Description

  The present invention includes a main control board on which a main control circuit for determining whether a game ball passes through the starting port is determined to be a big hit or a loss, and a main control board case in which the main control board is accommodated is sealed with a seal. It relates to a sealed pachinko machine.

  FIG. 21 is an explanatory front view of a conventional pachinko machine. A conventional pachinko machine 900 includes a launch handle 901, a game board 902, a start port 903, an effect display 904, and a variable winning device 905. When a game ball launched by the player operating the launch handle 901 wins the start opening 903, a switch for detecting the game ball won in the start opening 903 is turned on, and a microcomputer (see FIG. 22 (denoted by reference numeral 701 in FIG. 22) is a big hit or lost decision (hereinafter referred to as a big hit decision).

  Then, the effect display unit 904 starts a variable display (also referred to as scroll display) of a plurality of symbols. For example, an array of symbols (hereinafter referred to as symbol rows) representing consecutive different numbers (for example, 0 to 9) is moved from the top of the screen to the bottom in the ascending order of the numbers in the three horizontal display areas on the screen. To display. Depending on the model, the screen is displayed so as to move from the right to the left of the screen. Hereinafter, the display mode of such a symbol row is referred to as symbol variation display.

  When a predetermined time elapses after the effect display 904 starts displaying the symbol, the symbol variation display stops in each display region, and the symbol corresponding to the determination result by the microcomputer 701 is displayed in each display region. Confirmed display. For example, if the lottery result is a big hit, a big hit symbol consisting of the same number such as “777” is fixedly displayed, and if the lottery result is a loss, a lost symbol such as “767” is fixedly displayed. . The fixed display is a display state in which the symbol indicating the result of the jackpot determination is fixed, and is a display state in which the symbol does not change again.

  When the effect display 904 confirms and displays the big hit symbol, a big hit occurs, and the variable winning device 905 opens the opening / closing member 906 to open the big winning opening 907. Since the large winning opening 907 has an opening area larger than that of a normal winning opening, winning becomes easy. Then, a condition that a specified number (for example, 10) of game balls wins the prize winning opening 907 or a condition that the opening time of the prize winning opening 907 reaches a prescribed time (for example, 30 seconds) is satisfied. Then, the opening / closing member 906 is closed and the special winning opening 907 is closed.

  Then, a round from the opening to closing of the special winning opening 907 is defined as one round, and a plurality of rounds (for example, a maximum of 14 rounds) are executed, during which the player can acquire a large amount of winning balls. Hereinafter, games from the first round to the final round are referred to as jackpot games. In addition, when a big hit occurs in a specific jackpot symbol, the gaming state after the big hit game based on this big hit is changed to a gaming state with a high probability of jackpot occurrence. Such a change in the probability of jackpot occurrence from a low probability to a high probability is called probability change. In the following, the big hit where the probability change occurs is called the probability change big hit, and the big hit other than the probability change big hit is called the normal big hit. In addition, a gaming state that has changed to a certain probability is called a certain probability gaming state. This probabilistic gaming state continues until the next jackpot occurs.

  FIG. 22 is an explanatory view of a main control board case provided in the conventional pachinko machine 900 shown in FIG. 21, wherein (a) is a plan view and (b) is a left side view.

The case main body 601 accommodates a main control board 700 on which a microcomputer 701 is mounted from an opening at the front. The case main body 601 and the cover 602 are fixed by a plurality of one-way screws 603 so that they cannot be opened.

  In addition, an RF tag (also referred to as an RFID tag or an IC tag) 801 is disposed at the boundary between the case main body 601 and the cover 602 so as to straddle the boundary. Further, a seal seal 800 is stuck on the RF tag 801 so as to straddle the boundary between the case main body 601 and the cover 602. The RF tag 801 stores unique identification information for identifying the pachinko machine 900 from other pachinko machines. Further, the RF tag 801 is configured such that when the cover 602 is forcibly opened, the antenna constituting the RF tag 801 is disconnected and communication is disabled. Further, the seal seal 800 is made of paper, and if it is peeled off as it is, it is torn and leaves its trace.

  When the pachinko machine 900 is installed in the pachinko hall, the identification information of the RF tag 801 is read using a portable RF tag reader, and the read identification information matches the identification information registered in the RF tag reader in advance. Check whether or not to do. At this time, if the antenna of the RF tag 801 is damaged, a reading error is notified, so that it is estimated that the cover 602 is opened and the microcomputer 701 may be replaced with an illegal one.

In addition, the effect indicator 30 ends the display of the effect image and the effect symbol at the same time as the special symbol display device 31 ends the variation display of the special symbol, and corresponds to the big hit symbol or the lost symbol that the special symbol display device 31 has determined and displayed. The effect design to be displayed is finalized.

  The normal symbol display device 33 is composed of a plurality of (for example, two as shown in FIG. 6B) LEDs, and the emitted color when each LED is lit and the background color of the LED when the LED is turned off. Constitutes a normal symbol. In addition, the state in which the normal symbol display device 33 blinks the LED is a state in which the normal symbol is variably displayed. When the variation display ends, the combination of the LEDs that are turned on and off turns on the normal symbol. Alternatively, the loss is notified. When the winning normal symbol is confirmed and displayed, the opening time of the opening / closing wing piece 27c of the ordinary electric accessory 27 becomes longer, and winning for the ordinary electric accessory 27 becomes easier. That is, the number of times that the special symbol starts variably displaying per unit time increases, and the probability that a big hit will occur increases.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 23, the normal symbol display device 33 starts to display the fluctuation of the normal symbol. When the normal symbol display device 33 variably displays the normal symbol, when the game ball passes through the gate 23, the normal symbol variation display due to the passage is held, and the number of holds is displayed as the normal symbol hold number display. Displayed by device 34. In this embodiment, the normal symbol hold number display device 34 is composed of four LEDs, and displays the hold number based on the number of lights of the LEDs. That is, in this embodiment, the number of normal symbol reservations is a maximum of four.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram of a region where a seal seal is pasted, (a) is a left side view of the main control board case before the seal seal is pasted, and (b) is a state where the seal seal is pasted. It is a left view shown. 14A and 14B are explanatory views of the fine holes, wherein FIG. 14A is a longitudinal sectional view of a portion where a seal seal is pasted in the main control board case, and FIG. A front view and (c) are partially enlarged views of the fine holes. FIG. 15A is an enlarged view of the seal seal, and FIG. 15B is an enlarged view of the seal seal in use. FIG. 16 is a longitudinal sectional view of the seal seal, and FIG. 17 is an enlarged view of the RF tag.

