The slot machine 100 includes a main body 101 and a front door 102 that is attached to the front surface of the main body 101 via a hinge portion 103 and can be opened and closed with respect to the main body 101. The main body 101 is a box (cabinet) surrounding the gaming device. For example, in the center of the main body 101 (not shown), three reels (left reel 110, middle) The reel 111 and the right reel 112) are housed and can be rotated inside the slot machine 100. These reels 110 to 112 are rotationally driven by a driving device such as a stepping motor.

  In the present embodiment, an appropriate number of symbols are printed on the belt-like member at equal intervals, and the reels 110 to 112 are configured by affixing the belt-like member to a predetermined circular cylindrical frame member. When viewed from the player, the symbols on the reels 110 to 112 are generally displayed three in the vertical direction from the symbol display window 113 so that a total of nine symbols can be seen. Then, by rotating the reels 110 to 112, the combination of symbols that can be seen by the player varies. That is, each of the reels 110 to 112 functions as a display device that displays a plurality of combinations of symbols in a variable manner. In addition to the reel, an electronic image display device such as a liquid crystal display device can also be used as such a display device. In this embodiment, three reels are provided in the center of the slot machine 100. However, the number of reels and the installation position of the reels are not limited to this.

  A backlight (not shown) for illuminating the individual symbols displayed on the symbol display window 113 is disposed on the back of each of the reels 110 to 112. It is desirable that the backlight is shielded for each symbol so that the individual symbols can be illuminated evenly. In the slot machine 100, an optical sensor (not shown) including a light projecting unit and a light receiving unit is provided in the vicinity of each of the reels 110 to 112. The light projecting unit and the light receiving unit of the optical sensor are provided. A light shielding piece of a certain length provided on the reel passes between the two. Based on the detection result of the sensor, the position of the symbol on the reel in the rotation direction is determined, and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped so that the target symbol is displayed on the winning line.

  The winning line display lamp 120 is a lamp indicating the winning line 114 that is valid. The valid pay line 114 is determined in advance according to the number of medals bet as game media. There are five pay lines 114. For example, when one medal is bet, the middle horizontal pay line is valid, and when two medals are betted, the upper horizontal win line and the lower horizontal pay line are added. If three are valid and three medals are bet, five lines including a right-down winning line and an upper-right winning line are valid as winning lines.

  The number of winning lines 114 is not limited to five. For example, when one medal is bet, the middle horizontal winning line, the upper horizontal winning line, the lower horizontal winning line, the right The down line and the upper right line may be set as valid pay lines, and the same number of pay lines may be set as valid pay lines regardless of the number of bets.

It is a lamp. The reel panel lamp 129 is an effect lamp.

  The bet buttons 131 and 132 are buttons for inserting a predetermined number of medals (referred to as credits) stored electronically in the slot machine 100. In this embodiment, every time the bet button 132 is pressed, a maximum of three cards are inserted, and when the bet button 131 is pressed, three cards are inserted. Hereinafter, the bet button 131 is also referred to as a MAX bet button. Note that the game medal insertion lamp 125 lights up a number of lamps corresponding to the number of inserted medals, and when a prescribed number of medals are inserted, a game start is informed that a game start operation is possible. The lamp 121 is turned on.

  The medal slot 133 is an slot for a player to insert a medal when starting a game. That is, the medal can be inserted electronically by the bet buttons 131 and 132, or an actual medal can be inserted (insertion operation) from the medal slot 133. is there. The stored number display 128 is a display for displaying the number of medals electronically stored in the slot machine 100. The game information display 127 is a display for displaying various types of internal information (for example, the number of medals paid out during a bonus game) as numerical values. The payout number display 126 is a display for displaying the number of medals to be paid out to the player as a result of winning a winning combination. The stored number display unit 128, the game information display unit 127, and the payout number display unit 126 are 7-segment (SEG) displays.

