Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and in particular, is applied to a so-called seven machine, a ball game machine such as a right object.

  The ball game machine is usually equipped with (1) an outer frame fixed to the installation site of the pachinko hall island facility, and (2) an openable opening on the one side along the left-right direction of the outer frame. An inner frame in which a portion is formed; (3) a game board that is detachably attached to an opening of the middle frame; and (4) a glass door frame (front frame) including a glass plate that covers a front part of the game board. (5) A tray that is attached to a portion of the front portion of the middle frame that is lower than the mounting position of the game board so as to be openable and closable and that has an upper plate portion for storing game balls discharged from the gaming machine And a door member.

  On the front surface portion of the game board, a “rail member including an outer rail and an inner rail” is disposed so as to protrude forward, and a substantially circular outer edge portion of the game area using the area rail portion constituting the rail member (Outer peripheral wall). That is, on the front surface of the game board, (A) an outer rail configured by arranging a band-shaped metal plate with a substantially arc shape (C-shape) with the opening facing downward, and (B) On the inner side of the location where the outer rail is disposed, an inner rail configured by arranging a belt-like metal plate in a substantially arc shape (C-shape) with the opening facing upward is disposed.

  In the front part of the game board, the game ball launched from the lower right side of the game board and raised along the left-up inclined firing rail is located between the outer rail and the inner rail on the left end side of the game board. It is led to the upper left part of the game board through the guide passage. The game ball is surrounded by the entire inner rail and the upper portion of the outer rail through an inlet formed between the upper left end of the inner rail and the upper left end of the outer rail. Released into the gaming area. And in this game area, an out mouth is provided in the lowest part, and various winning devices are arranged in a position above this lowest part.

  When this ball game machine is, for example, a seven machine, a start winning device (start opening) and a big winning device are arranged in the game area. In addition, the ball game machine may determine whether or not to change the gaming state of the gaming machine from the normal gaming state to the big hit gaming state (that is, the special gaming state) (hereinafter referred to as “winning determination”). ) And a symbol display means (for example, constituted by a liquid crystal display device) for performing a fixed display of a determination result symbol indicating the result of the determination.

  This big winning device is usually a portion of a winning opening (which constitutes a specific example of a winning opening and serves as an entrance for a game ball to the big winning device, and is generally called a big winning port. And an opening / closing member for opening and closing the winning opening, and a winning ball detecting means (winning ball detecting switch) for detecting a game ball won through the winning opening. Among these, the opening / closing member is generally configured in a substantially door shape, and is attached to an attachment portion provided on the front portion of the game board. The opening / closing member is tiltable back and forth (rotatable) while providing a tilting fulcrum on the lower end side. This opening / closing member can be appropriately changed in posture between “standing position for closing the winning opening” and “forward tilting posture for opening the winning opening”. The opening / closing member is in a standing posture when the winning opening condition is not established, and is in a forward leaning position when the opening condition is established.

  Here, the “normal game state” refers to a “game state in which the winning opening allowance condition is continuously not satisfied and the winning opening is kept closed”. In addition, the “big hit game state” refers to a “game state in which the winning opening release condition is intermittently established for a predetermined number of times and the winning opening opening state is realized intermittently”. In the following description, the operation of changing the posture of the opening / closing member from the standing posture to the forward leaning posture and returning it to the standing posture again, that is, the operation of opening / closing the winning opening may be referred to as “unit operation”. .

  In this seven machine, the execution condition of the aforementioned “determination” (that is, the determination execution condition) is determined on the assumption that a “game ball winning in the start winning device (hereinafter referred to as“ start winning prize ”)” is detected. To establish. Further, when the display execution condition of the “symbol indicating the determination result (determination result symbol)” is satisfied, first, the effect display is executed in the symbol display means. This effect display is normally a display (that is, a variable display) whose contents are cyclic display of “a plurality of identification symbols (that is, special symbols)” sequentially. Then, after the effect display is performed for a predetermined fluctuation time, the determination result symbol is fixedly displayed (stopped display) in the symbol display means.

