Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a slot machine (a pachislot machine) or a pachinko machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine equipped with a board case that houses a control board.

  Control boards that control game jackpots and winning devices are generally stored in a board case so that they cannot be opened by anyone other than the administrator so that they cannot be tampered with from the outside. Recently, in order to further enhance security, the substrate case is sealed with a so-called caulking structure so that the substrate case cannot be opened unless it is broken once sealed (for example, Patent Document 1). Once the caulking operation is performed and the sealed substrate case is opened, the trace remains, so that the opening history can be seen later.

The game medal insertion lamp 129 lights up the number of lamps corresponding to the number of inserted medals, and when a prescribed number of medals are inserted, the game start is informed that the game can be started. The lamp 121 is turned on.

  The medal slot 141 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 130 to 132, or an actual medal can be inserted (insertion operation) from the medal insertion slot 134. is there. The medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 141 pass through a medal selector provided in the slot machine 100, and regular medals are selected and the passage of medals is detected.

  The stored number display 125 is a display for displaying the number of medals stored electronically in the slot machine 100. The game information display 126 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 127 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 125, the game information display 126, and the payout number display 127 are 7-segment (SEG) displays.

  The start lever 135 is a lever type switch for starting the rotation of the reels 110 to 112. That is, when a desired number of medals is inserted into the medal insertion slot 134 or the bet buttons 130 to 132 are operated and the start lever 135 is operated, the reels 110 to 112 start rotating. The operation on the start lever 135 is referred to as a game start operation.

  The stop button unit 136 is provided with stop buttons 137 to 139. The stop buttons 137 to 139 are button-type switches for individually stopping the reels 110 to 112 that have started rotating by operating the start lever 135, and are associated with the reels 110 to 112. Hereinafter, the operation on the stop buttons 137 to 139 is referred to as a stop operation, the first stop operation is referred to as a first stop operation, the next stop operation is referred to as a second stop operation, and the last stop operation is referred to as a third stop operation.

  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 137 to 139 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 control relating to the progress of the game of the slot machine 100 is performed by a control board on which a CPU or the like is mounted. Hereinafter, a substrate case that houses the control substrate will be described.

<Board case>
2 is a perspective view of a substrate case 1 provided inside the slot machine 100 and accommodating the control board 2, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the board case 1 and the control board 2, and FIG. 4 is a case member 10 in a separated state. , 20 is a perspective view seen from the back side. The control board 2 is a board on which various electronic components such as an IC (integrated circuit) such as a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and a resistor are mounted, and controls the progress of the game of the slot machine 100.

  The substrate case 1 is configured in a box shape by combining the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 with each other, and an accommodation space for accommodating the control substrate 2 is formed therein. The upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 are provided with several locking portions 14 and 24 for fitting them together, and the corresponding locking portions 14 and 24 are locked to each other so that the board case 1 Is completed.

  The upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 are preferably made of a transparent or translucent plastic material. In the case of this embodiment, the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 are assumed to be composed entirely of transparent members.

  The IC tag seal 3 is a seal having an IC tag that stores individual information of the control board 2 and can perform wireless communication without contact, and is attached to the board case 1.

  The substrate case 1 includes an insertion portion 12 provided on the upper case member 10, an insertion portion 22 provided on the lower case member 20, and a sealing portion that is irreversibly destroyed when the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 are separated. A sealing pin P1 is provided. The sealing pin P1 passes through the insertion portion 12 and fits into the insertion portion 22 so as not to be detached.

  In order to separate the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 with the sealing pin P1 fitted, it is necessary to cut the insertion portion 12 from the upper case member 10 and cut the tip of the sealing pin P1. That trace will remain.

  Further, the substrate case 1 has an insertion portion 13 provided on the upper case member 10, an insertion portion 23 provided on the lower case member 20, and a seal as sealing portions that are irreversibly destroyed when the substrate case 1 is separated from the slot machine 100. A pin P2 is provided. The sealing pin P2 is fitted to the insertion portion 13 so as not to be detached. The insertion portion 23 is a through hole forming portion through which the tip of the sealing pin P2 passes and protrudes to the back surface of the lower case member 20.

