Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

Pachinko gaming machines and gaming machines such as slot machines, CPU for executing control processing relating to a game, ROM to control program is stored, control of various electronic components such as a RAM for temporarily storing the seed data has been implemented A substrate is provided. Then, according to a stored control program in ROM, Yu Technical equipment that is equipped in the game machine is controlled by CPU, a series of game is executed.

In this type of gaming machine, the control board is changed to an illegal control board that is different from the regular one, or the ROM (the chip if the ROM is integrated into one chip with the CPU) is replaced with an illegal one. Or other illegal activities may occur .

In order to deal with such fraud, for example, the control board is housed in a transparent board box so that the state of the control board can be easily seen from the outside. The board box is sealed (so-called caulking structure). When opening the board box, leave a history of opening due to breakage, etc., or it is impossible to re-apply so as to straddle the multiple case bodies that make up the board box and leave a trace when it is peeled off Fraud countermeasures such as sticking a sticker are employed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). These fraud countermeasures assist the verification work when visually confirming the fact that the board box has been opened or the control board has been replaced. We can expect effect to make.

Each of the above fraud countermeasures is to visually check the control board and board box, and since the control board is hidden behind the game machine and inside the housing, daily confirmation work is complicated. . In addition, it is a difficult task to find a cleverly restored restoration that is difficult to visually confirm the sealed location. In particular, such a problem tends to be prominent in a large game arcade where a large number of gaming machines are installed .

  On the other hand, as a new fraud countermeasure other than the fraud countermeasure by visual confirmation, for example, an electronic tag including an IC chip portion and an antenna portion in which identification information such as a unique ID is stored in a control board or a board box containing the control board The structure which attached A is disclosed (for example, refer to patent documents 2).

The release sheet 304 is peeled off when the seal seal 300 is attached to the substrate box 273.

  The base sheet 301 is formed of a flexible resin film such as a polyester film, has moderate brittleness, and is reactive to solvents and heat. Specifically, the base sheet 301 changes color when toluene or the like having solubility with respect to the adhesive forming the adhesive layer 302 is applied to the base sheet 301. The base sheet 301 also changes color when heat equal to or higher than the temperature at which the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer decreases (for example, 50 ° C.). As a result, when the solvent is applied or heat is applied to remove the sealing seal 300 from the adhesive plate portions 281 and 282 of the substrate box 273, the base sheet 301 is discolored, and the trace of the fraud Can leave.

The memory area is configured by a non-volatile memory (ROM) in which data cannot be rewritten, and its storage capacity is, for example, 128 bits. ID information as identification information is stored in the memory area. Specifically, a manufacturer name (or a manufacturer unique number assigned to each manufacturer) and an ID number unique to the gaming machine are stored. Since data cannot be rewritten in the memory area of the IC chip 305, inconveniences such as unauthorized alteration of ID information can be suppressed.

  The antenna portion 306 is formed of a thin metal layer such as aluminum, and the thickness thereof is thinner than the thickness of the IC chip 305. The antenna unit 306 is manufactured as an antenna pattern so that the resonance frequency is a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz.

  The ID information of the IC chip 305 is configured to be called by the control unit and be transmitted as a radio wave from the antenna unit 306. The reader unit receives the radio wave transmitted from the antenna unit 306 and receives the ID information. Can be read.

  More specifically, when the reader device transmits a ringing wave having the resonance frequency from the reader device, an induction electromagnetic field is formed by the ringing wave. When the antenna unit 306 is included in the range where the induction electromagnetic field is formed, an electromotive force is generated in the antenna unit 306 by electromagnetic induction. The IC chip 305 calls the ID information stored in the memory area using this electromotive force as a power source, and transmits a response wave including the ID information from the antenna unit 306. And ID information is read by receiving this response wave in a reader apparatus.

  As shown in FIG. 23B, the IC tag 303 (antenna unit 306) is disposed obliquely from one corner side to the diagonal corner side of the base sheet 301. In this case, the long antenna portion 306 has its longitudinal direction intersecting all the side directions of the base sheet 301. As the seal seal 300 is affixed across both the affixing plate portions 281 and 282, the antenna portion 306 also straddles both the affixing plate portions 281 and 282. In this case, a part of the antenna unit 306 faces the side of the main controller 271 (side of the pachinko machine 10). The IC tag 303 is arranged so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the center of the rectangular base sheet 301.

