Conventionally, typical examples of gaming machines include pachinko machines, slot machines, and gaming machines that combine pachinko machines and slot machines. This type of gaming machine includes a substrate accommodating case that accommodates a control substrate that controls the game. This substrate accommodating case forms an accommodating space for accommodating a control substrate by closing at least two members such as a base member and a cover member. Further, the substrate accommodating case is provided with a sealing mechanism for sealing the case. The substrate accommodating case accommodating the control substrate is attached to a predetermined position of the game machine in a state of being sealed by the sealing mechanism. The control board of the substrate accommodating case attached at a predetermined position is connected to the control substrate of another substrate accommodating case attached at another predetermined position. Wiring work for electrically connecting each control board is performed, and the game machine is shipped.

The cover mounting mechanism 142 on the main board case 74 side engages with the claw-shaped portions 135a to 135e at positions corresponding to the claw-shaped portions 135a to 135e in order to regulate the slide movement of the claw-shaped portions 135a to 135e. The portions 146a to 146e are provided. Further, the cover mounting mechanism 142 includes slide allowable portions 146a to 146e that allow the claw-shaped portions 135a to 135e to slide in a direction opposite to the direction in which the tips of the claw-shaped portions 135a to 135e extend.

The connector caulking cover 130 is attached to the main board case 74 by sliding along the slide allowable portions 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-shaped portions 135a to 135e and the slide restricting portions 146a to 146e engage with each other. It is designed so that it does not come off from the main board case 74. The connector caulking cover 130 attached to the main board case 74 is in a state where it can be removed from the main board case 74 by sliding in the direction opposite to the sliding direction at the time of attachment.

Next, the mounting state of the rotating base 120 and the main board case 74 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14.

The connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150 with the main board case 74 attached to the rotating base 120 and the connector caulking cover 130 attached to the main board case 74, thereby causing the main board case. It is possible to restrict the sliding movement of the 74 and the rotation base 120 in the direction in which they are separated from each other.

Specifically, the connector caulking cover 130 is provided with a plurality of claw-shaped portions 135f, 135g on the tip side in the sliding direction as the cover mounting mechanism 131. The main board case 74 is provided with slide restricting portions 146f and 146g as cover mounting mechanisms 141 at positions facing the plurality of claw-shaped portions 135f and 135g. As shown in FIG. 5, the rotation base 120 has a slide communication portion 121a that communicates with the slide regulation portions 146f and 146g at a position facing the slide regulation portions 146f and 146g with the main board case 74 attached. It is equipped with 121b. The tips of the claw-shaped portions 135f and 135g that penetrate the slide restricting portions 146f and 146g are inserted into the slide communication portions 121a and 121b. In this state, the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, so that the slide movement in the direction of separating the main board case 74 and the rotation base 120 is restricted.

With this configuration, the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, so that not only the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are separated, but also the main board case 74 and the rotating base 120 are formed. Separation can also be regulated. As described above, the separation of the main board case 74 and the rotating 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, 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 the present specification, such a state is referred to as a locked state.

Next, the configuration for changing from the above-mentioned mounting state to the locked state will be described mainly with reference to FIG. In addition, FIG. 13 to FIG. 16 are also referred to as appropriate.

The connector caulking plate 160 includes a first engaging portion 161 and a second engaging portion 162 having different engaging members. The first engaging portion 161 is engaged with the first engaged portion 143 provided on the main board case 74. The second engaging portion 162 is engaged with the second engaged portion 133 provided on the connector caulking cover 130. In the locked state between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130, the first engaging portion 161 engages with the first engaged portion 143, and the second engaging portion 162 engages with the second engaged portion 133. Formed by engaging.

By engaging the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 with different members in this way to form a locked state, the engaging portion 161 is engaged. If an attempt is made to illegally release the connector, a trace of destruction remains on the main board case 74, and if an attempt is made to release the engagement at the second engaging portion 162 illegally, a trace of destruction remains on the connector caulking cover 130. Therefore, as far as the main board case 74 is viewed from the outside, it seems that the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160 form a locked state, but in reality, the main board case 74 also forms a locked state. Therefore, when the locked state is released, a trace of destruction for the release can be left over a plurality of members other than 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. Further, in accordance with this, the shapes of the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133 are also different from each other.

