Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、本体枠と、本体枠の内側空間に着脱可能に固定される遊技盤とを有する遊技機に関し、詳しくは、遊技盤の本体枠からの取り外しが不正にできないようにする遊技機に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、弾球遊技機における遊技盤の本体枠の内側空間への取り付けは、遊技盤を本体枠縁辺部にねじなどの締結手段で一体的に固定するのが通常であった。
一方、遊技機には、遊技盤を他の種類に交換できるようにして遊技機を他の機種に変更できるようにした技術が考えられる。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上述の従来技術において、遊技機本体枠の内側空間の遊技盤がメーカーの意図に反して勝手に本体枠から取り外されて他の遊技盤に交換できてしまうのでは、あるいは、その交換したことが分からないのでは、遊技機の同一性を保てずメーカーの保証ができないという問題点が生じる。
また、遊技盤を勝手に取替えられたのでは遊技内容ばかりでなく出球などの利益状態が当初の意図と大きく異なるものとなりメーカーのみならず、ホール、および遊技者にとって不利益になるという問題点を生じる。特に、遊技盤に「大当り」「外れ」などの利益状態の抽選をする制御基板が一体的に固定されている機種では、この問題点が大きい。
【０００４】
本発明は、上記従来技術の問題点に着目してなされたもので、本体枠から遊技盤の取り外しを困難にして不正な遊技盤交換を防止でき、また、本体枠からの遊技盤の取り外しの履歴が分かるようにして不正な遊技盤の取替えが分かるようにできる遊技機を提供することを目的とする。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明においては上記課題を解決するため、本体枠と、この本体枠の内側空間に着脱可能に配設される遊技盤と、本体枠から遊技盤を取り外したことを見つけ出す取外し検出手段とを含み、本体枠に係止金具を配設し、遊技盤には、本体枠の係止金具に対向して本体枠に遊技盤を固定する盤取付け金具を配設した遊技機であって、
取外し検出手段は、本体枠に遊技盤を固定した盤取付け金具に挿通された無端状の線状部材を備え、この線状部材を破損させなければ、盤取付け金具による本体枠に対する遊技盤の固定状態を解除することができないことを特徴としている。
なお、本体枠と遊技盤との間に、折り曲げに伴い跡の残るシール部材を貼り付けても良い。
【０００６】
また、本発明においては、本体枠と、この本体枠の内側空間に着脱可能に配設される遊技盤と、本体枠に遊技盤を固定する固定手段とを含み、本体枠に係止金具を配設し、遊技盤には、本体枠の係止金具に対向して本体枠に遊技盤を固定する盤取付け金具を配設した遊技機であって、
固定手段は、遊技盤に盤取付け金具を固定するねじ部材のねじ部とその頭部との間に鍔部を配設して頭部と鍔部との間を細径に形成し、所定のトルク値以上でねじ締めした場合に頭部がねじ切れることを特徴としている。
【０００７】
また、本発明においては、本体枠と、この本体枠の内側空間に着脱可能に配設される遊技盤と、本体枠に遊技盤を固定する固定手段とを含み、本体枠に係止金具を配設し、遊技盤には、本体枠の係止金具に対向して本体枠に遊技盤を固定する盤取付け金具を配設するとともに、遊技盤の周縁部にはパイプ部を固定した遊技機であって、
固定手段を、パイプ部を貫通して本体枠に装着され、順方向に回して締結した後は、逆方向に回しても外せないワンウェイねじとしたことを特徴としている。
ワンウェイねじで一度締めてしまえば、ねじの取り外しができず、締結箇所を壊さなければ、遊技盤を取り外せないので、遊技盤の交換が不正になされたことが明確に分かるようになる。
【０００８】
また、本発明においては、本体枠と、この本体枠の内側空間に着脱可能に配設される遊技盤と、本体枠に遊技盤を固定する固定手段とを含み、本体枠に係止金具を配設し、遊技盤には、本体枠の係止金具に対向して本体枠に遊技盤を固定する盤取付け金具を配設した遊技機であって、

