As described above, there is a pachinko machine as a kind of gaming machine. In the pachinko machine, a game ball is launched toward the game area, and when the game ball enters a ball entry means arranged in the game area, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. Further, when a game ball enters the starting entrance means, a winning lottery is performed to determine whether or not a big hit state is to be generated, and if a win result is obtained, a big hit state advantageous to the player is generated. When the big hit state occurs, the player can obtain a lot of prize balls by putting the game ball into the big hitting means.

Various control boards for performing predetermined control related to games are provided in gaming machines such as pachinko machines. Such a control board is usually arranged in a state of being housed in a case member called a board box. Each control board is provided with a terminal portion for connecting the connector of the connection cable, and the terminal portion is exposed to the outside of the board box. And a predetermined control board is electrically connected with other control boards etc. via a connection cable connected to the terminal part (for example, refer to patent documents 1).

However, in recent years, fraudulent acts on terminal portions and the like have become a problem, for example, an unauthorized device that has entered through a gap in a gaming machine is brought into contact with the terminal portion and the connector.

For example, a payout control board that controls payout of game balls is connected to a card unit or the like installed beside the gaming machine via a connection cable, a predetermined relay board, or the like. The card unit is for a player to lend a game ball. On the other hand, when the player inserts a storage medium such as a magnetic card and operates a lending button, the balance stored in the magnetic card is A loan request signal is output to the payout control board within the limit of the frequency (remaining money). On the other hand, the payout control board that has input the lending request signal drives the payout device and executes the lending of game balls, as in the case of paying out prize balls. Under such a configuration, for example, an unauthorized part is inserted into the terminal portion of the payout control board connected to the card unit, and the payout control means even though the actual loan request signal is not output from the card unit. On the other hand, there is a possibility that a fraudulent act such as illegally acquiring a game ball may be performed by outputting a false loan request signal.

Of course, fraudulent acts on the terminal portion or the like are not limited to the payout control board of the pachinko machine, but are a problem that may be applied to other game machines, other boards, and the like.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems and the like, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of suppressing fraud.

The cylinder lock 78 is integrated with the locking device 75. When the key inserted into the key hole of the cylinder lock 78 is turned to the right, the lock of the front door frame 14 with respect to the inner frame 13 is released, and the cylinder lock 78 is inserted into the key hole of the cylinder lock 78. The locking device 75 is configured such that when the key is turned counterclockwise, the locking of the inner frame 13 with respect to the outer frame 11 is released.

  A substantially elliptical window hole 74 is formed at the center of the resin base 70, and the window hole 74 is closed from behind by a game board 80 attached to the resin base 70. The game board 80 includes a wooden plywood and a sheet material that covers a front plate surface of the plywood, and the front surface thereof is exposed to the front side of the resin base 70 through the window hole 74. In the exposed portion, that is, the front surface of the game board 80, a game area PE in which game balls flow down is formed. As already described, the game area PE is covered with the glass unit 22 (specifically, the rear glass panel 23). In the glass unit 22, the gap between the rear glass panel 23 and the front surface of the game board 80 is slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball, that is, the game balls flowing down the game area PE are the same in the game area PE. It is arranged so that it is not lined up back and forth at a point. Thereby, the ball blockage in the game area PE is suppressed. Note that the game board 80 is not limited to wooden, and may be made of synthetic resin.

  Hereinafter, the game board 80 (in particular, various configurations arranged in the game area PE) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a front view of the game board 80.

  The game board 80 is formed with a plurality of large and small openings penetrating in its own thickness direction (front-rear direction) by performing router processing. Each opening is provided with a general winning port 81, variable winning devices 82 and 83, operating ports 84 and 85, a through gate 86, a main display unit 87, a variable display unit 88, and the like. When game balls enter the general winning port 81, the variable winning devices 82 and 83, and the operation ports 84 and 85, the game balls are detected by a detection sensor described later, and a predetermined number of award balls are paid out based on the detection result. Are given to the player. In addition, an out port 89 is provided at the lowermost part of the game board 80, and game balls that have not entered various winning ports etc. are discharged from the game area PE through the out port 89. In the following description, in order to clearly distinguish the game ball from entering the out port 89, the general winning port 81, the variable winning devices 82 and 83, the operation ports 84 and 85, and the game ball entering the through gate 86 are described. The ball is also expressed as a prize.

  The game board 80 is provided with a large number of nails 90 in order to disperse and adjust the flow path of the game ball as appropriate, and various members (functions) such as a windmill. The flow path of the game ball is differentiated by various configurations such as the nails 90 and the windmills, and is adjusted so that a winning in the above-described general winning opening 81 and the like occurs with an appropriate probability.

  The variable display unit 88 is arranged in the center of the game board 80, and the operation ports 84, 85 and the like are arranged around the variable display unit 88. The operation ports 84 and 85 are disposed on the lower side of the variable display unit 88 (hereinafter referred to as the lower operation port 84 for convenience) and on the right side of the variable display unit 88. The right working port 85 (hereinafter referred to as the right working port 85 for convenience) is provided with an electric accessory 91 as an open / close-type entrance assist device. As shown in the schematic diagram of FIG. 5, the electric accessory 91 includes a pair of left and right movable pieces 91 a and a solenoid type drive unit (electric accessory drive part) 91 b that drives the movable piece 91 a. As shown in FIG. 5 (a), it is possible to switch between an open state in which it is possible or easy to enter the right operation port 85 and a closed state in which it is impossible or difficult to enter the ball as shown in FIG. 5 (b). It has become.

  Referring to FIG. 4 again, when the through gate 86 is arranged above the right operating port 85 and a lottery triggered by the passage of the game ball through the through gate 86 is won, Is in an open state for a predetermined time.

