Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Game machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines have various electronic components such as a CPU that executes game control processing, a ROM that stores game control programs, and a RAM that temporarily stores various data generated by the progress of the game. It has a mounted control board. And according to the game control program memorize | stored in ROM, various game machines mounted in the game machine by CPU are controlled, and a series of games are performed.

  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. There have been many reports of fraudulent acts such as

  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. There is an effect to make.

  All of the above fraud countermeasures are to visually check the control board and board box, and since the control board is hidden behind the game machine and inside the housing, the daily check 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 becomes conspicuous in a large game hall with a large number of gaming machines.

  On the other hand, as a new fraud countermeasure other than a 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).

JP 2003-180917 A JP 2005-143641 A

  If an electronic tag is attached, an administrator of the game hall or the like reads the identification information with the reader device, thereby confirming whether or not the control board is illegally exchanged. Such fraud countermeasures using an electronic tag allow fraud detection based on the reading result of the reader device. Therefore, the labor for fraud detection is less than the visual confirmation of the sealed portion, and fraud is not overlooked. It is expected to be.

  However, even in anti-fraud measures using electronic tags, it is necessary to bring the reader device closer to the electronic tag due to the weak radio waves transmitted from the electronic tag. Must be open to. Since such an opening operation is not different from the case of visual confirmation of the sealed location, the operation time is limited such that the confirmation operation cannot be performed while the gaming machine is in operation, and there is still room for improvement in terms of efficiency.

In the present embodiment, the CPU, ROM, and RAM are integrated into a microcomputer chip 278a. Further, although detailed description is omitted, an IC chip for input / output driver 278b and the like are mounted.

  The box base 276 and the box cover 277 are made of a synthetic resin having transparency such as a polycarbonate resin. In the box base 276, a side plate portion 276b is formed on the long side of the bottom plate portion 276a, and a step portion 276c is formed on one side of the short side so as to be continuous with the side plate portion 276b. The front end of the side plate portion 276b is bent inward. The right end portion of the side plate portion 276b serves as a mounting opening 276d for slidingly mounting the box cover 277. In this case, as shown in FIG. 20, the box cover 277 is attached from the attachment opening 276d and is slid until it contacts the stepped portion 276c, so that the box cover 277 is attached at a predetermined position on the box base 276. ing.

  The box cover 277 is formed with an extending portion 277 a so as to overlap the stepped portion 276 c of the box base 276. The extension part 277a constitutes a sealing unit 279 (so-called caulking structure) as a sealing means together with the step part 276c of the box base 276. The box base 276 and the box cover 277 are connected by the sealing unit 279, and the substrate Box 273 is sealed.

  As the sealing unit 279, any configuration can be applied as long as the box base 276 and the box cover 277 are connected to each other, but here, as shown in FIG. The box base 276 and the box cover 277 are connected by inserting a locking claw into the long holes of the sealing members 279a and 279b. In this case, since the latching claw cannot be removed from the sealing members 279a and 279b, it is necessary to destroy the sealing members 279a and 279b in order to open the substrate box 273. Therefore, it is possible to leave a history that the board box 273 has been unlawfully opened, and to discover that the board control 278 has been tampered with.

  The box cover 277 and the box base 276 are provided with adhesive plate portions 281 and 282 on the side opposite to the side where the sealing unit 279 is provided. It is fastened (connected) by metal screws 283 and 284 as a connector. By fastening with the metal screws 283 and 284 in this way, the act of separating the fasteners that fasten the two pasting plate portions 281 and 282 to remove the main control board 278 illegally is suppressed.

  A configuration relating to such fastening will be described with reference to longitudinal sectional views of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 shown in FIG. Screw holes 285a, 285b, 286a, and 286b are formed in the respective sticking plate portions 281 and 282 so as to penetrate the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 on both ends in the long side direction. The screw hole 285a and the screw hole 285b are formed so that the axes thereof are positioned on the same axis, and the first screw hole 285 is formed by communicating with each other. On the other hand, the screw hole 286a and the screw hole 286b are formed so that the axes thereof are located on the same axis, and these are communicated to form a second screw hole 286. In addition, the 1st screw hole 285 and the 2nd screw hole 286 are located in a line up and down in each sticking board part 281,282.