  The sealing seal 300 is formed with a large number of antenna cuts 307 arranged at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 306. The antenna cut 307 is a straight line extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 306, and penetrates from the surface side of the base sheet 301 to the back side of the adhesive layer 302 (see FIG. 23 ( In a), the antenna cut 307 is omitted.

  The direction in which the antenna cut 307 extends is a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna unit 306, and thus intersects with all the side directions of the base sheet 301. Further, the antenna cut 307 is slightly hung on the antenna unit 306. In this case, since the antenna unit 306 is not divided by the antenna cut 307, no adverse effect is caused on the output of the ID information. Further, the antenna notch 307 located on one side of the antenna unit 306 and the antenna notch 307 located on the other side of the antenna unit 306 are arranged so that the antenna notch 307 is not arranged in a straight line across the antenna unit 306. Are shifted in the longitudinal direction.

  Corner cuts 308 are formed at the four corners of the seal seal 300 so as to penetrate from the surface side of the base sheet 301 to the back side of the adhesive layer 302. The corner-side cut 308 is formed in an L shape so as to follow the corner angle of the seal seal 300. Further, as shown in FIG. 24, a large number of outer edge notches 309 are formed on the outer edge of the seal seal 300 from the outer end portion toward the inner side. These outer edge notches 309 are formed in an acute V shape so as to open from the inside toward the outside, and are formed at equal intervals along the outer periphery of the seal seal 300.

  When the seal seal 300 is to be peeled off from the sticking plate portions 281 and 282, there are assumed a case where the seal seal 300 is peeled from a corner and a case where the seal seal 300 is peeled in a direction along one side of the seal seal 300. In the former case, the stress associated with the peeling force concentrates on the corner-side cut 308 and the outer-edge cut 309, so that the seal seal 300 is easily broken. On the other hand, in the latter case, the peeling direction is a direction intersecting with the extending direction of the antenna unit 306. Therefore, the stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates on the end portion of the antenna cut 307, whereby the base sheet 301 is broken via the antenna cut 307, and the antenna portion 306 is divided. When the antenna unit 306 is divided, radio waves including ID information are not transmitted, so that the reader apparatus cannot read the ID information. Therefore, if an illegal act is performed on the main control board 278, it can be easily detected.

  Next, the positional relationship between the antenna portion 306 of the seal seal 300 and the screws 283 and 284 for fastening the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 25 and the like, both end portions 306a and 306b of the antenna portion 306 straddle the removal-side openings 289 and 290 in the screw holes 285 and 286 on the first attaching surface 281a and the second attaching surface 282a. Has been placed. Specifically, the dimension of the antenna portion 306 in the short direction is smaller than the hole diameter of the openings 289 and 290, and the antenna portion 306 has both ends 306 a and 306 b sandwiching the removal side openings 289 and 290. It arrange | positions so that the peripheral part of opening 289,290 may be spanned. By arranging the antenna portion 306 in this way, both end portions 306a and 306b of the antenna portion 306 are opposed to the head portions 283a and 284a of the corresponding screws 283 and 284, respectively.

  In this configuration, as described above, the top positions of the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 are midway positions in the axial direction of the screw holes 285 and 286, respectively. In other words, the top positions of the heads 283 a and 284 a are positions that enter the screw holes 285 and 286 with respect to the seal seal 300. Therefore, the antenna unit 306 and the screws 283 and 284 are separated as shown in FIG. In addition, no interposition member is provided between the antenna portion 306 and the screws 283 and 284. That is, a space S is provided between the antenna unit 306 and the screws 283 and 284. Thereby, it is prevented that the antenna part 306 contacts each screw 283,284. In particular, as described above, the antenna portion 306 is arranged so as to bridge the peripheral edge portions of the openings 289 and 290 with the removal side openings 289 and 290 interposed therebetween, so that the antenna portion 306 faces the screw holes 285 and 286. It becomes difficult to bend, and in the configuration in which the antenna portion 306 and the head portions 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 are opposed to each other, both can be reliably separated. For example, when the antenna unit 306 contacts each of the screws 283 and 284, the set resonance frequency (2.45 GHz in this embodiment) changes, and the ID information stored in the IC chip 305 is changed by the reader device. Although there is a possibility of being unable to read, according to the configuration in the present embodiment, such inconvenience can be prevented.

