The front surface (frame portion 38) of the symbol display device 30 is provided on the back side of the back unit 51. The opposing surface portions 76, 106, 123 of the substrate covers 75, 106, 123 in the first to third light emitting devices 71, 101, 121 are provided. 107 and 124, and the upper and lower lock members 135a and 135b are rotationally displaced from the release position to the locking position, so that the upper and lower lock members 135a and 135b correspond to the corresponding support portions 35 and 35 of the symbol display device 30, respectively. The symbol display device 30 is attached to the installation area S of the back unit 51 by being brought into contact with.

  On the other hand, to remove the symbol display device 30 from the game board 40 (back unit 51), the upper and lower lock members 135a and 135b are rotationally displaced from the locking position to the release position, and the upper and lower lock members 135a and 135b are removed. Are separated from the corresponding support portions 35, 35 of the symbol display device 30, and in this state, the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30 is rotated so as to move backward. Then, a pair of locking projections 34, 34 formed on the left side surface 32 b of the symbol display device 30 are inserted into corresponding insertion receiving portions 56, 56 formed on the pivot end side frame portion 55 of the back unit 51. The symbol display device 30 is removed from the installation area S of the back unit 51 by being extracted from the openings 56a, 56a. As described above, when the symbol display device 30 is attached to the game board 40 (back unit 51), the symbol display is provided in the insertion ports 56a and 56a of the insertion receiving portions 56 and 56 provided in the game board 40 (back unit 51). With the locking projections 34, 34 of the device 30 inserted, the frame members 38 of the symbol display device 30 are brought into contact with the front position restricting portions (substrate covers 75, 106, 123) to lock the lock members 135a, 135b. To remove the symbol display device 30 from the game board 40 (rear unit 51), the lock members 135a and 135b are displaced to the release positions and are inserted from the insertion ports 56a and 56a. Since it is only necessary to extract the locking projections 34, 34, even the heavy symbol display device 30 can be easily attached and detached.

  At this time, the front surface (frame portion 38) of the symbol display device 30 is in contact with the opposing surface portions 76, 107, and 124 of the substrate covers 75, 106, and 123 in the light emitting devices 71, 101, and 121, and the symbol display is performed. When the rear surface 32a (support portions 35, 35) of the device 30 comes into contact with the upper and lower lock members 135a, 135b, the back-and-forth movement of the symbol display device 30 is restricted. Further, the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30 abuts on the first regulating wall 114 formed on the second substrate cover 106 in the second light emitting device 101, and the left side surface 32b of the symbol display device 30. However, the right and left movement of the symbol display device 30 is restricted by coming into contact with the second restriction wall 127 formed on the third substrate cover 123 in the third light emitting device 121. Furthermore, the upper surface 32d of the symbol display device 30 contacts the second contact guide piece 133 of the pedestal member 130, and the lower surface 32e of the symbol display device 30 corresponds to the upper surface (lower metal of the installation member 67). The vertical movement of the symbol display device 30 is restricted by coming into contact with the support plate portion 147) of the restriction piece 145. That is, in the state where the symbol display device 30 is disposed on the game board 40 (back unit 51), the front position restricting portion (substrate cover 75, 106, 123), lock member provided on the game board 40 (back unit 51). 135a, 135b, upper and lower position restricting portions (base member 130, installation member 67), and first and second side position restricting portions (first restricting wall 114, second restricting wall 127) are displayed as symbols. Since it abuts on the corresponding outer surface of the device 30 and restricts the movement of the symbol display device 30 up and down, right and left, and back and forth, when carrying the pachinko machine 10 or the game board 40, opening and closing the middle frame 12 with respect to the outer frame 11, etc. It is possible to suppress the symbol display device 30 from vibrating.

  Further, when the front surface (frame portion 38) of the symbol display device 30 is brought into contact with the front position restricting portion (substrate covers 75, 106, 123) with the locking projection 34 inserted into the insertion port 56a. The rear surface of the locking projection 34 abuts on the inner surface of the rear wall portion 56b of the insertion receiving portion 56. That is, by bringing the front surface (frame portion 38) of the symbol display device 30 into contact with the front position restricting portions (substrate covers 75, 106, 123), the vertical, left, right, and front and rear positions of the symbol display device 30 can be changed. Since the symbol display device 30 can be fixed by temporarily deciding and displacing the lock members 135a and 135b in this state, the symbol display device can be easily attached.