  When this judgment result symbol is a big hit symbol (a symbol indicating that the judgment result is a big hit) (for example, “7,7” or “7,7,7”, etc.), the configuration symbol is displayed in a doublet state. In such a case, the gaming state of the gaming machine shifts from the “normal gaming state” to the “hit gaming state (special gaming state)”. Then, when the gaming state of the gaming machine shifts to the “big hit gaming state (special gaming state)”, the opening / closing member is moved a predetermined number of times (so-called “round number”, for example, 14 to 16 times). “Unit operation” is performed.

  That is, when the gaming state of the gaming machine shifts to the “hit gaming state (special gaming state)”, the opening / closing member is opened to change the closed prize-winning device to the opened state. Thereby, it is possible to win a game ball in the winning opening. Thereafter, when a predetermined number of game balls are won in the winning opening or a predetermined time elapses, the opening / closing member is temporarily closed (the opening / closing member is returned to the standing position), and the large winning device is The closed state is established, and “one unit operation” applied to the opening / closing member is completed. That is, the unit operation of changing the posture of the opening / closing member from the closed posture to the open posture and returning to the closed posture is completed. When the “unit operation of the opening / closing member” is repeated a predetermined number of times (so-called “round number”), the gaming state of the gaming machine is returned from the “big hit gaming state” to the “normal gaming state”.

  However, in a gaming machine equipped with an “open / close-type winning device (hereinafter referred to as“ variable winning device ”) such as this big winning device, it may be a target of fraud. That is, a member (hereinafter referred to as “illegal member”) such as a piano wire or a wire from the lower side of the glass door frame in a space portion formed between the game board and the glass door frame arranged in front thereof. ), And the illegal member forcibly opens the variable winning device and illegally causes the variable winning device to win a game ball illegally.

  For example, in the “big prize device”, the tip of an unauthorized member is locked to an opening / closing member (attacker), and the unauthorized member forcibly changes the posture of the opening / closing member (attacker) to a forward tilted posture. Action may be performed. In other words, even though the gaming state of the gaming machine is actually a normal gaming state (even though the allowance condition for opening is not satisfied), the posture of the opening / closing member is forcibly changed to the forward leaning posture. In some cases, an illegal act of illegally trying to obtain a prize ball by illegally entering a game ball (winning) at a prize opening may be performed.

  Various intrusion prevention means have been proposed for the purpose of such “prevention of fraud”. For example, there has been proposed an intrusion prevention means configured using an intrusion prevention member that is closely attached to “a fraud countermeasure portion selected from the lower half portion of the area rail portion” (Patent Document 1). See). In other words, the intrusion prevention member has an arcuate portion (a flat plate portion and a receiving groove portion) arranged in a substantially arc shape along the outer surface of the anti-fraud part, and a direction from the outer edge of the arcuate portion to the glass door frame (front And an insertion blocking piece extending toward the head. And this intrusion prevention member is comprised so that an insertion prevention piece may contact | abut to the back surface part (for example, glass back surface part) of a glass door frame in the state which closed the glass door frame. In the present specification, the “tamper countermeasure part” refers to a “part where a countermeasure for preventing the intrusion of an unauthorized member is to be taken” in the lower half portion of the area rail portion. It is comprised by the circular arc-shaped site | part including the lowest part among rails.

JP-A-9-201443

  With this type of intrusion prevention member, it is difficult to satisfy both a request for improving the mounting state and a request for smoothing the mounting operation at the same time. That is, for the attachment of this type of intrusion prevention member, for example, (1) a method of attaching a plurality of locations including both ends of the intrusion prevention member to a fraud countermeasure site using a screw (hereinafter referred to as “attachment method 1”). ) Is used. In addition, as shown in FIG. 26, (2) on both end sides of the intrusion prevention member 900, mounting portions 901 and 902 having substantially hook shapes and projecting toward the center of the game area are provided, and an anti-fraud site 950 is provided. At both end portions of this, mounting holes 951 and 952 are provided. Then, the attachment portion 901 on the left end side of the intrusion prevention member 900 is attached to the attached hole 951 on the left end portion side of the fraud countermeasure portion 950, and the attachment portion 902 on the right end portion side of the intrusion prevention member 900 is attached to the fraud prevention portion 951. A method of attaching the intrusion prevention member 900 to the fraud countermeasure part 950 (hereinafter referred to as “attachment method 2”) is used.

