  Thus, according to the said structure, the attachment board different from the game board in which the game area | region was formed is provided, and the support part which can attach and support a board | substrate storage case to the said attachment board is provided. In addition, a support part may be formed on the game board, and a board storage case may be attached to the support part of the game board. In this case, for example, when changing the game board by changing the model, the next game It may take time and effort to attach a support portion adjusted to the dimensions of the substrate storage case to the board. However, according to the above-described configuration in the present embodiment, when changing the game board by changing the model, etc., the mounting plate formed with the support portion in a state matched to the dimensions of the board storage case is removed from the game board and left as it is. Since it suffices to attach to the next game board, the trouble of adjusting the support portion is reduced, and the attaching / detaching work becomes easy. Further, since the mounting plate can be reused, resources can be saved. The substrate storage case in this embodiment in this embodiment corresponds to the main control substrate storage case 70, and the support portion corresponds to the first substrate storage case support portions 41, 41 and the first substrate storage case locking claw 49. . That is, the dimension between the first board storage case support portions 41 and 41 formed on the mounting plate and the dimension between the board storage case support sections 41 and 41 and the first board storage case locking claw 49 are the main control board storage. Since it is matched to the case 70, when changing the game board, the dimension between the first substrate storage case support portions 41, 41 and between the substrate storage case support portions 41, 41 and the first substrate storage case locking claw 49 are changed. It is not necessary to adjust the dimensions, and the attachment plate can be removed from the game board and attached to the next game board. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the risk of troublesome attachment / detachment work.

With this configuration, when the case main body 71 is slid with respect to the shielding plate 73, the protrusion 716 smoothly moves (guides) along the inclined portion of the spring piece 739. It is difficult for stress to be applied to the spring piece 739, and the risk of breakage or the like can be reduced. Further, since the spring piece 739 has an inclination, the protrusion 716 presses the spring piece 739, and it is possible to enhance the prevention of rattling between the case main body 71 and the shielding plate 73 and noise generated from the substrate. Or the like can be reliably passed through the shielding plate 73.

  Further, on the right side surface of the case body 71, as will be described later, the main control board storage case 70 is rotated so as to increase the angle from the attached storage state to the rear side of the gaming machine, or the main control. A slide restricting elastic engagement piece 717 is formed to prevent and enable the slide when the case main body 71 and the shielding plate 73 are separable when the substrate storage case 70 is removed from the gaming machine. Yes. The slide restricting elastic engagement piece 717 has a downward engaging claw 718 at the tip, and as shown in FIG. 20, the slide restricting engagement is formed on the right side wall 74a of the shielding plate 73 described later. The case 74 can be engaged with the periphery of the opening 741 when the case main body 71 and the shielding plate 73 are coupled, and the engagement can be released by elastically deforming the slide restricting elastic engagement piece 717. .

  As shown in FIGS. 16 to 19, the shielding plate 73 is large enough to cover the back surface 71 a of the case body 71 (note that the area of the bottom surface of the shielding plate 73 is larger than the area of the back surface 71 a of the case body 71. The shielding plate side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 731 is formed as a shielding plate coupling means on the shielding plate side at a position corresponding to the case main body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 711. Has been. The shielding plate-side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 731 is configured by an engaging claw that can be inserted and engaged with the holding space 711S of the case body-side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 711, and the case body-side shielding plate coupling. An L-shaped engaging portion disposing opening 731a is formed along the periphery of the engaging portion 711 so that the case main body side shielding plate coupling engaging portion 711 can be inserted and disposed. As shown in FIG. 18, the case main body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 711 is inserted into the front end side opening portion 731b of the case main body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion in the engagement portion arrangement opening portion 731a. By sliding the case body 71 in the right direction (or the shielding plate 73 in the left direction), the shielding plate side shielding plate coupling engagement portion is inserted into the holding space 711S of the case body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 711. As shown in FIG. 19, the case main body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 711 and the shielding plate side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 731 can be engaged with each other. 73 can be combined. Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the case main body 71 and the shielding plate 73 are separated from the case main body 71 and the shielding plate 73, as shown in FIG. 717 and the sliding restricting engagement opening 741 of the shielding plate 73 are disengaged, and the case main body is slid leftward (or the shielding plate 73 rightward), so that the shielding plate side shielding plate is coupled. The engagement portion 731 is moved from the holding space 711S of the case body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 711 to the distal end side opening portion 731b of the case body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion, and the case body side shielding plate coupling is performed. The engagement between the engaging portion 711 and the shielding plate side shielding plate coupling engaging portion 731 can be released.

