Protection can be effectively achieved, and the fraud prevention effect can be efficiently improved.
Here, the "signal relating to the payout performance" is, for example, a signal used when setting a set value in a case where the level of the winning probability of the role lottery is set in six stages from setting 1 to 6. , Etc. that encourages the discharge of medals and the like.

  Further, the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention is further characterized in that the unauthorized access hole 430 has a smaller opening area than the ordinary insertion hole 420.

In general, when the opening area of the insertion hole 410 is reduced, it becomes difficult to enter, for example, a bar-shaped object for illegal operation, and it becomes difficult to perform illegal operation.
Assuming that a large number of wiring cables 270 are pulled out from one insertion hole 410 without providing both the normal insertion item 420 and the unauthorized countermeasure insertion hole 430, and the opening area of the insertion hole 410 is reduced, as described above. A large number of wiring cables 270 are passed through the opening having a limited area without any gaps, and the contact area between the wiring cables 270 increases, the frictional force between the wiring cables 270 increases, and the disconnection occurs. The likelihood of occurrence of such inconvenience increases.
According to the present invention, by making the opening area of the fraudulent countermeasure insertion hole 430 through which the wiring cable 270 for transmitting the signal relating to the payout performance is smaller than that of the normal insertion hole 420, the fraud countermeasure insertion hole 430 having a smaller opening area is provided. This can more strictly and preferentially protect the distribution cable 270, which is an important distribution cable 270, for transmitting a signal relating to payout performance.
By making the opening area of the anti-fraud insertion hole 430 smaller than the normal insertion hole 420 in this way, the anti-fraud insertion hole 430 performs more unauthorized operations on the wiring cable 270 without causing inconvenience such as disconnection. It is possible to protect the important wiring cable 270 for transmitting the signal relating to the payout performance more strictly and preferentially as compared with the ordinary insertion hole 420, and to more effectively prevent the fraud prevention effect. Can be improved.

Further, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention, the electric device is further covered with a case,
The connector connection port 260 is formed so as to protrude toward the front side from the opening of the case,
At the front edge of the case, the wiring cable 270 pulled out from the unauthorized access hole 430 is guided to another electric device outside the case, and at least a part of the wiring cable 270 is guided. It is characterized in that a covering guide piece 140 is formed.

According to the present invention, at the front edge of the case, the wiring cable 270 pulled out from the tamper-resistant insertion hole 430 is guided to the other electric device side outside the case, and at least a part of the wiring cable 270 is provided. Is provided, the wiring cable 270 pulled out of the unauthorized access hole 430 is laid along the rear side of the guide piece 140, and at least a part of the wiring cable 270 is covered. In addition, the exposed portion of the distribution cable 270 that is unprotected from unauthorized operation can be reduced, and the effect of preventing fraud can be further enhanced.
When all the large number of wiring cables 270 are made to crawl along the rear side of the guide piece 140, the large number of wiring cables 270 are guided along the rear side of the guide piece 140 in a state where there is no space without a gap. As a result, the contact area between the wiring cables 270 increases, the frictional force between the wiring cables 270 increases, and the possibility of inconvenience such as disconnection increases. According to the present invention, such an inconvenience can be avoided.
In the present invention, the signal relating to the ball-out performance, which is an important cable, is formed by laying the wiring cable 270 for transmitting the signal relating to the ball-out performance drawn out of the fraud prevention insertion hole 430 along the rear side of the guide piece 140. Can be more strictly and preferentially protected.
In addition, the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention further includes a direction in which the connector connection port 260 faces (specifically, for example, an upward direction in FIG. 9 (a negative Y-axis direction)).
A direction in which the wiring cable 270 connected to the connector connection port 260 from the unauthorized access hole 430 is inserted through the unauthorized access hole 430 and pulled out of the connector cover 400 (specifically, for example, in FIG. 9 is characterized by being formed so as to be opposite to the downward direction (positive Y-axis direction).

