  When such a fraudulent act is performed, there is no trace of the fraudulent act, so it becomes difficult to notice the fraudulent act, and the game is started by the control by the game control board in which the fraudulent act is performed. As a result, there arises a problem that an illegal game proceeds.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can prevent illegal acts on a game control board and easily and surely find out that an illegal act has been performed even if the illegal act has been performed.

The invention according to claim 1 is a gaming machine comprising a game control board for controlling a game and a game control board housing member for housing the game control board, wherein the game control board housing member is A housing member main body that holds the game control board, and a first hole that is formed along the thickness direction; and the game control board is enclosed between the housing member main body and the housing member main body. The housing member lid body having a second hole portion that is formed along the thickness direction and is joined to the housing member main body and communicated with the first hole portion, and the housing member body and the housing. A fixing tool that maintains a bonding state with the member lid, and the fixing tool is inserted from the opening of the first hole or the second hole, and the first hole and the second hole. Bolt member interposed in the part, and toward the one direction of rotation The screw member is engaged with the bolt member by rotating relative to the bolt member, and the screw member is released from the screw member by rotating relative to the bolt member toward the other side in the rotation direction. A nut member, and the nut member and the bolt member are engaged with the nut member to be rotated in one direction of rotation on either the housing member lid or the housing member main body. to permit relative rotation between said nut member and the rotation adjusting means for co-rotation with said bolt member and the nut member does not engage the to be rotated, the provided direction of rotation the other side, said nut member A plurality of projecting portions are provided on the outer surface of the housing at predetermined intervals, and the rotation adjusting means is provided on either the housing member lid body or the housing member main body and can be engaged with the projecting portion. Nails And the claw member engages with the protruding portion of the nut member to rotate to one side in the rotation direction to prevent rotation of the nut member and to rotate to the other side in the rotation direction. The nut member is allowed to rotate without engaging with the protruding portion .

  According to invention of Claim 1, the bolt member which comprises a fixing tool is inserted from the opening part of a 1st hole part or a 2nd hole part, and interposes inside the 1st hole part and the 2nd hole part, The nut member constituting the fixing tool is screwed. Thereby, the joining state of a storage member main body and a storage member lid can be maintained. The bolt member and the nut member are configured to be able to be screwed by rotating relative to one side in the rotation direction, and to be released by rotating to the other side in the rotation direction.

  Here, either one of the housing member lid or the housing member main body is provided with a rotation adjusting means, and the rotation adjusting means engages with the nut member to be rotated in one direction of rotation to rotate the nut member. And the nut member is fixed. Thereby, relative rotation between the nut member and the bolt member is enabled by rotating the bolt member to one side in the rotation direction, and the degree of screwing of both can be advanced.

  On the other hand, the rotation adjusting means allows the nut member to rotate without engaging with the nut member that attempts to rotate in the other direction of rotation. Thereby, when it is going to rotate a bolt member to the rotation direction other side, a nut member and a bolt member will rotate together toward the rotation direction other side, and both screwing state is not cancelled | released. For this reason, even if a fraudulent person tries to rotate the bolt member to the other side in the rotation direction, the screwed state between the bolt member and the nut member is maintained, so that the bolt member is connected to the first hole portion or the second hole portion. It cannot be pulled out from the opening.

  As described above, by providing the rotation adjusting means on either the housing member lid or the housing member main body, it is possible to prevent the bolted member and the nut member from being unscrewed, and the game control board can be used as the game control board housing member. Can be prevented from being illegally taken out, and its deterrence can be demonstrated. In addition, if the game control board is forcibly removed from the game control board housing member, the bolt member, the first hole, or the second hole will be broken or damaged, and there will be no evidence of fraud. Will remain. As a result, the fact of fraud can be easily and reliably discovered.

The rotation adjusting means is a claw member that is provided on either the housing member lid or the housing member main body and can be engaged with the protruding portion, and the claw member is a nut that attempts to rotate in one direction of rotation. Engage with the protrusion of the member to prevent rotation of the nut member. Thereby, the relative rotation of the bolt member and the nut member is enabled by rotating the bolt member to one side in the rotation direction, and the screwing state can be advanced and the screwed state can be maintained.

  On the other hand, the claw member allows rotation of the nut member without being engaged with the protruding portion of the nut member that attempts to rotate in the other direction of rotation. As a result, when the bolt member is rotated to the other side in the rotation direction, relative rotation between the bolt member and the nut member becomes impossible, and the screwed state is maintained. Thus, the relative rotation of the bolt member and the nut member can be adjusted with a simple configuration.

The invention disclosed in the present specification for reference (hereinafter referred to as “reference invention”) includes a game control board for controlling a game, and a game control board housing member for housing the game control board. The gaming control board housing member includes a first hole formed along a thickness direction, and a housing member main body that holds the game control board, and is joined to the housing member main body.