  Further, the case body side shielding plate coupling / releasing regulation engaging member is located on the shielding plate 73 at a position corresponding to the case body side shielding plate coupling / releasing regulation engaging portion 713 formed of the linear rib (projection). An opening 736 through which the joint portion 713 is exposed is formed. As shown in FIG. 18, the opening 736 has a state in which the case main body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 711 is positioned at the front end side opening portion 731b of the case main body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion. As described above, between the case main body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 711 and the shielding plate side shielding plate coupling release restriction engaging portion 731 engaged, the case main body side shielding plate coupling release restriction engagement It consists of a square of a size that exposes the portion 713.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 to 10, the opening 736 of the shielding plate 73 has a board housing case attachment position side shielding board coupling release restriction member formed on the back surface 60a of the sound / lamp control board housing case 60, as shown in FIGS. The joint portion 64 is inserted as shown in FIG. 21 when the main control board storage case 70 is mounted and stored, so that the case body side shielding plate coupling release restricting engagement portion 713 and the board storage case mounting position side are inserted. The engaging part 64 for restricting the shielding plate coupling is engaged. Thus, in the attached and retracted state, the case in a direction (left direction in FIG. 19) in which the case main body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 711 and the shielding plate side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 731 are disengaged. The main body 71 is prevented from sliding, and the case main body 71 and the shielding plate 73 are prevented from being separated. FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view taken at position FF of the case main body side shielding plate coupling release restricting engagement portion 713 in FIGS. 5 and 6, which shows the attachment and storage state of the substrate storage case 70. Further, when the substrate storage case 70 is rotated in the direction of increasing the angle from the attached storage state, for example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, it is formed on the back surface 60a of the sound / lamp control substrate storage case 60. The board storage case attachment position side shielding plate coupling release restriction engaging portion 713 is separated from the case body side shielding plate coupling release restriction engaging portion 713, and the case body side shielding plate coupling release restriction engaging portion 713. And the board storage case attachment position side shielding plate coupling release restricting engagement portion 64 are released, and the case body side shielding plate coupling engagement portion 711 and the shielding plate side shielding plate coupling engagement portion. The case body 71 can be slid in the direction in which the engagement of 731 is released (the left direction in FIG. 19). Reference numeral 738 in FIG. 16 denotes a positioning piece for positioning the case body position by contacting the right side wall of the case body 70 when the case body 70 is mounted at the correct position of the shielding plate 73. When the housing is in the mounted / retracted state, one engagement portion 711a of the four case body side shielding plate coupling engagement portions 711 is fitted into the recess 800 formed in the sound / lamp control board storage case 60. Thus, the sliding of the case main body 71 and the shielding plate 73 is more reliably prevented, and the separation is more reliably prevented. Further, when the main control board storage case 70 is rotated in the direction in which the angle is increased from the attached storage state, the engagement between the concave portion 800 and the engagement portion 711a is released.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 16 to 19 and 22, at least the upper part of the side part in the horizontal direction (the upper part in the attached storage state of the main control board storage case 70) of the shielding plate 73 stands on the rear side of the gaming machine. Side walls 74 and 74 are formed, and engaging portions 75 and 75 are formed on the outer surfaces of the side walls 74 and 74 at the top of the shielding plate 73, respectively. The engaging portion 75 includes a horizontal shaft portion 76 parallel to the shielding plate 73. The shaft portion 76 is provided with an insertion portion 77 inserted into the bearing hole 45 and a non-insertion portion 80 not inserted into the bearing hole 45 adjacent to each other in the length direction of the shaft portion 76. In the present embodiment, the shaft portion 76 is configured such that the base portion side of the shaft portion 76 fixed to the side walls 74 of the shielding plate 73 is the insertion portion 77, and the tip end side of the shaft portion 76 is the non-insertion portion 80. The screw B is inserted from the non-insertion portion 80 to the insertion portion 77 and is fixed to the outer surface of the side wall 74. Reference numeral 78 denotes a screw insertion hole formed in the shaft portion 76, which is formed to penetrate from the insertion portion 77 to the outer surface of the non-insertion portion 80. It should be noted that when the main control board storage case 70 is mounted and stored (substantially parallel to the mounting plate 30) at the lower end of the shielding plate 73, the first board storage case of the mounting plate 30 is locked. A locking portion 73 a that engages with the claw 49 is formed. With the first board storage case locking claw 49 and the locking portion 73a, the main control board storage case 70 can be fixed to the mounting plate 30 when the main control board storage case 70 is in the mounting storage state. It is.