【００１３】
なお、本体枠の孔と遊技盤の孔とに通され、型孔を貫通して本体枠に遊技盤を固定した板状レバー部材の回転を規制するねじ部材を備えることができる。
また、型孔を貫通した板状レバー部材と遊技盤とに、本体枠に遊技盤を固定した板状レバー部材の回転を規制する無端状の連結線を通すようにしても良い。
【００１４】
また、本発明においては、本体枠と、この本体枠の内側空間に着脱可能に配設される遊技盤と、本体枠に遊技盤を固定する固定手段とを含み、本体枠に係止金具を配設し、遊技盤には、本体枠の係止金具に対向して本体枠に遊技盤を固定する盤取付け金具を配設した遊技機であって、

【００１７】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照して説明する。
図１は、一実施形態に係る本発明遊技機の外観斜視図、図２は、その遊技機の正面図、図３は、その遊技機のガラス扉と受け皿付扉とを取り外した状態の正面図、図４は、図３に示す遊技機から遊技盤を取り外した状態の正面図である。なお、本実施形態においては、遊技機としてぱちんこ機を例として説明する。
【００１８】
一実施形態に係るぱちんこ機Ａは、遊技盤１を内側空間に着脱可能に配設した本体枠２に、その遊技盤１を覆うガラス扉３と受け皿付扉４とを上下にしかつそれぞれ開閉自在に取り付けた外観構成になっている。
【００１９】
本体枠２は、図３，４に示すように、所要の間隔で配設した起立枠材５，６の上下端部間に、上下枠材７，８を横架してなる縦長のものである。
【００２０】
起立枠材５の上端部側には、互いに対となるガイド片９と弾圧部材１０が、また、下端部には、ガイド片１１と弾圧部材１２が配設されているとともに、それらの間に、縦長の案内凸部１３が形成されている。
【００２１】
ガイド片９，１１は、起立枠材５の内側面であって、これの正面側に偏倚して配設されており、それらは、遊技盤１の正面縁部に当接して位置決めする遊技盤位置決め面を背面側に互いに同一面にして形成した略三角柱形のものである。なお、ガイド片９をガイド片１１よりも長く形成している。
【００２２】
弾圧部材１０，１２は、平面視Ｌ字形の取付け板１０ａ，１２ａの先端部に、詳細を後述する遊技盤１の背面に弾接する弾圧片１０ｂ，１２ｂを折曲形成したものであり、これらと対となるガイド片９，１１よりもやや上側に偏倚して配設されている。
【００２３】

係止金具１４は、内端部を所要の角度に折曲してフック部１４ａを形成しかつ外端部を起立枠材６に固定した平面視略Ｊ字形のものである。
【００２４】
起立枠材５，６及び上枠材７の内側面であって、それらの背面側寄りには、正面下向きコ字形の背面板１５が所要の幅にして連設されている。なお、この背面板１５の正面と、前記ガイド片９，１１の遊技盤位置決め面との間は、遊技盤１の板厚とほぼ一致する間隔に設定している。
【００２５】
ガラス扉３は、縦長の方形枠１６に、遊技盤１を視認できるほぼ円形のガラス１７を嵌め込んだものであり、その方形枠１６の上部中央には枠ランプ１８が、また、これの左右にはスピーカ１９，１９が配設されている。
【００２６】

【００２７】
受け皿付扉４の上半部側には、払い出された賞球又は貸し球を貯留する受け皿２１が形成されているとともに、下半部側には、遊技球を１発ずつ射出するための操作ハンドルＨａと灰皿２２とが、受け皿２１を挟む両側下方に配設されている。
なお、２３，２３は受け皿２１内に貯留された遊技球を外部に排出させるための遊技球排出用釦、２４は貸し球用釦である。
【００２８】
図５は、遊技盤の正面図である。
図３，５に示すように、遊技盤１は略正面略方形に形成されており、これの正面には、ゲージ（適宜配設された多数本の釘８４…）を囲繞することにより遊技域１ａを区画形成するガイドレール２５，２６が配設されているとともに、これの正面視において右側縁部に、前記盤取付け金具Ｂ，Ｂが配設されている。
【００２９】
盤取付け金具Ｂ，Ｂは、遊技盤１の右側縁部、詳しくは、前記起立枠材６の係止金具１４，１４に対向する位置に配設されており、それらの詳細な構成は次の通りである。図７は、盤取付け金具Ｂの分解斜視図、図８（Ａ）は、その盤取付け金具Ｂを組み立てた状態の正面図、（Ｂ）は、その下面図、（Ｃ）は、その背面図である。
