The prize ball storage tank 204 is attached to a mounting base attached to the top plate of the inner frame 104. As a result, the prize ball storage tank 204 is provided in the upper part on the back side of the inner frame 104. The prize ball storage tank 204 can store game balls replenished from a replenishment route (not shown). When the prize balls are paid out, the game balls stored in the prize ball storage tank 204 are guided to the upper plate 120 (see FIG. 1) on the front side of the game machine 100 through the prize ball payout flow path 206. It will be taken. The payout ball counting switch 208 detects the number of game balls to be paid out through the prize ball payout flow path 206.

An inner frame opening switch 212 is provided in the lower left region of the payout control board case 210. Further, the power cord (not shown) is connected to, for example, a power supply device (for example, AC24V) installed in the island equipment of a game store. As a result, the power supply (electric power) required for the operation of the gaming machine 100 is secured.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the top plate 102a of the outer frame 102 is formed with island fixing holes 300a to 300d for driving nails for fixing the outer frame 102 into the island equipment. A plurality of ribs 301 for reinforcing the inner frame 104 (18 in the example in the figure) are formed on the upper surface of the top plate of the inner frame 104. The ribs 301 are arranged side by side so as to be spaced apart from each other at regular intervals (equal intervals).

The island fixing holes 300a to 300d face the flat surface portion of the upper surface of the top plate of the inner frame 104 without facing the prize ball storage tank 204 in the state where the inner frame 104 is closed (the state shown in FIG. 5). It is placed in a position to do. Further, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are arranged at positions that do not face the rib 301 when the inner frame 104 is closed.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are arranged at a position W1 away from the prize ball storage tank 204 in the front-rear direction of the outer frame 102 (see FIG. 5). As a result, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not face the prize ball storage tank 204.

Further, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are arranged at positions where the distance from the tip of the rib 301 in the front-rear direction of the outer frame 102 is W2 (see FIG. 5), and further, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are arranged. The central axes La to Ld are arranged so as to pass between the ribs 301 (see FIG. 7). Further, the diameter r of each of the island fixing holes 300a to 300d has a size such that the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not cover the rib 301. As a result, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not face the rib 301.

Further, since the upper surface of the inner frame 104 is flat except for the rib 301, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d face the flat portion of the upper surface of the inner frame 104.

Further, in the present embodiment, the distances W3 from the island fixing holes 300a to 300d to the flat surface portion of the upper surface of the inner frame 104 are all the same distance. For this reason, if the nail can be driven in only one place so that the head of the nail does not touch the flat surface of the upper surface of the inner frame 104, the nail can be driven in the other places with the same feeling. You can easily get a feel for the amount of nails.

As a method of preventing the island fixing holes 300a to 300d from facing the prize ball storage tank 204 and the rib 301, as in the present embodiment, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are arranged and the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are large. It is not limited to not facing each other, but it is possible to prevent them from facing each other by adjusting either the position or the size of the island fixing holes 300a to 300d.

Conventionally, the island fixing hole has a function as a mark when driving a nail. If the amount of nails driven into the island fixing holes is insufficient when fixing the game machine to the island equipment of the amusement park, the head of the nail will be the upper surface of the inner frame, the prize ball storage tank, and the rib for reinforcing the inner frame. May cause these damages. Further, conventionally, there has been a problem that the wood chips of the outer frame fall into the prize ball storage tank due to the driving of the nail. However, in the present embodiment, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not face the prize ball storage tank 204 or the rib 301, but face the flat surface portion of the upper surface of the inner frame 104. It is possible to solve the problem that the prize ball storage tank 204 and the rib 301 are damaged. Further, it is possible to solve the problem that the wood chips of the outer frame 102 fall into the prize ball storage tank 204.

[Structure of lower hinge mechanism]
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the lower hinge mechanism 401 (see FIG. 1) includes an outer frame hinge plate 404 attached to the outer frame 102, a hinge cover 406 covering the upper surface of the outer frame hinge plate 404, and an inner hinge plate 406. It includes an inner frame hinge plate 408 attached to the frame 102 and a front frame hinge plate 410 attached to the front frame 104.