An accommodating member lid, and a fixing tool for maintaining the joined state of the accommodating member main body and the accommodating member lid, wherein the fixing tool is an opening of the first hole or the second hole. Inserted into the first hole and the second hole. The existing bolt member and the bolt member are rotated relative to the bolt member toward one side in the rotation direction, and are screwed together with the bolt member toward the other side in the rotation direction. And a nut member that releases screwing with the bolt member by rotating, and the nut member that attempts to rotate in one direction of rotation in either the housing member lid or the housing member main body The nut member and the bolt member are engaged with each other to enable relative rotation between the nut member and the bolt member, and the nut member and the bolt member are not engaged with the nut member trying to rotate in the other direction of rotation. A rotation adjusting means for rotating together, wherein the rotation adjusting means is formed on a part of an inner peripheral surface of the first hole portion or the second hole portion and engages with an outer surface of the nut member. The rotation of the nut member A first recess that prevents the rotation and the rotation of the nut member without being engaged with the outer surface of the nut member that is formed on a part of the inner peripheral surface of the first hole portion or the second hole portion. Two recesses, and is interposed between the nut member and the first hole or the bottom of the second hole in which the first recess and the second recess are formed, and the first hole Alternatively, an elastic member that adjusts the distance between the bottom of the second hole and the nut member by elastic deformation is provided, and the pressing force from the bolt member that acts on the nut member is greater than the elastic force of the elastic member. In this case, the elastic member is elastically deformed to reduce the separation distance between the bottom of the first hole or the second hole and the nut member, and the outer surface of the nut member and the first recess are engaged. Pressing force from the bolt member acting on the nut member Is smaller than the elastic force of the elastic member, the elastic member is elastically deformed to widen the distance between the bottom of the first hole or the second hole and the nut member, and the nut member By moving to the second recessed portion side, the engagement state between the outer surface of the nut member and the first recessed portion is released.

According to the reference invention, when the pressing force from the bolt member acting on the nut member is larger than the elastic force of the elastic member, the elastic member is elastically deformed and the bottom of the first hole or the second hole and the nut The separation distance from the member is reduced, and the outer surface of the nut member and the first recess are engaged. As a result, the nut member can be fixed, so that the bolt member and the nut member can be rotated relative to each other by rotating the bolt member to one side in the rotational direction, and the degree of screwing of both is advanced and the screwed state. Can be maintained.

  On the other hand, when the pressing force from the bolt member acting on the nut member is smaller than the elastic force of the elastic member, the elastic member is elastically deformed and the bottom portion of the first hole portion or the second hole portion is separated from the nut member. The distance increases. Thereby, since a nut member moves to the 2nd crevice side, the engagement state of the outside surface of a nut member and 1 crevice is canceled. As a result, when the bolt member is rotated to the other side in the rotational direction, the relative rotation between the bolt member and the nut member becomes impossible, and the nut member rotates together with the bolt member. It will never be done.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a back mechanism board 200 is attached to the inner frame 14 of the pachinko machine 10 so as to cover the back side of the game board 26. The back mechanism panel 200 mainly supplies power to the payout control board case set 202 containing the payout control board 104, the launch control board case set 204 containing the launch control board 108, and the pachinko machine 10. A power supply circuit board case set 208 that accommodates the power supply circuit board 206 is attached thereto. Each of these board case sets 202, 204, and 208 is configured to protrude to the back side of the pachinko machine 10 through the outer frame 12 after being assembled.

  Next, the surface structure of the game board 26 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the game board 26 is held by the inner frame 14, and the back side of the game board 26 is covered by the back mechanism board 200. In the game board 26, a substantially circular game area 28 is formed by an outer rail 50 and an inner rail 52 provided on the surface of the game board 26. Inside the game area 28, a central device 54, a start port 56B, a warp entrance 58, and a number of obstacle nails 60 are disposed.

  The central device 54 is disposed substantially at the center of the game area 28 and includes an effect symbol display device 62, a center accessory 64, and a lamp device 66.

  The effect symbol display device 62 is display-controlled based on control signals from the main control board (game control board) 102 (see FIG. 5) and the sub control board 106 (see FIG. 5), and has a substantially rectangular display surface. (Display area). On this display surface, special design effects are displayed. Specifically, on the display surface of the effect symbol display device 62, an effect symbol display area is formed in which one or more effect symbols are displayed while being changed one after another in a predetermined direction and then stopped. That is, the left effect symbol display area for displaying the left effect symbol, the center effect symbol display area for displaying the center effect symbol, and the right effect symbol display area for displaying the right effect symbol are arranged in a substantially horizontal row. They are formed side by side (not shown). In each effect symbol display area, a symbol variation direction is set in a direction (vertical direction) substantially orthogonal to the arrangement direction of these display areas, and a plurality of effect symbols are sequentially displayed in that direction.

  The effect symbol display device 62 causes the effect symbols displayed in the display area of the display surface to change and stop display when the game ball enters the start opening 56B. Then, for example, when the production symbols are aligned with the same three-digit symbols “7, 7, 7” and stopped (determined display), the big winning opening 86 of the big winning device 84 arranged in the variable winning device 80 is opened. Is done. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a game ball enters the start opening 56B, each effect symbol is changed, and the effect symbol is arranged in the same three-digit symbol, thereby giving a specific value of “big hit”. is there.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, for example, two types of big hits are set in advance. Specifically, there is a probable big hit that is established when three digits of the same odd-numbered effect symbols such as “7, 7, 7” are arranged. In addition, there is a normal jackpot that is established when the same even-numbered effects such as “8, 8, 8” are arranged in three digits.

