Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

  In this type of gaming machine, for example, in a pachinko machine, when a game ball is launched into a game area formed in a gaming machine main body made of a game board or the like, and a game ball is won at various winning holes in the game area. Accordingly, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Further, for example, a symbol display unit made up of a liquid crystal display device or the like is installed in the center of the game area, and a plurality of columns of symbols are variably displayed by the symbol display unit. In this case, the symbol variation display by the symbol display unit is started with the winning of the predetermined prize opening (start winning award) as a trigger, and thereafter the symbol variation display is stopped through the variation display by the predetermined variation pattern. If the symbols are the same when the stop symbol of each symbol row is determined, the game proceeds to a special game state (big hit state) and a large amount of game balls are paid out. The probability of transitioning to the special gaming state is set with a relatively low probability, and the normal state is left when not transitioning to the special gaming state.

  The pachinko machine has a main board that controls the main control of the game on the back side of the main body of the gaming machine. With the main board, the game balls are paid out in accordance with winnings and the game state at each time is in a normal state. Or, it is controlled whether to be in a special gaming state. In the pachinko machine, in addition to the main board, a payout control board for controlling the payout of game balls, a display control board for controlling the fluctuation display of the symbols in the symbol display unit, and an audio device or a lamp device installed in the gaming machine. An audio lamp control board for performing effects is installed.

  As described above, a plurality of control boards (control devices) including the main board are mounted on the back side of the gaming machine main body, and the control board is mounted on the gaming machine main body via a base member. ing. In this case, there is an advantage that the control board is attached in a stable state.

  Also, in recent gaming machines, various efforts have been made to diversify the game effects in order to improve interests, etc., and on the back side of the gaming machine main body there are various accessories and board devices such as relay boards. Many are arranged. Therefore, a pedestal member having reinforcing ribs of a certain height formed on the back side is provided so as to be separated from the gaming machine main body, and various types of gaps are formed using a gap region formed between the pedestal member and the gaming machine main body. Efficiently arranging the objects and board devices has been studied. On the other hand, if a gap area is formed between the pedestal member and the gaming machine main body, there is a possibility that fraudulent acts such as inserting a hand or a tool from the outside into the gap area and causing the pachinko machine to malfunction will be performed. Therefore, in order to prevent a hand, a tool, or the like from being inserted into the gap region, a technique for providing a shielding portion on the base member has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Further, when the pedestal member is provided so that a gap area is formed between the pedestal member and the gaming machine main body, there is a concern that the gap area may be misused for improper purposes. Specifically, there is a concern that an illegal substrate or the like can be attached to the gap region. Such a concern still remains as a configuration in which the shielding member is provided on the base member. Therefore, the countermeasure against the fraud is desired.

Similarly, a plurality of (four in this embodiment) coupled pieces 725 are formed on the side portion 721a at the end on the substrate mounting portion 712 side. The coupled piece 725 has an easily breakable portion, and is cut off from the main control mounting base 711 by breaking the easily breakable portion. Since the same side portion 721a is a part for supporting the main controller unit 700 in a cantilever manner, a plurality of ribs 726 are provided on the inner side surface of the side portion 721a for the purpose of reinforcement. . In addition, a notch portion 728 for vertically guiding electrical wiring and the like from the main control mounting base 711 is formed on the left side of the main control mounting base 711 in FIG. 9A.

  Here, in a state where the main control device 701 is mounted on the board mounting portion 712, the coupling piece 706 of the main control device 701 and the coupled piece 725 on the main control mounting base 711 side are aligned so as to overlap each other. In this case, the sealing process is performed between the main controller 701 (board box 702) and the main control mounting base 711 by screwing a sealing screw into one of the four sets of the coupling piece 706 and the coupled piece 725. Applied. Although illustration is omitted, the sealing screw is a so-called breaking screw that breaks the head when a load exceeding a predetermined tightening force is applied when tightening with a tightening tool such as a screwdriver. Since the screw head is broken at the time of sealing, the screw loosening operation by a driver or the like becomes impossible thereafter. In this case, in order to release the seal, the easily breakable portion of the coupled piece 725 must be broken, and the history of the seal release remains due to the breakage.

  Instead of the breaking screw, it is also possible to use a so-called one-way screw (also referred to as a one-way screw) that can be screwed in a predetermined tightening direction but cannot be screwed in the opposite loosening direction. The board mounting portion 712 is provided with a seal screw storage portion 729 for storing seal screw stock.

  On the other side portion 721b, attachment portions 731 for attaching the fasteners 75 (see FIG. 5) are provided at two upper and lower portions. The main control mounting base 711 (main control device unit 700) is fastened to the game board 16 by a fastener 75 attached to the mounting portion 731.

  A large number of grid-like ribs 742 are integrally formed with the main control mounting base 711 in the back side of the main control mounting base 711, more specifically, in a region surrounded by the board mounting part 712 and the leg part 721. The ribs 742 are formed so as to be perpendicular to the board mounting portion 712 and extend to the back side of the main control mounting base 711. The large number of ribs 742 prevent each space-like region from becoming relatively large. That is, it can be said that the gap region A1 (see FIG. 6) is partitioned by the ribs 742 or subdivided. Further, by integrally forming a large number of ribs 742, it is possible to ensure the rigidity of the horizontally long substrate mounting portion 712 while obtaining a desired effect such as subdivision of the gap region A1. In this case, since the main control mounting base 711 is formed of a transparent material, even if a part of the rib 742 is cut off, the discovery is easy. In addition, since the main board and the board box 702 are also formed of a transparent material, even if a part of the rib 742 is cut off, the main controller 701 is removed from the main control mounting base 711 without removing the main controller 701 from the rear surface of the pachinko machine 10. It can be found from the side. Furthermore, since the ribs 742 are formed so as to be perpendicular to the substrate mounting portion 712, it is easy to find fraudulent activity through each segmented area. Incidentally, the rib 742 is formed so that the dimension in the height direction (the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10) is longer than the vertical and horizontal dimensions of each lattice.

