Occasionally, it is configured to allow displacement of the substrate box and release the holding state only when the sealing is released.
It is characterized by that.

With this configuration, the spacer between the sphere collecting plate and the substrate box fills the space between the two, making it difficult for unauthorized intervention between the two, and the spacer's substrate box. By providing the holding portion in the portion covered by the substrate box when the substrate box is in the coated state, the holding of the coated state of the substrate box cannot be easily released, thereby rotating the substrate box. It is possible to open the covering state and prevent fraudulent acts on the electric parts on the back side of the game board. Further, if necessary, by releasing the sealing of the connecting pedestal sealing portion between the substrate box and the connecting pedestal member, the substrate box is displaced with respect to the connecting pedestal member, thereby holding the holding portion. The state can be released to release the covering state of the substrate box, and at the same time, the substrate box can be removed from the connecting pedestal member.

It is not necessary to have a configuration for obtaining a specific direction operation of the substrate box for the above-mentioned board box, and both operations of unsealing the connecting pedestal sealing portion and releasing the holding state of the holding portion are made one. be able to.

Means 4: As means 4, in order to achieve the above object,
Equipped with a game board with a game area on the front side where game balls can flow down
A board box in which a control board for controlling a predetermined game is housed, a connecting pedestal member for opening and closing the board box, a holding portion for holding the board box in a closed state, and a pedestal to which the connecting pedestal member is attached. A mounting means having a mounting portion and an electrical component mounting portion on which a predetermined electric component is mounted is provided on the back surface side of the game board, and is provided.
At least between the peripheral wall extending in the front-rear direction of the game machine so as to surround the periphery of the predetermined electrical component in the closed state, and between the back surface of the game board and the board box in the closed state at least. Each of the mounting means or at least one of the board boxes is provided with a partition portion which is arranged and has a plurality of walls for partitioning a gap between the back surface of the game board and the board box.
A gaming machine configured so that the electrical components are maintained in a covered state by holding the substrate box in the closed state by the holding portion.
The connecting pedestal member and the substrate box have a shape in which the attachment / detachment direction is restricted in a predetermined direction, and the connection pedestal member and the substrate box are configured to be changed into an attached state and a detached state by moving each other's positions by a predetermined amount in the restricted state. In the mounted state, the sealing member cannot be moved from the connecting pedestal member in the detaching direction without leaving a trace at the positions where the connecting pedestal member and the substrate box face each other. A connecting pedestal sealing part is provided, which is connected by
The holding portion is provided in a region that is in the covered state in the closed state, and the substrate box in a state of being attached to the connecting pedestal member is rotated from the open state to the closed state. Along with this, the board box is placed in the receiving and holding state, and in the holding state, the rotation of the board box in the opening state is restricted and the movement in the detaching state is permitted. It's a thing
By moving the substrate box in the detaching direction by a specific amount shorter than the predetermined amount, the holding state by the holding portion is released, and the substrate box is configured to be rotatable in the direction in which the opening state is obtained. It is characterized by being.

In addition, by providing a compartment, at least when the board box is closed, the space between the board box and the back surface of the game board (near the control board or a predetermined electric component and hidden behind the board box can be confirmed. A space where an extremely illegal board or the like is easily placed, such as a difficult area) is partitioned, and for example, there is no large space for hiding the illegal board or the like. Further, since the holding portion for holding the board box in the closed state is provided in the region to be covered in the closed state of the board box as in the case of a predetermined electric component, the holding state of the board box by the holding portion can be directly checked. It becomes difficult to operate and release the holding portion. Therefore, the predetermined electric component is maintained in a covered state, and fraudulent acts such as modification of the predetermined electric component and arrangement of the fraudulent substrate are prevented.
The holding portion in the state of holding the board box restricts the rotation of the board box in the open state, and allows the board box to move in the direction of detaching from the connecting pedestal member. Therefore, when each connecting pedestal sealing portion is put into the sealed state by the sealing member, the board box cannot be moved in the direction of detachment, so that the board box cannot be opened. When the board box is opened, the unsealing of the connecting pedestal sealing portion leaves a trace of the unsealing at a predetermined position on the game machine, so that the above-mentioned fraudulent acts are performed. In that case, the traces can be used to detect fraudulent activity at an early stage. Further, it is not necessary to provide a sealing mechanism separately from the connecting pedestal sealing portion for keeping the board box in the closed state and preventing the board box from being opened in the open state without leaving a trace. Further, when an unauthorized person illegally releases the sealed state of the connecting pedestal sealing portion and tries to open the board box, the holding portion is simply rotated in the direction of opening. This movement is restricted by, and since the holding part is covered with a board box etc., it is difficult for fraudsters to confirm, so the board box is kept open even after leaving a trace due to unsealing. It is possible to be confused, and it is possible to suppress fraudulent acts that are performed with the knowledge that traces will remain on the game machine.
By moving the board box by a specific amount (amount shorter than the amount that changes between the mounted state and the detached state) with respect to the connecting pedestal member, the holding state by the holding portion is released. When it is desired to perform inspection or cleaning work of a predetermined electric component, these work can be performed in a state where the board box is opened together with the connecting pedestal member without being completely removed from the connecting pedestal member.
Since the board box is configured to be held by the holding portion as it rotates from the open state to the closed state, there is no need to move the board box in a direction other than rotation when the board box is closed. It is possible to realize a structure that does not require complicated work when changing from the closed state to the open state, and conversely, when changing from the open state to the closed state. Further, as described above, the substrate box is held by the holding portion as it rotates from the open state to the closed state, so that the sealing work between the substrate box and the connecting pedestal member is performed at any point in the gaming machine manufacturing process. It can be configured so that it is not limited. For example, the work of sealing the substrate box and the connecting pedestal member may be performed before being delivered to the factory due to fraud countermeasures or because it is sealed in a complicated process and requires skill. is there.

