Next, the operation of the gaming machine island 10 will be described.
When installing the gaming machine 1 while assembling the gaming machine island 10, first, a base portion common to any of the gaming machines 1A and 1B is assembled. As shown to Fig.11 (a), a pair of base members 110 and 110 which comprise the common base stand 11 are spaced apart in parallel, and are installed in a floor surface. At this time, each base member 110 may be fixed to the floor surface by an anchor or the like. In FIG. 2B, the guide base member 120 is mounted on each base member 110 so as to be covered from above.

  The guide base member 120 is provided with a support portion through-hole 121 through which the column support portion 112 of the base member 110 penetrates, and the base member 110 is positioned by passing the column support portion 112 through the support portion through-hole 121. Then, in a state of covering the base main body 111, it is fixed with the screws 123. Each base member 110 is arranged away from each other, but is positioned and connected to the position by the guide base member 120.

  According to such a base stand 11, the base member 110 is provided in the lowermost layer, and by receiving and supporting all the loads on the upper side including the support column 20, the load is transferred to the floor by the base member 110 in direct contact with the floor surface. It escapes to the surface and no load is applied to the other members. Therefore, if only the base member 110 is mainly made of a highly rigid metal, sufficient strength can be maintained.

  Since the guide base member 120 is made of paper that is lighter than the material of the base member 110, the weight does not increase. The guide base member 120 not only hides each base member 110 but also positions each base member 110 in a predetermined arrangement during assembly. In addition, after the assembly, even if an extra load is applied to each guide member due to vibrations from the gaming machine 1, gaming equipment, and a lifting device, each base member 110 is individually received by the guide base member 120. Can be prevented.

  Here, if only the base member 110 is not provided with the guide base member 120, the base member 110 moves so as to enter inside as shown in FIG. There is a possibility that the support column 20 supported above falls down. Although not shown, each base member 110 may open outward or move back and forth. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, when one (right side in the figure) base member 110 is lifted, the load is concentrated on the other (left side in the figure) base member 110, and the weight is applied to the other base member 110. Since the base member 110 of the game escapes inward, the gaming machine island 10 may fall down. According to the base stand 11 in the gaming machine island 10, all such problems can be solved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8C, a recess 124 is provided on the bottom surface side of the guide base member 120 so that the base body 111 of the base member 110 is fitted in the height direction and guided to the position. When the guide base member 120 is covered on the base member 110 by the recess 124, the gap between the bottom surface and the floor surface of the guide base member 120 is less than or equal to the height dimension of the base body 111, preferably a slight height. Can only be suppressed.

  Thereby, when the guide base member 120 is covered on the base member 110, mutual displacement can be prevented, and the base members 110 can be guided to predetermined arrangement constant intervals and in parallel. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the guide base member 120 is covered, the height and thickness of the base body 111 can be offset so as not to be greatly separated from the floor surface, and the aesthetic appearance is not impaired. In addition, it is possible to prevent a large gap from which dust or the like easily enters between the floor surface.

  Furthermore, the guide base member 120 is made of paper and can be further reduced in weight in the base stand 11 to prevent an increase in the weight of the gaming machine island 10 as a whole. It is easy to move at times. Moreover, the decoration by printing becomes easy and the freedom degree regarding decoration improves. In addition, it is easy to discard the guide base member 120 that is unnecessary when the gaming machine 1 is replaced. In the present embodiment, the guide base member 120 itself also serves as a base stand decoration member, and decoration can be made in accordance with the concept of the game shop or the gaming machine 1 by decorating even in a position that is inconspicuous to the player. It becomes. The effect of the top plate 40 and the case frame decoration member 50, which will be described later, is also the same for the effects formed from paper.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (c), the lower ends of the limbs 200 of the columns 20 are inserted into the column supports 112 protruding upward from the guide base member 120, and the limbs 200 are erected in the state where the limbs 200 are erected. It is fixed by 113. Here, each limb part 200 is erected in such a way that the first installation part 201 in the middle is aligned at a position above the middle.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), the lower decorative member 223 of the column decorative member 220 for concealing the lower half of the limb 200 is surrounded by the limb 200, which is lined up two on the left and right. It is attached on the guide base member 120. Here, at the lower end edge of the one side wall of the lower decorative member 223, there is an insertion portion 226 which is an attachment means, and the insertion portion 226 is fitted into the receiving portion 126 at a corresponding position of the guide base member 120. Easy to install.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (e), a weight 130 is installed on the guide base member 120. Even if the entire gaming machine island 10 is reduced in weight by the weight 130, the gaming machine island 10 can be stably installed on the floor. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11 (f), a weight decoration member 140 for concealing the weight 130 is attached on the guide base member 120 so as to surround the weight 130.

  That is, in FIG. 5, first, the front wall 141 and the rear wall 142 of the weight decoration member 140 are respectively attached to the front and rear positions of the weight 130. Here, at the lower end edges of the surface walls 141 and 142, there are insertion portions 145 as attachment means, and these are fitted into the receiving portions 125 at the corresponding portions of the guide base member 120.

  Also, there are insertion portions 144 as attachment means on both side edges of each of the face walls 141 and 142, and these can be easily attached by fitting them into the receiving portions 224 at the corresponding locations of the lower decorative member 223. it can. Finally, the upper surface wall 143 is attached so as to close the space between the upper end edges of the surface walls 141 and 142. Here, the insertion portions 146 as attachment means are also provided on both side edges of the upper surface wall 143, and these can be easily attached by fitting them into the receiving portions 225 at the upper end edges of the lower decorative members 223 on both sides.

With such weight decoration member 140, the weight 130 can be concealed, and the decoration in accordance with the concept of the game store or the gaming machine 1 including its surroundings can be realized. Since the weight decoration member 140 is formed from paper as in the case of the guide base member 120, decoration by printing becomes easy, and the degree of freedom regarding decoration is improved.
As described above, the process shown in FIG. 11 is a method of assembling the base portion of the gaming machine island 10 common to both the gaming machines 1A and 1B.

  The weight 130 may have a size that fits inside the lower decorative member 223 so that only the lower decorative member 223 can be concealed. For example, the limb 200 may be made of a material having a sufficient weight such as iron so that the limb 200 of the support column 20 functions as a weight. In addition, in order to prevent forgetting to install the weight 130, for example, the installation position of the weight 130 is at a predetermined installation position on the guide base member 120 (eg, inside each receiving portion 125 in FIG. 11D). May be indicated by characters or symbols.

  Next, the assembly process of the upper part of the gaming machine island 10A corresponding to the gaming machine 1A (pachinko machine) shown in FIGS. The gaming machine 1A, which is such a pachinko machine, has a different outer diameter from the gaming machine 1B described below, and the handle 3 to be operated is in a lower position, so that it is higher than the gaming machine 1B (slot machine). It is necessary to install. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 12A, the position adjustment member 210 is externally fitted from the upper end of each limb part 200, and the position adjustment member 210 is placed on the first installation part 201 in the middle of the limb part 200.
