The upper and lower two connection portions of the portion 192 are cut to separate the separate sealed portion 192 from the upper case 71, and the separated separate sealed portion 192 is rotated by a double caulking pin 193 in the direction of the rotation axis. Until the double caulking pin 193 is disengaged from the locking hole 128 and the separated sealed portion 192 is not removed together with the double caulking pin 193, the main control device 70 is rotated. The support frame 120 cannot be pulled out.

  The main control device 70 may be fixed to the support frame 120 by using a break screw or a one-way screw instead of the double caulking pin 193.

  Further, main controller 70 includes, as shown in FIG. 7, notification display section 300 for notifying the disconnection when connection section 181 of sealing member 140 at the lower right is cut.

  Here, a detailed configuration and the like of the notification display unit 300 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of main controller 70 taken along line CC of FIG. 7 in a state where connecting portion 181 of sealing member 140 is not cut. FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of main controller 70 taken along line CC of FIG. 7 in a state where connecting portion 181 of sealing member 140 has been cut. FIG. 17A is a partial front view showing the position of the lower right sealing member 140 of the main control device 70 before the cutting of the connecting portion 181, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a partial front view showing a position of a sealing member 140 in a state.

  First, as shown in FIG. 7, the connection portion 181 of the sealing member 140 is used to separate the sealing member 140 from the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 when releasing the sealing by the sealing member 140. A cutting site 182 to be cut is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the main control device 70 includes an LED 310 (see FIG. 6) mounted on the main control board 73, and light from the LED 310 that is incident from one end (incident end 321) and the other end. (Emission end side 322) and an optical fiber 320 as an optical transmission member disposed on the case upper 71.

  The optical fiber 320 is, for example, a plastic optical fiber. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the curl portion 323 (winding portion) curled to have elasticity and the curled portion 323 are compared. And a linear portion 324 that is linear. Since the optical fiber 320 employs plastic as its core material, the optical fiber 320 has a flexible structure capable of deforming, for example, bending the linear portion 324.

  The arrangement of the optical fiber 320 having the curl portion 323 and the LED 310 is schematically illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 9, and is more specifically illustrated in FIGS. 15 to 17.

  In the sealing member 140 on the right side of the upper case 71 shown in FIG. 7, an insertion hole 77 is formed from the inside of the upper case 71 to the middle of the sealing member 140 through the connecting portion 181 as shown in FIG. Have been.

  As shown in FIGS. 15 and 17 (a), the optical fiber 320 has an emission end side 322 inserted into the insertion hole 77 of the upper case 71 to notify the disconnection of the connection portion 181. That is, the optical fiber 320 is disposed inside the sealing member 140 such that the emission end side 322 passes through the inside of the connecting portion 181.

  The emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is adhesively fixed to the inner side of the insertion hole 77 of the upper case 71 by, for example, an adhesive 340. The adhesive 340 may be inserted into the inner side of the insertion hole 77 and then the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 may be inserted and bonded and fixed. Alternatively, the adhesive 340 may be attached to the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320. The optical fiber 320 may be inserted into the inner side of the insertion hole 77 and fixed by bonding. Also, as in the first embodiment, since the adhesive 340 is located at the light emission location on the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320, a light transmissive adhesive is employed. When a portion other than the light emission portion on the emission end side 322 is bonded to the insertion hole 77 with the adhesive 340, a non-transparent adhesive may be used.

  The incident end side 321 of the optical fiber 320 is inserted into a through hole 351 of a support member 350 provided inside the upper case 71 so as to face and approach the LED 310 mounted on the main control board 73. The optical fiber 320 in the inserted state is bonded and fixed to the support member 350 by, for example, an adhesive 340. Specifically, a recess receiving portion 352 for receiving the adhesive 340 is formed at a position on the tip end side of the support member 350, and the incident end side 321 of the optical fiber 320 is inserted into the through hole 351 of the support member 350. Then, an adhesive 340 is put into the recess receiving portion 352, and the incident end side 321 of the optical fiber 320 is bonded and fixed to the support member 350.

  In the first embodiment, the LED 310 of the main control board 73 and the incident end side 321 of the optical fiber 320 are disposed close to each other so as to face each other. An unillustrated light guide member (for example, a light guide component or an optical lens having an outer peripheral portion other than the incident surface and the outgoing surface as a light blocking surface) is provided between the light guide members and the light emitted from the LED 310 is not illustrated. The member may be guided to the incident end side 321 of the optical fiber 320 to be incident.

  As shown in FIG. 15, the optical fiber 320 includes a curl portion 323 having five turns, for example, between the incident end side 321 and the emission end side 322. As shown in FIG. 15, in a state where both ends of the optical fiber 320 are bonded and fixed with the adhesive 340, the curled portion 323 is in a state of being stretched in a length direction of the optical fiber 320 (a state in which the optical fiber 320 is pulled).

  The curled portion 323 of the optical fiber 320 urges the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 cut along with the cutting of the cut portion 182 so as to be drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182. It is.

  The main control board 73 is mounted with a secondary battery (not shown) for causing the LED 310 (see FIGS. 6 and 15) to emit light. The secondary battery (not shown) of the main control board 73 is charged by using a part of the electric power supplied from the slot machine 10 to the main control board 73 when the slot machine 10 is powered on. Even in the power-off state of 10, the LED 310 (see FIGS. 6 and 15) of the main control board 73 can emit light with power from a secondary battery (not shown). In the power-on state of the slot machine 10, the LED 310 (see FIGS. 6 and 15) emits light by power supplied to the main control board 73 or power from a secondary battery (not shown) of the main control board 73. You can also. Although a secondary battery is preferable, a primary battery may be employed.

  Light from the LED 310 is incident on the incident end side 321 of the optical fiber 320, passes through the optical fiber 320, and is emitted from the emission end side 322 located inside the sealing member 140. That is, in the normal state where the cut portion 182 is not cut, the sealing member 140 emits light with light emitted from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 as shown in FIGS.

  The light from the optical fiber 320 is incident on the cured resin 170 filled and cured in the receiving recess 152 of the sealed portion 150, and at least a part of the cured resin 170 emits light. When the light diffusing particles are included in the cured resin 170, the cured resin 170 can emit light uniformly.

  Further, when the cut portion 182 is cut, the curled portion 323 shrinks, so that the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is drawn in from the cut surface of the cut portion 182, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17B. As shown, the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is located at the cut notification display portion 78 on the case 71, and light is emitted from the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320, so that the cut notification display portion 78 is provided. Emits light. The cut information display portion 78 has the character "cut" as shown in FIG. 17, and when the cut portion 182 is cut, the character "cut" is displayed as shown in FIG. 17 (b). Since the light-emitting display of the notation portion is used, the operator can easily notice the light-emitting display, and the oversight that the connecting portion 181 of the sealing member 140 has been cut is reduced.

  In addition, a light diffusion layer is provided at an inner peripheral portion of the insertion hole 77 of the upper case 71 located at the cutting notification display portion 78 (for example, by applying a light diffusion paint or forming minute irregularities). ), The light emitting area may be expanded to further attract the attention of the operator. Further, a fluorescent paint may be applied to the above location.

  The upper case 71 described above corresponds to the first member of the present invention, a first case body described later, and the lower case 72 described above corresponds to the second member of the present invention, a second case body described later. The sealing member 140 corresponds to a sealing unit in the present invention, the above-described sealing member 140 corresponds to a sealing unit in the present invention, and the optical fiber 320 corresponds to a transmission member and an optical transmission member described below. The curled portion 323 corresponds to urging means described later, the LED 310 corresponds to a light source described later, the board case 74 corresponds to a gaming machine board accommodating case described later, and the bottomed locking hole described above. 151 corresponds to a locking hole described later, the caulking pin 160 corresponds to a locking member described later, and the case locking portion 130 corresponds to locking means described later.

  Here, a procedure for sealing the substrate case 74 of the first embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the main control board 73 is screwed to a predetermined position on the inner surface of the upper case 71.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the uppermost hook-shaped protrusion 131 of the upper case 71 is positioned between the uppermost hook-shaped protrusion 132 of the lower case 72 and the second hook-shaped protrusion 132. In this way, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are brought into a substantially matched state.

  Then, at least one of the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 is slid in the short direction to the length of the hook-like protrusion 131 to lock the hook-like protrusion 131 and the reverse hook-like protrusion 132. At the same time, the projecting portion 72e of the lower case 72 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 71e of the upper case 71, and the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are completely aligned. In this state, three upper fitting protrusions 71b on the upper surface side of the case upper 71 fit into the upper fitting holes 72a at three locations on the upper surface side of the lower case 72, and at the same time, the lower surface side of the upper case 71. Two lower fitting projections 72b on the lower surface side of the case lower 72 are fitted into the two lower fitting holes 71c.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6, the caulking pins 160 are inserted and locked into the bottomed locking holes 151 at the two sealed portions 150 on both lower sides of the board case 74. In this state, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 cannot be slid in the short direction due to the insertion and locking of the sealing member 140, that is, the caulking pin 160.

  Then, a portion of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 in the sealed portion 150 is filled with a resin before curing, and the filled resin before curing is irradiated with ultraviolet rays to be cured as shown in FIG.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6, the screw 75 is inserted into the screw hole 76 of the lower case 72 and fastened to the upper case 71. In this way, the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 are fixed not only by the sealing member 140 but also by this screwing so as to suppress the sliding movement thereof.

