separated. In this way, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are operations for releasing the state in which it is difficult to open the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 in a state where the main control board 73 is housed inside. As a result, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 can be opened.

  Here, it is conceivable that an unauthorized person releases a state in which it is difficult to open the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 by a cutting operation different from the above-described cutting operation. That is, for the first sealing means 75, the cutting portion S3 of the second sealed portion 75b of the case upper 71 is cut, but for the second sealing means 76, the first sealed portion of the case upper 71 is cut. It is conceivable that the lower case 72 is taken out intact, for example, by cutting 76a. Also, another substrate housing case 74 is prepared, and, contrary to the above-described operation, for the first sealing means 75, the first sealed portion 75a under the case 72 is cut to provide the second sealing. Regarding the means 76, it is conceivable that the upper case 71 is taken out intact, for example, by cutting the cut portion S4 of the second sealed portion 76b of the lower case 72. In order to reduce such cutting action, for example, with respect to the first sealing means 75, a metal plate is attached along the front surface side of the first sealed portion 75a of the lower case 72, and the second sealing is performed. As for the means 76, the cheating person cuts a part different from the cutting parts S3 and S4 by attaching a metal plate along the front surface side of the first sealed part 76a on the case 71 so as to be intact. When the upper case 71 or the lower case 72 is to be taken out, the different portions may not be cut. In this way, it is possible to reliably leave a cutting trace on both the upper case 71 and the lower case 72.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19 to be described later, the main board case 74 seals the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 sandwiching the control board 73 at the side portions thereof so that the main board case 74 cannot be opened. A case sealing portion 180 is provided. The case sealing portion 180 is inserted from the side surface of the main board case 74 and the sealing cover 182 assembled to a part of the case upper 71 and a part of the case lower 72 in the assembled state described above. A case caulking pin 184 for caulking the lower 72 and the sealing cover 182 is provided. Thus, a structure is realized in which the main substrate case 74 cannot be opened unless the case sealing portion 180 is destroyed.

  Further, the main board case 74 has a main body sealing part 190 for sealing the main controller 70 main body by making the main board case 74 attached to the rotation base 120 unremovable from the rotation base 120. I have. The main body sealing portion 190 is provided at two locations on the front side of the main substrate case 74. The main body sealing portion 190 includes a sealing hole 192 that is in communication with the rotating base 120, the upper case 71, and the lower case 72 when the main substrate case 74 is attached to the rotating base 120. A main body caulking pin 194 is provided which is inserted into the 192 and caulks the rotating base 120, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. Thus, a structure in which the main substrate case 74 cannot be removed from the rotating base 120 unless the main body sealing portion 190 is destroyed is realized.

  Next, the locked state between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 will be described with reference to FIG. 9 and FIGS. FIG. 13 is a partially enlarged view of the AA cross section of the main controller 70 of FIG. 9 for explaining the attachment state of the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130.

FIG. 19 is an exploded perspective view of the main control device 70 for explaining the configuration of the main control device 70 that forms the locked state. FIG. 20 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the exploded perspective view of FIG. 19 from different directions. 21 (a) to (f) are six views of the connector caulking cover 130, (a) is a front view, (b) is a plan view, (C) is a rear view, and (d) is a right side view, (E) is a left side view, and (f) is a bottom view. 22 (a) to 22 (f) are six views of the connector caulking plate 160, (a) is a front view, (b) is a plan view, (C) is a rear view, and (d) is a right side view, (E) is a left side view, and (f) is a bottom view. Also, refer to FIGS.

  Here, description will be made mainly with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 5 described above. The main control device 70 includes a cover member for making it difficult to perform unauthorized access to a predetermined area of the main board case 74. In this embodiment, the predetermined area of the main board case 74 is an area to which a connector 95a for connecting a cable 95 as a wiring connecting the main control board 73 and the display control board 94b to the main control board 73 side is connected. The cover member is in a state in which it is difficult to illegally access the connector 95a.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the main board case 74 is attached to the rotation base 120, and the main control board 73 and the display control board 94b are connected by a cable 95 having connectors 95a and 95b at both ends. The output signal from the main control board 73 is transmitted to the display control board 94b via the cable 95. Based on the signal received via the cable 95, the display control board 94b displays the contents displayed on the liquid crystal display 15. For example, it is in a state where control such as push order notification in the above-described auxiliary gaming state can be performed.