  In the insertion portion 77, the thickness dimension in the diametrical direction is such that the dimension n1 in one direction T1 is smaller than the dimension n2 in the other direction T2 of the two orthogonal directions T1 and T2. In the illustrated example, the insertion portion 77 is configured such that the outer peripheral side surface in the one-diameter direction of the columnar body having a circular cross section is a plane 79, the direction orthogonal to the plane 79 is T1, and the thickness dimension in the same direction T1 is the same. n1, the direction parallel to the plane 79 was defined as T2, and the thickness dimension in the same direction T2 was defined as n2.

  The thickness dimension in the diameter direction of the insertion part 77 in the shaft part 76 and the dimension of the removal part 46 including the bearing hole 45 and the shaft part attaching / detaching opening in the first substrate storage case support part 41 of the mounting plate 30. A general relationship will be described below with reference to FIGS. 13, 14, and 22 to 25. Regarding the insertion portion 77 and the bearing hole 45 in the shaft portion 76, the thickness n of the insertion portion 77 is a dimension n2 in the large direction T2 so that the insertion portion 77 is held in the bearing hole 45 and can be rotated. Is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter d1 of the bearing hole 45. Regarding the relationship between the insertion portion 77 in the shaft portion 76 and the removal portion 46 formed of the shaft portion attachment / detachment opening, the insertion portion 77 is connected to the removal portion 46 formed of the shaft portion attachment / detachment opening in the T1 direction. Of the opening for attaching and detaching the shaft portion constituting the detachable portion 46 so that it can pass through the portions 77a and 77a having a small thickness dimension and cannot pass through the portions 77b and 77b having a large thickness dimension in the T2 direction. The opening dimension e1 and the thickness dimension n1 in the T1 direction and the thickness dimension n2 in the T2 direction of the insertion portion 77 are n1 ≦ e1 <n2. The relationship between e1 and d1 is e1 <d1. Note that a direction T2 having a large thickness dimension in the insertion portion 77 of the removal portion 46 and the shaft portion 76 is parallel to the substrate storage case 70 (parallel to the vertical width direction of the substrate storage case 70), and the thickness. The small dimension direction T1 is perpendicular to the substrate storage case 70 (the small thickness dimension direction T1 is the thickness direction of the substrate storage case 70). The above configuration corresponds to the disengagement unit and the disconnection prevention unit. That is, it is impossible to remove the main control board storage case 70 from the mounting plate 30 when the main control board storage case 70 is in the mounted storage state and the detachment state (in the present embodiment, at the setting release angle of 135 degrees). In this embodiment, the main control board storage case 70 can be attached to and detached from the mounting plate 30 in the attached / detached state (in the present embodiment, at the 135 ° setting release angle state).

  In the present embodiment, the non-insertion portion 80 in the shaft portion 76 has a substantially disk shape provided at the outer end portion of the shaft portion 76, and has shaft portion side engaging claws 81, 81 on the outer periphery and temporary holding claws. 85 and 85 are formed at predetermined intervals.