Most of the lower plate unit 13 is made of ABS resin like the inner frame 12. By doing so, it can be highly viscous and strong against impact, and can be manufactured at low cost. In particular, the surface layer forming the lower plate 15 and the front panel portion at the back of the lower plate 15 are molded with flame-retardant ABS resin. Therefore, this part is hard to burn.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the front frame 14 is attached to the inner frame 12 so as to be openable and closable, and like the inner frame 12, the opening and closing axis extending vertically to the left side when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10 is used as an axis. It can be opened to the front side with your heart in mind. Moreover, the front frame 14 is attached so as to fit into the outer wall (rib) 12b of the inner frame 12.
That is, since at least a part of the side surface of the front frame 14 is attached so as to fit into the outer wall (rib) 12b of the inner frame 12, foreign matter (needle shape) is formed through the gap between the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14. Alternatively, it is a thin plate or the like, and specifically, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts such as inserting a wire, piano wire, celluloid plate, etc.). Further, since the front frame 14 is made of synthetic resin, specifically ABS resin, like the inner frame 12, it has high viscosity and can be made strong against impact, and can be manufactured at low cost.

On the other hand, at the lower part of the front frame 14 (upper position of the lower plate 15 described above), an upper plate 19 (see FIG. 1) as a saucer for the game ball is provided integrally with the front frame 14. The upper plate 19 is a ball tray for temporarily storing the game balls and guiding them toward the game ball launching device 38 while arranging them in a row. Like the lower plate 15, the upper plate 19 also has a structure in which the surface layer is molded of flame-retardant ABS resin.

As shown in FIG. 4, the inner frame 12 is mainly composed of a resin base 20 having a rectangular outer shape, and a substantially circular window hole 21 is formed in the central portion of the resin base 20.
The game board 30 shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 is detachably attached to the rear side of the resin base 20. As shown in FIG. 6, the game board 30 is made of quadrangular plywood, one corner of the upper portion is cut off (described later), and the peripheral edge thereof abuts on the back side of the resin base 20 (inner frame 12). It is attached in a state.

Therefore, the substantially central portion of the front surface portion of the game board 30 is exposed to the front surface side of the inner frame 12 through the window hole 21 of the resin base 20 (FIG. 4 shows the out port 36 of the game board 30). ing). Then, here, a corner (corner) close to the pivotal portion (the pivotal attachment centered on the opening / closing axis extending vertically to the left when viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10) with respect to the outer frame 11 of the inner frame 12 of the game board 30. However, as shown in FIG. 6, the corners are dropped (notch) 720 in a substantially triangular shape (the notch is an arc line, but it is a notch of a substantial triangle).

Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a front view showing the configuration of the game board 30. Two pairs of general winning openings 31 and 31 are arranged in a staircase pattern slightly below the left and right sides of the game board 30, and a starting opening 33 is arranged below the center. The general winning openings 31 and 31 and the starting opening 33 are openings that penetrate from the game area toward the back surface, and a winning device is attached corresponding to these openings. That is, ball entry detection sensors corresponding to these are provided on the back surface of the game board 30, and these sensors are connected to a main control board (main control device) described later through electrical wiring (not shown). ..
Then, when a game ball enters the general winning openings 31, 31 and the starting opening 33, it is detected by each of the above detection sensors, and based on the output of the detection sensors, the upper plate 19 (or the lower plate 15) When a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out and a game ball enters the starting port 33, a lottery described later will be started.

The detection results detected by the winning detection sensors are taken into the main control board, which will be described later, and a payout command (number of game balls to be paid out) is issued from the main control board according to the winning situation each time. It is transmitted to the board. Then, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out by the output of the payout control board.
In such a case, a conventional method (so-called evidence ball method) in which the game balls that have won in various winning openings are once collected in a winning ball processing device, and the existence of the winning balls is confirmed one by one by the winning ball processing device and then paid out. ), In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the winning of the game ball is electrically detected at each winning opening and the payout is immediately performed (that is, the winning ball processing device is abolished in the pachinko machine 10). doing). Therefore, even if there are a large number of game balls to be paid out, the payout can be carried out as soon as possible. However, the conventional "evidence ball method" may be applied to the present invention.

Further, a decorative symbol display device 42 using a liquid crystal panel is arranged in the center of the game board 30, and through gates 34 and 34 are arranged on the left and right lateral sides thereof. These through gates open and close the blades of the starting port 33, which will be described later, by passing the game ball.
In addition, decorative members 35 having the above general winning openings 31 and 31 are provided at lower left and right positions of the game board 30, and out openings 36 are provided at the lower part of the game board 30 to win various prizes. The game ball that has not entered the device or the like is guided through the out port 36 toward a ball discharge path (not shown) on the back surface of the game board 30. Further, in the game board 30, a large number of guide nails are planted in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game ball, and a wind turbine having the same function is arranged.

Further, a rail unit 50 for guiding the game ball launched from the game ball launching device 38 to the upper part of the game board 30 is attached to the game board 30, and is launched by rotating the game ball launch handle 18. The game ball is guided to a predetermined game area through the rail unit 50. The rail unit 50 is composed of a ring-shaped resin molded product (for example, one molded by adding fluororesin), and has an inner rail 51 and an outer rail 52 integrally formed with inner and outer doubles. ..

Since the rail unit 50 is molded by adding fluororesin, the frictional resistance of the game ball can be reduced. The inner rail 51 is formed in a substantially annular shape except for about 1/4 of the upper rail, and the outer rail 52 is formed so as to face a part (mainly the left side) or the inner rail 51.
In such a case, the guide rail is formed by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, and the ball guide passage is formed by the portion (the portion on the left side when facing) in which the respective rails 51 and 52 are parallel to each other at a predetermined interval. The ball guide passage is formed in a groove shape having a contact surface with the game board 30, that is, a groove shape in which the front side is open.

A return ball prevention member 53 is attached to the tip end portion (upper left portion in FIG. 6) of the inner rail 51. As a result, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the game ball once guided from the ball guide passage between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 to the upper part of the game board 30 returns to the ball guide passage again. There is. Further, the return rubber 54 is attached to the outer rail 52 at a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the game ball (upper right portion in FIG. 6: a portion corresponding to the tip end portion of the outer rail 52). Therefore, the game ball launched with a force equal to or higher than a predetermined value hits the return rubber 54 and is bounced off. On the inner surface of the outer rail 52, a sliding plate as a long stainless steel metal band is provided in order to make the flight of the game ball smoother, that is, to reduce the frictional resistance of the game ball. It is worn.

Further, an arc-shaped flange 56 projecting outward is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the rail unit 50. The flange 56 constitutes a mounting surface for the game board 30. When the rail unit 50 is attached to the game board 30, the flange 56 is brought into contact with the game board 30, and in that state, screws or the like are inserted into a plurality of through holes formed in the flange 56 to form the game board. The rail unit 50 is fastened to the 30.

