In addition, after the second starting condition is satisfied by the game ball winning the second starting winning opening or the like, the second starting condition is satisfied by, for example, ending the previous special map game or big hitting game state. Based on this, the special figure game using the second special symbol display 4B is started.

  In the special figure game, after the variable display of the special symbol is started, a fixed special symbol (special figure display result) is derived and displayed when the variable display time elapses. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed, the result is "big hit" as a specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, "miss". After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to a big hit game state as a specific game state in which a round (also called “round game”) advantageous to the player is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the big hit game state, the special winning prize ball device 7 has a special winning opening door for a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 seconds) or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of prize balls. During the period until the event occurs, the special winning opening is kept open. As a result, a round in which the special variable winning ball device 7 is placed in the first state (open state) which is advantageous for the player is executed.

  The special winning opening door, which has the special winning opening opened during the execution of the round, receives game balls falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closes the special winning opening to form a special variable winning prize ball device. 7 is changed to a second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is ended. The round, which is the opening cycle of the special winning opening, can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”).

  In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the effect display device 5, the variation display of the effect symbols is started in response to the start of the special figure game. Then, during the period from the start of the variable display of the effect symbol to the end of the variable display, the variable display state of the effect symbol may reach a predetermined reach state. The reach state is a display in which the effect symbols stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 constitute a part of the big hit combination, and the effect symbols that have not been stopped and displayed are still changing. A state or a display state in which all or some of the effect symbols are synchronously fluctuating while forming all or a part of the big hit combination.

  As a fixed special symbol in the special figure game, a fixed effect symbol that is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as a “non-probable variable big hit combination”) of a plurality of types of big hit combinations is stopped and displayed, and the fluctuation display result is “non-probable variable big hit”. ", The state is controlled to the big hit state, and after the end, time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time saving control, the fluctuation display time (special figure fluctuation time) of the special symbol in the special figure game is shortened as compared with the normal state. In the time-saving control, a so-called electric chew support, in which the winning frequency of the ordinary symbols is increased and the winning frequency to the ordinary variable winning ball apparatus 6B is increased. In the time-saving control, a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) of the special figure game is executed after the end of the big hitting game state, and either of the conditions is satisfied that the variable display result is “big hit”. Sometimes, it may be ended.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, a determined effect symbol that is a predetermined probability variable jackpot combination (also referred to as a “variable probability jackpot combination”) among a plurality of types of jackpot combinations is stopped and displayed, and the fluctuation display result is “probability variable jackpot”. If it does, it is controlled to the big hit state, and after that, the probability variation control (probable variation control) is performed together with the time saving control. By performing the certainty change control, the probability that the change display result is "big hit" in each special figure game is improved so as to be higher than that in the normal state. Probable change control is performed when the change display result becomes “big hit” after the big hit game state is completed and the condition of controlling the big hit game state is satisfied again. When the special map game is executed, the probability change control is ended by the probability variable lottery executed each time the special map game is started after the big hit game state is ended, and the "determinate fall" is determined. It may end at time, etc.

  When the time-saving control is performed, the control for making the fluctuation time of the ordinary symbol in the ordinary figure game (the ordinary figure fluctuation time) shorter than that in the normal state, and the fluctuation display result of the ordinary symbol in each ordinary figure game becomes The control for improving the probability of "hit" than in the normal state, and the movement control time for performing the movement control of the movable plate in the ordinary variable winning ball device 6B based on the fact that the variable display result is "normal drawing" is normally Possibility that the second starting condition is satisfied by making it easier for the game ball to pass (enter) the second starting winning opening, such as control to make it longer than in the state and control to increase the number of movements than in the normal state. (Control of electric tue support, high opening control) that is advantageous for the player by increasing As a result, the second starting condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure is easily satisfied, and the special figure game can be frequently executed. The time until it becomes shorter.

The fitting portion 288 of the second peripheral wall portion 253a is fitted inside the projection 287 of the first peripheral wall portion 252a, and the screw N4 is screwed into the screw hole 287a from the rear side through the hole portion 288a. The first cylindrical body 252 and the second cylindrical body 253 are connected. As described above, the second peripheral wall portion 253a is connected to the first peripheral wall portion 252a on the upper side by the four screws N1 and the four screws N4, and on the lower side by the five screws N1. That is, the second peripheral wall portion 253a is attached to the first peripheral wall portion 252a by more screws (attachment means) on the upper side than on the lower side.

  Specifically, as in the present embodiment, in the case of the second component 250 having an inclined position in which the upper end is inclined forward, a load is more likely to be applied to the upper side than to the lower side. The upper portion of the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a are likely to be distorted, but the upper portions of the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a are connected by more screws than the lower portions. It is possible to minimize the distortion generated on the upper portion of the second peripheral wall portion 253a.

  In the present embodiment, the upper side is attached to the first peripheral wall portion 252a with more screws than the lower side, but when the first cylindrical body 252 and the second cylindrical body 253 are connected, If the fitting portion 288 of the second peripheral wall portion 253a fits inside the protrusion 287 of the first peripheral wall portion 252a, the connection strength of the upper portion between the first cylindrical body 252 and the second cylindrical body 253 is increased. The configuration of the screw N4 may be omitted.

  In the present embodiment, in the tubular portion composed of the first tubular body 252 and the second tubular body 253, the front-back length of the lower wall is extremely shorter than the front-back length of the upper wall. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the front and rear lengths of the upper wall and the lower wall may be substantially the same, or the front and rear length of the upper wall may be the same as the front and rear of the lower wall. It may be shorter than the length. Further, the cylindrical portion may not be provided along the entire periphery of the front transmission plate 251, but may be an arch portion along a part of the periphery of the front transmission plate 251.

  When the first tubular body 252 and the second tubular body 253 are assembled, the holes 257L, 257R and the holes 259L, 259R are arranged corresponding to each other, and the holes 257L, 257R and The holes 259L, 259R are closed by cover members 273L, 273R from the front side (see FIGS. 6 to 9).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, a window 259a having transparency is formed in a part of the hole 259R of the second cylindrical body 253, and on both left and right sides of the hole 259R, Boss receivers 259b and 259c are formed. The cover member 273R is formed to have a size capable of closing the hole 257R of the first cylindrical body 252, and bosses 273b and 273c that can be inserted into the boss receivers 259b and 259c are formed on both left and right sides, and the right side is formed. Has a hole 273d into which the window 259a can be inserted.

