The stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 receive a stop operation that triggers each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, which are rotationally driven by the stepping motor M (see FIG. 4), to be stopped. The credited medals are stored (stored) in the control board 10 as a storage means.

In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the player inserts a medal into the medal insertion slot MI or the medal is credited in excess of the specified number of inserted medals, the single bet button BT is moved backward the same number of times as the specified number of inserted medals. By performing a single bet operation (insertion operation) that pushes toward and a max bet operation (insertion operation) that presses the max bet button MB downward, the specified number of medals are set to the inserted state, and the first reel The rotation control of the R1 to the third reel R3 is set to a ready state in which the rotation control can be started. Then, when the player executes a start operation (tilt operation) for tilting the start lever SL from the initial position with respect to the start lever SL, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are driven by the stepping motor M on the control board 10. Stop buttons B1 to stop buttons on the condition that the rotation is started and an internal lottery using random numbers is performed, and the rotation speeds of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 increase to a predetermined speed and become a steady rotation. The pressing operation of B3 is permitted, that is, the stop operation by the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 is enabled.

The slot machine 1 of the present embodiment sets a standby time (about 4.1 seconds) called a wait (or wait time) when the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are started to rotate. It is configured as follows. Then, when the start operation is performed again within the period from the setting of the standby time to the elapse of the standby time, the slot machine 1 starts rotating the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 after the standby time elapses. It is configured to let you.

After that, when the player presses the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 backward at an arbitrary timing (hereinafter, referred to as "pressing timing"), the stop button B1 to the stop button B3 are built in. The stop switch 35 (see FIG. 8) as the stop signal output means is turned on, and the reel stop signal output to the control board 10 is changed from the OFF state to the ON state.

Further, when the player releases the stop buttons B1 to B3 which are in the pressed state at an arbitrary timing, the stop switches corresponding to the stop buttons B1 to the stop button B3 each perform an OFF operation, and the reels output to the control board 10 are performed. The stop signal is changed from the ON state to the OFF state. Then, the control board 10 responds to the result of the internal lottery based on the change from the OFF state to the ON state of the reel stop signal whose signal state changes according to the pressing timing and the release timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. The first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped at the stop position.

Further, a medal payout exit MO and a medal tray MP are provided on the lower plate front 51 at the bottom of the front lower door DD, and the number of medals according to the result of the game is transferred from the medal payout exit MO to the medal tray MP. It is supposed to be paid out. Further, when the clearing button BS is pressed backward while the credited medal is stored in the control board 10, the medal clearing switch built in the clearing button BS is pushed along with the pressing of the clearing button BS. (Not shown) performs an ON operation and changes the medal clearing signal output to the control board 10 from the OFF state to the ON state. The control board 10 has the hopper unit 320 only when the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are not rotating and the medal is not bet as the medal clearing signal changes from the OFF state to the ON state. A clearing process is executed to pay out the number of medals corresponding to the number of credits (the number of medals credited), and the medals are paid out from the medal payment exit MO to the medal tray MP.

On the left and right of the medal payout exit MO on the front 51 of the lower plate, there are stamps (certificates certifying the conformity of tests by public institutions, proofs of licensing of patents, etc., individual information of each game machine (model information and manufacturing information). ) Is recorded with a code, a number, or the like, and a certificate stamp arranging portion 52L, 52R for arranging the name plate, etc.) is arranged, respectively. The certificate stamp arranging portions 52L and 52R can be composed of, for example, a recess for accommodating the certificate stamps and a transparent cover for covering the recess. Alternatively, the certificate stamp arranging portions 52L and 52R may be simply flat portions for attaching or adhering certificate stamps (certificate stamps, name plates, etc.). The above-mentioned acoustic devices 390 and 390 are arranged behind the lower plate front surface 51 and on the left and right outer sides of the certificate stamp arrangement portions 52L and 52R, and the acoustic devices are arranged on the lower plate front surface 51 in front of the acoustic devices 390 and 390. The openings 53, 53 including a large number of openings for outputting the sound from the 390, 390 forward are arranged.

The lower plate front surface 51 is formed so as to be parallel to the mating surface DDa facing the inclined surface S1 of the front lower door DD, which will be described later, and the front end edge MOa of the opening of the medal payout outlet MO is also parallel to the mating surface DDa. It is formed so as to be. Further, the openings 53 and 53 are formed so as to be orthogonal to the mating surface DDa. This makes it possible to simplify the shape of the front lower door DD and reduce the production cost. The opening of the opening may have a shape that can be die-cut in a direction orthogonal to the mating surface DDa in injection molding. For example, a draft of about 0 to 10 ° may be formed on the inner surface. The draft of the holes does not have to be constant in one hole. Further, the flat surface portion to which the certificate stamps of the certificate stamp arrangement portions 52L and 52R are attached is formed so as to be parallel to the mating surface DDa. That is, the certificate stamps arranged in the certificate stamps arrangement portions 52L and 52R are inclined so that the lower part is in front of the upper part. As a result, when a worker, a player, or the like visually confirms the information on the certificate stamps, the certificate stamps can be easily visually recognized from above the certificate stamp arrangement units 52L and 52R, and the workability in the certificate stamp confirmation work is improved. I am trying to.