  In this state, the main board case 74 is inserted into the connector caulking cover 130 covering a predetermined area of the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 for locking the connector caulking cover 130 to the main board case 74. Connector caulking plate 160.

  The connector caulking cover 130 is shaped like a rectangular box with no bottom as shown in FIGS. 19, 20, and 21, and separates the inside and outside of a predetermined area of the main board case 74 from each other. And a cover portion 130c that covers a region surrounded by the cover outer wall portion 130a so that a human hand does not touch it. A cable 95 can be passed through the lower surface of the outer wall 130a of the base cover that faces downward with the rotating base 120 to which the main board case 74 is attached in an upright posture.

  The connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74 so as to cover an area to which the connector 95a is connected as the predetermined area. That is, the connector caulking cover 130 is attached so as to cover an area to which the connector 95a is connected in a state where the main board case 74 and the display control board 94b are connected so that the game can be normally controlled. ing. The connector caulking cover 130 cannot be easily removed from the main board case 74 by inserting the connector caulking plate 160. If the connector caulking cover 130 is forcibly removed from the main board case 74 in this state, the main board case 74 or the connector caulking cover 130 is damaged.

  That is, the connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74, and the connector caulking cover 130 can be easily removed from the main board case 74 in a state where the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the connector caulking cover 130. The connector 95a that is covered by the connector caulking cover 130 is not easily accessed illegally.

  An outline of a configuration in which the connector caulking plate 160 cannot easily remove the connector caulking cover 130 from the main board case 74 will be described mainly with reference to FIG.

  The connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into a plate insertion space 150 formed by the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130. The main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 each have a part of the plate insertion space 150. Specifically, the main board case 74 is provided with a plate insertion space 142 that constitutes a part of the plate insertion space 150, and the connector caulking cover 130 has a plate that constitutes a part of the plate insertion space 150. An insertion space 132 is provided. When the connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74, the plate insertion space 132 and the plate insertion space 142 are connected to form the plate insertion space 150.

  That is, when the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be easily removed from the main board case 74, the connector caulking plate 160 is moved into the plate insertion space 142 on the main board case 74 side and the plate insertion space 132 on the connector caulking cover 130 side. It is formed by being inserted.

  With this configuration, when the member that forms the plate insertion space 150 is broken in order to illegally release the state in which the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be easily removed from the main board case 74, the main board case Both the member constituting the plate insertion space 142 on the 74 side and the member constituting the plate insertion space 132 on the connector caulking cover 130 side are easily destroyed. 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 mainly with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. 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 with the main board case 74 attached to the rotating base 120 and the connector caulking cover 130 attached to the main board case 74, whereby the main board case 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 mounting 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. 19-22 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. 15, the insertion direction and the center line are indicated by a one-dot chain 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.

As shown in FIG. 17, the case protruding portion 147b is arranged at a position vertically aligned with the first bulging portion 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. 18, 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. 16, the case protrusion 147 b is located so as to be hidden behind the first bulging portion 136 and the caulking protrusion 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. 16, 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.

  Further, 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 engaging 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 the connector caulking cover 130 and a part of the connector caulking plate 160 are 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 like 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 present embodiment, in the gaming machine including the main board case 74 that houses the main control board 73 on which electronic parts that perform control related to the game are mounted, 74 is a case lower 72 and case upper 71 that accommodate the main control board 73 inside, and a seal that makes it difficult to open the case lower 72 and case upper 71 in a state where the main control board 73 is accommodated inside. Means 75, 76, and the sealing means 75, 76 are a plurality of pairs of seals formed at predetermined positions of the case lower 72 and the case upper 71 in a state where the main control board 73 is housed inside. Sealing pins that make it difficult to open the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 by being inserted into the stoppers 75a, 75b and 76a, 76b and a plurality of pairs of sealed portions 75a, 75b and 76a, 76b. 79 The plurality of pairs of sealed portions 75a, 75b and 76a, 76b are provided to release a state in which it is difficult to open the first sealed portions 75a, 76a, the case lower 72, and the case upper 71, respectively. The second sealed portions 75b and 76b having the to-be-destructed portion 78A formed so as to be more easily destroyed than the first sealed portions 75a and 76a, and the sealing means 75 and 76 include at least First sealing means 75 in which the first sealed portion 75a is provided on the case upper 72 and the second sealed portion 75b is provided on the case upper 71, and the first sealed portion 76a is provided on the case upper 71. And the second sealed portion 76b is provided in the lower case 72, and the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b are mutually connected. In the overlapped state, the portion 7 to be destroyed in the first sealing means 75 And the object to be broken portion 78B of the A and second sealing means 76 is facing in the same direction.

