Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly, to electrical wiring disposed in a gaming machine.

  Conventionally, gaming machines are provided with electrical wiring for electrically connecting internal devices provided in the gaming machine or for electrically connecting the outside of the gaming machine and the internal device. . In such an electrical wiring, noise may get on the electrical wiring for some reason, and each device may malfunction due to the generation of noise. In the worst case, each device may be damaged.

  Therefore, as a measure to prevent problems caused by noise generated in gaming machines, a soft magnetic material-containing member (for example, a ferrite core) containing a soft magnetic material such as ferrite is arranged in a manner to hang in the middle of electrical wiring. Even when noise is generated, there has been proposed one that can remove the noise by the action of the soft magnetic material-containing member (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 7-116315 A

  However, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 described above, a soft magnetic material-containing member such as a ferrite core is arranged in a hanging state in the middle of the electrical wiring, and a heavy one such as a ferrite core is used as an electric machine. If it is in the state of hanging in the middle of the wiring, for example, it moves during the transport of the gaming machine, it becomes a state of pulling the electrical wiring abnormally, or provided around the soft magnetic material containing member in the gaming machine There is a risk of colliding with a member. As a result, the electric wiring may be pulled and disconnected, or the soft magnetic material-containing member may collide with a member provided around it and the soft magnetic material-containing member or the surrounding member may be damaged. There is.