[Structure related to opening and closing the front upper door and front lower door]
Next, the configuration related to the opening and closing of the front door FD will be described. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the front door FD is supported by the housing BX via a hinge HN (see FIG. 4) provided on the left side of each of the front upper door UD and the front lower door DD. The right side of the housing BX can be opened and closed. The front upper door UD has an upper locking unit (not shown), and the front lower door DD has a lower locking unit DL.

The upper locking unit UL is tiltably supported with respect to the upper locking base ULa and the upper locking base ULa attached to the upper door base UB, and is provided on the upper engaged portion BXc (see FIG. 4) provided in the housing BX. The upper engaging portion ULb that can move between the engaging position and the non-engaging position, the engaging operating portion ULc that operates the movement of the upper engaging portion, and the upper engaging portion and the engaging operating portion ULc are connected. It has an upper connection (not shown). The front upper door UD is locked in a closed state by engaging the upper engaging portion ULb of the upper locking unit with the upper engaged portion BXc. The lower locking unit DL is provided on the right side of the front lower door DD. The lower locking unit DL is tiltably supported with respect to the lower locking base DLa and the lower locking base DLa attached to the lower door base DB, and is provided on the lower engaged portion BXd (see FIG. 4) provided in the housing BX. The lower engaging portion DLb that can be moved to the engaged position and the non-engaging position, the cylinder lock CY that operates the movement of the lower engaging portion by key operation, and the lower engaging portion DLb and the cylinder lock CY are connected. It has a lower connection DLd. The front lower door DD is locked in a closed state by engaging the lower engaging portion DLb of the lower locking unit DL with the lower engaged portion BXd. The front door FD is in a state in which the opening BXa is closed by locking the front upper door UD and the front lower door DD.

The front upper door UD has a mating surface UDa facing the inclined surface S1 with the front door FD closing the opening BXa, and the front lower door DD is inclined with the front door FD closing the opening BXa. It has a mating surface DDa facing the surface S1. Further, the front upper door UD has a lower end front UDb (see FIG. 5) arranged at the lower end of the front upper door UD and formed so as to face forward. The front lower door DD is arranged at the upper end of the front lower door DD and is formed so as to face rearward, and has an upper end rear surface DDb (see FIG. 5) that faces the lower end front UDb and can abut on the lower end front UDb. doing.

The front upper door UD is restricted from moving in the opening direction with respect to the front lower door DD when the upper end rear surface DDb abuts on the lower end front surface UDb. Therefore, the front upper door UD is opened in a state where the lower engaging portion of the lower locking unit DL of the front lower door DD is not engaged with the lower engaged portion BXd (the front lower door DD is not locked and is opened. It is possible to open and close it. Further, the front lower door DD is in a state in which the upper engaging portion of the upper locking unit of the front upper door UD is engaged with the upper engaged portion BXc (a state in which the front upper door UD is closed and locked). Therefore, it can be opened and closed independently of the front lower door DD.

The engagement operation unit ULc of the upper locking unit UL is arranged so as to be operably exposed while the front lower door DD is open, and by being operated, the upper locking unit UL is arranged via the upper connecting portion. The upper engaging portion ULb is moved to a position where it does not engage with the upper engaged portion BXc. In the cylinder lock CY of the lower locking unit DL, the front end CYa (see FIG. 1) is exposed forward from the cylinder through hole DBc (see FIG. 1) formed in the front lower door DD, and the inserted key is inserted. By performing the key operation to rotate, the lower engaging portion DLb of the lower locking unit DL is moved to a position where it does not engage with the lower engaged portion BXd via the lower connecting portion DLd.

Further, the front upper door UD has an upper door lower end surface UDc which is a division surface in the division portion DV, which is arranged at the lower end portion of the front upper door UD and is formed so as to face downward. The front lower door DD is arranged in the upper end portion of the front lower door DD and is formed so as to face upward, and the front door FD faces the upper door lower end surface UDc in a state where the opening BXa is closed. It has a lower door upper end surface DDc which is a dividing surface. The upper door lower end surface UDc and the lower door upper end surface DDc are inclined so as to face forward with respect to the virtual plane S2 orthogonal to the mating surfaces UDa and DDa.

As a result, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the operator opens the front upper door UD with the front lower door DD open, the front upper door UD is lowered with the right end side of the front upper door UD lowered by its own weight. Is configured so that the lower end surface UDc of the upper door is guided along the upper end surface DDc of the lower door even when the door moves. Further, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the operator closes the front lower door DD with the front upper door UD closed, even if the operator closes the front lower door DD while lifting it, the upper door 1 is upper. The lower end surface UDc of the door is configured to be guided along the upper end surface DDc of the lower door.

With this configuration, the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is rearward of the upper end portion of the front lower door DD when the operator opens and closes the front upper door UD and the front lower door DD independently of each other. The corners are less likely to collide with the front corner of the lower end of the front upper door UD, and operability in opening and closing the front upper door UD and the front lower door DD is improved. Further, the rear corner of the upper end portion of the front lower door DD and the front corner of the lower end portion of the front upper door UD are prevented from colliding with each other and being damaged. Further, when the upper door lower end surface UDc and the lower door upper end surface UDc slide, the pressure at which the upper door lower end surface UDc and the lower door upper end surface DDc come into contact is reduced, and the upper door lower end surface UDc and the lower door upper surface UDc are reduced. Scratch due to sliding with the end face DDc is suppressed.