At the entrance of the ball guide passage between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, a convex portion 57 is formed so as to close a part of the ball guide passage. The convex portion 57 is provided in a substantially vertical direction from the inner rail 51 to the lower end of the rail unit 50, and serves to guide a foul ball that does not reach the game area and flows backward in the ball guide passage to the foul ball passage. ..
The lower right corner and the lower left corner of the game board 30 are spaces for sticking stickers (S1 and S2 in FIG. 6) such as certificate stamps (for example, the serial number is written) and plates. In order to secure this attachment space, notches 58 and 59 are formed in the flange 56. By attaching stickers such as certificate stamps (S1 and S2 in FIG. 6) to the lower right corner and the lower left corner of the game board 30, the game board 30 and the certificate stamp can be unique.

Next, the game area will be described. The game area is divided into substantially circular shapes by the inner peripheral portions (inner and outer rails) of the rail unit 50. In the present embodiment, when the gaming area is viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10, the area surrounded by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 excluding the area of the guide rail which is a parallel portion of the inner and outer rails 51 and 52. It is supposed to be.
Therefore, since the guide rail portion is not included in the game area, the limit position on the left side of the game area is specified not by the outer rail 52 but by the inner rail 51. Similarly, the right limit position of the gaming area is specified by the inner rail 51. Further, the lower limit position of the game area is specified by the lower end position of the game board 30. Further, the upper limit position of the game area is specified by the outer rail 52.

In the resin base, a launch rail 170 for guiding the game ball immediately after being launched by the game ball launcher 38 is attached below the window hole 21 (game board 30). The launch rail 170 is attached and fixed to the resin base 172 via a base plate 171 (a member for attaching the game ball launcher 38) which is a metal plate (aluminum alloy in this case) behind the launch rail 170, and a predetermined launch is performed. It is configured to extend linearly at an angle (launch angle).
Therefore, the game ball launched by the rotation operation of the game ball launch handle 18 is first launched diagonally upward along the launch rail 170, and then reaches a predetermined game area through the ball guide passage of the rail unit 50 as described above. It is supposed to be guided.

Further, there is a gap at a predetermined interval between the launch rail 170 and the rail unit 50 (guidance rail), and a foul ball passage is formed below this gap. Therefore, if the game ball launched from the game ball launching device 38 does not reach the return ball prevention member 53 and returns in the guide rail as a foul ball, the foul ball returns through the foul ball passage to the lower plate 15. Is discharged to.

When a foul ball flows backward in the guide rail, most of it flows along the outer rail 52 and falls downward when it reaches the lower end of the outer rail 52, but some foul balls are inside the guide rail. Some of them rampage and jump up to the inner rail 51 side. At this time, the bounced foul ball hits the convex portion 57 at the entrance of the ball guide passage and is guided to the foul ball passage, whereby all of the foul balls are surely guided to the foul ball passage, and the foul. Interference between the ball and the next game ball to be launched is suppressed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the game ball launching device 38 is supplied with game balls one by one from the ball outlet on the front frame 14 side (the ball outlet leading from the most downstream portion of the upper plate 19) to the ball feeding mechanism 173. Then, the gate lever 173A provided in the ball feeding mechanism 173 is operated by the solenoid to supply the game balls one by one onto the launch rail. Further, the game ball launching device 38 is provided with a cone-shaped ball striking portion 38A made of synthetic resin and is fixed to the tip of the shaft portion 38B, and the game is accompanied by the piston movement of the striking portion 38A by the excitation of the solenoid. The ball is fired.

Reference numeral 67 in FIG. 4 is a discharge port leading to the upper plate 19, and the game ball is discharged to the upper plate 19 through the discharge port 67. The discharge port 67 is provided with an open / close type shutter that displaces in a substantially horizontal state and a substantially vertical state with a rotation axis in a substantially horizontal direction as an axis, and a state in which the front frame 14 is opened from the inner frame 12. In (the state of FIG. 4), the shutter is changed from a substantially horizontal state to a substantially vertical state by an urging force such as a spring, and the discharge port 67 is closed so that the game ball does not spill from the discharge port 67.

Further, when the front frame 14 is closed, the shutter is pushed open by the ball passage gutter 69 (see FIG. 4) provided on the back surface of the front frame 14, and the shutter is in a substantially horizontal state, and is discharged toward the discharge port 67. All the game balls that have been played will be discharged to the upper plate 19 through the ball passage gutter 69. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to prevent inconveniences such as a game ball in the payout passage or the like spilling out of the pachinko machine 10 when the front frame 14 is opened.

As shown in FIG. 4, on the upper side of the inner frame 12, a front frame set open detection switch 90 for detecting that the front frame 14 is opened with respect to the inner frame 12 is provided. When the front frame 14 is opened, the front frame set open detection switch 90 outputs the output to the computer in the hall (inside the pachinko shop). Further, when the front frame 14 is closed, the metal reinforcing plate of the front frame 14 comes into contact with the pair of metal fittings of the inner frame 12, and the ground of the front frame 14 is secured.

Here, the above-mentioned front frame 14 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.
The front frame 14 is formed with a substantially elliptical window portion 101 so that most of the game area can be visually recognized from the outside. More specifically, the base member has an opening for forming the window portion 101, and the substantially central portion on the left and right sides thereof is curved and narrowed relatively gently as compared with the upper and lower sides. The substantially central portion may be linear.

In addition, the front frame 14 is provided with light emitting portions such as various lamps as one of the effect devices 700 around the front frame 14 (for example, a corner portion). These light emitting units play a role of enhancing the effect during the game by controlling the change of the light emitting mode such as lighting and blinking according to the change of the game state at the time of the big hit game state or the blade opening state. For example, on the peripheral edge of the window portion 101, an annular illumination portion 102 having a built-in light emitting portion such as an LED is provided symmetrically, and at the center of the annular illumination portion 102 and at the uppermost portion of the pachinko machine 10. Similarly, a central illumination unit 103 having a light emitting unit such as an LED is provided.
In the pachinko machine 10, the central illumination unit 103 functions as a jackpot lamp and lights up or blinks during the jackpot gaming state to notify that the jackpot gaming state is in progress. Further, around the upper plate 19, an upper plate illumination unit 104 also having a light emitting unit such as an LED is provided.