  In the first screw hole 285, a head accommodating portion 287 is formed by expanding the surface 281a (hereinafter also referred to as the first pasting surface 281a) facing the rear of the pachinko machine 10 in the pasting plate portion 281 in a step shape. . On the other hand, the second screw hole 286 has a head accommodating portion 288 having a stepped diameter-expanding surface 282a (hereinafter also referred to as a second pasting surface 282a) facing the front of the pachinko machine 10 in the pasting plate portion 282. Is formed. The screws 283 and 284 are screwed into the head accommodating portions 287 and 288 so that the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 are accommodated. That is, one screw 283 (hereinafter also referred to as the first screw 283) is screwed from the first sticking surface 281a side, while the other screw 284 (hereinafter also referred to as the second screw 284) is the first screw 283. 2 It is screwed from the sticking surface 282a side.

  When the screws 283 and 284 are screwed, the heads 283a and 284a are screwed until they come into contact with the step portions 287a and 288a of the head accommodating portions 287 and 288, respectively. In this case, when the heads 283a and 284a are in contact with the stepped portions 287a and 288a (that is, when the fastening is completed), the heads 283a and 284a of the screws 283 and 284 have openings 289 and 290 (hereinafter referred to as “opening”). , Also referred to as removal side openings 289 and 290) at a position inside by a distance of X1. That is, the positions of the tops (tips) of the heads 283a and 284a are intermediate positions in the axial direction of the screw holes 285 and 286, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 21 and the like, a seal seal 300 is affixed to the affixing plate portions 281 and 282 fastened by the screws 283 and 284. In this case, as shown in FIG. 21, FIG. 22, etc., a series of upper ridges 291a, 292a are integrally formed on the upper edges of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282, and a series of them are also formed on the lower edges. Lower ridges 291b and 292b are integrally formed. And since each sticking board part 281 and 282 are fastened, while the front-end | tip of each upper side protrusion 291a and 292a mutually contact | abut, the front-end | tip of each lower side protrusion 291b and 292b mutually contact | abuts. . In addition, each of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 is formed continuously to the side end portion 293 of the box cover 277 and the side end portion 294 of the box base 276, and these side end portions 293 and 294 are formed. A partition wall on the proximal end side of each of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 is configured. That is, the upper ridges 291a and 292a, the lower ridges 291b and 292b, and the side end portions 293 and 294 function as a surrounding portion C, and the application surfaces 281a, 281b, 282a, and 282b of the application plate portions 281 and 282 are It is surrounded by the surrounding part C.

  A seal seal 300 is bent and attached in a substantially U-shape to the application surfaces 281a, 281b, 282a, and 282b surrounded by the encircling portion C. In this case, the peripheral edge of the seal seal 300 is close to the encircling portion C, and even if the seal seal 300 is to be peeled off, it is very difficult to remove the seal. By sticking the seal seal 300, almost the entire area of the sticking surfaces 281a, 281b, 282a, 282b is covered. Therefore, the removal side openings 289 and 290 in the screw holes 285 and 286 are covered with the seal seal 300.

  Next, the structure of the seal seal 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. 23 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the seal seal 300, FIG. 24A is a front view showing the configuration of the seal seal 300, FIG. 24B is a rear view showing the configuration of the seal seal 300, and FIG. 26A is an explanatory diagram for explaining the positional relationship of the seal seal 300 with respect to 281a, 281b, 282a, 282b, FIG. 26A is an enlarged front view showing the periphery of the seal seal 300, and FIG. FIG. 26C is a rear view showing the periphery of the seal seal 300 in an enlarged manner. In FIG. 25, notches 307, 308, and 309 described later are omitted.

  The seal seal 300 includes a substantially rectangular base sheet 301, and an adhesive is applied to the back surface of the base sheet 301 to form an adhesive layer 302. An IC tag 303 as an electronic tag is embedded in the adhesive layer 302. In FIG. 23, a release sheet 304 is shown on the back side of the adhesive layer 302. 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 illegally peel off the sealing seal 300 from the sticking plate portions 281 and 282 of the substrate box 273, the base sheet 301 is discolored to cause a trace of the fraud. Can leave.