  However, when the attachment method 1 is used, it is easy to improve the adhesion state of the intrusion prevention member to the anti-fraud site and to improve the attachment state of the intrusion prevention member. It is difficult to make it easier. This is because it is necessary to perform a troublesome screwing operation when attaching the lid and the intrusion prevention member.

  On the other hand, when the attachment method 2 is used, it is easy to facilitate the attachment work of the intrusion prevention member 900, but it is difficult to improve the attachment state of the intrusion prevention member 900. This is because if the lid is attached and the attachment method 2 is used, the intrusion prevention member 900 is not in close contact with the fraud countermeasure portion 950 and is likely to be slackened downward. More specifically, when the attachment method 2 is used, the interval between the left and right attachment portions 901 and 902 is set slightly larger than the interval between the left and right attachment holes 951 and 952, and the left and right attachment portions 901 and 902 are set. If the clearance (play) between the distance between the left and right hooked holes 901 and 902 is not provided, it is difficult to attach the intrusion prevention member 900. That is, after attaching one attachment portion 901 to one attachment hole 951, the intrusion prevention member 900 is slightly slid in the circumferential direction of the fraud countermeasure portion 950 (inner rail), and the other attachment portion 902 is moved to the other attachment portion 901. The attachment to the attachment hole 952 is completed and the attachment of the intrusion prevention member 900 is completed. Therefore, when the attachment method 2 is used, after the intrusion prevention member 900 is attached, only the clearance (play) between the left and right attachment portions 901 and 902 and the left and right attachment holes 951 and 952 is provided. This is because the intrusion prevention member tends to be loosened downward.

  And when this slack occurs, the following problems occur. In other words, the above-described firing rail is normally disposed below the fraud countermeasure portion 950. For this reason, when slack occurs in the intrusion prevention member 900, a game ball (launch ball) on the launch rail may come into contact with the intrusion prevention member 900, causing problems such as unstable ball jumping.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 26, projecting pieces 961 and 962 projecting substantially linearly in the direction of the center of the game area are provided on the left and right ends of the intrusion prevention member 900, and both ends of the fraud countermeasure portion 950 are provided. A mode in which the mounting holes 951 and 952 are provided in the case can also be exemplified. In this embodiment, the protruding pieces 961 and 962 are inserted into the corresponding mounting holes 951 and 952, respectively, so that the protruding pieces 961 and 962 face the inside of the game area. Then, the protruding pieces 961 and 962 are bent in the circumferential direction of the fraud countermeasure portion 950 (inner rail), and the attachment of the intrusion prevention member 900 is completed. According to this aspect, it is possible to improve the attachment state of the intrusion prevention member 900, but the work of attaching the intrusion prevention member 900 becomes complicated. When attaching the intrusion prevention member 900, it is necessary to bend the projecting pieces 961 and 962. However, the work is complicated and workable as in the above-described “screw fixing operation”. Because it is bad.

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and the object of the present invention is to satisfy both a request for improving the mounting state of the intrusion prevention member and a request for smoothing the mounting operation at the same time. It is to provide a gaming machine that can.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide an intrusion prevention means capable of satisfying both a request for improving the attachment state of the intrusion prevention member and a request for smoothing the attachment work.

Therefore, according to the invention of claim 5, “loosening of the intrusion preventing member” can be more reliably prevented.

  The upper leaf spring portion may be provided integrally with the base portion or may be constituted by a leaf spring separate from the base portion. In an embodiment in which the base portion is provided integrally, the base portion or a part of the base portion is made of a metal plate, and a substantially U-shaped “cut portion” is provided on the plate. In the plate-like object, a portion surrounded by the “cut portion” is folded back above the base portion, and the upper leaf spring portion can be configured by the folded portion. As an application invention of the invention of claim 5, an urging means other than a leaf spring (coil spring, rubber, cushion member such as a resin foam) is disposed between the upper surface portion of the base portion and the support portion. An aspect can also be illustrated.

