Thus, the setting switching button CS is attached to the main board 700.
Further, connector pins CS4 protrude downward from the inside of the base frame CS1, and the connector pins CS4 are in contact with the printed circuit board on the main substrate 700 and are energized. In this way, the setting switching button CS is directly attached to the main board 700.
[0039]
The above-described setting switch BO prepares to change the probability mode setting by inserting a key into a key hole provided on the power supply device substrate 500 and rotating it in a predetermined direction before turning on the main power. belongs to. In addition, the above-described setting switching button CS sequentially sets different probability modes step by step each time it is pressed in the above-described preparation state by the setting switch BO. This setting is confirmed by operating the start lever ST, for example.
[0040]
The storage case 900 is made of hard plastic, and is rotatably supported with respect to the case base 901 via a case base 901 and a hinge portion 907 at the upper end of the case base 901 in the drawing as shown in FIG. The case cover 902 has a size slightly larger than the main substrate 700 to be included. In the storage case 900, the case cover 902 is turned to the case base 901 side and locked by the fixing protrusion 908, and the main substrate 700 inside is closed, and the case cover 902 and the case base are closed by a one-way screw (not shown). 901 and 901 are fixed to each other and sealed in this state.
[0041]
6 and 7, the storage case 900 has openings 909, 905, and 906 at positions corresponding to the connectors 704, 706, and 705 on the main board 700 to be included, and the main board. An opening 910 is provided at a position corresponding to the setting switching button CS on 700. The opening 910 is formed to a size that can expose the button head of the setting switching button CS to a minimum.
[0042]
  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the case base 901 has a large number of ribs 912 that support the main board 700.700A setting switching button CS mounted on the main board 700 is arranged at the lower left part (that is, the corner Co) in FIG. 8 where the ribs 912 intersect with each other.
  FIG. 9 shows a state taken along line VIII-VIII in FIG. 8, and it can be understood from FIG. 9 that the setting switching button CS is arranged. Reference numerals 913 in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are screwing bosses installed at the corner Co, and the corners of the main board 700 are fixed to the bosses 913 via screws (screws). .
  In FIG. 9, the connection terminal CS4 protruding from the setting switching button CS is attached to the main board 700.PleaseIt shows the state. As shown in the figure, the connection terminal CS4 ismainIt is inserted into a mounting hole formed in the substrate 700 and fixed by solder 54.
[0043]
According to the present embodiment, the setting switching button CS is directly installed on the main board 700 disposed on the back side of the casing 102 of the slot machine 100 (that is, the main board on which the button CS is directly installed. 700 is arranged on the back side of the casing 102), so that even if a fraudulent person operates the setting switch button CS in a state where the front door 101 is slightly opened so that it is not detected by an attendant or the like of the game hall. Even when trying to do so, it becomes extremely difficult to operate the button CS on the main board 700 on the back side of the housing 102.
[0044]
Further, since the setting switching button CS is directly attached to the main board 700, a cable (not shown) for transmitting a signal of setting value information in the conventional method to the main board 700 becomes unnecessary, so that the structure is simple. In addition, illegal acts such as shorting the cable with a jig such as a wire can be reliably prevented. As a result, the slot machine 100 that can more surely eliminate fraudulent acts from fraudulents is realized.
[0045]
Then, the setting switching button CS is arranged at the corner Co of the main substrate 700, and the opening 910 exposing the button CS is formed at the corner of the storage case 900 corresponding to the corner Co of the main substrate 700. Normally, an opening 910 is formed at a position as far as possible from the ROM device 701 of the storage case 900 that is sealed after storing the main board 700 on which the ROM device 701 is mounted near the center. Therefore, a very favorable situation can be obtained in order to prevent fraudulent acts on the ROM device 701. Further, since the opening 910 is formed in the case cover 902 in the vicinity of the forming portion of the openings 906 and 905 for the connectors 705 and 706, for example, a design change with respect to a mold for forming the case cover suffices. Implementation of the setting switching button CS can be realized while suppressing an increase in cost.
[0046]
Further, since the pressing force generated by pressing the setting switching button CS can be received not at the central portion of the main substrate 700 but at the corner Co of the main substrate 700, the stress is concentrated at the central portion of the main substrate 700. Such as the rib 912 supporting the back surface of the main substrate 700 in the storage case 900, the screwing boss portion 913 disposed in the corner (Co), and the like. It is possible to obtain an appropriate reaction force against
[0047]
In the present embodiment, the setting switching button CS is installed in the lower left part of the main board 700 (storage case 900) in the figure, but the installation position is not limited to this, and the left in the figure. Of course, any one of the upper part, the lower right part, and the upper right part may be used.
[0048]
  Next, a setting change procedure in the main board 700 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.
  When the administrator changes the payout rate of the slot machine 100, the front door 101 is unlocked, and the power switch B provided on the power supply board 500 isQIs turned off (step S101).
[0049]
  Next, power switch BQIs set in a state in which a predetermined key (key) is inserted into the key hole of the setting switch BO on the main board 700 and the key is rotated by a predetermined angle in a predetermined direction (for example, clockwise direction). The switch BO is turned on (step S101).