  On the surface of the base sheet 301, as shown in FIG. 24A, an ink application part 301a, an identification number part 301b, and a model information part 301c are provided. The ink application part 301a is applied with special ink that shows a pattern when irradiated with light of a specific wavelength such as ultraviolet rays. A plurality of numbers are described in the identification number portion 301b, and the numbers described in the identification number portion 301b are different for each pachinko machine. In the model information section 301c, a model name of the gaming machine, a manufacturer name of the gaming machine, and the like are described. The upper region R1 in which the ink application part 301a and the identification number part 301b are provided is located on the first attaching surface 281a of the attaching plate part 281, and the intermediate region R2 in which the model information part 301c is provided is the both attaching plate parts 281. , 282 and the lower region R3 is located on the second pasting surface 282a of the pasting plate portion 282.

  The adhesive of the adhesive layer 302 has an adhesive force that can be removed from the base sheet 301 when it is peeled off after being applied once, as in the case of a conventional seal. Therefore, when the seal seal 300 is peeled off, it cannot be attached again, and a part of the adhesive layer remains on the side of the sticking plate portions 281 and 282. Therefore, it is possible to leave a trace of the seal seal 300 being removed illegally.

  The IC tag 303 includes an IC chip 305 and an antenna unit 306, and the IC chip 305 is disposed near the center of the long antenna unit 306. The IC chip 305 is formed as an integrated circuit and has a control unit and a memory area. 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. The reading of ID information by such a reader device will be described in detail later.

  As shown in FIG. 24B, 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. 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. 24 ( 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 the 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. 26 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. Therefore, when the sealing seal 300 is applied, 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.

Therefore, as described above, the main reader device 531 transmits a call wave based on the control of the payout control device 311, and the ID information read by receiving the response wave from the main IC tag 303 is sent to the payout control device 311. Entered. The payout reader device 561 transmits a calling wave based on the control of the main control device 271, and the ID information read by receiving the response wave from the payout side IC tag 320a is input to the main control device 271.

  The main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 execute fraud detection processing based on the ID information input from the reader devices 531 and 561. Based on the detection result, predetermined information is output to the sound lamp control device 272 and the hall computer HC provided in the game hall. In this case, the information output to the hall computer HC may be wired or wireless. In addition, in the wired configuration, whether or not the signal line is relayed by a relay board (for example, the board external terminal board 230) mounted on the pachinko machine 10 is arbitrary. However, since a fraudulent act in which a fraudulent chip or the like is provided on the relay board is assumed when the relay board is relayed, it is preferable that the relay board is not relayed.

  Next, fraud detection processing executed at predetermined intervals (for example, every 4 msec) in the CPU 501 of the main controller 271 and the CPU 511 of the payout controller 311 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. However, since the fraud detection processing executed in each of the control devices 271 and 311 has almost the same processing configuration, the fraud detection processing executed by the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 will be described here.

  In the fraud detection process, first, in step S11, it is determined whether or not a waiting flag is set in a waiting flag storage area provided in the RAM 513. The waiting flag is a flag that is set when the payout control device 311 outputs a radio wave transmission signal to the main reader device 531 and is cleared when a transmission stop signal is output. The main reader device 531 transmits a calling wave having a predetermined frequency by inputting a radio wave transmission signal, and stops transmitting the calling wave by inputting a transmission stop signal. Therefore, while the waiting flag is set, the apparatus waits for input of ID information from the main reader device 531.

  If the waiting flag is not set, the fraud detection setting process in steps S12 to S13 is executed. On the other hand, if the waiting flag is set, the fraud detection determination process in steps S14 to S18 is executed.

  In the fraud detection setting process, it is first determined in step S12 whether or not the fraud detection start time has come. Here, in the present embodiment, an affirmative determination is made in step S12 when a predetermined period (for example, 30 minutes) elapses without a calling wave being transmitted from the main reader device 531. If not, a negative determination is made in step S12. If a negative determination is made in step S12, the present process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S12, a radio wave transmission signal is output to the main reader device 531 in step S13. As a result, the CPU 542 of the main reader device 531 drives the RF circuit 543 to transmit a calling wave having a predetermined frequency via the reader antenna 541. In step S12, a waiting flag is set. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  When the waiting flag is set in step S12, an affirmative determination is made in step S11 in the next fraud detection process. Thereby, the fraud detection determination process is started. In the fraud detection determination process, it is first determined in step S14 whether or not ID information is input from the main reader device 531. If ID information is input, ID information output processing is executed in step S15.