  The sealing pin P2 engages with a mounting member (not shown) inside the slot machine 100 on which the substrate case 1 is mounted. Although details are omitted, in order to remove the substrate case 1 from the mounting member in a state where the sealing pin P2 is inserted, it is necessary to remove the sealing pin P2 by cutting the insertion portion 13 from the upper case member 10. That trace will remain.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the control board 2 is sealed by the board case 1 in order to make it difficult to replace the control board 2 with an unauthorized board. However, there is an illegal act of reproducing the substrate case 1 by taking out the upper case member 10, the lower case member 20, and the sealing pins P1 and P2 from the plurality of substrate cases 1 so as not to leave any damage marks.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as described below, a mechanism for determining whether the combination of the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 is correct or not is provided, and the substrate case 1 is illegally regenerated (hereinafter referred to as an illegally regenerated product). It is possible to determine whether or not.

  The upper case member 10 includes an identifier forming unit 11, and the lower case member 20 includes an identifier forming unit 21 provided to face the identifier forming unit 11. In the case of this embodiment, the identifier forming portions 11 and 12 are both plate-shaped, and the contact surfaces 11a and 21a that are the inner surfaces when the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 are combined with each other are in contact with each other. ing.

  Identifiers SY1 and SY2 for determining whether the combination of the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 is correct are formed on the contact surfaces 11a and 21a, respectively. 5A to 5C are explanatory diagrams of the identifier forming units 11 and 12 and the identifiers SY1 and SY2.

  5A shows the identifier forming unit 11 alone, FIG. 5B shows the identifier forming unit 21 alone, and FIG. 5C shows the combination of the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 with each other. The state where the forming unit 11 and the identifier forming unit 21 overlap each other is shown.

  The identifiers SY1 and SY2 can be formed by, for example, laser marking or printing using ink, sticking a seal, simultaneous molding with a case member using a mold, or the like. The identifiers SY1 and SY2 can be letters, numbers, symbols, figures, combinations thereof, or the like. In the examples of FIGS. 5A and 5B, the identifiers SY1 and SY2 are composed of letters (A) and a string of numbers (012345).

  Whether the identifiers SY1 and SY2 are, for example, unique identifiers (for example, manufacturing numbers and management numbers) assigned to the respective board cases 1 and collated with each other, and whether these are illegally reproduced products together with the serial management of the board case 1 It can be determined whether or not. However, the identifiers SY1 and SY2 may be unique identifiers assigned to the respective substrate cases 1, or may be unique identifiers for each group such as a store unit or a region unit. Even in this case, it is possible to discriminate illegally reproduced products reproduced from a plurality of substrate cases 1 in different groups, and there is a certain effect in finding and suppressing illegal acts.

  When the identifiers SY1 and SY2 are collated, if they are formed in different parts of the substrate case 1 and it is necessary to move the line of sight, the collation is troublesome. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the identifier forming units 11 and 21 are arranged to face each other as described above, and the identifier SY appears by overlapping the identifiers SY1 and SY2 (FIG. 5C).

  Here, the identifier SY2 is an identifier SY1 that appears to surround the identifier SY1 when viewed from the direction in which the identifier forming portions 11 and 21 overlap (in the present embodiment, the normal direction of the contact surfaces 11a and 21a). It has an edge portion similar to the outer shape. For this reason, the identifier SY appears as an identifier bordered by the identifier SY1. FIG. 6A shows an example of the identifier SY that appears when the combination is correct.

  In the example shown in the figure, the identifier SY2 is similar to the outer shape of the identifier SY1 and is slightly larger. As a result, the identifier SY1 and the identifier SY2 do not overlap with each other, and the identifier SY2 forms an edge. Is located outside the edge constituting the identifier SY1.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the identifiers SY1 and SY2 appear as the identifier SY at the same position, so that collation is easy and space saving can be achieved, and the edges of each other do not overlap, so the identifier SY1 And the presence of SY2 can be confirmed, so that oversight can be avoided. In this embodiment, the identifier SY1 is formed on the upper case member 10 side and the identifier SY2 is formed on the lower case member 20 side, but it goes without saying that the reverse relationship may be used.

  FIG. 6B shows an example of the identifier SY that appears when the combination is incorrect. In the example shown in the figure, the identifier SY1 is “A012345”, and the identifier SY2 ′ is “B123450”. The identifier SY1 and the identifier SY2 'overlap with each other, and the identifier SY' does not appear as an identifier bordered by the identifier SY1. Therefore, it can be immediately determined that the product is illegally reproduced.

  Various forms can be adopted for the identifier SY1 and the identifier SY2. 7A to 7D are diagrams illustrating configuration examples of the identifiers SY1 and SY2, and both illustrate examples of the identifier SY2 that can be applied when the identifier SY1 is “A”. The example of A) is an example in which an edge portion whose identifier SY2 is similar to the outer shape of the identifier SY1 is indicated by a line, and is similar to the example shown in FIGS. ) Is an example in which the edge portion of the identifier SY2 is similar to the outer shape of the identifier SY1 is indicated by a line, but the edge portion is also formed in the inner portion of the identifier SY1, and the similar shape of the whole identifier SY1 It has become.