  Further, the board case 74 sealed in this way, that is, the main control device 70 is mounted on the mounting table 100 mounted at an upper position inside the main body 11. More specifically, the main control device 70 is inserted from above the support frame 120 in a state where the support frame 120 is tilted forward with respect to the metal frame 110 of the mounting table 100, and the support frame 120 is inserted. Attach to 120. In this mounting state, the lower support projection 71d at the center of the lower surface of the upper case 71 is fitted into the lower support hole 125 of the lower surface of the support frame 120, and the lower lower projection 72d of the lower case 72 is closed. The support upper projection 126 on the upper surface side of the support frame body 120 is fitted into the support upper fitting hole 72c at the location, and the locking projection 72d at the center of the upper surface on the back surface of the lower case 72 is engaged with the support frame body 120. Is locked in the locking hole 127 at the upper central part of the.

  Subsequently, the double caulking pin 193 is inserted into another insertion hole 191 of the another sealed portion 192 of the main control device 70 mounted on the support frame body 120, so that the double caulking pin 193 is supported. Main control device 70 is fixed to support frame 120. That is, in this fixed state, the upper and lower connection portions of the upper case 71 shown in FIG. 6 are cut to separate the separate sealed portion 192 from the case upper 71, and the separated separate sealed portion 192 is separated. The double caulking pin 193 is rotated 90 degrees with the pin direction as a rotation axis to release the locking of the double caulking pin 193 into the locking hole 128, and the separate sealed portion 192 separated is double caulked. Main controller 70 cannot be pulled out of support frame 120 unless pin 193 is removed.

  Finally, the support frame 120 to which the main control device 70 is attached and fixed is changed from the forward tilted state to the upright posture state, whereby the support frame 120 is locked to the metal frame 110 in the upright posture. The main control device 70 is finally mounted at an upper position inside the main body 11 as shown in FIG.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 10 of the first embodiment, the upper case 71, the lower case 72, and the sealing member 140 that seals the connection state between the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 so as not to be released. And a connecting portion 181 that connects the upper case 71 and the sealing member 140. The connecting portion 181 separates the upper case 71 and the sealing member 140 when the sealing by the sealing member 140 is released. An optical fiber 320 for notifying that the connection portion 181 has been cut, which is provided from the upper case 71 to the sealing member 140 so as to pass through at least the inside of the cut portion 182. The cutting end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 cut along with the cutting of the cut portion 182 is urged so as to be drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182. It includes a curl portion 323, a.

  Therefore, when the cut portion 182 of the connecting portion 181 is cut in order to release the connection between the upper case 71 and the lower case 72, the optical fiber 320 inside the cut portion 182 is also cut. The disconnection of the optical fiber 320 can notify the disconnection of the connecting portion 181. Further, since the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182 by the curl portion 323, the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 can be accessed. It becomes difficult to reduce illegal reconnection of the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320. As a result, it is possible to provide a slot machine 10 (game machine) that can reduce fraud.

  The optical fiber 320 is a light transmission member that receives light from the LED 310 from the incident end side 321 and emits the light from the emission end side 322 located inside the sealing member 140. In the normal state where the optical fiber 320 is not cut, the sealing member 140 emits light with the light emitted from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320, and in the state after the cut part 182 is cut, the cut end part 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is cut. The cutting notification display portion 78 on the case 71 where is located emits light.

  Therefore, in the normal state in which the cut portion 182 is not cut, the sealing member 140 emits light with the light emitted from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320. it can. Further, in the cut state of the cut portion 182, the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is located at the cut notification display portion 78 on the case 71, and the cut notification display portion 78 emits light. Since the disconnection notification display portion 78 different from the sealing member 140 is lit, the disconnection of the connecting portion 181 can be clearly notified. Further, since the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182, it becomes difficult to access the cut end portion 320a, and the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is removed. Unauthorized reconnection can be reduced.

  In the first embodiment, the cutting notification display portion 78 on the case 71 emits light in the state after the cut portion 182 has been cut. However, as shown in FIG. May be made to emit light at the cut portion of the connecting portion 181 where the cut end portion 320a is located. FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of main controller 70 along a line CC shown in FIG. 7 in a state where a cut portion of connecting portion 181 emits light. In this case, in the state after the cut portion 182 is cut, the cut portion of the connecting portion 181 where the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is located emits light. With this, it is possible to clearly notify the disconnection of the connecting portion 181. Further, since the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182, it becomes difficult to access the cut end portion 320a, and the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is removed. Unauthorized reconnection can be reduced.

  Further, in a gaming machine provided with a board case 74 accommodating a main control board 73 for controlling a predetermined game for the gaming machine, the board case 74 has a case upper 71 and a case which is combined with the case upper 71. A lower case 72 is provided. The board case 74 is provided at a predetermined position (for example, at two lower positions in a front view) of the case 71 on which the main control board 73 is mounted. A sealing member 140 that seals the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 in a state where the lower case 72 is aligned with the lower case 72 so that the substrate case 74 cannot be opened. The sealed portion 150 having a bottomed locking hole 151 formed in communication with a predetermined location in a state where the second portion 72 is aligned with the bottom portion, and is inserted and locked in the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150. Insert A caulking pin 160 having a stop portion 161 and a head 162 located on the rear end side of the insertion locking portion 161, and a caulking pin 160 inserted into the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150 and engaged. And a cured resin 170 filled and hardened at the position of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 in the sealed portion 150 in the stopped state, and the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 is And a fragile portion 163 adhered to the portion 150 to be sealed. Therefore, for example, when the cured resin 170 of the sealing member 140 is to be removed using an unauthorized thin member, the fragile portion 163 of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 is destroyed with the unauthorized removal of the cured resin 170. Since the fragile portion 163 is removed together with the removed cured resin 170, even if the fragile portion 163 is removed and the caulking pin 160 is reused improperly, the fragile portion 163 of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 is removed. By observing the breakage, it can be seen that the board case 74 has been opened. As a result, unsealing of the board case 74 attached to the slot machine 10 can be reduced, and the so-called two board cases 74 can be made fraudulently (from the two board cases 74, the intact upper case 71 and the lower case 72). (To make a single base case 74 by taking out), it is possible to provide a slot machine (gaming machine) that can reduce fraud.

  Also, since the sealed portion 150 employs the bottomed locking hole 151, the back side of the sealed portion 150 (that is, the side of the sealed portion 150 where the bottomed locking hole 151 exists) Access from the opposite side) can be disabled.

  Further, the receiving recess 152 provided around the entrance side of the bottomed locking hole 151 in the sealed portion 150 is provided with the caulking pin in a state where the caulking pin 160 is inserted and locked in the recessed space. Since the uncured resin is filled and cured in the recessed space in a state where the head 162 of the 160 is located, it is covered with the cured resin 170 in a state where the head 162 is located in the recessed space of the receiving recess 152. It is difficult to illegally remove the cured resin 170 in the recessed space, and if the cured resin 170 is to be removed using an illegal thin member, a pin is swaged with the illegal removal of the cured resin 170. Since the fragile portion 163 of the head 162 of the 160 is broken and the fragile portion 163 is removed together with the removed cured resin 170, even if the fragile portion 163 is removed and the pin 160 is illegally reused. By looking broken weak portion 163 of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160, it can be seen that the board case 74 has been opened. As a result, a gaming machine that can reduce fraudulent acts can be provided.

  Further, since the weak portion 163 is a plurality of extending portions 164 extending from the head 162 in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the caulking pin 160, the surface area of the plurality of extending portions 164 is reduced. The adhesive area between the head 162 and the cured resin 170 can be increased by the amount, and the adhesive force between the head 162 and the cured resin 170 is improved by the increased amount. If an attempt is made to remove it using a member, one of the plurality of extending portions 164 of the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160 is broken due to the improper removal of the cured resin 170, and the removal is performed. A part of the extending portion 164 is removed together with the cured resin 170, and even if the extending portion 164 is removed and the caulking pin 160 is illegally reused, the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 is removed. Extension part 1 By looking at 4 of the damage, it can be seen that the board case 74 has been opened.

  Further, the sealed portion 150 is inserted by setting the protruding portion 72e provided on the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 provided on the upper case 71 together. The bottomed locking hole 151 has a through hole 72f formed through the protruding portion 72e in a direction perpendicular to the protruding direction, and the protruding portion 72e is inserted into the housing portion 71e. In this state, an insertion hole 71f formed on one opening side of the through hole 72f in communication with the housing portion 71e and an insertion through hole 71g formed on the other opening side of the through hole 72f in communication with the housing portion 71e. It is configured. Therefore, since the boundary surface BL between the case upper part 71 and the case lower part 72 at the location where the sealing member 140 exists is surrounded by the housing portion 71e, it is difficult to insert an improper thin member into the boundary surface BL. It is possible to make it difficult to insert an incorrect thin member into the boundary surface BL and separate the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 at the location where the sealing member 140 exists. Further, even if an illegal thin member is inserted at the boundary between the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 other than the housing portion 71e, only the force is applied in the projecting direction of the projecting portion 72e, and the boundary surface BL is separated. That is, since no force is applied in the direction in which the caulking pin 160 comes off, even if an illegal thin member is forcibly inserted at the boundary between the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 other than the housing portion 71e, the sealing member 140 is sealed. Can not be released. As a result, a gaming machine using the board case 74 that can reduce unauthorized opening can be provided.