  In this ID information output process, the input ID information is output to the hall computer HC. At this time, the payout control device 311 outputs identification specific information for identifying the IC tag of the ID information transmission source together with the ID information. As the identification unique information, for example, information including unique information (for example, a machine number) of the pachinko machine 10 provided with the IC tag and unique information indicating that it is provided in the main controller 271 can be considered.

  The hall computer HC executes a comparison process between the management ID information stored as management data and the input ID information. In this case, a large number of pachinko machines 10 are installed in the game hall, and ID information is stored in the management data in association with the identification specific information. Therefore, in the comparison process, first, ID information to be compared is specified by referring to identification unique information, and then ID information is compared. If the ID information does not match as a result of the comparison, the result is stored as error data. At this time, the error data is stored in such a manner that the main controller 271 of the pachinko machine 10 that is the target of the error is known. Thereby, the administrator of the game hall and the like can confirm the occurrence of fraud and the target on which the fraud has occurred by confirming such error data.

  After executing the ID information output process in step S15, a transmission stop signal is output to the main reader device 531 in step S16. As a result, the CPU 542 of the main reader device 531 drives the RF circuit 543 to stop the calling wave from being transmitted via the reader antenna 541. In step S15, the waiting flag is cleared. Thereafter, this process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the ID information has not been input in step S14, the process proceeds to step S17. In step S17, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the radio wave transmission signal was output in step S13. If the predetermined time has not elapsed, this processing is terminated as it is. If the predetermined time has elapsed, an error output process is executed in step S18, and then an infinite loop is entered.

  In the error output process, error information to that effect is output to the hall computer HC and an error command is output to the sound lamp control device 272. The hall computer HC stores the input error information as error data. At this time, the error data is stored in such a manner that the main controller 271 of the pachinko machine 10 that is the target of the error is known. Thereby, the administrator of the game hall and the like can confirm the occurrence of fraud and the target on which the fraud has occurred by confirming such error data. Incidentally, when error information is output in the fraud detection process executed by the CPU 501 of the main control device 271, the hall computer HC uses the input error information as error data to determine which pachinko machine the error has occurred. The payout control device 311 of the machine 10 is stored in a manner that can be understood.

  In addition, the audio lamp control device 272 performs error notification. That is, in error notification, an error notification sound is output from the speaker 20 and the error display lamp 106 is turned on. Further, an error command is output to the display control device 214, and an error notification display is performed on the symbol display device 41. The error notification is continued while the infinite loop is entered. Thereby, it is notified in the pachinko machine 10 in which the fraudulent act was performed that fraud was performed. Incidentally, since an error command may be output in the fraud detection process executed by the CPU 501 of the main controller 271, the error notification display in the symbol display device 41 is the main controller 271 This is performed so that it can be determined which of the payout control devices 311 is.

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

  IC tags 303 and 320a are attached to the seal seals 300 and 320 of the main controller 271 and the payout controller 311, respectively. 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 this case, the pachinko machine 10 is equipped with reader devices 531 and 561 for reading ID information from the IC tags 303 and 320a. Thereby, since it is not necessary for the manager of the game hall to read the ID information, the ID information can be read efficiently at any time.

  However, in the configuration in which the reader devices 531 and 561 are mounted on the pachinko machine 10, injustice to the reader devices 531 and 561 is assumed. For example, by mounting unauthorized electronic components or the like to the reader devices 531 and 561, an unauthorized operation such as disguised as reading ID information even though the ID information is not actually read is assumed. . In this case, fraudulent discovery using the IC tags 303 and 320a cannot be performed accurately. On the other hand, the reader devices 531 and 561 are accommodated in substrate boxes 273 and 315 as encapsulating means. Accordingly, the reader devices 531 and 561 are encapsulated in the back surface portion of the pachinko machine 10, and fraud with respect to the reader devices 531 and 561 can be suppressed.