  A plurality of rows (four rows in this embodiment) are formed in the substrate mounting portion 712 so that a plurality of slits 745 are arranged in the vertical direction. The slit 745 is formed so as to avoid the position where the rib 742 extending in the vertical direction is formed. End slits 745a located at both upper and lower ends of the substrate mounting portion 712 are formed in an L shape so as to straddle the upper side portion 721d or the lower side portion 721c of the leg portion 721. The central slit 745b located at the central portion of the substrate mounting portion 712 is formed at a position intersecting with the rib 742 extending in the left-right direction, and the rib 742 has a notch penetrating vertically at a position corresponding to the central slit 745b. The part is formed. That is, it can be said that the main control mounting base 711 has a through-hole penetrating in the vertical direction on the substrate mounting surface 712a side.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, a rectangular recess 751 is formed on the back side of the main control mounting base 711. The concave portion 751 is provided in consideration of the mounting partner side (game board 16 side) of the unit 700, so that the concave portion 751 can avoid interference with a protruding portion or member on the back of the game board 16. It has become. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the collective board unit 68 formed so as to cover the electric accessory 33a provided on the game board 16 and the relay board and connector provided on the back side of the collective board unit 68 are provided. Interference is avoided by the recess 751. Similarly, the ribs 742 formed at positions corresponding to the recesses 751 are also formed at a height that avoids interference with the collective plate unit 68. The concave portions 751 and the ribs 742 are formed so as to be close to the collective plate unit 68 to the extent that the unauthorized substrate cannot be disposed in the gap region A1. Specifically, it is formed so that the interval between the collective plate unit 68 is about 5 mm and the interval between the relay board and the connector is about 10 mm. In other words, the ribs 742 are formed so as to avoid components (collection board unit 68, relay board, etc.) attached to the back side of the game board 16. Alternatively, it can be said that the ribs 742 are formed so as to extend from the back side of the board mounting portion 712 to the components (the collective board unit 68, the relay board, etc.) attached to the back side of the game board 16. By increasing the distance between the relay board and the connector as compared with the distance between the collective plate unit 68, it becomes possible to relatively easily handle the electric wiring connected to the connector. Furthermore, the back side (more specifically, the rib 742) of the main control mounting base 711 is formed so as to project both the left and right sides toward the collective plate unit 68 while avoiding interference with the relay board and the connector. It can also be said that the rib 742, the relay board and the connector are formed so as to overlap in the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to avoid placing an illegal board or the like in a portion that becomes a blind spot by the relay board or the like when the main body frame 12 is released from the outer frame 11 (that is, a region closer to the opening / closing center than the relay board) It is possible to suppress fraud appropriately. Incidentally, the rib 742 is formed so as to avoid the insertion portion of the connector. In addition, although not shown, on the back side of the main control mounting base 711, when the main control apparatus 701 is mounted on the main control mounting base 711, interference with the locking tool on the main control apparatus 701 side is avoided. And the notch part for enabling rotation operation of the said locking tool is formed. A rib 742 is formed to reach the collective plate unit 68 so as to surround the notch.

  Further, in a state where the main controller 701 is mounted on the board mounting portion 712 of the main control mounting base 711, on the back side of the board mounting portion 712, a rotation operation of a locking tool provided on the board box 702 of the main control device 701 is performed. Is done. Therefore, the main controller 701 cannot be removed by the locking action of the locking tool. Further, in a state where the main control device 701 is mounted on the board mounting portion 712, the coupling piece 706 of the main control device 701 and the coupled piece 725 on the main control mounting base 711 side are aligned so as to overlap each other. In this case, a sealing process is performed between the main controller 701 and the main control mounting base 711 by screwing a sealing screw into one of the four sets of the coupling piece 706 and the coupled piece 725.

  When the main controller unit 700 is mounted on the game board 16, the main controller 701 and the main control mounting base 711 are integrated as described above, and then the bearing portion 724 of the main control mounting base 711 is connected to the game board 16 side. More specifically, the shaft 700 is pivotally supported on the support shaft portion 74 of the collective plate unit 68, and the unit 700 is rotated around the support shaft portion 74, so that the distal end portion of the leg portion 721 of the main control mounting base 711 is moved. Abut. Then, the main controller unit 700 is fixed to the collective board unit 68 (game board 16) by the fasteners 75. The mounted state is the state shown in FIG. That is, the main controller 701 is attached to the game board 16 so that the back surface of the game board 16 and the electronic component mounting surface of the main board are substantially parallel.

  Next, the configuration of the audio lamp control device unit 800 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the sound lamp control device unit 800 from two directions (front side and back side). Among the members constituting the sound lamp control device unit 800, the structure of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 is shown in FIG. 11, and the structure of the spacer member 850 is shown in FIG.

  The sound lamp control device unit 800 has a sound lamp control mounting base 811 as a base member, and the sound lamp control device 801 is mounted on the sound lamp control mounting base 811. The voice lamp control device 801 includes a CPU that controls the main control, a ROM that stores driving data of speakers and lamps, a RAM that stores necessary data according to the progress of the game, a port that communicates with various devices, and a time count. And an audio lamp control board including a clock pulse generation circuit used for synchronization, etc., and the audio lamp control board is provided in a substrate box 802 as an encapsulating means made of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material or the like. Contained and configured. In this embodiment, not only the substrate box 802 but also the sound lamp control substrate is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material or the like. However, the board box 802 and the sound lamp control board may be colored opaque or translucent by being colored green or blue. The substrate box 802 includes a box base (front case body) having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and a box cover (back case body) that covers an opening of the box base. Incidentally, the sound lamp control device 801 does not include sealing means unlike the main control device 701 and is not sealed.

  The configuration of the sound lamp control mount 811 will be described with reference to FIG. The sound lamp control mount 811 is made of synthetic resin such as polycarbonate resin, and is colorless and transparent as a whole. However, the audio lamp control mounting base 811 may be opaque or translucent by being colored green or blue. The sound lamp control mounting base 811 is provided with a board mounting portion 812 having a flat plate shape. The board mounting portion 812 corresponds to a voice lamp control device mounting portion for mounting the voice lamp control device 801, and is formed in a horizontally-oriented substantially rectangular shape in accordance with the shape of the board box of the voice lamp control device 801. In the board mounting portion 812, the front side of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 (the back side of the pachinko machine in the state of being installed in the pachinko machine 10) is a board mounting surface 812a. Further, the sound lamp control device 801 is arranged so that the electronic component mounting surface of the sound lamp control board on which the electronic components such as the CPU are mounted is on the front side. On the other hand, it is mounted backwards. In addition, the substrate mounting portion 812 has through holes 813 penetrating in the front-rear direction at two places on the left and right.

  In a state where the sound lamp control mounting base 811 is attached to the back side of the game board 16, the board mounting portion 812 is separated from the game board 16, and as a configuration therefor, the left and right ends of the board mounting portion 812 are arranged. Are provided with leg portions 821a and 821b extending on the opposite side to the board mounting surface 812a (the back side of the sound lamp control mount 811). As shown in FIG. 6, the legs 821 a and 821 b are formed so that the surface of the sound lamp control device 801 is close to the protective cover 82, and further, the surface of the sound lamp control device 801 and the main control device 701. Are formed so as to be at substantially the same position in the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10. The leg portions 821a and 821b are continuously formed integrally with the substrate mounting portion 812, and also serve as a shielding portion for preventing the rear portion of the substrate mounting portion 812 from entering the left and right directions. That is, in the state where the audio lamp control mounting base 811 is attached to the back side of the game board 16, a back space is formed behind the board mounting portion 812, but the left and right directions of the back space are formed by the legs 821a and 821b. The inside and outside are partitioned, and intrusion of unauthorized tools and the like into the space behind it is prevented. In addition, fraudulent attachment of a fraudulent board or the like in the back space from the left-right direction can be prevented.