  Further, the case locking portion 130 of the board case 74 is arranged such that the case lower portion 72 is aligned with the mounting surface side of the main control board 73 on the case upper portion 71 on which the main control board 73 is mounted. The upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are locked by sliding at least one of the 72 in the predetermined direction of the mating surface (in the present embodiment, for example, the short direction of the substrate case 74). The sealing member 140 seals the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 locked by the case locking portion 130 so as not to be opened. Therefore, since the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are sealed by the sealing member 140 so that the board case 74 cannot be opened, it is possible to reduce the possibility of the substrate case 74 being opened illegally. In this sealed state, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are slidably locked by the case locking portion 130, and the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 cannot be opened in the opposite direction orthogonal to the sliding direction. In addition, unauthorized opening of the board case 74 can be reduced.

  In addition, the case locking portion 130 of the board case 74 has four hook-like protrusions 131 (in FIG. 6 and FIG. 9, indicated by broken lines) (Shown by broken lines because they cannot be seen), and four hook-shaped hooks formed in opposite directions to the hook-shaped protrusions 131, which are arranged side by side at both short sides of the lower case 72. A projection 132 is provided, and at least one of the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 is slid to lock the hook-like projection 131 and the reverse hook-like projection 132. In a sealed state in which the lower case 71 and the lower case 72 are sealed so as not to be opened, a plurality of hook-like protrusions 131 and a reverse hook-like protrusion arranged over a predetermined length on both sides of the upper case 71 or the lower case 72. The slide is locked by the part 132, A gap between the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 or the opening of the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 may be opened by inserting an illegal tool having a shape between the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. This can reduce the possibility that the substrate case 74 is illegally formed with a gap or opened.

  Further, the sealing member 140 fixes the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 so as to prevent the sliding movement thereof. Furthermore, when the fixed release destruction target portion 180 of the sealing member 140 is broken, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are released from the non-slidable state. Therefore, by observing the destruction trace of the fixed release destruction portion 180, it can be seen that the substrate case 74 has been opened.

  In a single state in which the board case 74 is detached from the mounting base 100, the board case 74 can be opened by breaking the two fixed release breaking portions 180 under the case 72 as shown in FIG. The upper case 71 and the lower case 72 can be slid). In addition, when the board case 74 is attached to the mounting base 100, it is not possible to directly access the two fixed release-destroyed portions 180 under the case 72 shown in FIG. 8, and as shown in FIG. At first, by breaking the upper two fixed release destructible portions 180 of the upper case 71, the two lower fix release destructible portions 180 of the lower case 72 located at the far side are directly accessed and cut. be able to.

  Further, since the fixed release releasing destructed portion 180 is a connecting portion 181 that connects the upper case 71 or the lower case 72 and the sealing member 140, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are broken by breaking the connecting portion 181. , And the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 can be opened. Since the sealing member 140 remains on the upper case 71 or the lower case 72, it can be seen that the breakage mark has opened the seal.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the lower two connection portions 181 of the upper case 71 can be used as support portions instead of being cut and broken. As described above, when the lower two connection portions 181 of the upper case 71 are used as the support portions, the upper two connection portions 181 of the upper case 71 and the two connection portions 181 of the lower case 72 are cut off. Even if done, it is possible to prevent the sealing member 140 from falling into the slot machine 10.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13B, by increasing the length of the caulking pin 160, the insertion side surface of the head 162 and the surrounding area of the through hole 72 f of the protruding portion 72 e of the lower case 72 are fixed to a predetermined position. The gap 200 may be provided at intervals (for example, an interval of about 1 to 2 mm). In this case, the sealing member 140 is sealed with the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 in a state where the caulking pin 160 is inserted and locked in the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150. The gap portion 200 in which a predetermined gap is formed between the portion 150 and the sealed portion in a state where the caulking pin 160 is inserted and locked in the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150. Since there is provided a cured resin 170 which is filled in the portion of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 at 150 and hardened in such a way as to also go around the gap 200, the sealed portion 150 and the caulking pin 160 The head 162, that is, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 and the caulking pin 160 can be bonded with the cured resin 170. In addition, since the cured resin 170 also wraps around and is bonded to the gap 200 between the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160 and the sealed portion 150, for example, the cured resin 170 of the sealing member 140 is improperly attached. Even if an attempt is made to remove using the thin member, it takes time to remove the cured resin 170 on the front side (front side) of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160, and the back side (back side) of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160. That is, it is more difficult to remove the cured resin 170 because the cured resin 170 that has entered the gap 200 cannot be directly accessed. Is maintained in a bonded state, and it is difficult to remove the caulking pin 160. Therefore, it is difficult to illegally open the board case 74. As a result, it is possible to provide a slot machine (game machine) that can reduce fraud.

  As shown in FIG. 12A, a predetermined portion formed between the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160 and the sealed portion 150 and closer to the tip side in the insertion direction than a part of the head portion 162. Since the hardened resin 170 wraps around and is also bonded to the gap (corresponding to the gap 200), it is more difficult to remove the hardened resin 170 since the hardened resin 170 that has wrapped around cannot be directly accessed. In addition, since the caulking pin 160 and the sealed portion 150 are maintained in a state of being adhered by the cured resin 170 in the gap 200, it is difficult to remove the caulking pin 160.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the sealed portion 150 is formed so as to protrude at an inner peripheral portion on the opening side of the bottomed locking hole 151, and is bonded to the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160 by the cured resin 170. The fragile portion 154 may be provided. As shown in FIG. 14, the fragile portion 154 is an inner peripheral portion near the entrance of the bottomed locking hole 151, and two inner peripheral protrusions protruding at, for example, two locations along the circumferential direction. 153. The two protruding portions 153 have such a protruding length that they can enter into a recess between two adjacent extending portions 164 of the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, in the front view state of the sealed portion 150, the left inner peripheral projection 153 exists so as to face a recessed portion between two adjacent extending portions 164 on the left side. However, the right inner peripheral projection 153 exists so as to face a recessed portion between two extending portions 164 adjacent to each other on the right, so that the two inner peripheral portions of the bottomed locking hole 151 are provided. The shape surrounded by the protruding portion 153 and the six extending portions 164 of the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160 is a complicated shape, and the shape of the cured resin 170 filled and hardened in this portion Can be in such a complicated form.

  In this case, if the cured resin 170 of the sealing member 140 is removed by using an incorrect thin member to illegally remove the caulking pin 160, the sealing resin is removed along with the unauthorized removal of the cured resin 170. Since the fragile part 154 of the part 150 is broken and the fragile part 154 is removed together with the removed cured resin 170, even if the sealed part 150 from which the fragile part 154 is removed is illegally reused, By observing the breakage of the fragile portion 154 of the sealed portion 150, it can be seen that the substrate case 74 has been opened. As a result, it is possible to provide a slot machine (game machine) that can reduce fraud.

  Further, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 14, the inner peripheral projection 153 may have a cutout groove 155 formed at the base end thereof. That is, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 14, a predetermined depth (for example, 1 mm) Notch groove 155 is formed. Note that the cutout groove 155 may be formed at the front end on the base end side of the inner peripheral projection 153, or may be formed on both the front and back surfaces.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, since the inner peripheral projection 153 of the bottomed locking hole 151 has a cutout groove 155 on the base end side, the cured resin 170 is formed by using an incorrect thin member. If it is tried to remove, the inner peripheral projection 153 of the bottomed locking hole 151 is more easily broken due to the improper removal of the cured resin 170, and together with the removed cured resin 170, the inner peripheral projection 153 is removed. Since the inner peripheral projection 153 of the bottomed locking hole 151 is broken, it can be seen that the board case 74 has been opened.

  Next, the notification display unit 300 of the board case 74 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view of main controller 70 according to the second embodiment taken along line CC of FIG. 7 in a state where connecting portion 181 of sealing member 140 is not cut. FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view of main controller 70 according to the second embodiment taken along line CC of FIG. 7 in a state where connecting portion 181 of sealing member 140 is cut off. FIG. 21A is a partial front view showing the location of the sealing member 140 at the lower right of the main control device 70 according to the second embodiment before the connection portion 181 is cut, and FIG. FIG. 181 is a partial front view showing a portion of the sealing member 140 in a state after cutting in FIG. 181;

  The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a light-exiting end 322 of the optical fiber 320 is provided with a shielding portion 360 for reducing the light emission from the light-exiting end 322. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the configuration different from that of the first embodiment will be described in detail below, and the description of the same configuration as the first embodiment will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 21A, the optical fiber 320 includes a shielding portion 360 on the emission end side 322 for blocking emission of light from the emission end side 322.

  As shown in FIGS. 19 and 21A, in a normal state in which the cut portion 182 is not cut, the light emission from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is blocked by the shielding portion 360. Is off.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21 (b), when the cut portion 182 is cut, the curl portion 323 shrinks, so that the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is internally cut from the cut surface of the cut portion 182. The cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 that has been drawn in is positioned at the cut notification portion 78 on the case 71, and light is emitted from the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320, so that the cut notification display portion 78 is provided. Emits light.