The gaming machine of claim 6 is the gaming machine of claims 1 to 5,
The base portion is configured using a core member configured using a substantially band-shaped plate-like material, and a constituent material softer than the constituent material of the core member, and the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion of the core member. A skin member covering at least one of them,
The extending portion is provided integrally with the skin member using the same constituent material as the skin member.

  In the invention of claim 6, the structure of the base portion is a double structure including a core member and a soft skin member, and the extending portion is integrally formed with the skin member. That is, in the invention of claim 6, the intrusion prevention member includes a portion (core member) that focuses on securing rigidity and a portion (portion consisting of the skin member and the extending portion) that focuses on securing flexibility. Due to the double structure, the original function of the intrusion prevention member (intrusion prevention function for unauthorized members) can be more reliably exhibited while facilitating the handling of the intrusion prevention member.

  According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, since the extension portion and the like are configured using a soft material, the adhesion of the extension portion to the glass door frame is enhanced. In addition, since the core member can ensure the rigidity of the intrusion prevention member, the intrusion prevention member can be easily handled even if the extending portion is made of a soft material.

The skin member etc. which coat | cover can be illustrated. In any embodiment, it is more preferable to cover the upper surface portion of the core member with a skin member made of an elastic material because the degree of adhesion of the base portion to the anti-fraud site is increased.

  In addition, when the component material of a fraud countermeasure part (inner rail) is a metal, the following effects are also acquired by making the component material of a core member into a metal. In other words, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the anti-fraud part (inner rail) and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the core component material can be made equal or approximate, so that the anti-fraud part (inner rail) and the intrusion prevention member Even if expansion or the like occurs, it is possible to prevent the degree of adhesion of the intrusion prevention member to the anti-fraud site (inner rail) from decreasing.

The gaming machine of claim 7 is the gaming machine of claims 1 to 6,
In the intrusion prevention member, at least the extension portion is subjected to a transparency reduction process.

  According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, it is possible to more reliably prevent fraud and prevent execution of fraud more accurately. In other words, many of the fraudsters peek into the inside of the gaming machine from the front of the glass door frame when shifting the unauthorized member inserted in the lower position of the gaming board in the gaming machine to the front of the gaming board, Check the position of the unauthorized member (particularly, the position of the tip of the unauthorized member). On the other hand, according to the invention of claim 7, it is difficult to confirm the position of the unauthorized member (particularly, the position of the distal end of the unauthorized member) by performing a process of reducing the transparency of the main wall body portion. Since it is impossible, it is impossible or difficult to execute fraud. Therefore, according to the invention of claim 7, it is possible to more reliably prevent fraud and to prevent execution of fraud more accurately.

  Here, the “transparency reduction process” of the invention of claim 7 is a process for reducing the transparency of the extension part or the entire intrusion prevention member (hereinafter referred to as “extension part etc.”). This is a process of reducing the degree to which the extending portion or the like can be seen through in the vertical direction. Specifically, (1) a process for applying color to the extended part, (2) a process for applying a pattern to the extended part, etc., (3) a process for applying a figure or other diagram to the extended part, etc. 4) A process of providing irregular reflection generating means (scratches, slits, unevenness, etc.) on the extended part (especially its upper surface part) or a combination of two or more of the processes (1) to (4) The process etc. can be illustrated. When the intrusion prevention member (in the invention of claim 6, the skin member and the extending portion) is made of an integrally molded resin product, the process of applying the color (1) is performed at the time of molding the integrally molded product. However (for example, a pigment may be mixed in the material), or it may be performed by post-coloring after molding of the integrally molded product. Further, the “transparency reduction processing” can be performed by applying the same color, pattern, diagram, and the like to the “cell image” arranged in the game area on the upper surface of the extended portion.

  In the invention of each claim, the following modes can be illustrated as specific examples of the “mounting protrusion”. For example, a substantially flat mounting protrusion protruding from the lower surface portion of the base portion can be exemplified. In addition, the hooked portion of the invention of each claim includes “a bottomed hole-like hooked portion”, “a hole-like hooked portion penetrating the support portion”, “a groove-like hooked portion” ] May be sufficient.

