  In addition, light emitting means such as various lamps are provided around the front surface of the front frame set 14. These light emitting means play a role of enhancing the effect of the game during the game by changing and controlling the light emission mode such as lighting and blinking according to the change of the game state at the time of big hit or predetermined reach. For example, at the periphery of the window portion 101, an annular illumination portion 102 incorporating a light emitting means such as an LED is provided. In addition, error display lamps 104 that are turned on when a predetermined error occurs are provided on both sides of the annular illumination portion 102. In addition, a large number of small through holes are formed in the annular illumination portion 102 above the error display lamps 104 corresponding to the speakers SP (see FIG. 3) provided on the back surface of the front frame set 14. .

  A glass unit 137 is attached to the back side of the front frame set 14. The glass unit 137 is not attached to a pair of conventional front and rear rectangular glass plates separately in front and rear pairs, but is formed into a round shape as a whole and attached after being assembled.

  Next, the inner frame 12 (resin base 38) will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the game board 30 is mounted on the inner frame 12 (resin base 38) on the rear side of the window hole 39. The game board 30 is attached in a state in which the peripheral edge thereof is in contact with the back side of the inner frame 12 (resin base 38). Therefore, a substantially central portion of the front surface portion of the game board 30 is exposed to the front surface side of the inner frame 12 through the window hole 39 of the resin base 38.

  Further, at the lower part of the front surface of the inner frame 12 (resin base 38), that is, below the window hole 39 (game board 30), a launch rail for guiding the launch device 60 and the game ball immediately after being launched from the launch device 60. 61 is attached. In the present embodiment, a solenoid-type firing device is employed as the firing device 60. In addition, above the launching device 60, a ball feeding device that guides the game balls guided from the upper plate 19 one by one to the launching position of the launching device 60 by driving a built-in driving means (for example, a solenoid). 63 is provided.

  Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The game board 30 includes a general winning port 31, a variable winning device 32, a starting winning unit (starting port) 33, a through gate 34, a variable display device unit 35, a first special display device 43L, a second special display device 43R, and the like. It is disposed in a through hole formed by router processing, and is attached from the front side of the game board 30 with a wood screw or the like. As is well known, when a game ball enters (wins) various winning ports such as the general winning port 31, the variable winning device 32, the start winning unit 33, etc., it is detected by various detection switches, and is sent to the upper plate 19 (or the lower plate 15). A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. For example, when there is a ball entering the start winning unit 33, there are three balls when there is a ball entering the general winning slot 31, and when there is a ball entering the variable winning device 32. Fifteen game balls are paid out to the upper plate 19 (lower plate 15). In addition, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and the game balls that have not won the various winning ports such as the general winning port 31 are discharged out of the game area through the out port 36. . In addition, the game board 30 is provided with a large number of nails for appropriately dispersing and adjusting the falling direction of the game balls, and various members such as windmills (servants).

  The start winning unit 33 includes an upper winning opening 33a and a lower winning opening 33b as a starting winning means, and a pair of opening / closing members 33c provided on both sides of the lower winning opening 33b. The upper winning opening 33a allows a game ball to always enter, while the lower winning opening 33b is a game that flows down the gaming area by the opening / closing member 33c opening and closing in accordance with the establishment of a predetermined condition. The state can be changed between an open state in which a ball can enter and a closed state in which a game ball cannot enter. As will be described in detail later, the start winning unit 33 includes a first start winning switch 224a and a second starting winning switch 224b that detect game balls that have entered the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b, respectively. When a game ball is detected by the start winning switches 224a and 224b, whether or not to generate a big hit state is determined, and special display devices 43L and 43R (and a decorative symbol display device 42 to be described later). ) Is displayed in a variable display. Then, when winning in the winning / losing lottery (a jackpot), a jackpot state (special game state) in which the variable winning device 32 is released is given.

  The first and second special display devices 43L and 43R are each constituted by a 7-segment display device of a type capable of displaying two characters (and dots), and are installed on the right side of the variable winning device 32. Then, when the game ball enters the top winning port 33a of the start winning unit 33, the first special display device 43L performs switching display (variable display), and the game ball enters the lower winning port 33b. As a trigger, switching display (variation display) is performed on the second special display device 43R. Note that the display contents of the special display devices 43L and 43R are directly controlled by a main control device 261 as main control means described later.

  In addition, after the variable display is performed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R, whether or not a big hit is determined is determined by the display mode (lighting mode) when the variable display is stopped. . For example, when a game ball wins the top winning opening 33a, the lighting mode (combination of segments to be lit) is switched and displayed (variable display, for example, every 4 msec) on the corresponding first special display device 43L. When a predetermined time has elapsed, one of the lighting modes is stopped and displayed (for example, stopped for several seconds). Then, when the jackpot lottery is won, the corresponding lighting mode is displayed when the fluctuation is stopped, and a jackpot state is generated. In addition, the special display devices 43L and 43R are taught not only as to whether or not they are big hits, but in the case of big hits, the types of jackpots are also taught.

  When either the first special display device 43L or the second special display device 43R is performing the variable display or the determination display, the other is turned off (“−” is displayed). However, if neither the change display nor the determination display is performed in either case, “-” is displayed in both cases.

  In addition, when a game ball newly wins the start winning unit 33 during the variation display of the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, the corresponding variation display is performed at that time. It is the structure performed after the end of. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of the variable display to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in the present embodiment, it corresponds to the game ball won in the top winning port 33a and the game ball won in the lower winning port 33b. Then, the variation display up to four times (total eight variation display) is put on hold. In addition, the number of times of holding is lit and displayed by the first holding lamp 46a and the second holding lamp 46b. If a new game ball wins the start winning unit 33 during the big hit state, the corresponding change display is also suspended.

  Basically, the variable display triggered by winning in the top winning opening 33a is stored in the order in which the corresponding game balls have entered the top winning opening 33a and is digested in the order in which they entered, and the bottom winning opening 33b. The change display triggered by winning a prize is stored in the order in which the corresponding game balls have entered the lower winning opening 33b and digested in the order in which they entered. However, when both the variable display triggered by winning in the upper winning opening 33a and the variable display triggered by entering the lower winning opening 33b are held (the first holding lamp 46a and the second holding hold) In the case where one or more lamps 46b are lit), the variable display triggered by the entry into the lower prize opening 33b is preferentially digested. In other words, unless all the variable displays triggered by winning in the lower winning opening 33b are digested, the variable display triggered by entering the upper winning opening 33a is not performed. For example, in the state where one first holding lamp 46a is lit, when a game ball enters the lower winning opening 33b and one second holding lamp 46b lights, the player enters the upper winning opening 33a. The change display that is triggered is postponed, and the change display that is triggered by the ball entering the lower prize opening 33b is performed first. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the fluctuation display triggered by entering the top winning opening 33a is also referred to as “first fluctuation display”, and the fluctuation display triggered by entering the lower winning opening 33b is referred to as “second fluctuation display”. Is also referred to.

  The variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which no game ball can be won, and is in an open state in which a game ball can be won in a big hit state (occurrence of a special game state). Although not shown in the drawings, the variable prize winning device 32 has a large winning opening (winning opening) leading to the rear of the game board 30, a shutter (movable part) for opening and closing the large winning opening, and a shutter for operating the shutter. A prize winning solenoid (driving means) and a count switch 223 for detecting a game ball that has entered the prize winning opening are provided, and the variable prize winning device 32 ( The big prize opening) is switched between the closed state and the open state.

  Further, the through gate 34 is configured such that game balls flowing down the game area can pass one by one. As will be described in detail later, the through gate 34 includes a through gate switch 225 that can detect a game ball passing through the through gate 34. When the game ball is detected by the through gate switch 225, the through gate 34 is started. A pitch assist lottery for determining whether or not the winning unit 33 is in an open state is performed, and a variation display for teaching the result of the pitch assist lottery is performed on the normal symbol display device 41. Then, when a winning is made in the winning assist lottery, the start winning unit 33 (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for a specified time after the end of the variation display.

  The variable display device unit 35 includes a normal symbol display device 41 that variably displays triggered by the passage of the through gate 34, and a decorative symbol display device that variably displays in accordance with the variable display by the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. 42 is provided. Further, the variable display device unit 35 indicates a variation indicating whether the variation display performed on the decorative symbol display device 42 corresponds to which of the top winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b. A lamp 40, the first holding lamp 46a and the second holding lamp 46b, and a holding lamp 44 are provided.

