Gaming machine

1. A gaming machine, comprising:

a first box having inner walls;

a second box housed by the first box, the second box housing a control board that includes a central processing unit for controlling a game;

a front member having side walls, the front member covering components required for executing the game placed at a front portion of the second box while the front portion of the second box is closed, and the front member defining a first space at the front portion of the second box;

a communicating portion provided at the front portion of the second box, the communicating portion allowing a second space inside the second box to communicate with the first space;

a plurality of cables extending from the front portion of the second box to the first space;

a bonding portion for bonding the plurality of cables; and

an exhausting portion provided in a side wall of the front member, the exhausting portion allowing air sent from the second space inside the second box to the first space to be discharged,

wherein

the front member is arranged to lie such that a first distance is smaller than a second distance, where

the first distance starts at a first inner wall at an end portion of the first box to finish at a first side wall at an end portion of the front member, and

the second distance starts at a second inner wall at the opposite end portion of the first box to finish at a second side wall at the opposite end portion of the front member;

wherein the plurality of cables extend out of the first space via the exhausting portion; and

wherein the bonding portion is arranged to lie closer to the exhausting portion between the exhausting portion and the front portion of the second box from which the plurality of cables start to extend.

2. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an extending portion that extends forward from a bottom of the second box; and

a hinge provided a front end portion of the extending portion, the hinge pivotally supporting the front member.

3. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a front door, wherein the front door is placed at a front of the first box and pivotally supported about an axis that extends along an end portion of the first box so as to be in open and closed positions.

4. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a pressing portion provided in the front member;

a support portion facing the pressing portion while the front member is in a closed position; and

a biasing member that biases the support portion toward the pressing portion.

5. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a first sensor that detects the transition of the front member from a closed position to an open position, wherein the first sensor outputs first information related to releasing of the closed position when the front member changes from a closed position to an open position.

6. The gaming machine according to claim 5 , further comprising a first memory that stores the first information sent from the first sensor.

7. The gaming machine according to claim 6 , further comprising a second memory that stores the first information sent from the first sensor.

8. The gaming machine according to claim 5 , further comprising a second sensor that detects the transition of the front member from a closed position to an open position, wherein the second sensor outputs second information related to releasing of the closed position when the front member changes from a closed position to an open position.

9. The gaming machine according to claim 8 , wherein

the gaming machine is communicatively connected with a server, and

the second information sent from the second sensor is transmitted to the server.

10. The gaming machine according to claim 8 , wherein the first box includes a mounting device to which the second sensor is attached so as to face a back portion of the second box, and a cutout that allows the mounting device to pass is provided in the back portion of the second box.

11. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a rotational support portion rotatably provided at the front member, wherein

the second box has a convex portion provided at a front portion thereof, the convex portion extending inside the second box,

a first end portion of the rotational support portion has a first locking part that locks the convex portion, and

the rotational support portion is switchable between a locked position and a released position, wherein

when the rotational support portion is in a locked position, the rotational support portion allows the first locking part to lock the convex portion such that the front member is maintained in a closed position, and

when the rotational support portion is in a released position, the rotational support portion allows the first locking part to release the convex portion such that the front member is openable.

12. The gaming machine according to claim 11 , wherein

the first box has a flapping portion that extends from the first inner wall to the second inner wall and extends downward toward the front portion of the second box,

a second end portion of the rotational support portion has a second locking part, and

while the first locking part locks the convex portion, the second locking part locks the flapping portion such that the front member is maintained in a closed position.

13. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , wherein the front member includes a locking device.