  In the leg portions 821a and 821b, the right leg portion 821b is provided with a pair of upper and lower bearing portions 824, and these bearing portions 824 support the mounting partner side (game board 16 side) of the audio lamp control mounting base 811. By being pivotally supported by the shaft portion 66, the sound lamp control mounting base 811 (the sound lamp control device unit 800) is cantilevered with respect to the game board 16 so as to be rotatable.

  The other left leg portion 821a is provided with attachment portions 831 for attaching the fasteners 67 (see FIG. 5) at two upper and lower portions. The sound lamp control mounting base 811 (the sound lamp control device unit 800) is fastened to the game board 16 by the fastener 67 attached to the attachment portion 831.

  Therefore, when the audio lamp control mounting base 811 is attached to the frame cover 61 in detail from the back side of the game board 16, the front ends of the left and right leg portions 821 a and 821 b abut against the frame cover 61. At this time, the sound lamp control unit 800 is fixed to the back side of the game board 16 by the fastener 67.

  As described above, when the sound lamp control mounting base 811 is attached to the back side of the game board 16, a back space is formed behind the sound lamp control mounting base 811. In this case, by using this back space, board devices such as the display control device 272 provided on the back side of the game board 16, various wirings, and the like can be efficiently arranged. At this time, if the back space formed behind the sound lamp control mount 811 is large, it is possible to easily cope with an increase or an increase in the number of board devices provided on the back side of the game board 16. Therefore, it is also considered that it is advantageous to use it for different types or types of pachinko machines.

  However, on the other hand, there is a concern that the space behind the sound lamp control mount 811 may be misused for improper purposes. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, there is a concern that an unauthorized substrate or the like may be attached to a gap area A <b> 2 formed between the sound lamp control mounting base 811 and the display control device 272. Further, when the sound lamp control mounting base 811 is colored, there is a demerit that it is difficult to find an illegal board or the like once attached by the shielding function of the left and right legs 821a and 821b.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, a fraud countermeasure is taken by arranging the spacer member 850 in the gap area A2 and filling the gap area A2. The structure of the spacer member 850 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the spacer member 850 has a horizontally long flat base plate portion 851, and a bulging portion 852 that bulges rearward is formed so as to surround the base plate portion 851 in a U shape. . The bulging portion 851 is formed with a hollow portion, and the spacer member 850 is a surface where the front side (sound lamp control mounting base 811 side) of the opposite front and back sides is open, whereas the back side The (game board 16 side) is a closed surface. The spacer member 850 is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material. The vertical and horizontal dimensions of the spacer member 850 substantially match the dimensions of the board mounting portion 812 of the sound lamp control mounting base 811. The dimension in the front-rear direction of the spacer member 850, that is, the thickness dimension of the bulging portion 852 is substantially the same as the length of the legs 821a and 821b of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 or slightly longer than the length of the legs 821a and 821b. The dimensions are small. Therefore, the spacer member 850 is just fit in the gap area A2 formed behind the board mounting portion 812 of the sound lamp control mounting base 811.

  The bulging portion 852 is formed so as to avoid the display control device 272 attached to the back side of the game board 16. The bulging portion 852 includes an upper bulging portion 852a located at the upper end of the base plate portion 851, and a side bulging portion 852b located at the left end and the right end of the base plate portion 851, which are continuously formed. ing. The thickness dimension (the dimension in the front-rear direction) of the upper bulging portion 852a is slightly smaller than the thickness dimension of the side bulging portion 852b. Furthermore, the side bulging portion 852b is formed to project toward the game board 16 while avoiding interference with the display control device 272, and in the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, the side bulging portion 852b It can be said that the display control device 272 is formed to overlap. By adopting such a configuration, an illegal substrate or the like is disposed in a portion that becomes a blind spot by the display control device 272 when the main body frame 12 is released from the outer frame 11 (that is, a region closer to the opening / closing center than the display control device 272). It becomes possible to avoid this, and it is possible to suppress fraud appropriately. The bulging portion 852 is provided with a plurality of partition plates 853 for partitioning the inside thereof, and the side bulging portion 852b is provided with a partition plate 853 in a lattice shape. The large number of partition plates 853 prevent a relatively large one from being formed as a space-like lump in the hollow portion of the bulging portion 852. That is, the inner region of the bulging portion 852 is subdivided by the partition plate 853. Further, by providing a plurality of partition plates 853, it is possible to secure the strength of the bulging portion 852 and reduce the weight of the spacer member 850 while obtaining a desired effect such as subdivision of the inner region. . In this case, since the spacer member 850 is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material, even if a part of the partition plate 853 is cut off, the discovery is easy. Fastened holes 855 are respectively provided in the substantially central portions of the partition plates 853 that partition the inner region of the side bulging portion 852b to the left and right.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 10B, the spacer member 850 is assembled to the back side of the board mounting portion 812 of the audio lamp control mounting base 8111. When the spacer member 850 is assembled to the audio lamp control mount 811, the base plate portion 851 is brought into contact with the back surface of the substrate mounting portion 812, and in this state, a fastener such as a screw is inserted into the through hole 813 from the substrate mounting surface 812 a side. Is inserted and screwed into the fastened hole 855. As a result, the spacer member 850 is assembled to the back side of the substrate mounting portion 812 in a state where the opened side of the bulging portion 852 is closed by the substrate mounting portion 812. When the audio lamp control device 801 is assembled, the spacer member 850 is integrated with the audio lamp control mounting base 811 and then assembled to the substrate mounting surface 812a from the substrate mounting surface 812a side. In the assembled state of the spacer member 850, the gap region A2 is filled with the spacer member 850. Therefore, there is no room for installing an illegal board or the like behind the board mounting portion 252 of the mounting base 251. In this case, since the audio lamp control mounting base 811 is formed of a transparent material, even if a part of the bulging portion 852 or the partition plate 853 is cut off, the discovery is easy. In addition, since the sound lamp control board and the board box 802 are also formed of a transparent material, even if a part of the bulging portion 852 or the partition plate 853 is partly cut, the sound lamp control device 801 is connected to the sound lamp control mounting base. It can be found from the back side of the pachinko machine 10 without being removed from the 811. Further, since the sound lamp control device 801 is mounted on the board mounting surface 812a, the sound lamp control device 801 can cover the fastener for fixing the sound lamp control mounting base 811 and the spacer member 850, thereby preventing fraud. The effect can be further enhanced.

  When the sound lamp control device unit 800 is mounted on the game board 16, the spacer member 850 is assembled to the sound lamp control mounting base 811 from the back side of the substrate mounting portion 812, and then the sound lamp control device 801 is mounted on the substrate mounting surface 812a. Wear. Then, the bearing portion 824 of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 is pivotally supported by the support shaft portion 66 on the game board 16 side, and the unit 800 is rotated around the support shaft portion 66 so that the sound lamp control mounting base 811 is supported. The left leg 821a is brought into contact with the back side of the game board 16 (more specifically, the frame cover 61). Then, the sound lamp control device unit 800 is fixed to the game board 16 by the fastener 67. The mounted state is the state shown in FIG. That is, the sound lamp control device 801 is attached to the game board 16 so that the back surface of the game board 16 and the electronic component mounting surface of the sound lamp control board are substantially parallel.