  According to such a configuration, the first sealing means 75 includes the first sealed portion 75a provided on the lower case 72 and the second sealed portion 75b provided on the upper case 71. The sealing means 76 includes a first sealed portion 76a provided on the case upper 71 and a second sealed portion 76b provided on the lower case 72. The first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portion 76b By inserting the sealing pin 79 into the sealed portions 75b and 76b, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are connected to the case upper 71 and the case with the control board accommodated therein. It becomes difficult to open the lower 72. The state where it is difficult to open the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 is released by destroying the to-be-destructed portions 78A and 78B. The to-be-destructed parts 78A and 78B are provided on the second sealed parts 75b and 76b, but the second sealed parts 75b and 76b are provided on the case 71 in the first sealing means 75. The second sealing means 76 is provided under the case 72. Therefore, if the parts to be destroyed 78A and 78B are destroyed in an attempt to release the state where it is difficult to open the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 made by the sealing means, both the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 are destroyed. Remains. Since the to-be-destructed part 78A in the first sealing means 75 and the to-be-destructed part 78B in the second sealing means 76 face the same direction, the to-be-destructed parts 78A and 78B are the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. It is hard to stand out that it is provided separately.

  As a result, it becomes difficult to obtain the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 from the main board case 74 in an intact state. Therefore, even if two main board cases 74 are prepared, an intact case lower 72 is taken out from one main board case 74 and an intact case upper 71 is taken out from the other main board case 74, Since it is difficult to obtain the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 from the main board case 74 in an intact state, fraud resulting from the creation of one new main board case 74 from the two main board cases 74 Acts are also difficult. As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can reduce fraud against the main board case 74. Such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (1) above.

  In addition, when the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b are overlapped with each other, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the broken portions 78A and 78B face, The second sealed portion 75b in the means 75 and the second sealed portion 76b in the second sealing means 76 have the same or similar shape. According to such a configuration, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the parts to be destroyed 78A and 78B face, the second sealed part 75b in the first sealing means 75 and the second sealed part 76 in the second sealing means 76 are used. Since there is no difference in the shape between the two sealed portions 76b or there is little difference in the shape, the broken portion 78A in the first sealing means 75 and the broken portion 78B in the second sealing means 76 Together with facing in the same direction when viewed from the front of the gaming machine, it can be made difficult to notice that the parts to be destroyed 78A and 78B are provided separately on the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. Such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (2) above.

  In addition, when the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b are overlapped with each other, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the broken portions 78A and 78B face, The first sealed portion 75a located behind the destroyed portion 78A in the means 75 is the same as the first sealed portion 76a located behind the destroyed portion 78B in the second sealing means 76. Or a similar shape. According to such a configuration, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the parts to be destroyed 78A and 78B face, the first sealed part 75a located behind the part to be destroyed 78A in the first sealing means 75 and In the second sealing means 76, there is no difference in shape with the first sealed portion 76a located behind the broken portion 78B, or even if there is a difference in shape, the first sealed portion From the difference between 75a and 76a, it can be reduced that the parts to be destroyed 78A and 78B are separately provided in the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. Such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (3) above.

  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.

  In Example 1 mentioned above, the 1st to-be-sealed part 75a and the 2nd to-be-sealed part 75b which comprise the 1st sealing means 75, and the 1st to-be-sealed part 76a which comprises the 2nd sealing means 76, The second sealed portion 76b is exposed in front of the gaming machine, but may be configured to shield a part of these. Such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a diagram for explaining a shielding portion 77A provided in the main board case 74 according to the second embodiment.

  When the substrate housing case 74 is viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the to-be-destructed portions 78A and 78B face in a state where the first to-be-sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second to-be-sealed portions 75b and 76b are overlapped, There is provided a shielding portion 77A that is located in front of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 and hides the boundary between the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 and the substrate housing case 74. It has been. Specifically, the shielding portion 77A is formed on the upper side surface of the case upper 71 in a plate shape protruding upward along the side of the main control board 73 on the component mounting surface side. The height of the shielding portion 77A is about one third of the height of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76. The shielding portion 77A is difficult to see through, for example, by being formed of a resin that is not transparent.