  The normal symbol display device 41 is configured so that “○” or “×” can be lit as a normal symbol. For example, each time a game ball passes through the through gate 34, the normal symbol is displayed as “O” → “×” → “○” →... Is displayed at high speed (change display). Then, when the change display is stopped for several seconds with the “◯” symbol (winning symbol), the start winning unit 33 (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for a predetermined time. The display contents of the normal symbol display device 41 are directly controlled by a main control device 261 described later.

  In addition, when a game ball newly passes through the through gate 34 during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display device 41, the corresponding fluctuation display is performed after the end of the fluctuation display at that time. It has become. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of the variable display to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in this embodiment, it is held up to 4 times, and the hold number is lit and displayed by the hold lamp 44. Yes.

  The decorative symbol display device 42 is configured as a liquid crystal display device, and display contents are controlled by a sub-control device 262 and a display control device 45 described later. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 42, the sub-control device 262 supports the auxiliary design based on the command from the main control device 261 so as to correspond to the results displayed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. Display contents are determined, and display is performed by the display control device 45 described later.

  The decorative symbol display device 42 is provided with, for example, three symbol display areas, upper, middle, and lower, and a plurality of types of symbols (for example, symbols numbered 1 to 9) are sequentially displayed in each symbol display area. After that, the symbols are stopped and displayed in order for each symbol display area (for example, in the order of the upper symbol display area → the lower symbol display area → the middle symbol display area). For example, when the jackpot is determined by the main control device 261, a display corresponding to the jackpot is made on the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, and the symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42. The symbols are stopped and displayed (for example, the symbols that are stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display region, the middle symbol display region, and the lower symbol display region are the same), and the big hit state is started.

  Further, when symbols are stopped and displayed in combinations corresponding to jackpots, the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area, for example, as a preceding stage. In this way, the state where the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area and the variable display is still being performed in the middle symbol display area is the reach state.

  In addition, the variation specifying lamp 40 includes a blue light emitting LED and a red light emitting LED, and the decorative symbol display device 42 displays a variation display triggered by entering the top winning opening 33a. When the display is changed, the light is emitted in blue, and when the variable display is triggered by the entry into the lower prize opening 33b, the light is emitted in red.

  The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 so as to surround the decorative symbol display device 42. A ball entrance 151 is provided in the upper portion of the center frame 47, and a game ball that has entered the ball entrance 151 is formed inside the center frame 47 along the side of the decorative symbol display device 42. It is guided on a stage 153 formed below the decorative symbol display device 42 via a warp channel 152 extending vertically. The game ball guided on the stage 153 falls from the stage 153 to the front game area, or rolls on the stage 153 and then enters the pocket 154 formed at the center back side of the stage 153. . The pocket 154 communicates with a guide passage 155 that leads to a game area directly above the start winning unit 33 (upward winning opening 33a), and a game ball that has entered the pocket 154 has a relatively high probability. The start winning unit 33 (upward winning opening 33a) is entered.

  The game board 30 includes an inner rail component 51 and an outer rail component 52, and a rail 50 that guides a game ball launched from the launch device 60 to the upper part of the game board 30 is attached. As a result, the game balls fired in accordance with the turning operation of the handle 18 are guided through the launch rail 61 and the rail 50 into a game area formed between the game board 30 and the glass unit 137.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail constituting portion 51 (the upper left portion in FIG. 4). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the rail 50 to the game area returns to the rail 50 again. Further, a return rubber 54 is attached to a substantially distal end portion (upper right portion in FIG. 4) of the outer rail constituting portion 52. The game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and is returned to, for example, the substantially central portion of the game board 30.

  In the present embodiment, the outer rail component 52 is interrupted at the upper right portion of the game board 30, and the inner rail component 51 is interrupted at the lower right portion of the game board 30. For this reason, the game area is defined by the inner peripheral surface of the rail 50 and the window hole 39 of the resin base 38. However, since the game ball launched by the launching device 60 may flow backward through the rail 50 until it passes through the return ball prevention member 53, the parallel portions of the inner and outer rail constituting portions 51 and 52 are excluded from the game area. It is burned.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a ball passage unit 70 is provided on the back side of the front frame set 14 below the window portion 101. The ball passage unit 70 includes a lower plate communication passage 71 connected from a payout mechanism portion 352 described later to the discharge port 16 of the lower plate 15, and an upper plate communication passage 73 connected from the payout mechanism portion 352 to the upper plate 19. In addition, there is a predetermined gap between the firing rail 61 provided on the front side of the inner frame 12 and the rail unit 50 (outer rail constituting portion 52), and the ball path unit 70 of the front frame set 14 includes A foul ball passage 72 is formed to guide the game ball dropped from the gap to the lower plate 15. Thereby, if the game ball launched from the launching device 60 does not reach the return ball prevention member 53 and returns to the rail 50 as a foul ball, the foul ball is returned to the lower plate 15 via the foul ball passage 72. Discharged.

  3 and 4 is a payout passage for guiding a game ball paid out by a payout mechanism portion 352, which will be described later, to the front of the inner frame 12, and an upper plate communication passage 73 (upper plate 19). And a passage leading to the lower plate communication passage 71 (lower plate 15). A shutter 68 is provided below the payout passage 67. When the front frame set 14 is opened, the shutter 68 protrudes forward by an urging force of a spring or the like so that the outlet of the payout passage 67 is almost closed. ing. When the front frame set 14 is closed, the shutter 68 is pushed open by the inlet side rear end of the lower plate communication path 71. In addition, the inlets (sphere inflow portions) of the lower plate communication passage 71 and the upper plate communication passage 73 are adjacent to each other, and in the closed state of the front frame set 14, the inlets and the discharge passage 67 are separated by a predetermined distance. A game ball can pass through the gap between the two. For this reason, when the upper plate 19 and the upper plate communication passage 73 are filled with game balls, the game balls to be dispensed flow to the lower plate communication passage 71 side (overflow to the inlet side of the lower plate communication passage 71), and the lower plate connection It will be paid out to the lower plate 15 through the passage 71.

  In addition, the ball path unit 70 is provided with a full detection switch (not shown) that detects a game ball located in the lower dish communication path 71. Due to the presence of the full detection switch, it is grasped that the lower plate 15 is full of game balls (the lower plate 15 is full of game balls and the game balls are retained in the lower plate communication path 71). be able to. In the present embodiment, based on the fact that a game ball is continuously detected for a predetermined time by the full detection switch, an error notification that teaches that the lower plate 15 is full using a display or sound on the decorative symbol display device 42 is used. Is controlled.

In the present embodiment, such identification information is written in a portion attached to the rear surface (rear wall portions 442a and 443a) of the cover side plate-like portion 434. Thereby, even if the board box 263 is not opened from the back frame set 215, the identification information can be confirmed by opening the inner frame 12 and visually recognizing the back side.

  The IC chip 453 with an antenna includes an IC chip 454 (storage means), an antenna unit 455, and a circuit configuration unit 456 for configuring a circuit including the IC chip 454 and the antenna unit 455. The IC chip 454 is formed as an integrated circuit and has a control unit and a memory area. ID information as identification information is stored in the memory area. Further, the IC chip 454 is disposed at a substantially central portion of the seal portion 452. Furthermore, the IC chip 453 with an antenna is arranged so as to avoid the fixing hole 448 of the fixing portion 441. This avoids a situation where the IC chip 453 with the antenna is destroyed by the flat head screw 477 that fixes the cover side plate-like portion 434 (the upper fixing portion 442 and the lower fixing portion 443) and the base side plate-like portion 407. .

  The ID information of the IC chip 454 is called by the control unit and transmitted from the antenna unit 455, and the ID information transmitted from the antenna unit 455 can be received and read by a scanner (reader) formed as a reader / writer. it can. Specifically, the scanner is called by a radio wave having a weak frequency, and an induction electromagnetic field is formed by the radio wave. When the scanner is brought close to the antenna unit 455 to such an extent that the antenna unit 455 is positioned in the induction electromagnetic field, an electromotive force is generated in the antenna unit 455 by electromagnetic induction. In the IC chip 454, the electromotive force is used as a power source, and the ID information stored in the memory area can be called by the control unit and transmitted from the antenna unit 455. The ID information thus transmitted is received by the scanner. Can be read.