The outer frame hinge plate 404, the inner frame hinge plate 408, and the front frame hinge plate 410 are each made of a metal plate, and are fixed by screws (not shown). The outer frame hinge plate 404, the inner frame hinge plate 408, and the front frame hinge plate 410 are respectively oriented so that the plate thickness direction is the vertical direction (in other words, one of the two surfaces is the upper surface and the other surface is the lower surface). The hinge plates are stacked so as to project to the front side of the gaming machine 100.

Further, the hinge cover 406 is also formed in a plate shape, and is arranged between the outer frame hinge plate 404 and the inner frame hinge plate 408. The hinge cover 406 is made of, for example, a resin having a smooth surface.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, an upwardly projecting shaft 404a is provided on the upper surface of the outer frame hinge plate 404. Further, the hinge cover 406 is formed with an insertion hole 406a through which the shaft 404a can be inserted. Further, the inner frame hinge plate 408 is provided with a bearing 408a having a recess into which the shaft 404a can be inserted. Further, the front frame hinge plate 410 is formed with an insertion hole 410a through which the bearing 408a can be inserted.

Then, the hinge cover 406 is attached to the upper surface of the outer frame hinge plate 404 by inserting the shaft 404a of the outer frame hinge plate 404 into the insertion hole 406a. Further, by placing the inner frame 104 on the upper surface of the hinge cover 406 and inserting the shaft 404a of the outer frame hinge plate 404 into the bearing 408a of the inner frame hinge plate 408, the inner frame 104 can be attached to the outer frame 102. The shaft is supported so that it can be opened and closed.

Further, by mounting the front frame 106 on the upper surface 408b of the inner frame hinge plate 408 and inserting the bearing 408a into the insertion hole 410a of the front frame hinge plate 410, the front frame with respect to the outer frame 102 and the inner frame 104. The 106 is pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable. The gap between the upper surface 408b of the inner frame hinge plate 408 and the lower surface 410b of the front frame hinge plate 410 in the height direction is preferably smaller than the diameter of the game ball, and more preferably equal to or less than the radius of the game ball.

Further, the upper surface 408b of the inner frame hinge plate 408 is provided with a regulation piece 408c that regulates the rotation range of the front frame 106. The regulation piece 408c is formed so that the angle between the regulation piece 408c and the upper surface 408b of the inner plate hinge frame 408 is not less than 90 degrees. In the present embodiment, when the front frame 106 is opened, the back surface of the front frame 106 is in contact with the regulation piece 408c, and the opening of the front frame 106 is restricted to a certain range, so that the front frame 106 is opened. It is prevented from getting in the way of the player in the next seat.

The restriction piece 408c is arranged at a position where a gap 412 is formed between the control piece 408c and the end 104a of the inner frame 104 (in other words, the edge of the inner frame 104 and the front end surface of the inner frame 104). The width of the gap 412 is wider than the diameter of at least one game ball (for example, 11 mm). Further, a retracted region 408d larger than the diameter of one game ball is formed on the back side of the upper surface 408b of the inner frame hinge plate 408. When the inner frame hinge plate 406 is attached to the inner frame 104, the retracted area 408d is located behind the end 104a of the inner frame 104.

Then, as shown in FIG. 12, when the front frame 106 is closed while the game ball R is staying on the upper surface of the inner frame hinge plate 408 with the front frame 106 open, the front frame 106 is placed on the back surface of the front frame 106. The game ball R is pushed and discharged to the outside from the gap 412, or the game ball is retracted to the evacuation area 408d.

It is preferable that the tip of the regulation piece 408c has a curved surface so that the game ball can easily ride on it.

Further, the upper surface 408b of the frame hinge plate 408 may be an inclined surface such that the game ball flows down in the lower right direction (in other words, the player side or the manager side with the door opened).

In this embodiment, the curtain plate 414 is attached to the lower part on the front side of the outer frame 102. The curtain 414 is made of resin. The curtain plate 414 and the hinge cover 406 are made of the same color resin.