  In the second embodiment, the shielding part 360 is adopted on the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320. Instead of this shielding part 360, the light is emitted on the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 toward the incident end side 321. (Not shown) that reflects light.

  Note that the above-described shielding section 360 and reflecting section (not shown) correspond to a terminal section described later.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 10 of the second embodiment, the light from the LED 310 enters the optical fiber 320 from the incident end side 321, and the light from the emission end side 322 located inside the sealing member 140. An optical fiber 320 from which light is emitted. The optical fiber 320 includes a shielding part 360 (which may be the above-described reflecting part (not shown)) for shielding the emission of light from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320. In the normal state where the cutting section 182 is cut off in the normal state where the cutting section 182 is cut off, the cutting notification display area 78 on the upper case 71 where the cut end section 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is located emits light. I do.

  Therefore, in the normal state where the cut portion 182 is not cut, the connecting portion 181 is turned off, but in the cut state of the cut portion 182, the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is located. Since the cutting notification display portion 78 of the upper portion 71 emits light, the cutting notification display portion 78 different from the sealing member 140 is lit, so that the disconnection of the connecting portion 181 can be clearly notified. Further, since the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182, it becomes difficult to access the cut end portion 320a, and the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is removed. Unauthorized reconnection can be reduced.

  In the second embodiment, the cutting notification display portion 78 on the case 71 emits light in a state after the cut portion 182 is cut, as shown in FIG. 18 in the first embodiment. Alternatively, the cut portion of the connecting portion 181 where the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is located may emit light. In this case, in the state after the cut portion 182 is cut, the cut portion of the connecting portion 181 where the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is located emits light. With this, it is possible to clearly notify the disconnection of the connecting portion 181. Further, since the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182, it becomes difficult to access the cut end portion 320a, and the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is removed. Unauthorized reconnection can be reduced.

  Next, a notification display unit 300 of the board case 74 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 22 is a cross-sectional view of main controller 70 according to the third embodiment taken along line CC of FIG. 7 in a state where connecting portion 181 of sealing member 140 is not cut. FIG. 23 is a cross-sectional view of main controller 70 according to the third embodiment taken along line CC of FIG. 7 in a state where connecting portion 181 of sealing member 140 is cut off. FIG. 24A is a partial front view showing the location of the sealing member 140 at the lower right of the main control device 70 according to the third embodiment in a state before the connection portion 181 is cut, and FIG. FIG. 181 is a partial front view showing a portion of the sealing member 140 in a state after cutting in FIG. 181;

  In the third embodiment, similarly to the above-described second embodiment, in the configuration in which the shielding section 360 is provided on the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320, the optical output section 325 is provided at a position of the optical fiber 320 located at the connection section 181. This is different from the above-described second embodiment. Therefore, in the third embodiment, a configuration different from the above-described second embodiment will be described in detail below, and a description of the same configuration as the second embodiment will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the optical fiber 320 includes a light output unit 325 that outputs light at a position located at the connection unit 181. The light output unit 325 is obtained by, for example, cutting out an outer peripheral portion of the optical fiber 320 located at the connection unit 181 in a V-shaped shape. After the optical fiber 320 is formed, the optical output portion 325 may be cut out in a V-shape or the notch may be formed at the same time when the optical fiber 320 is molded with plastic.

  As shown in FIGS. 22 and 24A, in a normal state in which the cut portion 182 is not cut, the light emission from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is blocked by the shielding portion 360. Is turned off, but the connection portion 181 is turned on due to emission of light from the light output portion 325 located at the connection portion 181 in the optical fiber 320.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24 (b), when the cut portion 182 is cut, the curl portion 323 shrinks, and the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 moves from the cut surface of the cut portion 182 to the inside. The cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 that has been drawn in is positioned at the cut notification portion 78 on the case 71, and light is emitted from the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320, so that the cut notification display portion 78 is provided. Emits light. In addition, since the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is positioned by being drawn into the cut notification display portion 78 on the case 71, the cut connecting portion 181 is turned off.

  In the third embodiment, the shielding part 360 is employed on the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320, but a reflecting part (not shown) may be employed as in the second embodiment.

  Note that the above-described light output unit 325 corresponds to an emission unit described later.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 10 of the third embodiment, the optical fiber 320 receives the light from the LED 310 from the incident end side 321 and forms the light output unit 325 formed at the location located at the coupling unit 181. In the normal state where the cut portion 182 is not cut, the connecting portion 181 emits light with the light emitted from the light output portion 325, and in the cut state of the cut portion 182, it is retracted. The cut notification display portion 78 on the case 71 where the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 is located emits light.

  Therefore, in the normal state in which the cut portion 182 is not cut, the connection portion 181 emits light, so that the cut portion of the connection portion 181 can be indicated. Further, in the cut state of the cut portion 182, the cut notification display portion 78 on the case 71 where the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is located emits light, so that a cut notification different from the sealing member 140 is performed. Since the display portion 78 is lit, the disconnection of the connecting portion 181 can be clearly notified. Further, since the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182, it becomes difficult to access the cut end portion 320a, and the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is removed. Unauthorized reconnection can be reduced.

  Next, a notification display unit 300 of the board case 74 of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 25A is a partial front view showing the location of the sealing member 140 at the lower right of the main control device 70 according to the fourth embodiment before the cutting of the connecting portion 181. FIG. FIG. 181 is a partial front view showing a portion of the sealing member 140 in a state after cutting in FIG. 181;

  In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25A, an optical fiber 320 having a curl portion 323 is passed through two connecting portions 181, and an optical signal incident from an incident end side 321 of the optical fiber 320 is emitted. It differs from the above-described first to third embodiments in that a configuration is provided in which the presence or absence of cutting of the cut portion 182 of the connecting portion 181 is notified by whether or not the detection is normally performed by the detector 370 on the end side 322. . Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, the configuration different from the above-described first to third embodiments will be described in detail below, and the description of the same configuration as the first to third embodiments will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 25A, the optical fiber 320 is passed through two connecting portions 181, and an LED 310 for inputting an optical signal is disposed on an incident end side 321 of the optical fiber 320. Connected to the side 322 is a detector 370 for detecting the transmitted optical signal.

  In this embodiment, the detector 370 detects whether or not the incident light amount of the optical signal from the optical fiber 320 is equal to or larger than a threshold. Note that a pulse signal, various modulation signals, or the like may be used as the optical signal, and a detector that detects whether the signal is a normal pulse signal, a normal modulation signal, or the like in the detector 370 may be used.

  The detector 370 is further connected to a display unit 375, and the display unit 375 provides a display notifying that the cut site 182 has been cut when an optical signal is abnormally detected by the detector 370. As the display unit 375, various kinds of displays such as a small liquid crystal display and a digital display may be employed in addition to a lamp or an LED that lights or flashes the notification.

  As described above, the display unit 375 may perform the display only when an abnormality is detected. However, when the optical signal is normally detected by the detector 370, the display unit 375 indicates that the cut portion 182 is cut. A normal display indicating that the information has not been displayed may be displayed.

  In addition, a curl portion 323 is located between the left connecting portion 181 and the detector 370 in FIG.

  Note that the above-described detector 370 corresponds to a detecting unit in the present invention, and the display unit 375 corresponds to a suggesting unit in the present invention.

  The optical fiber 320 receives an optical signal from the LED 310 from the incident end side 321 and transmits the optical signal to the detector 370 on the emission end side 322. Then, in the normal state in which the cut portion 182 is not cut, as shown in FIG. 25A, the optical signal transmitted to the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is normally detected by the detector 370, and the display unit A normal display 375 indicates that the cut site 182 has not been cut.

  When the cut portion 182 is cut as shown in FIG. 25 (b), the optical signal from the optical fiber 320 cannot be detected by the detector 370, and the display unit 375 displays a display indicating the cut of the cut portion 182. I do. Further, as shown in FIG. 25B, when the cut portion 182 is cut, the curled portion 323 shrinks, so that the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is drawn in from the cut surface of the cut portion 182. .

  As described above, according to the slot machine 10 of the fourth embodiment, the optical fiber 320 is an optical transmission member that receives an optical signal from the input end 321 and transmits the optical signal to the output end 322. A detector 370 for detecting an optical signal output from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320; and a display notifying that the cut portion 182 of the connecting portion 181 is cut when the optical signal from the optical fiber 320 is not detected by the detector 370. And a display unit 375 for performing the following. Therefore, the disconnection of the connecting portion 181 can be clearly notified by the display portion 375. Further, since the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182, it becomes difficult to access the cut end portion 320a, and the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is removed. Unauthorized reconnection can be reduced.

  Although the optical fiber 320 is employed in the fourth embodiment, a conductor having a curled portion 323 is employed, and the presence or absence of an electric signal from the conductor is detected by a detector 370, and the detector 370 detects the electric signal. May be displayed on the display unit 375 to notify the user of the disconnection of the cut portion 182 of the connecting unit 181 when is not detected. In this case, the same effect as in the fourth embodiment is obtained.

  In the fourth embodiment, the display unit 375 is employed as the suggestion means. However, instead of the display unit 375, an audio output unit (not shown) for notifying the disconnection by the notification sound may be employed. Further, an audio output unit (not shown) may be employed together with the display unit 375.