In addition, on the left and right sides of the central illumination unit 103, a prize ball lamp 105 that lights up while paying out the prize ball and error indicator lamps 810 and 813 (LED: mentioned later) that light up when a predetermined error occurs are provided. .. Further, a small window portion 107 made of transparent resin is provided so as to be adjacent to the lower end portion of the annular illumination portion 102 so that a part of the inner frame 12 surface, the game board 30 surface, and the like can be visually recognized. Since the predetermined portion of the small window portion 107 is flat, a certificate stamp or the like attached to the lower right corner of the game board 30 can be suitably read by a machine from the flat portion of the small window portion 107. Further, there are illuminated lamps and LEDs for winning openings and the like in the game area, and such a light emitting unit also constitutes a part of the effect device 700.

Further, in a state where the second spacer 88 is substantially entirely fitted into the back surface opening 511, a harness take-out space 511S is formed between the second spacer 88 and the relay board mounting base 471. Two harness take-out passages 511P (width 13 mm, depth 7 mm) communicating with the harness take-out space 511S are formed on the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 at a predetermined interval (here, 68 mm). And, on the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501, a hook 84 that closes the harness take-out passage 511P in a side view is separated from the harness take-out passage 511P by a predetermined distance (gap, here, 5 mm). It has been extended. The shape of the hook 84 is L-shaped in a plan view, and a claw is formed at the tip of the hook.
The number, opening positions, sizes, arrangement intervals, etc. of such harness take-out passages 511P are appropriately set according to the number, size, and the like of the harnesses and connectors of the laid relay board 470.
Further, the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 is formed with a side opening 511A (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIGS. 28, 30 and 32) communicating with the back opening 511. The bulging portion 89 of the second spacer 88 described above can substantially occupy the side surface opening 511A and extend to the outside of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501.
Further, the harness take-out passage 511P is formed by cutting out the upper edge portion 502A of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 into a recess, and the bottom portion 89A of the bulge portion 89 is a recess of the harness take-out passage 511P. It is configured to close the upper surface opening of the above surface in a substantially close state in the side view.

As shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, a plurality of ribs 512 are formed inside the first spacer (intermediate member) 501 (on the back surface side of the game machine). The rib 512 not only has a function of reinforcing the first spacer (intermediate member) 501, but also has a function of preventing a space for installing an unauthorized substrate from being formed inside the first spacer (intermediate member) 501. It also plays. Further, the ribs 512 are partitioned so as not to come into contact with electrical parts or the like provided on the sphere collecting plate 460 side, and their heights are partially changed (the outer edge surfaces of the ribs are not at the same level). ).

The first spacer (intermediate member) 501 is made of a transparent resin (which may be translucent), whereby the presence or absence of fraudulent activity inside can be easily visually recognized from the outside, and therefore fraudulent activity can be detected. It can be prevented more effectively. Of course, the material may be molded from a translucent or opaque material instead of the transparent resin.

Further, to explain based on FIGS. 28 and 29 (front surface), FIG. 30 and FIG. 31 (back surface), as shown in FIGS. 30 and 31 (back surface), the first spacer (intermediate member) 501 may be attached to the first spacer (intermediate member) 501. A first spacer peripheral wall 502 is formed around the periphery thereof, and the first spacer peripheral wall 502 is formed to have a height lower than that of the rib 512 in many parts, but the level of the peripheral wall is constant. When fitted to the sphere collecting plate 460, if it is abutted against the sphere collecting plate peripheral wall 462 around the sphere collecting plate 460, the inside of the first spacer (intermediate member) 501 and the sphere are both provided. The back surface of the collecting plate 460 is covered and isolated.
The rectangular important notch 511 is formed substantially corresponding to the relay board mounting base 471 of the ball collecting plate 460, and the small notch 513 of the lower opening is the opening for the large winning opening of the ball collecting plate 460. It is formed substantially corresponding to 475.
In addition, the space partitioned from the rib 512 on the lateral side of the important missing portion 511 (one is the same compartment as the installation space of the holding portion 505 described later) is connected to the first spacer 501. The boss portions 501A and 501A for the purpose are respectively projected as fitting members, and the tip portions thereof are configured to be partially fitted into the tip portions of the screw fastening boss portions 472 and 472 of the ball collecting plate 460.

A shaft support portion 501B is provided to close the bearing grooves 504B and 504B to complete the bearing portion 504. It is configured so as to project from the lower surface of the shaft branch 501B. As a result, the bearing grooves 504B and 504B and the holding protrusions 501C and 501C (substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape) form a shaft support space for the rotating shafts 410 and 410 of the connecting pedestal member 430.
Then, in the shaft support portion 501B of the first spacer (intermediate member) 501, a pair of fitting holes 504A and 504A of the bearing portion 504 provided on one side of the ball collecting plate 460 are fitted. The protrusions 510 and 510 are projected. Further, the fitting ribs 512A abutting on the inner circumference of the peripheral wall 462 of the sphere collecting plate 460 are extended longer than the peripheral wall 502 at a plurality of positions inside the peripheral wall 502 of the first spacer 501. .. The fitting rib 512A serves as a guide when fitting the first spacer 501 to the ball collecting plate 460 (peripheral wall 462) and creates a fitting state.

The first spacer (intermediate member) 501 has a side portion, here, a side opposite to the bearing portion 504 that supports the rotating shafts 410 and 410 that open and close the first substrate case 201A. A holding portion 505 is provided.
As shown in FIGS. 28 to 31 and 39 to 47, the holding portion 505 includes an elastic engagement mechanism 506 in the resin molded main body 505A, and the elastic engagement mechanism 506 is a first spacer. The recess 507 formed on the upper surface of the (intermediate member) 501 is composed of a hook 508 that can move back and forth in a direction orthogonal to the recess direction, and a synthetic resin support member 509 that elastically displaces the position of the hook 508.