  In the slot machine 100 having such a configuration, when a player inserts a medal and performs a start operation on the start lever 135, the reels 110 to 112 rotate all at once and an internal lottery for a winning combination is performed. Subsequently, when each stop operation of the player with respect to the stop buttons 136a to 136c is performed, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped. At this time, reel stop control according to the internal lottery result is performed. If the combination of symbols displayed by these reels when all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped is a combination of symbols corresponding to any winning combination, the winning combination is won and a medal is awarded to the winning winning combination. Medals will be paid out if the payout of is determined. Such a game control of the slot machine 100 is performed by a control board on which a CPU or the like is mounted.

<Main body 101>
The configuration of the main body 101 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a rear view, a side view, a plan view, and a bottom view of the slot machine 100. In the present embodiment, the main body 101 includes a top plate 101a constituting the top portion, side plates 101b and 101b constituting the left and right side portions, a bottom plate 101c constituting the bottom portion, and a back plate 101d constituting the back portion. And has a box with an open front.

  The width in the depth direction of the top plate 101a is shorter than the width in the depth direction of the bottom plate 101c, and accordingly, the sides on the front side of the side plates 101b and 101b are inclined. That is, the front opening of the main body 101 is formed obliquely with the top side tilted backward with respect to the vertical direction. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 2, the rotation direction of the front door 102 opens and closes slightly upward from the horizontal direction. This has the advantage that the bottom of the front door 102 does not rub against the installation surface of the slot machine 100 when the front door 102 is opened and closed.

<Composition of handle part>
The side plate 101b is provided with a cover member 200 that constitutes a handle for carrying the main body 101. The position of the handle portion is set to a position where the slot machine 100 does not tilt during transportation taking the center of gravity of the slot machine 100 into consideration. 4A is a side view of the cover member 200, FIG. 4B is a partial cross-sectional view of the side plate 101b, and FIG. 4C is a cross-sectional view of the cover member 200 in a state of being attached to the hole 101b ′. .

  First, as shown in FIG. 4B, a hole 101b ′ is formed in the side plate 101b at the position of the handle. In the present embodiment, the hole 101b ′ is a hole that penetrates the side plate 101b in the thickness direction. The size (opening area) of the hole 101b ′ is preferably as small as possible in terms of strength reduction and fraud prevention. For example, the hole 101b ′ is provided with a width of about 80 to 90 mm and a length of about 30 to 40 mm. By setting the size in this way, even if the hand can be inserted, it is difficult to insert the hand with some instrument (tool) in the hand, which contributes to prevention of fraud.

  The cover member 200 is attached to the hole 101b ′ so as to close the hole 101b ′, and is mainly intended to protect the operator's fingertips. The hole 101b ′ itself cannot be used as a handle. However, in general, the main body 101 is generally composed of plywood such as MDF or sheet metal, and the plywood is formed by compressing wood chips. In the case of sheet metal, there is a risk that the finger may be injured due to the cutout of the hole 101b ′. Further, since the thickness of the side plate 101b is proportional to the area where a load is applied to the operator's finger, the thickness of the side plate 101b must be increased in order to reduce the pressure applied to the operator's fingertip. The cover member 200 can solve these problems.

  Since the cover member 200 is necessary only when the slot machine 100 or the main body 101 is transported, the cover member 200 may be fixed to the hole 101b ′ or may be detachable. In the example of FIG. 4, it is detachable. The cover member 200 shown in the figure has a flange portion 201 and a rectangular tube portion 202, and forms a cylindrical hollow body having both ends opened as a whole. And it attaches to hole 101b 'by inserting the cylindrical part 202 in hole 101b' from the outer side of the side plate 101b.

  A flange portion 201 is located outside the side plate 101b, and an open end thereof forms an insertion port OE of the operator's hand. The size of the insertion port OE (opening area) is preferably as small as possible in terms of preventing fraud, as in the case of the hole 101b '. For example, the width is preferably about 80 to 90 mm and about 30 to 40 mm.

  The cylindrical portion 202 has a length in the depth direction that is sufficiently longer than the thickness of the side plate 101b, and is configured to eliminate the above-described problem of pressure applied to the operator's fingertip (reducing pressure). .