  When a ball enters the lower operation port 84, three game balls are paid out. When a ball enters the right operation port 85, four game balls are paid out. However, the number of game balls to be paid out is not limited to the above. However, in order to increase the advantage of the right working port 85 with respect to the lower working port 84, it is preferable to set the number of payouts related to the right working port 85 to be larger than the number of payouts related to the lower working port 84.

  The variable winning devices 82 and 83 are also individually arranged below and to the right of the variable display unit 88, similarly to the lower operation port 84 and the right operation port 85. For the sake of convenience, the variable winning device 82 disposed below the variable display unit 88 (specifically, below the lower operating port 84) will be referred to as a “lower variable winning device 82” and to the right of the variable display unit 88 (specifically, the right The variable winning device 83 disposed below the operating port 85 is referred to as a “right variable winning device 83”.

  The lower variable winning device 82 includes a large winning opening 82a leading to the back side of the game board 80, and an open / close door 82b as an opening / closing member that opens and closes the large winning opening 82a. The open / close door 82b can be switched between an open state in which a game ball can be entered or can be easily entered and a closed state in which the entrance of the game ball is impossible or difficult. The opening / closing door 82b is connected to a variable prize driving unit 82c (specifically, a solenoid) provided on the back side of the game board 80, and the opening / closing door 82b is maintained in a closed state in a normal state. In the lottery, when the winning / opening execution mode is won, the open state is switched.

  Here, the opening / closing execution mode is a mode to be shifted to when a big win is won. As an opening mode of the variable winning device 82 in the opening / closing execution mode, for example, a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winnings is set as one round, and a plurality of rounds (for example, 15 rounds) is set as an upper limit. Some are set so that the opening and closing of the door 82b is repeated.

  The right variable winning device 83, like the lower variable winning device 82, includes a right large winning opening 302 that leads to the back side of the game board 80, and an opening / closing door 303 as an opening / closing member that opens and closes the right large winning winning opening 302. It has. The openable / closable door 303 can be switched between an open state in which a game ball can be entered or facilitated and a closed state in which the entrance of the game ball is impossible or difficult. The opening / closing door 303 is connected to a variable prize driving unit 304 (see FIG. 11) provided on the back side of the game board 80, and the opening / closing door 303 is maintained in a closed state in a normal state. In the internal lottery based on the entrance to the right operation port 85, when a special winning, which will be described later, is won, the lottery result confirmation mode is switched.

  In the lottery result determination mode, the lottery result (special hit) at the right operation port 85 becomes valid and the lower variable winning device 82 is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode, that is, the transition to the opening / closing execution mode is determined. Alternatively, the lottery result is invalid, and whether the shift to the opening / closing execution mode is avoided is a lottery mode.

  The right variable winning device 83 includes a guide passage for guiding the game ball that has flowed into the right large winning opening 302, a first downstream passage and a second downstream passage that are branched downstream of the guide passage, and a guide flow. A switching member that guides the game ball flowing down from the road to the first downstream passage or the second downstream passage, and the destination of the game ball flowing into the right big prize opening 302 depends on the inflow timing thereof. It has a changing structure.

  Specifically, the open / close door 303 is switched from the closed state to the open state when a special winning occurs in the lottery based on the winning to the right operating port 85, and in synchronization with this, the switching member moves the game ball to the second downstream side. Switch to the guiding state for guiding to the side passage. And if the game ball which flowed into the 2nd downstream channel | path is detected by the detection sensor 325 (refer FIG. 11), the winning according to the lottery result based on the winning to the right operation port 85 will be decided, and the 1st downstream side When the game ball flowing into the passage is detected by the detection sensor 326 (see FIG. 11), the winning according to the lottery result based on the winning to the right operation port 85 is canceled.

  Here, the difference between the jackpot result and the special hit result will be described. When a big win result is obtained by a lottery based on winning at each of the operation ports 84 and 85, the lower variable winning device 82 is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode. On the other hand, if a special winning result is obtained by the lottery, the lower variable winning device 82 is not immediately shifted to the opening / closing execution mode, but the right to perform another lottery is granted again. As a result of winning, the lower variable winning device 82 is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode as in the case of the jackpot result.

  Specifically, when a special winning result is obtained, the right variable winning device 83 is first shifted to an open state. At that time, the winning ball is determined by the game ball having won the right big winning opening 302 flowing into the second downstream passage, and the lower variable winning device 82 is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode. In other words, when a special win is won, a result similar to that of the big win is given to the player when the player enters the second downstream passage. Note that the second downstream passage may be referred to as an “advantageous entry portion (specific entry portion)” when attention is paid to the fact that the winning is determined by entering the second downstream passage.

  Next, the variable display unit 88 will be described. The variable display unit 88 is provided with a symbol display device 96 for variably displaying symbols with a winning at the operation ports 84 and 85 as a trigger. The variable display unit 88 is provided with a center frame 97 so as to surround the symbol display device 96. At the lower part of the center frame 97, there are provided a lower working port holding lamp portion 98 corresponding to the lower working port 84 and a right working port holding lamp portion 99 corresponding to the right working port 85. In the present embodiment, the number of times that the game ball has passed through each of the operation ports 84 and 85 is held up to a maximum of 4 times. The reserved number corresponding to 85 is displayed individually.

  The symbol display device 96 is configured as a liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal display, and display contents are controlled by a display control device described later. In the symbol display device 96, for example, symbols are displayed side by side on the left, middle, and right, and these symbols are variably displayed as they are scrolled up and down. When a predetermined combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on a preset active line, a special gaming state (hereinafter referred to as a jackpot) occurs.