The relay board 470 is a board that relays the electrical connection between the main control board and a plurality of electric components, and in the case of this embodiment, it is arranged in a place where fraud is likely to occur or where fraud is difficult to be noticed. (1. It is arranged on the front side of the main control board so that it is shielded by the main control board in the back view. 2. It is arranged at a place where the wiring connected to the main control board passes. Especially fraudulent activity because it is placed between the main control board and a predetermined winning device arranged in the game area, or where the wiring connecting the main control board and the winning detection switch passes through). It can be said that it is an electrical component that is easy to carry out. Further, the electric components connected to the main control board via the relay board 470 entered the solenoid for opening and closing the door of the variable winning device 474, the solenoid for opening and closing the blade of the starting winning device 476, and the large winning opening. A switch that detects a game ball, etc. Among these, the switch that detects the game balls that have entered the large winning opening must not be detected even though the entry has been detected during the special game state in which a predetermined number of balls have been entered. There is a high possibility that it will be a target when cheating such as delaying the end of the special game state and acquiring more game balls than usual during the special game state, and open the wings for the solenoid that opens and closes the blades. When a fraudulent act such as forcibly opening the blades and allowing a large number of balls to enter the starting port to make it easier to draw a lottery and derive a special game state is performed even though it is not an opportunity to do so. There is a high possibility that it will be a target, and even though the solenoid that opens and closes the door is not in the special game state, the door is forcibly opened and many balls are entered into the big prize opening to acquire many game balls. There is a high possibility that they will be targeted when such fraudulent acts are committed, and it is conceivable that these electrical components will also be subject to fraudulent acts. Further, the switch for detecting the game ball that has entered the start port 33 is connected to the main control board without going through the relay board 470, but the lottery result is specially set to be the winning result by manipulating the detection timing. There is a high possibility that it will be a target when a fraudulent act such as forcibly generating a game state and acquiring many game balls is performed, and this harness is arranged between the main control board and the back surface of the game board. ing.

Here, the following configuration is shown in order to clarify one feature of the present invention.
That is, a game board (game board 30) in which a game area in which a game ball can flow down is formed on the front side is provided.
A board box (first board case 201A) in which a control board (control board 80) for controlling a predetermined game is housed, a connecting pedestal member (connecting pedestal member 430) for opening and closing the board box, and the board. A holding portion (holding portion 505) that holds the box in a closed state, a pedestal mounting portion (shaft support portion 501 as a bearing portion and a bearing groove 504B) to which the connecting pedestal member is mounted, and an electrical component mounting portion to which a predetermined electric component is mounted. A mounting means (ball collecting plate 460 and a first spacer 501) having (ball collecting plate 460) is provided on the back surface side of the game board, and is provided.
A peripheral wall (first spacer peripheral wall 502 and a ball collecting plate peripheral wall 462) extending in the front-rear direction of the game machine so as to surround the periphery of the predetermined electrical component at least in the closed state, and at least the closed state. In some cases, a partition portion (rib 512) that is arranged between the back surface of the game board and the board box and has a plurality of walls for partitioning a gap between the back surface of the game board and the board box. Are provided in at least one of the mounting means or the board box, respectively.
A gaming machine configured so that the electrical components are maintained in a covered state by holding the substrate box in the closed state by the holding portion.
The connecting pedestal member and the substrate box have a shape in which the attachment / detachment direction is restricted to a predetermined direction (direction orthogonal to the rotation direction of the axis of the connecting pedestal member), and the positions of the connecting pedestal member and the substrate box are positioned in the restricted state. By moving a predetermined amount, the board box is changed into a mounted state and a detached state, and in the mounted state, the board box is connected to the connecting pedestal member and the board box at positions facing each other without leaving a trace. A connecting pedestal sealing portion (435, 436) connected by a sealing member (breaking screw K) is provided so that the pedestal member cannot be moved in the detaching direction.
The holding portion is provided in a region that is in the covered state in the closed state, and the substrate box in a state of being attached to the connecting pedestal member is rotated from the open state to the closed state. Along with this, the board box is placed in the receiving and holding state, and in the holding state, the rotation of the board box in the opening state is restricted and the movement in the detaching state is permitted. It's a thing
By moving the substrate box in the disengagement direction by a specific amount shorter than the predetermined amount (the amount of movement from the state in which the hook 508 and the recess 205A are engaged until the engaging projection 205 abuts on the recess 507). It is characterized in that the holding state by the holding portion is released and the substrate box is configured to be rotatable in the direction in which the holding state is opened.

(Partially modified example of elastic engagement mechanism 506)
As the outline of the elastic engagement mechanism 506 is shown in FIGS. 48 and 49, the elastic engagement mechanism 506 is composed of a holding piece 508A urged by a spring 509A instead of the synthetic resin support member 509. May be good.
That is, the holding piece 508A is brought into contact with the slope of the conical engaging protrusion 205A projecting from the lower surface of the substrate box 201A by the deformation of the spring 509A rather than the elasticity of the synthetic resin material. Is backward-displaced, and then forward-restored to engage with the shaft portion 205B of the engaging protrusion 205A, and both cannot be pulled out due to the radial step between the shaft portion 205B and the engaging protrusion 205A. Can be configured to lock.
Of course, the disengagement of the engaged state is the same as in the above-described embodiment, and the slide of the substrate box 201A separates the 205B and the engaging projection 205A from the engaging projection 205A on the shaft portion, and the substrate box. This is done by rotating the 201A upward.
As described above, if the spring 509A is used as the elastic engagement mechanism 506, a stable and strong urging force can be obtained, and a stable engagement and holding state can be obtained without deterioration of the material.

In recent years, not only fraudulent acts against the main board case 53 as described in the above document (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-033603), but also processing of electric parts such as a relay board attached to a ball collecting plate or fraudulent board. Since it is assumed that fraudulent acts such as changing the wiring connection by installing the above will be performed, it is preferable to take measures against these as well. Therefore, the electric component is covered with another member (for example, a spacer in which a plurality of ribs are formed in a grid pattern) so that the separate member (for example, the spacer) cannot be removed. It is conceivable to unitize another component (for example, a spacer). However, in this case, it may be difficult to attach the ball collecting plate (screw fastening, etc.) to the game board, which could be easily performed by a single unit, due to the unitization. In this case, the arrangement of the ball collecting plate that should guide the game ball that has entered the winning opening or the like on the back surface of the game board is not stable, which may cause ball clogging or the like, which may affect the game.