  An anti-slip portion 210 is formed on the inner wall of the cover member 200 that defines the internal space IS. The anti-slip portion 210 is configured to prevent the operator's fingertip from slipping. In this embodiment, the anti-slip portion 210 is formed by roughening the inner wall of the cover member 200.

  When the slot machine 100 or the main body 101 is transported, an upward force is generated on the inner wall of the cover member 200 to lift it from the operator's fingertips, but the operator needs to hold the main body 101 so as to hold it. A force in the F1 direction (from the inner side to the outer side of the main body 101) acts, but as a reaction force, a force in the F2 direction acts on the fingertip of the operator by the anti-slip portion 210. In other words, when a force toward the first direction (F1 direction) is applied, the force is canceled by generating a force in the second direction (F2 direction) that is opposite to the first direction, thereby preventing slippage. To do. Thereby, the slot machine 100 or the main body 101 can be easily lifted.

  The cover member 200 can be formed of resin, for example, and the anti-slip portion 210 can be formed integrally with the cover member. In the example of FIG. 4C, the cross section is a mountain shape, but may have other shapes of irregularities, and may be textured. Moreover, the structure which affixes the rubber sheet of another member on an inner wall may be sufficient.

  Next, the anti-slip portion 210 is formed at a plurality of locations on the inner wall, and in this embodiment, a location on the top plate 101a side (ie, the ceiling portion of the internal space IS) and a location on the bottom plate 101c side (ie, And a bottom portion of the internal space IS. Thereby, even if the main body 101 is turned upside down, the slip prevention portion 210 on the bottom plate 101c side can prevent the operator's fingertip from slipping. Here, the reason why the main body 101 may be lifted upside down will be described.

  In the manufacturing process of the slot machine 100, the main body 101 is manufactured as a single unit and temporarily stored, and then is carried to the assembly line. As described above, since the front opening of the main body 101 is inclined, when stored, as shown in FIG. 5, the upright state and the inverted state in which the top and the bottom are reversed are repeatedly arranged and adjacent to each other. The occupied space is reduced by matching the front opening of the main body 101.

  Therefore, when the main body 101 is transported from the storage state, the main body 101 is lifted and transported in the upright state as shown in FIG. 6A, and the main body 101 in the inverted state as shown in FIG. 6B. 101 may be lifted and transported. Of the two parts where the anti-slip portion 210 is formed, the part on the top plate 101a side lifts the main body 101 by touching the fingertip of the operator when the main body 101 is in the upright posture of FIG. The portion on the bottom plate 101c side is a portion where the main body 101 can be lifted by touching the operator's fingertip when the main body 101 is in the inverted posture of FIG. 6B.

  By forming the anti-slip portion 210 in each of these parts, the main body 101 can be easily lifted by preventing the operator's fingertip from slipping in any posture. In particular, as described above, the position of the handle portion is set in consideration of the center of gravity of the slot machine 100. Therefore, the empty main body 101 in which the front door 102 is removed and does not accommodate the gaming device is light in weight. The position of the center of gravity is different from that of the slot machine 100 at the time of completion, and therefore, it may be easy to tilt when lifted. Therefore, in any posture, preventing the operator's fingertip from slipping and facilitating lifting significantly improves workability. In addition, as described above, the size (opening area) of the hole 101b ′ is preferably as small as possible in terms of strength reduction and fraud prevention. In this case, the cover member 200 does not need to be enlarged, and the size of the hole 101b ′ can be easily reduced.

  For example, when the cover member 200 is used in a state where the operator faces the front surface of the slot machine 100, the portion where the worker's finger is caught faces the back surface of the slot machine 100. When the cover member 200 is used in a state where the finger is used, it may be different from the portion where the finger is caught.

Second Embodiment
In the first embodiment, the anti-slip portion 210 is formed separately in a plurality of portions on the inner wall of the cover member 200, but may be formed continuously over the plurality of portions. FIG. 7A is an exploded perspective view showing an assembled state of the cover member 200 and the main body 101 according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 7B is a cover according to the second embodiment in a state of being attached to the hole portion 101b ′. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a member 200. FIG. In the figure, components corresponding to those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals (hereinafter, the same applies to other embodiments).