  7A and 7B, the identifier SY1 and the identifier SY2 have different line thicknesses (the identifier SY2 is thicker), and the identifier SY1 is distinguished from the identifier SY2. Is facilitated by the thickness of the line.

  The example of FIG. 7 is an example in which the edge portion of the identifier SY2 similar to the outer shape of the identifier SY1 is shown in a die-cut shape or a white shape, and the periphery is colored, and the edge of the die-cut shape or the white portion is shown. Constitutes a border. In this example, the inner side is colored in the identifier SY2 in the example of FIG.

  FIGS. 8A and 8B are diagrams showing a configuration example of the identifiers SY1 and SY2, and both show an example in which the identifier SY1 is a figure (circle). In the example of FIG. 8A, the identifier SY2 is concentric with the identifier SY1, and the diameter is increased to make the coloring different. In the example of FIG. 8B, the identifier SY2 is concentric with the identifier SY1. Thus, the identifiers SY1 and SY2 can adopt various forms.

  Next, in order for the identifier SY to appear, the identifier forming portions 11 and 21 do not necessarily have to be in contact with each other, but are in contact with each other as in the present embodiment, and the contact surfaces 11a and 21a. When the identifiers SY1 and SY2 are formed, the identifier SY appears more clearly and the visibility is better.

  The identifiers SY1 and SY2 can be formed on the outer surface of the identifier forming portions 11 and 21, but by forming the identifiers SY1 and SY2 on the portions (contact surfaces 11a and 21a) that are the inner surfaces as in the present embodiment, Protection can be achieved.

  In order for the identifier SY to appear, it is only necessary that the identifier on the back side can be seen through the identifier forming portion on the front side in the viewing direction. In the case of the present embodiment, the identifier forming portions 11 and 21 are integrally formed with the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20, respectively, and both are transparent, but at least any of the identifier forming portions 11 and 21. One of them may be formed of a transparent or translucent member, and the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 may be separate from each other in terms of molding.

  When the identifier forming units 11 and 21 are transparent or translucent, the contrast with the back of the identifier forming units 11 and 21 is weak and the identifier SY may be difficult to visually recognize. In particular, when the identifier SY is transparent as in the present embodiment, the identifier SY is visually recognized. It may be difficult. Therefore, it is preferable to stick an opaque seal on one outer surface of the identifier forming portions 11 and 21.

  In the present embodiment, an opaque seal 25 is attached to the outer surface of the identifier forming unit 21. When viewed from the direction in which the identifier forming units 11 and 21 overlap, the seal 25 is positioned behind the identifier SY, and the identifier SY is easily visible. In the present embodiment, in order to protect the seal 25, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer surface of the identifier forming portion 21 serving as the seal attachment surface is recessed so that the periphery or one stage is formed. Moreover, the structure which affixes the seal | sticker 25 on the outer surface of the identifier formation part 11 may be sufficient.

  Another method for improving the visibility of the identifier SY is to use the identifiers SY1 and SY2 as colored identifiers. In this case, the identifiers SY1 and SY2 may be colored and transparent. Further, by making the identifiers SY1 and SY2 different from each other, it becomes easier to visually distinguish the identifier SY1 portion and the identifier SY2 portion in the identifier SY, and the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 This makes it easy to determine whether the combination is correct. As a coloring method, in addition to application of paint, for example, when identifiers SY1 and SY2 are formed by laser marking, coloring by the burnt color may be used.

Second Embodiment
In the first embodiment, the upper case member 10 and the lower case member 20 are provided with the identifier forming portions 11 and 21, respectively, to determine whether the combination of the two is correct or not. Whether the combination with 2 is correct or not can also be determined.

  Specifically, the substrate case 1 and the control substrate 1 are provided with identifier forming portions corresponding to the identifier forming portions 11 and 21 so as to face each other, with one identifier corresponding to the identifier SY1 and the other identifier SY2. Are respectively formed.

  The identifier forming portion provided in the substrate case 1 may be either the upper case member 10 or the lower case member 20. However, since the control substrate 1 is usually opaque, the identifier forming portion on the substrate case 1 side is transparent or translucent. To do.

  With such a configuration, an identifier corresponding to the identifier SY appears in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Therefore, by confirming this, it is possible to determine whether the combination of the substrate case 1 and the control substrate 2 is correct or not. it can.
