In addition, two 7-segment LEDs 54A and 54B as the normal symbol display device 54 are mounted on the lower front portion of the second LED circuit board 50. The 7-segment LEDs 54A and 54B have a rectangular parallelepiped structure and project forward from the second LED circuit board 50. The front surface of the 7-segment LEDs 54A and 54B emits light and displays a normal symbol.

  In the center of the front surface of the second LED circuit board 50, a board connector 53 (corresponding to the “second connection portion” of the present invention) is provided. The board connector 53 has a box-shaped structure with one open end, and is disposed in a portion of the second LED circuit board 50 that overlaps the harness insertion port 63. The board connector 53 is arranged with its connection port 53 </ b> A directed to the side so as to be orthogonal to the penetration direction of the harness insertion port 63. Specifically, the connection port 53A faces in the horizontal right direction (the right side in FIG. 8), that is, the portion of the harness insertion port 63 that is not covered with the second LED circuit board 50. The protruding amount of the wiring connector 92B from the second LED circuit board 50 is substantially the same as the protruding amount of the decorative LED 52 and the 7-segment LEDs 54A and 54B.

  Then, the harness 90 that protrudes from the harness insertion port 63 of the base member 60 to the front side of the base member 60 (the front side in FIG. 8) is bent to the left at a substantially right angle, and is provided at the terminal portion 92B. (Corresponding to the “second terminal portion” of the present invention) is inserted into the connection port 53A of the board connector 53 and fitted therein. As a result, even when the harness 90 is pulled to the rear side (the back side in FIG. 8) of the base member 60, the pulling force is applied to the connection portion between the harness 90 and the first LED circuit board 70 (the board connector 53 and The wiring connector 92B) is less likely to be connected, and the connection between the second LED circuit board 50 and the harness 90 is difficult to be released. Further, the bending of the harness 90 can be relaxed and the length of the harness 90 can be shortened as compared with the case where the connection port 53A of the board connector 53 faces forward (the front side in FIG. 8).

  Here, the opening width of the harness insertion opening 63 is large enough to allow the wiring connectors 92 </ b> A and 92 </ b> B to be inserted, but is covered by the second LED circuit board 50 when the second LED circuit board 50 is attached to the base member 60. The opening width of the part that is not open is such a size that the wiring connectors 92A and 92B cannot be inserted. That is, when the second LE circuit board 50 is attached to the base member 60 in a state where the harness 90 is passed through the harness insertion opening 63, the harness 90 is prevented from being detached from the base member 60. In other words, in order to extract the harness 90 from the harness insertion port 63, the second LED circuit board 50 must be removed from the base member 60. The above is the description of the second LED circuit board 50.

  A decorative cover body 41 is attached to the front side of the second LED circuit board 50. The decorative cover body 41 has a design shape corresponding to the shape of the base member 60, and covers the second LED circuit board 50 fixed to the base member 60 from the front and side. Specifically, the decorative cover body 41 includes a front wall 42 that covers the front surface of the second LED circuit board 50 and a peripheral wall 43 that rises rearward from the peripheral edge portion thereof, and has a structure that is opened rearward. ing. As shown in FIG. 4, the front surface of the base member 60 is attached to the rear opening of the decorative cover body 41 and is fixed to the base member 60. Note that the decorative cover body 41 is formed of a non-light-transmissive member (for example, polycarbonate) except for a part thereof.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of LED facing holes 44 are formed through the front wall 42 of the decorative cover body 41. A cylindrical body (not shown) rises rearward from the peripheral edge portion of the LED facing hole 44, and the tip portion of the decorative LED 52 disposed on the second LED circuit board 50 protrudes into the cylindrical body. . Then, the light of the decoration LED 52 is irradiated forward through the LED facing hole 44. As described above, the light of the decoration LED 52 is not directly transmitted through the decoration cover body 41 but is directly irradiated forward through the LED facing hole 44, so that a decrease in light intensity is suppressed and blinking is easily visually recognized.

  A portion of the front wall 42 of the decorative cover body 41 facing the 7-segment LEDs 54 </ b> A and 54 </ b> B provided on the second LED circuit board 50 is a viewing window 45. Since the viewing window 45 is formed of a translucent member (for example, acrylic resin), the player can view the light of the 7-segment LEDs 54A and 54B through the viewing window 45. The above is the description of the decorative cover body 41.

  Here, among the side lamps 40A, the above-described base member 60, the second LED circuit board 50, and the decorative cover body 41 constitute the “decorative member” of the present invention. Among these, the decorative LED 52 and the seven-segment LEDs 54A and 54B are included. The mounted second LED circuit board 50 corresponds to the “game device” of the present invention.

