Further, the substrate accommodating case is provided with a plurality of pairs of members to be sealed formed at predetermined positions of the base member and the cover member, and the base member and the cover are inserted into the members to be sealed. Some include a sealing mechanism having a sealing pin that makes it difficult to open the member. As such a sealing mechanism, there is a sealing mechanism in which the sealing mechanism is not released unless a predetermined portion of each member to be sealed is destroyed, and the base member and the cover member are hardly opened (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-314414). (See page 3-7, FIG. 1-5).

However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problem.
That is, by preparing two substrate storage cases, taking out an intact base member from one substrate storage case, and taking out an intact cover member from the other substrate storage case, one substrate storage case is removed from the two substrate storage cases. It becomes possible to create a board storage case similar to a new one. The thus-produced board-housing case similar to the new one houses the tampered control board, and the board-housing case is attached to the gaming machine installed in the hall, and the game is played on the gaming machine. And illegally gaining game value. At first glance, such a board storage case is similar to a new one, so that it is difficult to distinguish it from a regular board storage case, and there is a problem that it is not easy to find.

The invention according to the following (1) has been made in view of such circumstances, and has as its object to provide a gaming machine that can reduce improper acts on a substrate housing case.

  In addition, the present specification discloses the following inventions relating to gaming machines.

  The invention described in the following (A1) relates to a gaming machine provided with a board housing case for housing a control board for controlling a game.

  Conventionally, as typical examples of gaming machines, there are, for example, a pachinko machine, a slot machine, and a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are combined. This type of gaming machine includes a board housing case housing a control board for performing control related to a game. The board housing case forms a housing space for housing the control board by closing at least two members such as a base member and a cover member. Further, the substrate housing case includes a sealing mechanism for sealing the case. The board housing case housing the control board is attached to a predetermined position of the gaming machine while being sealed by the sealing mechanism. The control board of the board storage case attached to the predetermined position is connected to the control board of another board storage case attached to another predetermined position. Such a wiring work for electrically connecting each control board is performed, and the gaming machine is shipped (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-314414 (page 3-7, FIG. 1-5)). .

However, the conventional example having such a configuration has the following problem.
That is, the board housing case for housing the control board has an area that is not desired to be touched after shipping except for a normal use, but there is a problem that such an area cannot be sufficiently protected by the conventional gaming machine.

  Areas that are not desired to be touched after shipping except for normal use are, for example, a connector mounted on a control board for connecting a control board to another control board, a sealing mechanism of a board housing case, and the like.

  For example, a connector for connecting to another control board or the like is mounted on the control board, and the board housing case has an opening corresponding to the connector of the control board housed inside. After the board housing case is made unopenable by the sealing mechanism, the connector provided at one end of the cable is connected to the connector on the control board side, and the connector provided at the other end of the cable is similarly connected to another board housing case. Is connected to the connector on the other control board side accommodated in the. In a state where the control board is connected to the other control boards in this way, the control board transmits various signals such as commands necessary for the progress of the game to the other control boards. However, there is a case where an illegal act of attaching an illegal substrate (hanging substrate) for sending an illegal signal to the connector is performed. In this case, when the fraudulent board obtains a fraudulent profit by transmitting a fraudulent signal to another control board and performing control related to a predetermined game based on the fraudulent signal. There is. If an unauthorized control board is connected in a state where it is difficult to find it, it is not easy to find such an unauthorized act because there is no trace of unauthorized opening even when looking at the sealing mechanism of the board storage case. . For this reason, the connector mounted on the control board for connecting the control board to another control board is not desired to be touched after shipment except for a normal use.

  Further, since the sealing mechanism of the substrate housing case is exposed on the surface of the substrate housing case after sealing the substrate housing case, it is exposed to a risk of fraud. For this reason, the sealing mechanism of the substrate housing case is not desired to be touched after shipment except for a normal use.

  The invention described in the following (A1) has been made in view of such circumstances, and includes a board housing case that can protect a predetermined area of the board housing case that is not desired to be touched except for a normal use after shipment. It is intended to provide a gaming machine.

Will be When the winning combination is a regular bonus or a big bonus, the game shifts to a special game state called a predetermined number of JAC games or bonus games in which the lottery probability of the child role is higher than usual. In a case where the winning combination has been won, when the stop buttons 53, 54, 55 are operated in the pushing order, a symbol (for example, a bell) corresponding to the winning combination is established on an active line, and the medals are paid out. Is performed.

  The sub-control device 94 performs a lottery for generating an auxiliary game state in which the order in which the stop buttons 53, 54, 55 are operated, that is, the pressing order, is notified to the player in order to arrange the pressing order. Specifically, when the lottery result in the main control device 70 is a win for a specific combination, the sub-control device 94 generates an auxiliary game state with a predetermined probability. Therefore, such an auxiliary game state can also be said to be a special game state in which the player acquires many medals as valuable value. The auxiliary game state may continue for a predetermined number of games. Note that one game means from the insertion of a medal to the payout due to the formation of a combination based on the insertion of the medal, or to the result that no combination is formed and there is no payout.

  The notification of the pressing order in the auxiliary game state is performed on the liquid crystal display 15, for example.

Are engaged with each other, and the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are assembled. The case combining unit 170 separates the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 even when the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are separated in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface or the solder surface of the main control board 73 in the assembled state. It is something that makes it difficult.

  Here, the sealing means 75 and 76 that make it difficult to open the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 with the main control board 73 accommodated therein will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of main controller 70 removed from rotation base 120. FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the upper case 71 shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the lower case 72 shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is a front view of main controller 70 supported by rotating base 120.

  The first sealing means 75 is provided at the right end of the upper surface of the main board case 74, and the second sealing means 76 is provided at the left end of the upper surface of the main board case 74. Each of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 is formed of a pair of pairs formed so as to overlap with each other at predetermined positions of the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 with the main control board 73 accommodated therein. The parts to be sealed 77 and 78 are provided. The pair of sealed portions 75a and 75b that constitute the first sealing means 75 are provided to project from the right end of the upper surface of the upper case 71 and the right end of the upper surface of the lower case 72, respectively. The pair of sealed portions 76a and 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 are respectively provided so as to project from the left end of the upper surface of the upper case 71 and the left end of the upper surface of the lower case 72. Further, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 open the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 by being inserted into the pair of sealed portions 75a, 75b and 76a, 76b which are overlapped. A sealing pin 79 is provided to make the state difficult. The sealing pin 79 is inserted into the first sealed portion 75a and the second sealed portion 75b, and the sealing pin 79 is inserted into the first sealed portion 76a and the second sealed portion 76b. As a result, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 enter a sealed state in which the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are hardly opened while the main control board 73 is housed inside.

  The pair of sealed portions 75a, 75b and 76a, 76b are first sealed portions in order to release the first sealed portions 75a, 76a, the lower case 72, and the upper case 71 from being difficult to open. Second sealed portions 75b and 76b having breakable portions 78A and 78B formed so as to be more easily broken than 75a and 76a. Specifically, the pair of sealed portions 75a and 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 is such that the first sealed portion 75a is provided below the case 72 and the second sealed portion 75b is The portion 78A is provided on the upper case 71. The pair of sealed portions 76a and 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 has a first sealed portion 76a provided on the case 71, opposite to the first sealing means 75. A stop portion 76b and a portion to be destroyed 78B are provided in the lower case 72. Therefore, when the destructible portions 78A and 78B are destroyed in an attempt to release the sealed state between the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 formed by the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76, the upper case 71 is damaged. Also, traces of destruction remain on the lower case 72.

  The first sealed portion 75a and the second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 will be described.

  The first sealed portion 75a forming the first sealing means 75 includes a first box-shaped member 75c formed so as to protrude upward from the upper surface of the lower case 72, and a first box-shaped member 75c. And a boss 75e having a screw hole 75d for screwing the sealing pin 79, which is formed on the surface facing the second sealed portion 75b among the surfaces to be sealed.

  The second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 includes two thin extending portions 75f extending upward from the upper side surface of the case upper 71 and a tip end of the extending portion 75f. And a thin, bottomed first measure member 75g provided. The first square member 75g includes a peripheral wall portion 75h surrounding a region through which the sealing pin 79 is inserted, a bottom portion 75i, and a through hole 75j through which the sealing pin 79 penetrates the bottom portion 75i. It is configured. The extension 75f is configured as a part of the upper case 71. However, since the extension 75f is thinner than the first sealed portion 75a forming the first sealing means 75, the first sealing means 75 It is configured to be more easily broken than the first sealed portion 75a. That is, the portion to be destroyed 78A in the first sealing means 75 is constituted by the extending portion 75f.

  The first sealed portion 75a and the second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 are closed in a state where the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are overlapped and closed. The position of the through hole 75j of the first square member 75g constituting the stop portion 75b matches the position of the boss 75e of the first box-like member 75c constituting the first sealed portion 75a.

  Next, the first sealed portion 76a and the second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 will be described.

  The first sealed portion 76a constituting the second sealing means 76 extends upward from the upper side surface of the upper case 71 and has an L-shape whose tip is bent at a right angle toward the inside of the upper case 71. The second box-shaped member 76c which is formed so as to protrude, and which is formed on the surface facing the first sealed portion 76a among the surfaces constituting the second box-shaped member 76c, is used for screwing the sealing pin 79. And a boss 76e having a screw hole 76d. The portion of the second box-shaped member 76c bent at a right angle is defined as a bent portion 76f. Between the bent portion 76f and the upper surface of the upper case 71, a part of the front extension 76g on the lower case 72 side overlaps with the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 overlapped and closed. In a state in which a part of the front extension 76g overlaps with the gap, an upper extension 76h and a second square member 76i described later face the front of the second box-shaped member 76c.

