  FIG. 8 shows a schematic diagram of a pachinko gaming machine that employs conventional wiring connection means. In the figure, (a) is a schematic view of a state in which the transparent plate holding frame 102 provided on the front surface of the device main body 101 so as to be opened and closed by a hinge is opened and the front surface of the device main body 101 and the rear surface of the transparent plate holding frame 102 are exposed. It is. In addition, (b) in the drawing is a schematic view of a state in which the mechanism plate 103 that can be opened and closed by a hinge is opened on the rear surface of the device main body, and the rear surface of the device main body 101 and the front surface of the mechanism plate 103 are exposed. A game board 104 is attached to the device main body 101.

  A power supply board 105 which is a power supply source to the pachinko gaming machine is provided on the mechanism plate 103, and external alternating current (AC) power 24V is connected as an input. Various control boards 106 are provided in the apparatus main body 101, the transparent board holding frame 102, the mechanism board 103, and the game board 104, and power lines 107 are wired from the power supply board 105 to these control boards 106. In addition, signal lines 108 that transmit control signals transmitted and received between the control boards 106 are similarly wired, and these power lines 107 and signal lines 108 are bundled together. Wiring of the transparent plate holding frame 102 to the control board 106 is performed by inserting the power line 107 and the signal line 108 into the through hole 109 provided in the apparatus main body 101. Thus, the wiring of the power line 107 and the signal line 108 between the device main body 101, the transparent plate holding frame 102, the mechanism plate 103, and the game board 104 becomes complicated.

  By the way, in recent gaming machines, a large number of lamps, light emitting diodes, and other electrical decorations are attached to the machine frame, and various lighting effects are performed by controlling the lighting state in accordance with the gaming situation. In addition, a large liquid crystal display device is provided on the game board, so that the installation space for other components is narrowed, and the degree of freedom in design is limited. For this reason, in the conventional wired connection means using electric cables such as power lines and communication lines, it is necessary to carry out a very large number of wirings, and there is a problem that the wiring becomes complicated and a lot of space is occupied. In addition, an increase in the number of wirings inevitably increases the number of male and female connectors that connect electrical cables, and it is difficult to secure a space for arranging these connectors. Further, the wired connection means using the electric cable is liable to cause the wiring when the transparent plate holding frame or the mechanism plate is opened / closed or the game board is attached, which causes a failure. On the other hand, in the method disclosed in Patent Document 3, power is supplied to the machine frame body via a conductive hinge, thereby eliminating the need for installing a power supply connector or wiring an electric cable. However, although this method contributes to securing the space, there is a risk that power transmission may be interrupted due to leakage, short circuit, or poor contact in the hinge.

Therefore, a large number of electrical cables and connectors can be eliminated, the number of parts can be reduced, a large space can be secured, and the degree of design freedom can be greatly improved. In addition, when the machine frame is mounted, it is not necessary to wire the electric cable while checking the correspondence of the connectors one by one, and installation becomes extremely easy. Furthermore, since the wiring of the electric cable is unnecessary, there is no disconnection due to the biting of the wiring, which has been a concern when the machine frame body is opened and closed or attached. In addition, by not supplying power through a conductive metal such as a hinge, problems such as power transmission stoppage due to poor contact can be avoided, and accidents such as leakage and short circuit can be prevented and safety can be improved. .

  Further, according to the gaming machine of the present invention, the power supplied by wireless power transmission is stored in the power storage circuit, and the stored power is used as necessary to Power can be supplied more stably. Further, by using the stored electric power, for example, an electric device that consumes relatively large electric power such as a solenoid or a motor can be stably driven.

  Furthermore, according to the gaming machine of the present invention, the received power monitoring circuit constantly monitors the power receiving state of the wireless power transmission, so that if an abnormality occurs in the power supply, it can be immediately detected. Therefore, for example, an alarm is sounded when a voltage drop is detected, and illegal actions such as a player forcing the machine frame open can be prevented. Similarly, it is possible to easily confirm whether or not the installation of the machine frame body is accurate when the machine frame body is removed for maintenance or the like.