  As described above, the encircling portion C is formed in each of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282, and the peripheral edge of the seal seal 300 is close to the encircling portion C. Accordingly, when the sealing seal 300 is attached, the both ends 306a and 306b of the antenna portion 306 are attached to the removal side openings 289, by sticking so that the sealing seal 300 does not protrude from the region surrounded by the surrounding portion C. 290 and straddle the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24, the region surrounded by the encircling portion C is wider than the area of the seal seal 300. As a result, when the seal sticker 300 is attached, a predetermined clearance is created at the attachment position, and the workability of the attachment work is improved. In this case, the clearance of the attaching position is formed in a range where both end portions 306a and 306b of the antenna portion 306 straddle the removal side openings 289 and 290 and face the head portions 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284. Has been. Further, as described above, since the IC tag 303 is arranged so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the center of the rectangular base sheet 301, both ends of the antenna portion 306 are provided even if the seal seal 300 is attached upside down. The parts 306a and 306b straddle the removal side openings 289 and 290, and face the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284, respectively.

  Next, the configuration of the second control board unit 202 will be described with reference to FIGS. 26 is a front view of the second control board unit 202, FIG. 27 is a perspective view of the unit 202, and FIG. 28 is an exploded perspective view of the unit 202.

  The second control board unit 202 has a horizontally long mounting base 325, and a payout control device 311, a power supply and launch control device 313 are mounted on the mounting base 325.

  The payout control device 311 includes a payout control board that controls the payout of prize balls and rental balls, and the payout control board is accommodated in a board box 315. The substrate box 315 includes a box base 317 and a box cover 318. The box base 317 and the box cover 318 are formed of a synthetic resin having transparency such as a polycarbonate resin. The box base 317 and the box cover 318 are provided with a sealing unit 319 as sealing means. Further, a seal seal 320 is attached so as to straddle the box base 317 and the box cover 318.

  An IC tag 320a having an IC chip 320b and an antenna portion 320c is embedded in the seal sticker 320 as in the case of the seal sticker 320 attached to the main controller 271 (see FIG. 27). The ID information stored in the IC chip 320b is different from the ID information stored in the IC chip 305 of the main controller 271. Further, the pattern of the antenna unit 320 c is different from the pattern of the antenna unit 306 of the main control device 271, and the resonance frequency of the antenna unit 320 c is different from the resonance frequency of the antenna unit 306 of the main control device 271. That is, while the resonance frequency of the antenna unit 306 of the main control device 271 is the first frequency (eg, 2.45 GHz), the resonance frequency of the antenna unit 320c of the payout control device 311 is different from the first frequency. There are two frequencies (for example, 953 MHz). The ID information of the IC tag 320a is read by the reader device in the same manner as described for the IC tag 303 of the main controller 271.

  Further, as described above, as the seal seal 320 is pasted so as to straddle the box base 317 and the box cover 318, the antenna part 320c of the IC tag 320a also connects the box base 317 and the box cover 318 to each other. Straddling. In this case, a part of the antenna unit 320c faces the side of the payout control device 311 (side of the pachinko machine 10).

  The power supply and launch control device 313 includes a power supply and launch control board housed in a board box 316. The board generates and outputs predetermined power required by various control devices and the like, and a game ball played by a player. Control of the launch of the game ball accompanying the operation of the firing handle 18 is performed. The power supply and launch control device 313 is provided with a RAM erase switch 323. This pachinko machine 10 has a function to store and store various data. Even if a power failure occurs, the pachinko machine 10 retains the state at the time of the power failure, and returns to the state at the time of the power failure when returning from the power failure (power recovery). You can return. Therefore, for example, when the power is turned off in the normal procedure, as in the case of the game hall being closed, the state before the turn-off is stored and held. However, when the power is turned on while pressing the RAM erase switch 323, the RAM data is initialized. It is like that.

  The mounting base 325 is made of, for example, a colorless and transparent resin molded product. The horizontal dimension of the mounting base 325 is slightly smaller than the horizontal dimension of the main body frame 12, and one end in the horizontal direction of the mounting base 325 is close to the end of the main body frame 12 on the rotating tip side. The other end in the left-right direction is close to the end of the main body frame 12 on the rotation base end side. The mounting base 325 is integrally formed with an upstanding wall 330 that constitutes the peripheral surface of the mounting base 325. When the second control board unit 202 is mounted on the back surface of the main body frame 12, the upright wall 330 is the main body frame. 12 is in a state of standing up behind the pachinko machine 10 with respect to the back surface. Since the standing wall 330 is formed, the surface of the mounting base 325 is located at a position spaced rearward from the back surface of the main body frame 12. A flat substrate mounting surface 326 is provided on the surface of the mounting base 325.