  The second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 is formed by a flat front extending portion 76g extending forward from the upper side surface of the lower case 72 and a front end of the front extending portion 76g. It is composed of two thin upwardly extending portions 76h extending upward and a thin and bottomed second square-shaped member 76i provided at the tip of the upwardly extending portion 76h. The second square-shaped member 76i includes a peripheral wall portion 76j surrounding a region through which the sealing pin 79 is inserted, a bottom portion 76k, and a through hole 76l through which the sealing pin 79 penetrates the bottom portion 76k. It is configured. The upper extending portion 76h is configured as a part of the lower case 72, but is configured to be more easily broken than the first sealed portion 76a constituting the second sealing means 76 due to its small thickness. . That is, the portion to be destroyed 78B of the second sealing means 76 is constituted by the upwardly extending portion 76h.

  In addition, the first sealed portion 76a and the second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 are placed in a state where the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are overlapped and stapled, and the second sealed portion 76a is closed. The position of the through hole 76l of the second square member 76i that forms the stop 76b matches the position of the boss 76e of the second box-like member 76c that forms the first sealed portion 76a.

  The sealing pin 79 is fixed to the bosses 75e, 76e, for example, by being screwed into the screw holes 75d, 76d, and is turned in the loosening direction to break a predetermined portion (for example, a screw head). Special screws such as are used. The special screw may be a one-way screw that cannot be turned or cannot be turned in a loosening direction, other than the break screw. Further, the sealing pin 79 may be a normal screw which is not a special screw. For example, after a normal screw is screwed into the screw holes 75d and 76d, a photocurable resin is injected into the first square member 75g and the second square member 76i, and then cured by irradiation with ultraviolet light to form a case 71d. The lower case 72 and the lower case 72 may be difficult to open. Further, a member other than the pin shape, such as the sealing pin 79, may be used. What is necessary is just to make the lower 72 hard to open.

  Next, the arrangement of the destroyed portions 78A and 78B will be described in more detail.

  The destroyed portion 78A and the destroyed portion 78B face in the same direction in a state where the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b are overlapped with each other. Specifically, in a state where the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are overlapped and closed, the to-be-destructed portion 78A and the to-be-destructed portion 78B are oriented in a direction in which the component mounting surface of the main control board 73 faces, and The opening / closing lids 71a and 71b face in the same direction as the facing direction. That is, the to-be-destructed portions 78A and the to-be-destructed portions 78B face the front of the gaming machine with the main board case 74 attached to the gaming machine body. The destroyed portion 78A is formed by a part of the upper case 71, and the destroyed portion 78B is formed by a part of the lower case 72. However, the destroyed portion 78A and the destroyed portion 78B are formed in the same direction. Since it faces, it is less noticeable that the portion to be destroyed 78A and the portion to be destroyed 78B are provided separately on the upper case 71 and the lower case 72.

  In other words, the portion to be destroyed 78A and the portion to be destroyed 78B are on the same side (that is, the side on which the open / close lids 71a and 71b are provided on the case 71) in a state where the substrate housing case 74 is mounted inside the main body 11. Located on the same side. That is, since the to-be-destructed portion 78A and the to-be-destructed portion 78B face the same side with the substrate housing case 74 attached to the inside of the main body 11, the operator opens the front door 12 to allow the substrate inside the main body 11 to open. When confirming whether or not the accommodating case 74 is improper based on the presence or absence of the destruction traces of the destructible portions 78A and 78B, the same side of the substrate accommodating case 74 is confirmed, and the Both the part to be destroyed 78B can be confirmed at a time. Therefore, the work efficiency of checking the destroyed portions 78A and 78B can be improved.

  In addition, the destroyed portion 78A and the destroyed portion 78B are both disposed at a position closer to the front of the upper surface of the case 71 (a position closer to the surface on which the opening / closing lids 71a and 71b are provided). Further, the to-be-destructed portions 78A and the to-be-destructed portions 78B are arranged side by side at substantially the same position in the depth direction when the board case 74 is attached to the game machine main body. Therefore, since the portions to be destroyed 78A and the portion to be destroyed 78B not only face in the same direction, but are disposed at substantially the same position, the portions to be destroyed 78A and the portion to be destroyed 78B And the lower case 72 are less noticeable.

  The second sealed portion 75b of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealed portion 76b of the second sealing means 76 are the first sealed portions 75a, 76a and the second sealed portion. When viewed from the same direction as the faces of the portions to be destroyed 78A and 78B in a state where the portions 75b and 76b are superimposed, they have almost the same shape. More specifically, the second sealed portion 75b of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealed portion 76b of the second sealing means 76 have a character “8” giving a square impression as a whole. It has a shape that looks like the letter “day”. Therefore, when the second sealed portion 75b of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealed portion 76b of the second sealing means 76 are viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the broken portions 78A and 78B face, Since there is almost no difference between the shape of the first sealing means 75 and the shape of the second sealing means 76, notice that the portions to be destroyed 78A and 78B are provided separately for the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. It has become difficult.

  When the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b are overlapped with each other and viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the destroyed portions 78A and 78B face, the first sealed portion is formed. The first sealed portion 75a located behind the destroyed portion 78A in the means 75 and the first sealed portion 76a located behind the destroyed portion 78B in the second sealing means 76 are substantially They have the same shape. Specifically, the first sealed portion 75a of the first sealing means 75 has a vertically elongated rectangular portion protruding from the second sealed portion 75b, and the first sealed portion 75a of the second sealing The first sealed portion 76a is slightly wider than the protruding portion of the first sealed portion 75a in the first sealing means 75, but similarly, the portion protruding from the second sealed portion 76b is vertically elongated. It is rectangular. In the first sealed portion 76a of the second sealing means 76, although a gap is formed at a location where the bent portion 76f is present, the gap occupies a small area in the entire substrate case 74, and is hardly recognized at first glance. Has become. Therefore, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the portions to be destroyed 78A and 78B face, the shape of the first portion to be sealed 75a in the first sealing means 75 and the first portion to be sealed in the second sealing means 76. Since there is almost no difference in the shape of the stop portion 76a, the destructible portions 78A and 78B are provided separately in the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 due to the difference in the shape of the first sealed portions 75a and 76a. Can be reduced.

  Next, a procedure for setting the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 in a state in which the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are hardly opened while the main control board 73 is housed therein will be described with reference to FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG. 10A is a perspective view of the main board case 74 in an overlapped state, and FIG. 10B is a perspective view of the main board case 74 closed after FIG. 11A is an FF cross section of the main board case 74 of FIG. 9 for explaining the second sealing means 76, and FIG. 11B is a view for explaining the first sealing means 75. 9 is a GG cross section of the main board case 74 of FIG.

  First, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are overlapped and closed. Thereby, the first sealing means 75 is joined back and forth such that the second sealed portion 75b of the upper case 71 is located in front of the first sealed portion 75a of the lower case 72. The second sealing means 76 is joined back and forth such that the second sealed portion 76b of the lower case 72 is located in front of the first sealed portion 76a of the upper case 71. In this state, the sealing pin 79 is inserted through the through hole 75j of the front second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75, and the screw hole of the rear first sealed portion 75a is formed. Screw to 75d. The sealing pin 79 is inserted from the through hole 76l of the front second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76, and is screwed into the screw hole 76d of the rear first sealed portion 76a. I do. In this way, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are in a state where it is difficult to open the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 with the main control board 73 accommodated therein.

  Next, a procedure for releasing the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 from a state in which it is difficult to open the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 in a state where the main control board 73 is housed therein will be described. 12 will be described. 12A is a plan view of the main controller 70, FIG. 12B is an HH section of the second sealing means 76 shown in FIG. 12A, and FIG. 12C is a sectional view of FIG. It is II section of the 1st sealing means 75 shown.

  A predetermined portion (for example, a portion indicated by a dashed line with reference symbol S3) of the two extending portions 75f of the second sealed portion 75b on the case 71 constituting the first sealing device 75 is cut by a cutting means such as a nipper. Disconnect with Thus, the second sealed portion 75b is formed by the first square member 75g fixed to the first sealed portion 75a of the lower case 72 and the extension 75f provided on the upper surface of the upper case 71. Separated. Also, a predetermined portion (for example, a portion indicated by a dashed line with reference numeral S4) of two upper extending portions 76h of the second sealed portion 76b of the lower case 72 constituting the second sealing means 76 is a nipper or the like. With the cutting means. As a result, the second sealed portion 76b includes a second square member 76i fixed to the first sealed portion 76a on the upper case 71, and an upper extension 76h provided on the upper side surface of the lower case 72. Is separated into As described above, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are used to release the state in which the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are hardly opened while the main control board 73 is housed inside. By doing so, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 can be opened.

  Here, it is conceivable that a cheating person releases a state in which it is difficult to open the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 by a cutting operation different from the above-described cutting operation. That is, the first sealing means 75 cuts the cut portion S3 of the second sealed portion 75b on the case 71, but the second sealing means 76 cuts the first sealed portion on the case 71. It is conceivable to take out the lower case 72 intact by cutting the 76a or the like. In addition, another substrate housing case 74 is prepared, and the first sealing means 75 is cut by cutting the first sealed portion 75a of the lower case 72, and the second sealing is performed. As for the means 76, it is conceivable to take out the upper case 71 intact by cutting the cut portion S4 of the second sealed portion 76b of the lower case 72. In order to reduce such a cutting action, for example, for the first sealing means 75, a metal plate is attached along the front side of the first sealed portion 75a of the lower case 72, and the second sealing means Regarding the means 76, the wrongdoer cuts a portion different from the cut portions S3 and S4 by attaching a metal plate along the front side of the first sealed portion 76a on the case 71, and leaves When the upper case 71 or the lower case 72 is to be taken out, the different portion may not be cut. In this way, a trace of cutting can be reliably left on both the upper case 71 and the lower case 72.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19 described later, the main board case 74 seals the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 sandwiching the control board 73 on the side surface so that the main board case 74 cannot be opened. A case sealing portion 180 is provided. In the above-described assembled state, the case sealing portion 180 includes a sealing cover 182 assembled to a part of the upper case 71 and a part of the lower case 72, A case caulking pin 184 for caulking the lower part 72 and the sealing cover 182 is provided. This realizes a structure in which the main board case 74 cannot be opened unless the case sealing portion 180 is destroyed.

