That is, the end exterior box according to the present invention includes a rear frame that is fixed to a row end surface side of the gaming machine row by fixing means such as bolting or welding, and left and right side wall portions that surround the side face leaving a front opening as a space. It is characterized by having. Basically, it is better not to have the box bottom, but it may be provided.
[0006]
The present invention is characterized in that at least one of the left and right side wall portions (the right side wall portion and the left side wall portion) is a side opening door that can be opened outward. Alternatively, a configuration in which at least one of the side wall portions includes a side opening door that can be opened outward and a flange member thereof can be employed. Of course, it is desirable that both the left and right side walls are open doors.
[0007]
The side opening door preferably has a hinge shaft (door pivot shaft) on the back frame side. Moreover, as a side opening door, the structure which has a door lock mechanism interlock | cooperated with the door handle provided in the inside is employable. Furthermore, it is desirable to include opening interlocking means for opening the side opening door located on the hinge shaft side in conjunction with the opening operation of the front outside opening door of the accommodated end device. An example of the end device is a money collection type money changer.
[0008]
Preferably, the rear frame has a positioning guide portion that engages with a guide portion on the rear surface of the end device.
[0009]
In particular, in order to enhance the function of the end exterior box as a decoration device, the box side wall portion may include an electrical decoration device or a panel display device, but a signboard for displaying information related to the gaming machine row. It is desirable to have a mounting device. As this signboard attachment device, a signboard window frame portion into which a translucent signboard is fitted, a hinged shaft on the back frame side, and an open door with an illuminator that illuminates the translucent signboard in the signboard window frame portion on the back surface; It is possible to adopt a double door structure comprising

The door can be opened outward. Moreover, since this door handle is provided inside the side opening door, the outer side surface of the opening door has a clean design shape, and the degree of freedom of design increases.
[0020]
In the configuration in which the end exterior box includes the opening interlocking means, when the door is opened by operating the front opening door of the end device such as the accommodated change machine, Since the side opening door located on the hinge shaft side of the front outside door automatically opens, the door thickness allowance on the hinge shaft side of the front outside door of the end device stops against the side opening door of the end exterior box. The doors are not interfered with each other, and the front outside doors of the end devices can be smoothly opened. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure a wide opening for the end exterior box by the door thickness allowance, and an empty space corresponding to the door thickness allowance can be eliminated when viewed from the front. And the end device can be accommodated, and the appearance is improved.
[0021]
Furthermore, when the rear frame of the end exterior box has a positioning guide portion that engages with the guide portion on the rear surface of the end device, the space between the front of the end exterior box in the end device housing installation work In addition, the front of the end device can be successfully aligned without shifting from side to side, and the end device can be accommodated and installed easily.
[0022]
In addition, in a configuration having a signboard attachment device on the side wall portion, for example, when a translucent signboard displaying a model name or nickname of a gaming machine in a row of gaming machines is attached to the signboard attachment device, the player Since the model of the row can be visually confirmed, the convenience of selecting the gaming machine can be improved. Here, the signboard mounting device includes a signboard window frame portion into which the translucent signboard is fitted, and a hinged shaft on the back frame side, and an open door with an illuminator that back-illuminates the translucent signboard in the signboard window frame portion. In the structure which has, the exchange of a signboard is easy, and since it is an illumination signboard, decorativeness improves. In particular, in the double door structure in which the opening door with the illuminator is provided in the outer opening side door, even if the end device is already accommodated in the end exterior box, the model change (renovation) of the gaming machine row, etc. In this case, the signboard can be easily exchanged by opening the side door with the open door and then opening the door with the illuminator.
[0023]
Furthermore, in the configuration in which the top portion includes the light-transmitting hood and the light emitting means, there is a canopy-shaped hood portion at the end of the gaming machine row, which greatly contributes to the improvement in appearance appearance. In addition to the above, in addition to the situation display by flashing of the light emitting means, etc., an electrical decoration effect is produced, and it becomes a suitable form as an end decoration device.
[0024]
Depending on the gaming machine row, an end device may not be installed at the end of the row, and as with the row ends of other gaming machine rows, an end exterior box is provided for the appearance uniformity of the row end. Forced to install. In such a case, the inside of the end exterior box that has not been accommodated becomes completely visible from the front space, and the appearance is very bad. Therefore, the inside of the end exterior box can be completely covered by standing the front hidden door in the space and closing the frontage. The front hidden door not only makes the empty state in the end exterior box invisible from the outside, but also can be used as a storage for the equipment in the hall.