  In the case of the present embodiment, the hole portion 101b ′ is circular, and the flange portion 201 and the cylindrical portion 202 are both circular in cross section corresponding to this, and the whole is cylindrical. Further, a screw fastening portion is formed on the flange portion 201, and the cover member 200 is fixed to the side plate 101b with a screw.

  In the present embodiment, the anti-slip portion 210 is formed in a rib shape protruding from the inner wall of the cover member 200, and is formed continuously over the entire circumference of the inner wall in the circumferential direction. In this way, the anti-slip portion 210 may be continuously formed at a plurality of locations on the inner wall of the cover member 200.

  The anti-slip portion 210 has an end surface 211 on the back side that is particularly important for preventing slipping. The anti-slip portion 210 prevents slipping when the operator lifts the main body 101 by hooking a fingertip on the end surface 211. That is, the force in the F1 direction for lifting from the fingertip of the worker acts, but as a reaction force, the force in the F2 direction acts on the fingertip of the worker by the anti-slip portion 210 to prevent slipping. For this reason, it is only necessary to be able to form the end surface 211. For example, the inner wall may be thickened to the position of the line L1 on the insertion port 101b ′ side from the slip prevention portion 210. Moreover, it is preferable that angle (theta) of the end surface 211 and an inner wall is a right angle or more.

  Further, in the anti-slip portion 210, it is not always necessary to form a corner by the end surface 211, and for example, a taper or the like may be provided.

  In the present embodiment, since the anti-slip portion 210 is continuously formed over the entire circumference of the inner wall, the main body 101 is in the upright / inverted posture shown in FIG. Even in the case of the tilted posture, the slip prevention works, and it is possible to prevent the operator's fingertip from slipping and to easily lift the main body 101. The main body 101 may be carried in a lying state on an assembly line or the like, and the main body 101 may be easily lifted even in this state.

<Third Embodiment>
If the cover member 200 has a cylindrical configuration with both ends open, an unauthorized device may be allowed to enter from the outside. Therefore, it is preferable to have a structure that does not allow unauthorized devices to enter from the outside. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the cover member 200 according to the third embodiment in a state attached to the hole 101b ′.

  The cover member 200 of the present embodiment has a cylindrical shape as a whole as in the configuration of the second embodiment. However, the inner side of the cylindrical portion 202 is closed by the end portion 203. Further, the flange portion 201 is fixed to the side plate 101b with screws inside the main body 101. For this reason, it is difficult to remove the cover member 200 from the outside. Further, the flange portion 201 is not formed at the end portion of the cylindrical portion 202 but at an intermediate portion.

  The anti-slip part 210 is formed by bending the inner wall of the cylindrical part 202, and its corners are rounded in consideration of the touch of the operator's fingertips. Then, a force in the F1 direction for lifting from the fingertip of the worker acts, but as a reaction force, a force in the F2 direction acts on the fingertip of the worker by the anti-slip portion 210 to prevent slipping.

  Since the anti-slip portion 210 is located on the back side of the side plate 101b, the operator lifts the main body 101 by hanging the thumb on the front side of the side plate 101b and the remaining fingers on the anti-slip portion 210, for example. Since the main body 101 is held across the side plates 101b, the main body 101 can be firmly held during transportation, and the transportability can be improved.

  Further, as in the second embodiment, the anti-slip portion 210 is formed over the entire circumference of the inner wall, so that the main body 101 is in an upright / inverted posture as shown in FIG. Even in the case of the posture inclined from the posture, the slip prevention works, and it is possible to prevent the operator's fingertip from slipping and to easily lift the main body 101.