  The operation ports 84 and 85 are arranged at positions close to the variable display unit 88. Since a big win can be generated with a winning at the operating ports 84 and 85 as a trigger, the player pays attention to whether or not to win the operating ports 84 and 85, and to determine whether or not a big win will occur. It is considered that attention is paid to the display device 96. Providing the operation ports 84 and 85 closer to the variable display unit 88 is a device for concentrating the portion that the player wants to pay attention to around the variable display unit 88.

  The main display unit 87 is arranged on the opposite side of the variable display unit 88 with respect to the right variable winning device 83. The main display unit 87 is arranged along the outer edge on the lower side of the game area PE, and protrudes from the front surface of the game board 80 to the front of the pachinko machine 10. The front surface of the main display unit 87 is opposed to the glass unit 22 (specifically, the rear glass panel 23) that allows the game area PE to be visually recognized from the front of the pachinko machine 10, and further to the rear glass panel 23. The distance between them is narrower than that of one game ball. This prevents the game ball from dropping in front of the front surface of the main display unit 87.

  Here, the main display unit 87 will be described supplementarily with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a schematic view of the main display unit 87 as viewed from the front side.

  In the main display unit 87, a main display portion D on which a predetermined pattern or the like is displayed is provided at a portion facing the glass unit 22. The main display portion D displays the lottery result based on the winning to the lower working port 84 and the right operation to display the lottery result performed based on the winning to the right working port 85. And a mouth display section DR.

  In the lower working port display section DL, the display of the variation of the picture is performed with the winning of the lower working port 84 as a trigger, and the internal lottery performed based on the winning of the lower working port 84 as a result of stopping the variation display The result of is specified. When the result of the internal lottery based on the winning to the lower operating port 84 is the winning result corresponding to the shift to the opening / closing execution mode, the change display is stopped on the lower operating port display section DL, After the predetermined pattern is displayed, the mode is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode.

  In the right working port display section DR, the display of variation of the picture is performed with the winning of the right working port 85 as a trigger, and the internal lottery performed based on the winning of the right working port 85 as a result of stopping the variation display. The result of is specified. When the result of the internal lottery based on the winning to the right working port 85 is a winning result corresponding to the big hit or special win, the variable display is stopped at the display unit DR for the right working port, and a predetermined result is given as the stop result. After the picture is displayed, the mode is shifted to the opening / closing execution mode or the lottery result determination mode according to the result.

  Here, on the basis of winning at any one of the operation ports 84 and 85, the display is changed on the corresponding display portions DL and DR, until a predetermined stop result is displayed and the change display is stopped. It corresponds to one time. However, one game time is not limited to the above contents. For example, it is assumed that a single display area is provided in the main display unit 87 and a winning to any of the operation ports 84 and 85 occurs. However, in the configuration in which the variable display is performed in the single display area, the variable display is started in the single display area, and the variable display is stopped in a state where the predetermined stop result is displayed. One game time.

  In addition to the display portions DL and DR, the main display unit D of the main display unit 87 is also provided with a through gate display portion DS for displaying a lottery result based on winning through the through gate 86. In the through gate display unit DS, the display of the variation of the picture is performed with the winning of the through gate 86 as a trigger, and the result of the internal lottery performed based on the winning of the through gate 86 is displayed as a result of stopping the variation display. It is clearly shown. When the result of the internal lottery based on the winning to the through gate 86 is a winning result corresponding to the transition to the electric power open state, a predetermined stop result is displayed on the through gate display section DS, and the display is changed. After is stopped, it shifts to the electric utility open state. In the electric combination open state, the electric combination 91 provided in the right operation port 85 is opened in a predetermined manner.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the number of times that the game ball has passed through the through gate 86 is retained up to 4 times, but the number of suspension is displayed on the main display portion D of the main display unit 87. A holding number display section DH is provided.

  These display parts DL, DR, DS, and DH are visible from the front of the pachinko machine 10 through the glass unit 22 of the front door frame 14, and the front of these various display parts DL, DR, DS, and DH. Visibility is secured by avoiding the movement of the game ball.

  Referring to FIG. 3 again, the configuration of the inner frame 13 will be described. Below the game board 80 in the resin base 70, a launching means for launching a game ball to the game area PE based on the operation of the game ball launch handle 41. A game ball launching mechanism 110 is provided. The game ball launching mechanism 110 includes a solenoid 111 that launches a game ball placed at a predetermined launch standby position, a launch rail 112 that defines the launch direction of the game ball launched by the solenoid 111, and a game at the launch standby position. A ball feeding device 113 for supplying a ball and a base plate 114 on which the various configurations 111 to 113 are mounted are provided as main components, and the base plate 114 is fixed to the resin base 70, whereby the resin base 70. Are integrated.

  The firing rail 112 is fixed to the base plate 114 in an inclined state so as to be inclined upward toward the game board 80 side. A ball stopper that holds the game ball supplied from the ball feeding device 113 at the above-described firing standby position is disposed at a position closer to the downstream end portion (that is, the lower end portion) of the firing rail 112. The solenoid 111 is arranged at a position further downstream than the ball stopper.

  The solenoid 111 is electrically connected to a power source / launch control device described later. Based on the output of the electrical signal from the power supply / launch control device, the output shaft of the solenoid 111 reciprocates in the expansion / contraction direction, so that the game ball placed at the launch standby position is on the game board 80 side, more specifically, the game. It is driven out toward the guide rail 100 mounted on the board 80.