  The circuit configuration unit 456 electrically connects the IC chip 454 and the antenna unit 455. When a part of the circuit configuration unit 456 is disconnected, the ID information is not output. In the present embodiment, the sealing chip 451 is attached so that the IC chip 454 is positioned on the movable portion 444 (the left surface thereof) and the circuit configuration portion 456 straddles the boundary portion between the movable portion 444 and the upper fixed portion 442. ing. In other words, as described above, when the seal seal 451 is attached along the positioning ribs 413 and 447, the seal seal 451 is attached so that the circuit component part 456 straddles the movable part 444 and the fixed part 441. It is like that.

  Further, two antenna portions 455 are provided, extending from the circuit configuration portion 456 toward a predetermined corner portion of the seal portion 452, and diagonally of the corner portion of the seal portion 452 from the circuit configuration portion 456. Some of them extend toward the corners. Therefore, the whole IC chip with antenna 453 is disposed obliquely from one corner side of the seal portion 452 to the corner side in the diagonal direction. As the seal seal 451 is pasted across the two plate-like portions 407 and 434, the IC chip with antenna 453 also straddles the two plate-like portions 407 and 434.

  Further, the outer peripheral edge of the seal portion 452 is notched like a saw tooth. Furthermore, a large number of notch portions (not shown) are formed in the seal portion 452 corresponding to the antenna portion 455 and the circuit configuration portion 456. In addition, corresponding to the cut, the antenna portion 455 is also partially cut or bent. If the seal seal 451 is peeled off from the two plate-like portions 407 and 434, the outer peripheral edge of the seal portion 452 is easily broken, and stress is applied intensively to a predetermined cut portion, so that the seal is sealed at the portion. The portion 452, and thus the antenna portion 455 and the circuit configuration portion 456 are divided.

  The RAM 513 of the payout control device 311, like the RAM 503 of the main control device 261, has a stack area for storing the contents of the internal registers of the CPU 511 and the return address of the control program executed by the CPU 511, various flags and counters, A work area (work area) in which values such as I / O are stored, and a backup area 513a are provided.

  The RAM 513 is configured to hold (backup) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply device 313 even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned off, and all stored in the stack area, work area, and backup area 513a. Data is backed up. Note that if data stored in at least the stack area and the backup area 513a is backed up, it is not always necessary to back up data stored in all areas. For example, the data stored in the stack area and the backup area 513a may be backed up, and the data stored in the work area may not be backed up.

  The backup area 513a has a stack pointer, each register at the time of power off, each register, so that the power of the pachinko machine 10 is restored to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned off. This is an area for storing values such as I / O. The writing to the backup area 513a is executed when the power is turned off by the main process, and the restoration of each value written to the backup area 513a is executed in the main process when the power is turned on. As with the CPU 501 of the main controller 261, the power failure signal SK1 is input to the NMI terminal of the CPU 511 from the power failure monitoring circuit 542 when the power is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. When input to the CPU 511, NMI interrupt processing as power failure processing is immediately executed.

  In the work area, a payout permission flag for which the payout control device 311 is set to allow the payout of prize balls, a command reception flag set when a command transmitted from the main control device 261 is received, and the main control device 261 And a command buffer for storing a command transmitted from.

  The payout permission flag is a flag for setting a prize ball payout permission, and is turned on when a specific command for permitting the payout of the prize ball is transmitted from the main control device 261 and received, and is initially set. It is turned off when it is restored before the process or power shutdown. In the present embodiment, the specific commands are a payout initialization command for instructing the initial processing of the RAM 513 of the payout control device 311, a prize ball command for instructing payout of a prize ball, and the main controller 261 having been restored to power. There are three payout return commands to be transmitted in this case.

  The command reception flag is a flag for confirming whether or not the payout control device 311 has received a command, and is turned on when any command is received. Similar to the payout permission flag, an initial setting process or power-off is performed. It is turned off when returning to the front, and turned off when the command received by the command determination process is determined.

  The command buffer is configured by a ring buffer that temporarily stores commands transmitted from the main control device 261. The ring buffer has a predetermined storage area, and commands are stored with regularity from the beginning to the end of the storage area. When commands are stored in all storage areas, the ring buffer is at the start of the storage area. The return command is configured to be updated. Therefore, when the command is stored and when the command is read, the storage pointer and the read pointer in the command buffer are updated, and the command is stored and read based on each pointer.

  An input / output port 515 is connected to the CPU 511 incorporating the ROM 512 and the RAM 513 through a bus line 514 including an address bus and a data bus. A RAM erase switch circuit 543, a main controller 261, a launch controller 312 and a payout device 358 are connected to the input / output port 515, respectively.

  The card unit connection board 314 includes a ball rental operation unit (a ball rental button 121 and a return button 122) on the front surface of the pachinko machine 10, and a card unit (a ball rental unit) arranged on the side of the pachinko machine 10 in a game hall or the like. Are electrically connected to each other, and receive a ball lending operation command from the player and output it to the card unit. In a cash machine in which game balls are lent directly to the upper plate 19 from a ball lending device or the like without using a card unit, the card unit connection board 314 can be omitted.

  The launch control device 312 permits or prohibits the launch of the game ball by the launch device 60, and the launch device 60 is permitted to drive when predetermined conditions are met. Specifically, a firing permission signal is output from the payout control device 311, a sensor signal is detected that the player is touching the handle 18, and a firing prohibit button 18 a ( 1 is not operated, the launching device 60 is driven, and a game ball is launched with an intensity corresponding to the amount of operation of the handle 18.

  The display control device 45 executes the variable display of the decorative symbols on the decorative symbol display device 42 in accordance with an instruction from the sub-control device 262. The display control device 45 includes a CPU 521, a program ROM 522, a work RAM 523, a video RAM 524, a character ROM 525, a video display processor (VDP) 526, an input port 527, an output port 529, and bus lines 530 and 531. And. An input / output port 554 of the sub control device 262 is connected to the input port 527. Further, a CPU 521, a program ROM 522, a work RAM 523, and a VDP 526 are connected to the input port 527 through a bus line 530. An output port 529 is connected to the VDP 526 via a bus line 531, and a decorative symbol display device 42 as a liquid crystal display device is connected to the output port 529.

  The CPU 521 of the display control device 45 receives the display command transmitted from the sub-control device 262 via the input port 527, analyzes the received command, or performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the received command to control the VDP 526. (Specifically, generation of an internal command for the VDP 526) is performed. Thereby, display control in the decorative symbol display device 42 is performed.

  The program ROM 522 is a memory that stores various control programs executed by the CPU 521 and fixed value data. The work RAM 523 is a memory that temporarily stores work data and flags used when the CPU 521 executes various programs. It is.

  The video RAM 524 is a memory for storing display data to be displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and the display content of the decorative symbol display device 42 is changed by rewriting the contents of the video RAM 524. The character ROM 525 is a memory that stores character data such as symbols displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42.

  The VDP 526 is a kind of drawing circuit that directly operates an LCD driver (liquid crystal driving circuit) incorporated in the decorative symbol display device 42. Since the VDP 526 is an IC chip, it is also referred to as a “drawing chip”, and the substance of the VDP 526 can be said to be a microcomputer chip with a dedicated firmware for drawing processing. The VDP 526 adjusts the respective timings of the CPU 521, the video RAM 524, etc. to intervene in reading and writing data, and reads the display data stored in the video RAM 524 at a predetermined timing and causes the decorative symbol display device 42 to display it.

  The power supply device 313 includes a power supply unit 541 that supplies power to each unit of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 that monitors power interruption due to a power failure, and a RAM erase switch circuit 543 connected to the RAM erase switch 323. And.

  The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like through a power supply path (not shown). As its outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in AC 24 volt power supplied from the outside, generates + 12V power for driving various switches and motors, + 5V power for logic, backup power for RAM backup, etc. These + 12V power supply, + 5V power supply and backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like. Note that operation power (+12 V power, +5 V power, etc.) is supplied to the launch control device 312 via the payout control device 311. Similarly, operating power is supplied to various switches, motors and the like via a control device to which these are connected.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit that outputs a power failure signal SK1 to each NMI terminal of the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 541, and determines that a power failure (power failure) has occurred when this voltage is less than 22 volts. The power failure signal SK1 is output to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. Based on the output of the power failure signal SK1, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 recognize the occurrence of a power failure and execute a power failure process (NMI interrupt processing).