  A power supply and launch control device 313 is mounted on the substrate mounting surface 326 and is fixed by screws or the like. A substantially flat pedestal plate 327 is mounted on the substrate box 316 of the power supply and launch control device 313, and a payout control device 311 is mounted on the pedestal plate 327 and fixed with screws or the like. That is, the payout control device 311 is on the rear side of the pachinko machine 10 with respect to the power supply and launch control device 313, and the payout control device 311 is at the rearmost part in the second control board unit 202, and constitutes the back part of the pachinko machine 10. doing. Since the payout control device 311 is mounted in this way, the payout control device 311 is located at a position spaced rearward from the back surface of the main body frame 12, and the above-described locking device base frame 247 and interlocking hook It is behind the pachinko machine 10 than 248. Further, the pedestal plate 327 is disposed so as to be biased toward the rotation front end side of the main body frame 12, and the payout control device 311 has one end portion in the left-right direction close to the end portion of the main body frame 12 on the rotation front end side. In position.

  The mounting base 325 is provided with a pair of upper and lower latch pins 328 at the right end when viewed from the rear of the pachinko machine 10, and the second control board unit is inserted by inserting the latch pins 328 into the bearing portion 237 from above. 202 is cantilevered so as to be rotatable with respect to the main body frame 12. A pair of upper and lower nai latches 329 are provided as fasteners at the left end of the mounting base 325, and the second control board unit 202 is fixed to the main body frame 12 by fitting the nai latch 329 into the fastening hole 239. The bearing portion 237 and the latch pin 328 correspond to the support shaft portion M4, and the fastened hole 239 and the ny latch 329 correspond to the fastening portion M5, respectively.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10, as described above, the IC tag 303 is provided in the main controller 271 (hereinafter also referred to as the main IC tag 303), and the IC tag 320a is also provided in the payout controller 311. Provided (hereinafter also referred to as payout-side IC tag 320a). The ID information of the IC tags 303 and 320a is read by the reader device when the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 are checked for fraud.

  In detail, the worker who reads the ID information uses the reader device to identify the ID from each main IC tag 303 and each payout IC tag 320a of a large number of pachinko machines 10 installed in the game hall. Read information. In this case, if the ID information cannot be read, it means that the target IC tag for which the ID information cannot be read has been destroyed, so that the worker who performs the confirmation work knows that the cheating has been performed. be able to.

  Each ID information read by the reader device is output to an ID information management device such as a hall computer. At this time, the pachinko machine 10 from which each ID information is read can be specified in the management device, for example, the machine number of each pachinko machine 10 at the game hall is also output. The management device stores a database of each ID information, and each ID information is stored in the database in association with each IC tag 303, 320a of each pachinko machine 10. Then, the management device compares the ID information input from the reader device with the ID information in the database, and determines whether or not the ID information read by the reader device is legitimate ID information. As a result, if the ID information is not legitimate, it means that the IC tag that is the output source of the ID information has been replaced with an illegal IC tag, and therefore an error notification that an illegal act has been performed in the management device. Is executed. The worker who performs the confirmation work can confirm that the fraud has been performed by confirming the error notification.

  The confirmation operation as described above is performed on a large number of pachinko machines 10 before, for example, opening a game hall or after closing. Also, it is carried out for a large number of pachinko machines 10 that have been delivered at the time of delivery of the pachinko machines 10 at the game hall. In this case, in order to improve the workability of the confirmation work, it is necessary to improve the workability of the ID information reading work in each pachinko machine 10, and in this pachinko machine 10, the work of reading the ID information is performed. Improvements are being made.

  Therefore, a configuration relating to improvement in workability of reading work will be described below. FIG. 29 is a rear view of the pachinko machine 10 showing the periphery of the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a in an enlarged manner, and FIG. 30 is a diagram for explaining the configuration around the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a. FIG. 31 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a state of reading ID information.