  The probable big hit and the normal big hit are big hits having a relatively large number of rounds (for example, 15 rounds) and the opening time of the big winning opening 86 being about 26 seconds. For this reason, the number of prize balls is relatively large. In each big hit, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls enter the big winning opening 86, or a predetermined time (for example, 10) even if a predetermined number (for example, 10) of the game balls do not enter. For example, when 26 seconds) elapses, the big winning opening 86 is closed and one round is completed.

  Further, the probability variation state is a state in which the probability of shifting to a big hit (meaning two kinds of big hits, a probable big hit and a normal big hit) becomes a predetermined high probability. The open time extended state is a state in which the opening time of the start port 56B is extended more than usual. For example, the normal opening time is about 0.1 seconds, while in the extended opening time state, it is extended to about 4 seconds. The start port 56B is opened by winning a normal symbol lottery, and functions as a normal electric accessory.

  In addition, after the probable big hit, the probability of shifting to the big hit becomes a special symbol probability fluctuation state in which the probability is higher than the normal gaming state. Then, the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened until the next big hit is generated, or until the special symbol variation display is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 10,000 times), and the start port 56B. The open extension function is activated. In addition, after the normal jackpot, the probability of shifting to the big jackpot becomes a predetermined low probability state that is the same as the normal gaming state, and the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is reduced by a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). When the opening extension function of the start port 56B is activated, the short game state is set.

  The center accessory 64 is mounted so as to protrude from the front peripheral portion of the effect symbol display device 62. The center accessory 64 has a pair of movable blade pieces 64A. The opening area of the warp entrance 58 is changed by the movement of the blade piece 64A.

  In addition, on the lower left side of the game area, a 7-segment display board (design) which controls display of an identification symbol (which means an identification symbol of a special symbol and an identification symbol of a normal symbol) based on a control signal from the main control board 102. Display device) 68 is arranged. The 7-segment display board 68 displays a 7-segment display 70 for displaying a special symbol identification symbol, four normal symbol hold display LEDs 72, four special symbol hold indication LEDs 74, and a normal symbol identification symbol. And two normal symbol display LEDs 76.

  Here, in the case of a probable big hit, a predetermined identification symbol (for example, a probable big hit symbol consisting of an odd number) is stopped and displayed on the 7-segment display 70. In the case of a normal big hit, another predetermined identification symbol (for example, a normal big hit symbol consisting of an even number) is stopped and displayed on the 7-segment display 70.

  Further, a normal symbol operation gate 78 is arranged on the left side of the effect symbol display device 62. A gate switch 124 (see FIG. 5) is disposed inside the normal symbol operating gate 78. As a result, when the game ball passes the normal symbol operation gate 78, the gate switch 124 is operated, and the normal symbol display LED 76 of the 7-segment display board 68 is variably displayed.

  Each normal symbol hold display LED 72 and each special symbol hold display LED 74 are composed of four round red LEDs, and are arranged close to the left and right sides of the 7-segment display 70. In this case, the number of game balls that have passed through the normal symbol operation gate 78 is set to hold the normal symbols up to four, and the lights are sequentially turned on and shifted for each passage. In addition, the number of game balls that have entered the start opening 56B is also reserved for up to four special symbols, which are sequentially lit and shifted for each incoming ball. Each time the variable display on the 7-segment display 70 starts, the number of unstarted times is exhausted, and one special symbol hold display LED 74 is turned off. Further, each time the normal symbol display LED 76 starts to change the normal symbol, the number of unstarted times is consumed, and one normal symbol hold display LED 72 is turned off. Then, when a predetermined jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the 7-segment display 70, a jackpot is generated and the jackpot 86 is opened. Further, when the two normal symbol display LEDs 76 are stopped and displayed in a predetermined display mode (a winning symbol), a normal symbol hit occurs and the start port 56B is opened. The special symbol identification symbol displayed on the 7-segment display 70 and the special symbol effect symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 62 indicate the same game result (lottery result). .

  The start port 56B is disposed below the effect symbol display device 62 and is formed so as to open and close the pair of wing piece members 56A in a so-called tulip type. Inside thereof, there are provided a start port switch 120 (see FIG. 5) for detecting the passage of the game ball and a start port solenoid 130 (see FIG. 5) for operating the wing piece member 56A. When the pair of wing piece members 56A are opened to the left and right, the opening area of the start port 56B is increased, and the possibility of entering a game ball is increased. When the pair of wing piece members 56A are closed and the separation distance is reduced. The opening area of the start opening 56B is reduced, and the normal state is reduced where the possibility of entering a game ball is reduced.