  In the guide rail 100, the game area PE is partitioned so that the outer shape of the game area PE is substantially circular. In addition, the guide rail 100 includes an inner rail 101 and an outer rail 102 arranged so as to face each other with a gap slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball, and a single guide passage 103 is defined by both the rails 101 and 102. Is formed. The guide passage 103 has an inlet portion that is open to the tip end side (obliquely downward) of the firing rail 112 and an outlet portion that is located above the game area PE. The game ball fired based on the operation of the solenoid 111 is guided to the game area PE by moving in the order of the firing rail 112 → guide rail 100 (entrance portion → exit portion). In the game board 80, a reverse prevention member 106 for preventing the game ball reaching the game area PE from going back into the guide passage 103 is attached to the front side of the exit portion, specifically near the tip of the inner rail 101. Thus, it is possible to prevent the subsequent launch of the game ball from being hindered by the game ball that has reached the game area PE first.

  Each of the rails 101 and 102 constituting the guide rail 100 has an arc shape centered at a substantially central portion of the game area PE. For this reason, the game ball passing through the guide passage 103 is likely to move (slide or roll) along the outer rail 102, that is, in contact with the outer rail 102 due to the centrifugal force generated by itself.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the guide rail 100 and the launch rail 112 are arranged such that the entrance portion of the guide rail 100 and the tip end portion of the launch rail 112 face each other with the lower end edge of the game board 80 interposed therebetween. ing. That is, both the rails 100 and 112 are arranged such that the entrance portion of the guide rail 100 and the tip portion of the firing rail 112 are shifted left and right in the vicinity of the lower end edge of the game board 80. Thus, a gap of a predetermined interval is formed between the entrance portion of the guide rail 100 and the launch rail 112 while bringing both rails 100 and 112 close to the lower end edge of the game board 80.

  When the front door frame 14 is closed, a foul ball passage 16d is formed in the passage forming unit 16 located below the gap. If the game balls launched from the game ball launching mechanism 110 do not reach the game area PE and return to the inside of the guide passage 103 as foul balls, the foul balls enter the foul ball passage 16d through the gap. It becomes. The foul ball path 16d communicates with the front door side lower dish path 16b, and the game balls that have entered the foul ball path 16d are discharged to the lower dish 34 shown in FIG. This suppresses interference between the foul ball and the next game ball to be launched.

  A through hole that penetrates the resin base 70 in the front-rear direction is formed on the left side of the firing rail 112 in the resin base 70 (specifically, the side that supports the front door frame 14). A passage forming member is formed in the through hole. 121 is disposed. The passage forming member 121 is screwed to the resin base 70 and has a main body side upper dish path 122 and a main body side lower dish path 123. The upstream side of the main body side upper dish passage 122 and the main body side lower dish passage 123 communicates with a game ball distributing section described later. A receiving portion 16c of a passage forming unit 16 attached to the front door frame 14 is inserted below the passage forming member 121, and a front door side upper plate passage 16a is provided below the main body side upper plate passage 122. The front door side upper dish passage 16b is disposed below the main body side lower dish passage 123.

  An opening / closing member 124 that opens and closes the main body side upper dish path 122 and the main body side lower dish path 123 is attached below the passage forming member 121 in the resin base 70. The opening / closing member 124 is supported by a support shaft provided at the lower end of the opening / closing member 124 so as to be pivotable in the front-rear direction. Further, the opening / closing member 124 is biased to a forward position where the main body side upper dish passage 122 and the main body side lower dish path 123 are closed. A member is provided. Therefore, when the front door frame 14 is opened with respect to the inner frame 13, the opening / closing member 124 rises as shown in the figure, and the main body side upper dish passage 122 and the main body side lower dish path 123 are closed. Thereby, when the front door frame 14 is opened in a state in which the game balls are stored in the main body side upper dish passage 122 or the main body side lower dish passage 123, it is possible to prevent the stored balls from spilling down. On the other hand, when the front door frame 14 is closed, the opening / closing member 124 is pushed open against the biasing force by the receiving portion 16 c provided in the passage forming unit 16 of the front door frame 14. In this state, the main body side upper dish path 122 and the front door side upper dish path 16a communicate with each other, and the main body side lower dish path 123 and the front door side lower dish path 16b communicate with each other.

  Further, on the output side of the MPU 602, the variable winning drive unit 82c of the lower variable winning device 82, the variable winning drive unit 304 (see FIG. 11) of the right variable winning device 83, and the drive unit 352 of the switching member 341 (see FIG. 11). ), An electric accessory driving unit 91b for opening and closing the electric accessory 91 of the right working port 85, and the main display unit 87 are connected. The main control board 601 is provided with various driver circuits, and the MPU 602 executes drive control of various drive units through the driver circuits.

  That is, in the opening / closing execution mode, the MPU 602 performs drive control of the variable winning drive unit 82c so that the opening / closing door 82b of the lower variable winning device 82 is opened and closed. In addition, when the electric combination 91 is won, the MPU 602 executes drive control of the electric combination drive unit 91b so that the electric combination 91 is opened and closed. In each game round, the MPU 602 executes light emission control of the main display portion D.

  The power failure monitoring board 605 relays between the main control board 601 and the power / fire control device 243, and monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power / fire control device 243. The payout control device 242 controls payout of prize balls and rental balls by the payout device 224 based on the prize ball command input from the main control device 162.

  The power / launch control device 243 is connected to, for example, a commercial power source (external power source) in a game hall or the like. Based on external power supplied from the commercial power supply, necessary operating power is generated for each of the main control board 601, the payout control device 242, and the like, and the generated operating power is supplied through a predetermined power path. To do. The power supply / launch control device 243 is responsible for launch control of the game ball launch mechanism 110, and the game ball launch mechanism 110 (specifically, the solenoid 111) is driven when predetermined launch conditions are met.

  The sound lamp control device 143 drives and controls the various lamp units 26 to 28 and the speaker unit 29 provided on the front door frame 14 and controls the display control device 725 based on various commands input from the main control device 162. To do.

