Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a structure of an outer box of a gaming machine such as a slot machine.

[Conventional technology]

A gaming machine such as a conventional slot machine has a structure in which each machine is independent. In other words, each gaming machine is independent, and therefore the outer box of each gaming machine is also formed independently.

In the same type of gaming machines, the outer box of each machine is formed independently. This means that the gaming machines are manufactured, transported, and stored in units of one machine at a manufacturing plant, or at a game site. This is to install and remove the units.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

In recent years, so-called computerization of various game machines has progressed, and it has become possible to reduce the size and weight of the main body of the game machine installed in the outer casing. In particular, a game machine in which a display unit for game contents and a game operation unit are provided on the front of the game machine, and a drive control unit such as the display unit is installed in a substantially electronic form in the outer box, For example, in pachinko machines and slot machines that do not use medals, balls, etc. as game media, it has become possible to make the depth of the outer box extremely small, but the form of these outer boxes still remains the same. Each street has an independent structure.

However, if each outer box of the gaming machine is independent, not only is it time-consuming to manufacture this box, but also extra materials are wasted, which is economically disadvantageous. .

Further, if each of the outer boxes is independent, if the game machine body to be installed is small, each game machine has a wasteful extra space. For example, a pachinko hall or slot machine. In a place where a large number of game machines of the same type are arranged in a row such as a game hall, a considerable amount of wasted space is occupied, which is also economically disadvantageous.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

Therefore, the present invention is intended to provide an outer box of a gaming machine capable of solving the problems caused by the outer box of the conventional gaming machine, and its configuration is the outer box of the gaming machine. The outer peripheral frame to be formed is formed to have a depth amount and a front width and height of two or more in which the gaming machines are adjacent to each other on the left and right, or four or more in which the two or more are back to back, and A front panel portion having a display portion and an operating portion for the one gaming machine is attached to the front and rear surfaces such that the front panel portion can be opened and closed for each of the numbers formed on the outer peripheral frame.

[Action]

In a mode in which at least two gaming machines are arranged side by side on the left and right, the outer frame of one outer box is formed, and the front panels of two gaming machines are attached to this outer frame,
At least two gaming machine main bodies can be mounted in one outer box. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of materials used for the outer peripheral frame and to save labor in transportation and storage of the completed gaming machine.

〔Example〕

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an example of a slot machine to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an example of an outer box of the present invention equipped with four slot machines.

In one independently formed slot machine shown in FIG. 1, a back panel 2 and a front panel 3 are attached to the front and rear surfaces of an outer peripheral frame 1 of a front vertical rectangular box, and the front panel 3 is displayed. The display section 5, the display window 5 of the picture of the reel 5a, the operation buttons 6 and 7, and the saucers 8 and 9 of the game medium are arranged, and the display section 4 and the drive section of the reel 5a and their components are provided in the box. A drive controller (not shown) is provided, and the outer peripheral frame 1 has a depth amount of, for example, about 5 cm to 15 cm. Incidentally, 10 is a hinge.

Thus, in the present invention, the above four slot machines are
An outer box is formed by one outer peripheral frame 1 and four front panels 3 attached to the frame so as to be openable and closable, and each panel 3 has a display unit 4 and a display window 5 of a reel, or By providing operation buttons 6, 7 and the like, and mounting a drive section and drive control section for four slot machines in this box, one outer box can be provided with four slot machine functions. I made it possible.

[Effect of device]

By constructing the outer box of the gaming machine as described above, the outer box of the present invention has a back-to-back outer box as compared with the outer box of the slot machine shown in FIG.
All back panels 3 that stack on top of each other,
Since all the side panel parts where the outer box overlaps are unnecessary,
It is possible to reduce a part of the materials required for forming the individual outer boxes.

Further, as in the illustrated embodiment, four slot machines are mounted in one outer box as a so-called one pack, and therefore the slot machine of this embodiment is handled in units of four. Since it can be transported, stored, or installed and removed, it is possible to greatly reduce labor and rationalize handling.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, one slot machine has four slot machines.
Although it is mounted in one outer box, the present invention is one in which at least two slot machines are mounted side by side in one outer box and three slot machines are arranged side by side. Furthermore, the number of slot machines to be mounted can be arbitrarily selected, even if six or more slot machines are mounted back to back in one outer box.

Further, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to gaming machines other than slot machines, for example, pachinko machines.

Since the present invention is as described above, it is extremely useful as a block type outer box for mounting a game machine body such as a plurality of slot machines such as at least two adjacent right and left or four or more back to back. is there.