  Examples of the “rail member” of the invention of each claim include those provided with an outer rail and an inner rail. Among these, the “outer rail” is usually arranged in a substantially arc shape (C shape) with the opening facing downward (in a state of drawing a substantially arc-shaped route on the front surface portion of the game board). And a belt-shaped metal plate). In addition, the “inner rail” is arranged in a substantially arc shape (C shape) with the opening portion facing upward at a portion inside the outer rail in the front portion of the game board. It is configured using a “band-shaped metal plate” arranged in a state of drawing a path of (1). At the front part of the game board, the game ball that is launched from the lower right side of the game board and rises along the left upward inclined launch rail is located between the outer rail and the inner rail on the left end side of the game board. It is led to the upper left part of the game board through the guide passage. The substantially entire inner rail and the upper portion of the outer rail constitute a “region rail portion” having a substantially circular shape (drawing a substantially circular path).

  Of the front portion of the game board, a portion surrounded by the region rail portion is a game region. In this game area, an out port is provided at the lowermost part, and various winning devices are arranged at positions above the lowermost part. In the gaming machine, a launching device is disposed obliquely below and to the right of the game board, and the game ball is launched by the launching device and draws a path that rises from the oblique right side to the left side of the game board below the game board. Ascend along the firing rail. Furthermore, the game ball that has risen along the launch rail is guided to the upper left portion of the game board through a guide path between the outer rail and the inner rail on the left end side of the game board. The game ball is discharged into the game area through an inlet portion (an inlet portion of the game area) formed between the upper left end portion of the inner rail and the upper left end portion of the outer rail.

  The “countermeasures for fraud” of the invention of each claim can be appropriately selected from the “lower half side portion of the region rail portion”, but is configured as “an arc-shaped portion including the lowermost portion of the region rail portion” It is desirable to do. For example, in a Seven machine, among the winning devices arranged in the game area, “a large winning device that can expect a large number of prize balls” is most likely to be a target of fraud. And, this “large winning device” is often arranged above the “lowermost part of the area rail part” (above the out mouth) in the game area. For this reason, it is desirable to select the “counter measure against fraud” in a state including the “part located in the area rail portion immediately below the big winning device (the lowermost part of the area rail part)”.

  The size (path length) of the “counterfeit countermeasure part” is preferably selected in consideration of the width along the left-right direction of the “big prize device”. For example, among the region rail portions, the lowermost portion is arranged in the center, and is an arc-shaped portion (portion that draws an arc-shaped route) that rises on both the left and right sides, and has a central angle of 20 to 180 degrees (particularly , 35 degrees to 180 degrees), it is desirable to configure the “countermeasures for fraud” using a portion having any angle of 35 degrees to 180 degrees.

  Usually, a glass door frame is provided with the glass plate and the door frame main body which hold | maintains this glass plate. And as "the state where the extension part contacts the glass door frame" of the invention of each claim, (1) the mode in which the extension part reaches the door frame main body, (2) the extension part on the glass plate Achieving modes, (3) A mode in which the extending portion reaches both the door frame main body and the glass plate, and the like can be exemplified. In the invention of each claim, the holding means for holding the glass plate on the door frame main body is fixedly attached to the door frame main body (even if it is attached in a state where it cannot be opened and closed). It may be mounted in an openable / closable state.

  In the invention of each claim, the protruding direction of the latching piece can be variously selected, and the direction along the upper surface portion of the base portion can be exemplified. That is, one of the left and right directions, left and right bidirectional, one of the front and rear directions, front and rear bidirectional, one of the front and rear directions, and the front and rear of the diagonal directions can be exemplified. In these cases, the latching piece may project in a substantially horizontal direction, but may project in a tilting direction. Moreover, in the invention of each claim, in the inner wall portion of the hooked portion, the locations where the mounting projections actually contact (locations that are actually latched) are, for example, the following locations. That is, the surface part located in either the right or left can be illustrated among the surface parts which comprise the inner wall part of a to-be-latched part.