【００３０】
２７は、左右に長い主板２７ａの両側縁に、この主板２７ａと直角に脚板２７ｂ，２７ｂを折曲形成した断面コ字形の可動部である。
主板２７ａの左端部寄りには、後述するねじ部材３６を挿入するためのねじ挿入用孔２７ｃが、また、両脚板２７ｂ，２７ｂの左端部、ほぼ中央部、及び右端部には、後述する取外し検出手段３５を遊挿するための遊挿孔２７ｄ，２７ｄ、軸孔２７ｅ，２７ｅ、軸孔２７ｆ，２７ｆが、互いに対向して形成されている。
【００３１】
２８は、左右に長い主板２８ａの両側縁に、この主板２８ａと直角に脚板２８ｂ，２８ｂを折曲形成した断面コ字形の固定部である。
主板２８ａにはねじ挿入用孔２８ｃ，２８ｃが互いに所要の間隔にして、また、両脚板２８ｂ，２８ｂの左端部と右端部には、遊挿孔２８ｄ，軸孔２８ｆ、２８ｄ，２８ｆが、前記可動部２７の脚板２７ｂの遊挿孔２７ｄ，軸孔２７ｆに対向する位置に形成されているとともに、前記軸孔２７ｅ，２７ｅに対向する位置には、当該軸孔２７ｅよりも幅広の溝２８ｅ，２８ｅが形成されている。
【００３２】
前記可動部２７と固定部２８とは、これらの両脚部２７ｂ，２７ｂ、２８ｂ，２８ｂの軸孔２７ｆ，２７ｆ、２８ｆ，２８ｆに連通して挿入された軸２９を中心とした所要の角度範囲で回動できるようになっている。
【００３３】
３０は、前記係止金具１４に係止するための係止用アームであり、それは、可動部２７の両脚板２７ｂ，２７ｂに形成した軸孔２７ｅ，２７ｅに挿入された軸３１を嵌挿する嵌挿孔３０ａを基端部に形成するとともに、コイルスプリング３２の一端部を係止するТ字形のコイル係止部３０ｂを先端部に形成した横長のものである。
【００３４】
３３は、前記係止金具１４に係止するための係止用アームであり、それは、前記コイルスプリング３２の他端部に係止するТ字形のコイル係止部３３ａを基端部に形成するとともに、前記係止金具１４に係止する係止用バー３４を嵌挿する嵌挿孔３３ｂを先端部に形成した横長のものである。
【００３５】
前記盤取付け金具Ｂは、次のようにして組み立てることができる。
まず、コイルスプリング３２に、互いに重なり合わせた係止アーム３０，３３を挿入するとともに、そのコイルスプリング３２の両端部を、コイル係止部３０ｂ，３３ａに係止する。
そして、係止アーム３０の嵌挿孔３０ａを軸孔２７ｅ，２７ｅに挿入した軸３１に嵌挿するとともに、当該係止アーム３３，３３の嵌挿孔３３ｂ，３３ｂ間に係止用バー３４を横架する。
【００３６】
前述した盤取付け金具Ｂ，Ｂによって、遊技盤１を本体枠２に固定するには、まず、固定部２８に対して可動部２７を開いた状態にして、係止用バー３４を係止金具１４に係止する。
【００３７】
その係止後、可動部２７を閉じることにより、コイルスプリング３２，３２の弾性力によって遊技盤１を本体枠２に対して固定することができる。
また、取り外すときには、固定部２８に対して可動部２７を開いた状態にして、係止金具１４に係止していた係止用バー３４を外し、その後、可動部１４を閉じればよい。
【００３８】
３５は、遊技盤１を本体枠２から取り外したことを見つけ出すための取外し検出手段である。
この取外し検出手段３５は、可動部２７の遊挿用孔２７ｃ，２７ｃと固定部２８の遊挿孔２８ｃ，２８ｃに連通遊挿しておくことにより、遊技盤１の取り外しを検出するものであり、それは、円筒形の嵌合部３５ａと、これに嵌入する嵌入部３５ｂとを、細い連結線３５ｃで連結した合成樹脂製のものである。
嵌合部３５ａと嵌入部３５ｂとは、これらを一度嵌合させた後は、破損させる以外には外れない構造にしたものである。
【００３９】
連結線３５ｃは、可動部２７の開きを制限する長さ、換言すると、盤取付け金具Ｂによる遊技盤１の固定状態を解除できない長さになっており、また、その固定状態を解除するように可動部２７を開いたときに、人力によって切断できる強度にしたものである。
【００４０】
本実施形態では、嵌合部３５ａにタグ３５ｄが一体に形成されているが、そのタグ３５ｄに、この種のものとして一般に市販されているものと差別化を図れる識別情報３５ｅ等を一体に刻印成形しておくのが好適である。