  Next, a board case 74 of the slot machine 10 according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

The fragile portions 154 are five inner peripheral projections 153 protruding at, for example, five locations along the circumferential direction near the entrance of the bottomed locking hole 151. In the fifth embodiment, the inner peripheral projection 153 has such a protruding length that it does not contact the extension 164 of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160. That is, the distal end of the inner peripheral projection 153 and the distal end of the extension 164 are positioned at a predetermined interval (for example, an interval of about 1 to 2 mm).

  In the fifth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 27A, five inner peripheral projections 153 are formed in the inner peripheral direction of the bottomed locking hole 151 so as to protrude, and the extension of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 is extended. Since the number of the projecting portions 164 is eight, the numbers of both are different. That is, as shown in FIG. 27A, when the sealed portion 150 is viewed from the front, a recess between the portion where the inner peripheral protrusion 153 faces the extension 164 and the adjacent inner peripheral protrusion 153. Since there is a part to which the extension part 164 faces in the part, there are five inner projection parts 153 of the bottomed locking hole 151 and eight extension parts 164 of the head part 162 of the caulking pin 160, etc. The shape surrounded by is complicatedly penetrating, and the shape of the cured resin 170 filled and cured at this location can be such a complicated penetrating shape.

Note that the cutout groove 155 may be formed at the front end on the base end side of the inner peripheral projection 153, or may be formed on both the front and back surfaces.

  As shown in FIG. 27D, the inner peripheral projection 153 has a projection shape like an internal gear, the extension 164 has a projection shape like an external gear, and the caulking pin 160 has a bottomed locking hole. The inner gear 153 may be shaped so that the inner gear-shaped inner peripheral projection 153 and the outer gear-shaped extension 164 engage with each other in a state where the inner gear 151 is inserted and locked. For example, in FIG. 27D, a plurality of (for example, eight) inner peripheral projections 153 and a plurality of (for example, eight) extending parts 164 are provided between adjacent inner peripheral projections 153. The extension 164 is disposed so as to be located.

  Similarly to the first embodiment, the bottomed locking holes 151 are, in order from the entrance side, an insertion through-hole 71g of the upper case 71, a through-hole 72f of the projecting portion 72e of the lower case 72, and a Since the diameter of the insertion through hole 71g of the upper case 71 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 72f of the protrusion 72e of the lower case 72, each inner peripheral projection is formed. A part of the lower case 72 (a part of the periphery of the through hole 72f of the protruding part 72e) is exposed between 153, and a part of the lower case 72 (a part of the periphery of the through hole 72f of the protruding part 72e). The cured resin 170 described later adheres to the substrate.

  As shown in FIG. 27, when the caulking pin 160 is inserted and locked in the bottomed locking hole 151, the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 is located in the receiving recess 152. In this state, the resin before curing is filled in the receiving recesses 152, and the resin before curing is cured by irradiating ultraviolet rays in the same manner as in Example 1 described above. The hardened resin 170 is hardened while also entering the groove 165 of the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160, and each inner circumference at the five inner circumferential projections 153 near the entrance of the bottomed locking hole 151. It is hardened in a state where it enters between the projections 153 and between the inner peripheral projections 153 and the extension 164. The cured resin 170 adheres the bottomed locking hole 151 and the caulking pin 160. That is, the upper case 71, the lower case 72, and the caulking pin 160 are bonded.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 10 of the fifth embodiment, the surface area of the inner peripheral projection 153 of the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150 is also equal to the cured resin of the bottomed locking hole 151. The adhesive area between the bottomed locking hole 151 and the cured resin 170 can be further improved by the increased area, and the surface area of the groove 165 of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 can be increased. As a result, the adhesive area between the head 162 and the cured resin 170 can be increased, and the adhesive force between the head 162 and the cured resin 170 is further improved by the increased amount, and the extended portion is formed by the groove 165. Since the cured resin 170 is easily broken, if the cured resin 170 is to be removed using an illegal thin member, the extension 164 of the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160 is caused by the illegal removal of the cured resin 170. In the notch groove 165 The extension portion 164 is removed together with the removed cured resin 170, so that even if the extension portion 164 is broken and the caulking pin 160 is reused improperly, the head of the caulking pin 160 is removed. By seeing the breakage of the extension 164 of 162, it can be seen that the board case 74 has been opened.

  Also, if the curable resin 170 is to be removed using an incorrect thin member, the inner peripheral projection 153 of the bottomed locking hole 151 is broken due to the improper removal of the curable resin 170, and the removed hardened resin is removed. Since the inner peripheral projection 153 is removed together with the resin 170, the breaking of the inner peripheral projection 153 of the bottomed locking hole 151 indicates that the board case 74 has been opened.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 27 (a), the inner peripheral projection 153 of the bottomed locking hole 151 has a cutout groove 155 at the base end side, so that the cured resin 170 is improperly thin. When the resin is removed with the use of the hardened resin 170, the inner peripheral projection 153 of the bottomed locking hole 151 is more easily broken due to the improper removal of the cured resin 170, and the inner peripheral projection is removed together with the removed hardened resin 170. Since the protrusion 153 is removed, it can be seen that the substrate case 74 has been opened by observing the break of the inner protrusion 153 of the bottomed locking hole 151.

  Next, a board case 74 of the slot machine 10 according to the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIGS. 28A to 28G are a top view, a left side view, a front view, a right side view, a back view, a bottom view, and a perspective view from the front right upper side of the swaging pin 160 of the sixth embodiment in that order. It is. FIGS. 29A to 29D are a front view, a right side view, a bottom view, and a partial perspective view of the sealed portion 150 according to the sixth embodiment viewed from the upper right of the front in that order.

FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing a state of being inserted into a 150.

  The sixth embodiment differs from the first and fifth embodiments in the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 and a part of the bottomed locking hole 151. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, the swaging pin 160 of the sixth embodiment does not have the extending portion 164 of the first and fifth embodiments and the groove 165 of the fifth embodiment. The head 162 has, on its front side, a receiving portion 166 filled with a pre-cured resin. The receiving portion 166 is located outside the insertion locking portion 161 when viewed in the insertion direction of the caulking pin 160. In the same manner as in the above-described fifth embodiment, the inflow hole 167 that penetrates the insertion side surface of the head 162 is provided at the position of the bottom part. The fifth embodiment is different from the first and fifth embodiments in that the second embodiment has a circular shape and does not include the inner peripheral projection 153 of the fifth embodiment. The description of the same configuration as in the first and fifth embodiments will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the caulking pin 160 according to the sixth embodiment has a concave receiving portion 166 filled with a pre-cured resin on the front side surface of the head portion 162. As shown in FIGS. 28 (c) and (e), the receiving tray 166 is inserted into the head 162 at a position outside the insertion locking portion 161 when viewed in the insertion direction of the caulking pin 160. An inflow hole 167 penetrating the side surface is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 30 (b), when the caulking pin 160 of the sixth embodiment is inserted into the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed part 150, the caulking pin 160 is inserted as shown in FIGS. 29 and 30 (a). Is locked in the bottomed locking hole 151. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 30A, the insertion locking portion 161 of the caulking pin 160 is locked in the insertion hole 71f of the upper case 71, which is the back side of the bottomed locking hole 151.

  As shown in FIG. 30 (a), the insertion through hole 71 g of the upper case 71 has a larger diameter than the insertion locking portion 161 of the caulking pin 160, and the through hole 72 f of the projection 72 e of the lower case 72 has , The diameter is smaller than the insertion through hole 71g. Further, as shown in FIG. 30A, the tip end side of the caulking pin 160 is inserted into the insertion hole 71f of the upper case 71, and the insertion locking portion 161 of the caulking pin 160 is inserted into the projecting portion 72e of the lower case 72. Is locked at a portion around the back side through opening at the through hole 72f.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 30A, in a state where the caulking pin 160 is inserted and locked in the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150, the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 is sealed. A gap portion 200 that is a predetermined gap is formed between the gap portion 200 and the portion 150. In the sixth embodiment, the diameter of the insertion through-hole 71g of the upper case 71 is made larger than the diameter of the insertion locking portion 161 of the caulking pin 160 and smaller than the diameter of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160. The gap 200 is formed between the portion 162 and a portion around the through hole 72f of the lower case 72. The gap portion 200 is a gap provided between the recessed surface of the receiving recess 152 and the insertion side surface of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160.

  As shown in FIG. 30A, in a state where the caulking pin 160 is inserted and locked in the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150, the head of the swaged pin 160 at the sealed portion 150. When the uncured resin is filled in the portion 162, that is, the receiving portion 166 of the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160, the uncured resin enters the gap 200 through the inflow hole 167 of the receiving portion 166. By irradiating the ultraviolet rays, the cured resin 170 is cured in a state where the cured resin 170 also reaches the gap 200.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 10 of the sixth embodiment, the sealing member 140 is locked by inserting the caulking pin 160 into the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150. The caulking pin 160 is inserted into the gap portion 200 in which a predetermined gap is formed between the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160 and the sealed portion 150 and the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150. And a cured resin 170 which is filled in the portion of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 in the sealed portion 150 in the locked state, and is cured in such a manner as to also go around the gap portion 200. Therefore, the sealed portion 150 and the head 162 of the caulking pin 160, that is, the upper case 71 or the lower case 72 and the caulking pin 160 can be bonded with the cured resin 170. In addition, since the cured resin 170 also wraps around and is bonded to the gap 200 between the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160 and the sealed portion 150, for example, the cured resin 170 of the sealing member 140 is improperly attached. Even if an attempt is made to remove using the thin member, it takes time to remove the cured resin 170 on the front side (front side) of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160, and the back side (back side) of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160. That is, it is more difficult to remove the cured resin 170 because the cured resin 170 that has entered the gap 200 cannot be directly accessed. Is maintained in a bonded state, and it is difficult to remove the caulking pin 160. Therefore, it is difficult to illegally open the board case 74. As a result, it is possible to provide a slot machine (game machine) that can reduce fraud.