One side of the first engaging portion 161 extending along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 is bent outward in the middle, and the side as a whole has a dogleg shape or a dogleg shape. It is composed of bent parts. The first engaging portion 161 is formed so that the bent portion engages with the first engaged portion 143. The first engaged portion 143 is composed of a portion protruding from the wall portion forming the slide allowable portion 146b of the main substrate case 74 into the plate insertion space 142. The first engaged portion 143 is formed so that the protruding portion engages with the first engaging portion 161.

In the second engaging portion 162, the other side extending along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160 is folded back in the middle and extended, and the side as a whole has a “re” -shaped portion. It is provided at the tip of. The second engaging portion 162 is formed so that the tip of the “re” -shaped portion engages with the second engaged portion 133. The second engaged portion 133 is composed of a portion protruding from the inside of the wall portion (cover outer wall portion 130e2 described later) constituting the plate insertion space 132 of the connector caulking cover 130 into the plate insertion space 132. The second engaged portion 133 is formed so that the protruding portion engages with the second engaging portion 162.

The portion of the first engaging portion 161 bent in a dogleg shape or a dogleg shape is caught in the portion protruding into the plate insertion space 142 of the first engaged portion 143, and the second engaging portion is engaged. Since the tip of the "re" -shaped portion of the portion 162 is caught in the portion protruding into the plate insertion space 132 of the second engaged portion 133, the connector caulking plate 160 can be easily pulled out from the plate insertion space 150. I can't.

By making the shapes of the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 different in this way, the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaging portion 161 are engaged in the locked state between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130. Unless a method different from the method used for illegally disengaging the engaged portion 143 is adopted, the engagement between the second engaged 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 fraudulent activity.

Further, the difference in shape between the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 described above can be expressed as a difference in the arrangement of the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162. That is, the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 are provided at positions asymmetrical with respect to the center line when the center line is drawn along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160. In FIG. 9, the insertion direction and the center line are indicated by the arrows of the alternate long and short dash line.

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

The second engaging portion 162 is provided on the left side of the center line in the insertion direction and slightly behind the center of the other side extending along the insertion direction. In other words, the second engaging portion 162 is provided at a position separated from the uncovered 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 on the rear side of the second engaged portion 162 in the insertion direction, and is a space for accommodating the main substrate case 74 from the non-covered surface 71c of the second engaged portion 162. It is provided at a position away from the outside of.

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

Further, the difference in shape between the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 described above can also 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 that of the first engaging portion 161.

The elastic structure of the first engaging 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 composed of. That is, in the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161, this edge portion is elastically deformed, but since both ends of this edge portion are fixed to the connector caulking plate 160, it is elastically deformed to the extent that a person lightly presses it. It has a difficult elastic structure.

The elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 is made of the same material as 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 and rearward. It is composed of folded parts that look like they are stretched. This folded-back portion has an elastic structure that is easily elastically deformed so that it is elastically deformed when a person presses it lightly. That is, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 is first engaged in at least the force at which the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 begins to be elastically deformed against the elastic force of the second engaging portion 162. It can be said that the elastic structure is hard to be elastically deformed against the elastic force of the joint portion 161.

By making the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 different from the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 in this way, the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 becomes the elastic force of the second engaging portion 162. With the force at the time of starting elastic deformation against it, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 can be made difficult to be deformed against the elastic force. As a result, even if the second engaging portion 162 is illegally elastically deformed when the locked state is to be released illegally, the engagement at the second engaging portion 162 can be released. With a force of the same magnitude, the first engaging portion 161 is elastically deformed, making it difficult to disengage the first engaging portion 161. Therefore, it becomes difficult to perform fraudulent acts such as pulling out the connector caulking plate 160 from the plate insertion space 150 by simultaneously disengaging the engagement at the first engaging portion 161 and the engagement at the second engaging portion 162. , The main board case 74 can be made resistant to fraudulent activity.

Further, in the connector caulking plate 160, the first engaging portion 161 engages with the first engaged portion 143 before the second engaging portion 162 engages with the second engaged portion 133. It is formed to do. That is, the connector caulking plate 160 is formed so that the first engaged portion 161 which is hard to be elastically deformed is engaged before the second engaging portion 162 which 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, and the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 resists the elastic force. It has a first pressing portion 144 that is elastically deformed and the elastically deformed elastic structure is restored to its original shape by the 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, and the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 resists the elastic force. It has a second pressing portion 134 that is elastically deformed and the elastically deformed elastic structure is restored to its original shape by the elastic force.