  Even if it is assumed that the sound lamp control board unit 800 is mounted on the back surface of the pachinko machine 10 in this way, as shown in FIG. 6, the back formed behind the board mounting portion 812 of the sound lamp control mount 811. The space is occupied by the display control device 272 and the spacer member 850, and it is possible to suppress the misuse of the space behind the sound lamp control mount 811 for unauthorized purposes. In addition, since a fastener such as a screw for fixing the sound lamp control mount 811 and the spacer member 850 is covered by the sound lamp control device 801, the coupling of the fastener is released unless the sound lamp control device 801 is removed. It is not possible to increase fraud deterrence.

  However, when the spacer member 850 is provided so as to fill the gap region A2, heat generated by driving the display control device 272 (more specifically, driving of the CPU) stays in the gap region A2, and the display control device There is a concern that 272, the symbol display device 41, and the like may be adversely affected. More specifically, various programs stored in the ROM of the display control device 272 are destroyed or the temperature of the liquid crystal display of the symbol display device 41 becomes high as the gap region A2 or the temperature inside the display control device 272 rises. There is a concern that the affected area may become dark or malfunction.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the spacer member 850 is provided with a rectifying function so as to take heat countermeasures so that heat does not stay in the gap area A2 even in a situation where the spacer member 850 is disposed in the gap area A2.

  As shown in FIG. 12, a plurality of U-shaped upper slits 861 are formed in the upper bulging portion 852a, and L-shaped end slits are formed on both the upper and lower ends of the side bulging portion 852b. A plurality of 862 are formed. In addition, no slit is formed at the center of the side bulging portion 852b, and a plurality of horizontally elongated side slits 863 are formed so as to be aligned vertically only on one side facing the display control device 272. Has been. Of the partition plates 853 that partition the hollow portion of the side bulging portion 852b, the partition plate 853a that partitions the hollow portion up and down penetrates the tip portion (the open side end portion of the spacer member 850) vertically. A plurality of notches 854 are formed.

  When the sound lamp control device unit 800 is mounted on the back surface of the pachinko machine 10, heat generated by driving the display control device 272 flows from the upper slit 861 and the side slit 863 to the hollow portion of the spacer member 850. The heat that flows from the upper slit 861 to the hollow portion of the upper bulging portion 852a again flows from the upper slit 861 to the upper bulging portion 852a, that is, above the spacer member 850. As a result, heat generated by driving the display control device 272 is released to the outside of the spacer member 850, that is, to the outside of the gap region A2. Further, the heat that flows from the side slit 863 to the hollow portion of the side bulging portion 852b flows upward through the notch portion 854 formed in the partition plate 853a, and is formed at the upper end portion of the side bulging portion 852a. It flows from the end slit 862 to the upper side of the lateral bulge portion 852b, that is, to the upper side of the spacer member 850. As a result, heat generated by driving the display control device 272 is released to the outside of the spacer member 850, that is, to the outside of the gap region A2. At this time, since the end slit 862 is also formed at the lower end portion of the side bulging portion 852b, air flowing under the spacer member 850 (below the gap region A2) is taken into the hollow portion of the spacer member 850. The heat generated by driving the display control device 272 together with the air can be released above the spacer member 850, and the heat dissipation effect can be enhanced.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described based on the block diagram of FIG.

  The main controller 701 is equipped with a CPU 501 as a one-chip microcomputer that is an arithmetic unit. The CPU 501 includes a ROM 502 that stores various control programs executed by the CPU 501 and fixed value data, and a memory that temporarily stores various data when the control program stored in the ROM 502 is executed. A RAM 503 and various circuits such as an interrupt circuit, a timer circuit, and a data transmission / reception circuit are incorporated. The main control device 701 is a main controller for performing main control (a general calculation process related to profits) in the pachinko machine 10, and the CPU 501 which is the operation subject of the main controller 701 is a game ball winning determination process, a predetermined start winning prize. A jackpot lottery process using as a trigger, a release process of the variable prize winning device 32 (so-called a big prize attacker) at the time of the jackpot winning, a payout command process for outputting a game ball payout command, and the like are appropriately executed. That is, it can be said that the main control device 701 is a control device that performs overall management of games.

  The RAM 503 is configured to retain (backup) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply device 313 even after the pachinko machine 10 is powered off. The RAM 503 temporarily stores various data and the like. In addition to the memory and area for this purpose, a backup area 503a is provided.

  The backup area 503a stores values such as a stack pointer, each register, and I / O when the power is shut down (including when a power failure occurs, the same applies hereinafter) when the power is shut down due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The area of the pachinko machine 10 can be restored to the state before the power cut-off based on the information in the backup area 503a when the power is turned on (including power-on due to power failure cancellation). Yes. Writing to the backup area 503a is executed when the power is shut off by the NMI interrupt process, and restoration of each value written to the backup area 503a is executed in the main process when the power is turned on. Note that the power failure signal SG1 from the power failure monitoring circuit 542 is input to the NMI terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the CPU 501 when the power is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The NMI interrupt process as a process is immediately executed.

  An input / output port 505 is connected to the CPU 501 of the main control device 701 via a bus line 504 including an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port 505 is connected to a RAM erasing switch circuit 543, a payout control device 311, a display control device 272, and other switches not shown.

  The payout control device 311 performs payout control of prize balls and rental balls by a payout motor built in the payout device 86. The CPU 511 that is an arithmetic unit includes a ROM 512 that stores a control program executed by the CPU 511, fixed value data, and the like, and a RAM 513 that is used as a work memory or the like.

  Similar to the RAM 503 of the main controller 701, the RAM 513 of the payout controller 311 is configured to hold (backup) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply 313 even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut off. The RAM 513 is provided with a backup area 513a in addition to a memory and an area for temporarily storing various data.

  The backup area 513a is an area for storing the stack pointer, registers, I / O, and other values when the power is cut off when the power is cut off due to a power failure or the like. Based on the information in the backup area 513a, the state of the pachinko machine 10 can be restored to the state before the power is shut off. Writing to the backup area 513a is executed when the power is shut off by the NMI interrupt processing, and restoration of each value written to the backup area 513a is executed in the main processing when the power is turned on. As with the CPU 501 of the main controller 701, the power failure signal SG1 is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 542 to the NMI terminal of the CPU 511 when the power is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The NMI interrupt process is immediately executed.

  An input / output port 515 is connected to the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 via a bus line 514 including an address bus and a data bus. A RAM erase switch circuit 543, a main controller 701, a launch controller 312 and a payout device 86 are connected to the input / output port 515, respectively.

