Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  Pachinko gaming machines and slot machines are known as a type of gaming machine. These gaming machines include a control board on which electronic components such as a CPU (central processing unit) and a ROM storing control programs related to gaming are mounted, and a series of games are controlled by the control board. . In recent years, there has also been one in which a CPU and a ROM are integrated into a single chip and mounted on a control board.

In this type of gaming machine, in order to obtain an illegal profit, the control board is unfairly removed and the ROM in the board (in the case where the CPU and ROM are integrated into one chip, the chip is replaced) A number of fraudulent actions against control boards, such as changing the contents, have been reported, and various types of fraud countermeasures have been considered. For example, the substrate box is formed of a transparent case so that the state of the control substrate can be easily viewed from the outside, or the substrate box is provided with a sealing structure (so-called caulking structure) and broken when opening the substrate box Anti-corrosion measures are taken such as leaving an opening history due to the above, or attaching a sealing seal which can not be re-applied and which leaves traces when peeled off, at the junction of a pair of upper and lower case bodies constituting a substrate box. (See, for example, Patent Document 1).

However, even if the above-mentioned fraud measures are taken, fraud is still being conducted .

  First, the invention group that can be extracted from the present embodiment will be divided and shown as means n (n = 1, 2, 3...), And these will be described while showing effects etc. as necessary. In the following, for ease of understanding, the corresponding configuration in the present embodiment is appropriately described in parentheses or the like, but the present invention is not limited to the specific configuration illustrated in the parentheses or the like.

Means 1. Control board device (main control) having a plurality of separable case bodies (box base 280, box cover 290) and a control board (main board 270) accommodated in an internal space formed by the plurality of case bodies A gaming machine provided with a device 271) and pasting a seal (seal seal 330) so as to straddle the boundary between the case bodies,
The seal is
A rectangular base member (base sheet 331) provided with a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 332) on the back side and having a brittleness to a degree that the stress is accompanied by the force of peeling off the seal;
An IC chip (IC chip 333a) provided on the back side of the base member and storing identification information (ID information);
Similarly, it is provided on the back side of the base member, has a brittleness that a portion is broken by the stress accompanying the force to peel off the seal, and the identification information stored in the IC chip is read against the reader (scanner). And a long antenna (antenna portion 333b) that enables transmission.
The antenna extends from one side to the other side of the base member so that the longitudinal direction thereof intersects all the side directions of the base member and straddles the boundary between the case bodies together with the base member. A game machine characterized in that it is arranged as described above.

  In the gaming machine, the seal provided on the control board device is provided with an IC chip and an antenna on the back side of the base member, and the antenna can transmit identification information stored in the IC chip to the reader. It has become. And since the said seal | sticker is stuck so that the boundary between case bodies which accommodate a control board may be straddled, in order to make a case body separate, it is necessary to peel off a seal from a case body.

  In this case, according to the means 1, since the base member is brittle enough to be partially broken by the stress accompanying the force of peeling the seal, the seal peels off when the seal is peeled from its corner. The stress associated with the force is concentrated at the corner portion of the base member, and the base member is largely broken. In this case, it is clear that the seal has been tampered with, that is, the evidence that the control substrate has been tampered with. However, in the configuration, by peeling off from one entire side of the seal along a direction perpendicular to that side, the stress accompanying the peeling force is dispersed to the whole one side of the base member so that the base member is not broken as much as possible. I can do it.

  On the other hand, the antenna extends from one side to the other side of the base member so that the longitudinal direction intersects all the side directions of the base member and straddles the boundary between the case bodies together with the base member. It is arranged as such. Therefore, if it is attempted to peel off the seal from the entire side, breakage occurs in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the antenna. Then, since the antenna is long and the dimension in the direction intersecting with the longitudinal direction of the antenna is short, the antenna is divided at the position where the breakage occurs. In this case, the administrator or the like of the game hall can not confirm the identification information stored in the IC chip by the reader, so that it is possible to easily and surely find out that the control board has been tampered with.

  In this means, by setting identification information stored in the IC chip to the game machine, the control board device attached to the game machine is replaced with a control board device provided with an illegal control board. If so, the replacement can be easily found.

  Means 2. A game machine according to Means 1, wherein the antenna is disposed so as to extend from one corner side of the base member to the corner side in the diagonal direction.

  According to the means 2, by arranging the antenna to extend from one corner side of the base member to the corner side in the diagonal direction, it is possible to secure a long dimension of the antenna in the longitudinal direction. . As a result, it is possible to provide many opportunities for the antenna to break up when the seal is peeled off, so that it is possible to detect that the control board has been tampered with more reliably.

  Means 3. A gaming machine according to Means 2, wherein the antenna is disposed on a diagonal of the base member.

  According to the means 3, since the antenna is provided on the diagonal of the base member, the length dimension of the antenna can be secured as large as possible. Therefore, it is possible to provide as many opportunities for separation of the antenna as possible when the seal is peeled off.

  Means 4. In any one of the means 1 to 3, the arrangement position of the IC chip is set so that the longitudinal direction of the antenna extends toward both sides with respect to the IC chip.

  According to the means 4, since the arrangement position of the IC chip is set such that the longitudinal direction of the antenna extends toward both sides with respect to the IC chip, the IC chip is positioned on the outer edge side (one side) of the seal. It will not do. Therefore, it is possible to suppress that the seal is easily peeled off due to the thickness of the IC chip. That is, since the IC chip has a predetermined thickness, a gap is generated between the periphery of the IC chip and the case body in the seal. In this case, if the IC chip is on the outer edge side of the seal, the seal is easily peeled off by putting a finger on the gap between the outer edge and the case body. On the other hand, when the position of the IC chip is not on the outer edge side of the seal as in the present means, it is possible to suppress the seal from being easily peeled off in the configuration provided with the IC chip having a predetermined thickness.

  The above effect is more remarkable by disposing the IC chip at the approximate center of the longitudinal direction of the antenna.

  Means 5. The gaming machine according to any one of the means 1 to 4, wherein the thickness dimension of the antenna is smaller than the thickness dimension of the IC chip.

  According to the means 5, since the thickness dimension of the antenna is smaller than the thickness dimension of the IC chip, the antenna is easily broken when the seal is peeled off. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably detect that the control board has been tampered with.

  In this case, if the IC chip is on the outer edge side of the seal, as shown in the above means 4, the seal is easily peeled off. On the other hand, by providing the configuration of the means 4 described above, it is possible to prevent the seal from being easily peeled off.

A gaming machine characterized by having been affixed to.

  According to the means 6, since the seal is bent at a predetermined angle or a predetermined curvature such that the extending direction of the bending center is substantially parallel to the extending direction of one side of the seal, the case is attached to the case. The failure of the base member will be more pronounced if the seal is removed from its corners. This is because, when trying to peel off the seal from the corner in the configuration in which the seal is attached as described above, stress associated with the peeling force concentrates on the end of the bending center. In this case, a person who attempts to cheat the control board naturally tries to peel off the seal in a direction along one side of the seal. On the other hand, when the seal is removed in the direction along one side by providing the configuration of the means 1, the antenna is divided, and it is easily found that the control board has been tampered with. Can.

