  The sealing mechanism 45 sets the rigidity of the left sub-sealing portion 87 to be stronger than the rigidity of the left main sealing portion 80, and is less likely to break the left sub-sealing mechanism 78 than the left main sealing mechanism 77. Furthermore, the rigidity of the right sub-sealing portion 107 is set to be stronger than the rigidity of the right main sealing portion 100 so that the right sub-sealing mechanism 98 is more difficult to break than the right main sealing mechanism 97. ing. Specifically, in the left-side sealing mechanism 45L located on the upstream side in the disengagement direction C when viewed from the center portion of the substrate box 34, as shown in FIG. The left main sealing bracket 84b that supports the body 84 is shaped so that the vertical width gradually decreases from the left main sealing body 84 side toward the first case member 41 side, and the back surface (left side) of the left main sealing bracket 84b One support rib is erected on the surface facing the main sealing receiving portion 83 side. On the other hand, the vertical width of the left subsealing bracket 91b that supports the left subsealing body 91 in the left subsealing portion 87 is uniform from the left subsealing body 91 side to the first case member 41 side. In addition, the width is set to be wider than the vertical width of the left main sealing bracket 84b. Further, three support ribs are erected on the back surface of the left main sealing bracket 84b (the surface facing the left main sealing receiving portion 83). By providing such a configuration, the cross-sectional area of the left sub-sealing bracket 91b is made larger than the cross-sectional area of the left main-sealing bracket 84b, and the left sub-sealing bracket 91b is broken more than the left main-sealing bracket 84b. The rigidity of the left sub sealing part 87 is set to be stronger than the rigidity of the left main sealing part 80. As a result, the left-side sealing mechanism 45L is configured such that the left-side sub-sealing mechanism 78 is less likely to be destroyed than the left-side main sealing mechanism 77, in other words, the first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are closed.

By providing such a configuration, the right sub-sealing receiving bracket 110a is made wider than the right main sealing receiving bracket 103a so that the cross-sectional area of the right sub-sealing receiving bracket 110a is larger than that of the right main sealing receiving bracket 103a. The right sub-sealing portion 107 is set to have a rigidity stronger than that of the right main sealing portion 100. As a result, the right sealing mechanism 45R has a configuration that is less likely to destroy the right sub sealing mechanism 98 than the right main sealing mechanism 97. In other words, the first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are closed. The structure is set so that the function of sealing is not easily lost and the opening of the substrate box 34 is hardly allowed.

  In order to assemble the game control device 32 having the above-described configuration, first, the control board 35 is fixed to the inside of the second case member 42 so that the wiring connector 35b faces the connector opening 47. In this state, the second case member 42 is set so that the control board 35 and the inside of the first case member 41 face each other. When the posture of the second case member 42 is set, as shown in FIG. 6A, the second case member 42 is moved along the overlapping direction A to overlap the first case member 41 and engaged. The piece 51 is passed through the fitting / removal portion 52. Further, the fastening receiving portion 64 is passed through the passage opening 68 and enters the moving space portion 69, and the lower portion of the second case member 42 is brought into contact with (or placed on) the upper surface of the protruding portion 48. Then, the second case member 42 is slid in the engagement direction B and the engagement piece 51 is engaged with the engagement groove portion 50 so that the first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are engaged (closed state). ). Then, the board box 34 slides the fastening receiving part 64 in the engagement space B in the movement space part 69 and overlaps with the insertion hole 65 (a position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 6B). It moves and connects the insertion hole 65 and the screwing hole 64a. Further, the first sticking portion 57 and the second sticking portion 59 are connected in a state where both left and right edges are aligned, and the left main sealing body 84, the left main sealing receiving portion 83, and the left sub sealing body 91 are connected. And the left sub-sealing receiving portion 90, the right main sealing body 104 and the right main sealing receiving portion 103, and the right sub-sealing body 111 and the right sub-sealing receiving portion 110 are superposed.