  As shown in FIG. 29 and the like, the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 constitute the back surface portion of the pachinko machine 10, and are exposed at the back surface portion. Accordingly, the seal seal 300 (hereinafter also referred to as the main side seal seal 300) to which the main IC tag 303 is attached and the seal seal 320 to which the payout side IC tag 320a is attached (hereinafter also referred to as the payout side seal seal 320). Is exposed at the back of the pachinko machine 10. As described above, the main side seal 300 has the base sheet 301 formed of a flexible resin film, and the adhesive layer 302 is formed on the back surface of the base sheet 301. The main IC tag 303 is embedded in the adhesive layer 302, and the main IC tag 303 is covered with the base sheet 301 and the adhesive layer 302. This configuration is the same for the payout side seal seal 320 and the payout side IC tag 320a.

  The base sheet (base sheet 301) and the adhesive layer (adhesive layer 302) are made of resin and do not block radio waves. That is, it is formed of a radio wave non-blocking material. Further, as described above, the seal seals 300 and 320 covering the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a are exposed on the back surface of the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, it can be said that the main-side IC tag 303 and the payout-side IC tag 320a are arranged in a non-blocking area that is not covered with a member that blocks radio waves on the back surface of the pachinko machine 10.

  The main IC tag 303 is attached to the left end of the main controller 271. Further, the left end portion of the main control device 271 is close to the end portion of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side. Specifically, in the main controller 271, the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 that constitute one side portion of the board box 273 and to which the main side IC tag 303 is attached are along the end portion of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side. At the position, the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 are mounted so as to be substantially parallel to the end portion of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side. Therefore, the main side IC tag 303 is arranged at a position close to the end of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side.

  Further, as described above, the main control device 271 is located at a position rearwardly separated from the back surface of the game board 30 and is located behind the base frame 247 and the interlocking rod 248 of the locking device described above. Therefore, when the main body frame 12 is opened from the outer frame 11, the main side sealing seal 300 is exposed and the main side IC tag 303 blocks radio waves when viewed from the side of the rotation front end side of the main body frame 12. It is not obstructed by the member to do.

  The payout-side IC tag 320a is attached to the left end of the payout control device 311. Further, the left end portion of the payout control device 311 is close to the end portion of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side. Specifically, the payout control device 311 is configured such that one side portion of the board box 315 to which the payout-side IC tag 320a is attached is positioned along the end of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side. It is mounted so as to be substantially parallel to the end portion on the rotation tip side. Accordingly, the payout-side IC tag 320a is disposed at a position close to the end of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side.

  Further, as described above, the payout control device 311 is located at a position rearwardly separated from the back surface of the main body frame 12, and is located behind the base frame 247 and the interlocking rod 248 of the locking device described above. Therefore, when the main body frame 12 is opened from the outer frame 11, the payout side seal sticker 320 is exposed and the payout side IC tag 320a blocks radio waves when viewed from the side of the rotating front end of the main body frame 12. It is not obstructed by the member to do.

  The main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 are juxtaposed in the vertical direction so that the payout control device 311 is on the lower side. Further, as described above, the main side IC tag 303 and the payout side IC tag 320a are disposed at positions close to the end of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side. Therefore, the main side IC tag 303 and the payout side IC tag 320a are juxtaposed vertically along the end portion at the end of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side. Further, the payout side IC tag 320a is attached to the upper end of the payout control device 311, that is, a position biased toward the main side IC tag 303 side. Accordingly, the main side IC tag 303 and the payout side IC tag 320a are in positions close to each other on the back surface of the pachinko machine 10.

  In the configuration in which the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a are located close to each other, as shown in FIG. 30, a member that blocks between the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311. Is not present. That is, no member that blocks radio waves is provided between the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a.

  Connector installation areas CS1, CS2, and CS3 are set in the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 so that no connector exists between the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a. In addition, connector installation areas CS1, CS2, and CS3 are set in the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 so that there is no connector on the rotation tip side of the main side IC tag 303 and the payout side IC tag 320a. . Furthermore, the electrical wiring connected to each connector in the connector installation areas CS1, CS2, and CS3 is routed so as not to pass through the tag aggregation area TS in which the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a are aggregated. It is turning. As a result, there is no electrical wiring between the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a, and the main IC tag 303, the payout IC tag 320a and the electric wiring are not lined up in front and back. It has become.

  As described above, the main side IC tag 303 and the payout side IC tag 320a are provided in the non-blocking region on the back surface of the pachinko machine 10 in the tag aggregation region TS at the end of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side. It has been. As a result, when the ID information is read, the main body frame 12 is released from the locked state with respect to the outer frame 11 and the main body frame 12 is rotated forward of the pachinko machine 10, so that the main IC tag 303 and the payout side The IC tag 320a can be largely pulled out in front of the pachinko machine 10. Thereby, the reader device which reads ID information can be taken to the position of each IC tag 303, 320a without difficulty.

