As shown in FIG. 1, a board housing case 16 is disposed and fixed through appropriate means on a box body 14 fixed to the back surface of a game board 12 of a pachinko machine 10 as a game machine.
The substrate housing case 16 includes a case body 16A and a case lid 16B. The case main body 16A and the case lid 16B are made of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material so that the inside of the substrate housing case 16 can be seen from the outside of the substrate housing case 16.
A control board 18 for controlling a game such as the number of balls of the pachinko machine 10 is housed inside the board housing case 16. Various electronic components such as a ROM 20 in which an important program for determining the jackpot of the pachinko machine 10 is recorded are attached to the control board 18.
An IC tag 22 as a communication circuit body is attached to the substrate housing case 16 so as to straddle the case main body 16A and the case lid 16B. Therefore, in order to open the case lid 16B of the substrate housing case 16, the IC tag 22 pasted across the case main body 16A and the case lid 16B must be peeled off.
As shown in FIG. 2, the package 24 of the IC tag 22 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin material in a rectangular shape. An antenna portion 26 is provided in the package body 24. The package body 24 is provided with an extremely small and thin IC chip 28. The IC chip 28 can record a large amount of information. For example, various information such as a store number where the pachinko machine 10 is installed and a machine number of the pachinko machine 10 are recorded. Further, the IC chip 28 can record the date and time when the pachinko machine 10 was falsified and the person in charge who performed the falsification.
An adhesive is applied to the back surface of the package body 24 so that the IC tag 22 can be attached to the substrate housing case 16 or the like.
As shown in FIG. 1, information recorded on the IC chip 28 of the IC tag 22 can be read by an IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 as a portable information terminal, and the IC of the IC tag 22 can be read. Information can be written (recorded) on the chip 28 by the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30.
That is, the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 has a built-in reading function for reading information recorded on the IC chip 28, and the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 transmits the radio wave, thereby the antenna portion of the IC tag 22. 26, the information recorded on the IC chip 28 can be read.
Further, the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 not only has a function of reading information of the IC chip 28 but also the data of falsification inspection and the like (for example, the date and time of falsification inspection and the person in charge of falsification inspection). A function capable of writing (recording) on the IC chip 28 of the tag 22 is incorporated.
A liquid crystal display unit 32 is formed in the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30. Information read by the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 is displayed on the display unit 32 (for example, “OK” is displayed when the information on the IC chip 28 can be read, and the information on the IC chip 28 is displayed). If the data cannot be read, “NG” is displayed).
Further, the information written in the IC tag 22 by the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 is also displayed on the display unit 32. Accordingly, when the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 writes the inspection date / time and the person inspecting the tampering inspection on the IC chip 28, they are also displayed on the display unit 32.
The IC read / write portable terminal 30 is provided with a switch button 34 and a communication button 36. .
The IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 is provided with a plurality of operation buttons 38. By operating this operation button 38, the IC chip 28 of the IC tag 22 is provided via the IC read / write portable terminal 30 with the name of the person in charge of the falsification inspection performed by the date, code number, etc. Can be written to.

Next, the operation of the tampering inspection system for the gaming machine of the first embodiment will be described.
When performing the gaming machine tampering inspection system of the embodiment, the IC tag 22 is pasted in advance so as to straddle the case main body 16A and the case lid 16B of the substrate housing case 16 as shown in FIG. Accordingly, in order to open the case lid 16B of the substrate housing case 16, the IC tag 22 needs to be peeled off. The number of IC tags 22 to be attached to the substrate housing case 16 is not limited. Usually, one or two IC tags 22 are attached to the substrate housing case 16.
When performing a falsification inspection, an inspection person at the pachinko parlor turns on the switch button 34 of the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 and turns on the communication button 36 to attach the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30. The IC tag 22 is placed.
When the reading function of the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 can read the information recorded on the IC chip 28, the characters “OK” are displayed on the display unit 32. Thereby, the person in charge of inspection can know that there has been no illegal act such as the substrate housing case 16 being illegally opened.
The display unit 32 of the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 also displays past inspection data such as the date and time of the inspection already performed and the name of the person in charge of the inspection. Thereby, the person inspecting can know the date and time of the last inspection and the person in charge of the inspection.
When the inspection person puts the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 on the IC tag 22 to perform the falsification inspection of the pachinko machine 10 and the inspection is completed, the operation button 38 of the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 is operated. Then, the name of the person in charge of inspection is written and recorded on the IC chip 28 of the IC tag 22 via the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 with the date and time of the falsification inspection and the code number.
In accordance with the above procedure, the inspector in the pachinko parlor inspects whether or not the pachinko machine 10 has been tampered with in turn, and the date and time of the tampering inspection, the name of the inspector, etc. are entered via the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 Then, the data is written and recorded on the IC chip 28 of the IC tag 22.
Therefore, the gaming machine tampering inspection system of the present invention can easily inspect tampering of the pachinko machine 10 and know the past inspection date and the name of the person in charge of inspection by looking at the display unit 32. Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not the falsification inspection determined by the rules of the pachinko parlor is being performed according to the rules.