  The power supply unit 541 normally outputs an output of 5 volts, which is a drive voltage of the control system, for a time sufficient to execute the process at the time of a power failure even after the DC stable voltage of 24 volts becomes less than 22 volts. Configured to maintain the value. Therefore, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 can normally execute and complete the power failure process.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 is a circuit that takes in the switch signal of the RAM erase switch 323 and clears backup data in the RAM 503 of the main controller 261 and the RAM 513 of the payout controller 311 in accordance with the state of the switch 323. When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal SK2 to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch 323 pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), the data in the respective RAMs 503 and 513 are cleared in the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. The

  As described above in detail, in this embodiment, the cover-side plate-like portion 434 provided on the box cover 263b is formed separately from the fixed portion 441 integrally formed with the edge wall portion 422 and the edge wall portion 422. The seal portion 441 is attached to the fixed portion 441 and the movable portion 444, and the fixed portion 441 is connected to a protective cover 461 that covers the seal seal 451. For this reason, when the protective cover 461 is to be removed from the board box 263, the movable portion 444 interlocked with the protective cover 461 is displaced relative to the fixed portion 441. As a result, a shearing force acts between the part of the seal seal 451 attached to the movable part 444 and the part attached to the fixed part 441, and the seal seal 451 is damaged (broken). Become. Therefore, a trace of opening the substrate box 263 is reliably left in the seal seal 451, and unauthorized opening can be detected relatively easily. Moreover, the structure can also be expected to prevent unauthorized opening.

  Further, for example, when the seal seal 451 is attached to the box base 263a and the box cover 263b and the seal seal 451 is cut at the boundary between the box base 263a and the box cover 263b (in particular, the box When a cutter is installed between the base 263a and the box cover 263b and the cutter cuts the sealing seal 451 in conjunction with the protective cover 461 when the protective cover 461 is removed, the cut surface becomes relatively clean. For this reason, there is a concern that it is difficult to notice the trace of the protective cover 461 even if the protective cover 461 is attached again. In addition, since the cut portion of the protective cover 461 is also on the side of the substrate box 263, from the viewpoint of installation space or the like, a seal seal is usually used unless the sides of the box base 263a and the box cover 263b that are normally arranged in front and rear are visually recognized. 451 damage cannot be found. In other words, just looking at the back side of the pachinko machine 10 from the front does not notice the damage of the sealing sticker 451, and there is a possibility that discovery of unauthorized opening of the substrate box 263 may be delayed.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the seal sticker 451 itself is deformed and damaged by relatively displacing the part of the seal seal 451 attached to the movable part 444 with respect to the part attached to the fixed part 441. Therefore, even when the damaged portion is wrinkled or cut, the cut is not uniform (the cut between the boundary between the fixed portion 441 and the movable portion 444 and the seal seal 451 does not match). Thus, the damage is easily noticeable. As a result, even if the protective cover 461 once removed is attached to the board box 263 again, the seal seal 451 is broken (the portion of the seal seal 451 on the fixed portion 441 side and the portion on the movable portion 444 side). It is obvious that the protective cover 461 has been removed once because of the fact that the cuts) are not matched, wrinkles are generated, the range of the trace is relatively large, and the like. Therefore, it is possible to reliably grasp the illegal opening of the substrate box 263. Further, for example, as compared with a configuration in which the surface of the seal seal 451 is directly damaged by a member interlocked with the protective cover 461, the seal seal 451 is surely damaged when the protective cover 461 is removed even if a manufacturing error occurs. It is possible to avoid a situation in which a member to be damaged due to a manufacturing error does not hit the seal seal 451 and cannot be damaged). In addition, there is no need to provide a relatively sharp member (such as a cutter) that works in conjunction with the protective cover 461 to cut the seal seal 452, or to separately prepare a cutter to cut the seal seal 452 at the time of manufacture. Etc. can be secured.

  In addition, since the movable portion 444 is provided in the cover side plate-like portion 434 located at the rear of the base side plate-like portion 407 and the cover side plate-like portion 434 that overlap in the front-rear direction, the substrate box 263 attached to the back side of the pachinko machine 10. The presence or absence of damage to the sealing sticker 451 can be confirmed simply by looking at the rear side. That is, in the daily life, there is an opportunity to open the inner frame 12 and visually recognize the rear surface side of the inner frame 12 when turning on / off the power, but further rotate the substrate box 263 so that the front side of the substrate box 263 is moved. Peeking is rare. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened, the possibility of finding an unauthorized opening increases, and as a result, early detection of the unauthorized opening of the board box 263 can be achieved.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the movable portion 444 is configured separately from the main body portion of the box cover 263b such as the edge wall portion 422 and the cover main body 421, so that even if the protective cover 461 is removed from the board box 263. The edge wall 422 and the cover main body 421 are not damaged. For this reason, the main controller 261 can be sealed again using the main body of the box cover 263b such as the edge wall 422 or the cover main body 421. Therefore, compared to a configuration in which once the substrate box 263 is opened, the main body of the box cover 263b can no longer be used, it is possible to improve workability and save resources when the main controller 261 is sealed again. .

  The movable portion 444 is provided so as to be sandwiched between the upper fixed portion 442 and the lower fixed portion 443. For this reason, the damaged portion is in the middle of the cover side plate-like portion 434 in the vertical direction, and when the protective cover 461 is removed from the substrate box 263, the seal seal 451 attached to the movable portion 444 and the fixed portions 442 and 443 is attached. On the other hand, by increasing the number of sites where shear force acts (2 lines), the number of sites where wrinkles and the like are generated can be increased, and a seal seal 451 is attached to one movable portion 444 and one fixed portion 441. Compared with the case where it does, it can make it easy to identify the damage of the seal seal 451. Therefore, damage to the seal seal 451 can be found more easily. Further, the moving direction of the movable portion 444 can be defined (only the direction of removing the protective cover 461 can be taken), and a defect caused by the position of the movable portion 444 not being determined (sealing seal 451 is attached). For example, it is possible to prevent the front movable portion 444 from dropping off, making it difficult to suitably attach the seal seal 451 to the movable portion 444, and making it difficult to connect the protective cover 461 and the movable portion 444. it can.

  Furthermore, since the movable part 444 and the protective cover 461 are connected by the breaking screw 468, it is possible to reliably prevent the act of removing the protective cover 461 so that the protective cover 461 and the movable part 444 are not interlocked. Further, even when the movable portion 444 is displaced when the protective cover 461 is removed, the portion of the seal seal 451 that is attached to the movable portion 444 and the portion that is attached to the fixed portion 441 are not completely separated. The sealing seal 451 can be hooked with the breaking screw 468 to increase the degree of damage to the sealing seal 451 (breaking in some cases). Therefore, the reuse of the seal seal 451 can be made more reliably impossible.

  Further, the position of the seal seal 451 attached to the fixing portion 441 is prevented from being displaced by a countersunk screw 477 for fixing the fixing portion 441 and the base side plate-like portion 407. When the movable portion 444 is removed from the substrate box 263 together with the movable portion 461, the portion of the seal seal 451 attached to the fixed portion 441 is reliably left on the fixed portion 441 side without attaching to the movable portion 444 side. be able to. Therefore, the seal seal 451 can be broken (cut) more reliably.

  Further, the seal seal 451 electrically connects the IC chip 454 and the antenna unit 455, and the circuit configuration unit 456 that cannot output the identification information of the IC chip 454 to the outside when the IC chip 454 is divided is connected to the movable unit 444. It is stuck so as to straddle the fixing portion 441. For this reason, when the protective cover 461 is removed, the circuit configuration part 456 of the seal seal 451 is easily broken, and when it is broken, the identification information cannot be read by the scanner. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably grasp that the substrate box 263 has been tampered with.