  The sound lamp control board 651 controls the various lamp units 26 to 28, the speaker unit 29, and the display control device 725 based on various commands input from the main control device 162. The MPU 661, which is an arithmetic unit, includes a ROM 662 that stores a control program executed by the MPU 661, fixed value data, and the like, and a RAM 663 that is used as a work memory or the like. The RAM 663 includes various counter areas 671 and various flag storage areas 672.

  The display control device 725 executes display control of the symbol display device 96 based on the command input from the sound lamp control device 143. In this case, the voice lamp control device 143 determines the symbol variation display time in the symbol display device 96 and the type of symbol combination to be finally stopped and displayed based on various commands input from the main control device 162. The presence or absence of reach and the contents of reach production are determined.

  Here, the support mode in the electric accessory 91 of the right working port 85 will be described. As a support mode in this embodiment, when compared with the game area PE in a situation where game balls are continuously being launched, the electric accessory 91 of the right working port 85 is released per unit time. The low frequency support mode (the low frequency support state or the low frequency guide state) and the high frequency support mode (the high frequency support state or the high frequency guide state) are set so that the frequency of the state becomes relatively high or low. Yes.

  Specifically, in the low-frequency support mode and the high-frequency support mode, the probability of winning the power combination open state in the electric combination release lottery using the electric combination release counter C3 is the same (for example, both 4/5) However, in the high frequency support mode, the number of times that the electric utility item 91 is opened is set more frequently than in the low frequency support mode. The time is set longer. In this case, in the high frequency support mode, when the electrified open state is selected and the open state of the electric utility item 91 occurs a plurality of times, the closed state from the end of one open state until the next open state is started The time is set shorter than one opening time. Furthermore, in the high frequency support mode, the minimum secured time is set shorter when the next electric character opening lottery is performed after one electric character opening lottery is performed than in the low frequency support mode. Has been.

  As described above, in the high frequency support mode, the probability that a winning to the right operation port 85 occurs is higher than in the low frequency support mode. In other words, in the low frequency support mode, there is a higher probability of winning the lower operating port 84 than in the right operating port 85, but in the high frequency support mode, the lower operating port 84 is connected to the right operating port 85. The probability of winning a prize increases. When a winning to the right operation port 85 occurs, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out, so that in the high frequency support mode, the player plays a game while not reducing the number of possessed balls so much. be able to.

  The configuration for increasing the frequency at which the high frequency support mode is set to the power release state per unit time as compared with the low frequency support mode is not limited to the above-described configuration, for example, the electric component release lottery It is good also as a structure which makes high the probability that it will be elected in the electric character open state in. Furthermore, the number of times of opening is increased, the opening time is lengthened, and the minimum secured time is secured when the next electric character opening lottery is performed after one electric character releasing lottery is performed. By applying any one condition or any combination of conditions (in other words, shortening one fluctuation display time in the through gate display section DS) and increasing the winning probability, the low frequency support mode is applied. The advantage of the high frequency support mode may be increased.

  However, the high-frequency support mode shifts to the low-frequency support mode when the number of games reaches the end reference number (specifically, 100 times) after the shift.

  In the pachinko machine 10, the distribution mode to the low-frequency support mode and the high-frequency support mode when the big hit result or the special win result is obtained is based on the case where the winning combination is made based on the winning to the lower operating port 84. This is different from the case where the winning combination based on the winning to the right working port 85 is won.

  Specifically, in the gaming state in which the lower work opening success / failure table is referred to at the time of the allocation, the random number value (that is, the winning information) for winning the high frequency support mode is “0 to 14”. It is 15 pieces. On the other hand, under the gaming situation in which the distribution table for the right working port is referred to at the time of the distribution, the random number value (that is, the winning information) for winning the high-frequency support mode is 25 of “0-24”. It is a piece. In other words, when winning the jackpot by winning the lower operating port 84, it is assigned to the high frequency support mode with a probability of 1/2, and when winning the jackpot or special winning by winning the right operating port 85, The high frequency support mode is assigned with a probability of 5/6.

  In addition, when it becomes a losing result in the success / failure lottery, it does not shift to the opening / closing execution mode, and the change of the support mode does not occur.

  Next, a characteristic configuration of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The present embodiment is characterized in that a connector cover is provided as a covering member that covers the connector connection portion of the connection cable for electrically connecting the payout control device 242 and the card unit connection board 250 to transmit and receive various signals. doing.

  FIG. 12 is a front view of the control device assembly unit 204. 13 is a perspective view showing the control device assembly unit 204 (excluding the mounting base 241) with the connector covers 700 and 800 removed, and FIG. 14 shows the control device assembly with the connector covers 700 and 800 attached. It is a perspective view which shows the unit 204 (except for the mounting base 241). However, in FIGS. 12 to 14, illustration of the connection cable is omitted for convenience.

  First, the configuration on the payout control device 242 side will be described. The payout control device 242 is provided with a recess 244c along the upper edge of the substrate box 244 (box cover 244a) (see FIG. 17). The concave portion 244c is defined by a bank portion 244f constituting the upper edge portion of the box cover 244a and a horizontal step portion 244g provided in parallel therewith.

  Further, a terminal portion 242d is formed to protrude in the vicinity of the upper edge portion of the payout control board 242a corresponding to the concave portion 244c (see FIG. 17) for connecting the connector CN of the connection cable CC. The recess 244c is provided with a connector opening 244e corresponding to the terminal 242d, and the terminal 242d is exposed to the outside of the substrate box 244 through the opening 244e.

  A connector cover 700 is attached to the board box 244 so as to cover the connector CN of the connection cable CC connected to the terminal portion 242d.