  If the first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are engaged and closed, the fastening member 66 is inserted into the insertion hole 65 and the fastening receiving portion 64 before the electronic tag seal 36 is attached. The first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are locked by being fastened (specifically, screwed into the screw holes 64a). In addition, the left main sealing body 84 and the left main sealing receiving portion 83 are fixed by the left main sealing tool 81, and the right main sealing body 104 and the right main sealing receiving section 103 are connected to the right main sealing tool. The first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are sealed in a closed state. Further, the left main sealing cover 82 is closed by welding or the like to the left main sealing insertion port 84a to cover the head of the left main sealing tool 81 in the left main sealing body 84, while the right main sealing The right main sealing cover 102 is closed by welding or the like to the stop insertion port 104 a to cover the head of the right main sealing tool 101 in the right main sealing body 104. Note that the left sub-sealing tool 88 is inserted into the left sub-sealing body 91 from the left sub-sealing insertion port 91a, but the front end of the left sub-sealing tool 88 does not reach the left sub-sealing receiving portion 90. The left subsealing body 91 and the left side subsealing receiving portion 90 are not firmly fixed in a state of staying in the left subsealing body 91 (temporarily fixed state). Further, the right subsealing member 108 is inserted into the right subsealing body 111 from the right subsealing insertion port 111a, but the tip of the right subsealing tool 108 does not reach the right subsealing receiving portion 110. The right sub-sealing body 111 and the right side sub-sealing receiving portion 110 are not fixed to each other in a state of staying in the right sub-sealing body 111 (temporarily fixed state).

  Then, the electronic tag seal 36 is attached so that the edge of the electronic tag seal 36 is along the edge of the attaching part 46. Then, the electronic tag seal 36 is bent at the lower part of the electronic tag seal 36 and attached to the lower part of the first attaching part 57. As shown in FIG. 8A, the insertion hole 65 and the fastening member are formed by the base sheet 71. 66, covering the passage opening 68. Further, the antenna unit 74 is set in a posture inclined upward toward the engagement direction B, the extending direction of the antenna unit 74 intersects the engagement direction B and the disengagement direction C, and the first The location located in the vicinity of the chip part 73 in the antenna part 74 is made to intersect the boundary BL between the sticking part 57 and the second sticking part 59. If the electronic tag seal 36 is attached to the attaching part 46, the protective cover 37 is brought close to the attaching part 46, the cover attaching part 37b is fitted to the cover attaching receiving part 61, and the cover engaging piece 37c is attached to the cover. In this state, the cover mounting portion 37b and the cover mounting receiving portion 61 are fastened by a cover fastening tool 37a, the protective cover 37 is attached, and the electronic tag seal 36 is covered. If the protective cover 37 is attached to the sticking portion 46 and the game control device 32 is assembled, the game control device 32 is set in a posture in which the first case member 41 faces the mounting base 30, and in this state, the mounting base 30. Attach to. At this time, since the protective cover 37 is attached to the sticking portion 46, it is possible to prevent inconvenience that the electronic tag seal 36 is carelessly damaged and the identification information cannot be transmitted.

  Further, the left main sealing mechanism 77 and the right main sealing mechanism 97 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the substrate box 34 in a state straddling the boundary between the first case member 41 and the second case member 42, respectively. Since the RFID tag seal 36 is pasted between one end and the other end of the substrate box 34 in the longitudinal direction so as to straddle the boundary between the first case member 41 and the second case member 42, the substrate box 34 is bent when the substrate box 34 is bent. The inconvenience that a gap is formed between the first case member 41 and the second case member 42, and the inconvenience that an illegal member enters through the gap and an illegal act on the control board 35 is executed can be prevented. Further, since the left sealing mechanism 45L is fixed at a position located below the substrate box 34, and the right sealing mechanism 45R is fixed at a position positioned above the substrate box 34, the substrate box 34 is fixed. Is difficult to deform even when subjected to torsional load.

