[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a game medium lending machine that lends medals used for games in a revolving game machine, and in particular, is integrated with a revolving game machine in which an operation panel has a horizontal plane configuration. The present invention relates to a game media lending machine installed side by side.
[0002]
[Prior art]
FIG. 4 is a view showing a game state of a player in a conventional gaming machine.
A conventional spinning machine has a front door that can be opened and closed on the front surface of a vertically configured gaming machine, and a rotating device, a stop button, and a medal slot in the vertical center of the front door. An operation panel having a selection button or the like for selecting the number of game medals used for one game is provided, and a display window for observing a symbol drawn on the spinning cylinder is provided above the operation panel.
[0003]
When playing a spinning machine, the player takes the following actions. First, a medal is inserted into the medal slot of the swing type gaming machine to acquire a game right in the gaming machine. Next, the inserted medal is bet by the bet button on the operation panel. Thereafter, the rotating cylinder is operated to rotate the rotating cylinder. Then, the timing of the rotating reel is watched and the timing is measured, and the stop button is operated to stop the rotation of the spiral. As a result, when a predetermined symbol combination (usually referred to as “combination”) is complete, a winning is won and a medal is paid out.
[0004]
Depending on the game result, there is a difference between using a medal borrowed from a game media lending machine in advance, using a medal paid out by winning a prize, or using a medal electrically processed as credit inside the gaming machine. As described above, the player's gaming action repeats endlessly the insertion of medals, the operation of the bet button, the operation of the rotating cylinder rotating device, the operation of the stop button, and the like.
[0005]
In a spinning machine, the occurrence of a prize is determined by a lottery process using random numbers inside the gaming machine immediately after the spinning machine is operated for each game. If the player's stop button operation stops the spinning cylinder with the same combination of symbols as determined by the lottery process, the winning will be won, but if any of the roles are not won in the lottery, or Even if you win, if you can't align the symbols corresponding to the winning combination, you will lose the inserted medal.
[0006]
Since the occurrence of the winning is based on the probability of a lottery process using random numbers inside the gaming machine, the player tries to perform more games in a unit time. For that purpose, it is necessary to perform one game cycle in as short a time as possible. Thus, a player can repeatedly play a game with both hands on the operation panel of the gaming machine in order to quickly insert a medal, operate a bet button, operate a rotating rotating device, operate a stop button, etc. Many.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the player repeats the game with both hands on the operation panel in order to perform one game cycle in the shortest possible time. In the current gaming machine, an operation panel provided with a rotating device and a stop button is provided at a substantially central portion of the front door of the gaming machine configured in a vertical plane, and the medal slot and the bet button are the operation panel. It is provided adjacent to. Therefore, the player keeps putting his hand on the operation panel unit which is as high as his shoulder.
[0008]
If you keep the same posture, your neck, shoulders, waist and back muscles will become tired. In particular, if the state where both arms are raised as described above continues, a considerable burden is placed on the shoulder muscles to support the weight of the arms themselves. Then, fatigue substances such as lactic acid accumulate in the muscles, and the muscles are stiff and stick out. Such muscle fatigue not only causes muscle tension and stiffness, but also causes symptoms such as muscle pain and general fatigue.
[0009]
In addition, in an amusement hall, one of the things that plagues the hall manager and staff is an illegal act called goto action. There are a variety of means of gotoing, ranging from large-scale processing of game machine control boards to gaming machine and game media lending machines, and in any case, gaming machines or game media In most cases, fraudulent persons make their bodies in close contact with lending machines.
[0010]
As described above, the current spinning machine is an upright type and is rarely installed alone. Generally, game media lending machines that lend out game media used for games are installed side-by-side and equipped with a medal replenishment / collection device, etc., and are usually installed in game halls with a configuration called “islands” . Since the space of the game hall is divided for each island, it is difficult to confirm the detailed movement of the player from a distance. When hall staff feel suspicious and approach, they may stop suspicious behavior and move on to normal games.
[0011]
Furthermore, there is a problem of changing the table frequently performed in the amusement hall. Because the popularity of gaming machines directly affects the sales of the hall, it is necessary to increase the number of popular models and remove the unpopular models. In addition, in order to appeal the freshness to the players , there are cases where large-scale replacements are made for the purpose of attracting customers.
[0012]
At the time of replacement, a gaming machine incorporated in the island is removed and a newly introduced gaming machine is installed. In that case, it requires work to raise and lower a gaming machine weighing about 40 kg to a predetermined position on the island, which involves a great deal of labor. In addition, connection / adjustment with the above-described replenishment / recovery device is also required, resulting in a long replacement time and an increase in replacement cost.
[0013]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and its purpose is to reduce physical fatigue of a player even when the game takes a long time, and is performed in close contact with the gaming machine. it features the possible reel-type gaming machine be to prevent fraud, the player to perform a game in the Kaidoshiki game machine, is to provide a game media lending machine for lending a medal. It is another object of the present invention to provide a game medium lending machine that can be seen as an integrated type with the above-mentioned spinning cylinder type game machine and that enhances the interest of the player.
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the game medium lending machine of the present invention pays out medals stored therein by inserting coins from a medal payout chute to a loaned medal payout outlet via a medal payout mechanism every predetermined number. An operation panel provided with an operation unit for playing a game is disposed on a horizontal upper surface of a projecting portion projecting forward from the front of the gaming machine, and To the swing type gaming machine in which the projecting part is arranged at a height at which a player sitting on a chair can operate by placing an arm on the overhanging part, and the gaming machine is installed on the floor surface , The overhanging game machine has an overhanging portion having the same shape as the overhanging portion, and is arranged side by side so as to be seen as an integrated type .
[0015]
Further, the game medium lending machine according to the present invention is such that the lending medal payout opening of the game medium lending machine is arranged in a position adjacent to a medal payout opening provided in the overhanging portion of the swivel type gaming machine. A lending medal outlet of the game medium lending machine and a medal payout outlet of the revolving type gaming machine are provided in a projecting portion of the medium lending machine by removing a partition plate detachably provided between them. One medal payout opening is formed .