  The variable winning device 80 is disposed below the start opening 56 </ b> B, and includes a substrate 82 and a big winning device 84. Here, the grand prize winning device 84 is disposed substantially at the center, and has a grand prize winning opening 86 opened in a strip shape, an opening / closing plate 88 for opening or closing the special winning prize opening 86, and opening / closing the opening / closing plate 88. A large winning opening solenoid 132 (see FIG. 5) and a count switch 126 (see FIG. 5) for detecting a winning ball.

  A windmill 63 is disposed on the lower left side of the central device 54. Further, a pair of side lamps 90 are respectively disposed on the lower left portion and the lower right portion of the game area.

  Further, an out port 92 is provided below the game board 26, and a back ball preventing member 94 is provided below the out port 92. The back ball preventing member 94 prevents the game ball that has returned without reaching the game area 28 from returning to the launch position again. A foul ball prevention member 96 is attached to the tip of the inner rail 52.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4, on the back surface of the game board 26, a main control board case set (game control board housing member) 210 containing the main control board 102 and a sub control board containing the sub control board 106 are accommodated.

Further, the CPU 102A of the main control board 102 controls the entire game and mainly determines a game state such as determination of success / failure.

  In particular, the CPU 102A executes a jackpot lottery process (special game lottery process) triggered by the entry of a game ball into the start port 56B, and determines the success / failure using an arbitrary random number (special symbol determination random number). It has. The CPU 102A also has a function of determining a variation pattern (variation time) of the special symbol (identification symbol) with the execution of the special symbol determination.

  The variation pattern of the identification symbol corresponds to the effect pattern (game effect) of each effect symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device 62. The “determination of the variation pattern of the identification symbol” performed by the CPU 102A is “effect symbol”. Corresponds to “determining the production pattern (game production)”. When the variation pattern of the special symbol (identification symbol) (the production pattern of the production symbol) is determined, the 7-segment display 70 starts the variation display of the special symbol (identification symbol) and produces the production symbol display device 62. When the variation display of the effect symbol is started and the variation time specified by the determined variation pattern elapses, the special symbol and the effect symbol are stopped and displayed. The player's success / failure determination result (big hit lottery result) is notified to the player. The effect symbol display device 62 is arranged at a position approximately in the center of the surface (board surface) of the game board 26 so as to easily enter the player's field of view. On the other hand, the 7-segment display 70 is arranged at the end of the surface (board surface) of the game board 26 (the left end of the board surface in the present embodiment) so as not to easily enter the player's field of view. For this reason, it is common for a player to play a game while paying attention to the display content of the effect symbol display device 62.

  The ROM 106B stores data (especially information related to game decoration) necessary for controlling each board.

  As shown in FIG. 6, an effect display device 166 (62) and an effect display ROM 168 are electrically connected to the effect display board 110. In the effect display ROM 168, data (image data) of effect symbols that are displayed in a variable manner and stopped on the effect symbol display device 62 are stored. The effect symbol display device 62 is an embodiment of the effect display device 166.

  The amplifier board 112 is electrically connected to various speakers 170 (48) that output predetermined sound effects. The sub-speaker 48 is an embodiment of various speakers 170.

  In addition, various types of LEDs and lamps 172 (66) are electrically connected to the decorative driving board 114. The decoration driving board 114 receives a control signal from the sub-control board 106 and performs control related to game decoration. In particular, the decorative drive board 114 controls the light emission of each lamp device 66 based on a control signal from the sub-control board 106. In addition, an operation switch 174 (40) is electrically connected to the effect button board 116. The lamp device 66 is an embodiment of various LEDs / lamps 172. The effect button 40 is an embodiment of the operation switch 174.

Next, a detailed configuration of the main control board case set 210 will be described.
The configuration of the payout control board case set 202 is the same as that of the main control board case set 210, and thus the description thereof is omitted. The sub-control board case set 212, the launch control board case set 204, and the power board case set 208 have a low need for fraud countermeasures and have a simple configuration that is simply engaged. Omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the main control board case set 210 maintains the joined state of the board case (housing member main body) 214, the case cover (housing member lid) 216, and the board case 214 and the case cover 216. A bolt member (fixing tool) 218 and a nut member 250 screwed with the bolt member 218 are configured.

  The substrate case 214 is a case for holding the main control substrate 102 inside, and is made of a colorless and transparent resin. On the outer surface of the substrate case 214, a first flange portion (first flange member) 220 made of a colorless and transparent resin is integrally formed. A first insertion piece (first hole) 222 into which the bolt member 218 is inserted is formed in a first protrusion piece (described later) 240 of the first flange part 220. It is formed to extend in the thickness direction. The diameter (diameter) of the first insertion hole 222 is set to be the same as or slightly larger than the diameter (diameter) of the shaft portion 218A of the bolt member 218.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the first flange portion 220 has a first projecting piece portion 240 formed with the first insertion hole 222 and an outer wall of the first flange portion 220. An opening hole part 242 formed by lacking and a second projecting piece 244 provided with a flat part 246 functioning as the bottom part of the first insertion hole 222 are formed. The nut member 250 is placed on the flat surface portion 246 of the second protruding piece portion 244. The nut member 250 is located in the opening hole 242, and the nut member 250 can be accessed from the opening hole 242 when the substrate case 214 is taken out from the pachinko machine 10. Therefore, when the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 are screwed together, the nut member 250 in the opening hole 242 is gripped and fixed, and the bolt member 218 is easily screwed by rotating in a predetermined direction. be able to. On the other hand, in a state where the substrate case 214 is attached to the inside of the pachinko machine 10, the component parts of the pachinko machine 10 are positioned in the vicinity of the opening hole 242, so that the nut member 250 is gripped from the opening hole 242. I can't do that. As a result, when the board case 214 is installed on the back surface of the game board 26, not only the fraudster but also the hall personnel cannot touch the nut member 250.