  The launch control device 312 permits or prohibits the launch of the game ball by the game ball launch device 20, and the game ball launch device 20 is permitted to drive when a predetermined condition is met. Specifically, it is detected that a firing permission signal is output from the payout control device 311, that the player is touching the game ball launching handle 19 by a sensor signal, and a launch for stopping the launch. On the condition that the stop switch is not operated, the game ball launching device 20 is driven, and the game ball is launched with the strength corresponding to the operation amount of the game ball launching handle 19.

  The display control device 272 controls the variation display of the first symbol (special symbol) on the first symbol display device 41 and the variation display of the second symbol (ordinary symbol) on the second symbol display device 42. The display control device 272 includes a CPU 521, a ROM (program ROM) 522, a work RAM 523, a video RAM 524, a character ROM 525, an image controller 526, an input port 527, two output ports 528 and 529, and a bus line. 530 and 531. The input side of the input port 527 is connected to the output side of the main controller 701, and the output side of the input port 527 is connected to the CPU 521, ROM 522, work RAM 523, image controller 526, and output port via the bus line 530. 528 is connected. A second symbol display device 42 (display unit 45) and an audio lamp control device 801 are connected to the output side of the output port 528. Further, an output port 529 is connected to the image controller 526 via a bus line 531, and the first symbol display device 41 is connected to the output side of the output port 529.

  The CPU 521 of the display control device 272 controls the display of the first symbol display device 41 and the second symbol display device 42 based on the symbol display command transmitted from the main control device 701. The ROM 522 is a memory for storing various control programs executed by the CPU 521 and fixed value data, and the work RAM 523 is for temporarily storing work data and flags used when the CPU 521 executes various programs. Memory.

  The video RAM 524 is a memory for storing display data displayed on the first symbol display device 41, and the display content of the first symbol display device 41 is changed by rewriting the contents of the video RAM 524. The character ROM 525 is a memory for storing character data such as symbols displayed on the first symbol display device 41. The image controller 526 adjusts the timings of the CPU 521, the video RAM 524, and the output port 529 to intervene in reading and writing data, and also reads display data stored in the video RAM 524 from the character ROM 525 at a predetermined timing. It is displayed on the symbol display device 41.

  The power supply device 313 includes a power supply unit 541 for supplying power to each part of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 for monitoring power interruption due to a power failure, and a RAM erase switch circuit connected to a RAM erase switch (not shown). 543. The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power to the main control device 701, the payout control device 311 and the like through a power supply path (not shown). As its outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in an AC 24 volt power supply supplied from the outside, and generates a + 12V power supply for driving various switches and motors, a + 5V power supply for logic, a backup power supply for RAM backup, and the like. Then, these + 12V power supply, + 5V power supply and backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 701, the payout control device 311 and the like. Note that operation power (+12 V power, +5 V power, etc.) is supplied to the launch control device 312 via the payout control device 311.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit for outputting a power failure signal SG1 to each NMI terminal of the CPU 501 of the main control device 701 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 541, and determines that a power failure (power shutdown) occurs when this voltage is less than 22 volts. The power failure signal SG1 is output to the main controller 701 and the payout controller 311. Based on the output of the power failure signal SG1, the main controller 701 and the payout controller 311 recognize the occurrence of the power failure and execute the NMI interrupt process. The power supply unit 541 outputs the output of 5 volts, which is the drive voltage of the control system, to a normal value for a time sufficient to execute the NMI interrupt processing even after the DC stable voltage of 24 volts becomes less than 22 volts. Configured to maintain. Therefore, the main control device 701 and the payout control device 311 can normally execute and complete the NMI interrupt processing.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 receives a switch signal of a RAM erase switch (not shown), and outputs a RAM erase signal SG2 for clearing backup data of the main control device 701 and the payout control device 311 according to the state of the switch. It is. When the RAM erase switch is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal SG2 to the main controller 701 and the payout controller 311. Thus, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch pressed, the data in the backup areas 503a and 513a is cleared in the main controller 701 and the payout controller 311.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  The main controller 701 is mounted on the board mounting surface 712a of the main control mount 711, and the main control mount 711 is mounted on the back side of the game board 16 in this state, and the board mounting surface of the sound lamp control mount 811 An audio lamp control device 801 is attached to 812a, and an audio lamp control mounting base 811 is attached to the back side of the game board 16 in this state. In addition, leg portions 721 and 821 are provided on the back side of the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811. When the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811 are attached to the game board 16, the board mounting portions 712 and 812 and the game are played. Predetermined gap areas A1 and A2 are formed between the board 16 and the board 16. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to install, for example, various prizes such as the variable prize winning device 32 and the electric bonuses, a board device such as a relay board, a display control device 272, and the like in the gap areas A1 and A2. It becomes possible to increase the degree of design freedom regarding the arrangement of various game parts. However, there are concerns that the gap regions A1 and A2 may be abused to install unauthorized parts.

  The concern is that the control devices 701 and 801 are in contact with the back surface of the game board 16 or the control devices 701 and 801 are in contact with game parts provided on the back side of the game board 16. , 801 can be suitably eliminated. However, in such a configuration, it is necessary to review the arrangement positions of the control devices 701 and 801 for each model, and there is a new concern that the design load and the manufacturing load may increase.

  On the other hand, in this configuration, the legs 721 and 821 are formed so that the control devices 701 and 801 mounted on the control mounts 711 and 811 are close to the protective cover 82. Thereby, it becomes possible to ensure sufficient clearance area | region A1, A2 by arrange | positioning each control mounting base 711,811 in the back of the pachinko machine 10 as much as possible. Therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the opportunity to review the arrangement positions of the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811, and it is possible to suitably eliminate the above-mentioned concerns. Further, by disposing the control devices 701 and 801 at the back of the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to suppress the control devices 701 and 801 from being affected by noise caused by the movement of the game ball or the like. Further, a rib 742 for subdividing the gap area A1 is provided on the side of the main control mounting base 711 facing the game board 16, and the gap area A2 is filled on the side of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 facing the game board 16. Since the spacer member 850 is provided, the gap regions A1 and A2 themselves can be reduced by the ribs 742 and the spacer member 850, unlike the existing configuration that simply shields the openings of the gap regions A1 and A2. It is possible to suppress an illegal act of installing an illegal substrate or the like using the gap areas A1 and A2. This is because in the above-described existing configuration, after each control mounting base is released from the game board 16, an unauthorized board or the like may be installed in the gap area. As a result of the above, it is possible to realize a configuration in which a control device or the like can be installed efficiently, and to take sufficient measures against fraud in such a configuration. More specifically, the protective cover 82 is formed of a transparent resin material, and the voice lamp control device 801 is formed so as to be close to the protective cover 82, so that the protective cover 82 covers the voice lamp control device 801. In the configuration, it is also possible to suppress a decrease in the visibility of the audio lamp control device 801.