  At the boundary between the first sealing means 75 and the substrate housing case 74, the second sealed portion 75 b is provided on the case upper 71, so there is a gap between the second sealed portion 75 b and the case upper 71. However, since the first sealed portion 75a is provided in the lower case 72, a very slight gap is generated between the first sealed portion 75a and the upper case 71, or no gap is generated. In addition, the boundary between the first sealed portion 75a and the upper case 71 may be easily understood. In FIG. 23, there is no gap between the first sealed portion 75a of the first sealing means 75 and the case upper 71, but the first sealed portion 75a and the case upper 71 are separate components. For this reason, the boundary between the first sealed portion 75a and the case upper 71 is in a state of being easily changed.

  Since the first sealed portion 76a is provided on the case upper 71 at the boundary between the second sealing means 76 and the substrate housing case 74, there is a gap between the first sealed portion 76a and the case upper 71. However, a gap corresponding to the amount of the bent portion 76f is generated. Further, since the second sealed portion 76b is provided in the case lower portion 72, even if a slight gap is generated between the second sealed portion 76b and the case upper 71 or no gap is generated, the second sealed portion 76b is provided. The boundary between the sealing portion 76b and the case top 71 may be easily understood. In FIG. 23, there is no gap between the second sealed portion 76b of the second sealing means 76 and the case upper 71, but the second sealed portion 76b and the case upper 71 are separate parts. For this reason, the boundary between the second sealed portion 76b and the upper case 71 is easily understood.

  Thus, by providing the shielding portion 77A on the front side of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76, the first sealed portion 77, the second sealed portion 78, the substrate housing case 74, and the like. From the difference between the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 at the boundary portion, it is noticed that the parts to be destroyed 78A and 78B are provided separately on the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. Can be reduced. Such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (4) above.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, the configuration in which the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are provided for one main substrate case 74 has been described, but the number of sealing means is as follows. Two or more may be used. Moreover, the main board case 74 may change the position where the 1st sealing means 75 is arranged, and the position where the 2nd sealing means 76 is arranged according to the model of a game machine. Such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating the main board case 74 according to the model A of the third embodiment. FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating the main board case 74 according to the model B of the third embodiment. FIG. 26 is a diagram for explaining three main board cases 74 according to the model C of the third embodiment (a), (b), and (c).

  The main board case 74 according to the models A and B includes three first sealing means 75 and one second sealing means 76. Each of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 is configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and each first sealing means 75 includes a portion to be destroyed 78A, and the second sealing means 76. Includes a to-be-destructed portion 78B.

  If comprised in this way, the to-be-destructed part 78A, 78B is divided and provided in the 1st case component and the 2nd case component by the part which the number of sealing means increased compared with Example 1 mentioned above. It is possible to reduce the notice.

  As shown in FIG. 24, in the substrate housing case 74 according to the model A, the first sealing means 75 is arranged on the right side of the upper side surface and the left and right ends of the lower side surface of the substrate housing case. 76 is arranged at the left end of the upper surface of the substrate case 74. As shown in FIG. 25, in the board case 74 according to the model B, the first sealing means 75 is arranged at the left and right ends of the upper side surface of the board case 74 and the right end of the lower side surface. Is disposed at the left end of the lower surface of the substrate case 74. Since the fixed base 120 exposes the lower surface of the main substrate case 74, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 can be provided on the lower surface of the main substrate case 74. It is possible.

  According to such a configuration, compared to the case where the position where the first sealing means 75 is disposed and the position where the second sealing means 76 are disposed in the substrate housing case 74 are the same as those to be destroyed. It can be made difficult to notice that the portions 78A and 78B are separately provided in the case upper 71 and the case lower 72. Such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (6) above.

  In the substrate accommodation case 74 according to the model C, the position where the first sealing means 75 is arranged and the position where the second sealing means 76 are arranged are changed between the substrate accommodation cases 74 provided in the same model C. doing. That is, as shown in FIG. 26A, the substrate housing case 74 according to the model C has the first sealing means 75 disposed on the right side of the upper side surface and the left and right ends of the lower side surface of the substrate housing case, The second sealing means 76 is disposed on the left end of the upper side surface of the substrate case 74, and the first sealing means 75 is provided on the left and right ends of the upper side surface of the substrate case 74 as shown in FIG. In some cases, the second sealing means 76 is disposed at the left end of the lower side surface of the substrate case 74.