Next, the configuration of the rear surface side of the base member 60 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, a first LED circuit board 70 corresponding to the “circuit board” of the present invention is provided on the rear surface side of the base member 60. Four holding LEDs 74 (see FIG. 3) are mounted on the front surface of the first LED circuit board 70 at positions facing the LED facing holes 64A of the base member 60 in the front-rear direction. The base member 60 enters the cylindrical wall 64. Since the light of the holding LED 74 is not transmitted through the base member 60 but directly irradiated forward through the inner space of the cylindrical wall 64, the light intensity reduction of the holding LED 74 is suppressed, and the light of the holding LED 74 is emitted. It becomes easy to recognize. As a result, the player can be surely grasped the number of times the normal symbol variation display is held.

  On the other hand, on the rear surface of the first LED circuit board 70, two board connectors 72 and 73 (corresponding to the “connector portion” of the present invention) are provided side by side. The board connectors 72 and 73 are disposed near the upper end of the first LED circuit board 70, and have a box-like structure in which the connection ports 72A and 73A are opened rearward. A harness extending from a lamp control board (not shown) is connected to the lower first board connector 73, and a harness 90 connected to the second LED circuit board 50 is connected to the upper second board connector 72. Connector is connected.

  The first LED circuit board 70 is covered from behind by a rear cover body 80. The rear cover body 80 includes a rear wall 81 that has substantially the same shape as the portion surrounded by the surrounding wall 62 of the base member 60, and a peripheral wall 82 that rises forward from the peripheral edge of the rear wall 81. The first LED circuit board 70 is spirally fixed to the front surface of the first LED circuit board. In addition, a plurality of support pillars 65 standing up from the base member 60 are abutted against the front surface of the rear cover body 80, and a spiral penetrating the rear cover body 80 is screwed into the support pillar 65, whereby the rear cover body 80 and the base member 60 are fixed integrally. Here, the rear cover body 80 is fixed at a position away from the surrounding wall 62 of the base member 60, and the first LED circuit board 70 is placed in the storage space S sandwiched between the base member 60 and the rear cover body 80. And a part of harness 90 is accommodated. Note that the rear cover body 80 is formed of a synthetic resin (for example, polycarbonate).

  Two connector openings 84 and 86 are vertically formed in the rear wall 81 of the rear cover body 80 so as to penetrate therethrough. Specifically, a horizontally-long rectangular first connector opening 86 is formed at a position facing the lower first board connector 73 provided on the first LED circuit board 70, and the upper second board connector 72 and Is formed with a horizontally-long rectangular second connector opening 84 (corresponding to the “first opening” of the present invention). Both the connector openings 72 and 73 provided in the first LED circuit board 70 are inserted into these connector openings 84 and 86 so as to protrude rearward of the rear cover body 80. The opening width of the second connector opening 84 is large enough to allow the wiring connectors 92A and 92B provided in the terminal portion of the harness 90 to be inserted. Here, since the second board connector 72 protrudes from the second connector opening 84, it is easy to connect the harness 90 to the wiring connector 92A, and the wiring connector 92A is described as shown in FIG. The identification symbol 93 </ b> A and / or the identification symbol 93 </ b> B described in the wiring cord 91 can be visually recognized from the outside of the rear cover body 80. Therefore, it is possible to confirm whether or not the regular harness 90 is connected without removing the cover body 80, for example.

  By the way, a harness exposure opening 83 (corresponding to the “second opening” in the present invention) is formed through the rear wall 81 of the rear cover body 80 above the second connector opening 84. Yes. The harness exposure opening 83 has a vertically long rectangular shape and communicates with the second connector opening 84. That is, the harness exposure opening 83 and the second connector opening 84 form one opening. This facilitates molding when the rear cover body 80 is manufactured. As shown in FIG. 7, the curved portion 90 </ b> W of the harness 90 is exposed to the outside of the rear cover body 80 from the harness exposure opening 83. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6, since the identification symbol 93B described in the wiring cord 91 can be visually recognized through the harness exposure opening 83, whether or not the regular harness 90 is connected is determined, for example. This can be confirmed without removing the rear cover body 80. Here, by exposing the curved portion 90 </ b> W of the harness 90 to the outside of the rear cover body 80 from the harness exposure opening 83, it is avoided that the harness 90 is bent excessively, and the load on the harness 90 is reduced. be able to. The curved portion 90W of the harness 90 may have a shape in which the wiring cord 91 extends rearward from the wiring connector 92A and then bends and is folded back toward the harness exposure opening 83. The shape may be such that it bends in the vicinity of the connection portion with 92A and extends substantially parallel to the rear surface of the rear cover body 80 and then toward the harness exposure opening 83. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the boundary between the second connector opening 84 and the harness exposure opening 83 is slightly constricted.