  Means 7. A game machine according to any one of means 1 to 6, wherein a plurality of antenna cuts (antenna cuts 335) are formed around the antenna in the base member.

  According to the means 7, when the seal is peeled off, the stress associated with the peeling force is concentrated on the end of the antenna slit formed around the antenna, and the base member is broken from the end of the antenna slit As a result, the antenna is also destroyed, and the antenna is separated at that position. Therefore, the antenna is easily divided, and it is possible to more reliably find out that the control board is tampered with.

  Means 8. The gaming machine according to the means 7, wherein the antenna cut is a linear cut extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the antenna and all the side directions of the base member.

Thereby, separation of the antenna via the notch for antenna can be more easily generated.

  By forming the notch for the antenna to a position where the antenna reaches the antenna to the extent that the antenna is not divided, the separation of the antenna is more likely to occur when the seal is peeled off.

  In addition, by preventing the antenna cuts from being aligned in a straight line across the antenna, for example, when there is nothing to do with fraud such as at the time of affixing a seal at the time of manufacture of a game machine, the position across the antenna. It is possible to suppress that the antenna is cut due to connection of the antenna cuts.

  Means 9. In any one of means 1 to 8, a plurality of outer edge notches (outer edge notches 337) extending inward from the outer periphery are formed at least at corners of the base member.

  According to the means 9, when the seal is peeled from the corner, the stress associated with the peeling force is concentrated on the inner end of the outer edge notch, and the breakage of the base member is more likely to occur. In this case, a person who attempts to cheat the control board naturally tries to peel off the seal in a direction along one side of the seal. On the other hand, when the seal is removed in the direction along one side by providing the configuration of the means 1, the antenna is divided, and it is easily found that the control board has been tampered with. Can.

  In addition, by forming a large number of outer edge notches in the outer peripheral direction of the base member, when the seal is peeled in the direction along one side, breakage of the base member is easily generated. As a result, a trace that the seal has been tampered with remains on the base member, making it easier to detect fraud.

  Means 10. A gaming machine according to means 9, wherein at least the inner end of the outer edge notch is linear or acute.

  According to the means 10, since at least the inner end of the outer edge notch is linear or acute, when the seal is peeled from the corner, the stress associated with the peeling force is caused by the inner edge of the outer edge notch It will be concentrated locally. Therefore, it is possible to more easily cause the breakage of the base member through the outer edge notch when the seal is peeled from the corner.

  Means 11. A game machine according to any one of the means 1 to 10, wherein a corner notch (corner notch 336) is formed on the corner side of the base member.

  According to the means 11, since the corner-side notch is formed on the corner side of the base member, breakage of the base member is more likely to occur when the seal is peeled from the corner. In this case, a person who attempts to cheat the control board naturally tries to peel off the seal in a direction along one side of the seal. On the other hand, when the seal is removed in the direction along one side by providing the configuration of the means 1, the antenna is divided, and it is easily found that the control board has been tampered with. Can.

The return ball preventing member 54 prevents the game ball, which has jumped out of the ball guide passage to the top of the game board 30, from being returned into the ball guide passage. In addition, the game ball fired with a predetermined momentum or more strikes the return rubber 55 and is bounced back to the center of the game area.

  An arc-shaped flange 56 which protrudes outward is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the rail unit 50. The flange 56 constitutes an attachment surface to the game board 30. When the rail unit 50 is attached to the game board 30, the flange 56 abuts on the game board 30, and in that state, a screw or the like is inserted through the plurality of through holes formed in the flange 56 The rail unit 50 is fastened to 30. Here, the upper and lower and left and right ends of the rail unit 50 are formed substantially in a straight line. That is, the flanges 56 are cut off at the upper and lower and left and right ends of the rail unit 50, and the expansion of the rail diameter in a limited area of the pachinko machine 10, that is, the expansion of the game area on the game board 30 is achieved. It has become. The rail unit 50 is disposed such that the position on the game board 30 which is the maximum width of the game area reaches the left and right end positions of the game board 30. Of the parts corresponding to the ball guide passage of the rail unit 50, particularly with regard to the receiving part of the game ball, the corresponding flange 56 is more than the other one in order to firmly attach the rail unit 50 and stabilize the flight of the game ball. Screwing is carried out at many places (three places in the present embodiment and two places in the other).

  At the entrance of the ball guide passage between the inner rail portion 51 and the outer rail portion 52, a convex portion 57 is formed so as to close a part of the ball guide passage. The convex portion 57 is formed to extend downward from the outer peripheral portion of the inner rail portion 51 and has a function of guiding the far ball which flows backward in the ball guide passage without reaching the game area to the far ball passage 76 (see FIG. 3) Have. The lower right corner and the lower left corner of the game board 30 are spaces (Sa, Sb in the figure) for attaching a seal or plate such as a certificate, and the flange 56 is provided to secure the attachment space. The notches 58a and 58b are formed in the.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 3, in the resin base 25, below the window hole 26 (game board 30), a launch rail 61 for guiding game balls immediately after being fired from the game ball launch device is attached. There is. The firing rail 61 is attached and fixed to the resin base 25 via the metal plate 62 at the rear thereof, and is configured to extend linearly at a predetermined firing angle (launching angle). Therefore, the game balls fired along with the turning operation of the game ball firing handle 18 are first fired obliquely upward along the firing rail 61 and then guided to the game area through the ball guiding passage. Here, in the present embodiment, the launch position of the gaming ball is lowered to make the tilt angle (launch angle) of the launch rail 61 somewhat larger than that of the existing ones (ie, launch the launch rail 61). By forming the firing rail 61 so as to extend from the launch position of the gaming ball launcher to a position beyond the central position (out port 36) of the gaming area, the length of the firing rail 61 is made longer than the existing ones. It is designed to secure a ball guidance distance of In this way, the game balls fired from the game ball launcher can be guided to the ball guiding passage in a more stable state. Furthermore, in order to stabilize the launch ball, the metal plate 62 on which the launch rail 61 is installed is enlarged, and the metal plate 62 is screwed at a large number of locations (15 to 20 in the present embodiment) Thus, the firing rail 61 is firmly positioned relative to the game board 30.