The first pressing portion 144 is formed so that the length of the connector caulking plate 160 along the insertion direction is shorter than that of the second pressing portion 134. Therefore, even if a state in which the first engaging portion 161 is pressed against the first pressing portion 144 and a state in which the second engaging portion 162 is pressed against the second pressing portion 134 occur at the same time, the first The engaging portion 161 is released from the pressed state before the second engaging portion 162, and is in a state of being engaged 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 of 161 is restored to its original shape to engage 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 second engaged portion 133 side is restored to the original shape to engage with the second engaged portion 133. To do. That is, while the elastic structure of the softer second engaging portion 162 is elastically deformed, it is better to push in the elastic structure of the harder first engaging portion 161 to restore it to its original shape. 2 Rather than pushing the elastic structure of the stiffer first engaging portion 161 after the engaging portion 162 is engaged with the second engaged portion 133 to restore the original shape, the first engaging portion 161 is moved. The work of engaging with the first engaged portion 143 is easy. Therefore, even when the elastic structures are different, it is possible to facilitate the work of forming the above-mentioned locked state.

Subsequently, the configuration required to release the locked state of the main board case 74, the connector caulking cover 130, and the connector caulking plate 160 will be described mainly with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12. In addition, FIG. 13 to FIG. 16 are also referred to as appropriate.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 15, the cover outer wall portion 130a of the connector caulking cover 130 is a cover outer wall portion 130d located on the upper side and a cover outer wall portion located on the right side in a state where the main board case 74 is in an upright posture. It is composed of 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 protrudes 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 insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160. Moreover, it is composed of 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. 11, the cover outer wall portion 130e extends from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge portion of the cover outer wall portion 130e, and a cover gap 130h having a predetermined width is formed. In other words, the cover gap 130h is formed in the cover outer wall portion 130e forming the insertion space 150. Let L1 be the length at which the cover gap 130h is formed. 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 a cover gap 130h interposed therebetween. The cover outer wall portion 130e straddles the upper end of the cover outer wall portion 130e1 and the lower end of the cover outer wall portion 130e2 and covers the cover gap 130h from the opening edge of the plate insertion space 150 to the approximately intermediate position of the above-mentioned length L1. Is provided with a first bulging portion 136 that bulges outward from the cover outer wall portion 130e. Let L2 be the length at which the first bulging portion 136 is formed.

As shown in FIG. 12, the cover outer wall portion 130d extends from a position slightly outside the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge portion of the cover outer wall portion 130d, and a cover gap 130i having a predetermined width is formed. There is. Let L3 be the length at which the cover gap 130i is formed. The cover outer wall portion 130e is divided into a cover outer wall portion 130d1 on the right side and a cover outer wall portion 130d2 on the left side with a cover gap 130i interposed therebetween. The cover outer wall portion 130d1 is a wall portion forming the plate insertion space 150. In other words, the cover gap 130i is formed at a position in contact with the cover outer wall portion 130d1 forming the plate insertion space 150. The cover outer wall portion 130d straddles the left end of the cover outer wall portion 130d1 and the right end of the cover outer wall portion 130d2 and covers the cover gap 130i from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to a position slightly shorter than the above-mentioned length L3. The cover outer wall portion 130d is provided with a second bulging portion 137 that bulges outward. Let L4 be the length at which the second bulging portion 137 is formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the second bulging portion 137 is bent along the cover portion 130c and the cover outer wall portion 130d so as to cover the front side and the upper side of the cover gap 130i.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 15, the cover inner wall portion 130j has a cover gap 130k extending from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge portion of the cover inner wall portion 130j and having a predetermined width on the insertion space forming wall 130b. It is formed. In other words, the cover gap 130k is formed in the cover inner wall portion 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 described above 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. 10, the cover portion 130c is provided with a cover gap 130l that connects the cover gap 130i and the cover gap 130k. The cover gaps 130i, 130k, and 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 form one gap. Further, the cover outer wall portion 130d1, 130e1, 130f, 130g, the cover portion 130c, and the cover outer wall portion 130d2, 130e2 are separated from each other by sandwiching the cover gaps 130h, 130i, 130j, 130k and the plate insertion space 150. , The first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 are connected to each other. 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.

With reference to FIG. 9, a second engaged portion 133 is provided on the inner surface side of the cover outer wall portion 130e2. Further, in the first bulging portion 136, a caulking protruding portion 165 projecting from the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the space formed by the bulging. The caulking protrusion 165 has substantially the same length as the length L2 of the first bulging portion 136.

