The locking groove 535 extends rightward from the middle portion of the front surface of the rear wall 531 and is formed in a groove shape opened in the right wall 536. The locking piece 515 of the first base member 510 is locked in the locking groove 535. A second base side engaging portion 537 is formed at the upper and lower ends of the right wall portion 536 of the second base member 530. The second base-side engaging portion 537 is close to the first base-side engaging portion 516 of the first base member 510, and is attached to the first base-side engaging portion 516 and the second base-side engaging portion 537 by a bracket. The bracket-side engaging portion 552 of the member 550 is rotatably engaged.

  As shown in FIGS. 45A and 45B, the bracket member 550 is formed of a transparent resin material into a container shape opened to the left. Bracket member 550 holds main controller 300 (main board case 410) and is coupled to first base member 510 and second base member 530. Bracket-side engaging portions 552 are formed at the upper and lower ends of the rear wall 551 of the bracket member 550. The bracket side engaging portion 552 is formed in a shaft shape extending in the vertical direction, and rotatably engages with the first base side engaging portion 516 and the second base side engaging portion 537. Thus, bracket member 550 is swingably coupled to first base member 510 and second base member 530. The bracket member 550 overlaps with the right wall portion 511 of the first base member 510 and a case holding position (FIG. 38) that is arranged on the upper inner surface side of the right side plate 5b of the housing 5 together with the main controller 300 (main board case 410). ) And a case swinging position (see FIG. 39) away from the upper inner surface side of the right side plate 5b together with the main controller 300.

  When the bracket member 550 swings from the case holding position to the case swing position, the bracket member 550 comes into contact with the right wall portion 536 of the second base member 530, and swing of the bracket member 550 beyond the case swing position is regulated. The swing angle of the bracket member 550 from the case holding position to the case swing position may be, for example, 90 degrees or 45 degrees. On the other hand, when the bracket member 550 swings from the case swing position to the case holding position, the bracket member 550 comes into contact with and overlaps the right wall portion 511 of the first base member 510, and the swing of the bracket member 550 beyond the case holding position is restricted. Is done. At this time, the front wall portion 557 of the bracket member 550 is in contact with and overlaps the rear side (inside) of the front wall portion 517 of the first base member 510 (see FIG. 40B). This makes it difficult for a gap to be formed between the front wall portion 557 of the bracket member 550 and the front wall portion 517 of the first base member 510. Therefore, unauthorized access to the back side of the bracket member 550 (right wall portion 553). Can be prevented. The height of the central portion of the front wall portion 517 of the first base member 510 is lower than the height of the other portions (the upper portion and the lower portion) of the front wall portion 517. Thus, the inside of the main board case 410 held by the bracket member 550 is easily visible from the front while preventing unauthorized access to the back side of the bracket member 550.

  In a state where the bracket member 550 holds the main board case 410 and is located at the case holding position, the control chip 312 and the information display lamp 313 of the main control board 310 are mounted on the right side plate 5 b of the housing 5. 1 The base fixing screw 526 and the like are arranged so as not to overlap on an extension line extending in the left-right direction of a screw hole (not shown) such as the base fixing screw 526. Thus, the control chip 312 and the information display lamp 313 are displaced from the screw holes of the right side plate 5b. Therefore, even if the bracket member 550 or the case body 411 of the main board case 410 is illegally drilled from the outside of the slot machine 1 through the screw hole of the right side plate 5b, the control chip 312 and the information display on the main control board 310 are formed. The terminal on the back side of the lamp 313 does not reach directly. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unauthorized access to terminals of electric elements related to the game such as the control chip 312 and the information display lamp 313.

  Not only the control chip 312 and the information display lamp 313 but also other ICs on the main control board 310 may be arranged so as not to overlap the extension of the screw hole of the right side plate 5b. The portion of the main control board 310 between the control chip 312 or the information display lamp 313 and the electrical connector 314 may be arranged so as not to overlap the extension of the screw hole of the right side plate 5b. The wiring part connected to the control chip 312 or the information display lamp 313 and the electric connector 314 on the main control board 310 may be arranged so as not to overlap with the extension of the screw hole of the right side plate 5b.