  Further, the receiving recess 152 provided around the entrance side of the bottomed locking hole 151 in the sealed portion 150 is provided with the caulking pin in a state where the caulking pin 160 is inserted and locked in the recessed space. Since the uncured resin is filled and cured in the recessed space in a state where the head 162 of the 160 is located, it is covered with the cured resin 170 in a state where the head 162 is located in the recessed space of the receiving recess 152. Therefore, it is difficult to illegally remove the cured resin 170 in the hollow space. Since the gap 200 is a predetermined gap provided between the recessed surface of the receiving recess 152 and the insertion side surface of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160, the recessed surface of the receiving recess 152 and the head of the caulking pin 160 are formed. The cured resin 170 can also wrap around and adhere to the gap 200 between the insertion side surface of the portion 162 and, for example, even if the cured resin 170 of the sealing member 140 is to be removed using an incorrect thin member. Since it is not possible to directly access the hardened resin 170 that has entered the insertion surface side (back side) of the head portion 162 of the caulking pin 160 in the receiving recess 152, that is, the gap 200, it is more difficult to remove the hardened resin 170. Moreover, the state in which the caulking pin 160 and the sealed portion 150 are adhered to each other with the cured resin 170 in the gap portion 200 in the receiving concave portion 152 is maintained. It is difficult to remove the down 160. Therefore, it is difficult to illegally open the board case 74. As a result, a gaming machine that can reduce fraudulent acts can be provided.

The uncured resin can easily flow toward the insertion side surface of the head 162 through the inflow hole 167 of the tray portion 166 and easily wrap around the gap portion 200, and the recessed surface of the receiving recess 152 and the insertion side surface of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160. The cured resin 170 wraps around the gap 200 between the two and can be bonded to the gap 200, and the cured resin 170 wrapped around the gap 200 is not directly accessible, so it is more difficult to remove the cured resin 170. And fraudulent acts can be reduced.

  The bottomed locking hole 151 includes an insertion through hole 71g, a through hole 72f of the protruding portion 72e, and an insertion hole 71f. The insertion through-hole 71g has a larger diameter than the insertion portion where the insertion locking portion 161 of the caulking pin 160 exists, and the through-hole 72f of the protrusion 72e has a smaller diameter than the insertion through-hole 71g. Therefore, in a state where the caulking pin 160 is inserted into the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150 and locked, the uncured resin filled in the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 in the sealed portion 150 Can also flow into the gap between the insertion through-hole 71g and the caulking pin 160 and be in contact with the upper case 71, the lower case 72, and the caulking pin 160. Ultraviolet light can easily hit the uncured resin in the gaps and can be easily cured. The cured resin 170 can bond the three members of the upper case 71, the lower case 72, and the caulking pin 160, and it is not possible to remove the cured resin 170 that has entered the insertion through hole 71g of the bottomed locking hole 151. It is even more difficult and fraud can be reduced.

  Next, a board case 74 of the slot machine 10 according to the eighth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 38 is a front view of a main controller 70 according to the eighth embodiment. FIG. 39 is a partial front view showing 140 sealing members in main controller 70 before connecting portion 181 is cut. FIG. 40 is a cross-sectional view of main controller 70 taken along line DD shown in FIG. FIG. 41 is a cross-sectional view of main controller 70 taken along line DD in a state where connecting portion 181 is disconnected. FIG. 42 (a) is a partial front view showing a portion of the sealing member 140 in the main control device 70 before the connecting portion 181 is cut, and FIG. 42 (b) is a diagram after the connecting portion 181 is cut. FIG. 5 is a partial front view showing 140 places of a sealing member in the main control device 70.

  In the eighth embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 38 and 39, the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is close to the light-transmitting cured resin 170 of the sealing member 140. It is arranged. As shown in FIG. 39, when viewed from the front of the main controller 70, the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is disposed so as to face the center of the sealing member 140 (the pin center of the caulking pin 160). I have.

  Further, in the first embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 7, the number of connecting portions 181 connected to the sealed portion 150 in the vertical direction is two, but in the eighth embodiment, as shown in FIG. One connecting portion 181 is connected to the sealed portion 150 in the direction. As shown in FIG. 39, the connecting portion 181 is formed so that the connecting direction is directed toward the center of the receiving recess 152. As shown in FIG. 40, the linear portion 324 of the optical fiber 320 passes through the inside of the connecting portion 181.

  As shown in FIGS. 39 and 40, the optical fiber 320 according to the eighth embodiment has the emission end side 322 positioned at a location near the cured resin 170 in the sealing member 140 (for example, at the location of the receiving recess 152). In the same manner as in the first embodiment, the light-transmitting adhesive 340 is used. In addition, the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is directed to the center of the receiving recess 152 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 40, the optical fiber 320 includes a curled portion 323 as in the first embodiment, and in a state where the optical fiber 320 is disposed, the curled portion 323 is in a state of being stretched in the length direction thereof. .

  Since the upper case 71 and the caulking pin 160 are formed of a transparent resin and the cured resin 170 is also a light-transmitting resin, the cut portion 182 is cut as shown in FIGS. In a normal state where light is not emitted, light emitted from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 enters the receiving recess 152 and the cured resin 170 of the sealing member 140 on the case 71, and enters the receiving recess 152 and the cured resin 170. The receiving recesses 152 and the cured resin 170 emit light by the emitted light. When light diffusing particles are included in the cured resin 170, the cured resin 170 can emit light more uniformly.

  Further, since the caulking pin 160 is also transparent, the caulking pin 160 emits light by light incident on the caulking pin 160 via the cured resin 170.

  Further, the light diffusing particles may be included in the transparent resin forming the upper case 71 and the caulking pin 160 so that the sealing member 140 and the caulking pin 160 on the case 71 may emit light more uniformly.

  As shown in FIGS. 40 and 42A, in the normal state where the cut portion 182 is not cut, the light emitted from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 enters the receiving recess 152 of the sealing member 140. While being incident, the light emitted from the receiving recess 152 toward the cured resin 170 is incident on the cured resin 170. The light thus incident is emitted from the receiving recess 152 and the cured resin 170, so that the receiving recess 152 and the cured resin 170 emit light.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 41, when the cut portion 182 of the connecting portion 181 is cut, the linear portion 324 of the optical fiber 320 is also cut along with the cut, and the cut optical fiber 320 is cut. The end portion 320a is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182 by the contraction of the stretched curl portion 323.

  As shown in FIGS. 41 and 42 (b), in the state after the cut portion 182 is cut, the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is located at the cut notification display portion 78 on the case 71, and the optical fiber 320 When the light is emitted from the cut end portion 320a, the cut notification display portion 78 emits light.

  Also, as in the first embodiment, the caulking pin 160 has a weak portion 163 that is easily separated from the head 162, as shown in FIG. Since the fragile portion 163 is adhered to the sealed portion 150 by the cured resin 170, if the curable resin 170 is illegally scraped, the fragile portion 163 is easily detached by being stuck to the shaved cured resin 170. .

  Note that the above-described board case 74 corresponds to a connecting member described later.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 10 of the eighth embodiment, the board case 74 in which the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are connected to each other, and the sealing member 140 that seals the connected state so as not to be released. And a connecting portion 181 for connecting the upper case 71 and the sealing member 140. The connecting portion 181 separates the upper case 71 from the sealing member 140 when the sealing by the sealing member 140 is released. In the substrate case 74, light from the LED 310, which is provided from the case upper portion 71 to the sealing member 140 so as to pass through the inside of the cut portion 182, is incident from one end side. The optical fiber 320 emitted from the emission end side 322 which is the other end side close to the connecting portion 181 to emit the sealing member 140, and the light cut by the cutting of the cut portion 182. A curl portion 323 for urging the cut end portion 320a of the fiber 320 so as to be drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182, and in a normal state where the cut portion 182 is not cut, The sealing member 140 emits light with the light emitted from the emission end side 322, and in the state after the cut portion 182 is cut, the light emitted from the cut end portion 320 a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is used as the cut portion 182. Emits light.

  Therefore, in the normal state where the cut portion 182 is not cut, the sealing member 140 emits light with light emitted from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 (in the case of the sealing member 140 containing light diffusion particles, The sealing member 140 emits light uniformly, and in the case of the sealing member 140 containing no light-diffusing particles, the surface of the sealing member 140 where the incident light reaches emits light). In addition, it is possible to cause a person related to a game arcade to pay attention to the sealing member 140 that emits light, and it is possible to visually check the sealing member 140 in a bright and easy-to-see state, and to easily check whether the sealing member 140 is fraudulent.