  Further, the main board case 74 is configured such that the main board case 74 attached to the turning base 120 cannot be removed from the turning base 120 so that the main body sealing portion 190 that seals the main control device 70 main body is formed. Have. The main body sealing portions 190 are provided at two places on the front side of the main board case 74. The main body sealing portion 190 has a sealing hole 192 that is in communication with the rotating base 120, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 when the main board case 74 is attached to the rotating base 120, and the sealing hole 192. A caulking pin 194 inserted into the 192 to caulk the rotating base 120, the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 is provided. This realizes a structure in which the main board case 74 cannot be removed from the rotating base 120 unless the main body sealing portion 190 is destroyed.

  Subsequently, a locked state between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 will be described with reference to FIG. 9 described above and FIGS. FIG. 13 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the main control device 70 of FIG.

FIG. 20 is an exploded perspective view for explaining the exploded perspective view of FIG. 19 from different directions. 21 (a) to 21 (f) are six views of the connector caulking cover 130, (a) is a front view, (b) is a plan view, (C) is a rear view, (d) is a right side view, (E) is a left side view, and (f) is a bottom view. 22 (a) to 22 (f) are six views of the connector caulking plate 160, (a) is a front view, (b) is a plan view, (C) is a rear view, (d) is a right side view, (E) is a left side view, and (f) is a bottom view. In addition, FIGS.

  Here, the description will be made mainly with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG. 5 described above. Main control device 70 is provided with a cover member for preventing unauthorized access to a predetermined area of main board case 74. In the present embodiment, the predetermined area of the main board case 74 is an area where a connector 95a for connecting a cable 95 as a wiring connecting the main control board 73 and the display control board 94b to the main control board 73 side is connected. The cover member makes it difficult for the connector 95a to be accessed illegally.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the main board case 74 is attached to the rotating base 120, and the main control board 73 and the display control board 94b are connected by cables 95 having connectors 95a and 95b at both ends. The output signal from the main control board 73 is transmitted to the display control board 94b via the cable 95, and based on the signal received via the cable 95, the display control board 94b controls the display contents of the liquid crystal display 15, For example, it is in a state where control such as notification of the pressing order in the above-described auxiliary game state can be performed.

  In this state, the main board case 74 is inserted into the connector swaging cover 130 to cover a predetermined area of the main board case 74 and the connector swaging cover 130 to lock the connector swaging cover 130 to the main board case 74. A connector caulking plate 160.

  19, 20, and 21, the connector caulking cover 130 is shaped like a rectangular box without a bottom, and separates the inside and outside of a predetermined area of the main board case 74 from each other. And a cover 130c that covers a region surrounded by the cover outer wall 130a so that a human hand does not touch it. The lower surface of the base cover outer wall portion 130a, which faces downward with the rotating base 120 to which the main board case 74 is attached in an upright posture, is formed so as to allow the cable 95 to pass therethrough.

  The connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74 so as to cover an area where the connector 95a is connected as the above-described predetermined area. That is, the connector caulking cover 130 is attached so as to cover the area to which the connector 95a is connected in a state where the main board case 74 and the display control board 94b are connected so that the game can be normally controlled. ing. The connector caulking cover 130 is such that the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be easily removed from the main board case 74 when the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted. If the connector caulking cover 130 is forcibly removed from the main board case 74 in this state, the main board case 74 or the connector caulking cover 130 will be damaged.

  That is, when the connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74 and the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the connector caulking cover 130, the connector caulking cover 130 can be easily removed from the main board case 74. The connector 95a that has disappeared and is covered by the connector caulking cover 130 is less likely to be accessed illegally.

  An outline of a configuration in which the connector caulking plate 160 prevents the connector caulking cover 130 from being easily detached from the main board case 74 will be described mainly with reference to FIG.

  The connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into a plate insertion space 150 formed by the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130. The main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 each have a part of the plate insertion space 150. Specifically, the main board case 74 is provided with a plate insertion space 142 that forms a part of the plate insertion space 150, and the connector caulking cover 130 has a plate insertion space 142 that forms a part of the plate insertion space 150. An insertion space 132 is provided. When the connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74, the plate insertion space 132 and the plate insertion space 142 continue to form a plate insertion space 150.

  In other words, when the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be easily removed from the main board case 74, the connector caulking plate 160 is placed in the plate insertion space 142 on the main board case 74 side and the plate insertion space 132 on the connector caulking cover 130 side. It is formed by being inserted.

  With this configuration, when the member forming the plate insertion space 150 is broken in order to illegally release a state where the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be easily removed from the main board case 74, the main board case Both the member forming the plate insertion space 142 on the 74 side and the member forming the plate insertion space 132 on the connector caulking cover 130 side are easily broken. As a result, even if the locked state between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 is incorrectly released, traces of destruction remain on both the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130. The more traces left, the easier it is to detect fraud.

  Next, details of the mounting state of the main board case 74 and the connector caulking plate 160 and the configuration that prevents the connector caulking cover 130 and the main board case 74 from being easily removed from this mounting state will be described.

  Here, the mounting state of the main board case 74 and the connector caulking plate 160 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. The connector caulking cover 130 is attached in a detachable attachment state that can be freely detached and re-attached while being attached to the main board case 74 so as to cover an area where the connector 95a is connected. The main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are provided with cover mounting mechanisms 131 and 141 for making such a detachable mounting state.

  The cover mounting mechanism 131 on the connector caulking cover 130 side has claw-shaped portions 135a and 135b at one of the edges in contact with the main board case 74 along the longitudinal direction of the main board case 74. The claw portions 135c, 135d, and 135e are provided on the other edge. The cover mounting mechanism 142 on the main board case 74 side is provided at a position corresponding to the claw-shaped portions 135a to 135e to regulate the slide movement of the claw-shaped portions 135a to 135e for controlling the sliding movement of the claw-shaped portions 135a to 135e. Portions 146a to 146e are provided. In addition, the cover attaching mechanism 142 includes slide allowance portions 146a to 146e that allow the claw portions 135a to 135e to slide along the direction opposite to the direction in which the tips of the claw portions 135a to 135e extend.

  The connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74 by sliding along the slide allowances 146a to 146e. In this state, even if the connector caulking cover 130 is pulled in a direction away from the mounting surface of the main control board 73 in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface, the claw-like portions 135a to 135e and the slide regulating portions 146a to 146e engage. The main board case 74 does not come off. The connector caulking cover 130 attached to the main board case 74 can be detached from the main board case 74 by sliding in a direction opposite to the sliding direction at the time of attachment.

  Next, the mounting state of the rotation base 120 and the main board case 74 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150 in a state where the main board case 74 is attached to the rotating base 120 and the connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74, so that the main board case It is possible to restrict the sliding movement of the rotation base 74 and the rotation base 120 in a direction separating from each other.

  Specifically, the connector caulking cover 130 includes a plurality of claw-like portions 135f and 135g as the cover mounting mechanism 131 also on the distal end side in the sliding direction. The main board case 74 includes, as the cover mounting mechanism 141, slide restriction portions 146f and 146g at positions opposed to the plurality of claw-shaped portions 135f and 135g. As shown in FIG. 5, the rotation base 120 has the slide communication part 121a communicating with the slide restriction parts 146f and 146g at a position facing the slide restriction parts 146f and 146g with the main board case 74 attached. 121b. The tips of the claw-shaped portions 135f, 135g penetrating the slide regulating portions 146f, 146g are inserted into the slide communication portions 121a, 121b. In this state, when the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, the sliding movement in the direction in which the main board case 74 and the rotating base 120 are separated is restricted.

  With this configuration, when the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, not only the separation of the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 but also the main board case 74 and the rotation base 120 Can also be regulated. As described above, the separation between the main board case 74 and the rotation base 120 is regulated by the main body sealing portion 190, but is also regulated by the connector caulking plate 160.

  As described above, the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are in a detachable mounting state. In this state, when the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150 of the connector caulking cover 130, The connector caulking plate 160 is in a state where the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be easily removed from the main board case 74. In this specification, such a state is referred to as a locked state.

  Next, a configuration for shifting from the above-described attached state to the locked state will be described mainly with reference to FIG. In addition, FIG. 19 to FIG.

  The connector caulking plate 160 includes a first engaging portion 161 and a second engaging portion 162, which are engaged with different members. The first engaging portion 161 is engaged with a first engaged portion 143 provided on the main board case 74. The second engaging portion 162 is engaged with a second engaged portion 133 provided on the connector caulking cover 130. The locked state between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 is such that the first engaging portion 161 is engaged with the first engaged portion 143 and the second engaging portion 162 is engaged with the second engaged portion 133. It is formed by engaging.

  By engaging the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 with different members in this manner to form a locked state, the engagement at the first engagement portion 161 is achieved. If the user attempts to release the improperly, a trace of destruction remains on the main board case 74, and if the user tries to release the engagement at the second engaging portion 162, the trace of destruction remains on the connector caulking cover 130. Accordingly, when the main board case 74 is viewed from the outside, the locked state is seen to be formed by the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160, but actually, the main board case 74 also forms the locked state. Therefore, when the locked state is released, a destruction trace for the release can be left over a plurality of members excluding the connector caulking plate 160.

  Further, the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 are made of the same material, but have different shapes. In addition, the shapes of the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133 are different from each other.

  The first engagement portion 161 has one side extending along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 and is bent outward in the middle. It is constituted by a bent portion. The first engaging portion 161 is formed such that the bent portion is engaged with the first engaged portion 143. The first engaged portion 143 is configured by a portion that protrudes into the plate insertion space 142 from a wall forming the slide allowable portion 146b of the main board case 74. The first engaged portion 143 is formed such that the projecting portion engages with the first engaging portion 161.