In addition, for example, in order for a fraudster to sneak into a pachinko parlor and replace the regular ROM 20 attached to the control board 18 accommodated in the board accommodation case 16 with a falsification ROM, the case lid 16B of the board accommodation case 16 is removed. When the IC tag 22 is peeled off to open, a strong force is applied to the IC tag 22 and the antenna portion 26 of the IC tag 22 is damaged.
As a result, when the inspection person in charge at the pachinko parlor puts the IC read / write portable terminal 30 on the IC tag 22 for falsification inspection, the IC read / write portable terminal 30 reads the information on the IC chip 28. Even if trying to do so, the antenna part 26 of the IC tag 22 is damaged, and communication is impossible.
For this reason, the display unit 32 of the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 displays a character “NG” indicating that the information recorded on the IC chip 28 cannot be read.
Accordingly, when the IC reader / writer portable terminal 30 cannot read the information on the IC chip 28, the inspector removes the IC tag 22 attached to the substrate housing case 16 of the pachinko machine 10 and removes the substrate. Since it is possible to guess fraudulent acts such as replacing the ROM 20 housed in the housing case 16 with a falsified ROM, the pachinko parlor can take early countermeasures, thereby controlling the game of the pachinko machine 10 in many ways. It is possible to prevent fraudulent acts that illegally acquire the game's balls.
Therefore, if the gaming machine tampering inspection system of the present invention is used, it is determined whether or not the ROM 20 housed in the board housing case 16 provided in the pachinko machine 10 is a tampering ROM as in the prior art. Since it is possible to eliminate the troublesome work of making judgments one by one from the outside, it is possible to easily inspect a number of pachinko machines 10 for tampering in a short time.
For example, even if the fraudster peels off the IC tag 22 and replaces the ROM 20 with the falsified ROM, even if an IC tag prepared by the fraudulent is pasted on the board housing case 16 in order to delay the detection of the falsification fact, the authorized IC This is different from the information recorded on the IC chip 28 of the tag 22. For this reason, even if the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 is placed over the IC, the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 cannot read the information, so that the pachinko parlor can surely know that the falsification has occurred.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the gaming machine tampering inspection system. The same components as those in the gaming machine tampering inspection system of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the tamper inspection system for gaming machines of the second embodiment, an IC tag 39 as a communication circuit body is provided in a binding band 40. The IC tag 39 includes an antenna unit 26 and an IC chip 28.

A lock insertion port 44 is formed through the base end portion 42A, and a distal end portion 42B and an intermediate portion 42C of the binding band main body 42 are inserted into the lock insertion port 44.
Further, an engaging claw portion 46 formed in a saw blade shape along the longitudinal direction of the intermediate portion 42 </ b> C is continuously formed in the intermediate portion 42 </ b> C of the binding band main body 42. Accordingly, when the intermediate portion 42C of the binding band main body 42 is inserted into the lock insertion port 44, the engagement claw portion 46 is engaged with a lock portion (not shown) formed inside the lock insertion port 44. Yes. Moreover, once the engagement claw 46 and the lock portion of the lock insertion port 44 are engaged, the binding band body 42 can be slid in the tightening direction, but cannot be slid in the counter-tightening direction. Yes.
A rectangular piece 48 is provided at the base end 42A of the binding band main body 42. The rectangular piece portion 48 is provided with the antenna portion 26 and the IC chip 28 of the IC tag 39. The antenna portion 26 extends to the binding band main body 42.
The binding band 40 is used by being wound around the substrate housing case 16 of the pachinko machine 10. For this reason, in order to open the case lid 16B of the substrate housing case 16, it is necessary to cut the binding band body 42 of the binding band 40 with a cutter or the like.
Accordingly, when an unauthorized person cuts the binding band main body 42 of the binding band 40 in an attempt to open the substrate housing case 16, the antenna unit 26 is also disconnected. Therefore, even if the IC reading / writing portable terminal 30 is held, the display unit 32. Is displayed as “NG” indicating that information recorded on the IC chip 28 cannot be read.
As a result, the person inspecting can easily and surely know the fact of tampering.