(Easy installation of the symbol display device)
As described above, in order to attach the symbol display device 30 to the installation area S of the game board 40 (back unit 51), the locking projection 34 of the symbol display device 30 is inserted into the insertion port 56a of the pivot end side frame portion 55. It is necessary to plug in. Here, since each insertion port 56a is formed so as to open to the visible display portion 52 side, when inserting the locking projection 34 into the insertion port 56a, as shown in FIG. In the state where the left side surface 32b of the symbol display device 30 is in contact with the front position restricting portion (substrate cover 75, 106, 123), the symbol is displayed along the front position restricting portion (substrate cover 75, 106, 123). The display device 30 is moved to the insertion port 56a side. At this time, on the contact support surface 110 of the second substrate cover 106 that constitutes the front side position restricting portion, an inclined guide surface 113 that is inclined forward toward the pivot end side extends over the entire length in the vertical direction. The insertion port 56a of each insertion receiving portion 56 is configured to open at the inclined front end portion of the inclined guide surface 113. Accordingly, when the left side surface 32b of the symbol display device 30 is moved toward the insertion port 56a, when the left side surface 32b (locking projection 34) reaches the inclined guide surface 113, it follows the inclined guide surface 113. Then, the symbol display device 30 moves forward and the locking projection 34 is inserted into the insertion port 56a. That is, whether or not the locking projection 34 is inserted into the insertion port 56a can be determined by whether or not the symbol display device 30 has moved forward. Thus, the operator can grasp that the locking projection 34 has been inserted into the insertion port 56a as if the symbol display device 30 is moving, and the workability of attaching the symbol display device 30 can be improved.

  Further, the installation area S of the symbol display device 30 includes a first lower protective wall 81, a second lower protective wall 112, and a first wiring holding member provided on the (back unit 51) of the game board 40. An upper position is defined by the lower surface portion 91 of the 90, and a lower position is defined by the upper surface 67 a of the installation member 67. Then, the distance from the first lower protection wall 81, the second lower protection wall 112, and the lower surface portion 91 of the first wiring holding member 90 to the upper surface 67a of the installation member 67 is determined by the symbol display device 30. Are substantially the same as the upper and lower width dimensions. Accordingly, by arranging the symbol display device 30 between the members 67, 81, 90, and 112, the locking projection 34 and the insertion port 56a are aligned in the left and right directions. By simply moving the symbol display device 30 facing the screen, the locking projection 34 can be inserted into the insertion port 56a, and the symbol display device 30 can be easily attached. Further, a support plate portion 147 of the lower metal restricting piece 145 is provided on the upper surface 67a of the installation member 67 so as to support the lower surface 32e of the symbol display device 30. Since the symbol display device 30 can be slid while the lower surface 32e of the device 30 is placed on the support plate portion 147 to support the load, the workability when the symbol display device 30 is attached is remarkably improved. Further, since the locking projection 34 is formed at the front end portion of the left side surface 32b of the symbol display device 30, it is from the front position restricting portion (substrate covers 75, 106, 123) of the insertion receiving portion 56. Projection dimension can be minimized. Accordingly, since the interference between the symbol display device 30 and the insertion receiving portion 56 inclined when the locking projection 34 is inserted into the insertion port 56a can be prevented, the mounting workability of the symbol display device 30 is not impaired.

  The first restriction wall 114 is provided so as to be positioned closer to the visible display portion 52 than the opening end of the insertion receiving portion 56, so that the symbol display device 30 can be attached to the game board 40 (back unit 51). Since the contact between the symbol display device 30 and the insertion receiving portion 56 is prevented, the mounting workability of the symbol display device 30 can be improved. Further, since the first restricting wall 114 is disposed between the insertion receiving portions 56 and 56 that are separated from each other in the vertical direction, when the locking projections 34 and 34 are inserted into the insertion ports 56a and 56a, the first restriction wall 114 is disposed. The restriction wall 114 does not obstruct, and the workability of attaching the symbol display device 30 is not impaired.

