Since the design belt is wound around a pair of rotating bodies that are axially supported at intervals, compared to a design moving device that rotates a cylindrical reel in which designs are arranged side by side in the circumferential direction, a fixed number of If you want to arrange the symbols side by side along the direction of rotation, there is an advantage that the thickness of the symbol moving device can be reduced to reduce the overall thickness of the slot machine. The bearing member of the rotating body is fixed to a fixed position of the support frame in a state in which the pattern belt is elastically stretched and deformed, and tension is applied to the pattern belt (see, for example, JP-A-3-162879). .

することを目的とする。According to the above-mentioned prior art, since the bearing members of the pair of rotating bodies are fixed at fixed positions of the frame, if the pattern belt creeps and deforms within a long period of time, the pattern belt concerned. However, there is a drawback that the bearing member needs to be fixed at a fixed position of the support frame, and thus it takes time and effort to assemble the rotary body to the support frame. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and by devising a mechanism for applying tension to the design belt, the design belt is unlikely to loosen for a long period of time, and the rotating body is assembled to the support frame. An object is to provide a pattern moving device of a slot machine that is easy to attach.
