Abstract
A holding apparatus incorporated in the housing of a game machine holds a slip verification unit which includes a slip checkup device and a stacker disposed under the slip checkup device and combined therewith through a pair of mating connectors. The holding apparatus includes a stacker-receiving unit capable of receiving the stacker therein and having a front side closed by a door which when opened permits access to the interior of the stacker-receiving unit, a checkup-device carrier unit capable of carrying the checkup device and movable relative to the stacker-receiving unit so as to being the connectors into and out of engagement with each other, and an interconnecting mechanism which operatively interconnects the door of the stacker-receiving unit and the checkup-device carrier unit such that the connectors are disengaged from each other when the door of the stacker-receiving unit is opened.