  There is a gap with a predetermined distance between the firing rail 61 and the ball guiding passage, and a ball ball passage 76 is provided below the gap. Therefore, if the game ball fired from the game ball launch device does not reach the return ball preventing member 54 and moves backward in the ball guiding passage as a far ball, the far ball travels through the lower ball passage 76 through the lower tray 16. Discharged into

  When a foul ball flows backward in the ball guide passage, most of it flows along the outer rail portion 52 and falls downward when reaching the lower end portion of the outer rail portion 52, but some of the far balls are There is also one that assaults in the ball guide passage and bounces to the inner rail portion 51 side. At this time, the flipped up ball strikes the convex portion 57 at the entrance of the ball guide passage and is guided to the far ball passage 76. As a result, all of the far balls are reliably guided to the far ball passage 76, and the interference between the far balls and the gaming ball to be fired next is suppressed.

  Although detailed disclosure of the drawings is omitted, one game ball is supplied to the game ball launch device from the ball outlet on the front door frame 13 side (the ball outlet communicating with the most downstream part of the upper tray 23). At this time, in the present embodiment, since the launch position of the gaming ball is lowered, the drop from the exit of the front door frame 13 to the launch position becomes large, but near the launch base end of the launch rail 61 Guide members 63 and 64 are respectively installed on the front side. As a result, the gaming balls supplied from the ball outlet on the front door frame 13 side are always set at a predetermined firing position, and a stable firing operation can be realized. In addition, the game ball launching apparatus is provided with a batting ball supported rotatably around the base end, and the game ball is fired along with the turning of the batting ball, but weight reduction is desirable for the batting ball. It is rare. Therefore, while aiming to reduce the weight of the hit ball by changing the material to a light metal such as aluminum or reducing the shaft diameter, the head portion of the hit ball (opposite to the base end portion) in order to secure a sufficient firing force. The end of the side) has a weight part. As a result, sufficient and stable launch of the game ball can be realized. By providing the weight portion of the batting ball to project upward, the batting ball can be easily picked up and hooked, and the effect of facilitating adjustment of the batting strength and the like of the ball tip can be obtained.

That is, the ball lending button 121 is operated to obtain a loaned ball based on the information recorded on the card or the like (recording medium), and the loaned ball is paid out as long as the remaining amount is present on the card or the like. The return button 122 is operated to request return of a card or the like inserted in the card unit. The frequency display unit 123 displays balance information of a card or the like. In addition, with pachinko machines (so-called cash machines) in which gaming balls are directly lent out to the upper tray from a ball lending device or the like without passing through a card unit, the ball rental operation unit 120 becomes unnecessary. A decorative seal or the like is attached to the installation portion 120. As a result, in the configuration of the pachinko machine 10 provided with the rental ball operation unit 120, it becomes possible to share a pachinko machine (a so-called CR machine) using a card unit with a cash machine.

  Various reinforcing members made of metal are provided on the back side of the front door frame 13 so as to surround the window portion 101. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, reinforcing plates 131, 132, 133, and 134 are attached to the back of the front door frame 13 and to the left, right, upper and lower sides of the window portion 101, respectively. The reinforcing plates 131 to 134 are connected in contact with each other, but a resin part 135 for avoiding direct contact is interposed at the connecting portion of the reinforcing plates 132 and 133 on the left side and the upper side of the figure. As a result, the closed loop of the electrical path by the reinforcing plates 131 to 134 is broken, and the generation of the magnetic field that causes noise is prevented.

  Mounting brackets 151 and 152 are attached to the upper and lower end portions of the reinforcing plate 131 on the opening and closing axis side, which is the right side in FIG. The mounting brackets 151 and 152 on the front door frame 13 side are attached to the support brackets 81 and 82 (see FIG. 3) on the main body frame 12 side. That is, the lower mounting bracket 152 is formed with an axial hole opening to the lower surface, and the projection shaft 84 of the lower support bracket 82 is inserted into the axial hole, while the upper mounting bracket 151 is The front door frame 13 is supported so as to be able to open and close with respect to the main body frame 12 by inserting the shaft portion into the support hole 83 of the upper support fitting 81. Further, the reinforcing plate 131 is provided with a hook-like engaging claw 131a at an intermediate position, and the engaging claw 131a is a hole 12a of the main body frame 12 in a state where the front door frame 13 is closed. (See FIG. 3). As a result, the front door frame 13 is configured to include the upper plate 23, and the front door frame 13 can be prevented from rising at the intermediate position even in the pachinko machine 10 in which the distance between the upper and lower shafts is long. Therefore, the injustice etc. which float the front door frame 13 are controlled.

  A pair of upper and lower hook fittings 155 and 156 having a hook shape is attached to the reinforcing plate 132 on the opposite side to the opening / closing axis which is the left side of FIG. The hooks 155 and 156 extend rearward and are provided to correspond to the insertion holes 87 and 88 (see FIG. 3) provided in the main body frame 12. When the front door frame 13 is closed with respect to the main body frame 12, the hook metal fittings 155, 156 are inserted into the insertion holes 87, 88 on the main body frame 12 side, and are locked by the locking device.

  A resin case 136 is attached to the lower reinforcing plate 134 at a position facing the firing rail 61. The resin case 136 accommodates a circuit board for the ball rental operation unit 120. The back surface (surface seen in FIG. 5) of the resin case 136 is flat, and when the front door frame 13 is closed, the side wall of the firing rail 61 is configured. Therefore, the game ball is prevented from falling forward from the firing rail 61.

  A ball passage rod 138 is installed toward the rear of the pachinko machine 10 at a portion where a part of the lower reinforcing plate 134 is cut away, and at least above the ball passage rod 138, similarly to the rear of the pachinko machine 10 An eave (eaves) portion 139 is provided to extend. In this case, when the front door frame 13 is closed to the main body frame 12 side, a ridge extending along the upper side of the communication port 72 on the main body frame 12 side is inserted between the ball passage 球 138 and the collar portion 139 Will be placed. Therefore, even if a wire, a film, or the like is made to intrude from the ball passage 樋 138 to perform an illegal act, it becomes very difficult to make the wire, the film, etc. enter the game area. As a result, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts performed using wires, films and the like.

  The above-described reinforcing plates 131 to 134 also have a function as a metal frame for supporting glass, and the inner side of these reinforcing plates 131 to 134 is folded back to form a glass holding groove. The glass holding grooves are formed in two rows in the front and rear direction, and a pair of rectangular front and rear glasses 137 are held by the respective glass holding grooves. Thereby, two sheets of glass 137 are attached at predetermined intervals in front and back.