  Further, a claw member (rotation adjusting means) 248 is provided on the flat surface portion 246 of the second projecting piece portion 244. As shown in FIG. 10, the claw member 248 has a predetermined elastic force and engages with a protruding portion (projecting portion) 252 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the nut member 250. Specifically, when the nut member 250 is about to rotate in one direction of rotation (arrow A direction in FIG. 10), the claw member 248 engages with the protrusion 252 on the outer peripheral surface of the nut member 250, and the nut member The rotation of 250 in one direction of rotation is prevented. On the other hand, when the nut member 250 tries to rotate in the other direction of rotation (arrow B direction in FIG. 10), the claw member 248 does not engage with the protrusion 252 on the outer peripheral surface of the nut member 250, and the nut member 250. Is allowed to rotate in the other direction. As described above, the claw member 248 prevents rotation of the nut member 250 in one direction of rotation and allows rotation in the other direction of rotation of the nut member 250 to adjust the rotation of the nut member 250 (rotation). Function as an adjusting means).

  As shown in FIG. 7, the case cover 216 is a resin-made, colorless and transparent cover that is joined to the substrate case 214 so as to surround the main control substrate 102 with the substrate case 214. On the outer surface of the case cover 216, a second flange portion (second flange member) 224 made of a colorless and transparent resin is integrally formed. A second insertion hole (second hole portion) 226 into which the pin member 218 is inserted is formed in the second flange portion 224 so as to penetrate in the thickness direction of the second flange portion 224 (case cover 216). . The second insertion hole 226 includes an enlarged hole portion 226A having a relatively large inner diameter, and a reduced diameter hole portion communicating with the enlarged hole portion 226A and having a diameter smaller than the diameter (diameter) of the enlarged hole portion 226A. 226B. The diameter (diameter) of the enlarged hole portion 226A is set to be the same as or slightly larger than the diameter (diameter) of the head portion 218B constituting the bolt member 218. Further, the diameter (diameter) of the reduced diameter hole portion 226B is set to be substantially the same as or slightly larger than the diameter (diameter) of the shaft portion 218A.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in a state where the bolt member 218 is inserted into the inside from the opening 228 (see FIG. 7) of the second insertion hole 226 and screwed into the nut member 250, the head portion 218 </ b> B is connected to the enlarged hole portion 226 </ b> A. Since it engages with the stepped portion 230 with the reduced diameter hole portion 226B, the bolt member 218 is prevented from further moving in the depth direction of the second insertion hole 226, and the bolt member 218 is moved from the inside of the first insertion hole 222 to the first position. 2 Positioning is performed across the inside of the insertion hole 226.

  Next, a detailed configuration of the fixing tool will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the fixing tool is configured by a bolt member 218 and a nut member 250. The bolt member 218 is made of metal or resin, and has a shaft portion 218A extending in a predetermined direction and a diameter (diameter) larger than the diameter (diameter) of the shaft portion 218A provided at one end portion in the axial direction of the shaft portion 218A. Diameter) head portion 218B. A male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 218A. Moreover, the nut member 250 is comprised with the metal or resin, and the through-hole 256 regarding the thickness direction is formed in the center part. On the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 256, a female screw that is screwed with the male screw of the shaft portion 218A is formed. As shown in FIG. 10, a plurality of protrusions 252 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the nut member 250. The projecting portion 252 of the projecting portion 252 has directionality, and when the nut member 250 attempts to rotate in one direction of rotation (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 10), the nut member 250 becomes the claw member 248. And the nut member 250 is prevented from rotating in one direction of rotation. As a result, even when the bolt member 218 rotates to one side in the rotation direction, the nut member 250 is fixed, and the degree of screwing between the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 proceeds. On the other hand, when the nut member 250 tries to rotate in the other direction of rotation (arrow B direction in FIG. 10), the nut member 250 and the claw member 248 are not engaged, and the rotation of the nut member 250 in the other direction of rotation is not performed. Permissible. As a result, when the bolt member 218 rotates to the other side in the rotation direction, the nut member 250 rotates (co-rotates) together with the bolt member 218. For this reason, even if the bolt member 218 rotates to the other side in the rotational direction in a state where the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 are already screwed together, the nut member 250 only rotates together with the bolt member 218. The screwing is not resolved.