  The cover member 273R inserts the bosses 273b and 273c into the boss receivers 259b and 259c of the second cylindrical body 253 via the hole 257R of the first cylindrical body 252, and the back side of the boss receivers 259b and 259c (the game area). 10) is attached by screwing a screw N2 from the side. That is, since the first tubular body 252 is attached so as to be sandwiched between the cover member 273R and the second tubular body 253 from the front and rear, the connection strength of the second component 250 is improved. Note that the mounting structure of the hole 257L, the hole 259L, and the cover member 273L is substantially the same as the mounting structure of the hole 257R, the hole 259R, and the cover member 273R, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 21, when the open / close frame 50 to which the window unit 51A is attached is in a closed state, a certificate stamp SS (a third party on which the date of manufacture etc. is written) attached to the game board 2 is provided. (Issued by the institution) is disposed on the back side of the hole 257R and the hole 259R. The certificate stamp SS can be viewed from the front side (specifically, diagonally upper left) through the window 259a having transparency.

  In addition, in the window unit 51A of the present embodiment, a mode in which no effect members such as LED lighting and an image display device (for example, a projector) are installed in the window unit 51A is illustrated. Although 257R and holes 259L and 259R are closed by cover members 273L and 273R, for example, when an effect member is installed in the window unit 51A, the cover members 273L and 273R are removed and the sound is emitted from the effect member. It may be used as a heat dissipation hole for discharging the heat to the outside.

  As shown in FIG. 22, each mounting piece 262 e of the first component 260 is inserted into the recess 256 e of each mounting piece 256 d of the second component 250, and the slit 262 g of the first component 260 is engaged with the second component 250. The first component 260 and the second component 250 are assembled by fitting into the stop member 285 and operating and locking the locking member 285 (the window unit 51A is configured).

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 23A, the recess 256e of the mounting piece 256d has an opening 256j formed on the front side, and the mounting piece 262e of the first component 260 is formed by a rear transmission plate. 261 is bent from the back side to the front side and extends further downward from the front end thereof, so that the attachment piece 262e of the first component 260 can be easily inserted obliquely using the opening 256j. ing.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 23 (B), the first component 260 is rotated about the contact point between the lower end of the attachment piece 262e and the bottom wall of the recess 256e as a fulcrum, and the locking member 285 is inserted into the slit 262g. Insert That is, the first component 260 is temporarily installed on the second component 250. Since the slit 262g is formed in a shape corresponding to the locking member 285 at the first rotation position, when the first component 260 is temporarily installed on the second component 250, the It is necessary to set the stop member 285 to the first rotation position.

  When the first component part 260 is temporarily installed with respect to the second component part 250, the mounting piece 262e comes into contact with the rear wall of the concave part 256e, but the reaction force of the mounting piece 262e causes the first component part 260 and the second component The distance between the upper end portions of the portion 250 and the portion 250 is separated by the dimension L1. Note that the provisionally installed state of the first component part 260 and the second component part 250 is a natural state in which the attachment piece 262e is only engaged with the concave part 256e, that is, the first component part 260 cannot be pressed by hand or the like. Refers to the state.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 23C, the first component 260 is pressed so that the upper ends of the first component 260 and the second component 250 come into contact with each other, and in this state, the locking member 285 is pressed. By moving from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, the first component 260 and the second component 250 are assembled without any gap. When the locking member 285 is in the second rotation position, the concave portion 285b is fitted into the protruding portion 262j protruding from the frame 262 of the first component portion 260 to the rear side, and the projection portion 285c on the front side is formed. Is in contact with the inner surface of the slit 262g, and further rotation to the right (tilting to the side opposite to the first rotation position) is restricted, and the locking member 285 is held at the second rotation position. Further, when the locking state of the locking member 285 is released, the first component 260 can be removed from the second component 250.

  In addition, by pressing the first component 260 so that the upper ends of the first component 260 and the second component 250 come into contact with each other from the temporary installation state of the first component 260 and the second component 250, The attachment piece 262e is elastically deformed forward. According to this, in a state where the first component part 260 and the second component part 250 are assembled, the attachment piece 262e is elastically moved by moving the locking member 285 from the second pivot position to the first pivot position. In order to return, the first component 260 and the second component 250 return to the temporary installation state. That is, since the distance between the upper ends of the first component 260 and the second component 250 is separated by the dimension L1, the gap between the upper ends of the first component 260 and the second component 250 is used. Thus, the first component 260 can be easily removed from the second component 250.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 24, the first configuration is such that the upper ends of the first component 260 and the second component 250 are in contact with each other from the temporary installation state of the first component 260 and the second component 250. When the part 260 is pressed, the locking part 286 of the second component 250 is locked to the locked part 262h of the first component 260. More specifically, the locked portion 262h has a tubular shape, and the locking portion 286 is elastically locked to an end of the locked portion 262h on the opposite side to the insertion direction. ing. As described above, since the locking portion 286 and the locked portion 262h are locked, the movement of the first component 260 and the second component 250 in the separating direction is regulated, and thus the first configuration It is possible to prevent rattling between the part 260 and the second component part 250.

  The locking portion 286 has a front surface side (a contact surface with the locked portion 262h in the locked state) of the hook portion inclined in a direction in which the locking between the locking portion 286 and the locked portion 262h is released. Therefore, the locking state between the locking portion 286 and the locked portion 262h can be easily released by pulling the first component 260 in a direction to separate from the second component 250.

  As described above, the reinforcing plate 258 made of a metal plate is disposed between the inner peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body 252 and the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical body 253. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 25, the reinforcing plate 258 has a fitting portion 289 that fits inside the projection 287 of the first peripheral wall portion 252a, and the second plate is provided inside the fitting portion 289. The fitting portion 288 of the peripheral wall portion 253a is fitted. Therefore, since the reinforcing plate 258 is placed on the second peripheral wall portion 253a, it does not drop downward, and moves in the circumferential direction by fitting the fitting portion 289 to the protrusion 287 and the fitting portion 288. Is regulated (positioned).

