On the other hand, the front end portion 72a of the side connecting bracket 72 is pivotally hinged to the side plate 13 side of the front frame 10, and the rear end portion 72b of the side plate of the rear frame 20 22) may be detachably coupled via a fastener.

In addition, the lower panel 12 side of the front frame 10 of the present invention may further include a special function button 17 to perform a special function during the game progress, the special function button 17 is a player Since the pedal structure is stepped on, it is possible to further improve the player's ease of operation.

As shown in FIG. 9, the special function button 17 is a case 17a which is detachably coupled to the lower panel 12 side of the front frame 10, and a base disposed at the lower side of the case 17a. A plate 17b, an answer plate 17c pivotally installed on one side of the base plate 17b, a sensing sensor 17d disposed under the answer plate 17c to detect the pressed state of the answer plate 17c, and the answer plate 17c. ) And an elastic member 17e interposed between the base plate 17b and a rubber cushion for elastically supporting the answer plate 17c. In addition, the sensing sensor 17d is electrically connected to the control unit as a kind of contact switch capable of detecting the pressed state of the answer board 17c by contacting the answer board 17c.

This special function button 17, when the player stepped on the footboard 17c to implement a special function of the game, the sensor 17d detects the pressed state and transmits it to the control unit (not shown) Accordingly, the control unit (not shown) may control the game program to proceed with a predetermined special function.

The operating relationship of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail as follows.

FIG. 10 illustrates an example of a game displayed on the game screen 25c of the display 25 of the present invention, and a protection character P in the form of food or drink to be protected by the player is displayed on the game screen 25c. In the vicinity of the protection character (P), there is a spider or fly mosquito-like anatomy character (E) approaching the protection character (P), and this example game is a spider attacking the protection character (P) or The fly hits the anatomy character E with the throwing object 30 to remove the anatomy character E.

In this state, when the player inserts a coin into the coin inlet 11b, a plurality of throwing objects 30 are supplied into the throwing object accommodation space 15, and the player throws the throwing object in the throwing object accommodation space 15. Aim at 30 and aim at the anatomy character E on the game screen 25c.

When the throwing object 30 thrown by the player collides on the game screen 25c, the sensing unit 60 secondly detects the collision position, whereby the control unit causes the throwing object 30 to be anatomy. Whether or not the character E has been hit is displayed on the game screen 25c.

On the other hand, the special function that can be implemented by the special function button 17 of the present invention is, for example, when too much anatomy character E attacks the protective character P, the reply of the special function button 17 By stepping on (17c), the anatomy character E can be temporarily removed, or the behavior of the anatomy character E can be restricted.

As such, the special function button 17 of the present invention may be given various special functions that can cause various fun or interests of the game program.