As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the main board case 74 is provided with a region to which the connector 95a is connected at a position recessed on the case lower 72 side of the non-cover surface 71c of the case upper 71. The area to which the connector 95a is connected includes a case outer wall portion 147c located on the upper side of the connector 95a, a case outer wall portion 147d located on the right side of the connector 95a, a case outer wall portion 147e located on the lower side of the connector 95a, and a connector. It is composed of a case outer wall portion 147f located on the left side of 95a. The case outer wall portion 147d forms a plate insertion space 147 together with the case outer wall portion 147g located on the outer side thereof.

The case outer wall portion 147g is formed with a case projecting portion 147b that projects outward from the wall surface. 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. Let L5 be the length at which the case protrusion 147b is formed. As shown in FIG. 11, the case projecting portion 147b is arranged at a position vertically aligned with the first bulging portion 136 along the cover gap 130h described above. The case protrusion 147b protrudes in the same direction as the caulking protrusion 165 inserted into the first bulging portion 136. As shown in FIG. 12, the case projecting portion 147b is formed so that the amount of projecting outward is shorter than that of the first projecting portion 136 when the connector caulking cover 130 is viewed from the upper surface side. As shown in FIG. 10, the case protrusion 147b is located so as to be hidden behind the first bulging portion 136 and the caulking protrusion 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, the portion on the connector caulking cover 130 side such as the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 and the caulking protruding portion. Although it is possible to visually recognize the portion of the connector caulking plate 160 side such as 165, it is possible to make it difficult to visually recognize the case protrusion 147b on the main board case 74 side.

Next, the work of releasing the locked state will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 to 12.

When the first bulging portion 136 is cut along the cutting portion S1 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 10, and the second bulging portion 137 is cut along the cutting portion S2 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. , The joint between the cover outer wall portion 130d1, 130e1, 130f, 130g, the cover portion 130c, and the cover outer wall portion 130d2, 130e2 is cut. Therefore, the cover outer wall portions 130d2, 130e2 are separated from the cover outer wall portions 130d1, 130e1, 130f, 130g and the cover portion 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. Together with 130e2, it will be separated from the connector caulking cover 130. When the engagement at the second engaging 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 engaging portion 162 is released in this way, the engagement between the first engaging portion 161 of the connector caulking plate 160 and the first engaged portion 143 of the main board case 74 is released. Even without it, the locked state of the main board case 74, the connector caulking cover 130, and the connector caulking plate 160 is released.

Further, when the first bulging portion 136 is cut, not only the connector caulking cover 130 is cut, but also the caulking protruding portion 165 is cut, so that the connector caulking cover 130 is cut along the cutting portion S1 shown in FIG. There are traces of destruction left on both the connector caulking plate 160 and the connector caulking plate 160. 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 viewed from the front of the game machine, and the main board case 74 and the connector. It is destroyed along the cut portion S1 in order to release the state in which it cannot be attached to and detached from the caulking cover 130. Therefore, a single destruction leaves traces of destruction on both the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160. This makes it difficult to remove the connector caulking plate 160 intact even if the connector caulking cover 130 is destroyed. Further, since traces of destruction remain on both the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160, such fraudulent activity can be easily detected.

Further, when the first bulging portion 136 is cut, not only a part of the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160 is cut, but also the first bulging portion 136 and the first bulging portion 136 as shown in the cut portion S1 shown in FIG. Of the case protrusions 147b arranged at the arranged positions, a portion adjacent to the first bulge 136 (the case protrusion 147b of the main board case 74) may be destroyed. 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, it is possible to destroy only the first bulging portion 136 without destroying the case protruding portion 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 upright main board case 74 is viewed from the front. Therefore, when the first bulging portion 136 is cut, there is a possibility that the case protruding portion 147b is unknowingly destroyed as in the cutting portion S1 shown in FIG. As a result, when cutting the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 along the cutting portion S1 and the cutting portion S2 not only on the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160 but also on the main board case 74. It may be possible to leave traces of destruction that occur in. Therefore, the more traces of destruction remain, the easier it is to detect fraudulent activity. It is also possible to make it difficult to make an illegal board case by reusing the intact main board case 74 after the locked state is illegally released.

The main control board 73 described above corresponds to the control board of the present invention, and the main board case 74 corresponds to the storage case of the present invention. The above-mentioned mounting base 100, fixing member 110, rotating base 120, and base holder 125 correspond to the case mounting member of the present invention. The area to which the connector 95a is connected corresponds to a predetermined area of the present invention, and the connector caulking cover 130 corresponds to the cover member of the present invention.

