For this reason, there is also a gaming machine island in which different types of gaming machines can be installed. In such a gaming machine island, an underframe is placed in a space for installing the gaming machine, and the gaming machine is accommodated and fixed in the underframe.

  When replacing a game machine installed in such a game machine island with another type of game machine, first, the game machine installed in the game machine island is removed from the frame member. After that, remove the frame member from the installation case. Next, a frame member of a standard corresponding to another type of gaming machine to be newly replaced is attached to the installation case. Thereafter, the game machine of another type is accommodated and fixed inside the frame member.

  Further, as a gaming machine island where gaming machines of different types can be replaced more easily, there is a gaming machine installation island stand as shown in Patent Document 1, for example. This is a single island type in which one game machine is installed in one game machine installation island stand. The gaming machine installation island stand is provided on the upper side of the gaming machine installation island stand, and is provided on the upper unit supporting the upper end of the pachinko machine or the slot machine, and on the lower side of the gaming machine installation island machine. And a lower unit for supporting the lower end of the platform. The upper unit is provided with an upper locking pin, and the lower unit is provided with a lower locking pin.

  When the pachinko machine is installed on the game machine installation island stand, the lock provided at the position for installing the pachinko machine among the plurality of locking grooves provided on the support of the game machine installation island stand Lock the upper locking pin and the lower locking pin in the groove. As a result, the heights of the upper unit and the lower unit can be set to the height corresponding to the installation of the pachinko machine.

  When replacing the installed pachinko table with the slot table, replace the upper locking pin and the lower locking pin locked in the locking groove with the locking groove at the position suitable for the installation of the slot table, Set the height of the unit and lower unit to the height of the slot base installation. This makes it possible to relatively easily adjust the height in replacement between different types of game machines.

The out tank 300 does not interfere with the installation position of the slot machine S by removing the outboard plate 102, and can be put in a non-use state so as not to interfere with the installation of the slot machine S. Alternatively, if the mounting hole 102a is provided long, the position of the lower fixing means 10A can be moved without removing the lower fixing means 10A so that the slot machine S can be placed in a non-use state without being disturbed.

  When turning the replenishment device 200 to the retracted position, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, turn the attachment part 21 of the related equipment moving means 20 from the state of lowering to the upper side shown in FIG. Lift up to a steady state. In order to achieve this state, first, with respect to each of the pair of lock devices 22, the release button 224 is operated to pull the shaft 222 toward the knob 223 side, and the tip of the shaft 222 is removed from the use state lock hole C1. As a result, since the locked state of the mounting portion 21 of the related device moving means 20 is released, the mounting portion 21 can be pivoted upward from the lowered state.

  After this state, the knob 223 of the lock device 22 is pushed toward the lock device 22. At this time, the tip of the shaft 222 is fitted into the non-use state lock hole C2 of the lock plate B shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. Thus, the tip of the shaft 222 is fitted into the non-use state lock hole C2 of the lock plate B for each of the pair of lock devices 22. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the replenishment device 200 attached to the related device moving means 20 can be maintained at the retracted position.

  On the other hand, the out tank 300 turns the knob of the cam lock 33 to release the locked state of the related equipment moving means 30 and the weir plate 102. Here, when the related equipment moving means 30 is pulled up, the related equipment moving means 30 can be removed from the sheathing board 102. In the case where the mounting hole 102a is formed long, the knob of the cam lock 33 is turned to release the locked state of the related device moving means 30 and the weir plate 102, and then the out tank 300 installs the slot machine S. The associated equipment moving means 30 may be fixed by moving the associated equipment moving means 30 to a position where it does not get in the way and turning the knob of the cam lock 33 at that position.

  The slot machine S can be installed at a predetermined position on the sheathing plate 102 by rotating the associated equipment moving means 30 to the retracted position and removing or moving the associated equipment moving means 30 from the sheathing plate 102 in this manner. . At this time, the upper fixing means 10 and the related equipment moving means 20 have the positional relationship shown in FIG. 9 with respect to the slot machine S. In FIG. 9, the lower fixing means 10A and the related equipment moving means 30 are assumed to be removed from the gaming machine island 100.

  When replacing the slot machine S installed in the gaming machine island 100 with the pachinko machine P, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6, the related equipment moving means 20 is shown after removing the slot machine S from the gaming machine island 100. It should be lowered to the position where it will be in use. In addition, the related equipment moving means 30 may be attached to the roof plate 102 or moved to a position where it is in use by the reverse operation to the above description.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine installation unit 1 according to the present embodiment, the gaming machines P and S installed on the gaming machine island 100 to gaming machines S and P having different external dimensions such as height and depth, etc. Replacement can be performed easily and in a short time with a small number of operations.

  Further, the gaming related devices 200 and 300, which are necessary or unnecessary depending on the gaming machines P and S, can be used easily or in a short time, or can be made unnecessary.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and changes or additions may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Included in the invention. For example, although a pachinko machine and a slot machine have been described as an example of a game machine, the game machine is not limited to these two types. Also, the gaming machine island is not limited to the one in which a plurality of gaming machines are installed, but may be a so-called single island in which one gaming machine is installed on one island.

The gaming machine installation unit is for installing a gaming machine of a different size on the gaming machine island on which the gaming machine is installed, but like a gaming machine between the portion corresponding to a living room and a mallet board It can be widely applied to the replacement of those having a frame or things such as a box when they are installed and fixed.