  According to such a configuration, compared to the configuration in which the positions of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are common for each model, the parts to be destroyed 78A, 78B It can be made difficult to notice that it is provided separately. Such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (7) above.

  In the model C, as shown in FIG. 26C, there is also a substrate housing case 74 in which the four sealing means are all the first sealing means 75. If comprised in this way, even if it is the same model C, the to-be-destructed part 78A, 78B will be divided and provided in the case upper part 71 and the case lower part 72 so that all the board | substrate accommodation cases 74 which have the 1st sealing means 75 may be mixed. It can be difficult to notice.

  In the above-described first to third embodiments, an example of the first sealing means and the second sealing means of the present invention is shown, but the first sealing means and the second sealing means are the first sealing means 75. The second sealing means 76 may have a different structure. The first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 having different structures will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 27 is a front view of the main controller 70 supported by the rotation base 120 according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 28A is a diagram illustrating the first sealing unit 75 according to the fourth embodiment, and FIG. 28B is a diagram illustrating the second sealing unit 76 according to the fourth embodiment. 28 is a view of the substrate housing case 74 of FIG. 27 in a state where it is removed from the rotation 120, as viewed from the right side.

  The structure of the substrate housing case 74 of this embodiment will be described. The second sealed portion 75a constituting the first sealing means 75 is a part of the case upper 71, and a sealing pin is attached to the tip of the extending portion 75f extending upward from the upper side surface of the case upper 71. A first hook-like member 75g into which 79 is inserted is provided. The extending part 75f is also a part to be broken 78A having a broken part S3 indicated by a one-dot chain line. The first sealed portion 75a constituting the first sealing means 75 is a part of the case lower 72, and has a first hook-like shape at the tip of the extending portion 75k extending upward from the upper side surface of the case lower 72. A first box-like member 75c is provided in which the tip of the sealing pin 79 is locked in a state of being overlaid with the member 75g.

  On the other hand, the first sealed portion 76a constituting the second sealing means 76 is a part of the case upper 71, and extends in a state of being folded back from the upper side surface of the case upper 71 toward the case lower 72. The bending extension part 76m is provided, and the second box-like member 76c is provided at the tip of the bending extension part 76m. The second sealed portion 76 b constituting the second sealing means 76 is a part of the case lower 72, but bends extending from the upper side surface of the case lower 72 toward the case upper 71. An extending portion 76n is provided, and a second hook-shaped member 76i is provided at the tip of the bent extending portion 76n. The sealing pin 79 is inserted from the front of the second hook-like member 76i in a state where the second hook-like member 76i and the second box-like member 76c are overlapped, and the tip of the pin 79 is inserted into the second box-like member 76c. Locked. A bent extension portion 76m, which is a part of the case upper 71, and a bent extension portion 76n, which is a part of the case lower 72, intersect at the upper side surfaces of the case upper 71 and the case lower 72. The bent extension portion 76n is also a to-be-destructed portion 78B having a breaking portion S4 indicated by a one-dot chain line.

  After the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are sealed in a state in which the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are difficult to open, the to-be-destructed portions 78A and 78B are cut, whereby the upper case 71, The lower case 72 is opened.

  Here, a shielding portion 77 </ b> A is provided in front of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76. Therefore, the state where the bent extension portion 76m and the bent extension portion 76n intersect in the second sealing means 76 is difficult to visually recognize from the front of the gaming machine.

  The first sealed portion 75a constituting the first sealing means 75 is provided with a first feature capable of recognizing a difference visually, and the second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75. Has a second feature that can visually recognize the difference. The first feature described above is also applied to the first sealed portion 76a that constitutes the second sealing means 76, and the second sealed portion 76b that constitutes the second sealing means 76 also has The second feature described above is applied.

  The first feature that can be recognized visually by the first sealing portion 75a that constitutes the first sealing means 75 is, for example, the color that is attached to the first sealing portion 75a. . The second feature that can recognize the difference by the vision applied to the second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 is, for example, the color attached to the first sealed portion 75a described above. It is a different color. Here, the first sealed portion 75a constituting the first sealing means 75 is colored red, and the second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 is white. Suppose that it is colored. The first sealed portion 76a constituting the second sealing means 76 is also colored in red, and the second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 is also colored in white. Yes. In addition, it is good also as colorless and transparent (for example, the same material as the board | substrate accommodation case 74) instead of white.