【００４１】
識別情報としては、例えばユーザー側では理解できないようにした数字や記号の配列や、この取外し検出手段３５を取り付けるぱちんこ機Ａを特定できる番号等を挙げることができる。要するに、容易に偽造することができないようなものである。
【００４２】
これを、前記可動部２７の遊挿孔２７ｃ，２７ｃと固定部２８の遊挿孔、２８ｃ，２８ｃに連通遊挿しておくことにより、可動部２７を開くことにより連結線３５ｃが切れ、これにより、可動部２７を開いたことの痕跡、換言すると、遊技盤１を取り外したことを検知できる。
【００４３】
すなわち、遊技盤１の背面には、後述するように、本ばちんこ機Ａの主要部を制御する遊技用制御装置等が配設されているために、例えば正規の遊技盤１を不正に外した後、不法に高い確率の遊技状態になるようなＲＯＭ（Read Only Memory）を搭載した不正な遊技盤を固定し直すといった行為を防止し、また、その発見を容易に行える。
【００４４】
３６は、盤取付け金具Ｂ，Ｂの固定部２８を遊技盤１に固定するためのねじ部材であり、それは、図９，１０に示すすように、ねじ部３６ａと頭部３６ｂとの間に、円盤状の鍔部３６ｃを配設するとともに、その頭部３６ｂと鍔部３６ｃとの間を細径にすることにより、所定のトルク値以上でねじ締めを行ったときに、ねじ頭部がねじ切れて外れるようになっているものである。
【００４５】
このねじ部材３６を、可動部２７のねじ挿入用穴２７ｃと、固定部２８のねじ挿入用孔２８ｃとに連通させて遊技盤１に螺着することにより、可動部２７を封印することができ、盤取付け金具Ｂの取り外しを防止できる。
また、無理に遊技盤１を取り外すには、ねじ部材３６を折損させて可動部２７を開くか、遊技盤１や盤取付け金具Ｂを壊す以外にはないので、不正な行為があったことを容易に見つけ出すことができ、早期に事後の対策を立てることができる。
なお、このねじ部材３６は、前記取外し検出手段３５の代わりに、また、その取外し検出手段３５とともに使用することができる。
【００４６】
さて、前記のようにして本体枠２に固定される遊技盤１の遊技域１ａのほぼ中央部分には、図３に示すように、特別図柄等を変動表示させることができるＬＣＤ（Liquid Crystal Display）等からなるディスプレイ(以下、たんにディスプレイという)３７が配置されている。
【００４７】
ここで、特別図柄とは、遊技者にとって不利な遊技状態から遊技者にとって有利な遊技状態に移行する所謂大当たりを示唆するような図柄を指し、例えば３桁の数字等を挙げることができる。特に、それらの数字が「７７７」等の特定の図柄組み合わせになって表示停止したときに大当たりとなって、遊技者にとって不利な遊技状態から有利な遊技状態に移行するようになっている。
【００４８】
ディスプレイ３７の側方には、２つの風車３８，３８、２つのスルーチャッカ３９，３９、４つの風車４０…が左右対称に振り分けて配設されているとともに、当該ディスプレイ３７の下方には、電動チューリップ４１を近設した始動口４２及び大入賞口４３が互いに上下にして配設されている。
【００４９】
始動口４２は、前記発射装置Ｈから発射された遊技球が入賞することによって、前記大当たり等の判定を行うための抽選や、ディスプレイ３７の表示変動を開始させた後に停止させるためのものであり、さらに、本実施形態においては、所定数の遊技球を賞球として払い出すようになっている。
【００５０】
ディスプレイ３７の周囲には、これを囲繞するようにして形成された飾り部材４４が配設されており、その飾り部材４４の中央上部に４つの特別図柄記憶ＬＥＤ４５…が２つずつ振り分けられて配設されている。
【００５１】
特別図柄記憶ＬＥＤ４５…は、保留されている遊技球の個数、すなわち特別図柄作動記憶個数から１引いた変動記憶回数を表示するためのものである。
ここで、変動記憶回数は、特別図柄の変動及び変動内容を判定させる判定始動権利が保留されている作動記憶の数を示し、特別図柄作動記憶個数は、変動中ならば作動記憶回数に１加算した値（ＬＥＤを１つずつ点灯）を、また、客待ちのデモンストレーション実行中ならば０（ＬＥＤの全消灯）を示す。