  As shown in FIG. 9, when the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 are screwed together, the nut member 250 is placed on the flat surface portion 246 of the second protruding piece portion 244. The nut member 250 can be positioned on the second projecting piece 244 by forming a hole (not shown) in the second projecting piece 244 and placing the nut member 250 in the hole.

  Next, a method for attaching the fixing tool to the substrate case 214 and the case cover 216 will be described. The attachment of the fixing tool to the substrate case 214 and the case cover 216 is performed before the substrate case 214 and the case cover 216 are attached to the back surface of the game board 26, in other words, in a state where they are taken out from the pachinko machine 10.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the first flange portion 220 of the substrate case 214 and the second flange portion 224 of the case cover 216 are brought into surface contact, and the first insertion hole 222 and the second insertion hole 226 are communicated with each other. Thus, the first insertion hole 222 and the reduced diameter hole portion 226B of the second insertion hole 226 are connected to form one communication hole.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the bolt member 218 constituting the fixing tool is inserted from the opening 228 of the second insertion hole 226 of the second flange portion 224 of the case cover 216. At this time, the tip end portion of the shaft portion 218A of the bolt member 218 reaches the reduced diameter hole portion 226B from the enlarged diameter hole portion 226A of the second insertion hole 226, and is eventually formed in the first protruding piece portion 240 of the substrate case 214. It reaches the first insertion hole 222.

  When the distal end portion of the shaft portion 218 </ b> A of the bolt member 218 passes through the first insertion hole 222, it reaches the opening hole portion 242. Here, a nut member 250 is provided on the second projecting piece portion 244, which is the opening hole portion 242, and the bolt member 218 of the bolt member 218 is engaged in a state where the claw member 248 is engaged with the protruding portion 252 of the nut member 250. The distal end portion of the shaft portion 218A is inserted into the through hole 256 of the nut member 250. Then, the bolt member 218 is rotated to one side in the rotation direction (arrow A direction side in FIG. 10).

  When the bolt member 218 is rotated to one side in the rotational direction, the claw member 248 and the protrusion 252 of the nut member 250 maintain the engaged state as shown in FIG. At the same time, even if it tries to rotate in one direction of rotation, it cannot be rotated. That is, the nut member 250 is in a fixed state even when it receives a rotational force toward one side in the rotational direction. For this reason, relative rotation with respect to the nut member 250 of the bolt member 218 is attained. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the degree of screwing between the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 can be advanced. Thus, by screwing the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 together, the joined state between the substrate case 214 and the case cover 216 can be maintained, and illegal acts can be prevented. In this way, after the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 are screwed together, the board case 214 is attached to the back surface of the game board 26.

  When the bolt member 218 is completely screwed into the nut member 250, the head portion 218B of the bolt member 218 is engaged with the stepped portion 230, and the tip portion of the shaft portion 218A of the bolt member 218 is the second protruding piece. It is in a state of being screwed into a screw (female screw) hole 254 formed in the portion 244. Thereby, the bolt member 218 is fixed to the substrate case 214.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 10, when the fraudster rotates the bolt member 218 to the other side in the rotation direction (the arrow B direction side in FIG. 10), the engagement between the claw member 248 and the protrusion 252 of the nut member 250. The combined state is released. For this reason, the nut member 250 is not fixed by the claw member 248, and receives the rotational force of the bolt member 218 and rotates together with the bolt member 218. That is, even when the bolt member 218 is rotated to the other side in the rotation direction, the bolt member 218 continues to rotate together with the nut member 250 to the other side in the rotation direction without rotating relative to the nut member 250. Specifically, when the nut member 250 is rotated to the other side in the rotation direction, the claw member 248 is brought into contact so as to stroke the tip end portion of the protruding portion 252, and they are not engaged with each other. Thereby, even when the bolt member 218 is rotated to the other side in the rotation direction, the screwed state between the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 cannot be released. As a result, even if an unauthorized person tries to rotate the bolt member 218 to the other side in the rotation direction, the screwed state between the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 is not released, and the case cover 216 and the substrate case 214 are separated. Fraudulent acts can be prevented. In addition, in the state where the board case 214 and the case cover 216 are attached to the back surface of the game board 26, the other member is located near the opening hole 242, so the nut member 250 is blocked by the other member. It becomes a state. For this reason, once the board case 214 is attached to the game board 26, it is impossible for an unauthorized person to contact the nut member 250. In this way, an illegal act of pulling out the bolt member 218 can be prevented.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, since the screwed state of the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 can be maintained, the bolt member 218 cannot be taken out, and the main control housed inside Unauthorized acts on the substrate 102 can be prevented.

  It is also physically possible to separate the case cover 216 and the substrate case 214 by forcibly damaging or breaking the substrate case 214, the case cover 216, the bolt member 218, or the nut member 250. In this case, the substrate case 214, the case cover 216, the bolt member 218, or the nut member 250 is left with traces of damage or breakage. As a result, it is possible to easily and surely find out the fact that fraud has been performed.