  On the other hand, in the cut state of the cut target portion 182, the cut notification display portion 78 on the case 71 on which the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320 is located emits light, so the cut notification display portion 78 is lit. By doing so, it is possible to clearly notify the game arcade related person or the like of the disconnection of the connecting portion 181.

  Also, since the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182 and located at the cut notification display portion 78, the cut end portion 320a can be accessed. It becomes difficult to reduce illegal reconnection of the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320.

  As described above, it is possible to make a person at a game arcade gaze at the sealing member 140 before cutting the cut portion 182, and at the cut portion 182 after cutting the cut portion 182. Can be notified according to before and after cutting.

  Therefore, an improper trace of the sealing member 140 and the connecting portion 181 can be easily found, and a gaming machine that can reduce improper acts can be provided.

  Further, the sealing member 140 includes a sealed portion 150 having a bottomed locking hole 151 formed in communication with the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 in a connected state, and a closed bottom locking of the sealed portion 150. A caulking pin 160 having an insertion locking portion 161 inserted and locked in the hole 151 and a head 162 located on the rear end side of the insertion locking portion 161, and a bottomed locking of the sealed portion 150. A light-transmitting cured resin 170 that is filled and cured at the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 in the sealed portion 150 in a state where the caulking pin 160 is inserted and locked in the hole 151; The optical fiber 320 is provided so as to introduce the light emitted from the emission end side 322 thereof into the cured resin 170. In a normal state where the cut portion 182 is not cut, the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is provided. Sealed with light emitted from Curing resin 170 in the wood 140 emits light.

  Therefore, in the normal state where the cut portion 182 is not cut, the light emitted from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is incident on the cured resin 170 of the sealing member 140, and this incident light is reflected by the light in the cured resin 170. Since the cured resin 170 is diffused by the diffusing particles and emitted to the outside, the cured resin 170 emits light uniformly, and the cured resin 170 of the sealing member 140 can be visually checked in a bright and easy-to-see state. It is easy to confirm whether or not the cured resin 170 filled into the resin is fraudulent.

  Further, when the cured resin 170 does not include light diffusion particles, if the cured resin 170 is cut or cut in the sealed portion 150 of the sealing member 140, the cut portion of the cured resin 170 or Since light is emitted from the cut portion, the cut portion and the cut portion are conspicuous by light emission, and it is easy to find traces of destruction of the cured resin 170.

  Further, at least the light from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 reaches the inside of the cured resin 170 (only when light diffusing particles are not included) among the inner surface portions in contact with the cured resin 170 in the receiving concave portion 152. When a light absorbing member (for example, a filter, a film, a sheet, a light absorbing layer, or the like that absorbs visible light) is provided at a position where light is emitted, light from the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is hardened by the cured resin 170 (light diffusing particles). Is not included), but is not absorbed by the light absorbing member and the cured resin 170 does not emit light. However, when the cured resin 170 is shaved or cut, the cured resin 170 is removed. Light is emitted from the shaved part and the cut part of the. In other words, when the cured resin 170 that does not normally emit light is cut or cut, the cut portion or the cut portion emits light to be particularly conspicuous, and traces of destruction to the cured resin 170 can be more easily found.

  Further, since the fragile portion 163 in the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 is easily separated and is bonded to the sealed portion 150 by the hardening resin 170, the hardened resin 170 around the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 is removed. If a fraudster attempts to scrape off, the fragile portion 163 will be removed along with the hardened resin 170 that has been scraped off. Even if the fragile portion 163 thus removed is returned to the sealed portion 150 as before, the interface between the returned fragile portion 163 and the head 162 becomes conspicuous due to irregular reflection of light, and a trace of destruction to the caulking pin 160 is formed. Easy to discover.

  In the eighth embodiment, in the state after the cut portion 182 is cut, the cut notification display portion 78 on the case 71 emits light. However, as shown in FIG. In the post-cut state, the cut target portion 182 may emit light with light emitted from the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320. FIG. 43 is a cross-sectional view of main controller 70 taken along line DD in a state where the cut portion of connecting portion 181 emits light. In this case, in the state after the cut portion 182 is cut, the cut portion 182 of the connecting portion 181 emits light by the light emitted from the cut end portion 320a of the drawn optical fiber 320. It is possible to notify a person related to a game arcade or the like that the part 182 has been cut. Further, after the connecting part 181 is cut off by the wrongdoer and the connection state between the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 is released and the wrongdoing is performed, the cut connecting part 181 is rearranged as before. Even if it does, the part to be cut 182 is conspicuous due to irregular reflection of light, and it is easy to find traces of destruction to the connecting portion 181. Further, since the cut end portion 320a of the cut optical fiber 320 is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion 182, it becomes difficult to access the cut end portion 320a, and the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 is removed. Unauthorized reconnection can be reduced.

  Note that the first embodiment also has the same configuration as that of the eighth embodiment in that light is incident on the sealing member 140 as in the eighth embodiment. Therefore, the first embodiment also has the above-described effects. Further, in the eighth embodiment, the emission end side 322 of the optical fiber 320 is disposed so as to face the center of the sealing member 140 (the pin center of the caulking pin 160) as compared with the case of the first embodiment. The amount of light incident on the central portion of the sealing member 140 (the cured resin 170 and the head 162 of the caulking pin 160) is larger than in the first embodiment.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14 of the first embodiment, the sealed portion 150 is formed to protrude at an inner peripheral portion on the opening side of the bottomed locking hole 151, and the head of the caulking pin 160 is formed by the cured resin 170. The configuration may further include a fragile portion 155 bonded to the portion 162. In this case, if the cured resin 170 of the sealing member 140 is to be removed using an unauthorized thin member, the fragile portion 155 of the sealed portion 150 is destroyed with the unauthorized removal of the cured resin 170, The fragile portion 155 is removed together with the removed cured resin 170. Even if the fragile portion 155 thus removed is returned to the sealed portion 150, the boundary surface between the returned fragile portion 155 and the head 162 becomes conspicuous due to irregular reflection of light, and a trace of destruction to the caulking pin 160 is formed. Easy to discover.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may have another configuration having the same effect. For example, the present invention can be modified as follows.

  <1> In the above-described first to fourth and eighth embodiments, the optical fiber 320 is provided in the connecting portion 181 on the upper case 71, but may be provided in the lower case 72. Further, in the modification of the fourth embodiment, the connecting portion 181 of the upper case 71 is provided with a conducting wire instead of the optical fiber 320, but may be provided at the lower case 72.

  <2> In the above-described first to fourth and eighth embodiments, the curl portion 323 is employed as the urging means. However, the output end side 322 of the linear optical fiber 320 is fixed, and the connecting portion of the optical fiber 320 is connected. A configuration in which a portion closer to the LED 310 than the LED 181 is biased in a direction away from the connecting portion 181 by an elastic member (for example, a coil spring or a plate spring) may be adopted. Even in this case, the cut end portion 320a of the optical fiber 320 can be drawn in from the cut surface of the cut portion 182 by cutting the cut portion 182 of the connecting portion 181.

  <3> In each of the above-described embodiments, the electronic component mounting surface of the main control board 73 is attached to the inner surface of the case 71 in a state where the electronic component mounting surface faces the inner surface of the case 71. May be mounted so that the solder surface thereof faces the upper case 71. Although the main control board 73 is attached to the upper case 71, the main control board 73 may be attached to the lower case 72, or the electronic component mounting surface of the main control board 73 may be attached to the inner surface of the lower case 72. Alternatively, they may be mounted with the solder surfaces facing each other.

  <4> As shown in FIGS. 34A and 34B, the upper case 71 includes an enclosing wall 210 surrounding a boundary surface BL between the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 at a location where the sealing member 140 exists. It may be provided. In this case, the boundary wall BL between the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 at the location where the sealing member 140 exists is surrounded by the surrounding wall 210 of the upper case 71, so that the boundary BL is incorrect. Insertion of the thin member can be made difficult, and it is difficult to insert an incorrect thin member into the boundary surface BL to separate the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 at the location where the sealing member 140 exists. can do. Further, even if an illegal thin member is inserted at the boundary between the enclosing wall 210 on the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 without the enclosing wall 210, only a force is applied in a direction to warp the enclosing wall 210. However, since no force is applied in the direction in which the boundary surface BL is separated, that is, in the direction in which the caulking pin 160 comes off, even if an illegal thin member is forcibly inserted along the surrounding wall 210, the sealing of the sealing member 140 cannot be released. . As a result, a gaming machine using the board case 74 that can reduce unauthorized opening can be provided. The same effect can be obtained when the surrounding wall 210 is provided in the lower case 72.

  <5> As shown in FIG. 35, the bottomed locking hole 151 is formed in the case upper portion 71 with a through-hole portion 220 having a diameter larger than the insertion locking portion 161 of the caulking pin 160 and the case lower portion 72. It may be formed as a two-stage hole having a diameter smaller than that of the through hole 220 and communicating with the inner hole 221 that locks the insertion lock 161. In this case, the uncured resin filled in the receiving concave portion 152 of the sealed portion 150 in a state where the caulking pin 160 is inserted and locked in the bottomed locking hole 151 of the sealed portion 150 passes through. It can also flow between the hole 220 and the insertion locking part 161 and can be cured in contact with the upper case 71, the lower case 72, and the caulking pin 160. 72 and the caulking pin 160 can be bonded to each other, and it is even more difficult to remove the cured resin 170 that has entered the through hole 220 of the bottomed locking hole 151, thereby reducing fraud. .