【００５２】
また、それら特別図柄記憶ＬＥＤ４５…の中央下部には、４つの普通図柄記憶ＬＥＤ４６…が互いに所要の間隔で横一列にして配設されているとともに、これらの両側には、普通図柄左右ＬＥＤ４７，４８が配設されている。
【００５３】
普通図柄記憶ＬＥＤ４６…は、保留されている遊技球の個数、すなわち普通図柄作動記憶個数から１引いた変動記憶回数を表示するためのものである。
【００５４】
ここで、変動記憶回数は、普通図柄の作動及び変動内容を判定させる判定始動権利が保留されている作動記憶の数を示し、普通図柄作動記憶個数は、変動中ならば作動記憶回数に１加算した値（ＬＥＤを１つずつ点灯）を、また、客待ちのデモンストレーション実行中ならば０（ＬＥＤの全消灯）を示す。
【００５５】
なお、普通図柄とは、遊技者にとって不利な遊技状態から遊技者にとって有利な遊技状態に移行することを示唆できる図柄を指し、例えば電動チューリップ４２の可動片４２ａ，４２ａを作動させない遊技状態から、作動させる遊技状態に移行することである。
このような普通図柄としては、例えば「○」、「×」等の図柄を挙げることができ、「○」と表示されたときに、当該可動片４２ａ，４２ａを予め定められた所定時間内において、既定のパターンにより作動させるようにしている。
【００５６】
前記遊技域１ａには、前記飾り部材４４の他、ガイドレール２５，２６に沿って、センター飾り部材４９、袖部材５０，５０、サイド飾り部材５１，５１が適宜配設されている。
【００５７】
センター飾り部材４９は、入賞チャッカ４９ａ，４９ａとともに前記大入賞口４４が形成されているとともに、袖飾り部材５０，５０には、入賞チャッカ５０ａ，５０ａが形成されている。なお、１ｂはアウト口である。
【００５８】

【００６４】
すなわち、図柄制御装置５５は、上記ＣＰＵ５８から送信される制御信号に基づき、ビデオ・ディスプレイ・プロセッサ７３を介してディスプレイ３７を表示制御するとともに、普通図柄左右ＬＥＤ４７，４８を表示制御する。
【００６５】

前記においては、一定締め付けトルクで頭部のねじ切れるねじ部材であったが、図１２に示す、ねじ部材１００はドライバー溝１０１は右回り方向に対して壁状に立っており、左周り方向に対して坂になっているワンウェイねじになっており、ドライバーなどの工具で右回しはできるが左回しができないようになっている。このようにワンウェイねじで一度締めてしまえば、締結箇所を壊さなければ遊技盤を取り外せないので、遊技盤の交換が不正になされたことを明確に分かるようになる。
【００７１】
また、遊技盤１と本体枠２との固定箇所の例を図１３〜図１７に示す。遊技盤１から固定部分を延ばした状態を示している。図１３では遊技盤１と本体枠２とに孔１０２、１０３を空けてそれらに共通の連結線３５ｃを通したものである。この連結線が封印部材になり、壊さなければ取り外した履歴になる。
なお、封印部材は、前記連結線３５ｃの他、上記のようにねじ部材の頭部が取れる、シール封印、折り曲げると色が変わる、剥がすと文字が残るなど種々の物を用いることができる。
【００７２】
また、図１４では、前記遊技盤の孔１０２にねじ部材（通常のねじ部材でも、前記ねじ部材３６あるいは１００でもいずれもでよい図１４〜図１７で共通）１０４を通して枠本体２にねじ込み先端を露出させて前記連結線３５ｃでねじ部材の先端および尾端（皿部分が可能）を結ぶものである。
【００７３】
また、図１５では、前記遊技盤の孔１０２に前記ねじ部材１０４を通して、枠本体２にねじ込み前記連結線３５ｃでねじ部材の尾端と遊技盤１とを連結するものである。
【００７４】
また、図１６では、図１５と同じように前記遊技盤の孔１０２に前記ねじ部材１０４を通して、枠本体２にねじ込み前記連結線３５ｃでねじ部材の尾端と本体枠２とを連結するものである。
【００７５】
また、図１７のように、図１６と図１５とを合わせて前記遊技盤の孔１０２に前記ねじ部材１０４を通して、枠本体２にねじ込み前記連結線３５ｃでねじ部材の尾端と遊技盤１および本体枠２とを連結するものとしても良い。
【００７６】