  When the front door frame 13 is closed, a part of the ball guide passage formed between the inner and outer rail portions 51 and 52 is covered by the front door frame 13. Therefore, in the ball guiding passage, there is a portion where the open portion on the front side can not be covered by the glass 137. In such a case, for example, when the game ball fired from the game ball launch device comes back without reaching the return ball preventing member 54, the game ball may jump out of the ball guiding passage, or between the outer rail portion 52 and the glass 137 There is a risk of being caught in the gap that can be So, in this embodiment, the rail cover 140 for covering the front side opening part of a ball | bowl guide passage is attached to the front door frame 13. As shown in FIG. The rail cover 140 is a plate having a substantially arc shape, and is formed of a transparent resin. The arc shape of the rail cover 140 corresponds to the shape of the ball guide passage, and covers the section from the base end portion of the ball guide passage to the vicinity of the tip portion along the peripheral portion of the window portion 101. ing. In particular, the size and shape of the inner diameter side of the rail cover 140 substantially match that of the inner rail portion 51. Further, at the right end of the rail cover 140 (that is, the portion which becomes the right end in the state of FIG. 5 in which the rail cover 140 is attached to the front door frame 13), a portion where the ball guiding passage protrudes from the side edge of the glass 137 A covering portion 141 for covering the With the above-described configuration of the rail cover 140, when the front door frame 13 is closed, the back surface of the rail cover 140 covers almost the entire area of the ball guiding passage, and the gaming ball jumps out of the ball guiding passage It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a defect such as being caught in the gap formed between the outer rail portion 52 and the glass 137.

  Further, on the lower rear side of the rail cover 140, there is formed a protrusion 142 extending in an arc shape along the inner edge thereof and protruding rearward. The protrusion 142 is disposed so as to overlap the inner rail portion 51 in a state in which it is in the ball guide passage when the front door frame 13 is closed. Therefore, for example, even if it is attempted to intrude a wire, a film, or the like from the gap between the front door frame 13 and the main body frame 12 to perform an illegal act, the wire, the film, or the like may intrude into the game area inside the ball guiding passage. Will be very difficult. As a result, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts performed using wires, films and the like. The protrusion 142 may be formed in a wider range, for example, along the entire inner edge of the rail cover 140. According to such a configuration, it is difficult for the wire, the film, etc. to penetrate in the wider range. It is possible to more reliably prevent fraudulent acts performed using wires, films and the like.

  Next, the configuration of the back of the pachinko machine 10 will be described. 6 is a rear view of the pachinko machine 10, and FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing the rear face configuration of the pachinko machine 10 for each of the main parts.

Hereinafter, for convenience, the former unit will be referred to as “first control board unit 201”, and the latter unit will be referred to as “second control board unit 202”. Further, since the dispensing mechanism and the protective cover are also integrated as one unit, and the resin portion may be generally referred to as a back pack, the unit will be referred to as a "back pack unit 203" herein. The detailed configuration of each of the units 201 to 203 will be described later.

  The first control board unit 201, the second control board unit 202, and the back pack unit 203 can be attached and detached without using a tool etc. in unit units, and at the same time, a spindle is provided in the main body frame Alternatively, it can be developed to the back of the game board 30. This is also a device for making it possible to easily confirm a hidden portion when the units 201 to 203 and other components are arranged one on top of the other. In practice, as shown in the schematic view of FIG. 8, the substantially L-shaped first control board unit 201 is disposed substantially at the center of the pachinko machine 10, and the second control board unit 202 is disposed therebelow. There is. Further, the back pack unit 203 is disposed in an area partially overlapping the first control substrate unit 201.

  The first control board unit 201 is provided with a pivot M1 at the left end when viewed from the back of the pachinko machine 10, and the first control board unit 201 can rotate about an axis A by the spindle M1. ing. Further, in the first control board unit 201, a fastening portion M2 made of ny latch (registered trademark) or the like is provided on the right end portion, that is, the open end side opposite to the support shaft portion M1 and A portion M3 is provided, and the first control board unit 201 is held along the back surface of the pachinko machine 10 main body by the fastening portion M2 and the locking claw portion M3. Further, the second control board unit 202 is provided with a support shaft portion M4 at the right end when viewed from the back surface of the pachinko machine 10, and the second control board unit 202 can rotate about an axis B by the support shaft portion M4. It has become. Further, the second control board unit 202 is provided with a fastening portion M5 comprising a ny latch etc. on the left end portion, that is, the open end side opposite to the support shaft portion M4, and the second control by the fastening portion M5. The substrate unit 202 is held along the back surface of the pachinko machine 10 main body. Further, the back pack unit 203 is provided with a support shaft portion M6 at the right end when viewed from the back of the pachinko machine 10, and the back pack unit 203 is rotatable around an axis C by the support shaft portion M6. .

The sound quality improvement of the bass region is aimed at by functioning not to miss.

  Next, the configuration of the first control board unit 201 will be described based on FIG. 13 to FIG. 13 is a front view of the first control board unit 201, FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the first control board unit 201, FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view of the first control board unit 201, and FIG. FIG. 17 is an exploded perspective view of the main control device 271 constituting the first control board unit 201, and FIG. 18 is an explanatory view for explaining the substrate box 273 constituting the main control device 271. is there. 19 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 13, FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view of the sealing seal 330 attached to the main controller 271, and FIG.

  The first control board unit 201 has a substantially L-shaped mount 251 on which the main controller 271 and the voice lamp controller 272 are mounted.

  The main control device 271 is a CPU that controls the main control, a ROM that stores game programs, a RAM that stores necessary data according to the progress of a game, a port that communicates with various devices, and random numbers used in various lotterys. A main substrate 270 including a generator, a clock pulse generation circuit used for time counting and synchronization, etc. is provided, and the main substrate is housed in a substrate box 273 as a covering means made of a transparent resin material or the like. It is configured. In the present embodiment, the CPU, the ROM, and the RAM are integrated into one chip in the CPU chip 501. However, the CPU, the ROM, and the RAM may not be integrated into one chip, but may be integrated into each function. Although detailed description is omitted, an input / output drive IC chip 507 and a latch IC chip 508 are mounted on the main substrate 270.

  The substrate box 273 includes a box base 280 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a box cover 290 that covers the opening of the box base 280. In the box base 280, a side plate portion 282 is formed on the long side of the bottom plate portion 281, and a stepped portion 283 is formed on one side on the short side so as to be continuous with the side plate portion 282. The tip of the side plate portion 282 is bent inward. The right end portion of the bottom plate portion 281 is a mounting opening 284 for slidingly mounting the box cover 290. In this case, as shown in FIG. 18, by mounting the box cover 290 from the mounting opening 284 and sliding it until it reaches the step portion 283, the box cover 290 is mounted at a predetermined position on the box base 280 ing.

  An extension portion 291 is formed on the box cover 290 so as to overlap the step portion 283 of the box base 280. The extension part 291 constitutes a sealing unit 274 (so-called caulking structure) as sealing means together with the step part 283 of the box base 280, and the box base 280 and the box cover 290 are connected by the sealing unit 274, and the substrate Box 273 is sealed. The sealing unit 274 is applicable to any configuration as long as it connects the box base 280 and the box cover 290, but here, as shown in FIG. The box base 280 and the box cover 290 are connected by inserting the locking claws into the long holes of the sealing members 285 and 292. In this case, since the locking claws can not be removed from the sealing members 285 and 292, it is necessary to break the sealing members 285 and 292 in order to open the substrate box 273. Thus, a history of unauthorized opening of the substrate box 273 can be left, and it can be discovered that the main substrate 270 has been tampered with.