  In particular, if the bolt member 218 or the nut member 250 is made of resin and set so as to be easily damaged even by a small amount of fraud, the trace can be immediately left and the fact of fraud can be recognized. it can. For the same reason, the bolt member 218 or the nut member 250 may be made of rubber so that the bolt member 218 or the nut member 250 can be easily damaged.

  In addition, oil, oil, grease, or the like may be attached to the nut member 250 and the protruding portion 252 to reduce the frictional resistance between the nut member 250 and the flat portion of the second protruding piece portion 244. Thereby, even when the bolt member 218 is rotated to the other side in the rotational direction due to fraud, the frictional force generated between the claw member 248 and the protrusion 252, the back surface of the nut member 250, and the second protruding piece 244 The frictional force generated during the period can be reduced. For this reason, the nut member 250 can be easily rotated to the other side in the rotational direction on the second protruding piece portion 244, and the bolt member 218 and the nut member 250 can be reliably rotated together.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In addition, about the structure similar to the pachinko machine 10 which concerns on 1st Embodiment, while attaching | subjecting a same sign, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, the flat portion 246 of the second protruding piece 244 has a part of the first insertion hole 222 on the extension of the first insertion hole 222 formed in the first protruding piece 240. A rotation adjustment hole (rotation adjustment means) 260 is formed. As shown in FIG. 14, the rotation adjusting hole 260 has a non-engaging hole (second recess) 260A having an inner peripheral surface formed in a circle in plan view, and an inner surface formed in a hexagon in plan view. The engagement hole (first recess) 260B and the bottom 260C are configured. Specifically, the rotation adjusting hole 260 formed in the flat surface portion 246 of the second projecting piece 244 includes a non-engaging hole portion 260A formed in a shallow portion and a depth direction lower than the non-engaging hole portion 260A. The engagement hole 260B is formed on the side, and the bottom 260C is formed on the lower side in the depth direction of the engagement hole 260B. The non-engaging hole 260A and the engaging hole 260B are formed so as to be continuous in the depth direction. Note that the thickness dimension of the engagement hole 260B is set to be equal to or less than the thickness dimension of a spring washer (elastic member) 262 described later.

  Further, the diameter of the non-engaging hole portion 260A is set to be the same as or slightly larger than the diameter of the nut member 264 (the dimension from the center of the nut member 264 to the farthest part). Further, the engagement hole 260B is set to have substantially the same size and shape as the outer surface of the nut member 264.

  Here, in this embodiment, the nut member 264 is an existing nut member having a hexagonal shape in a plan view and having no protrusion on the outer surface.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 13, a spring washer 262 is provided at the bottom 260 </ b> C of the rotation adjusting hole 260 formed in the second projecting piece 244. The spring washer 262 is freely elastically deformed according to the pressure that affects the vertical direction (axial direction). A nut member 264 is disposed above the spring washer 262. Further, the lower portion of the spring washer 262 is in contact with the bottom portion 260 </ b> C of the rotation adjustment hole 260. For this reason, the spring washer 262 is interposed between the nut member 264 and the bottom portion 260 </ b> C of the rotation adjustment hole 260. The spring washer 262 is twisted and extended in the axial direction in a state where no external force is applied, and the upper end of the spring washer 262 reaches the upper surface of the engagement hole 260B. For this reason, when the nut member 264 is simply placed on the top of the spring washer 262 (no external force is applied), the nut member 264 is supported by the elastic force of the spring washer 262. The region of 260B is not reached, and the region of the non-engaging hole 260A, that is, the outer surface of the nut member 264 comes to a position facing the inner peripheral surface of the non-engaging hole 260A. In this state, the nut member 264 is not engaged with the non-engaging hole 260A, and the nut member 264 can freely rotate.

  According to the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, when the board member 214 and the case cover 216 are coupled by screwing the bolt member 218 and the nut member 264, the bolt member 218 is the first member. The insertion hole 222 and the second insertion hole 226 are passed through. When the shaft portion 218A of the bolt member 218 reaches the nut member 264, a predetermined pressing force (a pressure larger than the elastic force of the spring washer 262) is applied from the bolt member 218 to the nut member 264. Thereby, the nut member 264 moves to the bottom 260 </ b> C side so as to oppose the elastic force of the spring washer 262. At this time, since the elastic force of the spring washer 262 is smaller than the pressing force from the nut member 264, the spring washer 262 contracts in the axial direction. When the nut member 264 is moved to the bottom portion 260C side, the nut member 264 may be gripped from the opening hole portion 242 so as not to rotate.

  When the spring washer 262 contracts in the axial direction and the nut member 264 moves toward the bottom portion 260C, the nut member 264 eventually reaches the region of the engagement hole portion 260B. At this time, the outer surface of the nut member 264 faces and engages with the inner surface of the engagement hole 260B. For this reason, when the nut member 264 reaches the region of the engagement hole 260B, the nut member 264 cannot be rotated around the central axis. As a result, even if a rotational force acts on the nut member 264 via the bolt member 218, the nut member 264 does not rotate and remains fixed.