  The rear cover body 80 is provided with the covering portion 87 of the present invention so as to straddle the boundary portion (constriction portion) between the second connector opening portion 84 and the harness exposure opening portion 83. The covering portion 87 has a gate-type structure in which a covering wall 87B is interposed between the rear ends of a pair of left and right opposing walls 87A and 87A standing rearward from the rear surface of the rear cover body 80 and opened in the vertical direction. A part of the curved portion 90 </ b> W of the harness 90 exposed from the rear cover body 80 is passed through the inside of the covering portion 87. Accordingly, a part of the curved portion 90 </ b> W of the harness 90 can be protected by the covering portion 87, and the harness 90 is positioned with respect to the rear cover body 80. Here, the covering portion 87 is provided in a portion near the second connector opening portion 84, that is, in a proximity position of the wiring connector 92 </ b> A connected to the first LED circuit board 70 of the harness 90. Further, the curved portion 90W exposed from the rear cover body 80 of the harness 90 is pressed from the rear by the covering wall 87B. Thereby, the amount of swelling of the curved portion 90W of the harness 90 exposed from the harness exposure opening 83 can be suppressed. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the harness 90 pressed against the covering wall 87B extends substantially parallel to the rear surface of the rear cover body 80, and the amount of bulge of the curved portion 90W to the rear is suppressed. ing. The internal space C of the covering portion 87 surrounded by the facing walls 87A and 87A and the covering wall 87B is smaller than the wiring connectors 92A and 92B provided in the harness 90, and the wiring connectors 92A and 92B cannot pass through. It is like that. The above is the description of the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 in the present embodiment.

  By the way, the side lamp 40A is assembled in the following procedure. First, the harness 90 is connected to the first LED circuit board 70. Next, the rear cover body 80 is moved closer to the rear of the first LED circuit board 70, and the board connectors 72 and 73 of the first LED circuit board 70 are inserted into both connector openings 84 and 86 of the rear cover body 80. At this time, the curved portion 90W of the harness 90 connected to the second board connector 72 of the first LED circuit board 70 is exposed to the outside of the rear cover body 80 from the harness exposure opening 83, and inside the covering portion 87. Pass through. In this state, the first LED circuit board 70 and the rear cover body 80 are screwed together. Here, since the first opening 83 and the second opening 84 communicate with each other, even if the wiring connector 92A cannot be inserted into the internal space C of the covering portion 87, the harness 90 Can be easily passed through the inside of the covering portion 87.

  Next, the harness 90 is drawn from the rear side of the base member 60 through the harness insertion opening 63 to the front side of the base member 60, and the drawn wiring connector 92 </ b> B is connected to the second LED circuit board 50. Then, the second LED circuit board 50 is spirally fastened to the base member 60 and the rear cover body 80 and the base member 60 are spirally fastened. Finally, if the decorative cover body 41 is screwed to the front side of the base member 60, the assembly of the side lamp 40A is completed.

  Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the curved portion 90W of the harness 90 is exposed to the outside of the rear cover body 80 from the harness exposure opening 83, so the rear cover body 80 and the first LED circuit It is possible to reduce the size of the side lamp 40A in the front-rear direction by reducing the distance from the substrate 70. Thereby, the installation space of side lamp 40A can be made smaller than before.

  By the way, when the covering portion 87 is not provided on the rear cover body 80, the harness 90 connected to the second board connector 72 is wired outside the rear cover body 80 as shown in FIG. After extending rearward from the connector 92 </ b> A, it is bent and folded, inserted through the harness exposure opening 83, and stored in the storage space S. However, in such a configuration, for example, by pinching the exposed portion of the harness 90 and pulling it backward (in the direction indicated by the thick line arrow in FIG. 10), the harness 90 and the first LED circuit board 70 are connected (wiring connector 92A). And the connector connection between the board connector 72 and the board connector 72 may be released. Further, the amount of bulge of the rear cover body 80 to the rear of the exposed portion 90W increases, making it impossible to effectively use the space behind the rear cover body 80, and tools and the like are easily caught on the harness 90 during work. Problems can arise.

  On the other hand, according to the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the covering portion 87 is provided on the rear cover body 80 so as to cover a part of the exposed portion 90W. That is, even when the exposed curved portion 90W from the harness exposure opening 83 in the harness 90 is pinched and pulled rearward (leftward in FIG. 7), a part of the harness 90 is pulled in the pulling direction by the covering wall 87B. Therefore, it is difficult for the pulling force to be applied to the connection portion (connectors 72, 92A) between the first LED circuit board 70 and the harness 90, and the connection between the harness 90 and the first LED circuit board 70 is prevented. Is done. Thereby, for example, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts such as giving an electric noise from the disconnected board connector 72 and performing a ball-out operation. In the present embodiment, since the covering portion 87 is provided in the proximity position of the wiring connector 92 </ b> A of the harness 90, it is possible to more effectively prevent the connection release. That is, the effect of preventing connection release is strengthened.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the curved portion 90W of the harness 90 exposed from the rear cover body 80 is pressed to the rear cover body 80 side by the covering portion 87, so that the rear cover body 80 of the curved portion 90W is The amount of rearward bulge is suppressed. This makes it possible to effectively use the space behind the rear cover body 80, and makes it difficult for tools and the like to be caught on the harness 90 during work, improving workability.
