  Next, the max bet button unit MB and the stop button unit B1 to the stop button unit B3 will be described with reference to FIG. The max bet button unit MB includes a push button part 90, a sliding support part 93, a button spring 94 as an urging means, and a switch part 95 as a max bet switch.

The sliding support part 93 is fixed to the operation part 65 (see FIG. 1), and the push button part 90 is placed between the release position as the initial position in which the push button part 90 is not pressed and the pressed pressing position. Slidably supported in the vertical direction. The button spring 94 urges the push button portion 90 in the direction opposite to the pressing direction, that is, upward. The switch unit 95 is a transmissive photo interrupter, and includes a connector 95a electrically connected to the main control board 30 , a light emitting unit 95b, and a light receiving unit (not shown). The switch unit 95 outputs a detection signal to the main control board 30 when the push button unit 90 slides in the pressing direction and the light shielding unit 91a of the push button unit 90 blocks light from the light emitting unit 95b. It is configured. The push button portion 90 includes a button body 91 having a light shielding portion 91a, and a decoration portion 92 that is fixed to the button body 91 and covers the upper portion of the button body 91, and is pressed by the player when the game is performed. When operated, the switch unit 95 outputs a detection signal. In the following description, the position of the push button unit 90 that is in a state in which the push button unit 90 slides in the pressing direction from the release position and does not output the detection signal to the switch unit 95 is output. Also described as the operating position. The surface touched by the player's finger when the Max Bet button unit MB is pressed, that is, the operation surface 92a of the decoration portion 92 is sufficiently larger in size in the left-right direction than two standard finger thicknesses of adults. It is formed to have a large value, for example, about 40 mm, and is configured to be pressed by a player with a plurality of fingers.

  The operation position is set to be any position between the release position and the pressing position. If the distance between the release position and the operation position is set to a small value, the player's pressure is reduced due to a decrease in urging force due to aging degradation of the button spring 94, pinching of dust, vibration, variation in part dimensions, etc. Regardless of the operation, the push button unit 90 may cause the switch unit 95 to output a detection signal. In addition, when the distance between the operation position and the pressing position is set to be small, the push button unit 90 detects the switch unit 95 even if the player performs a pressing operation due to dust or the like being sandwiched or due to variations in component dimensions. There is a possibility that a signal cannot be output. For this reason, the operation position is a first range from the release position to a position where the push button unit 90 may cause the switch unit 95 to output a detection signal regardless of the player's pressing operation, and the player performs the pressing operation. The push button unit 90 is set so as to be positioned within the operable position setting range excluding the second range from the position where the push button unit 90 may not output the detection signal to the switch unit 95 to the pressed position. . For example, the first range is a range from the release position to a position separated by 0.5 mm in the pressing direction, and the second range is a range from the pressing position to a position separated by 0.5 mm in the direction opposite to the pressing direction. It has become.

  In addition, when the distance L between the release position and the pressing position is large, the operation position setting range is also large, and the operation position can be freely set within the operation position setting range. If the distance L is set to be large, the operability is lowered and the player may feel fatigued by the pressing operation. In addition, an error of ± 0.2 mm, for example, occurs between the operation position assumed in the design stage and the operation position where the detection signal is actually output by operating the product due to variations in component dimensions. For this reason, when the distance L between the release position and the press position cannot be secured sufficiently large compared to the first range and the second range, the operation position is set to the center position between the release position and the press position. It is desirable that

  Specifically, in the max bet button unit MB of the present embodiment, when the push button unit 90 slides about 1 mm in the pressing direction from the release position, the push button unit 90 reaches the operating position, and the light shielding unit 91a The light from the light emitting portion 95b is shielded, reaches the pressing position when it slides about 2 mm in the pressing direction from the release position, and the push button portion 90 contacts the regulating surface 93a formed on the sliding support portion 93. In contact therewith, the movement in the further pressing direction is restricted.

  The configuration of the stop button unit B1 to the stop button unit B3 is such that the pressing direction is rearward (the direction in which the push button unit 90 slides is the front-rear direction) with respect to the configuration of the max bet button unit MB, Since only the size of 92 and the force required for the operation are different, the other configurations are the same as those of the max bet button unit MB, and thus the description of the configurations of the stop button unit B1 to the stop button unit B3 is omitted. The operation surface 92a of the decoration portion 92 of the stop button unit B1 to the stop button unit B3 has a smaller horizontal size than the operation surface 92a of the decoration portion 92 of the max bet button unit MB, for example, about 30 mm. Are formed so as to have a smaller area than the operation surface 92a of the decoration portion 92 of the max bet button unit MB, and are configured to be pressed by a player with one finger.

  The Max bet button unit MB and the stop button unit B1 to the stop button unit B3 are configured as described above, so that the button spring 94 is aged, dust is caught, vibrated, and the respective component dimensions are varied. And the switch part 95 as a max bet switch or a stop switch is reliably turned on, that is, a detection signal is output by the player's pressing.

  Further, the force required to operate the max bet button unit MB, that is, the force that holds the push button portion 90 of the max bet button unit MB in the operating position against the urging force of the button spring 94 is the stop button unit B1 to the stop button. The force required for the operation of the button unit B3, that is, the force that holds the push button portion 90 of the stop button unit B1 to the stop button unit B3 against the urging force of the button spring 94 is set to a larger value. Is set. Specifically, in order to hold the push button portion 90 of the max bet button unit MB in the operating position, a force of about 1.0 N (Newton) against the biasing force of the button spring 94 of the max bet button unit MB. It is configured to require. Further, in order to hold the push button portion 90 of the stop button unit B1 to the stop button unit B3 in the operating position, about 0.7 N against the biasing force of the button spring 94 of the stop button unit B1 to the stop button unit B3. (Newton) power is required.

  As a result, when the player presses the push button portion 90 of the max bet button unit MB that can be pressed with a plurality of fingers using the weight of the hand, a moderately large operating force is applied to the player. The stop button unit B1 to the stop button unit B3 that makes it easy for the player to recognize that he has requested and operated the max bet button unit MB, and the player presses with one finger without using the weight of the hand. When the push button portion 90 is pressed, the player can operate with a relatively light force to reduce the player's fatigue. Moreover, when comprised in this way, especially when a player plays a game for a long time, the fatigue reduction effect is large. As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, as the size and area of the operation surface 92a of the decorative portion 92 of the button to be pressed are increased in the left-right direction, the force required for the button operation increases. It is configured as follows.