[0050]
  When the administrator performs the operations of steps S100 and S101, the micro provided on the main board 700 is displayed.ProcessorSwitches the slot machine 100 to the setting change mode.
[0051]
Next, when the administrator turns on the power switch BQ to return it to the original state (step S102), the power supply board 500 starts a normal power supply operation for operating the slot machine 100 from the standby state.
[0052]
  Next, when the administrator appropriately turns on the setting switch button CS provided on the central display substrate 400 (step S103), the micro on the main substrate 700 side.ProcessorHowever, each time the switch is turned on, the numerical value displayed on the setting display element CT is incremented by 1 in the range of 1 to 6, and when the numerical value 6 is reached, it is increased again from 1 to perform so-called repeated display.
  At this time, the setting selection process is performed on the main board.700Done on. Therefore, as before, the centerDisplay groupBoard400From main board700Since no cable is used to transmit signals to the cable, fraud to this cable can be prevented.
[0053]
  Next, when the administrator turns on the start lever ST provided in the operation unit 104c in a state where a desired numerical value is displayed on the setting display element CT (step S104), the micro in the main substrate 700 is turned on.ProcessorHowever, the output rate corresponding to the value is set internally.
[0054]
  Next, when the administrator turns off the setting switch BO, that is, turns the above-mentioned key counterclockwise (step S105), the micro switch in the main board 700 is turned on.ProcessorConfirms the above-mentioned internally set payout rate and ends the setting change mode.
[0055]
  Then, the administrator removes the above key from the key hole of the setting switch BO and locks the front door 101 to the housing 102 side, so that the administrator can scan at the above-determined payout rate.lotAllows you to play machine games.
[0056]
As described above, according to the present invention, since the setting switching button CS is directly attached on the main board 700, a cable for transmitting the setting selection signal in the conventional method to the main board 700 is not required, and thus the structure is simple. At the same time, it is possible to reliably prevent an illegal act of shorting the cable with a jig such as a wire. Further, since the setting switching button CS is disposed at a corner where the main substrate 700 is supported with high strength, the main substrate 700 can be prevented from being damaged by the operation of the setting switching button CS.
Further, since the main board 700 is arranged on the back side of the housing, it is extremely difficult to illegally operate setting switching with the front door slightly opened so that it is not discovered by a game attendant or the like. Become
[0057]
  In the present embodiment, for example, referring to FIG. 6, a cover member that covers at least the opening 910 of the case cover 902 from the upper part thereof can be separately provided. In this case, the cover member can be made of the same hard plastic as the storage case 900. In this way, the opening 910 that exposes the setting switch button CS is reliably covered, and the fraudsterChange settingsIt is possible to reliably prevent a fraud from being inserted by inserting a jig such as a wire through a slight gap between the button CS and the opening 910.
[0058]
【The invention's effect】
  As explained above,Claim 1According to the rotary type gaming machine of the invention, the setting switching buttonTimesOf the chassis of the torsoTopInstalled directly on the main boardIn addition, the power switch and the setting switch are provided on the power supply device board disposed at the lower part of the housing.So, even if a fraudulent person is not discovered by a game attendant, etc., the setting switch button with the front door slightly opened, Power switch and setting switchIllegallyTo change the appearance rate setting condition illegally.Even if you trySince it is necessary to insert a fraudulent instrument from both the upper part and the lower part, it is extremely difficult to illegally change the play rate setting condition.
  In addition, since the setting display element is provided on a central display board mounted at the center of the front door in the vertical direction on the back side, the numerical value displayed on the setting display element is confirmed if the front door is not opened wide enough to see the back side. Since it is not possible to do so, it is extremely difficult to illegally change the appearance rate setting conditions.
  Therefore, a swivel-type gaming machine that can more reliably eliminate fraudulent acts from fraudsters is realized.
  Further, since the setting switching button is directly attached to the main board, a cable for connecting the setting switching button in the conventional method to the main board side is not required, and the structure is simplified.
[0059]
  Also,Claim 2Invention of the torso gameIn machineAccording to the settings switch buttonA rotating type gaming machine is arranged near the side part to which the upper front door is attached, and a power switch and a setting switch are arranged near the side part to which the lower front door is attached.SoIn the case of an unauthorized person who illegally operates the setting switch button, setting switch, and power switch to change the output rate setting condition illegally, the fraudster illegally operates from a narrow gap on the side where the front door of the chassis is attached. Since an instrument has to be inserted, it is extremely difficult to illegally change the play rate setting condition.
  Further, according to the swivel type gaming machine according to the third aspect of the present invention, the setting switching button is arranged at the corner of the main board, and the storage case has a large number of ribs supporting the main board on the outer periphery of the main board. Since the setting switching button of the main board is arranged at the corner where the ribs intersect, the pressing force when operating the setting switching button is not the central part of the main board, for example, Since it can be received at the corners of the main board, it is possible to reliably avoid the inconvenience of stress concentration at the center of the main board, and at the same time, the ribs that carry the back of the main board in the storage case, and usually the corners. An appropriate reaction force that opposes the pressing force can be obtained by a screwing boss or the like disposed in the portion.