[Details of reel unit]
Next, the details of the reel unit 310 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the housing BX has left and right side plates BXe and BXf arranged sideways. The upper frame 11 and the middle frame 12 are vertically separated from each other between the side plates BXe and BXf.

The reel unit 310 is held by the reel base 21 screwed to the upper frame 11 and the middle frame 12 and the reel base 21, and is provided on each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 to rotate and drive each reel. It has a stepping motor M and first reel R1 to third reel R3 supported by a drive shaft of each stepping motor M. Further, the reel unit 310 is held by the reel base 21, and is provided on each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and has a plurality of LEDs that irradiate light from the inside to the front of each reel. It has a substrate 23 and a reflector 25 that guides the light from the reel backlight substrate 23 forward.

Each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 has a reel frame 22 pivotally supported by the stepping motor M, and a thin strip-shaped reel tape RT each having a plurality of symbols. The reel frame 22 is concentric with the rotation axis of the stepping motor and is bridged between a pair of annular rim portions 22a and a pair of rim portions 22a arranged apart from each other in the left-right direction. The connecting portion 22b that connects the rim portions 22a to each other at a plurality of locations, the hub portion 22c that is attached to the rotating shaft of the stepping motor M, and one rim portion 22a and the hub portion 22c are connected to generate the rotational force of the stepping motor. It has a spoke portion (not shown) that transmits from the hub portion 22c to the rim portion 22a, and is integrally formed of a synthetic resin. Each outer circumference of the pair of rim portions 22a is formed to have a predetermined width in the left-right direction, and is an end portion for contacting the reel tape RT and supporting the left and right ends of the reel tape RT in the radial direction. The support surface 22d is formed.

The connection portion 22b is continuous with the end support surface 22d of the pair of rim portions 22a, and an intermediate support surface 22e for supporting the reel tape RT in the radial direction is formed between the pair of rim portions 22a. .. A support surface 22f for supporting the reel tape RT in the radial direction is formed by the end support surface 22d and the intermediate support surface 22e.

The reel tape RT has a plurality of patterns printed on a base material made of synthetic resin, and is wound around the support surface 22f of the reel frame 22 so as to have a cylindrical shape. For example, an adhesive material is applied to the end support surface 22d. It is attached with and is held so as not to rotate relative to the reel frame 22. The reel tape RT is a specific symbol (second symbol) P1 having a higher discriminating power during rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 as compared with other symbols (first symbol) among a plurality of symbols. have. The specific symbol P1 is a symbol designed with the value "7", and has the largest dimensions in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction (reel rotation axis direction) of the reel tape RT among the plurality of symbols. Further, the specific symbol P1 has a first region P1a having a low visible light transmittance and a second region P1b (hatched portion in FIG. 4) having a higher visible light transmittance than the first region. .. Specifically, the first region P1a of the reel tape RT is printed with a paint having a low visible light transmittance, for example, a paint such as black, dark gray, or navy blue. Printing with a color paint having a low visible light transmittance in the first region may be applied to either the inside or the outside of each reel, and printing of another color may be performed on top of the printing. A metal film may be formed or the like. However, it is desirable that the first region is a color having low lightness, such as black, dark gray, dark blue, etc., when viewed from the outside of each reel (the side opposite to the axis of the reel, the side of the player). .. This makes it possible to reduce the reflected light from the first region and make the light from the reel backlight substrate transmitted through the second region more conspicuous.

The specific symbol P1 transmits through the second region P1b due to the fact that the specific symbol P1 is formed relatively large compared to other symbols and the difference in visible light transmittance between the first region P1a and the second region P1b. By making it easier for the player to see the light from the reel backlight substrate 23, it is easier for the player to identify the light during the rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 than other symbols.

The specific symbol may be formed to be relatively large compared to at least any symbol other than the specific symbol. For example, the specific symbol has dimensions in the longitudinal direction, dimensions in the left-right direction, and the dimensions of the reel tape RT. Any one of the areas may be formed to be the largest of the plurality of symbols, the dimension in the left-right direction may be formed to be the second largest of the plurality of symbols, and other than the value "7". It may be a symbol including a character string of (for example, "BAR" or the like), a symbol of a character, or the like.

The second region P1b is a pair in the radial view from the rotation center of the reel frame 22 (rotation center of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3) CL in a state where the reel tape RT is fixed to the reel frame 22. It is arranged at a position that does not overlap with the rim portion 22a and the connecting portion 22b. In other words, the second region P1b is arranged at a position where the reel tape RT is fixed to the reel frame 22 and does not overlap the support surface 22f in the radial direction from the rotation center CL of the reel frame 22. This prevents the light from the reel backlight substrate 23 toward the second region having high transmittance from being blocked by the reel frame 22, and makes it easier for the player to visually recognize the second region P1b.