  As shown in FIG. 13A and FIGS. 14A and 14B, the left side surface 55d of the case main body 55 is formed with a sticking region 55d1 for sticking the seal seal 100, and FIG. As shown to a) and (b), the sticking area | region 56a1 which sticks the sealing seal | sticker 100 is formed in the left end of the surface 55a of the cover 56. As shown in FIG. The pasting areas 55d1 and 56a1 are continuous. A plurality of fine holes H are formed in the sticking region 55d1 from the surface to the inside. Also, a plurality of fine holes H are formed in the sticking region 56a1 from the surface to the inside.

  The fine hole H has a structure in which an adhesive dissolved by a solvent permeates into the inside of the adhesive forming the adhesive layer (indicated by reference numeral 100c in FIG. 16) of the seal seal 100. In this embodiment, the inner wall surface of the minute hole H is formed in an extremely thin cylindrical shape. The diameter and depth of the fine holes H are determined so that the adhesive dissolved by the solvent penetrates into the fine holes H. Further, the number of the fine holes H is determined so that the presence of the fine holes H colored by the adhesive can be recognized at a glance when the main control board case 57 is viewed from the outside. As a method for forming the fine hole H, a known processing method such as micro drilling, laser processing, or pressing can be used.

  As shown to Fig.15 (a), the seal seal | sticker 100 is formed in the rectangle, and the adhesive surface 100a is formed in the back surface. As shown in FIG. 16, the seal seal 100 is formed of a sheet-like base material 100b and an adhesive layer 100c formed on the back surface of the base material 100b. The adhesive layer 100c is formed of a colored adhesive. For example, the base material 100b is made of paper, and the adhesive forming the adhesive layer 100c is formed by mixing ink with a starch-based natural adhesive or an acrylic or rubber-based synthetic adhesive. . The adhesive forming the adhesive layer 100c has a property of being dissolved by an organic solvent such as thinner or a known solvent such as an inorganic solvent.

  The RF tag 200 is stuck on the diagonal line of the seal seal 100 on the adhesive surface 100 a of the seal seal 100. As shown in FIG. 17, the RF tag 200 is formed in a band shape. The RF tag 200 includes an antenna 201 for communicating with an RF tag reader, and an IC chip 202 in which unique identification information for identifying the pachinko machine 1 from other pachinko machines is stored. The antenna 201 is formed in a film shape from a conductive metal, and a plurality of cuts 203 are formed. Each notch 203 is formed at the end in the longitudinal direction in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna 201.

  Each notch 203 is formed from the end of the antenna 201 in the longitudinal direction to the adhesive surface 100a of the seal seal. In other words, the antenna 201 is configured to be easily broken from the notch 203 close to the peeled position when the seal seal 100 is peeled off. Thus, when the seal seal 100 is peeled off, the antenna 201 is broken and the RF tag 200 does not function, and a reading error occurs when the RF tag 200 is read using the RF tag reader. Accordingly, it can be estimated that the antenna 201 of the RF tag 200 is broken, that is, the seal seal 100 is peeled off and an illegal act is performed on the main control board 50.

[Action of micropores]
Next, the action of the fine holes H will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 18A is an explanatory view of the dissolved adhesive, and FIG. 18B is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state where the dissolved adhesive has penetrated into the micropores.

  When a solvent is applied to the seal seal 100 so as to peel off the seal seal 100, the solvent permeates the seal seal 100, and the adhesive that forms the adhesive layer 100c of the seal seal 100 is dissolved by the permeated solvent. And the melt | dissolved adhesive osmose | permeates the micro hole H formed in the sticking area | regions 55d1 and 56a1 of the sealing seal | sticker 100. FIG. In FIG. 18, a region indicated by a symbol Y is a colored region colored with the dissolved adhesive.

  For example, when the adhesive is yellow, the yellow colored region Y is formed in the transparent adhesive regions 55d1 and 56a1, and the inside of the fine hole H is colored yellow, which is very conspicuous. In particular, since the case main body 55 and the cover 56 are made of a transparent resin, as shown in FIG. 18B, when the side surface of the minute hole H is viewed from the outside, the surface of the bonding regions 55d1, 56a1 is directed from the surface to the inside. It looks like multiple yellow lines are drawn.

That is, it is possible to easily see the state in which the adhesive penetrates into the fine holes H from the outside of the main control board case 57.
In particular, it is difficult to remove the adhesive that has penetrated into the micropores H even if the adhesive that has adhered to the adhesive regions 55d1 and 56a1 is washed, so an attempt was made to peel off the sealing seal 100 using a solvent. Traces can be prevented from disappearing.
Therefore, it is possible to easily find out that there is a possibility of performing an illegal act by removing the seal seal 100 using a solvent and opening the main control board case 57.