It is formed so as to be in a direction opposite to the direction in which it is drawn out of 400 (specifically, for example, in FIG. 9, downward (positive Y-axis)).
Therefore, even if a rod-shaped object is inserted from the unauthorized access hole 430, the insertion direction from the unauthorized access hole 430 (specifically, for example, in FIG. It is necessary to make a U-turn from the upper direction (negative direction of the Y axis) by 180 degrees and convert (bend) in the opposite direction (specifically, for example, the downward direction (positive direction of the Y axis) in FIG. 9). That is, it is possible to make it difficult to perform an illegal operation from the unauthorized countermeasure insertion hole 430 to the connector connection port 260, and it is possible to enhance a fraud prevention effect.
If all the wiring cables 270 are drawn out of the connector cover 400 from the tamper-resistant insertion hole 430 having the above-described configuration, all the wiring cables 270 are directed in the direction in which the connector connection port 260 faces (specifically, Specifically, for example, in order to pull out all the wiring cables 270 by 180 in the opposite direction (specifically, for example, in the downward direction of FIG. 9 (positive Y-axis direction)) from, for example, the upward direction in FIG. Therefore, it is necessary to make a U-turn to bend in the opposite direction, and a large number of wiring cables 270 are bent and passed in a limited space area without any space, and the wiring cables 270 are not passed. The contact area between them also increases, the frictional force between the wiring cables 270 also increases, and the possibility of inconvenience such as disconnection increases. According to the present invention, such an inconvenience can be avoided.

Further, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present invention, the position of the opening of the anti-fraud insertion hole 430 is further changed from the position of the cable insertion hole 264 for inserting the wiring cable 270 into the connector 280, from the position of the cable insertion hole 264. Is formed on the opposite side (specifically, for example, the upward direction (Y-axis negative direction) in FIG. 9) (in FIG. 9, for example, the downward direction (Y-axis positive direction) side). It is characterized by the following.
Specifically, for example, in FIG. 9, it means that the position of the opening of the unauthorized access hole 430 is on the lower side (the Y-axis positive direction side) than the position of the cable insertion hole 264.

According to the present invention, the position of the opening of the anti-fraud insertion hole 430 is from the position of the cable insertion hole 264 to the direction in which the cable insertion hole 264 faces (specifically, for example, the upward direction in FIG. 9 (the Y-axis negative direction)). 9 (specifically, for example, in the downward direction in FIG. 9 (positive Y-axis direction)), the cable insertion hole 264 can be further separated from the unauthorized countermeasure insertion hole 430. Can be made difficult to implement.
Therefore, even if a rod-shaped thing is temporarily inserted from the fraudulent countermeasure insertion hole 430 and the insertion direction is once turned 180 degrees to make a U-turn so as to be changed (bent), the bending position and the fraud countermeasure are considered. The distance from the position of the opening of the insertion hole 430 can be made farther, and it is possible to make it more difficult to perform an unauthorized operation from the tamper-resistant insertion hole 430 to the cable insertion hole 264, and it is possible to enhance the fraud prevention effect. .

  If all the wiring cables 270 are drawn out of the connector cover 400 from the tamper-resistant insertion hole 430 having the above-described configuration, all the wiring cables 270 are directed in the direction in which the connector connection port 260 faces (specifically, Specifically, for example, in order to draw out to the illegal countermeasure insertion hole 430 located in the opposite direction (specifically, for example, the downward direction (Y-axis positive direction) in FIG. 9) from the upward direction (the Y-axis negative direction) in FIG. 9. Therefore, it is necessary to turn all the wiring cables 270 by 180 degrees and make a bending in the opposite direction, so that a large number of wiring cables 270 are bent and passed through in a limited space area without any gap and with no margin. As a result, the contact area between the distribution cables 270 increases, the frictional force between the distribution cables 270 also increases, and the possibility of inconvenience such as disconnection increases. According to the present invention, such an inconvenience can be avoided.