  As shown in FIGS. 7, 8, and 27-A in FIG. 27, the shaft-side engagement claw 81 is configured to fix the main control board storage case 70 at a fixed holding position at a set holding angle m2. The main control board storage case 70 can be held in a horizontal state of 90 degrees with respect to the vertical mounting plate 30, and as shown in FIG. When rotating in the direction of decreasing angle from an angle position larger than (90 degrees in this embodiment) to a smaller angle position, when the set holding angle (90 degrees in this embodiment) is reached, the mounting plate 30, the main control board storage case 70 is further rotated downward by engaging with a bearing part side engaging claw 51 of the elastic piece 50 provided in the first board storage case support part 41. Hold and fix. Further, the main control board storage case 70 is rotated in the reverse direction, that is, the main control board storage case 70 is rotated in an angle increasing direction from an angle position smaller than the set holding angle (90 ° in this embodiment) to a larger angle position. When this is done, the shaft-side engagement claw 81 does not engage with the bearing-side engagement claw 51 of the elastic piece 50 at the set holding angle (90 ° in this embodiment), and the main control is performed. The substrate storage case 70 can be further rotated in the direction of increasing the angle. The rotation restricting means is constituted as follows by the shaft portion side engaging claws 81, the elastic pieces 50, and the bearing portion side engaging claws 51. Here, the angle increasing direction is a direction in which the main control board storage case 70 is opened from the mounting and storing state to the detaching state (in this embodiment, the setting release angle state of 135 degrees), and the angle decreasing direction is the angle increasing. The direction opposite to the direction, that is, the direction in which the main control board storage case 70 is closed from the attached / detached state (in the present embodiment, the setting release angle state of 135 degrees) to the attached / stored state.

  In order to enable rotation of the main control board case 70 and holding and fixing at the set holding angle m2 (90 ° in this embodiment), the shaft portion side engaging claws 81 and the bearing portion side engaging claws 51 are arranged. Is structured as follows.

  The shaft-side engagement claw 81 and the bearing-side engagement claw 51 are configured so that the main control board storage case 70 rotates from a smaller angle than the set holding angle m2 to a larger angle. When the rotation angle exceeds, the collision surfaces 82 and 52 when the rotation angle increases and the main control board storage case 70 rotate from an angle larger than the set holding angle m2 to a smaller angle, and the set holding angle m2. The collision surfaces 83 and 53 at the time of reduction of the rotation angle that collide with each other at the time of reaching.

  The collision surfaces 82 and 52 when the rotation angle is increased correspond to the shaft-side engagement claws 81 when the main control board storage case 70 rotates in the angle increase direction and collides at the set holding angle m2. However, the main control board storage case 70 is configured to have a gentle inclination (including a loose arc) that can easily get over the bearing portion side engaging pawl 51 and further rotate. Note that the degree of the gentle inclination is determined by the elastic deformation of the elastic piece 50 when the main control board storage case 70 rotates in the angle increasing direction and exceeds the set holding angle m2. The inclination angle (including the arc state) is determined in a range of 60 ° or less, for example, within a range in which the joint claw 81 can easily get over the bearing portion side engagement claw 51. Due to the above-described gentle inclination and the characteristics of the material of the elastic piece 50 (for example, use of bending), the main control board storage case 70 can be smoothly rotated to the set holding angle in the direction of increasing the angle without applying a relatively large force. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the elastic piece 50 or the like is damaged when a large force is applied to the elastic piece 50 or the like.