Conventionally, there has been a demand for improving the design and safety of the hinge used for the outer frame 102. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by attaching the hinge cover 406 of the same color as the curtain plate 414 to the outer frame hinge plate 404, the design of the hinge used for the outer frame 102 can be enhanced. Further, by forming the hinge cover 406 with a smooth resin, the slidability of the inner frame hinge plate 408 can be improved when the inner frame 104 is opened. If the hinge cover 406 is not provided, the outer frame hinge plate 404 and the inner frame hinge plate 408 made of metal may be directly rubbed and damaged, or the metal powder generated by the direct rubbing may injure the hand. The inconvenience caused by opening the inner frame 104 can be eliminated, and safety can be ensured.

In addition, conventionally, when the game ball stays on the upper surface of the hinge plate for some reason when the front frame is open, the front frame is damaged even if the clerk at the game hall does not notice it. There was a request to be able to close the front frame without any problems. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when the front frame 106 is closed while the game ball is staying on the inner frame hinge plate 408, the game ball is ejected to the outside or the game ball is retracted to the evacuation area 408d. Since the front frame 106 is not prevented from being closed, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being caught and the front frame 106 from being damaged when the front frame 106 is closed.

In the above embodiment, the inner frame hinge plate 408 is provided with the restricting piece 408c, but the outer frame hinge plate 404 may be provided with the restricting piece that restricts the rotation range of the front frame 106. Then, the game ball may be discharged from the gap between the regulation piece provided on the outer frame and the end of the inner frame 104.

(Modification 1)
Next, a modification 1 of the above embodiment will be described. In the first modification, the inner frame 500 is provided in place of the inner frame 104, and the ribs 501a and 501b are provided in place of the ribs 301. A detailed description of the same parts as those in the above embodiment will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the above embodiment, the distance between the tip portions of all the ribs 301 and the island fixing holes 300a to 300d is set to W2, but in the modified example 1, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are used. The distance between the tip of the rib 501a on both sides (in other words, in the vicinity of the island fixing holes 300a to 300d) and the island fixing holes 300a to 300d is set to W2 as in the above embodiment, and the ribs 501b other than the ribs 501a are the ribs 501a. By extending the inner frame 500 toward the back surface side, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are not provided at a distance W2 from the tip end portion of the rib 501b.

The island fixing holes 300a to 300d are arranged at positions where the distance from the rib 501a in the front-rear direction of the outer frame 102 is W2, and further, the central axes La to Ld of the outer frame 102 are between the ribs 501a. Arranged to pass through. Further, the diameters r of the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are sized so that the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not cover the ribs 501a. As a result, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not face the rib 501a. Further, since the upper surface of the inner frame 500 is flat except for the ribs 501a and 501b, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d face the flat surface portion of the upper surface of the inner frame 500.

With this configuration, the same problem as that of the above-described embodiment can be solved in the modified example 1, and the same effect as that of the above-mentioned embodiment can be obtained.

(Modification 2)
Next, a modification 2 of the above embodiment will be described. In the second modification, the inner frame 600 is provided in place of the inner frame 104, and the ribs 601a and 601b are provided in place of the ribs 301. A detailed description of the same parts as those in the above embodiment will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the above embodiment, an example in which the distance between the tip portion of the rib 301 and the island fixing holes 300a to 300d is W2 is given, but in the modified example 2, all the ribs 601a and the ribs 601b are used. By extending the inner frame 600 toward the back surface side, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are not provided at a distance of W2 from the tips of the ribs 601a and 601b. Further, unlike the above embodiment, in the modified example 2, six ribs 601 are provided. The distance between the two ribs 601a from both ends is set to X1. Further, the distance X2 between the rib 601b and the rib 601a provided inside the rib 601a and the distance X2 between the ribs 601b are larger than X1. The island fixing holes 300a and 300b are arranged between the ribs 601a on one end side of the inner frame 600, and the island fixing holes 300c and 300d are arranged between the ribs 601a on the other end side.