  15A, 15B, and 15C are a left side view, a front view, and a plan view showing the connector cover 700, respectively. The connector cover 700 includes a front wall portion 701 that is substantially L-shaped in front view, an upper wall portion 703 that extends in the depth direction from the upper side portion of the horizontal piece 702 of the front wall portion 701, and the upper wall portion 703. A lower wall portion 704 extending in the depth direction from the lower side portion of the horizontal piece portion 702 so as to be parallel, and a left wall connecting the upper wall portion 703 and the lower wall portion 704 at the left end of the horizontal piece portion 702 Part 705 and a right wall part 707 extending in the depth direction from the right side part of the vertical piece part 706 of the front wall part 701, and these are integrally formed of a transparent resin material.

  Between the upper wall portion 703 and the lower wall portion 704 at the right end portion of the horizontal piece portion 702, and the upper wall portion 703 of the horizontal piece portion 702 and the right wall portion 707 of the vertical piece portion 706 at the upper end portion of the vertical piece portion 706, Between the two, openings 709 and 710 for leading out the cable CA of the connection cable CC are formed.

  Ribs 709a and 710a are formed on the inner peripheral edge of the openings 709 and 710 so as to project inward in the entire region or a part thereof. Further, ribs 711 and 712 projecting in the depth direction are formed on the left side and the lower side of the vertical piece 706. The ribs 709a, 710a, 711, and 712 can increase the rigidity of the connector cover 700 and can make it difficult for an unauthorized instrument to enter the connector cover 700 from the openings 709 and 710 and the like.

  Further, a connecting portion between the horizontal piece portion 702 and the left wall portion 705 of the front wall portion 701 is a chamfered portion 715 curved in an arc shape. As a result, even if there is another terminal part on the left side of the terminal part 242d and the connector is connected to the terminal part, the connector cover 700 and the other parts are attached when the connector cover 700 is attached. Interference with the terminal portion and the like can be avoided. As a result, it is possible to improve the mountability. Conversely, when the connector cover 700 is attached to the terminal portion 242d, workability is improved even when the connector is inserted into and removed from other adjacent terminal portions.

  Double-sided adhesive tapes 717 and 718 as adhesive means are attached to the lower surface of the lower wall portion 704 and the left side surface of the right wall portion 707. The double-sided adhesive tapes 717 and 718 in this embodiment have a predetermined thickness. With this configuration, even if there is a slight misalignment or gap between the connector cover 700 and the board box 244, it can be absorbed by the thickness of the double-sided adhesive tapes 717 and 718, and the mutual adhesiveness is further improved. be able to. In particular, by providing elasticity to the double-sided adhesive tapes 717 and 718, the double-sided adhesive tapes 717 and 718 can be compressed, and the above-described effects can be further enhanced.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the width W1 of the concave portion 244c in the vertical direction (the horizontal direction in FIG. 17) is set to be larger than the width W2 of the upper wall portion 703 and the lower wall portion 704 in the vertical direction of the connector cover 700. ing.

  Next, a procedure for attaching the connector cover 700 will be described. The connector cover 700 is attached from the front side of the board box 244 (box cover 244a) in the direction shown in FIG.

  First, the release paper on the other surface side of the double-sided adhesive tapes 717 and 718 attached to the lower wall portion 704 and the right wall portion 707 of the connector cover 700 is peeled off (not shown).

  Then, the side cover portion 702 side of the connector cover 700 (upper wall portion 703, lower wall portion 704, and left wall portion 705) is covered so as to cover the connector CN of the connection cable CC connected to the terminal portion 242d of the board box 244. Is inserted into the recess 244 c of the substrate box 244. At the same time, the cable CA of the connection cable CC is led out through the openings 709 and 710. The horizontal piece 702, the upper wall 703, the lower wall 704, and the left wall 705 constitute a cover of the connector cover 700.

  At this time, the upper wall portion 703 and the lower wall portion 704 are inclined with respect to the bank portion 244f and the horizontal step portion 244g so that the lower wall portion 704 (double-sided adhesive tape 717) of the connector cover 700 does not contact the horizontal step portion 244g. State.

  Then, with the corner portion of the lower wall portion 704 and the left wall portion 705 being in contact with the horizontal step portion 244g, the right end portion (the left end of the opening portion 710) of the upper wall portion 703 is in contact with the bank portion 244f. The connector cover 700 is positioned by sliding it along the bank portion 244f and the horizontal step portion 244g (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 12). For example, the sliding is performed until the right end portion of the lower wall portion 704 comes into contact with the right edge portion of the concave portion 244c.

  Subsequently, with the upper wall portion 703, the lower wall portion 704, and the left wall portion 705 in contact with the recess 244c, the connector cover 700 is rotated clockwise with the corner portions of the lower wall portion 704 and the left wall portion 705 as fulcrums. Rotate in the direction. Here, when the right end portion of the lower wall portion 704 is in contact with the right edge portion of the concave portion 244c, the corner portion of the lower wall portion 704 and the left wall portion 705 moves to the left along the horizontal step portion 244g. While sliding, the connector cover 700 rotates while the right end portion of the lower wall portion 704 slides downward along the right edge portion of the recess 244c.

  When the horizontal piece portion 702 and the vertical piece portion 706 of the connector cover 700 are in the horizontal posture and the vertical posture, respectively, the lower wall portion 704 is bonded to the horizontal stepped portion 244g by the double-sided adhesive tape 717 and the double-sided adhesive tape 718 is used. The right wall portion 707 is bonded to the vertical step portion 244h of the box cover 244a. As a result, the connector cover 700 is fixed to the board box 244. Here, the horizontal step portion 244g corresponds to the first side wall portion in the present embodiment, and the vertical step portion 244h corresponds to the second side wall portion.