  In the present embodiment, the decorative portion is provided by plating on the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body 252 and the inner peripheral surface of the second cylindrical body 253, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the decorative portion may be configured by coloring the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical body 252 and the inner peripheral surface of the second cylindrical body 253 or providing a pattern.

  As shown in FIG. 25, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is viewed from the front (on the player side), the rear transmission plate 261 covers the entire game area 10 surrounded by the guide rails 2b on the game board 200A of the board 200. And the hole 270 is arranged at a position corresponding to the opening 2 c formed in the board 200.

  In the present embodiment, the game area 10 is an area in which a game ball can flow down, that is, a flow-down area 10A (except for the opening 2c in the area surrounded by the guide rails 2b in the game board 200A of the board 200). 25, a non-falling region 10B corresponding to the opening 2c (a region indicated by a downward-sloping oblique line in FIG. 25), that is, a fluctuating display section of the effect display device 5 capable of displaying a fluctuating pattern. And a region for allowing the player to visually recognize the movable body 300 and the like. Further, the center decoration frame 52 is provided in the opening 2c, thereby restricting a game ball from flowing into the opening 2c.

  In the present embodiment, the hole 270 has a different shape and a smaller size from the opening 2c formed in the board 200, and is provided at a position corresponding to the opening 2c. The shape is not limited to this, and may be formed substantially in the same shape as the hole 270, or a portion may be located outside the opening 2c.

  Therefore, the game area 10 configured in this manner is a space formed between the board 200 and the rear transmission plate 261 and is an area surrounded by the guide rail 2b, and forms the window 51. Through the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261, the player can visually recognize (see through) the pachinko gaming machine 1 from the player side.

  When the first component 260 and the second component 250 are assembled, the projecting pieces 262a and 262b of the first component 260 and the projecting pieces 256b and 256c of the second component 250 are assembled. , 256k are arranged at different positions so as not to overlap each other. According to this, when the first component 260 and the second component 250 are separated, the projecting pieces of the first component 260 and the second component 250 can be separately and simultaneously grasped. It is easy to separate the first component 260 and the second component 250. Further, since there is no need to directly touch the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261, it is possible to prevent fingerprints from being attached to the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261.

  As shown in FIG. 26, in a state in which the first component 260 and the second component 250 are assembled, the rear transmission plate 261 is installed in an upright state so as to be substantially vertical, while the front transmission plate 261 is installed. The plate 251 is disposed in a forwardly inclined posture that is inclined with respect to the rear transmission plate 261 so as to be gradually inclined rearward from above to below. For this reason, the distance L3 below the distance L2 above the rear transmission plate 261 is shorter (L2> L3).

  In addition, the dimension of at least the portion of the front-to-back plate 251 and the rear-side transmission plate 261 in the front-rear direction where the separation width is the largest is larger than the thickness of the front-side transmission plate 251 and the rear-side transmission plate 261 and the Larger than the diameter of the sphere.

  Further, as described above, the front transmission plate 251 has a rear peripheral edge fixed to the front surface of the second holding portion 253b of the second cylindrical body 253 via an adhesive or the like. The upper end of the second peripheral wall portion 253a of the second cylindrical body 253 protrudes forward by a dimension L4 from the front surface of the front transmission plate 251. The first holding portion 252b in the upper part of the first cylindrical body 252 includes: The second peripheral wall portion 253a extends rearward from the front end by the dimension L5. The dimension L4 of the upper end of the second peripheral wall portion 253a is formed to be larger than the front-rear dimension L5 of the upper end of the first holding portion 252b (L4> L5). In other words, the rear surface of the first holding portion 252b above the first cylindrical body 252 is slightly separated from the front surface of the upper end of the front transmission plate 251 by a distance of L6 forward and is not in contact with the first holding member 252b. A slight gap is formed between the portion 252b and the front transmission plate 251.

  As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the width of the second peripheral wall portion 253a protruding forward from the front transmission plate 251 and the front and rear width of the first holding portion 252b (the second peripheral wall portion of the first holding portion 252b). Since the portion extending rearward from the front end of the front transmission plate 251a is gradually reduced downward at substantially the same reduction ratio, the first holding portion 252b is dimensioned at any of the front side peripheral edges of the front transmission plate 251. It is separated forward by L6.

  Further, since the front opening of the second component 250 is larger than the rear opening, the upper portions (the roof portions) of the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a are inclined forward and forward. (See FIG. 26), the left and right sides of the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a are inclined forward toward the center in the left-right direction.

  Next, the relationship between the window unit 51A and the opening / closing frame 50 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 28 is a perspective view of the structure of the opening / closing frame as viewed obliquely from behind. FIG. 29 is a side sectional view showing a state before the window unit is attached to the opening / closing frame. FIG. 30 is a side sectional view showing a state after the window unit is attached to the opening / closing frame. FIG. 31 is a plan sectional view showing a state before the window unit is mounted on the opening / closing frame. FIGS. 32A and 32B are explanatory views showing a procedure for attaching the window unit to the opening / closing frame. FIG. 33 is a side sectional view showing a state in which the opening / closing frame is closed. FIG. 34 is a plan sectional view showing a state in which the opening / closing frame is closed.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the opening / closing frame 50 has an opening 50a into which the tubular portion (first peripheral wall 252a and second peripheral wall 253a) of the window unit 51A can be inserted. At the periphery of the opening 50a on the back surface, there is formed a recess 50b (see a halftone dot area in the figure) into which the frame 262 of the first component 260 and the flange 256 of the second component 250 can be inserted. A window holding member 50A is disposed on the periphery of the concave portion 50b on the back surface of the opening / closing frame 50 (upper left and right sides and lower left side of the concave portion 50b).

  A metal frame 54 extending in the left-right direction is fixed below the opening 50a on the back surface of the opening / closing frame 50. The frame 54 has a slit into which the mounting piece 256d of the window unit 51A can be inserted. Two 54a are formed apart from each other in the left-right direction.