The island fixing holes 300a to 300d are arranged so that the central axes La to Ld of the outer frame 102 pass between the ribs 601a. Further, the diameters r of the island fixing holes 300a to 300d are sized so that the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not cover the ribs 601a. As a result, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d do not face the rib 601a. Further, since the upper surface of the inner frame 600 is flat except for the ribs 601a and 601b, the island fixing holes 300a to 300d face the flat surface portion of the upper surface of the inner frame 600.

With this configuration, the same problem as that of the above-described embodiment can be solved in the modified example 1, and the same effect as that of the above-mentioned embodiment can be obtained.

In the second modification, the number of island fixing holes facing the plane between the ribs 601a is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more.

[Effect of this embodiment]
(A1) In the present embodiment, in a game machine capable of playing a game (game machine 100 in this example), an outer frame (in this example, an outer frame 102) fixed to an island facility of a game hall is used. A game board (game board 108 in this example) is held, and an inner frame (inner frame 104 in this example) attached to the outer frame is provided. An island fixing hole (island fixing holes 300a to 300d in this example) used for inserting a fixing member for fixing the outer frame is formed, and a storage tank for a game ball is formed in the upper part on the back side of the inner frame. (In this example, the prize ball storage tank 202) is attached, at least a part of the upper surface of the inner frame is flat, and the island fixing hole is in a state where the inner frame is attached to the outer frame. In, it faces the plane without facing the storage tank (in this example, FIGS. 5 and 7). Therefore, the gaming machine can be more optimally fixed to the island equipment of the amusement park.

(A2) In the present embodiment, in a game machine capable of playing a game (game machine 100 in this example), an outer frame (in this example, an outer frame 102) fixed to the island equipment of the game field is used. A game board (game board 108 in this example) is held, and an inner frame (inner frame 104 in this example) attached to the outer frame is provided. An island fixing hole (island fixing holes 300a to 300d in this example) used for inserting a fixing member for fixing the outer frame is formed, and a storage tank for a game ball is formed in the upper part on the back side of the inner frame. (In this example, the prize ball storage tank 202) is attached, at least a part of the upper surface of the inner frame is flat, and the upper surface of the inner frame has ribs for reinforcing the inner frame. The island fixing hole is formed (rib 301 in this example), and the island fixing hole faces the plane without facing the storage tank in a state where the inner frame is attached to the outer frame, and the rib is formed. Do not face each other (in this example, FIGS. 5 and 7).

(B1) In the present embodiment, in a game machine capable of playing a game (game machine 100 in this example), an inner frame (inner frame 104 in this example) to which a game board is attached and the game board (in this example). In this example, the game board 108) is provided with a front frame (front frame 106 in this example) having a transparent window (transparent window 106a in this example) that can be visually recognized, and the inner frame includes the inner frame. A hinge plate (in this example, an inner frame hinge plate 408) projecting forward from the front frame is attached, the front frame is pivotally supported on the upper surface side of the hinge plate, and the front frame is attached to the hinge plate. A regulation unit (in this example, a regulation piece 408c) that regulates the rotation range of the game is provided, and the front frame is set when the game ball is staying on the hinge plate with the front frame open. When closed, the game ball can be discharged to the outside from between the end of the inner frame and the restricting portion (in this example, FIG. 12). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ball biting of the game ball from occurring when the front frame is closed.

(B2) In the present embodiment, in a game machine capable of playing a game (game machine 100 in this example), an inner frame (inner frame 104 in this example) to which a game board is attached and the game board (in this example). In this example, the game board 108) is provided with a front frame (front frame 106 in this example) having a transparent window (transparent window 106a in this example) that can be visually recognized, and the inner frame includes the inner frame. A hinge plate (in this example, an inner frame hinge plate 408) projecting forward from the hinge plate is attached, and the front frame is pivotally supported on the upper surface side of the hinge plate, and the front frame is open. If the front frame is closed while the game ball is staying in the hinge plate, the game ball can be retracted to a retracting portion provided on the hinge plate (in this example, the game ball can be retracted). FIG. 12). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the ball biting of the game ball from occurring when the front frame is closed.