  According to such a configuration, red is applied to the first sealed portion 75 a constituting the first sealing means 75, and the second sealed portion 75 b constituting the first sealing means 75 is applied to the second sealed portion 75 b. Since white is applied, a pair of sealed portions in which the first sealed portion 75a is colored red and the second sealed portion 75b is colored in white is a common sealing means. Can be recognized. Therefore, red is also applied to the first sealed portion 77a constituting the second sealing means 76, and white is also applied to the second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76. Therefore, the person who sees this is misunderstood that the second sealed portion 76b with the white color constituting the second sealing means 76 is a part of the upper case 71 like the first sealing means 75. It is easy to misunderstand that the first sealed portion 76a to which the second sealing unit 76 is colored red is part of the lower case 72 like the first sealing unit 75. . As a result, a person who attempts to open the main substrate case 74 in an unauthorized manner uses the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 to form the first sealing portions 75a and 76a and the second sealing target. It becomes difficult to notice that the members forming the stop portions 75b and 76b are interchanged, and makes it difficult to notice that the to-be-destructed portions 78A and 79B are provided separately for the first case component and the second case component. be able to. Such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (5) above.

  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, the main board case 74 includes the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76. However, the board housing case other than the main board case 74 can be used as a board housing case for a sub board. You may provide the 1st sealing means 75 and the 2nd sealing means 76. FIG. The main board case 74 is attached to the inner surface of the main body 11 with the surface on which the power switch 81, the reset switch 82, etc. are provided facing the front of the gaming machine. It may be attached in different orientations.

  <2> In the above-described embodiment, an example of the configuration of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 has been shown. The first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 may have different structures as long as the structure has an effect. For example, in the fourth embodiment, the first sealing unit 75 and the second sealing unit 76 are partly colored. However, as in the first to third examples, the color may not be added. Good.

  <3> In the above-described embodiments, the cover mounting mechanism 141 formed on the substrate case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 is described as a configuration corresponding to the first mounting means. A corresponding configuration may be an example in which one of the substrate case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 is formed. 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. The portion of the one-way screw head that overlaps the screw head of the substrate case 74 corresponds to the first portion to be destroyed.

  <4> In the above-described embodiments, the connector caulking plate 160 is described as a configuration corresponding to the second mounting means. However, as described above, the configuration corresponding to the second mounting means is the connector caulking plate 160. Other examples may be used.

  <5> In the above-described embodiments, 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, but it corresponds to the locking member. If the structure to perform is a structure which has the same effect, the latching member from which the shape, arrangement | positioning, and elastic structure differ from the connector crimping plate 160 may be sufficient.

  <6> In the above-described embodiment, as a configuration corresponding to the cover mounting portion, the main board case 74 including the slide allowing portions 145a and 145b and the slide restricting portions 146a to 146g, and the connector caulking including the claw-shaped portions 135a to 135g. The cover mounting mechanism 141 configured with the cover 130 has been described as an example, but a different configuration may be used. For example, the structure corresponding to the cover mounting portion 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. Although the locking protrusion is locked in the recessed portion, the locking protrusion can be removed from the recessed portion by bending the connector caulking cover 130 attached to the main board case 74 again. It is.

  <7> In the embodiment described above, 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. 29 is a further enlarged view of the partially enlarged view of FIG. 18, 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 the same L2 as the length of the first bulging portion 136 of the embodiment, but the case protrusion 147b is the rear end of the first bulging portion 136. It extends from a position closer to the front (a position slightly on the front side than 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 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).

  <8> Further, the first bulging portion 136 may be different from the embodiment in place of the case protruding portion 147b. FIG. 30 is a further enlarged view of the partially enlarged view of FIG. 18 and illustrates the first bulging portion 136 of the connector caulking cover 130 according to the second modification. In the second modification, the case protrusion 147b has the same length L5 as the case protrusion 147b of the embodiment (the front end of the case protrusion 147b is located 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 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.

  <9> 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.

  <10> 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 control device 70 is connected, but the display control board constituting the sub control device 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.

  <11> 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.

  <12> 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.

  <13> 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.

  <14> In the above-described embodiment, the cover member 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.

  The <15> cover member 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 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.