  Further, as described above, when the protective cover 461 is removed from the substrate box 263, it is necessary to displace the movable portion 444, and in particular, a sealing seal 451 is attached to the movable portion 444 and the fixed portion 441. Therefore, a relatively large force is required to displace the movable portion 444. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the tip of the driver is inserted into the connecting portion between the protective cover 461 and the edge wall portion 422 and brought into contact with the right surface (the surface on the edge wall portion 422 side) of the movable portion 444. A tool insertion portion 469 that can be formed is formed.

  Then, the tip of the screwdriver is inserted into the tool insertion portion 469, and a portion of the driver that abuts on the movable portion 444 is an action point, and a portion that abuts on the rear edge of the cover body 421 (frame portion 426) is a fulcrum. In this manner, the protective cover 461 can be removed. Therefore, compared with the case where the protective cover 461 is pulled by hand, the force required to remove the protective cover 461 can be reduced, and the workability when removing the protective cover 461 can be improved.

  In particular, by allowing the tip of the driver to come into contact with the movable portion 444, a force can be directly applied to the movable portion 444 whose movement is restricted by the seal seal 451, and the protective cover 461 can be removed more smoothly. In addition, since the burden on the protective cover 461 is reduced, the protective cover 461 can be made as thin as possible. In addition, the breaking screw 468 that is screwed into the screw hole 464 of the mounting base of the protective cover 461 and the connecting hole 450 of the movable portion 444 is located in the vicinity of the tool insertion portion 469, so that the driver can be removed when removing the protective cover 461. It is possible to increase the rigidity of the part that is pressed by the driver, and it is possible to suppress a situation in which the part pressed by the driver is damaged and cannot be removed in the manner of the lever.

  Further, since the protective cover 461 is configured to cover the sealing seal 451 as described above, if a concave portion (cover-side concave portion 465) for the tool insertion portion 469 is formed on the protective cover 461, the protective cover 461 is correspondingly formed. Thus, the area that can cover the seal seal 451 is reduced. That is, the plate-like portions 407 and 434 to which the seal seal 451 is attached are formed so that the seal seal 451 is not exposed, or the protective cover 461 is enlarged by the amount of the cover-side recess 465 formed on the protective cover 461. Therefore, there is a concern about an increase in the size of the entire substrate box 263 with the protective cover 461 and thus the protective cover 461 attached thereto. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the concave portion (main body side concave portion 470) for the tool insertion portion 469 is also formed in the edge wall portion 422 and the cover main body 421, the cover side concave portion 465 is made as small as possible, Such inconvenience can be suppressed.

  Further, the main body side concave portion 470 formed in the edge wall portion 422 and the cover main body 421 is located at a position facing the right surface of the movable portion 444 from the rear end edge of the cover main body 421 in the insertion direction of the driver into the tool insertion portion 469. It is extended to. For this reason, the tip end portion of the driver can be smoothly moved to a position where the tip end portion of the driver can come into contact with the movable portion 444 by sliding the tip end portion of the driver inside the main body side recessed portion 470, and the protective cover 461 is used in this manner. When detaching, the site | part used as a fulcrum among drivers is located inside the main body side recessed part 470, and the position shift of the said site | part can be prevented. Therefore, the workability of removing the protective cover 461 can be further improved.

  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 cover-side recess 465 is formed in the protective cover 461, the body-side recess 470 is formed in the box cover 263b, and the tool insertion portion 469 configured by the cover-side recess 465 and the body-side recess 470 is formed. The protective cover 461 can be removed with relative ease by inserting a screwdriver into the lever, but is not limited to such a configuration.

  For example, you may comprise as shown in FIG. The protective cover 701 shown in FIG. 17 is formed with a slit 702 as a tool insertion portion that allows a cutter blade or the like to be inserted inside the protective cover 701 and to be slid while the cutter blade is in pressure contact with the sealing seal 451. ing. The slit 702 is continuously formed over the rear wall portion 703 and the left wall portion 704 of the protective cover 701. In FIG. 17, two slits 702 are formed, but the movable portion 444 and the fixed portion 441 are respectively formed. It is formed in the position which opposes the boundary part. For this reason, one slit 702 is also formed at a position facing the circuit component 456 of the seal seal 451.

  Further, the slit 702 is formed in the rear wall portion 703 of the protective cover 701 to the left of the central portion in the left-right direction of the rear wall portion 703, and the base side plate-like portion of the left wall portion 704 of the protective cover 701. A slit 702 is not formed in the front wall portion of the protective cover 701, which is behind the front surface of 407. For this reason, in the seal seal 451, it is possible to make a cut with a cutter at a portion attached to the rear surface of the cover-side plate-like portion 434 and a portion attached to the left surface of the cover-side plate-like portion 434. On the other hand, even if the cutter is inserted from the slit 702, it is impossible to cut the edge of the seal seal 451 or the part attached to the base side plate-like portion 407, and the seal seal 451 is completely removed by the cutter ( It is configured so that it cannot be cut into two or more.

  When this configuration is adopted, when the protective cover 701 is removed (prior to removal), a cutter blade is inserted inside the protective cover 701 from the slit 702, and the sealing seal adhered to the plate-like portions 407 and 434 451 can be cut. Thereby, when the protective cover 701 is removed, the reaction force based on the adhesive force of the seal seal 451 and the rigidity of the sheet itself can be reduced. Accordingly, the force required to displace the movable portion 444 to which the seal seal 451 is attached can be reduced, and the protective cover 701 can be removed relatively easily. Furthermore, since the seal seal 451 is cut, when the protective cover 701 is removed from the substrate box 263, the part of the seal seal 451 that is attached to the movable portion 444 is attached to the movable portion 444 and is attached to the fixed portion 441. The seal seal 451 is easily cut so that the attached portion remains in the fixing portion 441. Therefore, the effect of leaving the trace of opening in the seal seal 451 and grasping unauthorized opening reliably is more reliably exhibited.

  Further, the formation range of the slit 702 is smaller than the sticking range of the seal seal 451, and even if the cutter is inserted from the slit 702, the seal seal 451 is completely cut by the cutter (the seal seal 451 is cut to the left and right). It is configured so that it cannot be divided up and down. For this reason, when the protective cover 701 is removed, the protective cover 701 is not broken cleanly, but there is a portion where the portion attached to the movable portion 444 and the portion attached to the other portion are connected. , Wrinkles and the like occur in the portion. Therefore, since the sealing seal 451 is intentionally made difficult to cut when the protective cover 701 is removed, a relatively conspicuous trace other than the cut can be left on the sealing seal 451, and early detection of unauthorized opening of the substrate box 263 can be made. It is possible to expect the operational effects.

  Further, since the slit 702 is formed so as to face the boundary between the movable portion 444 and the fixed portion 441, the seal 451 is notched so that the movable portion 444 is easily displaced (the protective cover 701 is easily removed). ) Is more reliably achieved. In particular, since the circuit configuration portion 456 of the seal seal 451 is disposed so as to straddle the movable portion 444 and the fixed portion 441, the circuit configuration portion 456 is surely cut by the cutter.

  Further, since the seal seal 451 is attached to the left surface of the movable portion 444, that is, the surface on the removal direction side of the protective cover 701, if the movable portion 444 is displaced together with the protective cover 701, the seal seal 451 is surely damaged. Will be. However, in this case, a wall of the seal seal 451 is formed on the movable portion 444 in the direction of removing the protective cover 701, and it is difficult to displace the movable portion 444 in the direction of removing the protective cover 701. On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the slit 702 is formed facing the portion of the seal seal 451 that is attached to the surface of the movable portion 444 on the removal direction side of the protective cover 701, the slit 702 is By cutting the sealing seal 451 through the sealing seal 451, the force that restricts the movement of the movable portion 444 by the sealing seal 451 can be greatly reduced. Therefore, even when the seal seal 451 is positioned on the movable portion 444 in the direction of removing the protective cover 701, the workability when removing the protective cover 701 can be improved.

  In the case where the configuration of FIG. 17 is adopted, a groove-like portion may be formed in a portion of the plate-like portions 407 and 434 facing the slit 702. In this case, a gap is formed between the seal seal 451 and the plate-like portions 407 and 434 (bottom surface of the groove-like portion) at the position where the groove-like portion is formed, and the seal seal 451 can be more easily cut with a cutter.