(Regarding the left and right position restrictions of the symbol display device)
Here, when the locking projections 34, 34 of the symbol display device 30 are inserted into the insertion ports 56a, 56a of the insertion receiving portions 56, 56, the second light emitting device 121 provided with the second light emitting device 121 is provided. In order to avoid interference between the restriction wall 127 and the symbol display device 30, the symbol display device 30 is inclined as described above. In the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the insertion receiving portions 56 and 56 have a protruding dimension in which the first restriction wall 114 protrudes rearward from the facing surface portion 107 (the contact support surface 110) of the second substrate cover 106. It is set to be smaller than the projecting dimension (opening dimension before and after the insertion ports 56a, 56a) projecting rearward from the facing surface portion 107 (contact support surface 110) of the second substrate cover 106. For this reason, when the left side surface 32b of the symbol display device 30 comes into contact with the first restriction wall 114 by inserting the locking projections 34, 34 into the insertion openings 56a, 56a, the first restriction wall 114 is provided. And the left side surface 32b of the symbol display device 30 can be minimized.

  In addition, since the separation distance from the first restriction wall 114 to the second restriction wall 127 is formed so as to substantially coincide with the left and right width dimensions of the symbol display device 30, each of the locking protrusions 34 is made to correspond. When the symbol display device 30 is rotated by being inserted into the insertion port 56a, the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30 comes into contact with the inclined surface 127a formed on the second restriction wall 127. Therefore, when the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30 is moved so as to be close to the back unit 51, the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device is moved along the inclined guide surface 113 to the visible display unit 52 side (relationship). The stop projection 34 is moved in a direction in which the stop projection 34 is inserted into the insertion port 56a.

  That is, as the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30 is brought closer to the back unit 51, the first restriction wall 114 and the left side surface of the symbol display device 30 are inserted when the locking projection 34 is inserted into the insertion port 56a. The symbol display device 30 is moved in such a direction that the above-described gap generated between the symbol display device 30b and the first substrate cover 75, 106, 123 is finally moved to the front surface (frame portion 38) of the symbol display device 30. In this state, the left side surface 32 b of the symbol display device 30 can be brought into contact with the first restriction wall 114. Furthermore, on the base end side of the second restriction wall 127, there are a first contact portion 128a that contacts the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30 and a rear end of the first contact portion 128a. A first abutment guide piece 128 is formed that includes a first guide portion 128b that is provided in a row and is inclined in a direction away from the visible display portion 52 toward the rear. Accordingly, the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30 guided along the inclined guide surface 113 is positioned along the first guide portion 128b on the visible display portion 52 side (the locking projection 34 is connected to the insertion port 56a). This further moves the left side surface 32b of the symbol display device 30 closer to the first regulating wall 114 side.

  For this reason, the separation dimension from the first restriction wall 114 to the second restriction wall 127 (first contact portion 128a) and the width dimension between the left and right side surfaces 32b and 32c in the symbol display device 30 are substantially the same. The symbol display device 30 can be disposed in a matched state, and between the symbol display device 30 and the first restriction wall 114 and the second restriction wall 127 in a state where the symbol display device 30 is attached to the installation region S. The gap can be eliminated as much as possible. Movement in the left-right direction can be minimized. Therefore, even when vibration occurs due to transportation of the pachinko machine 10 or the game board 40 and opening / closing of the middle frame 12 with respect to the outer frame 11, it is possible to suppress the movement of the symbol display device 30 in the left-right direction as much as possible. .

(Regarding the upper and lower position restrictions of the symbol display device)
The base end portion of the pedestal member 130 that contacts the upper surface 32d of the symbol display device 30 has a second contact portion 133a that contacts the upper surface 32d of the symbol display device 30 and the second contact portion 133a. A second abutment guide piece 133 is formed which includes a second guide portion 133b which is provided continuously with the rear end and inclines in a direction away from the visible display portion 52 toward the rear. Therefore, when the symbol display device 30 is rotated by inserting the locking projections 34 into the corresponding insertion ports 56a, the upper surface 32d of the symbol display device is visible along the second guide portion 133b. It is moved to the part 52 side (installation member 67 side). That is, in a state where the front surface (frame portion 38) of the symbol display device 30 is in contact with the first to third substrate covers 75, 106, 123, the lower surface 32e of the symbol display device 30 is placed on the installation member 67. The upper surface 67a (the support plate portion 147 of the lower metal regulating piece 145) can be brought close to. For this reason, the separation dimension from the base member 130 (second contact part 133b) to the installation member 67 (support plate part 147) and the width dimension between the upper and lower surfaces 32d and 32e in the symbol display device 30 are approximately. The symbol display device 30 can be arranged in a state of matching, and movement in the vertical direction can be suppressed to a minimum with the symbol display device 30 attached to the installation region S.