This certificate stamp constitutes a display unit for displaying information related to the gaming machine (manufacturer, serial number, etc.). Information on the gaming machine is printed on the front surface of the certificate paper. The certificate stand 500 is a finished product with the certificate attached (attached), and constitutes a specific example of the “gaming machine information display member” according to the third aspect of the present invention.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the peripheral wall portion 503 has a right wall plate portion 503a, a left wall plate portion 503b, an upper wall plate portion 503c, and a bottom wall plate portion 503d in a substantially trapezoidal frame shape. The arrangement is provided. Among these, the upper wall board part 503c is comprised by the substantially circular arc shape along the upper end edge of the front wall board 502. FIG. That is, the upper surface portion 507 of the upper wall plate portion 503c is formed in a substantially band shape and has substantially the same curvature as that of the inner rail 15. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, when the certificate stand 500 is mounted on the game board 10, the upper surface portion 507 of the upper wall plate portion 503 c and “the portion located on the right side of the lower half side of the inner rail 15” Is substantially parallel to the outer surface.

  The upper surface portion 507 of the upper wall plate portion 503c constitutes a specific example of the “support portion”, and as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, constitutes an inclined portion (inclined surface) that falls in the left direction. . On the right end side of the upper wall plate portion 503c, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, a groove portion 507a that opens obliquely upward is provided.

The opening portion opened at the upper surface portion 507 of the groove portion 507 a has the longitudinal direction directed in the depth direction of the certificate table 500 and the short direction directed in the width direction of the certificate table 500.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, a support protrusion 507 b protrudes from the left end side of the upper surface portion 507 of the upper wall plate portion 503 c. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, a dropout prevention wall 507c is raised in a substantially arc shape from a portion located on the right end side at the front edge of the upper wall plate portion 503c. The dropout prevention wall 507c is provided with a notch 507g for opening the front end of the groove 507a (second hooked portion) forward.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the intrusion prevention member 600 includes a base portion 610 and an extension portion 620. Among these, the base body part 610 is formed in a long band shape, and the longitudinal width and the short width are substantially equal to the fraud countermeasure part F. The base portion 610 is disposed in a substantially arc shape along the outer surface F1 of the anti-fraud site F when the intrusion prevention member 600 is attached to the anti-fraud site F.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the extending portion 620 is also formed in a long band shape, and extends obliquely downward from the front end edge of the base portion 610. Then, when the intrusion prevention member 600 is attached to the fraud countermeasure portion F and the front frame 4 (glass door frame) is closed, the extended portion 620 has a protruding end portion at the front frame 4 (glass door frame). ) (See FIG. 17).

  As shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, the base portion 610 is configured using a core member 611 (see FIG. 19) configured using a substantially band-shaped metal plate, and a base portion. And an outer skin member 612 covering the upper surface portion 610a of the 610. The extending portion 620 is configured using the same resin as that of the skin member 612 and is integrated with the skin member 612. In other words, an integrated object composed of the skin member 612 and the extending portion 620 is formed by being integrally molded using a resin.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the core member 611 is formed in a long band shape, and has a fraud countermeasure portion F substantially equal in length and width. A first mounting protrusion 613 protrudes upward at a portion located on the left end side of the upper surface portion of the core member 611 while being substantially L-shaped. That is, as shown in FIG. 20A, the first mounting protrusion 613 includes a first protruding piece 613a protruding above the upper surface portion of the core member 611, and a protruding end of the first protruding piece 613a. And a latching piece 613b that protrudes in a direction substantially parallel to the upper surface of the core member 611 (but protrudes slightly upward toward the free end).

  In addition, while the latching piece 613b comprises the specific example of a latching part, both the 1st protrusion piece 613a and the latching piece 613b are made into flat form. Further, the free end of the first mounting projection 613, that is, the protruding end portion of the latching piece 613 b is oriented in the right end direction of the core member 611. However, the direction in which the protruding end portion of the latching piece 613b is directed may be another direction (the left end direction of the core member 611, the front direction of the core member 611, the rear direction of the core member 611, or the like).

  When the intrusion prevention member 600 is attached to the fraud countermeasure part F, the “first projecting piece 613 a” is disposed so as to project inward in the radius direction of the game area 11. In addition, the latching piece 613b is bent from the protruding end portion of the first protruding piece 613a in a direction that circulates the game area 11 (bent so as to circulate in the left direction), and is disposed in a protruding state ( (See FIG. 21).