  Further, as described above, since the substrate boxes 273 and 315 are used as the encapsulating means of the reader devices 531 and 561, the existing substrate boxes 273 and 315 serve as the enclosing means, so that the configuration is simple. It is possible to suppress fraud with respect to each of the reader devices 531 and 561 while achieving the above.

  The reader devices 531 and 561 were accommodated in substrate boxes 273 and 315 different from the control devices 271 and 311 to which the IC tags 303 and 320a to be read ID information were attached. As an illegal act, an act of exchanging the control devices 271 and 311 with an unauthorized device is assumed. In this case, if the reader devices 531 and 561 are accommodated in the board boxes 273 and 315 of the control devices 271 and 311 to which the IC tags 303 and 320a that are ID information reading targets are attached, the control that should be monitored for fraud. When the devices 271 and 311 are replaced with unauthorized devices, the reader devices 531 and 561 may be replaced with unauthorized devices. In addition, when the board boxes 273 and 315 are opened in order to attach unauthorized electronic components or the like to the control boards 278 and 311a or to replace the control boards 278 and 311a with unauthorized boards, the reader device 631, There is a possibility that an unauthorized electronic component or the like may be attached to 651. In these cases, it is impossible to discover fraud with respect to the control devices 271 and 311 based on reading of ID information by the reader devices 531 and 561. On the other hand, as described above, the reader devices 531 and 561 are connected to the substrate boxes 273 and 315 of a control device different from the control devices 271 and 311 to which the IC tags 303 and 320a to be read ID information are attached. Occurrence of the above inconveniences can be suppressed by housing in the container.

  In particular, the main reader device 531 that reads ID information from the main IC tag 303 attached to the main control device 271 is housed in the substrate box 315 of the payout control device 311 and the payout side attached to the payout control device 311. A payout reader device 561 for reading ID information from the IC tag 320a is housed in the substrate box 273 of the main controller 271. Therefore, in order not to detect the fraud that has been made to the main control device 271, it is necessary to confirm that the main IC tag 303 attached to the main control device 271 has been destroyed or replaced. It is necessary to prevent the device 531 from reading, and it is necessary to cheat the main reader device 531 accommodated in the substrate box 315 of the payout control device 311. On the other hand, in order to prevent the fraud performed on the payout control device 311 from being discovered, the payout side IC tag 320a attached to the payout control device 311 must be destroyed or replaced. It is necessary to prevent reading by the reader device 561, and it is necessary to cheat on the payout reader device 561 housed in the board box 273 of the main control device 271. In other words, in order to prevent any one of the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 from being discovered and to detect it, it is necessary to perform the unauthorized operation on the other side. Therefore, it is considered that the fraudulent person who tries to cheat either the main control device 271 or the payout control device 311 has a troublesome work, and the effect of making the cheating cheating is obtained. Further, in this configuration, since the main reader device 531 and the payout reader device 561 monitor each other for fraud, the above effect can be obtained with a relatively simple configuration.

  In the payout control device 311, the main reader device 531 is disposed between the box cover 318 exposed on the back side of the pachinko machine 10 and the payout control board 311a. The box cover 318 is formed of a transparent material. Accordingly, the main reader device 531 accommodated in the substrate box 315 of the payout control device 311 can be visually observed without removing the payout control device 311 from the base plate 327. Therefore, when a malfunction occurs in the main reader device 531, the main reader device 531 can be easily confirmed. This configuration is similarly applied to the payout reader device 561, and has the same effect.

  In the payout control device 311, the facing area S facing the housing 531a of the main reader device 531 on the element mounting surface 537 of the payout control board 311a is not provided with electronic components and wiring patterns. In the configuration in which the main reader device 531 is accommodated in the substrate box 315 of the payout control device 311, electronic components and wiring patterns of the payout control substrate 311 a accommodated in the substrate box 315 are transferred by the housing 531 a of the main reader device 531. If it is hidden, the hidden electronic component or wiring pattern cannot be visually observed unless the substrate box 315 is opened and the main reader device 531 is removed. On the other hand, the occurrence of the above-described inconvenience can be suppressed because the facing region S is not provided with electronic components and wiring patterns as described above.