  In the game control device 32 assembled in this way, if the board box 34 is illegally opened without removing the electronic tag seal 36, the following occurs. First, the game control device 32 is removed from the mounting base 30, and the left main sealing bracket 84b of the left main sealing portion 80 and the right main sealing receiving bracket 103a of the right main sealing portion 100 are cut with a tool (for example, a nipper). The left main sealing mechanism 77 and the right main sealing mechanism 97 are destroyed, the second case member 42 is separated from the left main sealing mechanism 77 in the disengagement direction C, and the right main sealing mechanism 97 is the first. It is allowed to leave the case member 41 in the disengagement direction C. Further, the protective cover 37 is removed, and the head of the fixing member 66 is exposed by cutting off the portion of the electronic tag seal 36 attached to the attaching portion 46 that covers the fixing member 66. The fastening member 66 is removed. If the movement of the second case member 42 in the disengagement direction C is permitted in this way, the second case member 42 is moved in the disengagement direction C and further moved in the separation direction D. Then, the attachment receiving part 64 that has moved through the moving space 69 breaks through the electronic tag seal 36 and passes through the passage opening 68, and the portion of the electronic tag seal 36 that covers the passage opening 68 is broken uncleanly. As described above, in order to separate the first case member 41 and the second case member 42, a part of the electronic tag seal 36 is broken to remove the fastening member 66, and further, the fastening receiving part 64 is attached to the electronic tag seal 36. Of these, a portion different from the portion where the fastening member 66 is exposed is broken and dirty and passes through the passage opening 68. Therefore, if the electronic tag seal 36 is visually checked to see if it is torn, the fraudster has separated the first case member 41 and the second case member 42, or the first case member 41 and the second case member It can be easily grasped that the separation from the case member 42 is attempted.

  Further, by removing the fastening member 66 and sliding the second case member 42 in the disengagement direction C in a state where the left main sealing mechanism 77 and the right main sealing mechanism 97 are destroyed, the game control device 32 The electronic tag seal 36 is broken along the boundary BL, and the antenna portion 74 located on the first sticking portion 57 side with respect to the chip portion 73 is cut to break the electronic tag 72. Therefore, the transmission function (specifically, the function of transmitting identification information) of the electronic tag seal 36 can be invalidated. Further, based on the fact that the identification information is not transmitted, it is possible to grasp that the board box 34 has been illegally opened. Further, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the transmission function of the electronic tag seal 36 is reused after an illegal act is performed.

  If there is a possibility that an illegal act has been performed on the game control device 32, the fastening member 66 is removed by a regular operation (operation not involving an illegal activity) on the police or the game hall side in charge. At the same time, the left main sealing mechanism 77 and the right main sealing mechanism 97 are destroyed and the board box 34 is opened, and whether or not unauthorized parts are mounted on the control board 35 is visually checked. As a result of this check, if no abnormality is recognized in the game control device 32, only until a new game control device 32 for replacement can be prepared (for example, until it arrives at the game hall from the manufacturer) The checked game control device 32 is reassembled and temporarily used with the electronic tag seal 36 broken.

  The reassembly of the game control device 32 will be described. First, when the control board 35 is detached from the second case member 42, the control board 35 is fixed to the inside of the second case member 42 and the wiring connector 35b is attached. In this state, the second case member 42 is set in a posture in which the control board 35 and the inner side of the first case member 41 face each other. When the posture of the second case member 42 is set, as shown in FIG. 6A, the second case member 42 is moved along the overlapping direction A to overlap the first case member 41 and engaged. The piece 51 is passed through the fitting / removal portion 52. Further, the fastening receiving portion 64 is passed through the passage opening 68 and enters the moving space portion 69, and the lower portion of the second case member 42 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the protruding portion 48. Then, the second case member 42 is slid in the engagement direction B and the engagement piece 51 is engaged with the engagement groove portion 50 so that the first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are engaged (closed state). ). Then, the board box 34 slides the fastening receiving part 64 in the engagement space B in the movement space part 69 and overlaps with the insertion hole 65 (a position indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 6B). It moves and connects the insertion hole 65 and the screwing hole 64a. Furthermore, the left side subsealing body 91 and the left side subsealing receiving part 90, the right side subsealing body 111 and the right side subsealing receiving part 110 are respectively superposed, and the left side main sealing body 84 and the left side main sealing receiving part 83 are superposed. The left main sealing mechanism 77 in a state where the right main sealing member 104 and the right main sealing receiving portion 103 are fixed together is brought close to the side portion of the second case member 42. The stop mechanism 97 is moved closer to the side portion of the first case member 41.