  The second engagement portion 162 has the other side extending along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160, and is folded back and extended in the middle. Is provided at the tip. The second engaging portion 162 is formed in such a manner that the tip of this “<”-shaped portion is engaged with the second engaged portion 133. The second engaged portion 133 is configured by a portion that protrudes into the plate insertion space 132 from the inside of a wall (a cover outer wall portion 130e2 described later) that forms the plate insertion space 132 of the connector caulking cover 130. The second engaged portion 133 is formed such that the projecting portion is engaged with the second engaging portion 162.

  A portion of the first engagement portion 161 bent in a “<” or “H” shape is hooked on a portion of the first engaged portion 143 protruding into the plate insertion space 142, and the second engagement portion 161. Since the tip of the “レ” -shaped portion of the portion 162 is hooked on the portion of the second engaged portion 133 projecting into the plate insertion space 132, the connector caulking plate 160 can be easily extracted from the plate insertion space 150. Can not.

  By making the shapes of the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 different in this manner, the first engagement portion 161 and the first engagement portion 161 can be locked in a state where the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are locked. Unless a method different from that employed when illegally releasing the engagement with the engaged portion 143 is employed, the engagement between the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133 is illegally released. By making it difficult, the main board case 74 can be made resistant to fraud.

  Further, the above-described difference in shape between the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 can also be expressed as a difference in arrangement between the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162. That is, when the center line is drawn along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160, the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 are provided at positions that are asymmetrical with respect to the center line. In FIG. 15, the insertion direction and the center line are indicated by dashed-dotted arrows.

  The first engagement portion 161 is provided on the right side in the insertion direction with respect to the center line and slightly ahead of the center of one side extending along the insertion direction. In other words, the first engagement portion 161 is provided at a position recessed on the main control board 73 side from the non-cover surface 71c on which the connector caulking cover 130 is not provided on the surface of the case upper 71 in the locked state. ing. The non-cover surface 71c is the flattest surface of the case 71 and may be referred to as a reference surface. The first engaged portion 143 is provided on the rear side in the insertion direction with respect to the first engaging portion 161. It is provided at a position depressed on the control board 73 side.

  The second engagement portion 162 is provided on the left side in the insertion direction with respect to the center line and slightly behind the center of the other side extending along the insertion direction. In other words, the second engagement portion 162 is provided at a position separated from the non-cover surface 71c to the outside of the accommodation space of the main board case 74 in the locked state. The second engaged portion 133 is provided rearward in the insertion direction with respect to the second engaging portion 162, and the accommodation space of the main board case 74 from the non-cover surface 71 c with respect to the second engaging portion 162. Is provided at a position remote from the outside.

  The locked state between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 is such that the first engaging portion 161 is engaged with the first engaged portion 143 at a position asymmetrical with respect to this center line. The engaging portion 162 is formed by engaging the second engaged portion 133. With such a configuration, the engagement between the first engagement portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is released by the amount that the work cannot be performed at the same position along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160, By taking time to release the engagement between the second engagement portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133, the main board case 74 can be made more resistant to fraud.

  Further, the above-described difference in shape between the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 can be expressed as a difference in elastic structure. That is, the first engaging portion 161 has a predetermined elastic structure, and the second engaging portion 162 has an elastic structure different from the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161.

  The elastic structure of the first engagement portion 161 is an edge portion located between one side having a bent portion extending along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 and a hole having an elongated shape extending along this side. It is constituted by. That is, in the elastic structure of the first engagement portion 161, this edge portion is elastically deformed. However, since both ends of this edge portion are fixed to the connector caulking plate 160, the edge portion is elastically deformed even when lightly pressed by a person. It has a difficult elastic structure.

  The elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 has the same material as that of the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161, but the other side extending along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 is folded back in the middle to be backward. It is constituted by a folded portion having an elongated shape. The folded portion has an elastic structure that is easily elastically deformed such that it is elastically deformed when lightly pressed by a person. That is, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 is at least the first engaging force when the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 starts to be elastically deformed against the elastic force of the second engaging portion 162. It can be said that this is an elastic structure that is hardly elastically deformed against the elastic force of the joint portion 161.

  Thus, by making the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 and the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 different from each other, the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 reduces the elastic force of the second engaging portion 162. With the force at the time of starting to be elastically deformed, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 can be made difficult to be deformed against the elastic force. Thereby, even when the locked state is to be released improperly, the second engagement portion 162 can be incorrectly elastically deformed to be in a state where the engagement at the second engagement portion 162 can be released. However, with the same magnitude of force, the first engagement portion 161 is elastically deformed, and it is difficult to release the engagement at the first engagement portion 161. Therefore, it is difficult to perform an illegal act such as releasing the connector caulking plate 160 from the plate insertion space 150 by simultaneously disengaging the engagement at the first engagement portion 161 and the engagement at the second engagement portion 162. Therefore, the main board case 74 can be made resistant to fraud.

  Also, the connector caulking plate 160 allows the first engaging portion 161 to engage with the first engaged portion 143 before the second engaging portion 162 engages with the second engaged portion 133. It is formed so that. That is, the connector caulking plate 160 is formed such that the first engaged portion 161 that is not easily elastically deformed is engaged before the second engagement portion 162 that is easily elastically deformed.

  The first engaged portion 143 on the main board case 74 side is pressed against the first engaging portion 161 in the plate insertion space 142 to cause the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 to resist the elastic force. It has a first pressing portion 144 that is elastically deformed and restores the elastically deformed elastic structure to its original shape by its elastic force. The second engaged portion 133 on the connector caulking cover 130 side is pressed against the second engaging portion 162 in the plate insertion space 132 to cause the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 to resist the elastic force. It has a second pressing portion 134 that is elastically deformed and restores the elastically deformed elastic structure to its original shape by its elastic force.

  The first pressing portion 144 is formed such that the length along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 is shorter than the second pressing portion 134. Therefore, even if the state where the first engaging portion 161 is pressed against the first pressing portion 144 and the state where the second engaging portion 162 is pressed against the second pressing portion 134 occur simultaneously, the first The engaging portion 161 is released from the pressed state earlier than the second engaging portion 162 and is brought into a state of engaging with the first engaging portion.

  With this configuration, when the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, first, the first engaging portion elastically deformed by the first pressing portion 144 on the first engaged portion 143 side. The elastic structure 161 is restored to the original shape, thereby engaging with the first engaged portion 143. Next, the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 elastically deformed by the second pressing portion 134 on the side of the second engaged portion 133 is restored to its original shape, thereby engaging with the second engaged portion 133. I do. That is, while the elastic structure of the softer second engaging portion 162 is elastically deformed, it is better to push the elastic structure of the harder first engaging portion 161 back to the original shape and restore the original shape. After the second engaging portion 162 is engaged with the second engaged portion 133, the first engaging portion 161 can be moved to its original shape rather than pushing the rigid elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 back to the original shape. The work of engaging the first engaged portion 143 is easy. Therefore, even when the elastic structures are different, it is possible to easily perform the operation for forming the above-described locked state.

  Next, a configuration required to release the locked state between the main board case 74, the connector caulking cover 130, and the connector caulking plate 160 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. In addition, FIG. 19 to FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 16 and 21, the cover outer wall portion 130a of the connector caulking cover 130 has the cover outer wall portion 130d located on the upper side and the cover outer wall portion located on the right side with the main board case 74 in the upright posture. 130e, a cover outer wall portion 130f located on the lower side, and a cover outer wall portion 130g located on the left side. The plate insertion space 132 projects from the right end of the cover outer wall 130d, the upper part of the cover outer wall 130e, the right end of the cover outer wall 130f, and the cover 130c along the direction in which the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted. And a cover inner wall portion 130j provided so as to face the upper half of the cover outer wall portion 130e.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the cover outer wall 130e extends from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge of the cover outer wall 130e, and has a cover gap 130h having a predetermined width. In other words, the cover gap 130h is formed in the cover outer wall portion 130e that forms the insertion space 150. The length at which the cover gap 130h is formed is L1. The cover outer wall portion 130e is divided into a lower cover outer wall portion 130e1 and an upper cover outer wall portion 130e2 with the cover gap 130h interposed therebetween.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 21, the cover inner wall 130j extends from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge of the cover inner wall 130j on the insertion space forming wall 130b and has a cover gap 130k having a predetermined width. Is formed. In other words, the cover gap 130k is formed in the cover inner wall 130j that forms the plate insertion space 150. The length at which the cover gap 130k is formed is the same as the length L2 at which the first bulging portion 136 is formed. The cover inner wall portion 130j is divided into a lower cover inner wall portion 130j1 and an upper cover inner wall portion 130j2 with a cover gap 130k interposed therebetween.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the cover 130c is provided with a cover gap 130l that connects the cover gap 130i and the cover gap 130k. The cover gaps 130i, 130k, 130l are also connected to the cover gap 130h via the plate insertion space 150. That is, the cover gaps 130h, 130i, 130k, 130l and the plate insertion space 150 constitute one gap. The cover outer walls 130d1, 130e1, 130f, and 130g and the cover 130c are separated from the cover outer walls 130d2 and 130e2 by the cover gaps 130h, 130i, 130j, and 130k and the plate insertion space 150. , The first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137. In other words, the cover outer wall portions 130d2 and 130e2 are located between the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137.

  Referring to FIG. 15, a second engaged portion 133 is provided on the inner surface side of the cover outer wall portion 130e2. The first bulging portion 136 has a crimping protruding portion 165 protruding from the connector caulking plate 160 inserted into a space formed by the bulging. The caulking protruding portion 165 has substantially the same length as the length L2 of the first bulging portion 136.

  As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the main board case 74 is provided with a region to which the connector 95a is connected at a position recessed toward the lower side of the case 72 from the non-cover surface 71c of the upper case 71. The regions to which the connector 95a is connected include a case outer wall 147c located above the connector 95a, a case outer wall 147d located to the right of the connector 95a, a case outer wall 147e located below the connector 95a, and a connector. 95a and a case outer wall 147f located on the left side of the case 95a. The case outer wall portion 147d forms a plate insertion space 147 together with the case outer wall portion 147g located further outside thereof.

