Abstract: A game machine of the present invention has a slot that receives a medal, a medal guide portion having a guide face that inclines downward toward the slot and that guides the medal, and a medal mount that is provided in the vicinity of the medal guide portion and that enables a large number of medals to be mounted thereon. The guide face has contact portions that come into contact with an outer circumference of the medal in two points when the medal is mounted on the guide face, where a distance between the contact portions is smaller than the diameter of the medal.

Abstract: The gaming machine according to the present invention has the reels 3L, 3C, 3R on each of which a plurality of symbols are formed, the stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R for rotating and stopping the reels, the stop buttons 11L, 11C, 11r for stopping rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R and the microcomputer 40 and the motor drive circuit 49 for controlling rotation and stop of the stepping motors. And both the microcomputer 40 and the motor drive circuit 49 divides the step angle per one step in the stepping motors into a plurality of small step angles, thereby both the microcomputer 40 and the motor drive circuit 49 conducts the step control for the stepping motors based on the divided step angles.

Abstract: In the motor stop control device according to the embodiment, it is provided the main CPU 31 which executes any one of the reel stop control process 1 and the reel stop control process 2 when the stop instruction of the stepping motor 49 occurs based on an instruction from an external. In the reel stop control process 1, the main CPU 31 changes the drive power source A, which is applied to the stepping motor 49 rotating at the constant speed, to the drive power source B2 the voltage value of which is lower than that of the drive power source A and executes the stop control of the stepping motor 49 by the 2-phase excitation. And in the reel stop control process 2, the main CPU 31 changes the drive power source A, which is applied to the stepping motor 49 rotating at the constant speed, to the drive power source B1 the voltage value of which lies between the voltage values of the drive power source A and the drive power source B2 and executes the stop control of the stepping motor 49 by the 2-phase excitation.

Abstract: It is disclosed the motor stop control device having the stepping motor 49 as the drive source of the reel 3 on which a plurality of symbols are formed, the motor stop control device being utilized in the reel-type gaming machine 1 and stopping the stepping motor 49 corresponding to the stop instruction from an external. When the stop instruction of the stepping motor 49 occurs based on the instruction from an external, the main CPU 31 drops the voltage value added to the stepping motor which is rotating at the constant speed to the voltage value lower than such voltage value and executes the stop process of the stepping motor 49 by 2-phase excitation.

Abstract: The coin payout device 1 according to the present invention is constructed from: the payout unit 20 paying out coins one by one, the payout unit 20 comprising the rotation plate 26 in which a plurality of coin openings 26b are formed along the circumference thereof, the drive motor 22 for driving the rotation plate 26 and the connector 30 for supplying electric power to the drive motor 22; the bucket 10 for storing coins; and the base 50 to which the payout unit 20 and the bucket 10 are detachably arranged. Here, the drive motor 22, which is arranged in the payout unit 20 through the latch mechanism, is prevented from dropping since the resilient deformable members 40, 40 constructing the latch mechanism are limited so as not to spread by the limit members 53 formed on the inner side walls of the recess portion 51 in the base 50 when the payout unit 20 is assembled to the base 50.

Abstract: The motor drive control device of the reel-type gaming machine 1 has the stepping motors 49 as the drive source of the reels 3 on which plural symbols are formed, and the stepping motors 49 are driven corresponding to the drive instruction from an external. And the motor drive control device has the motor drive circuit 39 which repeatedly applies the pulse signal with the on-time and the off-time to the stepping motors 49 when the drive instruction of the stepping motors 49 occurs based on the instruction from an external, thereby the stepping motors 49 are driven.