  When the first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are engaged and closed, the fixing member 66 is inserted into the insertion hole 65 and fixed to the fixing receiving portion 64 (specifically, to the screwing hole 64a). The first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are locked with each other. In addition, the left side subsealing body 88 temporarily fixed to the left side subsealing body 91 is sufficiently tightened to fix the left side subsealing body 91 and the left side subsealing receiving portion 90 together, and the right side subsealing body 90 is preliminarily secured. The right side subsealing tool 108 that has been temporarily fixed to the sealing body 111 is sufficiently tightened so that the right side subsealing body 111 and the right side subsealing receiving portion 110 are fixed, and the first case member 41 and the second case The case member 42 is resealed in a closed state. In this way, the substrate box 34 and the control board 35 are temporarily used after the left main sealing mechanism 77 and the right main sealing mechanism 97 are destroyed and replaced with new ones (for example, the board box 34 and the control board 35 are abnormal). Even if it is temporarily used after confirming that there is no substrate, the substrate box 34 can be sealed using the left sub-sealing mechanism 78 and the right sub-sealing mechanism 98. Further, in the left sealing mechanism 45L, a portion positioned on the upper side of the substrate box 34 is fixed, and in the right sealing mechanism 45R, a portion positioned on the lower side of the substrate box 34 is fixed, so that the substrate box 34 is fixed. Is difficult to deform even when subjected to torsional load. Then, if the first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are reattached and resealed by the left side subsealing mechanism 78 and the right side subsealing mechanism 98, the game control device 32 is provided. Is set to a posture in which the first case member 41 is opposed to the mounting base 30 and is mounted on the mounting base 30 in this state.

  In addition, the temporarily used game control device 32 does not open the re-sealed board box 34 (without rechecking the control board 35) after the temporary use is finished. The control device 32 is replaced. Here, the left sub-sealing mechanism 78 is configured to be more difficult to destroy than the left main sealing mechanism 77, and the right sub-sealing mechanism 98 is configured to be more difficult to destroy than the right main sealing mechanism 97. In the board box 34 that is scheduled to be removed and replaced from the game board 5 (pachinko gaming machine 1), in other words, in the board box 34 that does not need to be opened after the end of temporary use, the left side sub-sealing mechanism 78 and the right side sub-sealing mechanism 98. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the disadvantage that the security for the control board 35 is unnecessarily weakened. Furthermore, the rigidity of the left sub-sealing portion 87 is set to be stronger than the rigidity of the left main sealing portion 80 so that the left sub-sealing mechanism 78 is set to be less easily broken than the left main sealing mechanism 77, and the right side The rigidity of the sub sealing part 107 is set to be stronger than the rigidity of the right main sealing part 100, and the right sub sealing mechanism 98 is set to be more difficult to destroy than the right main sealing mechanism 97. A configuration in which the mechanism 78 and the right side sub-sealing mechanism 98 need not be easily destroyed can be easily realized.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although the sealing mechanism 45 had only the function to seal in the state which closed the 1st case member 41 and the 2nd case member 42, this invention is not limited to this. For example, the game control device 32 and the mounting base 30 in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 13 are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, but the left main sealing mechanism 77 has a part of the mounting base 30. Are different in that they can be engaged. More specifically, the left main sealing mechanism 77 of the substrate box 34 in the second embodiment has the left main sealing body 84 and the left main sealing in a state where the first case member 41 and the second case member 42 are closed. An engagement space portion 115 is formed between the left main sealing body 84 and the left main sealing receiving portion 83 by separating the stop receiving portion 83. In addition, a mounting protrusion 117 is provided on the side of the mounting base 30 located on the left sealing mechanism 45L side so as to protrude toward the rear of the game board 5, and the game control device 32 side of the mounting protrusion 117. A positioning contact portion 118 that can be engaged with a corner portion of the first case member 41 located on the left sealing mechanism 45L side is provided on the right side in FIG. The game control device 32 can be positioned on the mounting base 30 by engaging the first case member 41 with the portion 118. Then, the mounting protrusion 117 is provided with a tongue-shaped mounting engagement portion 119 that can be engaged with the engagement space portion 115 toward the left sealing mechanism 45L side (game control device 32 side) (in other words, in other words). The mounting engagement portion 119 is provided with an engagement insertion hole 119a through which the left main sealing tool 81 can be inserted.