  At the right end of the core member 611, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 20C, the second mounting projection 614 protrudes downward. The second mounting projection 614 is formed in a flat plate shape that is substantially orthogonal to the right end portion of the core member 611. When the intrusion prevention member 600 is attached to the fraud countermeasure part F, the “second attachment protrusion 614” is disposed so as to protrude in the radially outward direction of the game area 11.

  As shown in FIG. 20B, a lower leaf spring portion 615 protrudes from a lower surface portion of the core member 611 and a portion near the right end portion of the core member 611. The lower leaf spring portion 615 is provided with a substantially U-shaped cut portion at a portion near the right end of the core member 611, and the portion surrounded by the “cut portion” in the core member 611 The member 611 is bent downward.

  The core member 611 protrudes downward from the lower surface portion. When the free end is bent close to the lower surface portion of the base portion 610 (when the lower leaf spring portion 615 is bent so that the inclination angle X with respect to the lower surface portion of the core member 611 is reduced). ), The lower leaf spring portion 615 generates an urging force (an urging force in a direction to restore the tilt angle X) that separates the free end from the lower surface portion of the base portion 610.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the skin member 612 covers a portion of the upper surface portion of the core member 611 excluding the left and right end portions of the core member 611. As shown in FIG. 17, the skin member 612 includes a main body 612a that is in surface contact with the upper surface of the core member 611, and a gripping portion that is provided at the left and right edges of the main body 612a and has a substantially L-shaped cross section. 612b and 612c are provided.

  The skin member 612 is attached to the core member 611 in a state where the protruding end portions of the gripping portions 612b and 612c are wrapped around the lower surface portion of the core member 611. Even if the skin member 612 is attached to the core member 611, most of the both ends of the core member 611 and the back surface of the core member 611 are not covered with the skin member 612. For this reason, the first mounting projection 613, the second mounting projection 614, and the lower leaf spring portion 615 are exposed to the outside.

  Next, an example of a procedure for mounting the intrusion prevention unit 300 will be described. First, the certificate stand 500 is mounted on the right outer region MR of the game board 10. In this mounting, the outer surface F1 of the fraud countermeasure part F and the upper surface portion 507 (support portion) of the upper wall plate portion 503c are at a predetermined gap (interval at which the base portion 610 can be inserted. It is mounted so as to face each other with a gap of 1.02 times to 1.80 times the wall thickness of 610. At this time, the outer side surface F1 of the fraud countermeasure part F and the upper surface part 507 (supporting part) of the upper wall plate part 503c are substantially parallel. Then, screws are attached to the screw insertion holes 506a and 509a from the front of the card stand 500 through the notches 508a and 508b, and the card stand 500 is fixed to the right outer region MR of the game board 10.

  Thereafter, the intrusion prevention member 600 is attached to the fraud countermeasure part F. First, as shown in FIG. 21A, the first mounting protrusion 613 is aligned with the through hole q (aligned along the radius of the game area 11). Thereafter, the first mounting protrusion 613 is inserted into the through hole q. Further, the base end portion 610 is moved to the left rotation direction of the area rail portion r outside the outer surface F1 of the anti-fraud part F, and the first mounting projection 613 is moved to the left rotation direction within the through hole q. . In addition, since the width along the left-right direction of the through-hole q is made larger than the width along the left-right direction of the latching piece 613b (that is, the latching portion), the first mounting projection 613 is the through-hole. It can be inserted smoothly with respect to q.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 21B, the first mounting protrusion 613 is hooked on the first hooked portion Q. That is, the first protruding piece 613a (which constitutes the above-described insertion portion) is inserted into the through hole q, and the latching piece 613b (that is, the latching portion) is latched by the first latched portion Q. . At this time, the latching piece 613b abuts (surface abutment) on the first latched portion Q toward the radially outer side of the game area 11, and the latching piece 613b is the first latched portion. It is hooked to the part Q. For this reason, the left end 600L (see FIG. 15) of the intrusion prevention member 600 is attached to the fraud countermeasure portion F using the first attachment protrusion 613.