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 controls the game. In the enabled state, the connector caulking cover 130 that covers the area to which the connector 95a of the main board case 74 is connected is attached in a detachable state by the cover attachment mechanism 141 and in a non-detachable state by the connector caulking plate 160. The slot machine 10 according to the present invention is shipped after the installation in. As a result, the attachment of the connector caulking cover 130 can be adjusted in the detachable state by the cover attachment mechanism 141, but the connector 95a of the main board case 74 is connected in the non-detachable state by the connector caulking plate 160. It becomes difficult to remove the connector caulking cover 130 from the area. That is, the slot machine 10 after shipment is in a state in which it is difficult to illegally access the area to which the connector 95a of the main board case 74 is connected. Therefore, it is possible to provide the slot machine 10 that can make it difficult to perform fraudulent acts performed through the area to which the connector 95a is connected with the main board case 74 normally attached.

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

Further, the non-detachable state of the connector caulking plate 160 is more difficult to see from the front of the slot machine 10 than the second engaging portion 162, and the slot machine is more difficult to see than the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaging portion 161. 10 It is formed of a second engaging portion 162 that is easily visible from the front. As a result, the main board case 74 can be made resistant to fraudulent activity. That is, when the fraudster tries to remove the connector caulking cover 130 which has been made in a non-detachable state by the second means, the first section is arranged at a position where it can be easily seen from the front of the slot machine 10. Attempts to release the mounting state at the joint portion 161. However, even if the mounting state of the first engaging portion 161 can be released, the connector caulking cover 130 cannot be removed from the main board case 74 unless the mounting state of the second engaging portion 162 is released. At this time, since the second engaging portion 162 is arranged at a position where it is difficult to see from the front of the slot machine 10, the fraudster is not easily aware of the existence of the second engaging portion 162. Therefore, it takes time to accomplish the fraudulent activity, so that the main board case 74 can be made resistant to the fraudulent activity.

"A state in which it is more difficult to see from the front of the slot machine 10 than the second engaging portion 162" and "a state in which it is easier to see from the front of the slot machine 10 than the first engaging portion 161" are the first engaging portions 161 and the second. The difference in the position where the engaging portion 162 is arranged, the difference in the shapes 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. It is a state caused by differences.

Further, the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 are separately arranged in the front-rear direction with reference to a predetermined flat surface (for example, the non-covering surface 71c) in the main substrate case 74. The first engaging portion 161 is behind a predetermined flat surface (for example, uncovered surface 71c) in the main board case 74, that is, is mainly behind a predetermined flat surface (for example, uncovered surface 71c) in the main board case 74. Although arranged at a position close to the control board 73, the second engaging portion 162 is located on the front side of the predetermined flat surface (for example, the uncovered surface 71c) of the main board case 74, that is, in 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 easily visible from the front of the slot machine 10. Therefore, the first engaging portion 161 can be made more difficult to see from the front of the slot machine 10 than the second engaging portion 162.

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

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

Further, if the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 attached in a detachable state 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 attached and detached. Since the locked state is set, the work of forming the locked state is simplified.

Further, by setting the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 in a detachable mounting state, the plate insertion space 142 provided in the main board case 74 and the plate insertion space 132 provided in the connector caulking cover 130 provide a connector. 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 attached and detached. As a result, in the locked state in which the connector caulking plate 160 is inserted into the plate insertion space 150, when the member forming the plate insertion space 150 is destroyed in order to illegally release the locked state, this plate insertion space Both the main board case 74 having a part of 150 and the connector caulking cover 130 are easily destroyed. If both the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are destroyed, even if the locked state is illegally released, a trace of destruction remains on both the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130. Therefore, the more traces of destruction remain, the easier it is to detect fraudulent activity. Further, it is possible to make it difficult to make an illegal main board case 74 by reusing the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 after the locked state is illegally released without any damage.

Further, when the above-mentioned locked state is formed, the partner with which the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 material of the connector caulking plate 160 are engaged with each other is the first engaged portion of the main board case 74, respectively. The portion 143 and the second engaged portion 133 of the connector caulking cover 130 are different from each other. As a result, in the above-mentioned locked state, if an attempt is made to illegally disengage the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143, a destruction trace remains on the main board case 74, and the second engaging portion If an attempt is made to illegally disengage the 162 from the second engaged portion 133, a trace of destruction remains on the connector caulking cover 130. Therefore, the more traces of destruction remain, the easier it is to detect fraudulent activity. Further, it is possible to make it difficult to make an illegal main board case 74 by reusing the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 after the above-mentioned locked state is illegally released without any damage.