  In order to mount the game control device 32 on the mounting base 30 with the engagement space 115 and the mounting engagement portion 119 having such a configuration, first, the game control device 32 is assembled to the assembly procedure and basics in the first embodiment. Specifically, the assembly is performed in the same procedure, but the operation of fixing the left main sealing body 84 and the left main sealing receiving portion 83 by the left main sealing tool 81 is not performed. If the game control device 32 is assembled in a state in which the left main sealing body 84 and the left main seal receiving portion 83 are not fixed, the game control device 32 is set in a posture in which the first case member 41 faces the mounting base 30. In this state, the first case member 41 is brought into contact with the mounting base 30, and the mounting engaging portion 119 and the engaging space portion 115 are in the engaging direction B (in other words, the extending direction of the mounting engaging portion 119). (See FIG. 13A). Further, the game control device 32 is slid along the engagement direction B, the first case member 41 is brought into contact with the positioning contact portion 118 to position the game control device 32, and the mounting engagement portion 119 is moved into the engagement space. The game control device 32 and the mounting base 30 are fastened with a fastening tool (not shown) such as a screw. Then, with the mounting engagement portion 119 engaged with the engagement space portion 115, the left main seal 81 is inserted into the left main seal insertion port 84a, and the left main seal 84 and the left main seal are inserted. The receiving portion 83 is fixed by the left main sealing tool 81 and closed by welding the left main sealing cover 82 to the left main sealing insertion port 84a, etc. The head of the tool 81 is covered. Then, the left main sealing tool 81 is inserted into the engagement insertion hole 119a of the mounting engagement portion 119 in the engagement space 115, and the mounting engagement portion 119 is connected to the left main sealing portion 80 (the left main sealing body 84). And the left main sealing receiving portion 83). Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to remove the board box 34 from the mounting base 30, and to prevent unauthorized opening of the board box 34, and thus illegal actions on the control board 35. In order to remove the game control device 32 from the mounting base 30 in regular work (work without fraud) for performing fraud check work, etc., the mounting engagement part 119 is connected to the base of the mounting protrusion 117 side. Then, the game control device 32 may be separated from the mounting base 30 by removing the fastener and then cutting the game control device 32 with a tool (for example, a nipper).

  By the way, in the said embodiment, although the left side subsealing mechanism 78 and the right side subsealing mechanism 98 which do not need to destroy after completion | finish of temporary use of the game control apparatus 32 were provided in the state which protrudes from the side part of the board | substrate box 34, it provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The point is that the left side sub-sealing mechanism 78 is less likely to be destroyed than the left side main sealing mechanism 77 and the right side sub-sealing mechanism 98 is less likely to be destroyed than the right side main sealing mechanism 97. It may be a structure.