In the present embodiment, the anti-fraud insertion hole 430 is provided at a location where there is more area surrounding the wiring cable 270 along the direction in which the wiring cable 270 is pulled out from the connector cover 400 than the normal insertion hole 420. .
Unauthorized countermeasure insertion hole 430 is provided in a place where there is more area surrounding the periphery of the wiring cable 270 than the normal insertion hole 420, so that the wiring cable 270 can be protected more than the normal insertion hole 420, Even if an unauthorized operation is performed on the wiring cable 270 from the outside, the unauthorized operation can be suppressed more than the normal insertion hole 420, and the countermeasures against the unauthorized operation are strengthened.
In the present embodiment, both the normal insertion hole 420 and the fraud countermeasure insertion hole 430 are provided, but without provision of the normal insertion hole 420, only the fraud countermeasure insertion hole 430 is provided, and the signal regarding the ball-out performance is provided. It is limited to pull out all the plurality of wiring cables 270 including the important wiring cable 270 for transmitting the communication cable and the wiring cable 270 that is not such an important wiring cable 270 from the anti-fraud insertion hole 430. A large number of wiring cables 270 are passed through the tamper-resistant insertion hole 430, which is an opening of the area, without any gaps and with no margin, the contact area between the wiring cables 270 increases, and the frictional force between the wiring cables 270 also increases. As a result, the possibility of inconvenience such as disconnection increases. In the present embodiment, by providing both the normal insertion hole 420 and the fraud prevention insertion hole 430 for passing the wiring cable 270, the occurrence of disconnection or the like of the important wiring cable 270 is prevented, and the important wiring cable 270 is removed. Can be protected preferentially.
As a result, the unauthorized insertion hole 430 makes it difficult for the wiring cable 270 to be tampered with, and gives priority to the important wiring cable 270 for transmitting the signal relating to the payout performance as compared with the ordinary insertion hole 420. Protection can be effectively achieved, and the fraud prevention effect can be efficiently improved.

In general, when the opening area of the insertion hole 410 is reduced, it becomes difficult to enter, for example, a bar-shaped object for illegal operation, and it becomes difficult to perform illegal operation.
Assuming that a large number of wiring cables 270 are pulled out from one insertion hole 410 without providing both the normal insertion item 420 and the unauthorized countermeasure insertion hole 430, and the opening area of the insertion hole 410 is reduced, as described above. A large number of wiring cables 270 are passed through the opening having a limited area without any gaps, and the contact area between the wiring cables 270 increases, the frictional force between the wiring cables 270 increases, and the disconnection occurs. The likelihood of occurrence of such inconvenience increases.

The direction in which the cover 400 is drawn out (specifically, for example, in FIG. 9, the downward direction (positive Y-axis direction)) is opposite to the direction.
Therefore, even if a rod-shaped object is inserted from the unauthorized access hole 430, the insertion direction from the unauthorized access hole 430 (specifically, for example, in FIG. It is necessary to make a U-turn from the upper direction (negative direction of the Y axis) by 180 degrees and convert (bend) in the opposite direction (specifically, for example, the downward direction (positive direction of the Y axis) in FIG. 9). That is, it is possible to make it difficult to perform an illegal operation from the unauthorized countermeasure insertion hole 430 to the connector connection port 260, and it is possible to enhance a fraud prevention effect.
If all the wiring cables 270 are drawn out of the connector cover 400 from the tamper-resistant insertion hole 430 having the above-described configuration, all the wiring cables 270 are directed in the direction in which the connector connection port 260 faces (specifically, Specifically, for example, in order to pull out all the wiring cables 270 by 180 in the opposite direction (specifically, for example, in the downward direction of FIG. 9 (positive Y-axis direction)) from, for example, the upward direction in FIG. Therefore, it is necessary to make a U-turn to bend in the opposite direction, and a large number of wiring cables 270 are bent and passed in a limited space area without any space, and the wiring cables 270 are not passed. The contact area between them also increases, the frictional force between the wiring cables 270 also increases, and the possibility of inconvenience such as disconnection increases. According to the present invention, such an inconvenience can be avoided.