  On the other hand, the collision surfaces 83 and 53 when the rotation angle is reduced reach the set holding angle m2 when the main control board storage case 70 is rotated from an angle larger than the set holding angle m2 to a small angle. When the shaft side rotation angle decreases, the collision surface 83 engages with the bearing portion side rotation angle decreases collision surface 53, and the shaft side engagement claw 81 engages with the bearing portion side engagement. It is configured with a steep slope (including an arc) so that it is difficult to get over the claw 51. Specifically, the collision surfaces 83 and 53 when the rotation angle decreases are free to rotate downward (angle decreasing direction) from the set holding angle m2 (90 degrees in this embodiment) by the weight of the control board storage case 70. By applying a downward turning force to the main control board storage case 70 which is steep enough to prevent movement and is held and fixed at the set holding angle m2, When the main control board storage case 70 is applied with a rotational force that is larger than the rotational force due to its own weight, the shaft-side engagement claw 81 is caused to elastically deform by the elastic piece 50 and the shaft-side engagement claw 51 Is determined within a range of about 70 to 90 degrees, for example. The rigidity of the elastic piece 50 is determined when the main control board storage case 70 is held and fixed at the set holding angle or when the main control board storage case 70 is rotated in the direction of increasing the rotation angle. Rigidity that allows rotation beyond the set holding angle.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the temporary holding claw 85 that temporarily holds the main control board storage case 70 in the mounting and storage state parallel to the mounting plate 30 is the shaft-side engaging claw of the non-insertion portion 80 in the shaft portion 76. 81 and 81 are formed. The temporary holding claw 85 holds the main control board storage case 70 by colliding with the bearing part side engagement claw 51 of the elastic piece 50 when the main control board storage case 70 is in the parallel mounting and storage state. By applying a force for rotating the main control board storage case 70 in the direction of increasing the angle, the main control board storage case 70 can be rotated by getting over the bearing portion side engaging claws 51 of the elastic piece 50. . Note that the temporary holding claw 85 is configured to have a gentle inclination and the characteristics of the material of the elastic piece 50 (for example, use of bending or the like), the angle increasing direction or the angle can be smoothly increased without applying a relatively large force. The main control board storage case 70 can be rotated to the parallel mounting and storage state or the set holding angle in the decreasing direction, and the possibility of breakage due to a large force applied to the elastic piece 50 or the like can be reduced. Is possible. The temporary holding claw 85, the first substrate storage case locking claw 49, and the locking portion 73a allow the main control board storage case 70 to be securely fixed to the mounting plate 30 for mounting and storage. Become. In this embodiment, in order to temporarily hold the main control board storage case 70 in the mounting and storage state parallel to the shaft portion side engaging claws 81 for fixing the main control board storage case 70 at the set holding angle m2. In addition to the configuration in which the temporary holding claw 85 is provided, by providing an intermediate holding claw between the shaft side engaging claw 81 and the temporary holding claw 85 and causing the intermediate holding claw and the bearing portion side engaging claw 51 to collide, The main control board storage case 70 may be temporarily fixed at a position at an arbitrary angle (for example, 30 degrees) between the parallel mounting and storing state and the set holding angle m2.

  The main control board storage case 70 is attached to the main control board as shown in 26-A and 26-B of FIG. 26 after the sound / lamp control board storage case 60 is first attached to the mounting plate 30. The storage case 70 is set to the engagement release position at a setting release angle m1 (135 degrees in the present embodiment) with respect to the mounting plate 30, and is inserted into the bearing hole 45 from the removal portion 46 of the bearing portion 44 of the mounting plate 30. The insertion portion 77 in the shaft portion 76 of the main control board storage case 70 is inserted (23-A in FIG. 23). At this time, the main control board storage case 70 is in contact with the setting release angle state maintaining portions 29b and 29c of the display control board storage case 29 positioned above and the surface of the case body 71, so that the insertion direction is easily determined. Thus, the insertion can be performed easily. In addition, the surface of the setting release angle state maintaining portions 29b and 29c that comes into contact with the main control board storage case 70, that is, the contact surface S with the case main body 71 in the drawing, is the insertion direction of the main control board storage case 70 If it is formed substantially parallel to the same as the pulling direction described later), the insertion (removal described later) can be performed smoothly because it is easily guided in the insertion direction.