  In addition, a slit or a perforation may be formed in advance in a portion corresponding to at least a part of the boundary portion between the fixed portion 441 and the movable portion 444 with respect to the seal seal 451. In this case, the same effects as the configuration described in (a) in which the sealing seal 451 is cut when the protective cover 701 is removed are basically the same. Moreover, the site | part affixed to the fixing | fixed part 441 and the site | part affixed to the movable part 444 are not completely cut | disconnected among the seal seals 451, and it is good also as at least one part being connected. In this case, the seal seal 451 when the seal seal 451 is cut can be formed with traces other than the cuts such as wrinkles, or the cuts can be jagged.

  (B) In the above embodiment, the cover-side plate-like portion 434 is configured by the fixed portion 441 and the movable portion 444, and the movable portion 444 is formed separately from the cover body 421 and the edge wall portion 422 of the box cover 263b. (It is a separate piece) The structure is not particularly limited to such a structure. When the protective cover 461 is removed, a part of the part to which the seal seal 451 is attached becomes the protective cover 461. What is necessary is just to be comprised so that it may interlock | cooperate.

  Hereinafter, the example of an aspect shown in FIG. 18, FIG. 19 is demonstrated. The cover side plate-like portion 711 formed to project leftward from the edge wall portion 422 (the skirt portion 428) of the box cover 263b is configured in a substantially box shape that opens forward, and the rear wall portion 712 is an edge wall portion. An upper fixing portion 713 and a lower fixing portion 714 formed directly extending from 422, and formed between the upper fixing portion 713 and the lower fixing portion 714, and an upper fixing portion 713, a lower fixing portion 714, and a cover side plate-like portion The movable portion 717 is connected to the left wall portion 711 (side wall portion 715) via a narrow connecting portion 716. In addition, an installation recess 718 that is recessed toward the inner peripheral side of the edge wall portion 422 is formed in the edge wall portion 422 at a position right to the movable portion 717. The vertical width of the installation concave portion 718 is equal to the vertical width of the movable portion 717, and the bottom surface of the installation concave portion 718 is positioned in front of the movable portion 717 (at least the rear surface of the movable portion 717). In addition, in the site | part corresponding to the movable part 717 among the side wall parts 715, the rear-end edge is located ahead of the bottom face of the installation recessed part 718. FIG. For this reason, the connecting portion 716 that connects the movable portion 717 and the side wall portion 715 is located in front of the bottom surface of the installation recess 718, and further, in front of the bottom surface of the installation recess 718 in the connection portion 716. A thin portion 719 is formed at the position.

  Further, a pressing piece 720 is installed inside the installation recess 718. The pressing piece 720 is formed with a connecting hole 721 that opens to the rear, and a left surface (a right surface in FIG. 18) is inclined forward and rightward.

  In addition, the rear wall portion of the protective cover 722 is provided with a mounting portion 723 that is formed to protrude rightward and has a screw hole 724 that penetrates in the front-rear direction. Then, after the pressing piece 720 is installed in the installation recess 718, when the protective cover 722 is attached to the plate-like parts 407 and 434 so as to accommodate the plate-like parts 407 and 434, the connection holes 721 of the pressing piece 720 are installed. Since the screw hole 724 of the mounting portion 723 communicates with the front and rear, the pressing piece 720 and the mounting portion 723 are connected by screwing the breaking screw 725 therein (see FIG. 19A). In addition, after the screw 725 is screwed, the tool engaging portion in which the cross hole is formed is removed, and the breaking screw 725 is in a state of being immersed inside the mounting portion 723.

  When removing the protective cover 722, the protective cover 722 is moved to the left as shown in FIG. At this time, since the pressing piece 720 connected to the protective cover 722 also moves to the left, the left surface of the pressing piece 720 and the right end edge of the movable portion 717 of the cover-side plate-like portion 711 come into pressure contact. Since the left surface of the pressing piece 720 is inclined as described above, a forward force is also applied to the movable portion 717 pressed by the pressing piece 720. When the connecting portion 716 is broken, the movable portion 717 is broken. Is tilted forward as guided by the pressing piece 720. That is, when the protective cover 722 is attached, the sticking surface of the movable portion 717 and the sticking surfaces of the fixed portions 713 and 714 are substantially flush with each other, but when the movable portion 717 is interlocked with the protective cover 722, the fixed portion 713 is used. , 714 is tilted and displaced in a direction crossing the sticking surface. At this time, a shearing force acts between a portion of the seal seal 451 attached to the movable portion 717 and a portion attached to the fixed portions 713 and 714, and the seal seal 451 is damaged (broken, etc.). The Rukoto.

  When this configuration is adopted, when the movable portion 717 interlocked with the protective cover 722 is displaced relative to the fixed portions 713 and 714 when the protective cover 722 is removed, a substantially uniform shearing force is applied over a relatively wide range of the seal seal 451. However, the largest shearing force can be applied to the edge of the seal seal 451. Thereby, the seal seal 451 is easily broken from the end edge of the seal seal 451 relatively smoothly. Therefore, the seal seal 451 can be more easily broken, and the force required to remove the protective cover 722 can be reduced. In addition, when the configuration is employed, it is difficult to attach the protective cover 722 once removed to the board box 263 again. In other words, the movable portion 717 is broken off and the sealing sticker 451 does not appear to be flatly attached unless the pressing piece 720 is removed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation where the opening trace is difficult to understand (even if the sealing seal 451 is not configured to be broken to some extent when the protective cover 722 is removed).

  18 and 19, it is possible to damage the seal seal 451 with the pressing piece 720 without the movable portion 717, but in this case, the sticking state of the seal seal 451 is unstable. There is a risk of causing inconveniences such as deterioration of sticking workability and difficulty in sticking neatly.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the seal seal 451 is attached to the base side plate-like portion 407 and the cover side plate-like portion 434 so that the seal seal 451 is covered with the protective cover 461. In this case, it is only necessary that the part is attached to a part interlocked with the protective cover 461 and a part not interlocked with the protective cover 461. The seal seal 451 is preferably affixed to at least the rear surface of the base-side plate-like portion 407, and the base-side plate-like portion 407 preferably includes a movable portion 444 that interlocks with the protective cover 461 and a fixed portion 441 that does not interlock. . In this case, the inner frame 12 is opened and the rear surface of the inner frame 12 is opened without checking the front side of the substrate box 263 by rotating the substrate box 263 provided to be rotatable with respect to the back frame set 215. By visually recognizing the side, damage to the seal seal 451 can be found. In addition, the seal seal 451 is attached to the left surface which is the surface on the removal direction side of the protective cover 461 and the movable portion 444, so that the seal seal 451 can be more reliably damaged as the movable portion 444 is displaced. it can. However, when adopting a configuration in which the seal seal 451 is not attached to the box base 263a and the box cover 263b, unless the protective cover 461 is removed from the substrate box 263 as in the above embodiment, the substrate box Is configured so that it cannot be opened.

  Further, the sticking part of the seal sticker 451 is not particularly limited, but the identification information written on the surface of the sticker sticker 451 is visible from the rear side of the substrate box 263, and the enlargement is suppressed. On the other hand, it is desirable to provide the plate-like portions 407 and 434 and attach the seal seal 451 therefor so that the accommodation space of the substrate box 263 can be used efficiently. In the above embodiment, the identification information is written on the surface of the seal sticker 451 and the IC chip 454 storing the identification information is mounted on the seal sticker 451. However, only one of them may be used. Further, the seal seal 451 does not have to have the identification information. In this case, the seal seal 451 has a function that makes it possible to determine whether or not the protective cover 461 has been removed.

  In addition, in the above embodiment, the countersunk screw 477 is screwed after the seal seal 451 is adhered to the plate-like portions 407 and 434. However, the countersunk screw 477 is screwed first. Thereafter, a seal seal 451 may be attached. However, in order to prevent the portion of the seal seal 451 attached to the fixed portion 441 from adhering to the movable portion 444 when the protective cover 461 is removed (more reliably left on the fixed portion 441), It is desirable that the sealing seal 451 can be supported by a flat head screw 477 during removal. Further, the part of the seal seal part 451 that is stuck to the fixed part 441 is not particularly limited to the countersunk screw 477 as a part that suppresses the sticking to the movable part 444. The configuration can be adopted.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the protective cover 461 is removed, it is configured so that a trace is formed on the seal seal 451 having the sheet-like seal portion 452, thereby grasping the unauthorized opening of the substrate box 263. For example, instead of this configuration, there is no seal part 452, and the IC chip 453 with antenna is directly attached to the plate-like parts 407 and 434, and the trace of opening is the IC chip with antenna. You may comprise so that it may appear to 453.

