The tilt angle of the pachinko machine 11 can be easily adjusted because it tilts.

After the island is completed, the load of the upper unit 10A is
Each pachinko machine 1 in the front and rear two rows as well as each middle support 16
Since the first unit 1 can be received, it is possible to prevent the load from being excessively concentrated on the middle support 16 by the amount of the load of the upper unit 10A being dispersed. Further, the support receiving portion 32a of the storage tank 30 abuts below the top plate 22 on which the intermediate support 16 is erected, and receives a load. As a result, the load applied on the top plate 22 is appropriately dispersed and supported on the storage tank 30 side without being concentrated only on the waist support plates 21 and 21 that are the framework of the lower unit 10C itself. The unit 10C side can maintain sufficient strength to support the entire island.

The specific configuration of the gaming machine island according to the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. In particular, the currency transport device is not limited to the one described above, and for example,
JP-A-55-111302, JP-A-56-366