  The main reader device 531 and the payout reader device 561 were connected to the control boards 278 and 311a in the control devices 271 and 311 as the accommodation destinations, respectively. Thereby, there is no need to route signal lines extending from the reader devices 531 and 561 to the outside of the board boxes 273 and 315, and the configuration related to the output of the read results from the reader devices 531 and 561 can be improved. .

  The reader devices 531 and 561 are arranged in a substantially vertical direction with respect to the IC tags 303 and 320a to be read in the substrate boxes 273 and 315 as the accommodation destinations (in opposition to the IC tags 303 and 320a), respectively. , 315 are arranged biased toward the IC tags 303 and 320a to be read. As a result, the reader devices 531 and 561 are positioned closer to the IC tags 303 and 320a to be read, and each reader device 531 and 561 can read each ID information satisfactorily. Since no metal member is provided between the reader devices 531 and 561 and the IC tags 303 and 320a to be read, the reader devices 531 and 561 and the IC tags 303 and 320a to be read are not connected. The transmission and reception of radio waves between them is not hindered.

  Since the antenna unit 306 of the main IC tag 303 and the antenna unit 320c of the payout IC tag 320a are produced in different patterns, the resonance frequencies of the IC tags 303 and 320a are made different. Thereby, when a calling wave is transmitted from any one of the reader devices 531 and 561, it is possible to reliably prevent a response wave from being transmitted from the IC tags 303 and 320a that are not targeted by the calling wave. In the configuration in which the IC tags 303 and 320a and the reader devices 531 and 561 are relatively close to each other, the reader devices 531 and 561 may receive a response wave from the non-target IC tags 303 and 320a. Assumed, this can be suppressed by making the resonance frequencies of the IC tags 303 and 320a different.

  Radio wave intensity of response waves (radio wave intensity of ringing waves from reader devices 531 and 561) so that unacceptable reader devices 531 and 561 are not included in response wave propagation areas WA1 and WA2 of IC tags 303 and 320a. It was set. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably prevent the response waves from being received from the non-target IC tags 303 and 320a by the reader devices 531 and 561.

  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.

  (1) FIGS. 38A and 38B show a modification of the configuration related to the installation of the reader device. 38 (a) and 38 (b) are explanatory diagrams for explaining a configuration relating to installation of the main reader device.

  In FIG. 38A, the main reader device 581 is disposed between the main control device 271 and the mounting base 582 of the main control device 271. Specifically, the mounting base 582 is formed with a receiving portion 583 that is recessed on the back surface side at a position facing the sealing seal 300 of the main controller 271. The accommodating portion 583 is open to the main control device 271 side. The open portion is closed by the box base 276 of the main controller 271. That is, the accommodation space formed between the accommodation portion 583 and the main controller 271 is a closed space. A main reader device 581 is installed in the housing space. In this case, the main reader device 581 is arranged so that the reader antenna 584 faces the seal sticker 300 of the main control device 271, and ID information can be read from the IC tag 303 of the seal sticker 300. In the above configuration, the main reader device 581 cannot be exposed unless the main control device 271 is removed from the mounting base 582. Therefore, an illegal act against the main reader device 581 can be suppressed.

  In FIG. 38 (b), the main reader device 591 is installed on the back side of the mounting base 592 of the main control device 271. In this case, the main reader device 591 is arranged so that the reader antenna 593 faces the seal seal 300 of the main control device 271, and ID information can be read from the IC tag 303 of the seal seal 300. Here, as in the above embodiment, the mounting base 592 is provided on the back surface of the game board 30, and the back surface of the mounting base 592 faces the back surface of the game board 30. Furthermore, a peripheral wall 594 is integrally formed on the back surface of the mounting base 592 so as to surround the main reader device 591, and the tip of the peripheral wall 594 is in contact with the back surface of the game board 30. Therefore, the main reader device 591 cannot be exposed unless the mounting base 592 is removed from the game board 30 or retracted. Therefore, fraudulent acts on the main reader device 591 can be suppressed.

