Since the tilting is slightly performed around the rotation center 11a, the tilt angle of the pachinko machine 11 can be easily adjusted.

Further, the upper bracket 13 is slidable in a certain range in the island depth direction with respect to the support substrate 71 of the island upper stage 10C, and the mounting rail 12 moves on the top plate 26 in the island depth direction. it can. Therefore, each pachinko machine 11 can be adjusted later to an optimum position in the island depth direction. In addition, the load of the island upper stage 10C is not only for each middle support 16 but also for two rows of pachinko machines 1.
1 can be received, so that the load on the upper island 10C is dispersed, so that the load can be prevented from being excessively concentrated on the middle support 16.

Finally, the curtain plate 8 forming the outer wall of the island upper stage 10C
In order to install the panel unit 0, a pair of panel bodies 82, 82 are covered from above so as to cover the front and rear of the island upper frame set 70 for each of the curtain plate units 81, and the hinges 83 at the connection points of the panel bodies 82 are attached. What is necessary is just to fit in the notch part 74 of the upper end of each partition plate 72. With such a simple curtain plate 80, the upper island 10
C can be entirely surrounded to conceal related equipment such as the supply / distribution gutter 90 and the currency discriminating device 77 disposed in the upper frame 70 of the island.

As described above, according to the gaming machine island 10, not only the lower island 10A but also the entire island can be constructed easily and quickly, and the construction time can be greatly reduced.
In addition, when replacing the pachinko machine 11 or increasing or decreasing related equipment,
The gaming machine island 10 can be disassembled and assembled efficiently.

FIG. 10 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the pre-assembled island lower frame 20 is divided into two in the longitudinal direction of the island, and the two halves 20A, 20A of the divided island lower frame 20 are separated from the storage tank 30 from front and rear. The lower island 10A is arranged on the floor so as to be sandwiched and connected to each other.

Accordingly, even when the island lower frame 20 has a considerable length corresponding to a so-called long island having a longer overall island length, the large island lower frame 20 is divided into two without lifting. The halves 20A, 20A may be moved horizontally on the floor so as to sandwich each storage tank 30 from front and rear, and can be easily installed.
The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted.

The specific structure of the gaming machine island according to the present invention is not limited to the one shown in the above embodiment. For example, various variations are conceivable for the shape and arrangement of the island lower frame and the storage tank. The gaming machine is not limited to a pachinko machine, but may be a slot machine using coins and medals as gaming media.

[0059]

According to the gaming machine island of the present invention, a pair of storage tanks are installed on both sides of a polishing / lifting device for gaming media erected on the floor, and then the pre-assembled island lower frame is assembled. Since the lower island is configured by placing it on the storage tank or arranging it on the floor so that the two divided frames are sandwiched from the front and back of the tank, the frame structure of the lower island that becomes the base of the entire island is simplified, The construction work is also extremely easy, the construction can be performed quickly at the construction site, and the cost can be significantly reduced by shortening the construction period.