  The spacer member 850 is formed with a three-dimensional bulge portion 852 that opens to one side, and a plurality of partition plates 853 are provided inside the bulge portion 852. Thereby, a relatively large thing is not formed in the hollow part of the bulging part 852 as each space-like lump. As a result, even if the spacer member 850 has a shape having a hollow portion, it is possible to suppress an unauthorized substrate or the like from being installed using the internal region. Further, by providing the partition plate 853 in a lattice shape, it is possible to secure the strength of the bulging portion 852 and reduce the weight of the spacer member 850 while obtaining a desired effect such as subdivision of the inner region. Furthermore, by making the spacer member 850 have a hollow portion, the heat generated from the display control device 272 can be propagated to the air inside the spacer member 850 and then released to the outside of the gap region A2. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the temperature in the gap area A2 and the display control device 272 from excessively rising and adversely affecting the display control device 272 and the symbol display device 41.

  The bulging portion 852 was attached to the sound lamp control mounting base 811 so as to close the opening side. When the spacer member 850 has a three-dimensional shape having an opening, there is a concern about installation of an unauthorized substrate or the like using the inner region of the spacer member 850, but the sound is generated by closing the opening side of the bulging portion 852. By mounting on the back side of the lamp control mounting base 811, it is possible to suppress installation of an unauthorized substrate or the like using the internal region.

  In the spacer member 850, a plurality of slits 861 and 863 are formed on the side of the bulging portion 852 facing the display control device 272. With this configuration, the heat generated from the display control device 272 can be moved to the inside of the spacer member 850 and then released to the upper side of the spacer member 850, that is, outside the gap region A2. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the temperature in the gap area A2 and the display control device 272 from excessively rising and adversely affecting the display control device 272 and the symbol display device 41.

  A plurality of slits 861 and 862 penetrating vertically are formed at both upper and lower ends of the spacer member 850 facing the game board 16. With this configuration, heat generated from the display control device 272 can be released relatively quickly above the spacer member 850, and the temperature inside the gap region A2 and the display control device 272 increases excessively. Can be suppressed. Further, by forming end slits 862 at both the upper and lower ends of the side bulging portion 852 b facing the game board 16, relatively low temperature air is supplied from below the spacer member 850 in the vicinity of the display control device 272. It becomes possible to flow into the hollow portion of the spacer member 850, and the heat generated from the display control device 272 can be suitably released upward of the spacer member 850.

  A notch 854 that penetrates vertically is formed at the tip of the partition plate 853a. By adopting such a configuration, suitable heat countermeasures can be taken while ensuring the ease of manufacturing. When the partition plate 853a for vertically partitioning the inside of the side bulging portion 852b is provided, there is a concern that the partition plate 853a blocks the air flow from the bottom to the top inside the side bulging portion 852b. However, the concern can be eliminated by forming the notch 854 penetrating vertically. In addition, it is certainly possible to form a slit in the center of the side bulging portion 852a and form the notch 854 in the partition plate 853a. However, in the configuration in which the spacer member 850 is molded from synthetic resin, There is concern over the cost increase associated with the complexity of the structure. Therefore, a slit is not formed in the central portion of the side bulging portion 852a, and a notch portion 854 that penetrates vertically is formed in the tip portion of the partition plate 853a, which is preferable while ensuring ease of manufacturing. Thermal measures can be taken. Furthermore, when the notch 854 is formed at the tip of the partition plate 853a, there is a concern that the portion where the notch 854 is formed may be illegally bent or cut off to install an unauthorized substrate or the like. . However, since the spacer member 850 is attached to the sound lamp control mounting base 811 so as to close the opening side of the bulging portion 852, the cutout portion 854 is not exposed unless the spacer member 850 is removed from the sound lamp control mounting base 811. The above concerns can be resolved.

  The fastener that fixes the spacer member 850 and the sound lamp control mount 811 is configured to be covered by the sound lamp control device 801. In such a configuration, when the audio lamp control device 801 is mounted on the audio lamp control mounting base 811, the fastener is not exposed and the spacer member 850 cannot be removed from the audio lamp control mounting base 811. Therefore, the fraud prevention effect can be further enhanced.

  A through-hole penetrating in the vertical direction was formed in the main control mounting base 711. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the flow of air flowing from the lower side to the upper side of the gap region A1 from being blocked, and a suitable heat countermeasure can be taken. In the case of this embodiment, the mounting bases 711 and 811 are formed so that the sound lamp control device 801 and the main control device 701 are substantially in the same position in the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, and the sound lamp control device 801 and A protective cover 82 is attached so as to cover a part of the main controller 701. Therefore, there is a concern that the air flow may be blocked by the main control mount 711 and the protective cover 82. Therefore, by forming a through-hole penetrating in the vertical direction in the main control mounting base 711, the air flowing below the main control mounting base 711 flows above the main control mounting base 711, and this air is further passed through the gap region A2. That is, it is possible to flow into the spacer member 850. Therefore, even if the main controller 701 is positioned below the sound lamp controller 801, it is possible to eliminate the interruption of the air flow, and the temperature inside the gap area A2 and the display controller 272 increases excessively. It can suppress suitably.

  By attaching the main board and the sound lamp control board in a direction in which the mounting surface on which the electronic components are mounted is parallel to the game board 16, that is, in a direction in which it can be seen from the back side of the pachinko machine 10, If it is released from the frame 11, it is possible to confirm whether each of these control boards is fraudulent. Therefore, it is possible to detect fraud relatively easily, and it can be expected to suppress fraud. Further, since the pachinko machine 10 is generally limited in size in the front-rear direction in addition to the up-down and left-right directions, for example, the configuration and the ratio in which each control board is mounted in a direction perpendicular to the game board 16 are compared. As a result, a sufficient gap area can be secured, and the degree of freedom in designing the arrangement of various game parts can be increased. On the other hand, in such a configuration, an area that is difficult to visually recognize by each control board unit 700, 800 is formed on the back side of the game board 16, and an illegal board may be installed in the area. It will be a concern. Therefore, in such a configuration, by providing the rib 742 that subdivides the gap region A1 and the spacer member 850 that fills the gap region A2, a configuration in which the control device or the like can be installed efficiently is realized, and sufficient fraud countermeasures in such a configuration are provided. Can be taken.

  By providing the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811 so that the surface of the main control device 701 and the surface of the sound lamp control device 801 are substantially the same position in the depth direction of the game board 16, each control device 701 When performing inspection 801 or the like, it is possible to ensure a sufficient gap area while avoiding a decrease in the visibility of one of the control devices. In addition, the sound lamp control device 801 is covered with the protective cover 82, but the sound lamp control device 801 and the protective cover 82 are also disposed in proximity to each other, and the protective cover 82 is formed of a transparent synthetic resin material. It becomes possible to suppress a decrease in visibility. Furthermore, it is possible to suppress each control device 701, 801 from being affected by noise caused by the movement of a game ball, etc., compared to a configuration in which these control devices 701, 801 are arranged in the front-rear direction. It becomes. In the pachinko machine 10 with a limited size in the front-rear direction, for example, even if the main control device 701 is arranged so as to be substantially in the same position as the protective cover 82, the sound lamp control device 801 is located in front of it. This is because the voice lamp control device 801 may be affected by noise.