  A sticking portion 287 for sticking the sealing seal 330 is formed on the mounting opening 284 side of the box base 280. The sticking portion 287 is formed in a substantially plate shape along the short side of the box base 280. Further, the same pasting portion 294 is also formed on the box cover 290 corresponding to the pasting portion 287 formed on the box base 280, and the two pasting portions 287 and 294 are in contact with each other. Screw holes 287a and 294a penetrating in the thickness direction are formed in both the attached parts 287 and 294, and both attached parts 287 and 294 (box base 280 and box cover 290) are fixed by screws 299. That is, the fixation between the box base 280 and the box cover 290 is performed by screw fixation in the sealing unit 274 and the sticking portions 287 and 294 described above.

  The outer surface of the sticking portion 287, 294 is a flat surface, and a substantially rectangular sealing seal 330 is stuck on the outer surface so as to straddle both the sticking portions 287, 294. In detail, the sealing seal 330 is bent in a substantially U-shape to be configured to straddle both the sticking portions 287 and 294 (see FIG. 19). In this case, the screw holes 287 a and 294 a of the attaching parts 287 and 294 are covered by the sealing seal 330. In addition, in FIG. 19, the thickness dimension of the sealing seal 330 is shown larger than the actual thickness dimension for convenience of explanation.

  Here, the configuration of the sealing seal 330 will be described using FIGS. 20 and 21. FIG.

  The sealing seal 330 includes a substantially rectangular base sheet 331, and an adhesive is applied to the back surface of the base sheet 331 to form an adhesive layer 332. In addition, an IC chip 333 with an antenna is attached to a part of the adhesive layer 332. In FIG. 20, the release sheet 334 is shown on the back side of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 332. The release sheet 334 is peeled off when the seal seal 330 is attached to the substrate box 273 so that the seal seal 330 is not inadvertently attached before the seal seal 330 is used.

  The base sheet 331 is formed of a flexible resin film such as a polyester film, has appropriate brittleness, and has reactivity with solvents and heat. Specifically, when toluene or the like having solubility to the adhesive constituting the adhesive layer 332 is applied to the base sheet 331, the base sheet 331 is discolored. In addition, the base sheet 331 changes color also when heat is applied at a temperature (eg, 50 ° C.) or more at which the adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is reduced. As a result, when the solvent is applied or heat is applied in an attempt to peel off the sealing seal 330 illegally from the attaching part 287, 294 of the substrate box 273, the base sheet 331 is discolored to reveal the trace of the fraud You can leave it.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 332 has an adhesive strength such that the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 332 is peeled off from the base sheet 331 once it is attached and then peeled off. Therefore, when the sealing seal 330 is peeled off, it is impossible to attach it again, and furthermore, a part of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer remains on the attaching part 287, 294 side. Thus, it is possible to leave a trace that the seal seal 330 is illegally peeled off.

  The IC chip 333 with an antenna is composed of an IC chip 333a and an antenna portion 333b, and the IC chip 333a is disposed near the center of the elongated antenna portion 333b. The IC chip 333a is formed as an integrated circuit, and includes a control unit and a memory area. The memory area stores ID information as identification data. The antenna portion 333b is formed of a thin metal layer such as aluminum, and the thickness thereof is thinner than the thickness of the IC chip 333a. Also, the antenna portion 333b is manufactured as an antenna pattern so that the resonance frequency is a constant frequency such as 2.45 GHz.

  The ID information of the IC chip 333a is configured to be called by the control unit and can be transmitted from the antenna unit 333b, and the ID information transmitted from the antenna unit 333b is received by the scanner formed as a reader / writer Can be read. In detail, calling is performed from the scanner by the weak radio wave of the frequency, and an induction field is formed by the radio wave. When the scanner is brought close to the antenna unit 333 b to such an extent that the antenna unit 333 b is positioned in the induction field, an electromotive force is generated in the antenna unit 333 b by electromagnetic induction. In the IC chip 333a, using the electromotive force as a power source, the control unit can call up the ID information stored in the memory area and transmit it from the antenna unit 333b, and the transmitted ID information is received by the scanner. It can be read.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (b), the IC chip 333 with antenna (antenna portion 333b) has a base sheet 331 on which the adhesive layer 332 is formed, and a diagonal direction from one corner of the base sheet 331 It is diagonally arranged over the corner side. In detail, the antenna portion 333 b is not on the diagonal of the base sheet 331, and the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333 b intersects with the diagonals of the base sheet 331. In this case, the longitudinal direction of the elongated antenna portion 333 b intersects all the side directions of the base sheet 331. Then, as the sealing seal 330 is pasted across both the sticking portions 287 and 294, the antenna portion 333b also straddles both the sticking portions 287 and 294.

  Further, the sealing seal 330 is formed with a large number of antenna cuts 335 arranged at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b. The notch for antenna 335 is a straight line extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b, and penetrates from the surface side of the base sheet 331 to the back side of the adhesive layer 332 (see FIG. 21). In (a), the notch for antenna 335 is omitted. Incidentally, since the direction in which the antenna cut 335 extends is a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333 b, it intersects all the side directions of the base sheet 331. In addition, the notch for antenna 335 is configured to slightly hang on the antenna portion 333 b. In this case, since the antenna portion 333b is not divided by the antenna cut 335, no problem occurs in transmission of the ID information. In addition, the antenna cut 335 located on one side of the antenna portion 333 b and the antenna cut 335 located on the other side are formed to be offset so that the antenna cut 335 does not line up linearly across the antenna portion 333 b. ing. In detail, the antenna cut 335 located on one side of the antenna portion 333 b and the antenna cut 335 located on the other side are alternately arranged along the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333 b.

  When it is going to peel off the sealing seal 330 explained above from the sticking part 287, 294, the stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates locally on the corner angle of the base sheet 331 or concentrated on the bent portion of the sealing seal 330. In order not to do so, it peels off in the direction along one side of the seal seal 330. And this direction is a direction which intersects with the direction in which the antenna portion 333 b extends. Therefore, the stress associated with the peeling force concentrates on the end of the notch for antenna 335 located around the antenna portion 333b, whereby the base sheet 331 is broken through the notch for antenna 335, and accordingly, the antenna portion 333b is It will be divided. When the antenna unit 333b is divided, the ID information can not be transmitted from the antenna unit 333b, so the ID information can not be read by the scanner. Therefore, after the sealing seal 330 is peeled off cleanly from the attaching sections 287 and 294 and the substrate box 273 is opened and the main substrate 270 is tampered with, the substrate box 273 is sealed and the sealing seal 330 is adhered clean again. Also, the fraud can be easily found.