  <6> The case upper 71 and the case lower 72 of each of the above embodiments employ a configuration in which the case upper 71 and the case lower 72 are closed by sliding at least one of them in a state where both are combined. However, it is also possible to adopt a fitting structure without a slide, or a configuration in which a rotary shaft is combined with a rotary shaft as an axis.

  <7> As shown in FIG. 36, a cutout groove 168 may be provided on the base end side of the extension 164 of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160. In FIG. 36, the notch groove 168 is formed on the insertion surface side of the head 162 on the base end side of the extension 164, but the notch groove 168 extends on the surface of the head 162. It may be formed on the base end side of the portion 164. Further, a cutout groove 168 may be provided on the base end side of the extension 164 of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 of the fifth to eighth embodiments. In this case, since the extension 164 is provided with the notch groove 168 on the base end side, the surface area of the notch groove 168 of the extension 164 is further reduced by the hardened resin 170 of the head 162. The adhesive area between the head 162 and the cured resin 170 is further improved by the increased area, and the extension 164 is easily broken by the cutout groove 168. Therefore, it is possible to form the fragile portion 163 that is more easily broken, and to attempt to remove the cured resin 170 by using an illegal thin member, the head of the caulking pin 160 accompanies the illegal removal of the cured resin 170. The extended portion 164 of the 162 is broken at the notch groove portion 168 and the extended portion 164 is removed together with the removed cured resin 170. Also use, by looking at the breaking of the extending portion 164 of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160, it can be seen that the board case 74 has been opened.

  <8> Although the groove 165 is provided on the surface side of the head 162 of the caulking pin 160 in the above-described fifth embodiment (see FIG. 26), the groove 165 may not be provided.

  <9> In each of the above-described embodiments, the fixed release-destroyed portion 180 is assumed to be cut and broken at a predetermined location by a cutting tool. The thickness may be made thinner than that, and may be broken by pushing down the fixed release destructible portion 180.

  In addition, this specification also discloses the invention related to the following gaming machines.

<First issue>
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, a slot machine is a typical example of a gaming machine. In this slot machine, for example, a control device in which a control board for controlling a game is accommodated in a board case is provided at a predetermined position inside the housing. The board case includes, for example, a base portion and a cover portion for enclosing and housing the control board therein. Further, the substrate case is provided with a sealing mechanism for sealing the case so as not to be opened. Unless the connecting part that connects this sealing mechanism and the board case is cut, the board case cannot be opened.If the connecting part is cut and the case is opened, there is no trace of the cutting of the connecting part. The presence or absence of opening (regardless of the type of regular opening or unauthorized opening) can be confirmed based on the information, and unauthorized opening is prevented (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-111027).

However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problem.
There is a possibility that the connecting part is cut off by the wrongdoer, the board case is opened improperly and the control board is tampered with, and then the cut off sealing mechanism is replaced. In this case, there is a problem that it is difficult to find a trace of cutting of the connecting portion, and that the detection of an unauthorized opening of the board case is delayed.

  The following invention has been made in view of such circumstances and the like, and has as its object to provide a gaming machine that can reduce fraud.

(A1) In a gaming machine comprising: a first member, a second member, and sealing means for sealing a connection state between the first member and the second member so as not to be released.
A connecting portion for connecting at least one of the first member and the second member to the sealing means;
The connection portion includes a cut portion that is cut to separate at least one of the first member and the second member and the sealing unit when the sealing by the sealing unit is released,
A transmission member for notifying the disconnection of the connection portion, provided at least from the first member or the second member to the connection portion or the sealing means so as to pass through at least the inside of the cut portion,
Biasing means for biasing the cut end portion of the transmission member cut along with the cutting of the cut target portion so as to be drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut target portion;
A gaming machine comprising:

  According to the gaming machine described in (A1), when the cut portion of the connecting portion is cut in order to release the connection state between the first member and the second member, transmission inside the cut portion is performed. The member is also cut. The disconnection of the transmission member can notify the disconnection of the connecting portion. Further, since the cut end portion of the cut transmission member is pulled inward from the cut surface of the cut target portion by the biasing means, it becomes difficult to access the cut end portion of the cut transmission member. In addition, the illegal reconnection of the cut end portion of the transmission member can be reduced. As a result, a gaming machine that can reduce fraudulent acts can be provided.

(A2) In the gaming machine according to (A1),

Conventionally, for example, a pachinko machine is a typical example of a gaming machine. This pachinko machine has, for example, an outer frame which forms an outer shell of the pachinko machine and is fixed to a game island of a game hall (hall), and a left end side of the outer frame in a front view as an opening / closing axis with respect to the outer frame. An inner frame that is openably and closably supported, a game board attached so that a game area is located at an opening formed substantially in the center of the inner frame, and a left end side of the inner frame in front view as an opening / closing axis. A front door that is openably and closably supported by the inner frame and has a viewing window for viewing the game area.

  In addition, the pachinko machine has a board case in which a control board for controlling a game is accommodated on the back side. The board case includes a base and a cover for enclosing the control board therein. Further, the substrate case includes a sealing mechanism for sealing the case. This sealing mechanism has a structure that cannot be opened unless the predetermined part is destroyed. If the sealing mechanism is destroyed and the case is opened, the case is opened based on the destruction of the sealing mechanism (regular opening, unauthorized opening). Irrespective of the type) can be checked to prevent unauthorized opening (for example, see Patent Document: JP-A-2005-152297).

However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problem.
That is, in the above-described pachinko machine, for example, after the locking pin constituting the sealing mechanism is subtly destroyed, the board case is illegally opened, and the control board is tampered with, the destroyed locking pin is destroyed. There is a possibility that it is returned to the sealing mechanism as if it were not performed. In such a case, there is a problem that it is hard to find an improper trace to the sealing mechanism, and that the detection of the improper opening of the substrate case is delayed.

  Further, there is a possibility that the connecting part is cut off by the wrongdoer, the board case is opened improperly, and the control board is tampered with, and then the cut off sealing mechanism is replaced. In this case, there is a problem that it is difficult to find a trace of cutting of the connecting portion, and that the detection of an unauthorized opening of the board case is delayed.

  As described above, the game arcade officials and the like must perform detailed visual confirmation and the like of both the sealing mechanism and the connecting portion, so that not only is it troublesome to find traces of wrongdoing on the board case, but also In addition, there is a possibility that an unauthorized opening of the board case may be overlooked, and there is a problem that the illegal act cannot be reduced.

  The following inventions have been made in view of such circumstances and the like, and an object of the invention is to provide a gaming machine that can easily detect an improper trace of a sealing mechanism and a connecting portion and reduce impropriety. .

A gaming machine comprising:

  According to the gaming machine described in (B0), in the normal state in which the cut portion is not cut, the light emitted from the emission end side of the optical transmission member is incident on the sealing means. When the means is, for example, an optical member that diffuses incident light inside and emits light from the outer peripheral surface, the sealing means emits light, and it is possible to draw a person related to a game arcade to the sealing means instead of the cut part. In addition, it is possible to visually check the sealing means in a bright and easy-to-see state, and it is easy to confirm whether there is any improper operation on the sealing means.

  On the other hand, in the cut state of the cut portion, the amount of light emitted by the sealing means is reduced, so that a person related to the game arcade or the like can be notified that the cut portion is cut.

  Further, when the sealing means is, for example, an optical member through which incident light propagates in the incident direction, the portion emits light when the wrongdoer cuts or cuts the sealing member instead of the cut portion. Therefore, it is easy to detect an unauthorized cutting act on the sealing means. In addition, when the wrongdoer cuts the cut portion, the cheating can be easily detected by the light emission of the cut portion or the cut end portion of the optical transmission member.

  Therefore, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of easily finding an improper trace of the sealing means or the connecting portion and reducing an improper act.

In the post-cut state of the cut portion, the cut portion emits light with light emitted from the cut end portion of the light transmitting member that has been retracted.

  According to the gaming machine described in (B1), in a normal state in which the cut portion is not cut, the sealing unit emits light with light emitted from the emission end side of the optical transmission member. In this way, it is possible to make the person playing the game, etc. pay attention to the sealing means, and it is possible to visually check the sealing means in a bright and easy-to-see state, and to easily check whether there is any impropriety with respect to the sealing means.

  On the other hand, in the post-cut state of the cut portion, the cut portion emits light with the light emitted from the cut end portion of the light transmitting member that is drawn in, so that a person related to the game arcade etc. is notified that the cut portion has been cut. I can let you know. In addition, after the connecting part is cut by the wrongdoer and the connection state between the first member and the second member is released and the wrongdoing is performed, the cut connecting part is rearranged as before. However, the cut portion is conspicuous due to irregular reflection of light, and it is easy to find traces of destruction on the connecting portion.

  Further, since the cut end portion of the cut optical transmission member is drawn inward from the cut surface of the cut portion, it becomes difficult to access the cut end portion, and the cut end portion of the optical transmission member is incorrectly located. Reconnection can be reduced.

  As described above, the cutting means can be made to look at the sealing means before cutting the cut portion, and after the cut portion is cut, the person concerned with the game arcade can watch the cut-off portion concerned. The notification according to the later can be performed.