<Fourth embodiment>
In the first to third embodiments, the part of the anti-slip part 210 is set by paying attention to the posture of the main body 101 during transportation. However, the anti-slip part paying attention to other elements such as a difference in the body shape of the operator. 210 parts may be set. FIGS. 9A and 9B are cross-sectional views of the cover member 200 according to the fourth embodiment in a state of being attached to the hole 101b ′.

  It is assumed that the cover member 200 of the present embodiment has a rectangular tube shape as a whole as in the first embodiment, but has an end 203. The hole 101b ′ has a step whose diameter changes in the middle, and the flange portion 201 is in a surface position with the outer surface of the side plate 101b.

  The anti-slip portion 210F is located on the insertion port OE side and has a groove shape into which a fingertip is inserted. The slip prevention part 210R is located on the back side of the slip prevention part 210F. Both of the anti-slip portion 210F and the anti-slip portion 210R are formed on the top wall 101a side of the inner wall of the cover member 200, and are assumed to be used when the main body 101 is in an upright state. .

  Workers have different body types, such as small hands, large hands, short fingers, and long hands. In the case of the present embodiment, an operator can lift and transport the main body 101 or the slot machine 100 by placing a finger on the anti-slip portion 210R or the anti-slip portion 210F according to his / her preference. be able to.

  As described above, when a plurality of slip prevention portions 210 are provided on the cover member 200, a plurality of operations having various physical characteristics can be achieved by varying the distance, angle, diameter, and size from the opening. Even a person can easily lift the main body 101 and the slot machine 100.

<Fifth Embodiment>
The cover member 200 may be divided and united. FIG. 10A is a development view of the cover member 200 according to the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 10B is a cross-sectional view of the cover member 200 according to the fifth embodiment in a state of being attached to the hole 101b ′.

  In the present embodiment, the cover member 200 is integrally formed from portions 200A and 200B divided into left and right and a strip-shaped connection portion 200C connecting them. And the cover member 200 is completed by folding in half by the connection part 200C. Since the cover member 200 has a flange portion 201, and the portions 200A and 200B each have a portion that forms the flange portion 201, the alignment of the two is based on the formation of the flange portion 201. Cheap. The halved direction may be up and down.

  The shaded portions of the portions 200A and 200B in FIG. 10A are the mating surfaces of both. The portions 200A and 200B may be joined by bonding or the like on the mating surfaces, but may simply be mated. This is because, when the cover member 200 is inserted into the hole portion 101b ′, the portions 200A and 200B are restrained by the hole portion 101b ′ so as not to open.

  It is assumed that the cover member 200 of the present embodiment has a rectangular tube shape as a whole as in the first embodiment, but has an end 203. The hole 101b ′ has a step whose diameter changes in the middle, and the flange portion 201 is in a surface position with the outer surface of the side plate 101b.

  The cover member 200 of the present embodiment is formed with a locking claw 204 that prevents the hole 101b ′ from coming off. When the cover member 200 is inserted into the hole portion 101b ′, the locking claw 204 is elastically curved toward the cylindrical portion 202 side, and after insertion, returns to the original shape and comes into contact with the back surface of the side plate 101b. . Therefore, the cover member 200 can be assembled to the main body 101 only by folding the cover member 200 and inserting the cover member 200 into the hole 101b ′. And since the latching claw 204 is located inside the main body 101, it has a structure in which it is difficult from the outside to remove the cover member 200 by removing it.

  The anti-slip portion 210 is formed by an inner wall of the cover member 200 and is formed as an inclined portion that is inclined outward from the center side of the internal space IS of the cover member 200. The anti-slip portion 210 is formed at two locations, a portion on the top plate 101a side and a portion on the bottom plate 101c side, and the anti-slip portion 210 on the top plate 101a side is inclined upward, and the anti-slip portion on the bottom plate 101c side. 210 inclines downward, and both have different directions of inclination.

  As in the case of the first embodiment, the anti-slip portion 210 on the top plate 101a side prevents the operator's fingertips from slipping when the main body 101 is lifted and transported in an upright state, and slips on the bottom plate 101c side. The prevention unit 210 prevents the operator's fingertip from slipping when the main body 101 is lifted and transported in an inverted state. The two anti-slip portions 210 are not only different in arrangement part but also in the direction of inclination, so that it is difficult to make a mistake as to which the operator touches the fingertip.