  In the attached state of the connector cover 700, the vertical wall portion 706 of the front wall portion 701 is disposed so as to partially overlap the front wall portion 244 j of the board box 244. However, the ribs 711 and 712 provided on the left side and lower side of the vertical piece 706 do not contact the front wall 244j of the substrate box 244. This prevents the connector cover 700 from closing the heat radiating holes 244k formed in the front wall portion 244j of the board box 244, and does not damage the character notation described on the front wall portion 244j.

  Next, the configuration on the card unit connection board 250 side will be described. In the vicinity of the upper edge of the board box 251 of the card unit connection board 250, a connector opening 251a is provided. And the terminal part 250a of the card unit connection board | substrate 250 for connecting the connector (not shown) of the other end side of the connection cable CC will be in the state exposed to the exterior of the board | substrate box 251 through the opening part 251a. Yes.

  A connector cover 800 is attached to the board box 251 so as to cover the connector of the connection cable CC connected to the terminal portion 250a.

  FIGS. 16A, 16B, and 16C are a left side view, a front view, and a plan view showing the connector cover 800, respectively. The connector cover 800 includes a substantially U-shaped mounting wall portion 801 in front view and a covering portion 802 connected to the upper side portion of the mounting wall portion 801, which are integrally formed of a transparent resin material. Yes.

  The covering portion 802 includes a lower wall portion 803 extending from the upper side portion of the mounting wall portion 801 toward the near side, an upper wall portion 804 provided so as to be parallel to the lower wall portion 803, and a lower wall portion 803 and an upper A front wall portion 805 and a right wall portion 806 that connect the wall portion 804 are provided.

  A connecting portion between the front wall portion 805 and the right wall portion 806 is a chamfered portion 815 that is curved in an arc shape. As a result, even if there is another terminal portion on the right side of the terminal portion 250a and the connector is connected to the terminal portion, the connector cover 800 can be attached to the other terminal cover 800 when the connector cover 800 is attached. Interference with the terminal portion and the like can be avoided. As a result, it is possible to improve the mountability. On the contrary, in the state where the connector cover 800 is attached to the terminal portion 250a, workability is improved even when the connector is inserted into and removed from other adjacent terminal portions.

  Between the lower wall portion 803 and the upper wall portion 804 at the left end portion of the covering portion 802, an opening portion 809 for leading out the cable CA of the connection cable CC is formed. On the periphery of the opening 809, a rib 809a that protrudes inward is formed in all or a part thereof. Further, ribs 801a to 801d projecting in the depth direction are formed on each side portion (excluding the left side portion) of the mounting wall portion 801. The ribs 809a and 801a to 801d can increase the rigidity of the connector cover 800 and make it difficult for an unauthorized instrument to enter the connector cover 800 from the opening 809 or the like.

  In addition, a hook-shaped locking piece 810 that protrudes upward from the inner edge of the covering portion 802 (upper wall portion 804) is formed. By hooking the cable CA of the connection cable CC or another connection cable to the locking piece 810, it is possible to prevent the connection cable from hanging down to the front side of the board box 251 and reducing the visibility of the board. it can.

  Further, a double-sided adhesive tape 818 as an adhering means is attached to the back surface of the mounting wall portion 801. The double-sided adhesive tape 818 in this embodiment has a predetermined thickness. With this configuration, even if there is a slight misalignment or gap between the connector cover 800 and the board box 251, it can be absorbed by the thickness of the double-sided adhesive tape 818, and the mutual adhesiveness can be further improved. it can. In particular, by providing elasticity to the double-sided adhesive tape 818, the double-sided adhesive tape 818 can be compressed, and the above-described effects can be further enhanced.

  Next, a procedure for attaching the connector cover 800 will be described. The connector cover 800 is attached from the front side of the board box 251 in the direction shown in FIG.

  First, the release paper on the other side of the double-sided adhesive tape 818 attached to the back surface of the mounting wall portion 801 of the connector cover 800 is peeled off (not shown).

  Subsequently, the cable CA of the connection cable CC is led out to the outside through the opening 809 of the covering portion 802 while the connector of the connecting cable CC connected to the terminal portion 250a of the board box 251 is covered by the covering portion 802. At the same time, the mounting wall portion 801 of the connector cover 800 is pressed against the front wall portion 251c of the board box 251 while being positioned by the ribs 801a to 801d. Thus, the mounting wall portion 801 of the connector cover 800 is bonded to the front wall portion 251c of the board box 251 by the double-sided adhesive tape 818. Then, the connector cover 800 is fixed to the board box 251.

  In the attached state of the connector cover 800, the attachment wall portion 801 is arranged so that most of the attachment wall portion 801 overlaps the front wall portion 251 c of the board box 251. However, the double-sided adhesive tape 818 is formed with a window portion 818 a penetratingly formed corresponding to a predetermined electronic component 820 mounted on the card unit connection board 250 inside the board box 251. Thereby, the visibility of the electronic component 820 can be ensured.

  As described in detail above, according to the present embodiment, by providing the connector covers 700 and 800, for example, an unauthorized instrument that has entered from the gap of the pachinko machine 10 is connected to the connector CN or the terminal portion 242d of the connection cable CC. It is possible to deter fraudulent acts such as contact.

  In particular, in this embodiment, since the connector covers 700 and 800 are bonded and fixed to the board boxes 244 and 251, it is difficult to remove the connector covers 700 and 800 compared to a configuration in which the connector covers 700 and 800 are only locked by a locking claw or the like. It becomes.