  At the four corners of the sealing seal 330, corner-side notches 336 penetrating from the surface side of the base sheet 331 to the back side of the adhesive layer 332 are formed. In detail, the corner notch 336 is formed in an L shape so as to be along the corner inside the corner of the sealing seal 330. Therefore, even if the seal seal 330 is peeled off from the corner side of the seal seal 330 instead of being peeled off in the direction along one side thereof, the seal seal 330 is broken from the corner notches 336 and leaves a trace of cheating. be able to.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the outer edge of the sealing seal 330 is formed with a number of outer edge notches 337 from the outer end toward the inside. The outer edge notches 337 are V-shaped in an acute angle so as to open outward from the inner side, and are formed at equal intervals in the direction along the outer periphery of the sealing seal 330. Therefore, when trying to peel off the sealing seal 330 from the attached portions 287 and 294 of the substrate box 273, the stress accompanying this peeling force concentrates on the inner end of the outer edge notch 337, and the base sheet 331 is suitably brittle as described above. The breakage of the sealing seal 330 may occur, for example. As a result, it is possible to leave a trace of removal of the sealing seal 330 and to easily detect that tampering has been performed on the main substrate 270.

  However, in the configuration in which the outer edge notch 337 is formed as described above, breakage of the sealing seal 330 is unlikely to occur when the sealing seal 330 is peeled from the entire one side of the sealing seal 330 along the direction orthogonal to that side. That is, when peeling off the seal seal 330 from its corner or pinching and peeling off between adjacent outer edge notches 337 at the outer edge of the seal seal 330, the stress accompanying the peeling force is concentrated at the inner end of the few outer edge notches 337 As a result, breakage of the seal seal 330 through the outer edge notch 337 is likely to occur. On the other hand, when peeling off from one entire side of the rectangular sealing seal 330 along the direction orthogonal to that side, the stress accompanying the peeling force is dispersed at the inner end of the many outer notches 337. Destruction of the seal seal 330 is unlikely to occur. Therefore, when the seal seal 330 is peeled off by the latter method, the outer edge notch 337 may not leave a trace of fraud. On the other hand, as described above, since the antenna portion 333 b is disposed obliquely from one corner side of the sealing seal 330 to the corner side in the diagonal direction, one side of the sealing seal 330 Even if the sealing seal 330 is peeled from the whole along the direction orthogonal to the side, the antenna portion 333b is divided, and it is possible to easily find a fraud.

  As shown in FIG. 21A, an ink application unit 341, an identification information unit 342, and a model information unit 343 are provided on the surface of the base sheet 331. The ink application unit 341 is applied with a special ink that exhibits a pattern by being irradiated with light of a specific wavelength such as ultraviolet light. A plurality of numbers are described in the identification information section 342, and the numbers described in the identification information section 342 are different for each gaming machine. In this case, the numbers described in the identification information unit 342 are set in association with the ID information stored in the IC chip 333a. For example, when ID information is registered by a number, the sum of the number of the ID information and the number described in the identification information unit 342 is identical in a plurality of gaming machines installed in a game hall or the like. It is set to. The model information portion 343 describes the model name of the gaming machine, the name of the manufacturer of the gaming machine, and the like.

  Here, the upper region R1 in FIG. 21A of the sealing seal 330 is located on the front side of the sticking portion 294 of the box cover 290. Therefore, since the ink coating unit 341 and the identification information unit 342 can be visually recognized from the position facing the main control device 271, the checking operation of the ink coating unit 341 and the identification information unit 342 can be easily performed. Further, an intermediate region R2 in FIG. 21 (a) of the sealing seal 330 is located on the side surface side of both the sticking portions 287 and 294. Therefore, the content described in the model information unit 343 can be confirmed without removing the main control device 271 from the mounting base 251. The lower region R3 is located on the back side of the sticking portion 287 of the box base 280.

  As described above, by providing the ink application unit 341 and the identification information unit 342, when the main control device 271 is illegally replaced, it can be easily found that the replacement has been performed. . That is, even if the replaced fraudulent main controller can not be distinguished from the legitimate one in terms of appearance, it has been replaced by confirming that the ink coating unit 341 emits light peculiar to it and that no pattern appears. Can be found. Also, even if an IC chip with an antenna is provided on the seal seal of the main control device for fraud, it is exchanged by reading ID information with a scanner and confirming the information and the information in the identification information section 342. Can be found.

  The audio lamp control device 272 comprises an audio lamp control board including a CPU for controlling the display of voice and lamp according to an instruction from the main control device 271 or the display control device 214, and other ROM, RAM, various ports, etc. The sound lamp control substrate is accommodated in a substrate box 275 made of a transparent resin material or the like. A power relay board 276 is mounted on the audio lamp controller 272, and the power of the power supply 313 is supplied to the display controller 214 and the audio lamp controller 272 via the power relay board 276. .

  The mount 251 is made of synthetic resin such as polycarbonate resin, and is colored, for example, green or blue to be opaque. However, the mount 251 may be colorless and transparent or translucent. On the surface of the mount 251, two flat substrate mounting surfaces 252 and 253 are provided. The substrate mounting surfaces 252 and 253 extend in the direction perpendicular to the vertical and horizontal directions, and are formed with a step in the front-rear direction. At the upper edge and lower edge of the substrate mounting surface 252, erected portions 254 which are erected from the substrate mounting surface 252 are integrally formed. The main controller 271 is disposed on the horizontally long substrate mounting surface 252, and the audio lamp control device 272 is disposed on the vertically long substrate mounting surface 253. At this time, the upper and lower sides of the main control device 271 are supported by the rising portion 254. Further, the audio lamp control device 172 is fixed to the substrate mounting surface 253 by screws or the like at a plurality of places.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, horizontally long through holes 256 are formed on the left and right of the substrate mounting surface 252. On the other hand, in the substrate box 273 of the main control device 271, pivoting operation type fasteners 277 are provided at the left and right of the back surface. When the main control device 271 is mounted on the substrate mounting surface 252, the main control device 271 is placed so that the fixing tool 277 is inserted into the through hole 256 of the substrate mounting surface 252, and the fixing device 277 is The main control device 271 is locked by turning operation. Therefore, the main control device 271 can not be removed unless the fixing tool 277 is unlocked from the back surface side of the first control board unit 201, so that a deterrent effect against fraudulent acts such as removal of the board can be obtained.

  Further, in the mounting table 251, a shielding portion 257 for shielding an opening communicating with the back surface space of the substrate mounting surface 252 is provided below the substrate mounting surface 252 for the main substrate. Therefore, the insertion of a hand or the like from the lower side of the substrate mounting surface 252 to the back surface of the mounting base 251 is prevented, and the locked state of the fixing tool 277 can not be released illegally. Further, in a state where the first control board unit 201 is mounted on the back surface of the pachinko machine 10, the upper part of the unit 201 is covered by the back pack unit 203, so that insertion of a hand or the like on the back surface of the mount 251 is also blocked. The locker 277 can not be unlocked illegally.

