As described above, since the length L1 is longer than the width L2, the upper cover (predetermined protrusion) 115 of the ball guide nozzle 45 and the display member receiving portion are connected to each other. Since the length L1 of the lower shaft portion (shaft member) 121 is longer than the vertical width L2 of the gap 143 formed between the e-ring 141 and the portion 109, for example, if the e-ring 141 or the like comes off unexpectedly for some reason. Also, there is no problem that the lower shaft portion (shaft member) 121 falls.
The width of the gap L2 in the vertical direction is not limited to the width illustrated in the present embodiment, and may be any configuration as long as the width is such that the lower shaft (shaft member) 121 does not fall off. The design can be arbitrarily changed within the scope of the present invention.
Further, since the above-described configuration is employed, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized player from attempting to pull out the shaft member 121 for an unauthorized purpose.
Then, at the time of maintenance of the display member 53, if the upper cover 115 of the ball guide nozzle portion 45 is removed, the display member can be easily removed by removing the shaft member 121.

  In this embodiment, the gap is filled with the protruding piece 99a of the rear cover 99 to prevent fraud (see FIG. 9).

(B) shows the gap 153 between the first projections 151 existing between the adjacent first holding hole 149a and the second holding hole 149b, and the guide shaft 95 pushes the gap 153 to the second holding hole 149b. And the expansion / contraction slit 155 provided along the holding portion 147 changes from the first state (natural state where no force is applied) 157 to the second state (state where force is applied and crushed) 159 shows a deformed state.

That is, according to the present embodiment, in the state of FIG. 7A, the display member 53 rotates so as to face the player most (the monitor unit 79 faces the player most), and The guide shaft 95 is held in the holding hole 149a of the display device 53. When the guide shaft 95 is in this state, the display device 53 is provided so as to be positioned within the width of the main body 63 between devices.
Note that the state in which the display member 53 is most oriented toward the player may be the state in which the display unit 53 and the monitor 79 are oriented most toward the gaming machine. Further, it is assumed that the visibility of the monitor unit 79 is changed by the movement (or rotation) of the display unit 53, but the present invention is not limited to this. In addition to the movement, the monitor unit 79 may be able to move (or rotate). Since the visibility can be further changed by moving the monitor unit 79 in addition to the movement of the display unit 53 in this manner, the visibility is adjusted to a position where the player can most easily see (or the visibility that suits the purpose). Is provided).

  In addition, in the present embodiment, since the one side surface 145a of the locking member 145 is formed in an inclined shape, when the display member 53 is attached, the one side surface 145a is used as a guide surface (guide surface) for display. Since the member 53 can be attached and guided, the attachment is easy and improved (see FIG. 6).

Accordingly, the display member 53 inserts the upper shaft portion 91 of the upper end into the bearing hole 117 and pushes the lower end of the display member 53 along the inclined one side surface 145 a of the locking member 145. In a state where the second bearing hole 139 of the lower receiving portion 113, the third bearing hole 160 of the locking member 145, and the bearing lower hole 117 of the display member 53 communicate with each other, The lower shaft (shaft member) 121 is inserted from the outside of the two bearing hole 139.
At this time, the guide shaft 95 is fitted into a predetermined holding hole (for example, a first holding hole 149a) in the holding portion 147 of the locking member 145.

Then, the locking shaft portion 131 and the retaining portion 133 of the lower shaft portion (shaft member) 121 project into the display member 53, and lock the e-ring 141 to the locking shaft portion 131.
Further, a wiring member 85 such as a harness connected to the substrate 81 in the display member 53 is guided from the second through hole 87 of the rear member 75 to the inside of the front middle portion 43. At this time, since the wiring member 85 and the like are shielded from the outside by the cover portion 89 provided on the back member 75, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized player or the like from trying to make a mistake on the wiring member 85 or the like.

When the display member 53 is rotated to a predetermined position, the guide shaft 95 moves from the predetermined holding hole 149 (for example, the first holding hole 149a) to the holding portion in accordance with the turning operation of the display member 53. By moving to another predetermined holding hole (for example, second holding hole 149b) located in the continuous groove direction of 147 and being held in the holding hole (for example, second holding hole 149b), the display is performed. The member 53 is held in a state of being rotated at a predetermined angle.
That is, when the guide shaft 95 moves from the holding hole (for example, the first holding hole 149a) to the holding hole (for example, the second holding hole 149b), the guide shaft 95 pushes the gap 153 between the protrusions 151. When the guide shaft 95 passes through the gap 153 between the projections 151 to move while expanding, the width of the gap 153 between the projections 151 is smaller than the maximum diameter of the guide shaft 95, so that the rotation of the display member 53 is reduced. As long as a predetermined force in the moving direction is not applied, the guide shaft 95 is held in the holding hole (for example, the second holding hole 149b). Therefore, the movement of the display member 53 is restricted. At this time, a force is generated by which the guide shaft 95 pushes the gap 153 between the protrusions 151, but the force can be absorbed by the expansion slit 155.

  The present invention relates to a gaming device, for example, an inter-apparatus apparatus (apparatus corresponding to each apparatus, which is disposed adjacent to a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine machine and includes at least a display member capable of displaying game information and the like). Gaming machines).