  (2) A modified example of the electrical configuration relating to reading of ID information by the reader devices 531 and 561 will be described based on the block diagram of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 38, the main reader device 531 provided in the payout control device 311 and the payout reader device 561 provided in the main control device 271 are respectively CPUs 501 and 511 of the control devices 271 and 311 provided. The reading result is not output to the hall computer HC, but the reading result is output to the hall computer HC of the game hall (note that the reading result may be output by wired communication or wireless communication). Accordingly, the ID information read by the reader devices 531 and 561 is input by the hall computer HC.

  At this time, identification information set for each reader device 531, 561 is output together with the ID information from each reader device 531, 561. Since each reader device 531 and 561 is provided in one-to-one correspondence with the IC tags 303 and 320a, it can be said that the identification specific information corresponds to each IC tag 303 and 320a.

  The hall computer HC executes a comparison process between the management ID information stored as management data and the input ID information. Such comparison processing is as described in the above embodiment. If the ID information does not match as a result of the comparison, the result is stored as error data, and the content of the error data is displayed on the display unit 601 provided in the hall computer HC. The hall computer HC also stores ID information that has not been input for a predetermined period as error data, and displays the content of the error data on the display unit 601.

  In the configuration in which the reading results of the ID information by the reader devices 531 and 561 are directly input to the hall computer HC as described above, the electric power for the reader devices 531 and 561 is provided via the installed control devices 271 and 311. Have been supplied. Here, as described above, the RAMs 503 and 513 of the control devices 271 and 311 receive data storage holding power from the data storage holding power supply unit 602 (data storage holding capacitor 602) provided in the power supply and launch control device 313. The supplied data is retained even after the pachinko machine 10 is powered off. In this case, the power from the data storage holding power supply unit 602 is also supplied to the reader devices 531 and 561. That is, even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut off, the ID information is read by the reader devices 531 and 561, and the read result is output to the hall computer HC. Thereby, even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut off, it is possible to monitor fraud with respect to the main controller 271 and the payout controller 311. The data storage holding power supply unit 602 is not limited to a capacitor, and may be a battery, a battery, or the like.

  (3) In the configuration of (2) above, whether or not to supply data storage holding power to each of the reader devices 531 and 561 is arbitrary. In addition, power is not supplied to the reader devices 531 and 561 from the data storage holding power supply unit 602 provided in the power supply and launch control device 313, but a power supply unit for shutdown is provided in the corresponding control devices 271 and 311. In addition, power may be supplied from the power supply unit to the reader devices 531 and 561. Further, normal power and / or power for interruption may be supplied from the hall computer HC side to the reader devices 531 and 561.

  (4) In the above embodiment, the IC tags 303 and 320a are attached to the main controller 271 and the payout controller 311. However, the IC tags may be attached only to the main controller 271. In this case, a reader device for the IC tag may be mounted on the payout control device 311 as in the above embodiment. Moreover, you may make it mount in the audio | voice lamp control apparatus 272 or a power supply and discharge | release control apparatus 313. FIG.

  Further, an IC tag reader attached to the main controller 271 may be mounted in the board box 273 of the main controller 271. In this case, the attachment target of the IC tag is the same as the accommodation target of the reader device of the IC tag.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, the main reader device 531 is disposed between the box cover 318 and the payout control board 311a in the payout control apparatus 311, but instead of this, the box base 317 and the payout control board 311a. You may arrange | position between. In this case, in a state where the payout control device 311 is installed on the base plate 327, the main reader device 531 cannot be seen, but instead, the main reader device 531 may be hidden on the back surface of the pachinko machine 10. it can. By hiding the main reader device 531 on the back surface of the pachinko machine 10, injustice to the main reader device 531 can be suppressed.

  By applying this configuration to the payout reader device 561, the same effect can be obtained.

  (6) The IC tag may be attached not only to the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 but also to other control devices such as the audio lamp control device 272. In this case, a reader unit (in the above embodiment, a reader device) is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with each IC tag, and the reader unit is provided with a substrate box of a control device to which an IC tag different from the reading target is attached. To house. That is, the reader means for the main control device 271 is accommodated in the substrate box of the payout control device 311, the reader means for the payout control device 311 is accommodated in the substrate box of the sound lamp control device 272, and The reader means is accommodated in the substrate box of the main controller 271. As a result, in order to prevent any of the main controller 271, the payout controller 311, or the sound lamp controller 272 from being discovered and detected, all the controllers 271, 311, 272 are provided. It is necessary to cheat on the reader means, which is troublesome for the cheating person. Therefore, cheating can be hesitant.

