Further, the shape and size of the connector receiving portion 91 of the side lamp 24 and the storage concave chamber 10 are in a complementary relationship with the shape and size of the connector 90. For this reason, the operator should store the connector 90 in which storage concave chamber 10 and temporarily fix it, and should insert the connector 90 in which connector receiving portion 91 to make the original electrical connection. You can intuitively understand if there is any.
      [0040]
  Therefore, while the operator intuitively understands the whereabouts of the other party to which the connector 90 of the wire 29 should be inserted, the connector connection portion 49 for the light emission decorative member on the game board rear surface upper structural member 50A side is extremely easily and without error. And the connector connection portion (connector receiving portion 91) on the side lamp 24 side can be electrically connected. In addition, these wiring operations are much easier as compared to the conventional configuration in which lead wires or wirings are extended in advance from the light emitting decorative member, and the wiring operation between the side lamps 24 and the decoration control device 41 is Work efficiency can be improved.
      [0041]
  On the other hand, in FIG. 5, a second mounting portion 55 for a relay board is integrally provided on the rear surface of the lower part of the game board lower surface constituent member 50B at the required part, here one side in the left-right direction.

In a gaming machine provided with a game board back surface component provided with a flow-down bowl for letting down a winning ball that has flowed into the winning opening on the back side, the flow-down bowl is formed so as to bend vertically downward from substantially horizontal. A downward flow assisting portion that assists the downward movement of the winning balls that have flowed into the winning opening at the corner where the winning hole is formed, and a recess in which a ball sensor for detecting the winning balls downstream of the downward flowing portion is accommodated. And the downward flow assisting portion comprises two upright walls provided in parallel in the width direction of the downward flow weir, wherein the two upright walls are directed obliquely to the lead-out hole While forming a face, the center of the winning ball is located between the two standing walls Configured to guide the winning balls that have flowed into the winning opening in the substantially horizontal direction to the back side of the gaming board, and then guide the flowing balls vertically by the two standing walls and then detect the balls by the ball sensor Since the flow down direction of the winning balls dropped from the winning opening to the back of the game board is changed smoothly from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction, ball clogging is prevented at this part and stable ball detection is performed. be able to.
