[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine is provided with various game control boards such as, for example, an accessory control board. These game control boards are connected to related electronic devices, boards, and the like via connection lines.

In general, noise such as static electricity and electromagnetic waves is easily generated in island facilities to which game machines are attached. Therefore, in a conventional gaming machine, the game control board (especially,
The influence of noise was prevented by covering the entire control board with metal members.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional gaming machine, a large number of connection lines are connected to each game control board, and these connection lines are wired in various directions. The game control board was in a state of being obstructed by obstruction. For this reason, for example, even if an illegal component is attached to the game control board, the clerk of the game store may not easily notice it. that is,
For example, the same applies when the storage case of the game control board is made transparent or translucent. Also, when the front frame is opened and operated, for example, when replacing a faulty part or when clearing a blocked ball, the connection line may be caught and accidentally disconnected. Was. For example, when a game is being played, there is a possibility that the game is stopped and a disadvantage is given to the player (a game value that should have been obtained cannot be obtained).

[0005] As described above, when the entire game control board is covered with a metal member in order to prevent the influence of noise such as static electricity and electromagnetic waves, the material cost and the installation labor are increased, and the game cost is increased. The control board becomes more difficult to see,
There was such a problem.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a connecting line connected to various game control boards such as an accessory control board is connected to each game control board and the game control board. By wiring between the back mechanism board to which it is attached, it is possible to make it easy to see each game control board, and to prevent a drawback such as hooking and pulling out the connection line during work such as opening the front frame. It is intended to provide a possible gaming machine. Further, the present invention provides a member (conductive member) for preventing the influence of noise on the game control board.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of reducing material costs and installation labor.