  Next, the main control board storage case 70 after the insertion is rotated downward (23-B in FIG. 23). When the rotation reaches the position of the set holding angle m2 (90 degrees in this embodiment) shown in 27-A of FIG. 27, as shown in 24-A of FIG. The main control board storage case 70 is held and fixed by engaging the shaft side engaging claws 81 and is maintained in the set holding and fixed state. Subsequently, when the front end side of the main control board storage case 70 in the setting holding and fixing state is pushed downward to rotate the main control board storage case 70 downward (24-B in FIG. 24), 27 in FIG. As shown in -B, the temporary holding claw 85 gets over the shaft receiving portion side engaging claw 51 and is temporarily held, so that the main control board storage case 70 is mounted in the mounting storage position parallel to the mounting plate 30. Thus, it is in an attached and housed state (FIG. 25). In the attached and stored position, the locking portion 73a of the main control board storage case 70 is engaged with the first board storage case locking claw 49, and the main control board storage case 70 is fixed. Accordingly, the main control board storage case (first board storage case) 70 is disposed so as to overlap the sound / lamp control board storage case (second board storage case).

  On the other hand, when the main control board storage case 70 is removed, the first board storage case locking claw 49 and the main control board storage case 70 in the mounting and storage state shown in FIG. The engagement of the locking portion 73a is released, and the main control board storage case 70 is rotated upward from the attachment storage position. Then, it rotates beyond the set holding angle m2 (90 degrees in this embodiment) to the disengagement position of the setting release angle m1 (135 degrees in this embodiment) shown in 26-B of FIG. 23-A) and the main control board storage case 70, the setting release angle state maintaining portions 29b, 29c of the display control board storage case 29 located above and the surface of the case body 71 are in contact with each other, and more The rotation in the direction of increasing the angle is prevented and the set release angle m1 is correctly maintained. As a result, the removal portion 46 of the bearing portion 44 and the insertion portion 77 of the shaft portion 76 of the main control board storage case 70 are brought into agreement. In this state, the main control board storage case 70 is pulled away from the mounting plate 30 as shown in 26-A of FIG. 26, and the main control board storage case 70 is received from the bearing hole 45 of the bearing portion 44. The insertion portion 77 of the shaft portion 76 is extracted, and the main control board storage case 70 is removed. At that time, since the surface of the case main body 71 is in contact with the setting release angle state maintaining portions 29b and 29c, the main control board storage case 70 is easy to determine the removal direction (removal direction), and can be easily removed. Can be done. Further, the surface of the setting release angle state maintaining portions 29b and 29c that comes into contact with the main control board storage case 70, in the drawing, the contact surface S with the case main body 71 is defined as the direction in which the main control board storage case 70 is pulled out. If formed substantially in parallel, the main control board storage case 70 can be removed smoothly because it is easily guided in the pulling direction.

  Further, when the sound / lamp control board storage case 60 is inspected, the main control board storage case 70 is moved from the mounted storage state to the set holding angle m2 (see FIG. 27-A). In this embodiment, the main control board storage case 70 is held and fixed at the set holding angle m2. As a result, the sound / lamp control board storage case 60 is exposed, and the sound / lamp control board storage case 60 can be inspected in this state. It should be noted that the main control board 70 is held and fixed at the set holding angle m2, or is rotated in a direction larger than the set holding angle m2, or the main control board 70 is removed from the mounting plate 30. In this state, as shown in FIG. 10, if the sound / lamp control board storage case 60 is rotated, the back side of the game board 2 is exposed from the openings 31 and 32 of the mounting plate 30, and the game Equipment on the back side of the board can be inspected.

  In this way, the board storage case (main control board storage case 70 in this embodiment) is disposed at a predetermined mounting and storage position (in the present embodiment, in a parallel mounting and storage state), and the mounting storage is performed. In the fixed holding position rotated from the position in the direction of increasing angle (in this embodiment, the direction of opening from the parallel mounting / accommodating state to the attaching / detaching state) and rotated to the set holding angle (m2 in this embodiment, specifically 90 degrees). The substrate storage case can be fixedly held, and is further rotated from the fixed holding position to the angle increasing direction and rotated to the set release angle (m1 in this embodiment, specifically 135 degrees). Since the setting release angle state maintaining unit and the substrate storage case are in contact with each other and the board storage case is prevented from further rotating in the direction of increasing the angle, the substrate storage case is maintained at the setting release angle position. K It is possible to easily detachable.

