As described above, according to the gaming machine of the first aspect, the video display device for displaying the video to the player is:
It is attached to the back side of the opening via an attachment member.
The mounting member includes a fixing member disposed around the back side of the opening, and a device mounting member detachably attached to the fixing member and to which the image display device is mounted. The fixing member has an engagement portion. The device mounting member includes a main body to which the video display device is mounted, and a member extending outward from a position on the side surface of the main body facing the engaging portion and engaged with the engaging portion. A piece is provided. The device mounting member is positioned at the mounting position by engaging the engaging piece with the engaging portion while the front surface of the engaging piece slides on the back surface of the fixing member.

Thus, the front surface of the engaging piece extending outward from the side surface of the device mounting member is slid on the back surface of the fixing member while engaging with the engaging portion provided on the fixing member. With this arrangement, the device mounting member is positioned and fixed by screws or the like. Therefore, even if various devices such as a main board box are arranged behind the engaging pieces and the engaging portions, the device mounting member can be mounted. A gaming machine that can easily attach and detach members can be provided.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, the fixing member has a positioning shaft set up in the back side direction. The device mounting member extends outwardly from a position facing the positioning shaft on the side surface of the main body, and has a substantially plate-like shape in which a long hole is formed in the sliding direction of the engagement piece. An ear is provided. In the device mounting member, the long hole of the ear portion is fitted into the positioning shaft, and the front portion of the ear portion is slid on the back surface of the fixing member to be positioned at the mounting position.

Thus, the device mounting member is positioned by fitting the long hole formed in the ear portion with the positioning shaft of the fixing member, and the engaging piece and the ear portion slide on the back surface of the fixing member. Since the device mounting member is positioned at the mounting position, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that allows the device mounting member to be replaced more easily and quickly.

According to the gaming machine of the third aspect, in the gaming machine of the second aspect, the device mounting member is
The apparatus has a through hole formed at a predetermined position of the ear, and the device mounting member is mounted to the fixing member via the through hole by screwing.

Thus, after the engaging piece extending outside the device mounting member to which the image display device is mounted is engaged with the engaging portion of the fixing member and positioned, the device mounting member is fixed via the ear. A gaming machine in which a device mounting member can be easily attached to and detached from a fixing member even when various devices are arranged on the back side of the engagement pieces and the engagement portion because the device is screwed to the member. it can.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, the engaging piece is formed in a substantially plate shape and the engaging piece is formed. The width of a portion inserted into the portion is formed so as to decrease in the distal direction, and the engaging portion is formed so as to open substantially along the portion where the engaging piece is inserted.

As a result, the width of the opening of the engaging portion is larger than the width of the distal end of the substantially plate-shaped engaging piece, so that the engaging piece can be easily engaged with the engaging portion. A gaming machine can be provided which can perform the positioning and mounting work of the device mounting member more easily.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the second to fourth aspects, the width of the elongated hole increases in the direction of the tip of the engagement piece. It is formed so that it becomes.

With this arrangement, the front end side of the engaging piece of the long hole formed in the ear portion of the device mounting member is moved toward the positioning shaft side of the fixing member, and the positioning shaft can be easily inserted into this long hole. Therefore, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can quickly perform an operation of attaching the device attachment member to the fixing member.

Further, according to the gaming machine according to the sixth aspect, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the opening is formed in the game board, and the game board is substantially formed. The rear part is covered by a box-shaped cover body. An inspection opening is formed on the back surface of the cover body. Further, the inspection opening is closed by a detachably attached lid member. The attachment and detachment of the device attachment member can be performed through the inspection opening from which the lid member is removed.

Thus, even if various devices are arranged near the inspection opening on the back side of the cover body, attachment and detachment of a device mounting member to which the image display device is attached via the inspection opening of the cover body. In the event that the video display device breaks down, the video display device can be quickly repaired and replaced without removing the cover or various devices disposed on the back side of the cover. It is possible to provide a gaming machine that can be used.