  Subsequently, the right end 600R {FIG. 22 (a)} of the intrusion prevention member 600 is defined as a gap between the outer surface F1 of the anti-fraud site F and the upper surface 507 (support) of the upper wall plate 503c. S1 is inserted into {FIG. 22 (a)}. As shown in FIG. 14, this insertion operation is an operation for inserting the right end portion side 600 </ b> R into the gap S <b> 1 from the front of the certificate stand 500. During this insertion operation, the second mounting projection 614 passes through the notch 507g and enters the gap S1 from the front to the rear. As a result, the projecting end side of the second mounting projection 614 enters the entrance side of the groove 507a (second hooked portion).

  Thereafter, the second mounting projection 614 is inserted linearly (straightly) along the radially outer direction with respect to the groove 507a (second hooked portion), and the second mounting projection 614 is inserted into the groove. It hooks on the inner wall portion of 507a (second hooked portion). That is, as shown in FIG. 23, this latching includes a second mounting protrusion 614 that protrudes radially outward of the game area 11, and a groove 507 a (opening forward in the direction of the center of the game area 11. Simply insert it into the second hooked part. At this time, the substantially flat “second mounting protrusion 614” has an inclined surface that is inclined downward to the right (inclined to the right along the radially outer direction of the game area 11), and is inclined. The groove 507a (second hooked portion) is in a state of being inclined downward to the right (inclining to the right along the radially outward direction of the game area 11). One side surface 614a (side surface facing leftward) of the second mounting projection 614 is one surface portion (the left end of the groove portion 507a) constituting the inner wall portion of the groove portion 507a (second hooked portion). It has a surface portion that faces rightward.) Abuts (surface abutment) on 507g to complete the engagement of the second mounting projection 614 with the groove 507a (second engagement portion). To do.

  As described above, when the attachment of the intrusion prevention member 600 is completed, the base portion 610 is arranged in a substantially arc shape along the outer surface F1 of the anti-fraud portion F. At this time, the base portion 610 is in close contact with the outer side surface F1 of the fraud countermeasure portion F. In this embodiment, the degree of adhesion of the base portion 610 to the outer surface F1 of the fraud countermeasure portion F is increased by the action of the lower leaf spring portion 615 and the like. That is, when the second mounting projection 614 is hooked on the groove 507a (second hooked portion), the lower leaf spring portion 615 causes the protruding end portion to abut the support protruding portion 507b. At this time, the lower leaf spring portion 615 is bent and compressed so that its free end is brought close to the lower surface portion of the base portion 610. For this reason, it is because the right end part side 600R of the intrusion prevention member 600 is pressed in the direction of the fraud countermeasure part F using the biasing force (restoring force) of the lower leaf spring part 615.

  In this way, when the intrusion prevention member 600 is attached to the fraud countermeasure part F, the extending portion 620 protrudes obliquely below the fraud countermeasure part F as shown in FIG. When the front frame 4 (glass door frame) is in a closed state, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the protruding end portion of the extending portion 620 comes into contact with the back surface portion of the front frame 4 (glass door frame). As a result, it is possible to block the “intrusion route through which the unauthorized member J enters from the bottom toward the big winning device 31”.

(3) Effects of the embodiment

  In the present embodiment, the first mounting protrusion 613 is configured in a substantially hook shape so as to protrude in the radially inward direction of the game area 11, and the second mounting protrusion 614 is formed on the radially outer side of the game area 11. It is comprised in the substantially flat form arrange | positioned in the state which protrudes in a direction. Then, the latching piece 613b (the latching portion) of the first mounting projection 613 is latched to the first latched portion Q, and the left end portion side of the intrusion prevention member 600 is the left end portion of the fraud countermeasure portion F. After being hooked (hooked) to the side, the second mounting projection 614 is inserted into the second hooked portion (groove portion 507a), and the right end portion side of the intrusion prevention member 600 is hooked to the certificate base 500. .

  In other words, in the present embodiment, the “second mounting projection 614” to be latched later is not substantially hook-shaped but has a substantially flat plate shape, and the latch is also the second latched portion (groove portion 507a). ) Complete with "simply insert".