  Furthermore, since the connector covers 700 and 800 are adhesively fixed to the board boxes 244 and 251, in the unlikely event that an unauthorized act of forcibly removing the connector covers 700 and 800 is performed, some trace remains, Since the connector covers 700 and 800 cannot be properly attached again as in the original state, the fraud can be detected early and easily by confirming this. For this reason, it is possible not only to directly prevent fraud but also to prevent fraud from the aspect of being able to detect fraud early.

  Further, since the connector covers 700 and 800 are made of a transparent member, the mounting surfaces (surfaces) of the substrates 242a and 250 can be visually recognized via the connector covers 700 and 800, and the mounting surfaces of the substrates 242a and 250 can be visually confirmed. Problems such as loss of visibility of electronic components can be reduced as much as possible. Of course, it is possible to easily find out that unauthorized parts are attached to the connector CN and the terminal portion 242d of the connection cable CC.

  In particular, the connector cover 700 is bonded and fixed to the horizontal stepped portion 244g and the vertical stepped portion 244h of the board box 244 that are disposed substantially orthogonal to the mounting surface of the board 242a. Thereby, the possibility that the visibility of the mounting surface of the substrate 242a is reduced is reduced. In addition, the force that restricts the movement of the connector CN in the pulling direction is increased, and the act of illegally removing the connector cover 700 and thus the connector CN can be suppressed. Furthermore, since it is bonded and fixed at two places, the mounting state of the connector cover 700 is also stabilized, and the above-described effects are further improved.

  Further, with respect to the connector cover 700, the lower wall portion 704 is horizontally moved by rotating the upper wall portion 703, the lower wall portion 704, and the left wall portion 705 along the edge of the concave portion 244c of the board box 244. The right wall 707 is bonded to the step 244g, and the right wall 707 is bonded to the vertical step 244h. As a result, for example, it is possible to prevent as much as possible an adhesion error such that one of the lower wall portion 704 and the right wall portion 707 is not adhered and the other is adhered and fixed, and to improve the attachment property. it can.

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

  (A) In the above embodiment, the connector covers 700 and 800 attached to the payout control device 242 and the card unit connection board 250 are embodied. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other various boards such as the main control device 162 are used. It is good also as applying to the connector cover attached to the board | substrate box to accommodate.

  (B) The configuration of the connector cover 700 and the like is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be changed or omitted as appropriate according to the shape, dimensions, and the like of the board box 244 and the like. For example, the vertical piece 706 and the right wall 707 of the front wall 701 of the connector cover 700 may be omitted, and the connector cover 700 may be bonded and fixed at one location. It is good also as a structure which abbreviate | omitted the various ribs of the connector covers 700 and 800. Further, the double-sided adhesive tape 818 of the connector cover 800 has a window portion 818a corresponding to the electronic component 820. However, the window portion 818a may be omitted or the electronic component 820 may be visually recognized instead. It is good also as a structure which formed the possible notch part.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the double-sided adhesive tapes 717, 718 and the like are employed as the bonding means, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which an adhesive is applied and bonded and fixed may be employed.

  (D) You may implement as a different type of pachinko machine from the above-mentioned embodiment. Of course, the present invention is not limited to pachinko machines, and may be implemented as other gaming machines such as an arrangement ball machine, a sparrow ball, and a slot machine.

  Hereinafter, the technical idea that is not described in the claims and that can be grasped from the above embodiment will be described together with the effects thereof.

Means 1. A board having a terminal portion (board side connector) for transmitting or receiving a signal to or from a predetermined electrical device;
An encapsulation member (substrate box) that encapsulates the substrate with the terminal portion exposed;
In the gaming machine in which a connector of a connection cable (cable side connector) electrically connected to the electrical device is connected to the terminal portion,
A covering member (connector cover) that covers the connector of the connection cable connected to the terminal portion,
A gaming machine, wherein the covering member is bonded and fixed to the encapsulating member by a predetermined bonding means.

  According to the above means 1, by providing a covering member that covers the connector of the connection cable connected to the terminal portion, for example, an unauthorized device that has entered through a gap in the gaming machine is brought into contact with the terminal portion or the connector. Action can be deterred.

  As a method of fixing the covering member to the enveloping member, for example, a method of providing an engaging claw or the like on the covering member and locking the engaging pawl to the enclosing member can be considered. However, in this method, there is a possibility that the covering member can be easily removed by releasing the locking state of the locking claw.

  In this respect, according to the present means, the covering member is bonded and fixed to the encapsulating member, so that it is difficult to remove the covering member. Moreover, workability is good because it is only necessary to bond the covering member to the encapsulating member.

  Furthermore, since the covering member is adhesively fixed to the enveloping member, in the unlikely event that an illegal act is performed such as forcibly removing the covering member, some trace remains and the covering member is again in its original state. Therefore, the fraudulent act can be detected early and easily by confirming it. For this reason, it is possible not only to directly prevent fraud but also to prevent fraud from the aspect of being able to detect fraud early.

  Examples of the “adhesion means” include a double-sided adhesive tape and an adhesive. Examples of the “electric device” include other boards (control board, relay board, etc.) that transmit or receive signals to / from the “board”, detection switches, and the like.

  Mean 2. The gaming machine according to means 1, wherein the covering member is constituted by a transparent member or a semi-transparent member.

  Generally, in gaming machines such as pachinko machines, the encapsulating member (substrate box) itself is made of a transparent member or the like from the viewpoint of preventing fraud. Therefore, even when the enveloping member is attached to the gaming machine main body, the electronic component on the substrate surface (mounting surface) can be easily confirmed from the outside of the enveloping member. Therefore, even if an illegal act such as replacement of an electronic component such as a ROM is performed, the illegal act can be detected at an early stage, and such an illegal act is suppressed.

  Here, when the covering member is bonded and fixed to the encapsulating member, the visibility of the substrate surface may be reduced.