  A first bracket-side coupling portion 554 and a second bracket-side coupling portion 555 are formed vertically above and in front of the right wall portion 553 of the bracket member 550. The first bracket-side coupling portion 554 and the second bracket-side coupling portion 555 are formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape in alignment with the first case-side coupling portion 427 and the second case-side coupling portion 428 of the main board case 410, One end side of the body caulking member (not shown) is adapted to be engaged. When the main board case 410 is overlaid on the right wall 553 of the bracket member 550 in a state where one end side of the main body caulking member is engaged with the first bracket side coupling portion 554 (or the second bracket side coupling portion 555), The other end of the caulking member is engaged with the first case-side connecting portion 427 (or the second case-side connecting portion 428), and the first bracket-side connecting portion 554 (or the second bracket-side connecting portion 555) is interposed via the main body caulking member. ) And the first case-side connection portion 427 (or the second case-side connection portion 428). As a result, the main board case 410 is connected and held so that it cannot be removed from the bracket member 550.

  A first case-side joint 427 and a second case-side joint 428 are formed on the front side of the main board case 410 (case lid 421), and the first bracket-side joint 554 and the second bracket-side joint are formed on the front side of the bracket member 550. By forming the portion 555, the first case side coupling portion 427 (second case side coupling portion 428) and the first bracket side coupling portion 554 (second bracket side coupling portion 555) can be easily accessed. Can be. Therefore, using a tool such as a screwdriver or a nipper, the first case-side joint 427 (second case-side joint 428) and the first bracket-side joint 554 (second bracket-side joint 555) are separated from each other. The main board case 410 can be easily removed from the bracket member 550. A first case-side connecting portion 427 and a second case-side connecting portion 428 are formed on the rear side of the main board case 410 (case lid 421), and the first bracket-side connecting portion 554 and the When the two bracket-side coupling portions 555 are formed, the first case-side coupling portion 427 (the second case-side coupling portion 428) and the first bracket-side coupling portion 554 (the second bracket-side coupling portion 555) are accessed. It becomes difficult. Therefore, the first case-side joint 427 (second case-side joint 428) and the first bracket-side joint 554 (second bracket-side joint 555) are separated using a tool such as a screwdriver or a nipper. It becomes difficult to apply force.

  At the upper and lower ends of the bracket member 550, locking claws 556 are formed to protrude leftward. The locking claw 556 is configured to lock to the case lid 421 of the main board case 410. Above and below the front wall 557 of the bracket member 550, bracket-side fixing portions 561 are formed to protrude forward. The bracket-side fixing portion 561 overlaps with the base-side fixing portion 521 of the first base member 510 when the bracket member 550 swings to the above-described case holding position. As shown in FIGS. 46A and 46B, an insertion hole 562 is formed at the center of the bracket-side fixing portion 561. The insertion hole portion 562 is formed in a round hole shape in alignment with the fixing hole portion 522 of the first base member 510 so that the bracket fixing tool 580 is inserted. Four ribs 563 projecting inward are formed at an inner peripheral portion of the insertion hole portion 562 at intervals of 90 degrees. The four ribs 563 can enter the four gaps 584 formed in the engagement pieces 583 of the bracket fixing tool 580 and can be locked to the engagement pieces 583.

  As shown in FIGS. 47A and 47B, the base cover member 570 is formed in a lid shape that can cover the front of the second base member 530 using a transparent resin material. An upper cover-side coupling portion 571 is formed above the base cover member 570. Although not shown in detail, the upper cover-side connecting portion 571 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape in alignment with the upper base-side connecting portion 533 of the second base member 530, and an upper cover caulking member (not shown). Are engaged with each other. A lower cover-side coupling portion 572 is formed below the base cover member 570. Although not shown in detail, the lower cover side coupling portion 572 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape in alignment with the lower base side coupling portion 534 of the second base member 530, and the lower cover caulking member (not shown). ) Are engaged with each other.

  One end of the upper cover caulking member (not shown) is engaged with the upper base side coupling portion 533 of the second base member 530, and one end of the lower cover caulking member (not shown) is connected to the second base member 530. The base cover member 570 is overlaid on the second base member 530 in a state where the base cover member 570 is engaged with the lower base side coupling portion 534. Then, the other end side of the upper cover caulking member is engaged with the upper cover side coupling portion 571, and the upper base side coupling portion 533 and the upper cover side coupling portion 571 are coupled via the upper cover caulking member. In addition, the other end of the lower cover caulking member is engaged with the lower cover side coupling portion 572, and the lower base side coupling portion 534 and the lower cover side coupling portion 572 are coupled via the lower cover caulking member. Thus, the base cover member 570 can be non-removably coupled to the second base member 530.