Therefore, in the present invention, a ball collecting plate 460 is provided on the back surface of the game board 30, and the ball collecting plate 460 is a discharge area for discharging the game balls that have entered the winning opening on the back surface side of the game board 30 to the lower side of the game machine. (Discharge gutter) is formed, a connecting pedestal member 430 for supporting the board box 201A is rotatably provided, a board box 201A is attached to the connecting pedestal member 430, and the board box 201A is used for games. The gaming machine is openable and closable depending on whether it is covered on the back surface of the board 30 or exposed, and has the following configurations.
That is, a first spacer 501 is interposed between the ball collecting plate 460 and the substrate box 201A, and the first spacer 501 is screwed from the front side of the ball collecting plate 460 for engagement with both ends. The mounting portion 478 provided with the locking member 480 provided with the projecting pieces (480A, 480B) and engaging the projecting piece (480B) at one end of the locking member 480 is on the front side of the ball collecting plate 460. Two places (at least one place each) are provided near both ends of the ball collecting plate 460 and at a position covered by the first spacer 501 on the back surface side of the ball collecting plate 460, and the other end of the locking member 480. A fitting portion 481 for engaging the projecting piece (480A) is provided at a corresponding portion on the back surface of the game board 30, and the ball collecting plate 460 is provided with the locking member 480 together with the first spacer 501 for the game board. It is configured to be fitted and fixed to 30.

Therefore, by having the above configuration, the first spacer 501 is screwed from the front side of the ball collecting plate 460, so that the first spacer 501 and the ball collecting plate 460 are integrated into a unit. Therefore, it is possible to unify the attachment work to the game board together with the electric parts such as the relay board laid on the ball collecting plate 460.
At this time, since the screwing is performed from the front side of the ball collecting plate 460, once the unitized ball collecting plate 460 and the first spacer 501 are attached to the game board 30, the screwing is performed. It is sandwiched between the game board 30 and the ball collecting plate 460 and covered, so that there is no risk of being removed from the outside, which prevents fraud.
Then, the unitized ball collecting plate 460 and the first spacer 501 are attached to the game board 30 by the locking member 480 in a fitting and fixing method for both the ball collecting plate 460 and the game board 30. Since it can be attached with, the assembly work can be easily performed.

Further, in the game machine having the conventional configuration, by making the board box openable and closable with respect to the back surface of the game board, various electric parts laid on the back surface of the game board and the ball collecting plate provided therein are covered. It prevents fraud by making it impossible to easily attack electrical parts from the outside.
However, in a game machine having such a configuration, a space is formed between the game board (ball collecting board) and the board box, and the existence of such a space is due to the existence of the game board (ball collecting board). ) Was to facilitate fraud on the electrical parts on the back side.
In order to solve this problem, a spacer (intermediate member) is interposed between the game board (ball collecting plate) and the board box to fill the space.

By the way, a signal from the control board is transmitted to a predetermined electric component, for example, a large winning device or a variable winning device, or a winning detection of a predetermined electric component, for example, a starting port is provided on the ball collecting plate provided on the back surface of the game board. A relay board for transmitting a signal from the sensor to the control board is provided. Specifically, a relay board mounting base may be provided and the relay board may be laid there.
This relay board is connected by a harness to which a connector is connected so that the connection between the board box and the electric component can be disconnected so that the board box can be opened and closed as needed for periodic inspection of the board box. ..

Therefore, in order to connect such a harness to the connector on the board box side, it is not possible to simply cover the entire ball assembly plate with the spacer, and therefore, the spacer is a relay board. Specifically, the shape of the spacer is configured to have a peculiar shape that bypasses the portion of the relay substrate.
Even if the substrate box is covered by opening and closing the spacer having such a shape, there is a space between the substrate box and the spacer having a shape bypassing the relay board, and the relay board is formed from here. There is an extremely high risk of fraudulent activity.

Therefore, in the present invention, the ball collecting plate 460 is provided on the back surface of the game board 30, and the ball collecting plate 460 is a discharge area for discharging the game balls that have entered the winning opening on the back surface side of the game board 30 to the lower side of the game machine. (Discharge gutter) is formed, a connecting pedestal member 430 for supporting the board box 201A is rotatably provided, a board box 201A is attached to the connecting pedestal member 430, and the board box 201A is used for games. The gaming machine is openable and closable in a covered state covering the back surface of the board 30 and an exposed exposed state, and has the following configurations.

That is, the sphere is provided with a relay board mounting base 471 having a relay board 470 as one electric component on the sphere assembly plate 460, and covers other electric components provided on the sphere assembly plate 460. A first spacer 501 is interposed between the collecting plate 460 and the substrate box 201A, and at least the upper surface (upper surface of the relay board 470) of the relay board mounting base 471 is placed on the back wall of the first spacer 501. A back surface opening 511 (important missing portion) is provided so as not to cover the board box 201A, and in a state where the board box 201A covers the back surface of the game board 30, the back surface opening 511 is substantially entirely covered. A second spacer 88 (which can also be referred to as a relay board covering body) is provided so as to close the back surface opening 511 and cover the relay board 470.
As electrical parts related to the relay board 470 laid on the ball collecting plate 460, a game in which a winning device (including a starting winning device and a variable winning device) and a winning opening (including a starting opening and a large winning opening) are used. Switches that detect balls, blades that open and close the winning opening, drive devices that drive doors, etc.) are targeted.

With this configuration, the space for the relay board 470 of the harness 501 with respect to the relay board 470 of the ball collecting plate 460 is substantially realized from the outside by the second spacer 88 in the closed body with respect to the back surface of the game board of the board box 201A. It is possible to prevent fraudulent use of the relay board 470.
That is, when the first spacer 501 is in a state of covering the sphere collecting plate 460, the first spacer 501 uses the relay board mounting base 471 (relay board 470 as one electric component) as before. A shape that does not cover at least the upper surface of the board box (provided), here, a window-shaped structure that allows the harness to be attached and detached, while providing a space on the front surface of the board box 201A that allows the harness to be attached and detached. By occupying it with the second spacer 88 so that it can be isolated from the outside, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized attack from the outside on the relay board 470 in a state where the board box 201A covers the back surface of the game machine. You can. In other words, if the board box 201A is rotated and separated from the back surface of the game machine, maintenance and inspection of the relay board 470 becomes possible, and for other electrical parts, maintenance and inspection can be performed unless the ball collecting plate 460 is removed. It is designed not to be.

The second spacer 88 is configured such that a plurality of partition walls for partitioning in a predetermined area are projected from the front surface of the substrate box, and the partition of the partition wall has a space.
As described above, the second spacer is projected from the front surface of the substrate box, and is divided by a plurality of partition walls (that is, the horizontal wall portion 88A and the vertical wall portion 88B) that partition the second spacer in a predetermined area. The connectors and harnesses connected to the relay board 470 covered by the second spacer are configured to have a space in the partition wall (horizontal wall portion 88A and vertical wall portion 88B). It is possible to secure the space occupied by the above, reduce the weight of the structure of the second spacer 88, and reduce the weight of the molding material.