  As described above, the first control board unit 201 can not be removed unless the back pack unit 203 is largely opened to a predetermined angle or more or the unit 203 is removed, and the locking device can not be correctly removed. The back pack unit 203 can not be opened unless the main body frame 12 is opened with respect to the outer frame 11 by key operation. That is, if the main body frame 12 can not be opened, as a result, the first control board unit 201 can not be rotated or removed, and consequently the main control device 271 can not be removed. Therefore, unauthorized reassignment or theft of the main control device 271 can be effectively prevented.

  The main control device 271 is disposed on the near side when viewed from the back of the pachinko machine 10, and the sound lamp control device 272 is disposed on the far side. In this case, since the board mounting surfaces 252, 253 are formed with a level difference in the front-rear direction, the main control device 271 and the audio lamp control device 272 are mounted on the substrate mounting surfaces 252, 253, respectively. Are placed one on top of the other. That is, as seen also in FIG. 14 and the like, the main control device 271 is disposed in a state where a part thereof (about 1/3 in the present embodiment) is floated. Therefore, the audio lamp control device 272 can be extended to an area overlapping the main control device 271. From another viewpoint, the main control device 271 can be extended to an area overlapping the audio lamp control device 272 Even in the limited size of the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to cope with the increase in size of the control boards 271 and 272, and to efficiently install the control devices 271 and 272. Further, in a state where the first control board unit 201 is mounted on the game board 30, a space is secured behind the board mounting surface 252, and the variable winning device 32 and its electrical wiring can be installed without difficulty. Note that grid-like ribs 258 are provided on the back surface of the substrate mounting surface 252, and the support strength of the main control device 271 is enhanced.

  The power supply 313 includes a power supply 541 for supplying power to each part of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 for monitoring power interruption due to a power failure, etc. And have. The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power to each of the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 through a power supply path (not shown). As a summary, the power supply unit 541 takes in AC 24 volt power supplied from the outside, and generates +12 V power for driving various switches and motors, +5 V power for logic, backup power for RAM backup Then, the +12 V power supply, the +5 V power supply and the backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 and the like.

It is. When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal SG2 to the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311. Thus, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the data in the backup areas 503a and 513a of the main control device 271 and the payout control device 311 are cleared.

  According to the present embodiment described above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  A sealing seal 330 having an IC chip 333 with an antenna is attached so as to straddle the box base 280 accommodating the main substrate 270 and the box cover 290. In order to open the substrate box 273, it is necessary to peel off the sealing seal 330 from the attaching part 287, 294 and release the screw fixing of the attaching part 287, 294. In this case, as the sealing seal 330 is peeled away from the corner, the stress associated with the peeling force concentrates on the corner portion of the base sheet 331. Then, since the base sheet 331 has appropriate brittleness (brittleness in which a part is broken due to the stress accompanying the peeling force of the sealing seal 330), the base sheet 331 is largely broken. In addition, since the outer edge of the sealing seal 330 is formed with an outer edge notch 337 that opens in an acute V-shape from the inside toward the outer end, the sealing seal 330 is peeled off as it is peeled from its corner. The stress associated with the force is concentrated at the inner end (the point pointed inside) of the outer edge notch 337, and the degree of breakage of the base sheet 331 is greater. Furthermore, since the seal seal 330 is attached to the attachment sections 287 and 294 by bending it in a substantially U shape, when the seal seal 330 is peeled from its corner, the stress accompanying the peeling force is on the bent portion As a result, the base sheet 331 is largely destroyed. In this case, it is clear that the seal seal 330 has been tampered with, that is, the evidence that the main substrate 270 has been tampered with. Therefore, a person trying to cheat the main substrate 270 peels off the entire side of the sealing seal 330 along the direction orthogonal to the side, thereby distributing the stress associated with the peeling force over the whole side of the base sheet 331. To prevent the base member from being destroyed as much as possible. On the other hand, when the seal seal 330 is to be peeled off from the entire side by arranging the antenna portion 333 b so that the longitudinal direction thereof intersects with all the side directions of the seal seal 330, the antenna portion 333 b Destruction occurs in the direction intersecting with the long side direction. Then, the antenna portion 333b is long, and the dimension in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b is short, so that the antenna portion 333b is divided at the position where the breakage occurs. In this case, since the administrator of the game hall can not confirm the ID information stored in the IC chip 333a by the scanner, it is possible to easily and reliably detect that the main substrate 270 has been tampered with. .

  Further, as described above, by arranging the antenna portion 333b to extend from one corner side of the base sheet 331 to the corner side in the diagonal direction, the antenna portion 333b is formed on one side of the base sheet 331 The length dimension of the antenna portion 333 b is secured larger than the configuration provided along the same. Therefore, when the sealing seal 330 is peeled off, it is possible to provide many opportunities for separation of the antenna portion 333b.

  Further, by arranging the IC chip 333a at the approximate center in the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b, as described above, the antenna portion 333b extends from one corner portion of the sealing seal 330 to the corner portion in the diagonal direction. In the arranged configuration, the position of the IC chip 333 a is near the center of the seal seal 330. Therefore, it is possible to suppress that the sealing seal 330 is easily peeled off due to the thickness of the IC chip 333a. That is, since the IC chip 333a has a predetermined thickness, a gap is generated between the periphery of the IC chip 333a in the sealing seal 330 and the attached portions 287 and 294. In this case, if the IC chip 333a is on the outer edge side of the sealing seal 330, the sealing seal 330 can be easily peeled off by putting a finger on the gap between the outer edge and the sticking portions 287 and 294. On the other hand, when the position of the IC chip 333a is near the center of the sealing seal 330, a gap is generated between the outer edge of the sealing seal 330 and the sticking portions 287 and 294 due to the thickness of the IC chip 333a. There is no.

  Further, by forming the notch for antenna 335 around the antenna portion 333b in the base sheet 331, when the sealing seal 330 is peeled off, the base sheet 331 is broken from the end of the notch for antenna 335. Accordingly, the antenna portion 333b is also broken, and the antenna portion 333b is divided at that position. Therefore, the antenna portion 333 b is easily divided, and detection in the case where fraud is performed on the main substrate 270 can be more reliably performed. In particular, by forming the notch for antenna 335 as a linear notch extending in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b and all the side directions of the base sheet 331, the sealing seal 330 is peeled in the direction along one side thereof. In this case, the stress caused by the peeling-off force tends to be concentrated at the end of the antenna cut 335 on the antenna portion side. Thereby, the division of the antenna portion 333b can be more reliably generated when the sealing seal 330 is peeled in the direction along one side thereof. In addition, since the notch for antenna 335 is formed to a position reaching the antenna portion 333b, the antenna portion 333b is easily divided when the sealing seal 330 is unfairly peeled off. In addition, since the antenna cut 335 is formed so as not to align linearly on both sides of the antenna portion 333b, for example, it is not related to fraud such as affixing the sealing seal 330 at the time of manufacturing a gaming machine. In this case, it is possible to prevent the antenna portion 333b from being divided as a result of the antenna notches 335 located across the antenna portion 333b being connected.

