When the panel structure 27 is supported on the back surface of the front door 4 so as not to be opened and closed, the panel structure 27 closes the window 24 from the back side, and the front side of the bass speaker 30 is covered with the front door 4.

  According to the best mode, as shown in FIG. 1, since the speaker escape portion 46 is provided on the game board 36, even if the bass speaker 30 protrudes rearward from the speaker installation portion 63 or the panel structure 27, There is an advantage that a gap 94 where the ball P falls between the game area which is the front surface of the game board 36 and the rear surface of the rear panel 53 can be appropriately secured. On the other hand, when the low-frequency speaker 30 is provided in the speaker installation unit 63 so as to protrude from the speaker installation unit 63 to the back side, the speaker installation unit 63 is disposed more than the game board 36 without providing the speaker escape unit 46 in the game board 36. It is conceivable that the frame 54 is provided on the left outer side or the upper outer side. However, in this case, it is necessary to move the ball payout mechanism (not shown) attached to the back surface of the board housing portion 7 backward so as to escape the bass speaker 30. When the ball payout mechanism is moved backward, the gaming machine frame 1 This causes a problem that the player cannot be attached to the game installation facility. In addition, it is conceivable that the speaker installation portion 63 is provided on the frame 54 so as to be positioned in front of the game board 36 without providing the speaker escape portion 46 on the game board 36. However, in this case, it is necessary to move the panel structure 27 and the front door 4 forward, and when the panel structure 27 and the front door 4 are moved forward, the gap 94 becomes too wide and the ball P falling through the gap 94 Causes a problem of violently colliding with the rear panel 53.

  The sound emitted to the front side from the cone 83 of the bass speaker 30 is transmitted from the front side of the speaker installation portion 63 to the closed space D, the bass reflex duct portion 72, and the bass reflex opening portion 55 through the transmission path indicated by the sound arrow X1 due to the vibration of air. Then, the sound is discharged from the left and right lower portions of the front door 4 to the front side through the bass sound emitting holes 50 in order. The sound emitted to the rear side from the cone 83 of the bass speaker 30 is transmitted from the rear side of the speaker installation portion 63 through the transmission path indicated by the sound arrow X2 due to air vibration, The sound is discharged to the back side of the game board 36 through the speaker escape portion 46 in order. That is, a bass is emitted from the bass speaker 30 to the lower front side of the front door 4 through the bass reflex duct 72, the bass reflex opening 55, and the bass sound emitting hole 50 using the closed space D as an enclosure. There is an advantage that a game effect by a low sound emitted to the lower front side of the front door 4 is appropriately provided to a player who plays a game on the front side of the gaming machine frame 1. Since the bass emitted to the rear side of the bass speaker 30 is released to the rear side of the gaming machine frame 1, there is an advantage that there is no inconvenience to interfere with the bass emitted to the lower front side of the front door 4. is there.

  Since the front panel 52 includes an overhanging portion 56, and the overhanging portion 56 is disposed on the front side of the speaker installation portion 63, the front panel housing portion 59 and the rear panel housing portion 71 are mutually in the front-rear direction. The position shifts so that it does not get a relative wrinkle. Therefore, the gap H <b> 1 between the back surface of the front panel 52 and the front surface of the rear panel housing portion 71 is wider than when the front panel housing portion 59 and the rear panel housing portion 71 are heeled relative to each other in the front-rear direction. When the gap H1 in the speaker installation portion 63 is increased in this way, a sound having a high sound pressure immediately after being emitted from the cone 83 of the bass speaker 30 to the front side passes through the wide gap H1, so that a good bass is produced by the speaker installation portion 63. There is an advantage that it is discharged into the closed space D. Since the bass speaker 30 is attached to the speaker installation unit 63 so as to protrude from the speaker installation unit 63 to the back side, the bass speaker 30 does not occupy the space on the back side of the front door 4 and the rear side of the front door 4 The space has an advantage that necessary electrical components can be appropriately attached to the front door 4.

  In FIG. 1, in order to clearly indicate the boundary between the front door 4 and the panel structure 27, the front surface of the front panel 52 of the panel structure 27 is illustrated as being separated from the back surface of the front door 4 surrounding the window 24. However, when the panel structure 27 is closed to the front door 4 so as not to be opened and closed, the front surface of the front panel 52 contacts the back surface of the front door 4 surrounding the window 24.

  In FIG. 5, the speaker front cover 67 may be attached to the speaker installation portion 63 with an adhesive without using a fixing tool such as a set screw 69. In FIG. 6, the duct cover 77 may be attached to the frame 54 with an adhesive without using a fixing tool such as a set screw 80. And the place where the bass speaker 30 is overlapped in the front-rear direction is not limited to the upper left part of the gaming machine frame 1.