  Further, a support plate portion 147 of the lower metal restricting piece 145 is disposed on the upper surface 67a of the installation member 67, and the support plate portion 147 is configured to support the lower surface 32e of the symbol display device 30. Yes. That is, the symbol display device 30 is reliably supported by the support plate portion 147 by bringing the symbol display device 30 close to the installation member 67 side by the second contact guide piece 133 of the base member 130. Therefore, the gap between each of the base member 130 and the installation member 67 and the symbol display device 30 can be eliminated as much as possible, and the symbol display device 30 is reliably supported by the support plate portion 147. Even if vibration is generated by carrying 10 or the game board 40 or opening / closing the middle frame 12 with respect to the outer frame 11, it is possible to suppress the symbol display device 30 from moving up and down as much as possible.

(Regarding position restrictions before and after the symbol display device)
In the relationship between the upper and lower lock members 135a and 135b and the symbol display device 30, the contact surface portion 136 of the upper and lower lock members 135a and 135b located at the locking position from the front position restricting portion (substrate cover 75, 106, 123). , 136 is set so as to substantially match the front and rear thickness dimensions of the symbol display device 30, and each of the substrate cover 75, 106, 123 is provided on the front position restricting portion (substrate cover 75, 106, 123). Projecting portions 75a, 106a, and 123a projecting rearward are formed on the opposing surface portions 76, 107, and 124, respectively. Therefore, when the upper and lower lock members 135a and 135b are rotationally displaced from the release position to the locking position, the protrusions 75a, 106a, and 123a or the symbol display device 30 (the frame portion 38 of the housing case 32) are deformed. At the same time, the lock members 135 a and 135 b are locked to the support portions 35 and 35 of the symbol display device 30. That is, since the contact surface portions 136 and 136 of the lock members 135a and 135b are pressed against the corresponding support portions 35 and 35 of the symbol display device 30, the pachinko machine 10 or the game board 40 is transported and the outer frame 11 is not moved. Even if vibration is generated by opening and closing the middle frame 12, it is possible to suppress the symbol display device 30 from moving in the front-rear direction as much as possible.

  Here, since each support portion 35 of the symbol display device 30 is formed with a reinforcing rib 35a on the inner side of the housing case 32, when the lock members 135a and 135b corresponding to the support portion 35 are in pressure contact, The housing case 32 (support portion 35) can be prevented from being deformed, whereby the symbol display device 30 can be more reliably prevented from moving in the front-rear direction and firmly fixed. Further, by forming the contact portions of the lock members 135a and 135b with the support portion 35 in a flat shape, the pressure applied to the lock members 135a and 135b and the support portion 35 can be dispersed, and the symbol display device 30 can be stabilized. Can be held. Since the support portion 35 of the symbol display device 30 has its end edge chamfered in an arc shape, when the lock members 135a and 135b are rotationally displaced from the release position to the locking position, the support portion 35 is provided. Can be easily brought into contact with and locked.

  That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the above-described front position restricting portions (substrate covers 75, 106, 123), lock members 135a, 135b, upper and lower position restricting portions (base member 130, installation member 67), first and The symbol display device 30 is connected to the game board 40 (the back unit 51) depending on the relationship between each of the second side position restriction portions (the first restriction wall 114 and the second restriction wall 127) and the symbol display device 30. The movement of the symbol display device 30 up and down, left and right, and back and forth in a state where is attached can be suppressed as much as possible. For this reason, even when the symbol display device 30 is enlarged and the weight is increased, the symbol display device 30 is vibrated by vibrations when the pachinko machine 10 or the game board 40 is transported or when the middle frame 12 is opened and closed with respect to the outer frame 11. The movement of the symbol display device 30 reduces the load applied to the members 67, 75, 106, 114, 123, 127, 130, 135a, and 135b, and the game board 40 (the back unit 51). The symbol display device 30 can be effectively prevented from falling off. In addition, since the pressure applied to the members 67, 75, 106, 114, 123, 127, 130, 135a, and 135b holding the symbol display device 30 is reduced, the resin portion is whitened and embrittled. Can be prevented.