  Since the base cover member 570 covers the front of the second base member 530 in this manner, it becomes impossible to access the second base fixing screw (not shown), so that the second base member 530 is attached to the back plate of the housing 5. 5e, it is possible to prevent the fraudulent act of temporarily removing the main controller 300 together with the bracket member 550 by removing it from the bracket 5e. Note that the first base member 510 must be locked in the locking groove 535 of the second base member 530 and the second base member 530 must be removed from the back plate 5e of the housing 5 if the first base member 510 is not removed. The base member 510 cannot be removed from the right side plate 5b of the housing 5. Therefore, it is also possible to temporarily remove only the first base member 510 from the right side plate 5b of the housing 5 to prevent an unauthorized act of replacing the main control device 300 with the bracket member 550.

  To remove the second base member 530 from the back plate 5e of the housing 5, with the front door 2 opening the front opening of the housing 5, pierce the base cover member 570 using a tool such as a screwdriver to remove the base. The second base fixing screw (not shown) covered by the cover member 570 is removed from the screw hole (not shown) of the back plate 5e. At this time, the second base member 530 and the base cover member 570 are arranged on the back plate 5e of the housing 5 so as to face forward (the front side of the slot machine 1), so that the base cover is formed using a tool such as a screwdriver. The member 570 can be pierced to allow easy access to the second base fixing screw. Even if the front door 2 closes the front opening of the housing 5 and tries to gain unauthorized access to the second base fixing screw, the second base member 530 and the base cover member 570 are located on the rear side of the housing 5. Since the base cover member 570 is disposed on the back plate 5e, it is difficult to apply a strong force to break through the base cover member 570. Even if the second base fixing screw is illegally accessed, the base cover member 570 is visually recognized from the front side of the slot machine 1 with the front door 2 opening the front opening of the housing 5. This makes it easy to find unauthorized access to the second base fixing screw. When the second base member 530 and the base cover member 570 are arranged in the left-right direction, the operation of handling tools such as a driver inside the housing 5 becomes complicated.

  As shown in FIG. 51A, the bracket fixture 580 includes an engagement member 581 and an operation member 591. The engagement member 581 is formed in a cylindrical shape using a resin material, and can be inserted into the insertion hole 562 of the bracket member 550 and the fixing hole 522 of the first base member 510. On one end side of the engaging member 581, a shaft engaging portion 582 is formed in which the shaft portion 593 of the operation member 591 is slidably engaged. On the other end side of the engagement member 581, four elastically deformable engagement pieces 583 are formed at 90-degree intervals. As shown in FIG. 51 (B), four slit-shaped gap portions 584 are formed at intervals of 90 degrees between the four engagement piece portions 583.

  As shown in FIG. 51A, the operation member 591 is formed in a pin shape using a resin material, and is connected to the engagement member 581. At one end of the operation member 591, a head 592 capable of performing a pushing operation or a pulling operation is formed. A shaft portion 593 that is slidably engaged with the shaft engaging portion 582 of the engaging member 581 is formed at an intermediate portion of the operation member 591. Thereby, the operating member 591 can elastically deform the engaging member 581 in accordance with the operation of pressing the operating member 591 with respect to the engaging member 581 to engage with the fixing hole 522 of the first base member 510. It is configured to be relatively movable between a possible engagement operation position (see FIG. 50) and a non-engagement operation position (see FIG. 49) corresponding to an operation of pulling the operation member 591. At the other end of the operation member 591, a protruding pressing portion 594 is formed. When the operation member 591 relatively moves to the engagement operation position, the pressing portion 594 comes into contact with the inside of the distal end of the engagement piece 583 to elastically deform the engagement piece 583 toward the outer peripheral side. .

  In the board case mounting mechanism 500 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 38, when the bracket member 550 is located at the case holding position, with the front door 2 opening the front opening of the housing 5, The front side of the main control board 310 housed in the main board case 410 can be visually recognized from the front opening of the housing 5 via the case lid 421. Thus, it is possible to confirm whether there is an abnormality in the control chip 312, the information display lamp 313, and the like, which are provided on the front side of the main control board 310. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 39, when the bracket member 550 is located at the case swinging position, the bracket member 550 is also transparent. The rear side of the main control board 310 accommodated in the main board case 410 can be visually recognized from the front opening of the main control board 5 through the bracket member 550 and the case main body 411. Thereby, the presence or absence of an abnormality on the back side of main control board 310 can be confirmed. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily confirm the presence or absence of an abnormality not only on the front side of the main control board 310 but also on the back side of the main control board 310. The presence or absence can be easily confirmed.