  The window holding member 50A has a through hole formed at one end thereof, and the through hole is inserted into a rotating shaft 50c protruding from the back surface of the opening / closing frame 50, so that the window unit 51A is attached when the window unit 51A is attached. It can be changed between a lock release position that does not interfere with 51A and a lock position that locks with the window unit 51A. In the vicinity of the window holding member 50A on the back surface of the opening / closing frame 50, a projection 50d that fits into a recess provided at the tip of the window holding member 50A when the window holding member 50A is at the unlocking position. A projection 50e that fits into a recess provided at the tip of the window holding member 50A when the window holding member 50A is at the locking position.

  As shown in FIGS. 29 and 31, when attaching the window unit 51A to the opening / closing frame 50, the window unit 51A is inserted with the mounting pieces 256d of the window unit 51A inserted into the slits 54a of the frame 54. The tubular part is inserted into the opening 50a.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 32A, first, each mounting piece 256d of the window unit 51A is inserted into each of the slits 54a of the frame 54 from an oblique direction on the rear side (the dashed line in FIG. 32A). Section). Then, the upper end of the window unit 51A is rotated forward with the attachment piece 256d as a fulcrum, and the window unit 51A is temporarily installed on the opening / closing frame 50. At this time, in order to avoid interference with the window holding member 50A, the window holding member 50A is set to the unlocked position. As described above, since the lower edges of the front end and the rear end of the mounting piece 256d are chamfered, the mounting piece 256d can be easily inserted into the slit 54a of the frame 54, and the window unit 51A can be turned around the mounting piece 256d as a fulcrum. It is easy to move.

  In this manner, by inserting the mounting piece 256d into the slit 54a, the window unit 51A can be temporarily installed by being rotated while the load of the window unit 51A is received by the frame 54. The mounting work of the unit 51A is easy.

  When the window unit 51A is temporarily installed on the opening / closing frame 50, the mounting piece 256d is locked to the front edge of the slit 54a, and the window unit 51A is tilted rearward. The distance between the upper ends of the window unit 51A and the opening / closing frame 50 is separated by the dimension L7.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 32 (B), the window unit 51A is pressed from the rear side so that the upper ends of the window unit 51A and the opening / closing frame 50 come into contact with each other, and the window holding member 50A is locked in that state. By moving from the release position to the locking position, the window holding member 50A is locked to the projecting pieces 256b, 256c, 256k of the second component 250, and the window unit 51A is assembled to the opening / closing frame 50.

  When the window unit 51A is assembled to the opening / closing frame 50, the projections 50e projecting from the back surface of the opening / closing frame 50 have holes (not shown) provided in the projecting pieces 256b, 256c, 256k, respectively. Through the projections 256b, 256c, and 256k, and fits into the recess of the window holding member 50A. As a result, the state in which the window holding member 50A locks the window unit 51A (the state where the window unit 51A is at the locking position) is maintained.

  Further, as described above, since the upper portion of the window unit 51A is larger than the lower portion and protrudes forward, the window unit 51A and the opening / closing frame 50 are assembled in a state where there is no gap. Is easy for the window unit 51A to fall forward with the mounting piece 256d as the center. Therefore, even if the window holding member 50A is returned to the unlocked position, that is, the locked state with the window unit 51A is released, the state where there is no gap between the window unit 51A and the opening / closing frame 50 is maintained.

  When removing the window unit 51A from the opening / closing frame 50, the window holding member 50A is returned to the unlocked position, and the window unit 51A is pressed from the front side to the rear side. By returning to the installation state (see FIG. 32A), the upper end portions of the window unit 51A and the opening / closing frame 50 are separated by the dimension L7, so that the window unit 51A can be gripped and removed.

  As described above, since the window unit 51A (particularly, the second component 250) can be removed from the opening / closing frame 50, maintenance properties such as cleaning of the opening / closing frame 50 and the second component 250 are improved. Further, for example, when the opening / closing frame 50 is largely opened, for example, in the case of removing the gaming board 2 from the gaming machine frame 3 for replacement or maintenance, the window unit 51A protrudes greatly forward from the gaming machine frame 3. Therefore, it interferes with a card unit (gaming device) that can execute a lending process for renting out an adjacent pachinko game machine or a game ball or a counting process for a game ball, and it is difficult to greatly open the device. Since the window unit 51A of the embodiment can be detached from the opening / closing frame 50, the opening / closing frame 50 can be largely opened.

  Further, the window holding member 50A is locked by the protruding pieces 256b, 256c, 256k of the second component 250 at the locking position, and is not locked (does not contact) by the first component 260. (Especially, see the right figure in FIG. 32B). According to this, since the window holding member 50A does not affect the first component 260, for example, while the second component 250 is being locked by the window holding member 50A, the first component by the locking member 285 is retained. The locked state between the second component 250 and the second component 250 is released (the locking member 285 is changed from the second pivot position to the first pivot position), and only the first component 260 is removed from the second component 250. be able to. As described above, only the first component 260 can be removed without removing the second component 250 from the opening / closing frame 50, so that the maintainability of the window 51 is improved.

  Returning to FIG. 29 and FIG. 31, the side portion of the opening / closing frame 50 is formed such that the lower front-rear dimension L9 is shorter than the upper front-rear dimension L8, and the front side is used for production. Side lamps 55L and 55R are provided. The front and rear dimensions L8 and L9 indicate the thickness from the front surface of the concave portion 50b in the opening / closing frame 50 to the front surface of the side edge portion of the opening / closing frame 50.

  As shown in FIGS. 30 and 32, when the window unit 51A is mounted on the opening / closing frame 50, the tubular portion of the window unit 51A projects forward from the side lamps 55L and 55R. I have. That is, the upper separation distance L2 between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 in the window unit 51A (the front-to-rear dimension at the top of the window unit 51A) is equal to the upper front-to-back dimension L8 at the side of the opening and closing frame 50. (L2 <L8). The distance L3 between the lower part of the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 of the window unit 51A (the lower front-rear dimension of the window unit 51A) is the lower front-rear dimension L9 of the side of the opening / closing frame 50. It is larger (L3 <L9). As described above, the window unit 51A projects forward from the side lamps 55L and 55R, so that the player can feel the depth.