(Regarding position restriction when elastic deformation of symbol display device)
Incidentally, the symbol display device 30 according to the embodiment includes a case main body 33 that surrounds the back surface and the outer periphery of the liquid crystal panel 31, and a front cover body 36 that is formed in a rectangular frame shape that is assembled to the opening front edge of the case main body 33. The front cover body 36 is assembled to a case body 33 to which the liquid crystal panel 31 is fixed. The liquid crystal panel 31 and the front cover body 36 are configured to abut only on the first reinforcing piece 37 a and the second reinforcing piece 37 b formed on the support wall portion 37 of the front cover body 36. That is, since a gap is defined between the liquid crystal panel 31 and the support wall portion 37, even if a dimensional error in resin molding occurs in the case body 33 or the front cover body 36, the case body 33 and the front cover body 36 can be forcibly assembled while being accompanied by elastic deformation.

  As described above, the liquid crystal panel 31 is housed in the housing case 32 so that the liquid crystal panel 31 can be easily reused. On the other hand, when the weight of the liquid crystal panel 31 increases, the pachinko machine 10 or the game board The housing case 32 may be elastically deformed by vibrations during transportation of 40 or opening / closing of the middle frame 12 with respect to the outer frame 11. In the embodiment, an upper metal restricting piece 140 is disposed at an upper position of the open end side frame portion 58 in the back unit 51, and a lower metal restricting piece 145 is disposed below the back unit 51, The upper and lower metal restricting pieces 140 and 145 are configured to abut on the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30. Therefore, even when the housing case 32 is elastically deformed by vibration or the like and a force for moving the symbol display device 30 in a direction in which the locking projection 34 is removed from the insertion port 56a, the symbol display device 30 is moved. The metal restricting pieces 140 and 145 can be reliably restricted.

  Here, the first restriction piece 142 in the upper metal restriction piece 140 abuts in the vicinity of the upper corner of the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30, and the second restriction piece in the lower metal restriction piece 145. Reference numeral 148 contacts the vicinity of the lower corner portion of the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30. Specifically, the first restricting piece 142 is configured to abut between the formation position of the upper corner portion reinforcing piece 37a formed in the housing case 32 and the upper end portion, and the second restricting piece 142 The portion 148 is configured to abut between the position where the lower corner portion reinforcing piece 37a formed in the housing case 32 is formed and the lower end portion. That is, since the first and second restricting pieces 142 and 148 are configured to contact the highly rigid portion of the symbol display device 30 (the housing case 32), the first and second restricting pieces 142 are provided. , 148 abuts against the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30, the position of the symbol display device 30 can be reliably regulated.

  The first and second restricting pieces 142 and 148 of the upper and lower metal restricting pieces 140 and 145 are located on the same straight line as the vertical surface 127a of the second restricting wall 127, and the first and second restricting pieces Each of the piece parts 142 and 148 is configured to always be separated from the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30 installed in the installation area S. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the upper and lower metal restricting pieces 140 and 145 from coming into contact with the synthetic resin containing case 32 and being damaged. Here, the first and second restricting pieces 142 and 148 and the right side surface 32c of the symbol display device 30 are slightly equal to the thickness of the first contact guide piece 128 (first contact portion 128a). Since the symbol display device 30 (accommodating case 32) is only slightly elastically deformed, the symbol display device 30 (accommodating case 32) contacts the first and second restricting piece portions 142 and 148. Since the position is controlled in contact, the symbol display device 30 can be effectively prevented from moving in the left-right direction due to vibration such as when the pachinko machine 10 or the game board 40 is transported or when the middle frame 12 is opened and closed with respect to the outer frame 11. .