Further, the shape of the engagement between the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 and the shape of the engagement between the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133 are different from each other. .. As a result, in the above-mentioned locked state, unless a method different from the method adopted when illegally disengaging the engagement between the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is adopted, the second engaging portion is engaged. It is possible to make it difficult to illegally disengage the engagement between the portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133. Therefore, it takes time to disengage the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 and to disengage the second engaging portion 162 and the second engaged portion 133. As a result, the main board case 74 can be made resistant to fraudulent activity.

Further, the first engaging portion 161 engages with the first engaged portion 143 at a position asymmetrical with respect to the center line drawn along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160, and the second engaging portion 143 is engaged. A locked state is formed by engaging the engaging portion 162 with the second engaged portion 133. As a result, in the locked state, the position where the work of illegally disengaging 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 143 are illegally disengaged, and the second engaged portion 162 and the second engaged portion The position at which the work of illegally disengaging the engagement with 133 is performed is different from the position along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160. Therefore, the engagement between the first engaging portion 161 and the first engaged portion 143 is disengaged and the second engaging portion 162 is disengaged by the amount that the work cannot be performed at the same position along the insertion direction of the connector caulking plate 160. By allowing time to disengage the engagement with the second engaged portion 133, the main board case 74 can be made resistant to fraudulent activity.

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, it is difficult for the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 to be deformed against the elastic force. As a result, even if the second engaging portion 162 can be elastically deformed against the elastic force when trying to release the locked state illegally, the first engaging portion 162 can be elastically deformed with the same magnitude of force. It is difficult to elastically deform the portion 161 against its elastic force. Therefore, it becomes difficult to perform an illegal act such as elastically deforming the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 at the same time to illegally release the locked state, so that the main board case 74 is made an illegal act. Can be strong.

Further, 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 the original. It engages with the first engaged portion 143 by restoring it to the shape of. Next, the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 elastically deformed by the second pressing portion 134 on the second engaged portion 133 side is restored to the original shape to engage with the second engaged portion 133. To do. That is, while the elastic structure of the softer second engaging portion 162 is elastically deformed, it is better to push in the elastic structure of the harder first engaging portion 161 to restore it to its original shape. 2 Rather than pushing the elastic structure of the stiffer first engaging portion 161 after the engaging portion 162 is engaged with the second engaged portion 133 to restore the original shape, the first engaging portion 161 is moved. The work of engaging with the first engaged portion 143 is easy. Therefore, even when the elastic structures are different, it is possible to facilitate the work of forming the above-mentioned locked state.

Further, 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, whereby the main board is inserted. Not only the separation of the case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130, but also the separation of the main board case 74 and the rotating base 120 is regulated. On the contrary, 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 rotation base 120 is released. As a result, the separation regulation and separation regulation between the main board case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 can be lifted, and the separation regulation and separation regulation between the main board case 74 and the rotation base 120 can be lifted by one operation. it can. Therefore, these work efficiencies can be improved.

Further, in order to release the locked state, the first bulging portion 136 provided on the plate insertion space forming wall 130b of the cover outer wall portion 130a and the second bulging portion 137 provided at different positions of the cover outer wall portion 130a. It is necessary to cut and separate a part of the plate insertion space forming wall (cover outer wall portion 130d2, 130e2) located between them 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 the connector caulking cover 130 is inserted into the first bulging space 136a formed by the bulging of the first bulging portion 136. By cutting the crimped protrusion 165 as well, a break mark 138 generated at the time of cutting remains on the connector caulking cover 130, and a break mark 166 generated at the time of cutting remains on the connector caulking plate 160. As a result, even if the connector caulking cover 130 is destroyed, it becomes difficult to perform fraudulent acts such as trying to take out the connector caulking plate 160 without damage, so that the main board case 74 can be made resistant to fraudulent acts.

Further, the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 provided at a position in contact with the plate insertion space forming wall (cover outer wall portion 130d) of the cover outer wall portion 130a or the plate insertion space forming wall (cover outer wall portion 130e2). When the cover gap 130h, 130i extends from the opening edge of the insertion space 150 to the edge portion of the cover outer wall portion 130a and has a predetermined width, the first bulging portion 136 and the second bulging portion 137 are formed. The plate insertion space forming wall (cover outer wall portion 130d2, 130e2) located between the two is separated from the cover outer wall portion 130a. As a result, 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 the caulking that protrudes into the space formed by the bulging of the first bulging portion 136. By cutting the protruding portion 165 as well, a trace of destruction that occurs during cutting remains on both the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160. As a result, even if the connector caulking cover 130 is destroyed, it becomes difficult to perform fraudulent acts such as trying to take out the connector caulking plate 160 without damage, so that the main board case 74 can be made resistant to fraudulent acts.