  The upper plate 90 described above is provided below the window unit 51A. Since the upper plate 90 is open at the top and allows game balls for playing a game to be inserted, if the window unit 51A projects above the upper plate 90, it interferes with the insertion of the game balls. . The window unit 51A is provided so as to protrude forward from a member forming the upper plate 90. Therefore, the front transmission plate 251 is rearwardly directed downward from above so that the upper end is located forward of the front end of the member forming the upper plate 90 and the lower end is located behind the upper plate 90. It is arranged to be inclined.

  As shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, when the front face of the gaming machine frame 3 is closed by the opening / closing frame 50 to which the window unit 51A is assembled, a part (predetermined portion) on the front side of the movable body 300 is closed. It is arranged in a space S formed between the first component 260 and the second component 250 via the hole 270 of the first component 260.

  More specifically, the movable body 300 is configured to be movable from a diagonally upper back side to a diagonally lower front side by a predetermined driving unit (not shown). The movable body 300 has a standby position (see a solid line portion in FIG. 33) arranged above the game board 2 by the driving means, and a production position (two points in FIG. 33) arranged in the center side of the game board 2. A part of the front side of the movable body 300 is disposed in the space S at both the standby position and the production position.

  In addition, since the movable body 300 reaches the production position by moving obliquely forward and downward from the standby position, the projecting dimension of the movable body 300 into the space S at the production position is the same as the movable body 300 at the standby position. Is larger than the protrusion size into the space S. That is, since the movable body 300 can move in the front-back direction using the space S, the impact can be given to the player.

  As shown in the enlarged portion of FIG. 34, when the front face of the gaming machine frame 3 is closed by the opening / closing frame 50 to which the window unit 51A is assembled, the projections 262c and 262d of the first component 260 become Is pressed against the front surface of the board holding portion 31 provided at the left end of the gaming machine frame 3 (only the protrusion 262c is shown). According to this, the first component 260 is pressed against the opening / closing frame 50 (more specifically, the concave portion 50b) by the reaction force against which the protrusions 262c and 262d are pressed against the front surface of the board holding portion 31, so that the window unit 51A is The strength of assembly with the opening / closing frame 50 is improved. That is, since it is difficult to form a gap between the window unit 51A and the opening / closing frame 50, it is possible to suppress insertion of foreign matter from between the window unit 51A and the opening / closing frame 50 as described later.

  The outer rail decorative member 2d is formed so as to be continuous in the circumferential direction on the outside of the guide rail 2b. When the open / close frame 50 to which the window unit 51A is assembled closes the front surface of the gaming machine frame 3. Since the front end of the outer rail decorative member 2d is in contact with the back surface of the rear transmission plate 261, the vibration of the rear transmission plate 261 can be effectively suppressed.

  The front end of the center decoration frame 52 attached to the opening 2 c of the game board 2 is close to the vicinity of the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261, and a game ball is provided between the center decoration frame 52 and the rear transmission plate 261. Is not allowed to pass. That is, a flow-down area 10A in which the game ball in the game area 10 flows down is formed between the center decorative frame 52 and the outer rail decoration member 2d (guide rail 2b) between the game board 2 and the rear transmission plate 261.

  Although not particularly shown, the gaming machine frame 3 is formed with a protruding piece (closure preventing portion) that interferes with the window holding member 50A at the unlocked position. Specifically, when the window holding member 50A is in the non-locked state of the window unit 51A, the window holding member 50A interferes with the projecting piece so that the opening / closing frame 50 cannot be closed. I have. According to this, it is possible to prevent the opening / closing frame 50 from being closed when the window unit 51A is not locked by the window holding member 50A.

  In this embodiment, an example is shown in which the opening / closing frame 50 cannot be physically closed because the projecting piece (closing preventing portion) of the gaming machine frame 3 interferes with the window holding member 50A at the unlocked position. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the opening / closing frame 50 is closed when the window holding member 50A is at a position other than the locked position (including the unlocked position), The open / close switch connected to the substrate 11 may not be changed to the closed state of the open / close frame 50. In this case, even if the opening / closing frame 50 is closed, the effect control CPU 120 keeps the window unit 51A locked so as to continuously execute processing (such as error notification) indicating that the opening / closing frame 50 is open. It is possible to prevent the opening / closing frame 50 from being closed in the absence state.

  Next, means for suppressing improper behavior will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 35A is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a fraudulent activity that may be performed in the window unit, and FIG. 35B is an explanatory diagram showing means for suppressing the fraudulent activity in the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (A), in the pachinko gaming machine 1 having the window unit 51A protruding forward from the open / close frame 50, for example, the protruding portion (tubular portion) of the window unit 51A A hole H communicating from the outside into the space S is pierced by a tool capable of generating heat (for example, a soldering iron), and a wire LN (foreign matter) such as a piano wire is passed through the hole H in the game area 10. Unauthorized acts such as accessing the normal winning prize ball device 6A, the normal variable winning prize ball device 6B, the special variable winning prize ball device 7, and the like related to the prize may be performed by being inserted into the flow-down area 10A.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (B), in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, since the foreign matter entry preventing member 280 is attached to the hole 270 of the rear transmission plate 261, the wire LN is inserted through the hole 270. Can be suppressed from entering the falling area 10A.

  Specifically, the first wall portion 281 of the foreign matter entry blocking member 280 is disposed along the peripheral edge of the hole 270 on the front side. That is, since a step corresponding to the thickness of the first wall portion 281 is formed on the peripheral edge on the front side of the hole 270, access to the hole 270 of the wire LN1 inserted along the front surface of the rear transmission plate 261 is suppressed. it can. Further, since the second wall portion 282 of the foreign matter entry preventing member 280 extends rearward from the rear surface of the rear transmission plate 261, access of the wire LN <b> 2 inserted from the hole 270 to the flow-down region 10 </ b> A is suppressed. it can.