Further, in the partition wall (horizontal wall portion 88A and vertical wall portion 88B) of the second spacer 88, a part corresponding to the relay board mounting base 471 is configured to have a small protruding length, and the relay board is configured. A large harness take-out space is formed between the mounting base 471 and the partition wall (horizontal wall portion 88A and vertical wall portion 88B).
In this way, by reducing the protruding length of a part of the partition wall (horizontal wall portion 88A and vertical wall portion 88B) of the second spacer 88, the harness take-out space can be locally increased to form a large connector. The relay board 470 can be comfortably covered without the harness being pressed.

Further, on the plurality of partition walls (horizontal wall portion 88A and vertical wall portion 88B) of the bulging portion 89 of the second spacer 88, the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 forming the side opening 511A. A plurality of lateral wall portions 88A provided at predetermined intervals so as to cross the upper edge portion orthogonally are included, and the outer end portion of each of the lateral wall portions 88A is the outer vertical wall portion 88B of the partition wall. Are connected by.
As described above, the bulging portion 89 is also composed of a partition wall (horizontal wall portion 88A and a vertical wall portion 88B) in order to reduce the weight and weight, and the partition wall (horizontal wall portion 88A and the vertical wall portion 88B). By including a plurality of lateral wall portions 88A orthogonally crossing the upper edge portion of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501, the side surface opening 511A can be divided into a plurality of portions in the longitudinal direction thereof. As a result, in the side opening 511A which remains long, it is possible to freely operate the fraudulent tool in the longitudinal direction, but by subdividing it, the flexibility of such fraudulent operation is limited and it is difficult to perform fraud. Can be done.
Further, since the outer end portions of the plurality of lateral wall portions 88A are connected by the vertical wall portions 88B of the partition wall, when an attempt is made to make an unauthorized attack on the side surface opening 511A from the lateral outer side. , The vertical wall portion 88B hinders the invasion of wires, jigs, etc., and cannot easily invade.

Further, the partition wall of the second spacer 88 (horizontal wall portion 88A and vertical wall portion 88B) is close to the upper edge portion of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 forming the side surface opening 511A. A vertical wall portion 88B extending along the upper edge portion of the side wall 502 is included.
As described above, the second spacer 88 is composed of a partition wall composed of a plurality of horizontal wall portions 88A and vertical wall portions 88B in order to reduce the weight and weight, and the vertical wall portion 88B is opened to the side surface. By making the configuration so as to be close to the upper edge portion of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 forming the portion 511A and to extend along the upper edge portion of the side wall 502, the wire or the illegal jig should be outside. Even when the vertical wall portion 88B is submerged and penetrates and exceeds the upper edge portion of the side wall 502 of the second spacer 88, the vertical wall portion 88B extending along the upper edge portion of the side wall 502 causes the vertical wall portion 88B. It is easy to prevent intrusion into the inside.

(Action)
With the above configuration, the first spacer 501 between the sphere collecting plate 460 and the substrate box 201A fills the space between the two, making it difficult for unauthorized intervention between the two. By providing the holding portion 505 in the portion of the first spacer 501 that is covered by the substrate box 201A when the substrate box 201A is in the coated state, the coated state of the substrate box 201A can be easily maintained. It cannot be released, and thereby it is possible to rotate the substrate box 201A to open the covering state and prevent the electric components on the back surface side of the game board 30 from being tampered with.
Further, if necessary, the substrate box 201A is slidably displaced with respect to the connecting pedestal member 430 by releasing the sealing of the connecting pedestal sealing portion 430A between the substrate box 201A and the connecting pedestal member 430. The holding state of the holding portion 505 is released to release the covering state of the substrate box 201A, and at the same time, the substrate box 201A can be removed from the connecting pedestal member 430.

Further, when the substrate box 201A and the connecting pedestal member 430 are slidably engaged with each other and the connecting pedestal sealing portion 430A is released from the sealing and slid within the predetermined range, the holding portion 505 The board box 201A and the connecting pedestal member 430 are released by releasing the sealing of the connecting pedestal sealing portion 430A by releasing the holding state and allowing the substrate box 201A to shift to the exposed state together with the connecting pedestal member 430. Since the holding state (covered state of the substrate box 201A) of the holding portion 505 can be released by using the sliding operation of releasing the connection with the above, a series of unsealing operations can be used to release the covering state of the substrate box 201A. Can be used for both purposes.

Further, by making the removal direction of the substrate box 201A with respect to the connecting pedestal member 430 and the sliding direction (displacement direction) of the substrate box 201A for releasing the holding state of the holding portion 505 the same direction, the holding portion 505 The operation of both releasing the sealing of the connecting pedestal sealing portion 430A and releasing the holding state of the holding portion 505 without requiring a configuration for obtaining the operation of the substrate box 201A in a specific direction for releasing the holding of the board box 201A. Can be combined into one.

Further, the holding portion 505 is provided with an elastic engaging mechanism 506, and the engaging projection 205 provided on the back surface of the substrate box 201A is elastic as the substrate box 201A rotates to a covered state. Since the engaging projection 205 is configured to be engaged so as not to be disengaged by engaging with the displacement, the holding state of the holding portion 505 cannot be disengaged only by the rotational operation of the substrate box 201A. It is something that can be obtained.

Further, since the holding portion 505 is provided on the first spacer 501 at a position opposite to the rotatable connecting portion of the connecting pedestal member 430, the substrate box 201A is connected on one side. The pedestal member 430 and the holding portion 505 on the other side are fixed at both sides, and can be fixed in a stable state.

Further, the first spacer 501 fills the space between the sphere collecting plate 460 and the substrate box 201A, and further corresponds to the peripheral wall 502 thereof and the peripheral wall 462 of the sphere collecting plate 460. By making them butt-contact, the space between the two can be partitioned by their peripheral walls and isolated from the outside, whereby the sphere assembly plate 460 and the substrate box 201A can be further separated. It is possible to ensure the occupation of the space between the two and prevent unauthorized attacks on the inside.