  Then, when the bolt member 218 is rotated to one side in the rotational direction in a state where the nut member 264 reaches the region of the engagement hole 260B and is fixed, the bolt member 218 rotates relative to the nut member 264. . As a result, the degree of screwing between the bolt member 218 and the nut member 264 advances, and the shaft portion 218A of the bolt member 218 gradually passes through the through hole 256 of the nut member 264. Eventually, as shown in FIG. 12, the tip of the shaft portion 218A of the bolt member 218 is screwed into a screw (female screw) hole 254 formed in the bottom portion 260C, and the bolt member 218 is fixed to the substrate case 214. At this time, even if the pressing force applied to the bolt member 218 is released, the force generated in the screwed state between the bolt member 218 and the bottom portion 260 </ b> C formed on the second projecting piece portion 244 is applied to the spring washer 262. Since it becomes larger than the elastic force, the screwed state between the bolt member 218 and the bottom portion 260C formed on the second protruding piece portion 244 can be maintained, and as a result, the engaged state between the nut member 264 and the engaging hole portion 260B is maintained. Is done.

  In the state where the bolt member 218 is fixed to the substrate case 214, the head portion 218B of the bolt member 218 is engaged with the stepped portion 230, whereby the connecting operation of the bolt member 218 to the nut member 264 is completed. . As a result, the substrate case 214 and the case cover 216 are firmly connected by the fixing tool.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 13, when the fraudulent person rotates the bolt member 218 to the other side in the rotational direction, the nut member 264 is engaged with and fixed to the engagement hole portion 260B. Therefore, the bolt member 218 advances in a direction in which the screwed state with the nut member 264 is eliminated. That is, the bolt member 218 moves in the direction opposite to the bottom portion 260C (the second flange portion 224 side of the case cover 216).

  When the bolt member 218 moves to the opposite side of the bottom portion 260C by a predetermined distance, the screwed state between the shaft portion 218A of the bolt member 218 and the screw (female screw) hole 254 of the bottom portion 260C is canceled. When the screwing between the bolt member 218 and the nut member 264 is eliminated, the pressing force applied to the nut member 264 from the bolt member 218 is reduced, and the elastic force of the spring washer 262 is eventually increased. .

  When the pressing force acting on the nut member 264 from the bolt member 218 becomes smaller than the elastic force of the spring washer 262, the spring washer 262 gradually extends in the axial direction. Thereby, the nut member 264 moves so as to be lifted to the first protruding piece 240 side by the spring washer 262. Then, the nut member 264 moves from the region of the engagement hole 260B to the region of the non-engagement hole 260A. Here, even if the nut member 264 moves to the region of the non-engagement hole portion 260A, the insertion depth of the shaft portion 218A of the bolt member 218 into the nut member 264 is shallow, but the bolt member 218 and the nut member 264 The screwed state is maintained.

  When the nut member 264 moves to the region of the non-engagement hole 260A, the outer surface of the nut member 264 and the inner peripheral surface of the non-engagement hole 260A face each other, but the nut member 264 does not engage. Since it is not fixed by the hole 260A, the rotation of the nut member 264 is allowed.

  In this state, even if the fraudster rotates the bolt member 218 to the other side in the rotational direction, the nut member 264 only rotates (co-rotates) together with the bolt member 218, and the nut member 264 and the bolt member 218 are screwed together. The condition will never be cleared. For this reason, only by rotating the bolt member 218 to the other side in the rotation direction, the bolt member 218 and the nut member 264 continue to rotate together. As a result, the bolt member 218 cannot be pulled out from the first insertion hole 222 and the second insertion hole 226, and it becomes impossible to separate the board case 214 and the case cover 216 and take out the main control board 102 inside. .

  Here, it is conceivable to forcibly damage the bolt member 218 or the nut member 264 to separate the substrate case 214 and the case cover 216, but in such a case, the bolt member 218 or the nut member 264 is damaged. And leave traces of fraud. For this reason, it is possible to easily and reliably recognize the fact of fraud, and to respond quickly.

  Similarly to the first embodiment, the bolt member 218 or the nut member 264 is made of resin or rubber, so that a design that is easily damaged is possible. In such a configuration, the bolt member 218 or the nut member 264 may be damaged even by a small amount of fraud, so that traces remain reliably at an early stage of the fraud, and the fraudulent person is discouraged from further fraud. In addition, the hall officials can be informed of the fact of fraud.

  Further, by attaching oil, oil, grease or the like to the inside of the rotation adjustment hole 260 of the second projecting piece 244, the nut member 264 and the non-engagement hole 260A in the region of the non-engagement hole 260A. Even when the inner peripheral surface is in contact with each other, the frictional force generated between them can be reduced. As a result, the nut member 264 can reduce the influence of the frictional force received from the inner peripheral surface of the non-engaging hole portion 260A that comes into contact, and can make the nut member 264 easier to rotate.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the present invention has been described by taking as an example a configuration in which the present invention is applied to the main control board case set 210 that accommodates the main control board 102. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The present invention can also be easily applied to cases that accommodate boards related to other games, such as the case set 212, the payout control board case set 202, the launch control board case set 204, and the power board case set 208.