また、図１８のように、樹脂製の先端矢形状で尾端がフランジ状あるいは矢羽状の固定手段１０５を用い、遊技盤１と本体枠２との孔１０２と１０３に共通の先端を押し込んで通し（あるいは通した後で矢形状やフランジ形状を形成し）、抜こうとしても抜けない状態にして壊さなければとれにないようにして固定してもよい。
【００７７】
図１９は各種の固定手段を遊技盤と本体枠との間に取り付けた状態を示している。図２０は、図１９の固定手段の一部の説明図であって、樹脂パイプ部１０６ａを複数平板に連結した樹脂一体成形であって遊技盤１の横溝に嵌着固定した固定ガイド部材１０６であって、樹脂パイプ部１０６ａにワンウェイねじなどのねじ部材１０４を装着してねじ部材１０４を本体枠２に締着する構造である。
【００７８】
また、図２１は、遊技盤に型孔１０７を空けて型孔１０７に対応した断面形状の板状レバー部材１０８（本体枠２に回転可能に取り付けられる）を通し、該レバー部材１０８を回転すると遊技盤１を本体枠２に締め付けて固定する。板状レバー部材１０８の回転を規制する部材（前記ねじ部材１０４）を螺着して、板状レバー部材１０８が戻らないようにできる。
【００７９】
また、図２２に示すように、レバー部材１０８と遊技盤１とをレバー部材１０８の孔と遊技盤１の固定環１０８ｄとを通して、連結線３５ｃで結んで回転を規制し、この連結線を切断しなければ遊技盤の本体枠からの取り外しができないようにすることができる。
【００８０】
また、図２３に示すように、レバー部材１０８の軸部１０８ａに固定用片部１０８ｂを設けたものであって、遊技盤１の型孔部１０７からこの固定用片部１０８ｂを通して回転させ遊技盤１表面にこの固定用片部１０８ｂをステープラー１０９でとめる。これによりステープラー１０９の取り外しで遊技盤を交換したことが分かる。
【００８１】
また、図２４に示すように、前記図１８に示したものと類似する樹脂材の固定部材１２０を孔１０７に通した後で溶かして固定片部１２０ａを成形し、この固定辺部１２０ａをステープラー１０９で遊技盤１を止めることができる。
【００８２】
なお、前記実施形態では、遊技盤１を本体枠から外した履歴を示す情報として、連結線３５ｃやシート部材を例示したが、本発明ではその他、盤取り付け金具Ｂ、Ｂの可動部２７の固定部２８に対する開きを規制するため、前記連結線３５ｃに代えてあるいは共に、切れやすい信号線を通しておき、前記可動部２７の開きによるこの信号線の断線で警報信号を出力する、遊技機側で報知する、あるいは、ホールコンピュータに出力するなどして種々の方法による報知により、不正な遊戯盤交換に対する対策を取ることができる。また、前記信号線による報知手段の電源としてホールからの電源ではなく、電池を遊技機に搭載することにより、ホール側で電源を落としたときでも盤交換を報知することができる。また電池は遊技機を扉を開けてだけでは分かりにくいところに搭載することが電池外しを効果的に防止できる。なお、電源を遊技機の基板から持ってきても良い。
【００８３】
履歴を残す手段としては、図９に示すように、遊技盤１と本体枠２とに間に貼られ、折り曲げるとシート自体に跡の残るシート部材１２１であり、例えば（商品名、日本製紙株式会社）ＣＣＰを採用することができる。
【００８４】
また、履歴を残す手段としては、遊技盤１と本体枠２とに間に貼られ、折り曲げるとシート自体に跡の残るシート部材を採用することもできる。
このようなシート部材としては、表面基材としてポリエステル系フィルムにアルミ蒸着をしたもの（ТＥツヤ５０カイフウ）、アクリル系粘着剤（ＰＡТ１）、片面ポリラミグラシン紙に剥離処理をした剥離材（８ＬＫ）の三層構造のものであり、例えば（商品名、リンテック株式会社）ТＥツヤ５０カイフウＰＡТ１８ＬＫを挙げることができる。
【００８５】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、所定の手段以外で外せないので、メーカー、ホールなどの意図しない遊技盤の取替えが生じることがない。従って、不正な遊技盤交換を防止できる。また、本体枠からの遊技盤の取り外しの履歴が分かるようにして不正な遊技盤の取替えが分かるようにできる。
