2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, so-called fever-type pachinko machines have become popular in order to enhance the taste of games. For example, this fever-type gaming machine has a plurality of symbols (numbers, numerals, etc.) on a special symbol display device when a gaming ball enters a specific winning opening on a gaming board surface (hereinafter, this gaming ball is abbreviated as "safe ball"). The pattern will fluctuate, and the winning combination on the game board will be opened several times in succession for a while, so that a large number of winnings will be A large amount of prize balls are paid out to the obtained players.

[0003] In such a pachinko gaming machine, various controls are organically related. For example, drive control of the symbol display device when a game ball enters a specific winning opening on the game board surface, control of payout of a prize ball from a prize ball payout mechanism, blinking operation of various lamps on the game board surface according to the playing state. Control and so on.

Therefore, a large number of control boards are mounted on the back of the main body of the pachinko game machine, the inside of the housing constituting the main body of the game machine (the back of the game board), and the like. Then, according to the command signals from these various control boards, the drive control of the symbol display device of the gaming machine, the payout operation of the prize ball, and the like are performed smoothly, so that the player can enjoy the game comfortably.

In this type of pachinko game machine, a number of display lamps, LEDs, and the like are provided on the surface of the game board. For example, left and right gates (checkers) are provided in the game area.
Display lamps and LEs that are turned on (or flashed) each time a game ball passes through the game ball or a game ball wins a prize hole.
D, LED, lamp windmill, side lamp, etc. for storing and displaying the number of symbol changes of the symbol display device (normal symbol display device or special symbol display device) by winning the game ball into the winning prize opening, and the game board surface Also, outside the game area located outside the pachinko ball guide rail, an LED lamp that lights (or flashes) each time a game ball is won, an LED lamp that displays the number of prize balls, or a ball-out state is displayed. A board decoration member provided with a ball-cut LED, a decoration LED that flashes (or flashes) when a "big hit" (fever) state occurs, and the like is provided.

In order to control the operation of turning on or off these display lamps and LEDs, a display circuit board on which these display lamps and LEDs are provided is mounted on the back of the game board, and these display circuit boards are mounted on a game machine. Game
It is electrically connected directly to the main control board, which plays a central role in controlling the contents in a centralized manner, or indirectly via a relay board, which plays a relay role. And various display lamps and LEs of the board decoration member provided outside the above-mentioned gaming machine area
D and the like are also electrically connected to the main control board via the relay board, and are turned on or off based on a command signal from the main control board.

[0007]

However, in a pachinko game machine having such a large number of display circuit boards, where the display circuit boards are to be mounted on the back of the game machine body or on the back of the game board inside the housing, Since the occupied area (space) where these can be mounted is limited, it is often difficult to determine the mounting position. In particular, if the mounting positions of the control boards which are in a signal transmission / reception relationship are separated from each other, electrical wiring becomes complicated, and there is a concern that electrical connection may not be performed smoothly.

An object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko gaming machine provided with a number of control boards and electric components for controlling lighting (flashing) of various electric components such as various display lamps and LEDs provided on a game board. In, the smoothness of the wiring connection of the lead wire between those electrical components and the control board,
The goal is to improve efficiency.

[0009]

In order to solve this problem, an electric component connection structure according to the present invention is provided for a game board corresponding to an electric component such as a display lamp or an LED mounted symmetrically on a game board surface. A first connector terminal that collectively accommodates lead wires drawn from the display circuit board attached to the back surface is detachably connected to a second connector terminal drawn from the relay board, and the relay board has The gist is that a control board for driving and controlling the electric components is electrically connected.

[0010] According to the electric component connection structure of the present invention having the above-described structure, when an electric component such as a display lamp or an LED mounted symmetrically on the game board surface is electrically connected to a control board for driving and controlling the electric component. A first connector terminal for collectively receiving lead wires drawn from a display circuit board attached to the back of the game board corresponding to each electric component, and a relay board electrically connected to a control board for driving and controlling the electric component Are connected to the second connector terminal pulled out of the pachinko ball guide rail of the game board.
The occupied space for the control board of the ED, the various display lamps of the panel decoration members provided outside the game area outside the pachinko ball guide rail, and the occupied space for the control board of the LED are also secured, and the display lamp and the LED are displayed. Since the electric wiring connection with the circuit board is also made in close proximity, the smoothness and efficiency of the wiring connection of the lead wires between the electric components and the display substrate and the control substrate can be achieved.