  In addition, the projecting dimension from which each of the first restricting piece 142 and the second restricting piece 148 protrudes from the front position restricting portion (substrate covers 75, 106, 123) is such that the second restricting wall 127 is located at the front position. Since it is set to be smaller than the projecting dimension projecting from the restricting portion (substrate covers 75, 106, 123), when the symbol display device 30 is attached or detached, the symbol display device 30 has the first and second restricting piece portions 142, 148. Are prevented from interfering with each other, and the attaching / detaching operation of the symbol display device 30 is not hindered.

(Protection of connector receiving part and protection of wiring)
As described above, the upper position of the installation area S of the symbol display device 30 is determined by the first lower protective wall 81, the second lower protective wall 112, and the lower surface portion 91 of the first wiring holding member 90. The upper position of the installation area S is partitioned. Each connector provided in the first light emitting device 71 on the upper side of the lower surface portion 91 of the first lower protective wall 81, the second lower protective wall 112, and the first wiring holding member 90. Since the receiving portions 73 and 74 and the connector receiving portions 103 and 104 provided above the second light emitting device 101 are arranged, the symbol display device 30 is locked to the insertion port 56a of the insertion receiving portion 56. Even when the symbol display device 30 is shaken up and down when the protrusion 34 is inserted, the symbol display device 30 is prevented from coming into contact with the connector receiving portions 73, 74, 103, 104, and the connector receiving portion 73, 74, 103, 104 can be prevented from being damaged. The first lower protective wall 81, the second lower protective wall 112, and the lower surface portion 91 of the first wiring holding member 90 protrude rearward from the corresponding connector receiving portions 73, 74, 103, 104. Since it is comprised, it can prevent more reliably that the symbol display apparatus 30 contacts the connector receiving parts 73,74,103,104.

  Further, the connector receiving portion 105 provided on the pivot end side of the second light emitting device 101 is pivot end side than the first regulating wall 114 for regulating the position of the left side surface 32b of the symbol display device 30. It is provided so that it may be located in. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the left side surface 32b of the symbol display device 30 from coming into contact with the connector receiving portion 105 and prevent the connector receiving portion 105 from being damaged by the bond in which the symbol display device 30 is disposed in the installation area S. be able to.

  Further, in the first light emitting device 71, the connector receiving portions 73 and 74 protrude to the rear side from the connector receiving portions 73 and 74 on the side facing the ball tank 26 provided on the inner frame 12. First and second upper protective walls 82 and 83 are formed. For this reason, when the game board 40 is disposed with respect to the game board holding part 24 of the middle frame 12, even when the game board 40 is shaken up and down, the ball tank 26 is connected to the connector receiving parts 73 and 74. The contact is blocked by the first and second upper protective walls 82 and 83, and the connector receiving portions 73 and 74 can be prevented from being damaged. Further, the first and second upper protective walls 82 and 83 are protruded rearward from the connector receiving portions 73 and 74, so that the contact between the ball tank 26 of the inner frame 12 and the connector receiving portions 73 and 74 is achieved. It can be stopped more reliably.

  Further, the wiring HA connecting the connector receiving portion 74 for relay connection in the first light emitting device 71 and the connector receiving portion 104 for relay connection in the second light emitting device 101 is connected to the first light emitting device. 71 is inserted between the first upper protective wall 82 formed and the first wiring hook 84, and behind the first solenoid 64a disposed between the first light emitting device 71 and the second light emitting device 101.

The device 30 is held in a state of extending in the vertical direction on the second wiring holding member 95 provided in the insertion receiving portion 56 located below the connector receiving portion 105 on the pivot end side from the installation region S. The Therefore, the second light emitting device 101 and the relay board 68 are connected when the symbol display device 30 is attached to the game board 40 (back unit 51) or when the game board 40 is attached to the game board holding portion 24 of the middle frame 12. The wiring HB to be pinched and caught can be prevented, and the mounting workability of the symbol display device 30 and the game board 40 can be improved. Further, a curved piece 57 is formed in the back unit 51 at a position below the second wiring holding member 95, and the second light emitting device 101 and the relay substrate 68 are connected by the curved piece 57. Since the wiring HB is prevented from protruding to the pivot end side, the wiring HB can be more reliably prevented from being pinched when the game board 40 is attached to the game board holding part 24.

Thus, by electrically connecting each of the various electrical components 64a, 64b, 71 disposed on the upper frame portion 53 of the back unit 51 to the relay board 68 via the second light emitting device 101, Since each of the electrical components 64a, 64b, 71, 101 can be electrically connected to the overall control device 157, the connection work of Koseno is simplified.