  In the above embodiment, the tip of the screwdriver is inserted into the tool insertion portion 469 and the protective cover 461 is removed in the manner of the lever. However, the tip is inserted into the tool insertion portion 469 and the protective cover is inserted. What removes 461 is not specifically limited. However, it is desirable to employ a relatively hard and rod-shaped one (that enters the inside of the support side recess 470b of the main body side recess 470). For example, it is possible to use a non-tool such as a ballpoint pen.

  (D) In the above embodiment, the configuration relating to the connection between the protective cover 461 and the movable portion 444 may be configured as follows. That is, with respect to the breaking screw 468 as the connecting means, the tool engaging portion (first engaging portion) in which a cross hole with which the tip of the driver as the tool is engaged can be detached (removed) during the connection. Then, a cross hole or a slot (second engagement portion) that can be engaged with the tip portion of the driver is formed at the tip portion of the breaking screw 468 opposite to the tool engagement portion. Further, after removing the protective cover 461 (and the movable portion 444) from the board box 263, the protective cover 461 is viewed from the front side in front, and the connection hole 450 of the movable portion 444 (the tip of the breaking screw 468 inside the connection hole 450). ) Is formed in the front wall portion of the protective cover 461. However, when the protective cover 461 is mounted on the substrate box 263, the rear side (inner surface side) of the concave portion is covered with the box base 263a or the like so that foreign matter does not enter the protective cover 461 from the concave portion ( Configure so that the breaking screw 468 is not removed.

  When the configuration as described above is employed, when the protective cover 461 and the movable portion 44 are connected, the tip end portion of the driver is engaged with the first engaging portion, and the breaking screw 468 is attached to the protective cover 461 and the movable portion 444. Can be screwed. In addition, when the protective cover 461 is attached to the board box 263, the second engaging portion is positioned inside the protective cover 461, and it becomes impossible to engage the tool with the second engaging portion. After the break screw 468 is screwed, the breaker screw 468 cannot be removed by removing the first engaging portion.

  When the protective cover 461 is removed from the board box 263, the second engagement portion is exposed, and thus the tip of the driver can be engaged with the second engagement portion. Therefore, the breaking screw 468 can be removed from the protective cover 461 and the movable portion 444, and the protective cover 461 and the movable portion 444 can be reused.

  Although a female screw is formed in the connecting hole 450 of the movable portion 444, a female screw or the like may not be formed in the screw hole 464 of the mounting base 463 of the protective cover 461. Further, in a state where the first engaging portion is detached, the breaking screw 468 may be configured to be removable on the front wall portion side of the protective cover 461.

  In the above embodiment, the protective cover 461 can be attached to the board box 263 again even after the protective cover 461 is removed (the locking piece 462 and the locking projection 446 are provided even when the protective cover 461 is removed). However, when the protective cover 461 is removed, it cannot be reattached (for example, the locking piece 462 is configured to be folded and covers the plate-like portions 407 and 434). If the protective cover 461 is attached in this manner, rattling or the like may occur.

  (E) In the above embodiment, the first sealing portion 404 and the second sealing portion 431 are connected by the caulking pin 405, and the protective cover 461 and the movable portion 444 are connected by the breaking screw 468, but the substrate box 263, Any configuration can be applied as long as the substrate box 263 is connected (caulked) so as not to be opened unless a predetermined trace is formed on either the seal seal 451 or the protective cover 461. For example, in addition to caulking pins and breaking screws, one-way screws that cannot be rotated in the removing direction, or a curable resin that is initially liquid or pasty and has a property of curing after filling into caulking recesses and caulking holes 432. It is good also as connecting with resin etc.).

  In addition, the shape and number of the 1st sealing part 404 and the 2nd sealing part 431 can be suitably set for every model of the pachinko machine 10 grade | etc.,. In addition, the first sealing portion 404 and the second sealing portion 431 can be omitted. Further, the formation positions of the plate-like portions 407 and 434 and the attachment direction (removal direction) of the protective cover 461 are not particularly limited. Furthermore, the rear surface (rear wall portion) of the cover-side plate-like portion 434 does not necessarily extend in parallel with the removal direction of the protective cover 461, and may extend in the intersecting direction.

  (F) In the above embodiment, when the box base 263a and the box cover 263b are assembled, the box cover 263b is brought close to the rear surface side of the box base 263a and the locking portion 403 is inserted into the locking hole 429. The box cover 263b is slid rightward with respect to the H.263a, and the locking portion 403 is locked to the peripheral edge of the locking hole 429. However, the configuration is not particularly limited to this. For example, the box base 263a and the box cover 263b can be configured to be assembled simply by relatively moving in any of the left-right direction, the up-down direction, and the front-rear direction, or can be pivoted by pivoting one side. You may comprise so that an assembly | attachment may be performed.

  When the assembly direction (removal direction) of the box cover 263b with respect to the box base 263a and the mounting direction (removal direction) of the protective cover 461 to the substrate box 263 are the same, the protective cover 461 is attached to the substrate box 263 (cover). Even if it is not removed from the side plate-like portion 434), the connecting portion 433 around the second sealing portion 431 connected to the first sealing portion 404 is broken, and the substrate box 263 is opened by sliding the box cover 263b. However, since the seal seal 451 is attached to the box base 263a (base-side plate-like portion 407) and the box cover 263b (cover-side plate-like portion 434), the seal seal 451 is opened when the substrate box 263 is opened. It will be damaged (ruptured). That is, in the case of adopting a configuration in which the substrate box 263 can be opened without removing the protective cover 461 from the substrate box 263, the sealing seal 451 is attached to the box base 263a and the box cover 263b. And Of course, also in this configuration, when the protective cover 461 is removed from the substrate box 263 (cover-side plate-like portion 434), the movable portion 444 is interlocked with the protective cover 461 and at least the cover-side plate-like portion 434 of the seal seal 451. The part stuck on the rear surface will be damaged.

  Further, not only the substrate box 263 that accommodates the main control device 261 but also the substrate box that accommodates other control devices may have the same configuration as the substrate box 263.

  (G) In the above embodiment, the locking projection 446 of the cover-side plate-like portion 434 and the locking piece 462 of the protective cover 461 can be omitted. However, since there is a means for preventing the protective cover 461 from falling off from the board box 263 (regulating the movement of the protective cover 461 in the removal direction), the protective cover 461 is removed when it is not necessary to remove the protective cover 461. It is possible to prevent a situation in which the seal seal 451 is damaged along with this displacement.

  (H) Although not particularly mentioned in the above embodiment, the movable portion 444 can be attached to and detached from the substrate box 263 such that its sticking surface (rear surface) protrudes from the sticking surface of the fixed portion 441. It is good also as being attached to. That is, in order to stabilize the sticking state of the seal seal 451 to the movable part 444 and the fixed part 441, it is desirable that the sticking surfaces of the movable part 444 and the fixed part 441 are flush with each other. Since the movable portion 444 is configured separately from the cover main body 421 and the edge wall portion 422, there is a concern that a sticking surface may be displaced from the fixed portion 441 due to a manufacturing error or an assembly error. Is done. Therefore, the movable part 444 is designed to protrude from the fixed part so that the part of the seal seal 451 attached to the movable part 444 can be displaced with certainty as the movable part 444 is displaced. It is desirable that the seal seal 451 is securely attached to the movable portion 444.

  (I) In the above-described embodiment, the cover main body 421 and the edge wall portion 422 constituting the main body portion of the storage box (second component portion) are connected to the protective cover 461 (at the opening portion). ) It is good also as the coating rib which covers a peripheral part from the outer side (outer peripheral side). In this case, the cover side plate-like portion 434 (and the base side plate-like portion 407) is cut from between the cover main body 421 and the edge wall portion 422 and the protective cover 461, the protective cover 461 is removed together with the cover-side plate-like portion 434, and the substrate box After tampering with 263, the cover side plate-like portion 434 is bonded to the edge wall portion 422 using an adhesive, and the act of resealing the substrate box 263 without leaving a trace on the seal seal 451 can be suppressed. . Note that the covering rib is damaged when a certain amount of strong force is applied or when it is separated from the cover main body 421 and the edge wall portion 422 (for example, from each wall portion or the edge wall portion 422 of the cover main body 421). It is desirable that the projection length from the cover main body 421 and the edge wall portion 422 is designed to be as short as possible (for example, 3 mm or less). Further, the periphery of the opening of the protective cover 461 and the locking piece 462 may be easily damaged.