  Further, in the closed state of the opening / closing frame 50, the rear end face X1 of the second wall portion 282 of the foreign matter entry preventing member 280 is disposed behind the front end face X2 of the center decorative frame 52. According to this, in order for the wire LN2 to reach the flow-down area 10A, it must cross the front end face X2 of the center decorative frame 52 after crossing the rear end face X1 of the second wall portion 282 of the foreign matter entry preventing member 280. . In other words, since it is necessary to move the wire LN2 so as to meander back and forth, it is extremely difficult for foreign matter to enter the downflow area 10A.

  As described above, the reinforcing plate 258 made of a metal plate is sandwiched between the first peripheral wall 252a of the first cylindrical body 252 and the second peripheral wall 253a of the second cylindrical body 253. (See FIG. 25). Therefore, it is possible to suppress a fraudulent act of forming a hole H or the like in the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a and allowing a foreign substance to enter therethrough.

  The front end of the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the front end of the second peripheral wall portion 253a protrude forward from the front transmission plate 251 (see FIG. 26), and a hole H is formed in the protruding portion. Although there is a possibility that a foreign matter such as a wire is inserted from the portion H, the front transmission plate 251 is fixed to the front surface of the second holding portion 253b of the second cylindrical body 253 via an adhesive or the like. It is possible to prevent foreign matter from entering the rear side (the game board 2 side) of the transmission plate 251.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 35 (B), in the closed state of the opening / closing frame 50, the second wall portion 282 of the foreign matter entry preventing member 280 and the center decorative frame 52 are separated by a dimension L10. That is, when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened / closed, contact between the foreign matter entry preventing member 280 and the center decoration frame 52 can be avoided, so that the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing frame 50 can be performed smoothly.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the second component 250 is formed in a convex shape protruding forward with respect to the rear transmission plate 261 constituting the first component 260. When the window unit 51A is attached to the opening / closing frame 50, the peripheral wall portion including the first tubular body 252 and the second tubular body 253 is inserted into the opening 50a of the opening / closing frame 50 from the back side. It is provided so as to protrude forward.

  Accordingly, the rear transmission plate 261 that forms the game area 10 together with the game board surface 200A is accommodated within the thickness of the opening / closing frame 50 in the front-rear direction, while the peripheral wall portion is provided so as to project forward with respect to the front surface of the opening / closing frame 50. Thus, the front transmission plate 251 can be arranged as far as possible forward from the rear transmission plate 261 without lengthening the front and rear dimensions of the opening / closing frame 50. Thereby, a wide space S can be formed between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261.

  The upper wall portions of the first cylindrical body 252 and the second cylindrical body 253 are formed so as to be inclined downward toward the front, and external light from the upper front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is transmitted to the game area 10. Because it is difficult to enter, the front of the upper part of the game area 10 is hidden by the upper wall, but since the player's line of sight is located below the upper wall, it is visible when looking up.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, a magnetic sensor is malfunctioned by pressing a magnet against the front transmission plate 251 to generate a prize illegally, or a game ball flowing down the game area 10 is caused by a magnetic force. Although there is a possibility that an improper action such as inducing an illegal operation may be performed, by increasing the separation dimensions L2 and L3 between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 without increasing the thickness of the rear transmission plate 261. Since the front transmission plate 251 can be kept away from the game area 10 as much as possible to attenuate the influence of the magnetic force of the magnet, fraudulent acts by the magnet can be suitably suppressed. Further, in a gaming machine equipped with a magnet sensor for detecting illegal magnetism, the above-mentioned misconduct can be prevented by increasing the distance between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261 in a range that cannot be detected by the magnet sensor. It is possible to reduce the number of magnet sensors and reduce the number of magnet sensors.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention includes an opening / closing frame 50 having a window portion 51 for visually recognizing the game area 10, and the window portion 51 is a rear light transmitting portion as a first transmitting portion. It has a first component part 260 as a first component part having a plate 261 and a front transmission plate 251 as a second transmission part different from the rear transmission plate 261. And a second component 250 as a second component formed to protrude to the opposite side (front side). The first component 260 is opened and closed with the second component 250 in the open / close frame 50. It is removable from the frame 50.

  By doing so, only the first component 260 can be removed without removing the second component 250 from the opening / closing frame 50, so that the maintainability of the window 51 is improved.

  More specifically, in the window unit 51A of the present embodiment, the front transmission plate 251 is inclined so as to protrude forward with respect to the rear transmission plate 261 upward. Since the second component portion 250 has a configuration protruding forward, the distance between the rear transmission plate 261 and the front transmission plate 251 is at least larger than the diameter of the game ball, and furthermore, the rear transmission plate 261 and the front transmission plate 251 are formed. Are separated from each other by about 100 mm or more. Therefore, the space between the rear transmission plate 261 and the front transmission plate 251 is larger than the space of the window unit having the conventional double glass structure, and the space between the rear transmission plate 261 and the front transmission plate 251 is large. The first peripheral wall 252a and the second peripheral wall 253a that cover the periphery between the rear transmission plate 261 and the front transmission plate 251 easily accumulate dust and the like in the space formed in Greater than.

  Such a window unit 51A is used to remove the window unit 51A from the opening / closing frame 50 when performing maintenance work such as removing dust or the like that has entered between the rear transmission plate 261 and the front transmission plate 251. It is difficult because of the weight. Furthermore, since the second component 250 having a convex shape protrudes forward with respect to the first component 260, the second component 250 is positioned on the left side of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the opening / closing frame 50 is opened. Since the game machine cannot be opened greatly by contacting a gaming device (card unit or the like) or a pachinko gaming machine arranged adjacent to the game machine, the opening / closing frame 50 may be obstructed at the time of maintenance work such as work to eliminate clogging of the game area 10. There is.

  Therefore, by allowing only the first component 260 to be removed in a state where the window unit 51A is assembled to the opening / closing frame 50, the second component 250 that is heavier than the first component 260 can be removed. The space between the rear transmission plate 261 and the front transmission plate 251 can be opened by simply removing only the first component 260 from the opening / closing frame 50 while leaving the opening / closing frame 50, so that the cleaning operation in the space can be easily performed. Not only can it be performed, but also by removing the first component part 260, a large concave portion is formed on the back surface of the opening / closing frame 50. It becomes easy to perform such maintenance work.