(About heat dissipation of the first light emitting device)
In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, a plurality of character decorations 60 are formed above the visible display part 52 of the game board 40, and the first light emitting device 71 provided on the back side (back unit 51) of the game board 40. Thus, each character decoration 60 is caused to emit light. Here, on the first LED substrate 72 in the first light emitting device 71, a plurality of LEDs 72 a corresponding to one character of the character decoration unit 60 are configured to constitute an LED group G connected in series. The resistor 72c is disposed in the controller to perform static drive control. Specifically, in the first light emitting device 71 according to the embodiment, nine LED groups G and nine resistors 72c are provided, and the total heat generation amount of the first light emitting device 71 is large. It has become.

  Therefore, in the first light emitting device 71, a gap is defined between the back surface of the first LED substrate 72 on which the resistor 72c is mounted and the first substrate cover 75, and the first light emitting device 71 includes the first light emitting device 71. A plurality of upper heat radiating ports 79 are formed above the contact portion with the frame portion 38 of the symbol display device 30 in the substrate cover 75, and further below the contact portion between the first substrate cover 75 and the frame portion 38. A plurality of lower heat radiating ports 80 are formed. That is, external air introduced into the first substrate cover 75 through the lower heat radiation port 80 passes through the back surface of the first LED substrate 72 and the first substrate cover 75 to the upper heat radiation port 79. The heat exchange efficiency between the heat generated by the resistor 72c and the external air flowing through the first substrate cover 75 is improved. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the resistor 72c of the first LED board 72 from overheating. In addition, since the resistor 72c is disposed so as to be positioned between the upper heat radiating port 79 and the lower heat radiating port 80, the external air flowing through the first substrate cover 75, the resistor 72c, The heat exchange is effectively performed, and prompt heat dissipation can be realized.

  In addition, a gap is defined on the surface side of the first LED board 72 with the upper frame portion 53 of the back unit 51, so that the first board is formed from the lower heat radiation port 80.

Further, a projecting portion 75a protruding rearward is formed on the facing surface portion 76 of the first substrate cover 75, and the frame portion 38 comes into contact with the projecting portion 75a. Accordingly, since a larger gap can be formed between the facing surface portion 76 of the first substrate cover 75 and the display surface 31a of the liquid crystal panel 31, the flow of air passing from the lower heat radiating port 80 to the upper heat radiating port 79 is smoother. Can be performed.

  Further, a block-like wiring pattern portion 72b is formed on the back surface of the first LED substrate 72, and the resistor 72c is mounted so as to be conducted through the two block-like wiring pattern portions 72b. That is, when the resistor 72c comes into contact with the block-shaped wiring pattern portion 72b having a large area, the heat with the external air flowing through the first substrate cover 75 is also passed through the block-shaped wiring pattern portion 72b. Exchange can be performed, the heat exchange efficiency is improved, and the heat dissipation effect is further improved.

  Here, the upper heat radiating port 79 is formed to extend from the facing surface portion 76 of the first substrate cover 75 to the upper surface of the peripheral wall portion 77, and the lower heat radiating port 80 includes the first heat radiating port 80. The substrate cover 75 is formed so as to extend from the facing surface portion 76 to the lower surface of the peripheral wall portion 77. For this reason, it is possible to secure an opening area necessary for taking in external air to the first substrate cover 75 and discharging air from the first substrate cover 75. Further, since each of the upper heat radiating port 79 and the lower heat radiating port 80 extends in the vertical direction, it is possible to create a linear flow of external air in the first substrate cover 75 in the vertical direction. The air in the 1st board | substrate cover 75 can be replaced | exchanged efficiently, and it can prevent that heat exchange efficiency falls. Since the first substrate cover 75 is provided with protrusions 76a between the adjacent upper heat radiation ports 79 and between the adjacent lower heat radiation ports 80, the first substrate cover 75 is provided. The rigidity of the first board cover 75 is improved and the first board cover 75 is prevented from being deformed when the frame section 38 of the symbol display device 30 is brought into contact with and supported by the facing surface section 76 of the first board cover 75. it can.
