[About other embodiments]
In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example.
For example, in the embodiment, the case where the parallel link mechanism 231 configuring the opening / closing interlock mechanism 230 includes the first and second link arms 232 and 235, the link support body 250, and the slide body 240 is illustrated. For example, as shown in FIGS. 34 and 35, a link arm parallel to a line passing through the hinge centers of the door body hinge mechanism 20 and the display apparatus hinge mechanism 108 between the door body 21 and the electric display device 130. 290 is provided, one end of the link arm 290 is rotatably connected to the door body 21 by a connecting shaft, and the other end of the link arm 290 is rotatably connected to the electric display device 130 by a connecting shaft. It is also possible to configure a parallel link mechanism.
However, in this case, the distance between the hinge centers of the door body hinge mechanism 20 and the display device hinge mechanism 108 and the distance between the centers of the connecting shafts at both ends of the link arm 290 are made equal to each other, thereby providing a four-link parallel link mechanism. It is desirable to configure.
Also in this case, as shown in FIGS. 34 and 35, the electric display device 130 is connected to the predetermined opening / closing operation of the door body 21 by the link mechanism (link arm 290) constituting the opening / closing interlock mechanism 230. It is held in a posture and opened and closed. As a result, when the door body 21 is opened and closed, the electric display device 130 hits various parts arranged on the rear surface or the rear surface of the door body 21 or the connection lines wired on the rear side of the door body 21. It is possible to satisfactorily prevent problems such as being caught by the electric display device 130 and damaging the connection line.

Further, the opening / closing interlock mechanism 230 may be configured by an urging means such as a spring that urges the electric display device 130 always forward. In this case, when the door body 21 is in a closed state, the electric display device 130 contacts the rear side of the door body 21 and is maintained in a predetermined display posture. Further, when the door body 21 is opened, the electric display device 130 follows the door body 21 by an urging means such as a spring and is rotated forward about the hinge pin 107 so that the main control is performed from the front of the gaming machine. The entire front side of the board box 120 is visible.
In other words, the opening / closing interlock mechanism 230 opens the electric display device 130 forward in conjunction with the opening operation of the door body 21, and conversely, when the door body 21 is closed to the original position, Any structure may be used as long as the electric display device 130 is closed to the original position in conjunction with the closing operation.
In addition, the electrical display device 130 is opened and closed in the same direction as the opening and closing direction in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the door body 21 by the opening and closing interlock mechanism 230, so that the main control board box 120 and the main relay board 141 are visually inspected. Or, it is possible to easily check for fraud. Further, the present invention can be implemented without necessarily providing the opening / closing interlock mechanism 230. In this case, it is desirable to close the electric display device 130 as the game effect device in the closed position by the closing means.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case of a gaming machine that uses a pachinko ball to perform slot games is illustrated, but the pachinko ball of the ball tray is fired to the game area of the game board by the ball launcher, and the game board On the other hand, the present invention can be carried out even with a pachinko machine in which a game unit is configured by mounting various winning devices as game devices relating to a game, an accessory device, or the like.