  In addition, the said effect becomes more remarkable by performing this structure with respect to four or more control apparatuses.

  (7) In the above embodiment, the reader means is provided as a reader device. However, the reader means may be formed as a reader circuit with respect to the main control board 278 and the payout control board 311a. That is, a leader circuit wiring pattern is formed on a predetermined plate surface (for example, an element mounting surface) of the main control board 278 and the payout control board 311a, and a reader circuit is formed by mounting electronic components. Thereby, compared with the structure which provides a reader means as a reader apparatus, the bulk of a reader means can be made small, and compared with the said embodiment, it becomes possible to achieve thickness reduction of the main controller 271 and the payout control apparatus 311. Become.

  In this case, the reader circuit can be confirmed without removing the control devices 271 and 311 by forming the reader circuit on the surface of the control boards 278 and 311a facing the box cover (that is, the surface facing the back of the pachinko machine 10). Can do. On the other hand, by forming the reader circuit on the surface of the control boards 278, 311a facing the box base (that is, the surface facing the back of the game board 30), the reader circuit can be hidden on the back of the pachinko machine 10.

  (8) In the above embodiment, a ringing wave may not be transmitted from the reader devices 531 and 561 during the game. That is, while a game ball is being fired from the game ball launching mechanism 160, while a game ball is flowing down the game area, while the symbol display is being variably displayed on the symbol display device 41, and from the payout device 358. While the game ball is being paid out, the ringing wave is not transmitted from the reader devices 531 and 561. If radio waves are transmitted during the game, it may become noise and malfunction of various control devices may cause the normal progress of the game to be disturbed. can do.

  (9) In the above embodiment, the antenna unit 306 of the main IC tag 303 and the antenna unit 320c of the payout IC tag 320a are manufactured to have different resonance frequencies, but these have the same resonance frequency. You may produce as follows. Even in such a configuration, since the reader devices 531 and 561 that are not targeted are not included in the propagation range of the radio waves transmitted from the IC tags 303 and 320a, the identification information is confused in each reader device 531 and 561. Can be prevented.

  (10) In the above embodiment, the reader devices 531 and 561 that are not the target are not included in the propagation range of the radio waves transmitted from the IC tags 303 and 320a, but may be included. Even in this case, the identification information is confused in each of the reader devices 531 and 561 by making the reading timing of the ID information from the main IC tag 303 different from the reading timing of the ID information from the payout IC tag 320a. It can be suppressed.

  (11) In the above embodiment, a signal path is formed between the main reader device 531 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311, and payout control is performed based on the result of reading ID information in the main reader device 531. The CPU 511 of the apparatus 311 is executed, but instead, the main reader apparatus 531 and the sound lamp are not formed without forming a signal path between the main reader apparatus 531 and the CPU 511 of the payout control apparatus 311. A signal path may be formed with the control device 272, and the sound lamp control device 272 may execute fraud detection processing based on the ID information read result in the main reader device 531.

  Similarly, a signal path is formed between the payout reader device 561 and the sound lamp control device 272 without forming a signal path between the payout reader device 561 and the CPU 501 of the main control device 271. The sound lamp control device 272 may execute fraud detection processing based on the reading result of the ID information in the payout reader device 561.

  Further, a signal path is formed between each of the main reader device 531 and the payout reader device 561 and the sound lamp control device 272, and the sound lamp control device 272 uses the main reader device 531 and the payout reader device 561. The fraud detection process based on the reading result of the ID information in each of the above may be executed.

  In addition, each of the main reader device 531 and the payout reader device 561 independently executes fraud detection processing, and the CPU 501 of the main control device 271 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 do not execute the fraud detection processing. Also good. In this configuration, the detection results in each of the fraud detection processes may be output to the CPU of the accommodation destination control device, or may be output to the sound lamp control device 272 and the display control device 214. Also good.