  (J) In the above embodiment, the cover side plate-like portion 434 includes the movable portion 444, and the seal seal 451 is attached to the movable portion 444. However, the seal seal 451 is attached to the movable portion 444. You may comprise so that it may not be worn. In other words, when the protective cover 461 is removed, a movable portion that is linked to the protective cover 461 is provided, and when the movable portion is linked to the protective cover 461 when the protective cover 461 is removed, a predetermined mark is formed on the seal seal 451 (scratching scratches). As long as it is formed or broken. Even in the case of adopting this configuration, since the movable part must be interlocked when removing the protective cover 461, a relatively large force is required for removal compared to a configuration in which only the protective cover 461 is removed. There is concern. Accordingly, the tool insertion portion 469 is formed as in the above embodiment, and the protective cover 461 can be removed in the manner of “lever”, or the slit 702 is formed as shown in FIG. Thus, by cutting in advance with respect to the seal seal 451, the force required for removing the protective cover 461 can be reduced, and workability can be improved.

  (K) You may implement as a different type of pachinko machine from the above-mentioned embodiment. In addition to pachinko machines, various ball machines, similar game machines such as sparrow balls, slot machines as revolving game machines, and other types of game machines that combine slot machines and pachinko machines, etc. May be.

[Appendix]
The technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment will be described below.

  As a kind of gaming machine, a pachinko gaming machine, a slot machine, and the like are known. These gaming machines include a control board (control device) on which electronic components such as a CPU (central processing unit) and a ROM storing a control program related to the game are mounted, and a series of games can be performed by the control board. It is controlled.

In this type of gaming machine, for the purpose of obtaining illegal profits, the control board is illegally removed and the ROM of the board (if the CPU or ROM is integrated into one chip)
Many illegal actions against the control board have been reported, such as changing the game content by changing the game, or inputting an illegal electrical signal from the outside to the control board via lead wires etc. It is being considered. For example, an improper measure such as providing a board box to accommodate the control board and sticking a seal seal that cannot be re-attached to the joint between the box base and box cover that constitutes the board box, leaving a trace when removed. (See, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-180917).

  However, the seal seal may be peeled off so that marks (trauma) are not noticeable, for example, by using a solvent or the like. For this reason, there is a concern that the discovery of unauthorized opening may be delayed if such a sealing seal is affixed again after the substrate box has been illegally opened.

  In addition, the said subject is a problem applicable not only to a pachinko machine but other game machines which have the same structure.

  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 more reliably taking countermeasures against improper control devices.

Means 1. An accommodation box comprising a first component and a second component, and accommodating a control device between the first component and the second component;
Sheet-like sealing means fixed to the storage box;
A protective cover that is attached to the storage box so as to cover the sealing means and has transparency;
It is configured as a separate body from the protective cover, and includes a movable portion that interlocks with the protective cover when the protective cover is removed from the storage box.
When removing the protective cover from the storage box, the movable portion is interlocked with the protective cover so that a predetermined mark can be formed on the sealing means.
A game insertion feature that allows a tool to be inserted and the movable portion to be easily displaced is formed in the protective cover or a connecting portion between the protective cover and the storage box. Machine.

  According to the means 1, when the protective cover is to be removed from the storage box, the movable part is interlocked with the protective cover, so that a predetermined trace is formed (damaged or broken) in the sealing means. Therefore, a trace of opening the storage box remains in the sealing means, and unauthorized opening can be detected relatively easily.

  Further, as described above, when removing the protective cover from the storage box, it is necessary to displace the movable part. That is, a relatively large force is required when removing the protective cover, compared to a configuration in which only the protective cover is moved. On the other hand, according to this means, the tool insertion part which makes it easy to insert a tool and to displace a movable part is formed. Therefore, the protective cover can be removed relatively easily by inserting the tool into the tool insertion portion. In addition, by providing a tool insertion part, it is possible to more reliably prevent the protective cover from being removed when there is no need (intention) to remove the protective cover while suppressing a decrease in the workability of removing the protective cover. Can be configured.

  When removing the protective cover, the movable part may be in direct contact with the sealing means to damage the sealing means, or the movable part may be in contact with the part where the sealing means is fixed or in the vicinity thereof. You may comprise so that a sealing means may be damaged indirectly.

Mean 2. An accommodation box comprising a first component and a second component, and accommodating a control device between the first component and the second component;
Sheet-like sealing means fixed to the storage box;
A protective cover that is attached to the storage box so as to cover the sealing means and has transparency.
The fixed portion to which the sealing means is fixed in the storage box has the movable portion that is displaced in conjunction with the protective cover and the fixed portion that is not interlocked when the protective cover is removed from the storage box. ,
A game insertion feature that allows a tool to be inserted and the movable portion to be easily displaced is formed in the protective cover or a connecting portion between the protective cover and the storage box. Machine.

  According to the means 2, when the protective cover is to be removed from the storage box, the movable part interlocked with the protective cover is displaced relative to the fixed part. For this reason, a shearing force acts between the part fixed to the movable part and the part fixed to the fixed part in the sealing means, and the sealing means is damaged (broken). Therefore, the seal of the container box is surely left in the sealing means, and unauthorized opening can be detected relatively easily. Moreover, the structure can also be expected to prevent unauthorized opening.

  Further, as described above, when removing the protective cover from the storage box, it is necessary to displace the movable part. In particular, the sealing means is fixed between the movable part and the fixed part, and a relatively large force is required to displace the movable part. On the other hand, according to this means, the tool insertion part which makes it easy to insert a tool and to displace a movable part is formed. Therefore, the protective cover can be removed relatively easily by inserting the tool into the tool insertion portion.

  For example, the sealing means is fixed between the first component and the second component, and the sealing means is cut at the boundary between the first component and the second component (for example, with a cutter or the like). When the is used, since the cut surface is relatively clean, there is a concern that even if the protective cover is attached again, it is difficult to notice the trace of the protective cover. In addition, since the cut portion of the protective cover is also on the side of the first and second containers, the sides of the first and second containers that are normally arranged in front and back must be viewed from the viewpoint of installation space and the like. If this is the case, damage to the sealing means cannot be found. That is, simply looking at the back side of the gaming machine does not notice the damage of the sealing means, and there is a possibility that discovery of unauthorized opening of the storage box may be delayed.

  On the other hand, in this means, since the part fixed to the movable part of the sealing means is displaced relative to the part fixed to the fixed part, the sealing means itself is deformed and damaged. Even when the offset occurs or is cut, the cut surfaces become uneven, and the damage becomes conspicuous. As a result, even if the protective cover once removed is re-attached to the storage box, the protection means will be protected due to the discontinuity of the sealing means, the occurrence of wrinkles, the relatively large trace area, etc. It will be obvious that the cover has been removed. Therefore, it is possible to reliably grasp the unauthorized opening of the storage box. In addition, by providing the movable portion at a position that can be seen when the back side of the gaming machine is viewed from the front, it is possible to find damage to the sealing means simply by viewing the back side of the gaming machine from the front. Furthermore, there is no need to install a cutter or other means that cuts the sealing means in the storage box in conjunction with the protective cover, or to prepare a cutter separately and cut the sealing means at the time of opening. Etc. can be secured. Further, for example, as compared with a configuration in which the surface of the sealing means is damaged by a member interlocked with the protective cover, the sealing means can be surely damaged (not oscillated) when the protective cover is removed even if a manufacturing error or the like occurs.

  The sealing means may have identification information regarding the control device. In this case, that the sealing means has identification information means that identification information is written on the surface of the sealing means, or in the sealing means, the storage means for storing the identification information and the identification information stored in the storage means are externally stored. It is meant that output means for outputting is provided.

  In addition, “the storage box may be configured to be unopenable unless the protective cover is removed from the storage box”.