  Further, according to this configuration, even if the main body frame 12 is slightly opened with respect to the outer frame 11 as shown in FIG. 31A, the main side IC tag 303 and the payout side IC are formed from the side of the main body frame 12. The reader device R can be brought close to the tag 320a. Then, at a position close to both IC tags 303 and 320a, a ringing wave corresponding to each resonance frequency of each IC tag 303 and 320a is transmitted from the reader device R to each IC tag. The ID information can be read from the tags 303 and 320a. Note that the reader device R has a function of transmitting a ringing wave corresponding to each resonance frequency, and the resonance frequency of the ringing wave transmitted when an operator or the like operates the operation unit provided in the reader device R. Is changed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 31B, when the main IC tag 303 is on the rotation base end side of the main body frame 12 in the main control device 271, the main body frame 12 is largely opened with respect to the outer frame 11. Unless this is done, the reader device R cannot be brought close to the main IC tag 303. Further, due to the weak radio wave transmitted from the reader device R, when reading ID information from the main IC tag 303, it is necessary to bring the reader device R close to the main IC tag 303, When reading ID information from the payout side IC tag 320a, it is necessary to bring the reader device R close to the payout side IC tag 320a. On the other hand, as described above, in the pachinko machine 10, it is not necessary to open the main body frame 12 greatly, and the reader device R is brought close to both the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a at the same time. Can do. Therefore, the workability of the ID information reading work is improved.

  Further, no member for blocking radio waves is interposed between the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a, and each IC tag 303, 320a is not covered with electrical wiring. Therefore, the main body frame 12 is rotated to the front of the pachinko machine 10 and the reader device R is brought close to both the main side IC tag 303 and the payout side IC tag 320a. The ID information can be read from 320a.

  Next, the configuration of the back pack unit 203 will be described with reference to FIGS. 32 is a front view of the back pack unit 203, and FIG. 33 is an exploded perspective view of the back pack unit 203.

  The back pack unit 203 is configured by integrating a back pack 351 and a game ball payout mechanism 352. The back pack 351 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin having transparency, and has a substantially flat base portion 353 and a protective cover portion 354 that protrudes rearward from the pachinko machine 10 and has a horizontally long substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The protective cover 354 has a shape in which the left and right side surfaces and the upper surface are closed and only the lower surface is opened, and has a size sufficient to surround at least the variable display unit 35.

  On the base portion 353 of the back pack 351, a payout mechanism portion 352 is disposed so as to bypass the protective cover portion 354. That is, a tank 355 opened upward is provided at the uppermost part of the back pack 351, and game balls supplied from island facilities of the game hall are sequentially replenished to the tank 355. Below the tank 355, for example, tank rails 356 having two rows (two rows) of spherical passages and gently inclined toward the downstream side are connected. The tank rails 356 extend in the vertical direction on the downstream side. A case rail 357 is connected. The payout device 358 is provided at the most downstream portion of the case rail 357, and the payout motor 358a is driven by the control of the payout control device 311 so that a required number of game balls are paid out appropriately. The game balls paid out from the payout device 358 are supplied to the upper plate 23 and the like through the payout passage 359 and the like.

  The payout mechanism unit 352 is provided with a backpack control board 381 that relays a payout command signal from the payout control device 311 to the payout device 358. The back pack control board 381 plays a role of taking in the main power from the outside.

  According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

  The IC tag 303 was attached to the seal seal 300 of the main control device 271, and the IC tag 320 a was attached to the seal seal 320 of the payout control device 311. Thus, by reading the ID information from the IC tags 303 and 320a, it is possible to confirm whether or not an illegal act has been performed on the main control device 271 or the payout control device 311. In particular, since the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 are control devices that are largely involved in paying out game balls, by attaching the IC tags 303 and 320a to both the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311. , Fraud against the pachinko machine 10 can be suitably suppressed.

  In such a configuration, the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 are juxtaposed, and the IC tags in the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 so that the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a are close to each other. The attachment positions of 303 and 320a were set. As a result, when reading ID information, the reader device R can be brought to a predetermined position close to both the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a. The ID information can be read from both the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a at the predetermined position. That is, it is not necessary to move the reader device R corresponding to each of the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a. Therefore, the workability of the ID information reading work is improved, and the fraud detection work using the IC tags 303 and 320a can be performed efficiently.