  Further, by forming L-shaped corner-side notches 336 penetrating from the surface side of the base sheet 331 to the back side of the adhesive layer 332 at the four corners of the seal seal 330, the seal seal 330 When peeled from the corner side, the stress associated with the peeling force is concentrated at the end of the corner notch 336, and breakage such as tearing occurs in the sealing seal 330 from the corner notch 336. Therefore, a trace of the fact that the main substrate 270 has been tampered with remains on the seal seal 330, and it is possible to easily find that the fraud has been performed. In addition, even if the sealing seal 330 is peeled off in a direction along one side of the sealing seal 330 in order to avoid the breakage of the sealing seal 330 via the corner cut 336, the antenna portion 333b is divided as described above. So you can easily detect fraud.

  In addition, when the solvent which shows solubility with respect to the adhesive which comprises the adhesive layer 332 is apply | coated to the seal seal 330, the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 332 is made by the solvent by setting it as the structure which the base sheet 331 discolors. Even if the seal seal 330 is peeled off without breaking the antenna portion 333b and the fraudulent action is performed on the main substrate 270, it can be easily found that the fraudulent action is performed. Also, even when heat at a predetermined temperature or higher is applied to the sealing seal 330, the base sheet 331 is similarly discolored to apply the heat at a predetermined temperature or higher to thereby increase the adhesion of the adhesive layer 332. Even if the seal seal 330 is peeled off without breaking the antenna portion 333b and the fraudulent action is performed on the main substrate 270, it can be easily found that the fraudulent action is performed.

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

  (A) In each control device such as the main control device 271, a modification of the configuration of the sealing seal is shown in FIGS. 28 (a), (b) and 29 (a), (b). In addition, Fig.28 (a), (b) and FIG.29 (a), (b) show the structure by the side of the back of sealing seal. Further, although the antenna cut 335 and the corner cut 336 are omitted in FIGS. 28 (a) and 28 (b) and FIGS. 29 (a) and 29 (b), it is optional to set these It is.

  First, in FIG. 28A, the IC chip 333 with an antenna is provided on a diagonal of the base sheet 331 (indicated by a dashed dotted line in the figure). Thus, the longitudinal dimension of the antenna IC chip 333 can be made as large as possible. In FIG. 28A, the positions of both ends of the IC chip 333 with an antenna are inside the corner of the base sheet 331, but the positions of both ends are at the corner of the base sheet 331. It may be a configuration.

  In FIG. 28B, the IC chip 551 with an antenna and the antenna unit 552 are provided on the sealing seal 330 as in the above embodiment, but both ends of the antenna unit 552 are the antenna A bent portion 552a bent in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the portion 552 is formed. Thereby, when the sealing seal 330 is peeled off from the corner side, the antenna portion 552 is divided at the bent portion 552a. Therefore, even if the sealing seal 330 is peeled from the corner side, division of the antenna portion 552 will occur, and it is possible to easily and surely detect that the main board 270 has been tampered with. it can. By forming a notch similar to the antenna notch 335 in the above embodiment around the bent portion 552a, division at the bent portion 552a can be more reliably generated.

  Further, in the configuration shown in FIG. 29A, the antenna IC chip 333 is not disposed so as to extend from one corner side of the sealing seal 330 to the corner side in the diagonal direction. It is arranged to extend from one side to the adjacent side. Even in this configuration, the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b intersects all the side directions of the sealing seal 330, and the antenna portion 333b is located over the upper region R1, the middle region R2, and the lower region R3. Therefore, it will straddle both the sticking parts 287 and 294. Therefore, when the sealing seal 330 is peeled in the direction along one side thereof, the antenna portion 333 b may be sufficiently divided.

  Further, in the configuration shown in FIG. 29 (b), the seal seal 555 has a parallelogram shape. In this case, the IC chip 333 with an antenna is provided so as to extend from one corner where the diagonal length dimension is large to the corner facing the corner. As a result, in the sealing seal 555 having a parallelogram shape, the area in which the IC chip 333 with an antenna is positioned can be widely secured while the width dimension of the antenna portion 333b is minimized. Further, with this configuration, the area of the sealing seal 555 can be reduced while securing the dimension in the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b as large as possible.

  (B) The configuration of FIGS. 30 (a) and 30 (b) may be added to the sealing seal 330 in the above embodiment. FIG. 30 (a) shows the configuration of the surface of the sealing seal. However, the outer edge notch 337, the identification information part 342, etc. are omitted and shown. Moreover, FIG.30 (b) shows the structure of the back surface of sealing seal. However, the corner notches 336 and the outer edge notches 337 are omitted.

  First, in the configuration shown in FIG. 30A, an intermittent breaking guide line 573 penetrating in the thickness direction is drilled in the sealing seal 571 in a lattice shape. Thus, when the sealing seal 571 is peeled off, the breaking guide line 573 is connected with the peeling force, and the sealing seal 571 (base sheet 572) is broken. Further, as the sealing seal 571 is broken, the antenna portion of the IC chip with antenna not shown is also divided. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably detect that the fraud has been performed on the main substrate. In addition, the destruction guide line 573 is not limited to the grid shape, and may be, for example, radially provided or irregularly provided.

  Further, in the configuration shown in FIG. 30B, the IC chip with antenna chip 576 and the antenna IC portion 577 are provided in the sealing seal 330 as in the above embodiment, but the antenna portion 577 is provided A breaking guide line 577 a is formed to intermittently connect the antenna notches 335 formed so as to sandwich the antenna unit 577. As a result, when the sealing seal 571 is peeled off, the antenna unit 577 is more reliably broken through the antenna cut 335 and the breaking guide line 577a. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably detect that the fraud has been performed on the main substrate.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the IC chip 333a is disposed near the center in the longitudinal direction of the antenna portion 333b. However, the IC chip 333a is disposed at the end of the antenna portion 333b in the longitudinal direction or The configuration may be

  (D) In the above embodiment, the configuration in which the corner-side notches 336 as the corner-side notches formed at the four corners of the base sheet 331 are formed in a substantially L shape along the corner portions of the base sheet However, this may be changed. For example, the cut extending in the longitudinal direction of the base sheet 331 and the cut extending in the short side direction may not be continuous.

  (E) In the above embodiment, the outer edge notch 337 is formed over the entire outer periphery of the sealing seal 330, but this may be changed. For example, the outer edge notch 337 may be formed only at the corner of the seal seal 330. Even in this case, if it is attempted to peel off the seal seal 330 from its corner, the outer edge notch 337 causes breakage, so a person who cheats the seal seal 330 in the direction along one side of the seal seal 330. Peel off the surface to minimize damage.