Further, when the first bulging portion 136 into which the caulking protrusion 165 is inserted is cut, not only a part of the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking plate 160 is cut, but also the first one along the cover gap 130h described above. At least a part of the case protrusion 147b, which is arranged at a position aligned with the bulge 136 and protrudes from the case outer wall portion 147g in the same direction as the caulking protrusion 165, is also destroyed. As a result, not only the connector caulking cover 130 and the connector caulking 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, the more traces of destruction remain, the easier it is to detect fraudulent activity. Further, it is possible to make it difficult to make an illegal substrate case in which the accommodating case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 are reused after the locked state is illegally released without any damage.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be another configuration that exhibits the same effect, and can be modified and implemented as follows, for example.

<1> In the above-described embodiment, the cover mounting mechanism 141 formed on the substrate case 74 and the connector caulking cover 130 is described as a configuration corresponding to the first mounting means of the present invention. The configuration corresponding to the mounting means may be an example in which either the substrate case 74 or 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 one-way screw corresponding to the second mounting means or a mounting member is fastened to the screw hole to form a detachable state. This is an example in which a non-detachable state is formed by crushing the screw head of a one-way screw. Such an example may have a configuration that exhibits the same effect even if it is not a one-way screw and a screw hole. The portion of the one-way screw that overlaps the screw head of the substrate case 74 corresponds to the first fractured portion of the present invention.

<2> In the above-described embodiment, the connector caulking plate 160 is described as a configuration corresponding to the second mounting means of the present invention, but as described above, the configuration corresponding to the second mounting means is the connector. An example other than the caulking plate 160 may be used.

<3> In the above-described embodiment, the connector caulking plate 160 provided with the first engaging portion 161 and the second engaging portion 162 has been described as an example of the configuration corresponding to the locking member of the present invention. The configuration corresponding to the member may be a locking member having a shape, arrangement, and elastic structure different from those of the connector caulking plate 160, as long as the configuration has the same effect.

<4> In the above-described embodiment, as a configuration corresponding to the cover mounting portion of the present invention, a main substrate case 74 including slide allowable portions 145a and 145b and slide restricting portions 146a to 146 g, and claw-shaped portions 135a to 135 g are provided. Although the cover mounting mechanism 141 including the connector caulking cover 130 provided is described as an example, different configurations may be used. For example, the configuration corresponding to the cover mounting portion of the present invention includes a locking protrusion provided on the connector caulking cover 130 side and a recessed portion provided on the main board case 74 side, and the connector caulking cover 130 is lightly flexed. The locking protrusion is locked in the recess by squeezing, but the locking protrusion can be removed from the recess by bending the connector caulking cover 130 attached to the main board case 74 again. It has such a configuration.

<5> In the above-described embodiment, the case protrusion 147b extends from the rear end of the first bulge 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. 17 is a further enlarged view of a partially enlarged view of FIG. 12, and describes a case protruding portion 147b of the main board case 74 according to the first modification. In this modification 1, the length of the first bulging portion 136 is L2, which is the same as the length of the first bulging portion 136 of the first embodiment, but the case protruding portion 147b is after the first bulging portion 136. It extends from a position closer to the front than the end (a position slightly closer to the front side than the uncovered surface 71c of the case 71) to a flat surface in the area to which the connector 95a is connected. The case protrusion 147b of Example 1 is formed longer than the length L5. 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 protruding portion 147b of the modified example 1 is included in the first bulging portion 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 portion S3 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, the inside of the first bulging portion 136 The case protrusion 147b contained therein can be reliably destroyed, and a trace of destruction can be left on the main board case 74 (71 on the case).