  On the back side of the main control mounting base 711, a plurality of ribs 742 are provided in a grid pattern. With this configuration, the gap area A1 can be subdivided, and each of the areas can be partitioned into relatively small ones. Therefore, it becomes difficult to secure an area for installing the unauthorized board between the game board 16 and the main control mounting base 711, and it is possible to suppress the illegal act. In addition, by providing the ribs 742, it is possible to ensure the rigidity of the horizontally long board mounting portion 712.

  By providing the leg portion 721 of the main control mounting base 711 so as to surround the gap region A1, it is possible to prevent the leg portion 721 from entering the gap region A1 from the outside. This is because the leg portion 721 can partition the inside and outside of the gap region A1. Therefore, it becomes possible to suppress fraud appropriately. Further, the heights of the legs 721 and 821 are adjusted so that the main control device 701 and the sound lamp control device 801 are close to the protective cover 82, and the control devices 701 and 801 do not protrude behind the protective cover 82. By doing so, even if the game ball spills downward from the game ball storage tank 83, it is possible to suitably avoid the game ball from colliding with the control devices 701 and 801 by the protective cover 82. .

  A gap area A <b> 1 formed on the back side of the main controller 701 is partitioned by ribs 742. The main control device 701 is a control device that manages the presence / absence of the transition to the special gaming state and the payout of the game ball. Therefore, the main control device 701 is likely to be fraudulent due to unauthorized parts and the like, and from the unauthorized board to the main control device 701. There is a high possibility that an unauthorized act of installing an unauthorized substrate on the back side of the main control mounting base 711 is performed so that the electrical wiring of the circuit board becomes shorter. Therefore, by adopting a configuration in which the gap area A1 is partitioned by the ribs 742, it is possible to prevent an illegal act from being performed on the main control device 701, and the game hall where the pachinko machine 10 is installed suffers disadvantages. This can be avoided.

  The main control mounting base 711 is configured to be detachable from the main control device 701 in the front-rear direction, and is attached to a position where a part of the main control device 701 overlaps the protective cover 82 in the front-rear direction. In such a case, in order to remove the main controller 701 from the main control mount 711, it is necessary to move the protective cover 82 so that the entire main controller 701 is exposed. Therefore, it becomes possible to make it difficult to perform an illegal act of exchanging the main control device 701 with an illegal base, and it is possible to take a sufficient countermeasure against the illegal operation.

  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.

  (A) In the above embodiment, the gap area A1 formed behind the main control mounting base 711 is defined by the ribs 742, and the gap area A2 formed behind the audio lamp control mounting base 811 is defined by the spacer member 850. However, the gap area A1 may be filled with a spacer member and the gap area A2 may be partitioned by ribs. Alternatively, the gap regions A1 and A2 may be both filled with a spacer member, or the gap regions A1 and A2 may be partitioned by ribs. Even in these configurations, it is apparent that the same operational effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained by providing each with a communication hole communicating in the vertical direction.

  (B) In the above-described embodiment, the spacer member 850 is composed of the base plate portion 851 and the U-shaped bulged portion 852, but it goes without saying that the spacer member 850 may be composed of only the bulged portion 852.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the end slit 862 of the spacer member 850 is formed in an L shape. However, a through-hole penetrating in the vertical direction is formed in the upper side portion and the lower side portion of the side bulge portion 852b. May be. Further, a notch that penetrates in the vertical direction is formed at the opening side end of the bulging portion 852 (that is, the voice lamp control mounting base 811 side), and when the spacer member 850 is mounted on the voice lamp control mounting base 811, It is good also as a structure in which the communicating hole which connects is formed. Even with these configurations, since air can be discharged from the lower side of the spacer member 850 into the inner region of the spacer member 850 and discharged upward, the same effects as those of the above embodiment can be achieved.

  (D) In the above embodiment, the upper slit 861 of the spacer member 850 is formed in a U shape. However, even if through holes are formed in the upper and lower sides of the upper bulging portion 852a in the vertical direction. Good. Moreover, you may form the slit formed in L shape in the up-and-down both ends. That is, it is not necessary to connect the upper side through hole and the lower side through hole. Also in these configurations, since heat generated from the display control device 272 can be discharged upward while being taken into the inner region of the spacer member 850, the same effects as those of the above embodiment can be achieved. In these configurations, the through hole in the upper side and the through hole in the lower side are not connected, that is, no slit is formed in the side facing the game board 16 of the upper bulging portion 852a. It becomes possible to prevent the trouble that the electric wiring or the like connected to the first symbol display device 41 gets caught in the slit.

  (E) In the above embodiment, the notch 854 penetrating vertically is formed in the partition plate 853a that vertically partitions the hollow portion of the lateral bulging portion 852b, but in addition to this, the upward bulging portion 852a and the side You may form the notch part penetrated to the left and right in the partition plate 853 which partitions the hollow part of the side bulge part 852b into the left and right.

  (F) In the above embodiment, a plurality of partition plates 853 are formed in the inner region of the spacer member 850 to partition the inner region. However, a plurality of columnar bosses are provided as pillar members. May be. Even in such a configuration, the inner region of the spacer member 850 can be appropriately blocked by the boss, and it is possible to suppress the installation of an unauthorized substrate or the like in the inner region. In addition, when a configuration in which a plurality of bosses are scattered is provided, the internal region is not partitioned, and thus heat generated from the display control device 272 is released above the spacer member 850 without forming a notch or the like in the boss. Is possible. Note that a pillar member having a polygonal shape, a cross-shaped cross section, a T-shaped cross section, a crank shape, a cross-sectional donut shape, or the like may be provided as the pillar member. Alternatively, a plurality of partition plates may be provided in a lattice shape, and columnar bosses may be provided between the partitioned regions.

  (G) In the above embodiment, the sound lamp control mounting base 811 side of the spacer member 850 is an open surface, but the game board 16 side may be an open surface, and both sides are open or closed. It may be a flat surface. However, in order to suppress the installation of an unauthorized substrate or the like in the gap area A2, when the spacer member 850 is assembled to the audio lamp control mounting base 811, all the spacer members 850 are closed surfaces. It is desirable.

  (H) In the above embodiment, the spacer member 850 is assembled to the sound lamp control mount 811. However, the spacer member 850 may be assembled to the game board 16 side. However, in the case of such a configuration, for example, when performing inspection confirmation of the display control device 272, it is necessary to further open or remove the spacer member 850 after opening the sound lamp control mounting base 811 from the game board 16, There is concern about the complexity of work.