Further, the fitting rib 512A abutting on the inner circumference of the peripheral wall 462 of the ball collecting plate 460 is extended inside the peripheral wall 502 of the first spacer 501 longer than the peripheral wall 502. When the first spacer 501 is aligned with the ball collecting plate 460, the fitting rib 512A is positioned while acting as a guide, and the butt state of the two can be smoothly obtained, and the fitting rib 512A is provided. It also contributes to increasing the strength of the peripheral wall 502 of the first spacer 501.

Further, by providing at least two pairs of fitting members and fitting members on the ball collecting plate 460 and the first spacer 501, the positioning of the fitting members and the fitting members can be easily performed, and the fitting members and the fitting members can be easily aligned. Since both are screwed from the back side of the ball collecting plate 460, when the ball collecting plate 460 is once attached to the back surface of the game board 30 after screwing the first spacer 501, the first spacer 501 is screwed. The spacer 501 cannot be screwed from the outside, and can contribute to fraud prevention by removing the first spacer 501.

Other major actions are described.
The gaming machine according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, and while adopting the conventional method of attaching and detaching the harness to and from the relay board 470 of the ball collecting plate 460, the first spacer 501 that covers the ball collecting plate 460. In the closed body of the board box 201A with respect to the back surface of the game board, the space for the relay board is substantially blocked from the outside by the second spacer 88, and fraud on the relay board 470 can be prevented.
That is, when the first spacer 501 is in a state of covering the sphere collecting plate 460, the first spacer 501 is configured so as not to cover the relay board mounting base 471 (relay board 470) as before. The space that allows the harness to be attached and detached can be separated from the outside by occupying the space that allows the harness to be attached and detached by the second spacer 88 provided on the front surface of the board box 201A. Therefore, in a state where the board box 201A covers the back surface of the game board, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized attack from the outside on the relay board 470.

Then, while the harness take-out space 511S exists as before and the harness can be easily attached and detached as needed, the upper part of this space 511S is occupied by the second spacer 88, but the first spacer 501 The harness take-out passage 511P formed on the side wall 502 communicates with the outside, and the harness take-out passage 511P is blocked by the hook 84 in a side view, so that the harness take-out space 511S is substantially upward and lateral. It is possible to obtain a state in which the relay board is blocked and sealed from the outside, and it is possible to prevent an unauthorized attack on the relay board 470 through the harness take-out space 511S.

Further, at the place where the harness take-out passage 511P is formed, the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 is formed on the second spacer 88 instead of having a simple structure in which the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 directly contacts the bottom surface of the substrate box 201A. By providing a bulging portion 89 extending to the outside of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 by substantially occupying the side opening 511A, the harness of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 is taken out. The passage 511P is located on the back side of the bulging portion 89, and even if an attempt is made to attack the harness taking-out passage 511P from the outside in a side view, the bulging portion 89 becomes an obstacle and attacks very much. If the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 has a simple structure that directly contacts the bottom surface of the substrate box 201A (inner case 85), it is inside through the harness take-out passage 511P of the side wall 502. Where it is easy to attack the relay board 470 and fraud is likely to occur, such a peculiar structure makes it possible to more reliably prevent fraud.

Further, although the harness take-out passage 511P has a simple structure formed by cutting out the upper edge portion 502A of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 in a recess, the bottom portion 89A of the bulging portion 89 is formed. By closing the upper surface opening of the recess of the harness take-out passage 511P in a substantially close state in the side view, even if an attack is attempted with a wire, a jig, etc. from the side surface, the bottom portion 89A of the bulging portion 89 prevents the attack. It is difficult to attack easily.

Further, the second spacer 88, which protrudes from the front surface of the substrate box, is composed of a plurality of partition walls for partitioning in a predetermined area, and has a space in the partition of the partition wall. As a result, the space occupied by the connectors and harnesses connected to the relay board 470 covered by the second spacer 88 can be secured, the structure of the second spacer 88 is reduced in weight, and the molding material is used. It is possible to reduce the weight of.

Further, the partition wall of the second spacer 88 is configured such that a part corresponding to the relay board mounting base 471 has a small protruding length, and is between the relay board mounting base 471 and the partition wall. Since the harness take-out space 511S of the above is formed to be large, the harness take-out space 511S can be locally made large, and the relay board 470 can be comfortably covered with the large connector and its harness without being pressed.

Further, the plurality of partition walls of the bulging portion 89 of the second spacer 88 are orthogonally crossed the upper edge portion 502A of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 forming the side surface opening 511A. Includes a plurality of lateral wall portions 88A provided at predetermined intervals, and the outer end portions of the lateral wall portions 88A are connected by the outer vertical wall portion 88B of the partition wall, and thus bulge. The portion 89 is also composed of a partition wall for weight reduction and weight reduction, and the partition wall includes a plurality of lateral wall portions 88A orthogonally crossing the upper edge portion 502A of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501. As a result, the side opening 511A can be divided into a plurality of parts in the longitudinal direction thereof, and as a result, in the side opening 511A which remains long, the fraudulent tool can be freely operated in the longitudinal direction. However, by subdividing it, it is possible to limit the flexibility of such illicit operations and make it difficult to perform illicit operations.
Further, since the outer end portions of the plurality of lateral wall portions 88A are connected by the vertical wall portions 88B of the partition wall, when an attempt is made to make an unauthorized attack on the side surface opening 511A from the lateral outer side. , The vertical wall portion 88B hinders the invasion of wires, jigs, etc., and cannot easily invade.

Further, the partition wall of the second spacer 88 is close to the upper edge portion 502A of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 forming the side surface opening 511A, and the upper edge portion 502A of the side wall 502. By including the vertical wall portion 88B extending along the above, the second spacer 88 is composed of a partition wall composed of a plurality of horizontal wall portions 88B and a vertical wall portion 88B in order to reduce the weight and weight. Nevertheless, the vertical wall portion 88B is close to the upper edge portion 502A of the side wall 502 of the first spacer 501 forming the side surface opening 511A, and extends along the upper edge portion 502A of the side wall 502. In the case where a wire or an illegal jig intrudes through the outer vertical wall portion 88B and exceeds the upper edge portion 502A of the side wall portion 502 of the first spacer 501, the side wall portion 502 The vertical wall portion 88B extending along the upper edge portion 502A can easily prevent the intrusion into the inside.

The present invention can be appropriately applied to various types of gaming machines as long as it is a gaming machine provided with a ball collecting plate and a substrate box, and its application range is wide.