  A case protrusion 147b is formed on the case outer wall 147g to protrude outward from the wall surface. The case protrusion 147b extends from the rear end of the first bulging portion 136 to a flat surface in a region where the connector 95a is connected. The length at which the case protrusion 147b is formed is L5. As shown in FIG. 17, the case projecting portion 147b is arranged at a position vertically above the first bulging portion 136 along the above-described cover gap 130h. The case projecting portion 147b projects in the same direction as the caulking projecting portion 165 inserted into the first bulging portion 136. As shown in FIG. 18, the case protrusion 147b is formed such that the amount of protrusion outward from the first bulging portion 136 is shorter when the connector caulking cover 130 is viewed from the upper surface side. As shown in FIG. 16, the case projecting portion 147b is located so as to hide behind the first bulging portion 136 and the caulking projecting portion 165 when the main board case 74 in the upright state is viewed from the front. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, when the front door 12 of the slot machine 10 is opened, a portion on the connector caulking cover 130 side such as the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 and a caulking protruding portion Although the portion on the connector caulking plate 160 side such as 165 can be visually recognized, the case protruding portion 147b on the main board case 74 side can be hardly visually recognized.

  Next, the operation of releasing the locked state will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When cutting the first bulging part 136 along the cutting point S1 shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 16 and cutting the second bulging part 137 along the cutting point S2 shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The joint between the cover outer wall portions 130d1, 130e1, 130f, 130g, the cover portion 130c and the cover outer wall portions 130d2, 130e2 is cut. Therefore, the cover outer walls 130d2, 130e2 are separated from the cover outer walls 130d1, 130e1, 130f, 130g, and the cover 130c with the cover gaps 130h, 130i, 130k, 130l and the plate insertion space 150 interposed therebetween.

  Further, when the cover outer wall portions 130d2 and 130e2 are separated from the connector caulking cover 130, the second engaged portion 133 engaged with the second engaging portion 162 of the connector caulking plate 160 also becomes the cover outer wall portion 130d2. It will be separated from the connector caulking cover 130 together with 130e2. When the engagement at the second engagement portion 162 is released, the connector caulking plate 160 can freely move the insertion space 150 along the cover inner wall portion 130j. When the engagement at the second engagement portion 162 is released in this manner, the engagement between the first engagement portion 161 of the connector caulking plate 160 and the first engaged portion 143 of the main board case 74 is released. Even if not, the locked state between the main board case 74, the connector caulking cover 130, and the connector caulking plate 160 is released.

  When the first bulging portion 136 is cut, not only the connector swaging cover 130 but also the swaging protrusion 165 is cut, so that the connector swaging cover 130 is cut along the cut portion S1 shown in FIG. And the connector caulking plate 160 leave traces of destruction that occur during cutting. Specifically, the first bulging portion 136 of the connector caulking cover 130 and the caulking protruding portion 165 of the connector caulking plate 160 overlap in the vertical and horizontal directions when the gaming machine is viewed from the front, and the main board case 74 and the connector In order to release the state in which the caulking cover 130 cannot be attached or detached, it is broken along the cut portion S1. Therefore, a single destruction leaves traces of destruction on both the connector swaging cover 130 and the connector swaging plate 160. This makes it difficult to remove the connector caulking plate 160 without damage even if the connector caulking cover 130 is broken. Further, since traces of destruction remain on both the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160, it is easy to find such misconduct.

  Further, when the first bulging portion 136 is cut, not only the connector caulking cover 130 and a part of the connector caulking plate 160 are cut, but also the first bulging portion 136 is cut as shown in a cut portion S1 in FIG. A portion (case protruding portion 147b of main board case 74) adjacent to first bulging portion 136 of case protruding portions 147b arranged in a line may be broken. Of course, if an operator who is familiar with the shape of the main board case 74 carefully cuts only the first bulging portion 136, only the first bulging portion 136 can be broken without breaking the case protrusion 147b. In some cases, as described above, the case protrusion 147b is positioned so as to be hidden behind the first bulge 136 and the caulking protrusion 165 when the main board case 74 in the upright state is viewed from the front. Therefore, when cutting the first bulging portion 136, there is a possibility that the case protruding portion 147b may be broken without knowing, as in a cutting portion S1 shown in FIG. Thereby, when cutting the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 not only in the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160 but also in the main board case 74 along the cutting portions S1 and S2. May leave traces of destruction. Therefore, it becomes easier to find fraudulent acts as much as the trace of destruction remains. Further, it is also possible to make it difficult to recycle the intact main board case 74 to make an improper board case after illegally releasing the locked state.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 10 of the present embodiment, in the gaming machine including the main board case 74 that houses therein the main control board 73 on which electronic components for controlling the game are mounted, Reference numeral 74 denotes a case in which the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 for housing the main control board 73 therein and the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 in a state where the main control board 73 is housed therein are difficult to open. Means 75, 76, wherein the sealing means 75, 76 form a plurality of pairs of sealed portions formed at predetermined locations on the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 with the main control board 73 housed therein. A sealing pin that makes it difficult to open the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 by being inserted into the stop portions 75a, 75b and 76a, 76b and the plural pairs of sealed portions 75a, 75b, 76a, 76b. 79 And a plurality of pairs of sealed portions 75a, 75b and 76a, 76b are provided to release the first sealed portions 75a, 76a, the lower case 72, and the upper case 71, respectively, in a state where it is difficult to open the first sealed portions 75a, 76a and the lower case 72. The first sealed portions 75a and 76a are composed of second sealed portions 75b and 76b having a breakable portion 78A formed so as to be more easily broken than the first sealed portions 75a and 76a. A first sealing means 75 in which the first sealed portion 75a is provided on the lower case 72 and a second sealed portion 75b is provided on the upper case 71; and a first sealed portion 76a is provided on the upper case 71. And a second sealing means 76 in which the second sealed portion 76b is provided below the case 72. The first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b In the superposed state, the portion 7 to be destroyed by the first sealing means 75 And the object to be broken portion 78B of the A and second sealing means 76 is facing in the same direction.

  According to such a configuration, the first sealing means 75 includes the first sealed portion 75a provided on the lower case 72 and the second sealed portion 75b provided on the upper case 71, and The sealing means 76 includes a first sealed portion 76a provided on the upper case 71 and a second sealed portion 76b provided on the lower case 72, and the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second When the sealing pins 79 are inserted into the sealed portions 75b and 76b, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are connected to the upper case 71 and the case with the control board housed therein. It is difficult to open the lower part 72. The state where it is difficult to open the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 is released by destroying the destroyed portions 78A and 78B. The breakable portions 78A, 78B are provided on the second sealed portions 75b, 76b, but the second sealed portions 75b, 76b are provided on the case 71 in the first sealing means 75. The second sealing means 76 is provided on the lower case 72. Therefore, if the destructible portions 78A and 78B are destroyed in order to release the state in which the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 formed by the sealing means are hard to open, the destruction marks on both the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 will remain. Remains. Since the portion to be destroyed 78A of the first sealing means 75 and the portion to be destroyed 78B of the second sealing means 76 face in the same direction, the portions to be destroyed 78A and 78B are located above the case 71 and below the case 72. It is hard to notice that it is provided separately.

  This makes it difficult to obtain the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 from the main board case 74 in an intact state. Therefore, even if two main board cases 74 are prepared and the intact lower case 72 is taken out from one main board case 74 and the intact upper case 71 is taken out from the other main board case 74, Since it is difficult to obtain the lower case 72 and the upper case 71 from the main board case 74 in an intact state, fraud caused by the creation of one new main board case 74 from the two main board cases 74. The act also becomes difficult. As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine capable of reducing fraud on the main board case 74. Note that such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in the above (1).

  When the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b are overlapped and viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the destructed portions 78A and 78B face, the first sealed portion is formed. The second sealed portion 75b of the means 75 and the second sealed portion 76b of the second sealing means 76 have the same or similar shape. According to such a configuration, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the portions to be destroyed 78A and 78B face, the second portion to be sealed 75b in the first sealing means 75 and the second portion to be sealed in the second sealing means 76. 2 Since there is no difference in the shape from the sealed portion 76b or even if there is a slight difference in the shape, the portion 78A to be broken by the first sealing means 75 and the portion to be broken 78B by the second sealing means 76 In the same direction when viewed from the front of the gaming machine, it is possible to make it difficult to notice that the destroyed portions 78A and 78B are provided separately in the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. Note that such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (2) above.

  When the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b are overlapped and viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the destructed portions 78A and 78B face, the first sealed portion is formed. The first sealed portion 75a located behind the destroyed portion 78A in the means 75 and the first sealed portion 76a located behind the destroyed portion 78B in the second sealing means 76 are the same. Or a similar shape. According to such a configuration, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the destructed portions 78A and 78B face, the first sealed portion 75a located behind the destructed portion 78A in the first sealing means 75 and Since there is no difference in the shape of the first sealed portion 76a located behind the portion to be destroyed 78B in the second sealing means 76 or even if there is a slight difference in the shape, the first sealed portion Due to the difference between 75a and 76a, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the destructible portions 78A and 78B are provided separately in the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. Note that such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (3) above.

  As described above, according to the slot machine 10 of the first embodiment, the main board case 74 is attached to a predetermined portion, and the main control board 73 inside the main board case 74 can control the game. In the enabled state, the connector caulking cover 130 covering the area to which the connector 95a of the main board case 74 is connected is detachably attached by the cover attaching mechanism 141, and is not detachable by the connector caulking plate 160. The slot machine 10 according to the present invention is shipped after the mounting in the above. Thus, in a state where the cover mounting mechanism 141 can be attached or detached, the work of attaching the connector caulking cover 130 can be adjusted. It becomes difficult to remove the connector caulking cover 130 from the region where the connector is swaged. In other words, the slot machine 10 after shipment is in a state where it is difficult to perform unauthorized access to the area of the main board case 74 to which the connector 95a is connected. Therefore, it is possible to provide the slot machine 10 that can make it difficult to perform an improper act performed through a region to which the connector 95a is connected in a state where the main board case 74 is normally attached.