<6> Further, the first bulging portion 136 of the case protruding portion 147b may be different from that of the first embodiment. FIG. 18 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 12, and describes the first bulging portion 136 of the connector caulking cover 130 according to the second modification. In this modification 2, the case protrusion 147b is located at a position L5 having the same length as the case protrusion 147b of the first embodiment (the front end of the case protrusion 147b is slightly recessed from the non-cover surface 71c of the case top 71). However, the length of the first bulging portion 136 of the modified example 2 is formed to be a length L7 longer than the length L2 of the first bulging portion 136 of the first embodiment. The first bulging portion 136 of the second modification is formed so that the vicinity of the lower end thereof covers the vicinity of the upper end of the case protruding portion 147b. As a result, when cutting the first bulging portion 136 of the modified example 2, even if the cutting portion is cut only to the rear end of the first bulging portion 136a along the cutting portion S3, the case surely protrudes. The vicinity of the upper end of the portion 147b can also be destroyed. Moreover, since the upper end of the case protruding portion 147b is provided at a position deeper than the non-covering surface 71c of the case upper 71, another member comes into contact with the case protruding portion 147b when assembling the main board case 74 or the like. Therefore, it is possible to reduce accidental damage to the case protrusion 147b.

<7> Instead of the connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment, a member may be provided that covers a predetermined region of the main board case 74 other than the region to which the connector 95a is connected. For example, a sealing member cover that covers the area to which the sealing member 160 provided on the front surface of the main board case 74 is attached may be provided. Since the sealing member 160 is provided on the front surface of the main board case 74, it is easy to access when the front door 12 is opened, and fraudulent acts are likely to occur. However, by covering the area where the sealing member is attached by the sealing member cover, it is possible to make it difficult to access the sealing member 160 and to make it difficult to cheat on the sealing member 160.

<8> The connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment covers the area to which 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 to which the connector 95b on the sub-board case 94a side accommodating the 94b is connected may be covered. As a result, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts such as the connector 95b connected to the display control board 94b being illegally removed and the hanging board being attached.

<9> The connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment covers the area to which the connector is connected, but 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, the area where the cable for transmitting the signal transmitted from the main control device 70 to the sub control device 94 may be wired may be covered. When the area where the main cable is routed is the main board case 74 or the sub board case 93a, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts such as attaching a hanging board between the cables with the same configuration as in this embodiment.

<10> The connector caulking cover 130 of the above-described embodiment covers the area to which the connector 95a of the main board case 74 is connected, but the connector caulking cover 130 is connected to another connector of the main board case 74. It may cover the area to be covered. Further, although the above-described modification 4 covers the area to which the connector 95b of the sub-board case 94a is connected, it may cover the area to which another connector of the sub-board case 94a is connected. Absent.

<11> In the above-described embodiment, the elastic structure of the first engaging portion 161 and the elastic structure of the second engaging portion 162 are made of the same material but different elastic structures, but are made of different materials and have the same elastic structure. You may. For example, both of the two engaging portions have an elastic structure such as the second engaging portion 162, but one elastic structure is made of a resin having a predetermined hardness and the other elastic structure is more flexible. This is the case when it is made of a resin having a difficult hardness. It should be noted that one elastic structure may be a resin and the other elastic structure may be a different material such as metal. Even with these configurations, the same effects as in the examples are obtained.

<12> In the above-described embodiment, the cover member of the present invention is provided in the main board case 74 of the slot machine 10, but may be provided in the board case of the pachinko machine. For example, when the board case is the main board case constituting the main control device that executes the main control related to the pachinko game, the predetermined area covered by the cover member mainly controls the signal from the sensor that detects the winning of the operating port. This is the area where the connector of the cable sent to the board is connected. Of course, the board case may be a sub-board case that houses a control device other than the main control device, for example, a sub-control board of the sub-control device that displays identification information in the display device and controls the effect associated therewith. Absent. In this case, the cover member is configured to cover the area where the connector on one end side 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.

<13> The cover member of the present invention may be provided on a substrate case of a gaming machine in which a slot machine and a pachinko machine are fused. In this type of gaming machine, instead of inserting medals, the game balls stored in the saucer are taken into the insertion device, and instead of the medals being paid out, the game balls are paid out. However, the identification information variation display means such as the liquid crystal display 15 is provided, and the dynamic display of the identification information is started due to the operation of the start operation means such as the start lever 52, and the stop buttons 53, 54, 55 It is a necessary condition that the dynamic display of the identification information is stopped due to the operation of such a stop operation means or after a predetermined time elapses, and the definite identification information at the time of the stop is the specific identification information. , A special game state generating means such as a main control device 70 for generating a special game state advantageous to the player is provided. Further, even 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 may be applied to the same fraudulent activity as in the first embodiment. it can.

<14> The inventions described in the embodiments, examples, and modified embodiments for carrying out the above-mentioned invention may be appropriately modified, replaced, deleted, or combined as long as they do not conflict with each other. is there.

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