  A member that blocks radio waves is not interposed between the IC tags 303 and 320a that are close to each other. For example, assuming that a member that blocks radio waves is interposed between the IC tags 303 and 320a that are close to each other, the reader is placed at a predetermined position that is close to both the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a. Even if the device R is held, there is a possibility that reading of ID information from at least one of the IC tags may be impossible or difficult to read due to a member that blocks radio waves. On the other hand, since a member for blocking radio waves is not interposed between the IC tags 303 and 320a that are close to each other, the occurrence of the inconvenience is suppressed, and the effect of bringing the IC tags 303 and 320a close to each other is preferably exhibited. Is done.

  In particular, the tag aggregation region TS of the IC tags 303 and 320a in each of the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 so that the connector to which the electrical wiring is connected is not disposed between the adjacent IC tags 303 and 320a. And connector installation areas CS1, CS2, and CS3. For example, assuming that a connector is arranged between the adjacent IC tags 303 and 320a, at least a part of any of the IC tags 303 and 320a is covered with the electrical wiring connected to the connector, Even if the reader device R is held at a predetermined position close to both the side IC tag 303 and the payout side IC tag 320a, the ID information cannot be read from at least one by the electric wiring or is difficult to read. There is a risk. In this case, it is necessary to move the electric wiring during the ID information reading operation so that the IC tags 303 and 320a are not covered with the electric wiring, and the workability of the reading operation may be reduced. On the other hand, since the connector is not disposed between the IC tags 303 and 320a that are close to each other, the above-described inconvenience is suppressed, and the effect of bringing the IC tags 303 and 320a close to each other is preferably exhibited.

  The main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 are mounted on the back surface of the main body frame 12 and the game board 30, and the IC tags 303 and 320 a are gathered in a region that is not covered with a member that blocks radio waves on the back surface. Accordingly, the ID information can be read from each IC tag 303, 320a simply by rotating the main body frame 12 forward of the pachinko machine 10 and bringing the reader device R to a position close to each IC tag 303, 320a. It becomes possible. Thereby, the workability of the reading work can be improved.

  In particular, the main side IC tag 303 and the payout side IC tag 320a are juxtaposed along the end portion at the end of the main body frame 12 on the rotating front end side. Thereby, by rotating the main body frame 12 to the front of the pachinko machine 10, both the IC tags 303 and 320a can be pulled out to the front of the pachinko machine 10 as much as possible. For example, a configuration in which the IC tags 303 and 320a are juxtaposed in the left-right direction is also conceivable. End up. On the other hand, according to this configuration, both the IC tags 303 and 320a can be pulled out to the front of the pachinko machine 10 as much as possible as described above. Therefore, the reader device R can be easily taken to the position of each IC tag 303, 320a, and the workability of the reading work can be improved. Further, according to the present configuration, the reader device R can be brought to the position of each IC tag 303, 320a without the main body frame 12 being largely rotated forward of the pachinko machine 10. From the viewpoint, the workability of the reading work can be improved.

  Each of the IC tags 303 and 320a is configured to transmit a radio wave including ID information as a response wave by receiving a radio wave having a specific resonance frequency transmitted from the reader device R. Accordingly, radio waves are not always transmitted from the IC tags 303 and 320a, but radio waves are transmitted from the IC tags 303 and 320a when the ID information reading operation is performed. As a result, radio waves are prevented from being transmitted from the IC tags 303 and 320a at normal times other than when reading ID information. When radio waves are transmitted from the IC tags 303 and 320a at the time of a game or the like, this may cause noise to the main control device 271 or the payout control device 311. However, the control devices 271 and 311 may malfunction. Therefore, the occurrence of such inconvenience can be prevented.

  In this configuration, the resonance frequency of the main IC tag 303 is different from the resonance frequency of the payout IC tag 320a. As described above, in the configuration in which the main IC tag 303 and the payout IC tag 320a are integrated, the radio wave from the main IC tag 303 and the radio wave from the payout IC tag 320a are simultaneously transmitted by the reader device R. When the received ID information is mixed, there is a risk that the ID information cannot be read accurately. On the other hand, the resonance frequency of the main IC tag 303 is different from the resonance frequency of the payout IC tag 320a as described above. Simultaneous reception of response waves from the IC tags 303 and 320a by the reader device R is suppressed, and ID information can be read accurately.