  Here, the “non-detachable state” is a state in which it cannot be removed with normal force, and if it is forcibly removed, one or both of the attached members are damaged. means.

  The state in which the connector caulking plate 160 cannot be attached or detached is a state in which the first engaging portion 161 is more difficult to visually recognize from the front of the slot machine 10 than the second engaging portion 162, and the slot machine is less than the first engaging portion 161. 10 and a second engaging portion 162 which is easily visible from the front. Thereby, the main board case 74 can be made resistant to fraud. That is, when the wrongdoer attempts to remove the connector caulking cover 130 which has been set in an irremovable state by the second means, the first member provided at a position easily visible from the front of the slot machine 10. An attempt is made to release the attached state at the joint 161. However, the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be removed from the main board case 74 unless the attachment state at the second engagement part 162 is released even if the attachment state at the first engagement part 161 can be released. At this time, since the second engaging portion 162 is disposed at a position where it is difficult to see from the front of the slot machine 10, it is difficult for a fraudster to easily notice the presence of the second engaging portion 162. For this reason, it takes a long time to complete the fraud, so that the main board case 74 can be made resistant to fraud.

  The “state that is more difficult to see from the front of the slot machine 10 than the second engaging portion 162” and “the state that is easier to see from the front of the slot machine 10 than the first engaging portion 161” are the first engaging portion 161 and the second The difference in the position where the engaging portion 162 is provided, the difference in the shape of the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162, and the size of the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162. This is a state caused by differences.

  Further, the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 are disposed separately from each other with reference to a predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-cover surface 71c) of the main board case 74. The first engagement portion 161 is located behind a predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-cover surface 71 c) of the main board case 74, that is, more main than the predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-cover surface 71 c) of the main board case 74. Although disposed at a position close to the control board 73, the second engagement portion 162 is located on the front side of a predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-cover surface 71 c) of the main board case 74, that is, the main board case 74. Since it is arranged at a position farther from the main control board 73 than a predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-cover surface 71c), it is easy to see from the front of the slot machine 10. Therefore, the first engagement portion 161 can be made more difficult to see from the front of the slot machine 10 than the second engagement portion 162.

  Further, since the second engaging portion 162 is hidden behind the portion on the main board case 74 side constituting the cover attaching mechanism 141, when viewed from the front of the slot machine 10, the second engaging portion 162 is found. It can be spicy.

  In addition, at least the main board case 74 and the connector caulking plate 160 of the main board case 74, the cover mounting mechanism 141, and the connector caulking plate 160 are resins having a common transparency in any of colorless, same color, or similar colors. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to notice how to release the non-detachable state formed by the connector caulking plate 160. Note that all of the main board case 74, the cover attaching mechanism 141, and the connector caulking plate 160 may be made of a colorless, the same color, or a similar color transmissive resin.

  Further, if the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130, which are detachably attached by the cover attaching mechanism 141, are locked by the connector caulking plate 160, the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be detached. Since the lock state is established, the operation for forming the lock state is simplified.

  Further, by setting the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 in a detachable mounting state, the connector insertion space 142 provided in the main board case 74 and the plate insertion space 132 provided in the connector caulking cover 130 allow the connector to be connected. A plate insertion space 150 into which the caulking plate 160 is inserted is formed. By inserting the connector caulking plate 160 into the plate insertion space 150, a locked state is formed in which the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be detached. Accordingly, in a locked state where the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, if the member forming the plate insertion space 150 is broken to illegally release the locked state, the plate insertion space Both the main board case 74 having a part of 150 and the connector caulking cover 130 are easily broken. If both the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are destroyed, even if the locked state is incorrectly released, traces of destruction remain on both the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130. Therefore, it becomes easier to find fraudulent acts as much as the trace of destruction remains. Further, it is possible to make it difficult to make an unauthorized main board case 74 intact by reusing the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 after the locked state has been illegally released.

  Further, when the above-described locking state is formed, the mating members of the connector caulking plate 160 with which the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 are engaged are the first engaged portions of the main board case 74, respectively. The portion 143 and the second engaged portion 133 of the connector caulking cover 130 are different. As a result, in the above-described locked state, if the engagement between the first engagement portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is illegally released, a trace of destruction remains on the main board case 74, and the second engagement portion If an attempt is made to illegally release the engagement between the second engaged portion 133 and the second engaged portion 133, traces of destruction remain on the connector caulking cover 130. Therefore, it becomes easier to find fraudulent acts as much as the trace of destruction remains. Further, it is possible to make it difficult to make an unauthorized main board case 74 intact by reusing the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 after the above-mentioned locked state has been illegally released.

  Further, the shape of the engagement between the first engagement portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is different from the shape of the engagement between the second engagement portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133. . In this manner, in the above-described locked state, the second engagement is performed unless a method different from the method employed when illegally releasing the engagement between the first engagement portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is adopted. The engagement between the portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133 can be made difficult to be illegally released. Therefore, it takes time to release the engagement between the first engagement portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 and release the engagement between the second engagement portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133. This makes the main board case 74 resistant to fraud.

  The first engaging portion 161 engages with the first engaged portion 143 at a position that is asymmetrical with respect to the center line drawn along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160, The locked state is formed by the engagement of the engagement portion 162 with the second engaged portion 133. Thereby, in the locked state, the position where the operation of illegally releasing the engagement between the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is performed, and the position where the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion are engaged. The position where the operation of illegally releasing the engagement with the connector 133 is performed is a different position along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160. Therefore, since the work cannot be performed at the same position along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160, the engagement between the first engagement portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is released, and the second engagement portion 162 The main board case 74 can be made more resistant to fraud by allowing time to be released from the engagement with the second engaged portion 133.

  Further, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 and the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 are different from each other, and the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 is elastic against the elastic force of the second engaging portion 162. With the force at the time of starting to be deformed, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 is unlikely to be deformed against the elastic force. As a result, even when the second engaging portion 162 can be elastically deformed against its elastic force when attempting to release the locked state illegally, the first engaging portion 162 can be deformed with the same magnitude of force. It is difficult to elastically deform the portion 161 against its elastic force. Therefore, it is difficult to perform an illegal act such as simultaneously elastically deforming the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 to release the locked state illegally. Can be stronger.

  When the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, first, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 elastically deformed by the first pressing portion 144 on the first engaged portion 143 side is restored. The first engaged portion 143 is engaged by restoring to the shape shown in FIG. Next, the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 elastically deformed by the second pressing portion 134 on the side of the second engaged portion 133 is restored to its original shape, thereby engaging with the second engaged portion 133. I do. That is, while the elastic structure of the softer second engaging portion 162 is elastically deformed, it is better to push the elastic structure of the harder first engaging portion 161 back to the original shape and restore the original shape. After the second engaging portion 162 is engaged with the second engaged portion 133, the first engaging portion 161 can be moved to its original shape rather than pushing the rigid elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 back to the original shape. The work of engaging the first engaged portion 143 is easy. Therefore, even when the elastic structures are different, it is possible to easily perform the operation for forming the above-described locked state.

  Further, when the main board case 74 is attached to the rotating base 120 and the connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74, the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, so that the main board Not only is the case 74 separated from the connector caulking cover 130, but also the separation between the main board case 74 and the rotating base 120 is restricted. Conversely, when the locked state is released, not only the separation regulation between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 but also the separation regulation between the main board case 74 and the rotating base 120 are released. Thus, the separation regulation and the release of the separation regulation between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 and the separation regulation and the release of the separation regulation between the main board case 74 and the rotating base 120 can be performed by one operation. it can. Therefore, the efficiency of these operations can be improved.

  In order to release the locked state, a first bulge 136 provided on the plate insertion space forming wall 130b of the cover outer wall 130a and a second bulge 137 provided at a different position on the cover outer wall 130a. And a part of the wall for forming the plate insertion space (cover outer wall portions 130d2, 130e2) located therebetween must be separated from the cover outer wall portion 130a. When the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 are cut, not only the connector caulking cover 130 is cut but also inserted into the first bulging space 136a formed by the bulging of the first bulging portion 136. When the swaged protruding portion 165 is also cut, a trace of destruction 138 generated at the time of cutting remains on the connector caulking cover 130, and a trace of destruction 166 at the time of cutting remains on the connector caulking plate 160. As a result, even if the connector caulking cover 130 is broken, it is difficult to perform an illegal act of trying to remove the connector caulking plate 160 without damage, and thus the main board case 74 can be made resistant to illegal acts.

  Further, the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 provided at the plate insertion space forming wall (the cover outer wall portion 130d) of the cover outer wall portion 130a or at a portion in contact with the plate insertion space forming wall (the cover outer wall portion 130e2). Is cut, the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 extend from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge of the cover outer wall portion 130a and along the cover gaps 130h and 130i having a predetermined width. The plate insertion space forming walls (cover outer wall portions 130d2, 130e2) located between the outer wall portions are separated from the cover outer wall portion 130a. Thereby, the locked state is released. Further, when the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 are cut, not only the connector caulking cover 130 is cut, but also a caulking protruding into a space formed by the bulging of the first bulging portion 136. The protruding portion 165 is also cut, so that both the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160 leave traces of destruction generated at the time of cutting. As a result, even if the connector caulking cover 130 is broken, it is difficult to perform an illegal act of trying to remove the connector caulking plate 160 without damage, and thus the main board case 74 can be made resistant to illegal acts.