  The setting key cylinder 316 is housed in the setting key housing 431 in front of the control chip 312 and the information display lamp 313 in the main board case 410. Thus, a player who does not know the arrangement of the control chip 312 and the information display lamp 313 can use the setting key cylinder 316 from the front side of the slot machine 1 even when the front door 2 opens the front opening of the housing 5. It becomes difficult to visually recognize the control chip 312, the information display lamp 313, and the like. On the other hand, the administrator of the game arcade who can know the arrangement of the control chip 312 and the information display lamp 313 can set the key cylinder from the left front of the main board case 410 with the front door 2 opening the front opening of the housing 5. The presence or absence of an abnormality in the control chip 312, the information display lamp 313, and the like can be confirmed by avoiding the 316.

  Further, the information display lamp 313 of the main control board 310 is disposed above the center of the main control board 310. This makes it difficult for a player who does not know the arrangement of the information display lamp 313 to visually recognize the information display lamp 313 from the upper left of the slot machine 1 even when the front door 2 opens the front opening of the housing 5. . On the other hand, the manager of the game arcade who can know the arrangement of the information display lamps 313 can avoid the setting key cylinder 316 from the front left of the main board case 410 with the front door 2 opening the front opening of the housing 5. T) The presence or absence of an abnormality in the information display lamp 313 can be confirmed. The electrical connector 314 of the main control board 310 is arranged above or behind the main control board 310. This makes it difficult for the cable harness (not shown) connected to the electrical connector 314 to block the front side of the main board case 410, so that the control chip 312 and the information display lamp of the main control board 310 housed in the main board case 410 313 can be prevented from being hindered.

  When swinging the bracket member 550 to the case holding position, the bracket member 550 is fixed to the first base member 510 using the bracket fixing tool 580. At this time, first, the engaging member 581 of the bracket fixing tool 580 is inserted into the insertion hole 562 of the bracket member 550 and the fixing hole 522 of the first base member 510. Then, a pressing operation is performed on the operation member 591 (the head 592) of the bracket fixing tool 580 to relatively move the operation member 591 to the engagement operation position. Then, as shown in FIG. 50, the pressing portion 594 of the operating member 591 comes into contact with the inside of the distal end of the engaging piece 583 of the engaging member 581, and elastically deforms the engaging piece 583 toward the outer peripheral side. . As a result, each of the engagement pieces 583 of the engagement member 581 is elastically deformed so as to expand and engages with the fixing hole 522 of the first base member 510, and the bracket-side fixing portion 561 of the bracket member 550 and the first base The bracket 550 is fixed to the first base member 510 by joining the base-side fixing portion 521 of the member 510.

  On the other hand, when swinging the bracket member 550 to the case swing position, the bracket member 550 is made swingable with respect to the first base member 510 using the bracket fixing tool 580. At this time, a pulling operation is performed on the operation member 591 (head 592) of the bracket fixture 580, and the operation member 591 is relatively moved to the non-engagement operation position. Then, as shown in FIG. 49, the pressing portion 594 of the operation member 591 moves in a direction away from the engagement piece 583 of the engagement member 581, and returns to a state before the engagement piece 583 is elastically deformed. Accordingly, the engagement between each engagement piece 583 of the engagement member 581 and the fixing hole 522 of the first base member 510 is released, and the bracket member 550 can swing with respect to the first base member 510. .

  When swinging the bracket member 550 to the case swing position, the bracket fixing tool 580 is inserted into the insertion hole 562 of the bracket member 550 and temporarily fixed, as shown in FIGS. At this time, the rib 563 of the insertion hole 562 approaches the base end of the engagement piece 583 of the engagement member 581 to restrict the bracket fixture 580 from coming out of the insertion hole 562. Even if the rib 563 of the insertion hole 562 enters the gap 584 between the engagement pieces 583, the rib 563 is locked to one of the engagement pieces 583 forming the gap 584, and The fixture 580 is prevented from coming out of the insertion hole 562. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the bracket fixing tool 580 temporarily fixed to the insertion hole 562 of the bracket member 550 falls out and enters the hopper 51 and the auxiliary storage 53 of the medal payout device 50. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the bracket fixture 580 from being lost.
