The start opening unit 30 and the big prize opening solenoid 32 are attached to predetermined positions of the base plate 19.

"(3) Merger process"
Each production electrical component is provided on the back surface of the base plate 19 configured by providing each gaming member or gaming electrical component by the manufacturing process on the base plate 19 side. The attached mounting members 33 are combined and attached. Although it does not specifically limit about the attachment method, Well-known removable fixing method is employable within the scope of the present invention.

"(4) Second wiring connection process"
Each game electrical component and each wiring extended from the symbol display LED board 43 are routed while being locked by predetermined locking portions 60, and can be attached to and detached from the back side of the back plate 39. Are connected to the connectors 55b, 55c, 55d, 55e, 55f, 55g, 55h, 55i, 55j, 55k, etc. of the second game relay board 55.

The gaming board 18 completed as described above is attached to the front side of the gaming machine body frame.
Then, the wiring extending from the main control board is connected to the connector 54a of the first game relay board 54, and the wiring extending from the presentation control board is connected to the connector 40a of the presentation relay board 40. These connection processes are performed from the front side of the game board 18.

"Modification"
In the above-described embodiment, the game electrical parts controlled or input by the main control board are attached to the attachment member 33 side, but only the production electrical parts controlled by the production control board are attached. And can be within the scope of the present invention.
Further, it is sufficient that at least all the production electrical parts and the production relay board 40 are mounted on the mounting member 33 side, and the design can be changed within the scope of the present invention.