  Further, when the first bulging portion 136 into which the caulking protrusion 165 is inserted is cut, not only the connector caulking cover 130 and a part of the connector caulking plate 160 are cut, but also the first caulking cover 130 and the first caulking plate 160 along the cover gap 130h. At least a part of the case protrusion 147b, which is arranged at a position aligned with the bulging portion 136 and protrudes from the case outer wall 147g in the same direction as the caulking protrusion 165, is also broken. Thereby, not only the connector swaging cover 130 and the connector swaging plate 160 but also the main board case 74 can leave traces of destruction generated when the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 are cut. Therefore, it becomes easier to find fraudulent acts as much as the trace of destruction remains. In addition, it is difficult to intactly create an unauthorized board case in which the storage case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 after the locked state has been illegally released are reused.

  In the first embodiment described above, the first sealed portion 75a and the second sealed portion 75b forming the first sealing means 75, and the first sealed portion 76a forming the second sealing means 76 The second sealed portion 76b is exposed in front of the gaming machine, but may have a configuration for shielding a part of the second sealed portion 76b. Such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating a shielding portion 77A provided in a main board case 74 according to the second embodiment.

  The substrate housing case 74 has a structure in which the first sealed portions 75a and 76a and the second sealed portions 75b and 76b are overlapped with each other, when viewed from the same direction as the direction in which the breakable portions 78A and 78B face. A shielding portion 77A is provided in front of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 and concealing boundaries between the first sealing means 75, the second sealing means 76, and the substrate housing case 74. Have been. Specifically, the shielding portion 77A is formed in a plate shape protruding upward along the side of the main control board 73 on the component mounting surface side on the upper surface of the upper case 71. The height of the shielding portion 77A is about one third of the height of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76. The back of the shielding portion 77A is difficult to see through, for example, by being formed of a non-transparent resin.

  At the boundary between the first sealing means 75 and the substrate housing case 74, since the second sealed portion 75b is provided on the case 71, a gap is provided between the second sealed portion 75b and the case upper 71. Does not occur, but since the first sealed portion 75a is provided in the lower case 72, a very small gap is generated between the first sealed portion 75a and the upper case 71, and no gap is generated. Also, the boundary between the first sealed portion 75a and the upper case 71 may be in an easily understandable state. In FIG. 23, there is no gap between the first sealed portion 75a of the first sealing means 75 and the upper case 71, but the first sealed portion 75a and the upper case 71 are separate components. Therefore, the boundary between the first sealed portion 75a and the upper case 71 is easily changed.

  At the boundary between the second sealing means 76 and the substrate housing case 74, since the first sealed portion 76a is provided on the upper case 71, a gap is provided between the first sealed portion 76a and the upper case 71. Does not occur, but there is a gap corresponding to the provision of the bent portion 76f. Further, since the second sealed portion 76b is provided in the lower case 72, even if a slight gap is formed between the second sealed portion 76b and the upper case 71, or if no gap is formed, the second sealed portion 76b is formed. The boundary between the sealing portion 76b and the upper case 71 may be in a state that is easy to understand. In FIG. 23, there is no gap between the second sealed portion 76b of the second sealing means 76 and the upper case 71, but the second sealed portion 76b and the upper case 71 are separate components. Therefore, the boundary between the second sealed portion 76b and the upper case 71 is in a state where it is easy to understand.

  As described above, by providing the shielding portion 77A on the front side of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76, the first sealed portion 77 and the second sealed portion 78, the substrate housing case 74, From the difference between the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 at the boundary of the above, it is noticed that the portions to be destroyed 78A and 78B are provided separately on the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. Can be reduced. Note that such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (4) above.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, the configuration in which the first sealing unit 75 and the second sealing unit 76 are provided for one main board case 74 has been described. Two or more are acceptable. In the main board case 74, the position where the first sealing means 75 is provided and the position where the second sealing means 76 is provided may be changed according to the model of the gaming machine. Such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 24 is a diagram illustrating a main board case 74 according to the model A of the third embodiment. FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating a main board case 74 according to the model B of the third embodiment. FIGS. 26A, 26B, and 26C are diagrams illustrating three types of main board cases 74 according to the model C of the third embodiment.

  The main board case 74 according to the models A and B includes three first sealing means 75 and one second sealing means 76. Each of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 is configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment. Has a portion to be destroyed 78B.

  With such a configuration, the destructible portions 78A and 78B are provided separately for the first case component and the second case component by the increased number of sealing means as compared with the first embodiment. It is possible to reduce the notice.

  As shown in FIG. 24, in the substrate housing case 74 according to the model A, the first sealing means 75 is disposed on the right side of the upper surface of the substrate housing case and on the left and right ends of the lower surface. 76 is arranged on the left end of the upper surface of the substrate case 74. As shown in FIG. 25, the board case 74 according to the model B has the first sealing means 75 disposed at the right and left ends of the upper surface of the board case 74 and the right end of the lower surface thereof. Are disposed on the left end of the lower surface of the board case 74. In addition, since the lower surface of the main board case 74 is exposed in the fixed base 120, the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 may be provided on the lower surface of the main board case 74. It is possible.

  According to such a configuration, as compared with the case where the position where the first sealing means 75 is disposed and the position where the second sealing means 76 are disposed in the substrate housing case 74 are the same, It is possible to make it difficult to notice that the portions 78A and 78B are provided separately on the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. Note that such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in the above (6).

  In the substrate housing case 74 according to the model C, the position where the first sealing means 75 is arranged and the position where the second sealing means 76 are arranged are changed between the substrate housing cases 74 provided in the same model C. doing. That is, as shown in FIG. 26 (a), in the board housing case 74 according to the model C, the first sealing means 75 is disposed on the right side of the upper surface of the board housing case and on the right and left ends of the lower side. The second sealing means 76 is disposed at the left end of the upper surface of the substrate case 74, and the first sealing means 75 is disposed at the left and right ends of the upper surface of the substrate case 74, as shown in FIG. In some cases, the second sealing means 76 is disposed at the left end of the lower surface of the substrate case 74.

  According to such a configuration, the positions of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are common to each model, and the destructible portions 78A and 78B are located between the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. Can be made hard to notice. Note that such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (7) above.

  Further, in the model C, as shown in FIG. 26C, there is also a substrate housing case 74 in which all four sealing means are the first sealing means 75. With this configuration, even in the same model C, the destructible portions 78A and 78B are provided separately for the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 by the amount that the substrate housing case 74 having the first sealing means 75 is mixed. Can be hard to notice.

  In the above-described first to third embodiments, an example of the first sealing unit and the second sealing unit of the present invention has been described. , The second sealing means 76 may have a different structure. The first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 having different structures will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 27 is a front view of the main control device 70 supported by the rotation base 120 according to the fourth embodiment. 28A is a diagram illustrating the first sealing unit 75 according to the fourth embodiment, and FIG. 28B is a diagram illustrating the second sealing unit 76 according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 28 is a view of the substrate housing case 74 of FIG. 27 removed from the rotation 120 as viewed from the right side.

  The structure of the substrate housing case 74 of this embodiment will be described. The second sealed portion 75a constituting the first sealing means 75 is a part of the upper case 71, and a sealing pin is provided at the tip of an extending portion 75f extending upward from the upper surface of the upper case 71. A first cell-shaped member 75g into which 79 is inserted is provided. The extension portion 75f is also a portion to be destroyed 78A having a fracture portion S3 indicated by a dashed line. The first sealed portion 75a constituting the first sealing means 75 is a part of the lower case 72 and has a first square shape at the tip of an extension 75k extending upward from the upper surface of the lower case 72. A first box-shaped member 75c is provided in which the tip of the sealing pin 79 is locked in a state of being superposed on the member 75g.

  On the other hand, the first sealed portion 76a constituting the second sealing means 76 is a part of the upper case 71, but extends from the upper side surface of the upper case 71 toward the lower case 72. A second box-shaped member 76c is provided at the tip of the bent extension 76m. The second sealed portion 76 b constituting the second sealing means 76 is a part of the lower case 72, but is bent to extend from the upper surface of the lower case 72 toward the upper case 71. An extension 76n is provided, and a second square member 76i is provided at the tip of the bent extension 76n. In a state where the second box-shaped member 76i and the second box-shaped member 76c are overlapped, the sealing pin 79 is inserted from the front of the second box-shaped member 76i, and the tip thereof is inserted into the second box-shaped member 76c. Locked. A bent extension 76m that is a part of the upper case 71 and a bent extension 76n that is a part of the lower case 72 intersect on the upper surface of the upper case 71 and the lower case 72. The bent extension portion 76n is also a breakable portion 78B having a break portion S4 indicated by a dashed line.

  After the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 are sealed so that the upper case 71 and the lower case 72 are difficult to open, the breakable portions 78A and 78B are cut, so that the upper case 71, The lower case 72 is opened.

  Here, a shielding portion 77A is provided in front of the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76. Therefore, in the second sealing means 76, the state in which the bent extension portion 76m and the bent extension portion 76n intersect is difficult to visually recognize from the front of the gaming machine.

  The first sealed portion 75a constituting the first sealing means 75 is provided with a first feature that allows a difference to be visually recognized, and the second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 is provided. Has a second feature that allows the difference to be visually recognized. The first feature described above is also applied to the first sealed portion 76a constituting the second sealing means 76, and the second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 is also provided with the first feature described above. The second feature described above is provided.

  The first feature of the first sealed portion 75a that constitutes the first sealing means 75, which can visually recognize the difference, is, for example, the color of the first sealed portion 75a. . The second feature of the second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75, which can visually recognize the difference, is, for example, the color of the first sealed portion 75a described above. Different colors. Here, the first sealed portion 75a constituting the first sealing means 75 is colored red, and the second sealed portion 75b constituting the first sealing means 75 is colored white. Assume that it is colored. The first sealed portion 76a constituting the second sealing means 76 is also colored red, and the second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 is also colored white. I have. Instead of white, it may be colorless and transparent (for example, the same material as the substrate housing case 74).