  (I) The sound lamp control mounting base 811 and the spacer member 850 may be sealed by sealing means. For example, the audio lamp control mount 811 and the spacer member 850 are coupled using a break screw or a one-way screw.

  Alternatively, in a state where the sound lamp control mounting base 811 and the spacer member 850 are integrated, a seal seal may be pasted across the sound lamp control mounting base 811 and the spacer member 850. When the seal seal is once affixed and then peeled off, the adhesive is peeled off from the seal label and cannot be reapplied. When the seal seal is peeled off, the trace remains. By attaching the seal seal, it is possible to confirm whether or not the sound lamp control mounting base 811 and the spacer member 850 are separated after being integrated.

  (J) It is good also as a structure which provides a fan in the board | substrate box of the display control apparatus 272, and discharge | releases the heat | fever emitted from CPU of the display control board to the exterior of the display control apparatus 272.

  In such a case, it is desirable to attach the display control device to the game board side so that the CPU of the display control board is positioned above the gap area. This is because the chances that other electronic components such as a ROM mounted on the display control board are exposed to heat can be reduced. Moreover, if it is set as the structure which provides an air blower in the position facing CPU of a board | substrate box, it can suppress that the temperature inside a display control apparatus rises excessively.

  In addition to this, the spacer member has a hollow three-dimensional shape, and an opening is formed at a position facing the blower. After the heat discharged from the blower is moved to the hollow portion of the spacer member, the spacer member is positioned above the spacer member. To be released. With this configuration, it is possible to suppress an excessive increase in the temperature of the gap region. Furthermore, in such a configuration, there is a concern that the sound lamp control device may be adversely affected by the heat taken into the hollow portion of the spacer member. Therefore, the sound lamp control device may be mounted so as to be separated from the board mounting surface of the sound lamp control mounting base by a predetermined distance (for example, 1 cm). However, when the sound lamp control device is mounted apart from the substrate mounting surface, there is a concern that an unauthorized substrate or the like may be installed in the gap between the sound lamp control device and the substrate mounting surface. Therefore, it is desirable that the gap be 5 mm to 20 mm so that an illegal substrate or the like cannot be installed in the gap.

  (K) In the above embodiment, the slit or the through hole is not formed in the central portion of the surface of the side bulging portion 852b facing the game board 16, but the slit or the through hole may be formed. With this configuration, not only the heat generated from the display control device 272 but also the heat generated from the symbol display device 41 can be moved to the inside of the spacer member 850 and then released above the spacer member 850. Suitable heat countermeasures can be taken. Needless to say, the number and width of the slits 861 to 863 and the notch 854 formed in the spacer member 850 may be adjusted according to the amount of heat generated from the display control device 272 or the symbol display device 41. The same applies to the slits 745 formed in the main control mount 711.

  (L) In the above embodiment, the gap region A1 is defined by using a plurality of lattice-shaped ribs 742. However, a plurality of columnar bosses may be provided as pillar members. Also in this configuration, a member that blocks the gap region A1 can be appropriately disposed. As a result, it is possible to realize a configuration suitable for suppressing the installation of an unauthorized substrate. In addition, it is possible to expect an effect that the die-cutting operation to take out from the die after the completion of molding becomes easier as compared with the configuration in which the rib is provided. In addition, as a column member, you may provide the column member which makes polygonal shape, cross-sectional cross shape, cross-sectional T shape, crank shape, cross-sectional donut shape, etc. Even in such a configuration, a member that blocks the space behind the main control mount 711 can be provided as appropriate. Alternatively, a large number of ribs may be provided in a lattice shape, and cylindrical bosses may be provided between the partitioned regions. With such a configuration, the gap region A1 can be appropriately blocked while being partitioned, so that a configuration suitable for suppressing the installation of an unauthorized substrate or the like can be realized.

  (M) In the above embodiment, the main control device unit 700 and the sound lamp control device unit 800 are configured separately, but the main control device 701 and the sound lamp control device 801 are mounted on one pedestal member. Needless to say. Even in such a configuration, if a spacer member having a communication hole communicating vertically is arranged in a gap region formed between the base member and the game board, the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained. Is clear.

  (N) In the above embodiment, the leg portions 721 and 821 are formed on the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811 side, but this is changed and provided on the game board 16 or game parts attached to the game board 16. It is good also as a structure. Also in this configuration, a gap region can be formed between each control mounting base 711, 811 and the game board 16.

  (O) In the above embodiment, the protective cover 82 covers a part of the main control device 701. However, the main control device 701 is disposed below the protective cover 82, and the main control device 701 is provided with the protective cover 82. It is good also as a structure exposed from. With this configuration, the visibility of the main control device 701 can be improved. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate the operation of confirming whether or not the main control device 701 has been cheated in a game hall or the like where the pachinko machine 10 is installed. In such a case, it is desirable to set the arrangement position of the main control mounting base 711 so that the rear surface of the main control device 701 and the rear surface of the protective cover 82 are in substantially the same position in the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10. .

  (P) In the above embodiment, the main controller 701 and the sound lamp controller 801 are arranged so as to be arranged in the vertical direction. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and other controls such as the payout controller 311 are performed. The arrangement position including the apparatus is arbitrary. However, it is desirable that the rear surfaces of the control devices are arranged in substantially the same position in the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10.

  (Q) The control device mounted on the control mount may be changed from the sound lamp control device 801 to another control device. Alternatively, in addition to the sound lamp control device 801, another control device may be mounted on the control mount. As another control device, a display control device 272 for performing display control of symbols can be considered.

  (R) In the above embodiment, the main controller unit 700 and the sound lamp controller unit 800 are attached to the back surface of the gaming board 16, but this is changed so that each unit 700, It is good also as a structure which attaches 800 to another member. For example, the main controller unit 700 (main control mounting base 711) is attached to the main body frame 12 constituting the gaming machine main body.

  (S) In each of the embodiments described above, the spacer member 850 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin. Alternatively, the spacer member 850 may be made of a light metal such as aluminum or a ceramic such as ceramics. However, it can be said that one-piece molding with synthetic resin is advantageous in terms of ease of molding, weight reduction, and cost reduction.

  (T) Another type of ball game machine different from the above embodiment, for example, a pachinko machine equipped with other objects, an arrangement ball machine, a sparrow ball, or a game ball (pachinko instead of a medal) It can be applied to a ball-cylinder type game machine that uses a ball).

  In a ball-type spinning machine, a reel device (cylinder device) with a plurality of symbols on the outer periphery, devices such as a bet switch and start lever operated by the player, and taking in game balls A take-in device or the like is provided for counting the game balls that are allowed or forbidden and sequentially taken. In this case, the game balls stored in the ball tray are guided to the take-in device via the alignment passage portion and the take-in port. Then, in response to the player's operation of the bet switch, the take-in device takes in the game balls, and the start of each game (reel rotation accompanying the start lever operation) is allowed according to the number of game balls taken in. Is done.