  In this embodiment, the setting release angle state maintaining unit is removed from the gaming machine (in this embodiment, the setting release angle state maintaining unit is removed from the game board together with the display control board storage case) as shown in FIG. As described above, the board storage case (main control board storage case 70 in this embodiment) can be rotated further in the direction of increasing the angle than the setting release angle. However, when the rotation angle of the substrate storage case (main control substrate storage case 70 in this embodiment) is larger than the setting release angle, the shaft portion matches the missing portion as in the range smaller than the setting release angle. Disappear. Therefore, in the gaming machine, when the board storage case is at an angle different from the setting release angle of the engagement release position (specifically, other than 135 degrees), the board storage case is prevented from coming off by the removal preventing means. . With this configuration, for example, when the inspection is performed without removing the board storage case with the setting release angle state maintaining unit removed from the gaming machine, the board storage case is further set than the setting release angle at the disengagement position. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the substrate storage case is unexpectedly detached at the position where the rotation is performed. Therefore, if the substrate storage case is unexpectedly removed, the working efficiency is deteriorated, but such a fear can be reduced. Further, by removing the setting release angle state maintaining unit from the gaming machine, it becomes difficult to recognize the setting release angle position of the substrate storage case, so those who have not accurately recognized the setting release angle position of the substrate storage case, It takes time to attach and detach the substrate storage case. Therefore, for example, a person who illicitly attaches and detaches the substrate storage case takes time for an act of fraud and can improve fraud prevention.

  In addition, the main control board storage case 70 may be prevented from rotating to the setting release angle position unless the case body 71 is removed from the shielding plate 73. That is, as shown in 29-A of FIG. 29, when the main control board storage case 70 is rotated in the angle increasing direction from the mounting storage position in a state where the case main body 71 is attached to the shielding plate 73, Before reaching the setting release angle (135 degrees in the present embodiment), the setting release angle state maintaining portions 29b and 29c of the display control board storage case 29 located above the main control board storage case 70 and the case body 71 may collide with the portion J, and the main control board storage case 70 may not be rotated to the setting release angle position. In this case, the main control board storage case 70 is rotated from the mounting and storage state shown by 30-A in FIG. 30 upward to increase the angle, and as shown in 30-B in FIG. The set holding angle at which the case main body 71 does not collide with the state maintaining portions 29b and 29c (90 degrees horizontal in the present embodiment) is set, and then the case main body 71 is moved in the separation direction (in the present embodiment in this embodiment). The case main body 71 is separated from the shielding plate 73 as shown by 30-C in FIG. Thereafter, as shown in 29-B of FIG. 29, when the shielding plate 73 is further rotated upward to increase the angle, the display control board storage case is set at the set release angle (135 degrees in this embodiment). The shielding release plate 73 is brought into contact with the 29 setting release angle state maintaining portions 29b and 29c and is maintained at the setting release angle. In this state, the shielding plate 73 is removed as shown by 29-C in FIG. From the above, it is possible to remove only the case main body when, for example, it is desired to perform inspection or the like only with respect to the case main body with the shielding plate attached to the board storage case mounting position. Even when the substrate storage case is rotated with the case body attached, the case storage body does not rotate to the setting release angle and the substrate storage case is removed because the case body hits the setting release angle state maintaining unit. It becomes difficult. Therefore, for example, a person who illicitly attaches and detaches the substrate storage case takes time for the act of fraud and can improve fraud prevention. In this embodiment, the case main body 71 is separated from the shielding plate 73 at the set holding angle. However, the present invention is not limited to this. If so, the case body 71 may be separated from the shielding plate 73 at any angle.

  With this configuration, when the substrate storage case is rotated to the setting release angle, the substrate storage case comes into contact with the setting release state maintaining unit and the substrate storage case is further rotated.