  According to such a configuration, the first sealed portion 75a forming the first sealing means 75 is colored red, and the second sealed portion 75b forming the first sealing means 75 is colored red. Is white, the pair of sealed portions in which the first sealed portion 75a is colored red and the second sealed portion 75b is white is a common sealing means. Can be recognized. Therefore, the first sealed portion 77a constituting the second sealing means 76 is also colored red, and the second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 is also colored white. Therefore, those who see this misunderstand that the white sealed second sealed portion 76b constituting the second sealing means 76 is a part of the case upper 71 similarly to the first sealing means 75. It is easy to misunderstand that the first sealed portion 76a in red which constitutes the second sealing means 76 is a part of the lower case 72 similarly to the first sealing means 75. . As a result, a person who intends to illegally open the main board case 74 can use the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 to form the first sealed parts 75a, 76a and the second sealed part. It is difficult to notice that the members forming the stop portions 75b and 76b are interchanged, and it is difficult to notice that the destructible portions 78A and 79B are provided separately for the first case component and the second case component. be able to. Note that such a configuration is also an example of the gaming machine described in (5) above.

  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 embodiment, the main board case 74 includes the first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76. A first sealing means 75 and a second sealing means 76 may be provided. The main board case 74 is attached to the inner surface of the main body 11 in a state where the face on which the power switch 81, the reset switch 82, and the like are provided faces the front of the gaming machine. They may be mounted in different orientations.

  <2> In the above-described embodiment, an example of the configuration of the first sealing unit 75 and the second sealing unit 76 has been described. The first sealing means 75 and the second sealing means 76 may have different structures as long as they have an effect. For example, in the fourth embodiment, a part of the first sealing unit 75 and the second sealing unit 76 is colored. However, a structure without coloring as in the first to third embodiments may be employed. Good.

  <3> In the above-described embodiment, the cover mounting mechanism 141 formed between the board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 has been described as a structure corresponding to the first mounting means. The corresponding configuration may be an example in which one of the board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 is formed. For example, a screw hole is provided in the substrate case 74 as a configuration corresponding to the first mounting means, and a detachable state is formed by fastening a one-way screw corresponding to the second mounting means or the mounting member to the screw hole, This is an example in which an unremovable state is formed by crushing the screw head of the one-way screw. In such an example, any configuration other than the one-way screw and the screw hole may be used as long as the same operation and effect can be obtained. In addition, the part where the screw head of the one-way screw overlaps with the screw head in the board case 74 corresponds to a first breakable part.

  <4> In the above-described embodiment, the connector caulking plate 160 is described as a configuration corresponding to the second mounting means. However, the configuration corresponding to the second mounting means is the connector caulking plate 160 as described above. Other examples may be used.

  <5> In the above-described embodiment, the connector caulking plate 160 including the first engagement portion 161 and the second engagement portion 162 has been described as an example of a configuration corresponding to the locking member. The configuration may be a locking member having a different shape, arrangement, and elastic structure from the connector caulking plate 160 as long as the configuration has the same function and effect.

  <6> In the above-described embodiment, as a configuration corresponding to the cover attaching portion, a connector caulking including the main board case 74 including the slide allowance portions 145a and 145b and the slide regulating portions 146a to 146g, and the claw-like portions 135a to 135g. Although the cover mounting mechanism 141 configured with the cover 130 has been described as an example, the cover mounting mechanism 141 may have a different configuration. For example, the configuration corresponding to the cover attaching portion includes a locking projection provided on the connector caulking cover 130 side and a concave portion provided on the main board case 74 side, and the connector caulking cover 130 is slightly bent. A configuration in which the locking projection is locked in the recess, but the connector projection attached to the main board case 74 can be removed from the recess by bending the connector caulking cover 130 again. It is.

  <7> In the above-described embodiment, the case protrusion 147b extends from the rear end of the first bulging portion 136 to the flat surface of the region to which the connector 95a is connected, but the case protrusion 147b is longer than this. You may. FIG. 29 is an enlarged view of a partially enlarged view of FIG. 18, and illustrates a case protrusion 147 b of a main board case 74 according to the first modification. In the first modification, the length of the first bulge 136 is the same L2 as the length of the first bulge 136 of the embodiment, but the case protrusion 147b is provided at the rear end of the first bulge 136. The connector 95a extends from a position closer to the front (a position slightly closer to the front side than the non-cover surface 71c of the upper case 71) to a flat surface in a region to which the connector 95a is connected. It is formed longer than the length L5 of the case protrusion 147b of the embodiment. The length at which the case protrusion 147b of the first modification is formed is referred to as L6. That is, the upper end of the case protrusion 147 b of the first modification extends into the first bulge 136. Therefore, even if the first bulging portion 136 is cut only to the rear end of the first bulging portion 136 along the cutting point S3 indicated by the two-dot chain line, the first bulging portion 136 is The case protrusion 147b contained therein can be reliably destroyed, and a trace of destruction can be left on the main board case 74 (case upper part 71).

  <8> Further, instead of the case projecting portion 147b, the first bulging portion 136 may be different from the embodiment. FIG. 30 is a partially enlarged view of the partially enlarged view of FIG. 18, and illustrates the first bulging portion 136 of the connector caulking cover 130 according to the second modification. In the second modification, the case protrusion 147b has the same length L5 as the case protrusion 147b of the embodiment (the front end of the case protrusion 147b is located at a position slightly deeper than the non-cover surface 71c of the upper case 71). As described above, the length of the first bulging portion 136 of the second modification is longer than the length L2 of the first bulging portion 136 of the embodiment. The first bulging portion 136 of Modification Example 2 is formed so that the lower end portion covers the vicinity of the upper end portion of the case projecting portion 147b. Thereby, even when the first bulging portion 136 of the second modification is cut only to the rear end of the first bulging portion 136a along the cut portion S3, the case is reliably projected. The vicinity of the upper end of the portion 147b can also be broken. Moreover, since the upper end of the case protrusion 147b is provided at a position deeper than the non-cover surface 71c of the upper case 71, other members may come into contact with the case protrusion 147b when the main board case 74 is assembled. Thus, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the case protrusion 147b is damaged by mistake.

  <9> Instead of the connector swaging cover 130 of the above-described embodiment, a member that covers an area other than the area to which the connector 95a is connected in the predetermined area of the main board case 74 may be provided. For example, a sealing member cover that covers a region where the sealing member 160 provided on the front of the main substrate case 74 is attached may be provided. Since the sealing member 160 is provided in front of the main board case 74, it is easy to access the front door 12 when the front door 12 is opened, and it is easy for cheating to take place. However, by covering the region where the sealing member is attached with the sealing member cover, it is possible to make it difficult to access the sealing member 160 and to make it difficult for the sealing member 160 to perform an illegal act.

  <10> The connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment covers the area where the connector 95a on the main board case 74 side constituting the main control device 70 is connected, but the display control board constituting the sub control device 94. The area where the connector 95b on the side of the sub-board case 94a that houses the connector 94b may be covered. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized act such that the connector 95b connected to the display control board 94b is illegally removed and the hanging board is attached.

  <11> Although the connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment covers the area to which the connector is connected, even if it covers an area other than the area to which the connector is connected and which is not illegally accessed after shipment. I do not care. For example, an area where a cable for transmitting a signal transmitted from the main control device 70 to the sub control device 94 may be covered. In the case where the area where the main cable is wired is the main board case 74 or the sub-board case 93a, it is possible to prevent a fraudulent act of attaching a hanging board between the cables with the same configuration as in the present embodiment.

  <12> Although the connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment covers the area of the main board case 74 to which the connector 95a is connected, the connector caulking cover 130 is connected to another connector of the main board case 74. It may cover an area to be processed. In the fourth modification, the area of the sub-board case 94a to which the connector 95b is connected is covered. However, the modification 4 may cover the area of the sub-board case 94a to which another connector is connected. Absent.

  <13> In the above-described embodiment, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 and the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 have the same material and different elastic structures, but have the same elastic structure with different materials. You may. For example, the two engaging portions have an elastic structure like the second engaging portion 162, but one elastic structure is formed of a resin having a predetermined hardness, and the other elastic structure is bent more. This is the case where it is formed of a resin having a difficult hardness. Note that one elastic structure may be a resin and the other elastic structure may be a different material such as a metal. Even with such a configuration, the same operation and effect as those of the embodiment can be obtained.

  <14> In the above embodiment, the cover member is provided on the main board case 74 of the slot machine 10, but may be provided on the board case of the pachinko machine. For example, when the board case is a main board case that constitutes a main control device that executes a main control related to the pachinko game, a predetermined area covered by the cover member is mainly controlled by a signal from a sensor that detects a winning in the operating port. This is the area where the connector of the cable to be sent to the board is connected. Of course, the substrate case may be a sub-substrate case for accommodating a sub-control substrate of a control device other than the main control device, for example, a sub-control device for displaying identification information on a display device and controlling effects associated therewith. Absent. In this case, the cover member covers an area where the connector on one end of the cable connecting the main control board of the main control device and the sub control board of the sub control device is connected to the sub control board.

  <15> The cover member may be provided on a board case of the gaming machine in which the slot machine and the pachinko machine are combined. In this type of gaming machine, instead of inserting medals, gaming balls stored in a saucer are taken into an insertion device, and instead of paying out medals, gaming balls are paid out. It should be noted that identification information change display means such as a liquid crystal display 15 is provided, and dynamic display of identification information is started by operation of a start operation means such as a start lever 52, and stop buttons 53, 54, and 55 are displayed. The dynamic display of the identification information is stopped due to the operation of the operation means for stopping or after a predetermined time has elapsed, and it is necessary that the fixed identification information at the time of the stop is the specific identification information. And a special game state generating means such as a main controller 70 for generating a special game state advantageous to the player. Also, in this type of gaming machine, the above-mentioned auxiliary gaming state may occur during the special gaming state, and the configuration provided with the connector caulking cover can be applied to the same illegal acts as in the first embodiment. it can.

  <16> The inventions described in the embodiments, examples, and modified examples for carrying out the invention described above may be appropriately modified, replaced, deleted, or combined, as long as they are not mutually exclusive. is there.

  As described above, the present invention is suitable for a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, a slot machine, and a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are combined.