  Further, in this embodiment, in particular, since the hole 270 is formed in the rear transmission plate 261 arranged so as to close the front side of the game area 10 (downflow area of the game ball), the hole 270 is formed through the hole 270. As a result, not only dust but also game balls and foreign matter (for example, components provided on the game area 10 side) can easily enter, so that the second component 250 is left on the opening / closing frame 50 as described above. By allowing only the first component 260 to be removed from the opening / closing frame 50 while maintaining the same, it is possible to improve the maintenance workability.

  In this embodiment, a hole 270 having a shape corresponding to the opening 2 c formed in the board 200 is formed in the rear transmission plate 261. Since the game board 2 is unique to each model, when the rear transmission plate 261 is also replaced when the game board 2 is replaced with the model change, only the first component 260 is removed from the second component 250. Since the replacement can be performed, the replacement operation can be easily performed.

  In addition, the first component part 260 has, at one end, a mounting piece 262e as a support part that can be supported by the mounting piece 256d as a supported part provided in the second component part 250, and mounts the mounting piece 262e. The other end can be attached to the second component 250 while being supported by the piece 256d.

  By doing so, the attachment / detachment operation of the first component part 260 to / from the opening / closing frame 50 becomes easy. More specifically, the attachment and detachment operations can be performed in a state where the load of the first component 260 is left in the second component 250, so that the workability is improved and the first component 260 can be damaged due to dropping. Can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the form in which the attachment piece 256d as the supported part is provided in the second component part 250 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and is provided in the opening / closing frame 50. The other end may be attachable to the second component 250 while being supported by the attachment piece 256d on the supported portion.

  In the present embodiment, the supported portion is provided on the lower side of the second component 250, and the upper side is attached to the second component 250 by rotating the upper portion of the second component 250 about the lower side. Although the embodiment has been exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the supported portion is provided at any of the upper side, the left side, and the right side of the second component 250 or the opening and closing frame 50, and the first component is provided. The 260 may be attached to the second component 250 by rotating the 260 while supporting the supporting portion on a supported portion provided on any of the upper side, the left side, and the right side.

  In addition, since the second component 250 is detachable from the open / close frame 50, maintenance such as cleaning of the open / close frame 50 and the second component 250 is improved. More specifically, as described above, by removing the second component 250 from the opening / closing frame 50, the opening / closing frame 50 can be largely opened, so that maintenance work such as work to clear clogging of the game area 10 can be easily performed. Become.

  In addition, in the case where a model-specific decoration is applied to the outer surface of the first tubular body 252 or the inner surface of the second tubular body 253 of the second component 250, the second component 250 may be replaced with the model change. Therefore, in such a case, it is possible to easily replace only the second component 250 without replacing the open / close frame 50.

  Further, mounting means (for example, a locking member 285, a mounting piece 256d, a mounting piece 262e) for mounting the second component 250 to the first component 260 is provided, and the first component 260 and the second component 250 are provided. Can be detached from the opening / closing frame 50 in a state where they are integrated.

  By doing so, the first component 260 and the second component 250 can be removed together from the opening / closing frame 50, so that the maintainability of the window 51 is improved.

  Further, in this embodiment, the window unit 51A, that is, the first component 260 and the second component 250 are exemplified as being detachable from the opening / closing frame 50, but the present invention is not limited to this. The second component 250 may be fixed so as not to be detachable from the opening / closing frame 50 if at least only the first component 260 can be detached from the opening / closing frame 50. Alternatively, the second component 250 may be integrally formed in advance on a part of the opening / closing frame 50. Further, only the first tubular body 252 and the second tubular body 253 may be integrally formed in advance in a part of the opening / closing frame 50, and the front transmission plate 251 may be removable from the opening / closing frame 50.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the mode in which the hole 270 as an opening is formed in the rear transmission plate 261 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the opening is not necessarily formed in the rear transmission plate 261. Hole 270 may not be formed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front transmission plate 251 as the second transmission portion sandwiches at least a part of the front transmission plate 251 from the front side and the rear side by the first holding portion 252b and the second holding portion 253b. Although the form in which the first cylindrical body 252 is held at a predetermined position is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this. If the first cylindrical body 252 is provided so as to close the front opening, the holding form is as described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be variously changed.

  Next, a first modification of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 36 is an explanatory diagram showing a first modification of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 36, in the window unit of the present modification, the first component 260 and the second component 250 are connected via a hinge 290 connecting the left sides thereof, and the left side is centered. It is mounted so as to be rotatable. That is, the opening / closing frame 50 is provided so as to be openable and closable about the left side with respect to the gaming machine frame 3 which is the main body of the gaming machine, and the first component 260 is opened and closed about the left side on the same side as the left side. The frame 50 is provided so as to be openable and closable. By doing so, the second component 250 can be opened without removing the first component 260 from the opening / closing frame 50, so that the maintainability of the window 51 is improved.

  Further, the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention includes an opening / closing frame 50 having a window portion 51 for visually recognizing the game area 10, and the window portion 51 is a rear light transmitting portion as a first transmitting portion. It has a first component part 260 as a first component part having a plate 261 and a front transmission plate 251 as a second transmission part different from the rear transmission plate 261. And a second component 250 as a second component protruding to the opposite side (front side). The second component 250 is provided so as to sandwich at least a part of the front transmission plate 251 from the front side and the rear side. It has a first holding portion 252b and a second holding portion 253b that hold the position.

  By doing so, the front transmission plate 251 can be suitably held at a predetermined position. More specifically, the front transmission plate 251 is located closer to the player than the rear transmission plate 261 and may be hit or pulled from the front side. Therefore, when the front transmission plate 251 is to be removed to the front side in order to illegally open the window portion 51, the movement is regulated by the first holding portion 252b, and the front transmission plate 251 is pushed inward and taken away. If it is attempted to remove, the movement is regulated by the second holding portion 253b, and it becomes difficult to remove the front transmission plate 251. Therefore, unauthorized opening can be suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the front transmission plate 251 is inclined so as to protrude forward and upward with respect to the substantially vertical rear transmission plate 261, so that it is difficult to strongly hit the front transmission plate 251 from the front side.