  In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, the hole 101b ′ is set in consideration of the center of gravity of the main body 101, so that the balance can be achieved regardless of which direction the main body is lifted. If the hole 101b ′ is provided with only lifting in the forward direction, the center of gravity may be difficult to transport when the main body 101 is lifted upside down. The angles may be different from each other, and they may be provided at an inclination angle suitable for each state.

In the present embodiment, since the slip prevention part 210 is formed as an inclined part, there is an advantage that the insertion space of the operator's finger can be made larger than the depth of the cover member 200. In FIG. 10B, the length X is the length in the depth direction of the internal space IS of the cover member 200, and the length Z is the length in the depth direction of the anti-slip portion 210. Since Z ² = X ² + Y ² and Z> X, the area on which the operator can place a finger becomes larger.

<Sixth Embodiment>
In each of the above embodiments, the extending direction of the cylindrical portion 202 is the normal direction of the side plate 101b, but may be inclined or curved with respect to the normal direction. This is useful for securing the internal space IS (securing the insertion space for the hand) while securing the arrangement space for the gaming apparatus or the like in the main body 101. 11A is a perspective view of the cover member 200 according to the sixth embodiment (when viewed from the top), FIG. 11B is a side view of the cover member 200 according to the sixth embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 12A is a perspective view of the cover member 200 according to the sixth embodiment (when viewed from the bottom side), FIG. 12B is a perspective view of the portion 200A of the cover member 200 according to the sixth embodiment, and FIG. It is sectional drawing of the cover member 200 which concerns on 6th Embodiment in the state attached to 101b '.

  In the present embodiment, the cover member 200 is configured by combining portions 200A and 200B that are divided into left and right by a parting line PL. Note that, as in the fifth embodiment, the portions 200A and 200B may be connected by the band-shaped connecting portion 200C and integrally formed. FIG. 14 is a development view in that case.

  With reference to FIGS. 11 to 13, in the cover member 200 of the present embodiment, a locking claw 204 is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical portion 204, while a locking rib 204 ′ is formed at the top. . The locking rib 204 ′ is for the purpose of preventing the cover member 200 from coming off from the hole 101 b ′, similarly to the locking claw 204, but unlike the locking claw 204, When inserted into the portion 101b ′, it is a block-shaped one whose elastic deformation is not planned. Similarly to the fifth embodiment, in this embodiment, the parts 200A and 200B are aligned with the parting line PL and inserted into the hole 101b ′, whereby the assembly work of the cover member 200 to the main body 101 is completed.

  In the cover member 200 of the present embodiment, the extending direction of the cylindrical portion 202 is inclined or curved upward with respect to the normal direction of the side plate 101b. However, as shown in FIG. 11B, the widths M1 to M4 of the respective parts are set to be equal to or smaller than the width M0 of the end of the cylindrical part 202 corresponding to the vertical width of the hole part 101b ′. The cover member 200 can be inserted into the hole 101b ′ (when the cover member 200 is inserted into the hole 101b ′, it is necessary to rotate the cover member 200 while inserting the cover member 200 in the back direction). .)

  Referring to FIG. 13, anti-slip portions 210 </ b> F and 210 </ b> R are formed by inner walls of cover member 200, and are formed as inclined portions that are inclined outward from the center side of inner space IS of cover member 200. The anti-slip portion 210F is formed at a portion on the top plate 101a side, and the anti-slip portion 210R is formed at a portion on the bottom plate 101c side. The anti-slip portion 210F on the top plate 101a side is inclined upward, the anti-slip portion 210R on the bottom plate 101c side is inclined downward, and the directions of the inclination are different.

  When the opposing inner walls are provided with the inclined portions in the opposite directions as described above, the distance between the inner walls increases toward the back, so that it is generally difficult to insert the cylindrical portion 202 into the hole 101b ′. easy. However, in this embodiment, the positions where the anti-slip portions 210F and 210R, which are inclined portions, are provided are made different while keeping the cross-sectional area of the cylindrical portion 202 below a certain level due to the dimensional relationship shown in FIG. This is solved.

  That is, the anti-slip portion 210F is started from the position of the distance D1 from the insertion port OE, while the anti-slip portion 210R is started from the position of the distance D2 (> D1) from the insertion port OE. 210R is located in the back | inner side rather than the slip prevention part 210F. As a result, the distance between the inner walls does not increase as the depth increases.

  The portion on the top plate 101a side where the anti-slip portion 210F is formed is a portion where the main body 101 can be lifted by touching the operator's fingertip when the main body 101 is in the upright posture of FIG. The portion on the bottom plate 101c side where the anti-slip portion 210R is formed is a portion where the main body 101 can be lifted by touching the operator's fingertip when the main body 101 is in the inverted posture of FIG.

  In the case of the present embodiment, since the position of the anti-slip part 210F and the position of the anti-slip part 210R are shifted in the depth direction of the cylinder part 202, the operator is less likely to make a mistake or can be alerted. It has become. Further, the anti-slip portion 210F and the anti-slip portion 210R are different in the degree of inclination and length, and are non-similar to each other in the depth direction center line of the internal space IS (the line DI in FIG. 13; the insertion direction of the hand). It is an asymmetrical shape, and the operator is less likely to make a mistake or can be alerted. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 13, the upper edge OE1 of the insertion port OE is rounded, while the lower edge OE2 is not rounded. Therefore, when the hand is inserted, it is easy to recognize whether the main body 101 is in an upright state or an inverted state by tactile sensation, which may cause an operator to select the anti-slip portion 210F and the anti-slip portion 210R incorrectly. There are few or can be called attention. Needless to say, the lower edge OE2 may be rounded.

  As described above, while the anti-slip portion 210F and the anti-slip portion 210R are provided in a confusing shape, both anti-slip portions are inserted until the operator's finger inserted through the hole 101b 'hits the wall surface. Since the slot machine 100 or the main body 101 can be lifted by the slip prevention unit 210 that is naturally suitable for the state simply by applying a vertical upward force at that time, even a skilled worker can work efficiently. May be possible.

  Referring to FIG. 15A, when the main body 101 is transported in an upright state, a load in the F3 direction acts on the locking rib 204 ′ from the side plate 101b. In the transportation in the upright state, not only the empty main body 101 is transported but also the slot machine 100 as a finished product is often transported, so that the load acting on the locking rib 204 ′ may increase. is there. In the present embodiment, the locking rib 204 ′ has a block-like configuration that is not expected to be elastically deformed, so that it can sufficiently withstand such a load.

  Referring to FIG. 15B, when the main body 101 is conveyed in an inverted state, a load from the side plate 101b acts on the locking claw 204 instead of the locking rib 204 ′. However, transportation in the inverted state is basically limited to transportation of the empty main body 101. Therefore, even if the latching claw 204 is scheduled to be elastically deformed, a load can be applied.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the anti-slip portion 210R is located on the back side of the anti-slip portion 210F. This is when the operator changes the empty main body 101 from the inverted state to the upright state. Work in an advantage. FIGS. 16A and 16B are explanatory diagrams of the operation of changing the main body 101 from the inverted state to the established state.

  As shown in the figure, the operator is carrying the main body 101 in an inverted state (FIG. 16 (a)) and rotating it toward him and holding it in an upright state as shown in FIG. 16 (b). When changing, it is convenient for the operator to touch the anti-slip part 210F so that the fingertip is extracted from the anti-slip part 210R, and it is not necessary to extract the hand once. As described above, since the position of the handle portion is set in consideration of the center of gravity of the slot machine 100, the front body 102 is removed, and the empty main body 101 that does not contain the gaming device is the slot when completed. The center of gravity is different from the machine 100 and may be decentered from the center, and the rotation from the inverted state to the upright state may be easy.