  The second component 250 includes a front transmission plate 251 and a peripheral wall that closes between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261. The peripheral wall includes a first holding portion 252b. It has a first peripheral wall portion 252a and a second peripheral wall portion 253a fitted inside the first peripheral wall portion 252a and having a second retaining portion 253b, and the front transmission plate 251 includes the first retaining portion 252b and the second retaining portion. The second peripheral wall portion 253a protrudes from the peripheral edge of the front transmission plate 251 toward the first peripheral wall portion 252a in a state where the second peripheral wall portion 253a is held at a predetermined position by the first peripheral wall portion 252a.

  By doing so, it is possible to suppress the foreign substances inserted from between the front transmission plate 251 and the first peripheral wall portion 252a from entering the deep side. More specifically, the first holding portion 252b is arranged at a position corresponding to the peripheral edge on the front surface of the front transmission plate 251 and the second holding portion 253b is arranged at a position corresponding to the peripheral edge on the back surface of the front transmission plate 251. Since the first holding portion 252b and the second holding portion 253b extend along the periphery of the front transmission plate 251, the periphery of the front transmission plate 251 is inserted into the annular groove. Will be. Therefore, it is difficult to allow a foreign substance such as a wire to enter from between the peripheral edge of the front transmission plate 251 and the first peripheral wall portion 252a or the second peripheral wall portion 253a.

  Further, the front transmission plate 251 is fixed to the second peripheral wall portion 253a via the second holding portion 253b. By doing so, it is possible to suppress the foreign substances inserted from between the front transmission plate 251 and the first peripheral wall portion 252a from entering the deep side. Further, since the front transmission plate 251 is fixed to the second holding portion 253b located on the rear side of the first holding portion 252b, the front transmission plate 251 can receive the impact hit from the front side from the rear side, and thus can receive the impact from the front side. Thus, the release of the fixed state can be avoided.

  Further, the second peripheral wall portion 253a is exchangeably attached to the first peripheral wall portion 252a. By doing so, only the second peripheral wall 253a can be easily replaced. More specifically, when a model-specific decoration or the like is applied to the inner surface of the second peripheral wall portion 253a, it is possible to respond to a model change only by replacing the second peripheral wall portion 253a without replacing the first peripheral wall portion 252a. Becomes possible.

  The second component 250 has an upper portion protruding larger than the lower component with respect to the first component 260, and the second peripheral wall 253a has more mounting means (upper portion than the lower peripheral portion) with respect to the first peripheral wall 252a. For example, they are attached by screws N1 and N4).

  By doing so, distortion generated by attaching the second peripheral wall portion 253a to the first peripheral wall portion 252a can be minimized. Specifically, in the case of the second component 250 having an upper end inclined forward, a load is more likely to be applied to the upper part than to the lower part, so that the upper part of the first peripheral wall part 252a and the second peripheral wall part 253a However, since the upper portion of the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a are connected by more screws than the lower portions at the upper portion of the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a, The generated distortion can be minimized.

  The second component 250 includes a front transmission plate 251 and a peripheral wall that closes between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261. The peripheral wall includes a first holding portion 252b. The first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a fitted inside the first peripheral wall portion 252a and having the second holding portion 253b are provided. The first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a have a heat radiation. A hole 257L, 257R and a hole 259L, 259R are formed as holes, and a cover member as a closing member capable of closing the holes 257L, 257R, 259L, 259R from the side opposite to the game area 10 (front side). 273L and 273R are attached on the game area 10 side (rear side).

  By doing so, it is possible to prevent the cover members 273L and 273R from being illegally removed and foreign matter from entering through the holes 257L and 257R and the holes 259L and 259R. Further, the cover members 273L and 273R can be attached and used or removed depending on whether or not the model uses the holes 257L and 257R and the holes 259L and 259R as heat radiation holes. It is easy to respond to model changes.

  In this embodiment, the form in which the cover members 273L and 273R are applied as an example of the closing member has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the closing member may be a member dedicated to closing. However, a decorative member, another effect member, or the like may be used instead.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the mode in which the holes 257L and 257R and the holes 259L and 259R are used as the holes for heat dissipation is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the application other than heat dissipation (for example, For example, a hole used for a sound emitting unit that emits sound may be used.

  The second component 250 includes a front transmission plate 251 and a peripheral wall that closes between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261. The peripheral wall includes a first holding portion 252b. As a decorative member having a first peripheral wall portion 252a and a second peripheral wall portion 253a fitted inside the first peripheral wall portion 252a and having a second holding portion 253b, and arranged on the front side of the first peripheral wall portion 252a. The cover members 273L and 273R are attached by screws N2 inserted into the second peripheral wall portion 253a and the first peripheral wall portion 252a from the back side of the second peripheral wall portion 253a.

  By doing so, the cover members 273L and 273R can be replaced without removing the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a. Further, since the screw N2 can be attached and detached on the back side of the second peripheral wall portion 253a, it is possible to easily operate the screw N2 from the player side with the window unit 51A attached to the opening / closing frame 50. Since it is not possible, unauthorized removal can be suppressed.

  The second component 250 is provided with a heat-dissipating hole that faces in a direction inclined with respect to the rear transmission plate 261 (see FIG. 27).

  By doing so, it is possible to make it difficult for the inside to be seen through the heat-dissipating holes and for foreign substances to enter. Further, since the heat dissipation hole is provided below the front transmission plate 251, it becomes difficult for the player to look through the heat dissipation hole.

  The second component 250 includes a front transmission plate 251 and a peripheral wall that closes between the front transmission plate 251 and the rear transmission plate 261. The peripheral wall includes a first holding portion 252b. A first peripheral wall portion 252a, a second peripheral wall portion 253a fitted inside the first peripheral wall portion 252a and having a second holding portion 253b, and a reinforcing plate provided between the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a. 258.

  By doing so, it is possible to suppress a fraudulent act of perforating a foreign object by making a hole in the first peripheral wall portion 252a and the second peripheral wall portion 253a. In addition, since the strength of the second component 250 is improved, it is possible to suppress breakage or the like due to impact due to being hit or the like.
