The protrusions 124 and 125 are formed along the side surface frame parts 121a and 121b, and are arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction with the gate sensor 63d interposed therebetween. The protrusion dimensions of the protrusions 124 and 125 are set so that the distance between the protrusions 124 and 125 is the same as the width dimension of the gate sensor 63d.

  According to this configuration, when the gate sensor 63d is inserted into the insertion hole 111, the gate sensor 63d moves forward with its side surface portions fitted in the side surface groove portions 123a and 123b. The displacement of the gate sensor 63d in the vertical direction is restricted by the fitting. Further, since the gate sensor 63d is sandwiched between the protrusions 124 and 125, the positional deviation of the gate sensor 63d in the left-right direction is restricted. That is, the position of the gate sensor 63d in the direction along the board surface of the game board 33 is regulated by the side frame parts 121a and 121b, and the moving direction of the gate sensor 63d is defined in one direction (forward).

  The front surface portion of the gate sensor 63d enters the front groove portion 123c, and the front surface of the gate sensor 63d comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the front frame portion 121c, thereby restricting the forward movement of the gate sensor 63d. Thereby, the gate sensor 63d is held with respect to the sensor holder 92 in a state where the relative position of the gate sensor 63d with respect to the sensor holder 92 is defined.

  Next, the configuration of the rear surface side of the base portion 101 will be described.

  In a situation where the part where the detection hole 122 is formed enters the frame part 121, a part of the gate sensor 63 d protrudes rearward from the base part 101 and is disposed in the through hole 81. The sensor holder 92 is provided with a pair of arm portions 131 and 132 that hold the protruding portion. The arm portions 131 and 132 are formed so as to extend rearward from the peripheral edge portion of the insertion hole 111, and are opposed to each other in the left-right direction via the gate sensor 63d. The gate sensor 63 d is attached to the sensor holder 92 by passing between the arm portions 131 and 132 and entering the frame portion 121 through the insertion hole 111.

  Here, since the arm parts 131 and 132 have different configurations, each will be described. Here, for convenience of explanation, in the following explanation, as shown in FIG. 7A, an arm arranged near the end of the game area Z, specifically, on the inner rail portion 34a side that defines the game area Z. The part 131 is referred to as a first arm part 131, and the arm part 132 on the opposite side is referred to as a second arm part 132. The 1st arm part 131 is arrange | positioned on the opposite side to the side in which the symbol display apparatus 43 is provided.

  In the through gate 39 disposed on the opposite side via the variable display unit 40, the first arm portion 131 is disposed on the opposite side to the side on which the symbol display device 43 is provided. A through gate 39 in which the first arm portion 131 and the second arm portion 132 are arranged in reverse is attached.

  First, the first arm portion 131 will be described. The first arm portion 131 has a C shape when viewed in the front-rear direction of the game board 33, and is formed so as to cover one side surface of the gate sensor 63d. Specifically, the first arm portion 131 includes a base wall portion 140 that is disposed to be opposed to one side surface of the gate sensor 63d at a predetermined interval, specifically, by a projection dimension of the protrusion 124. The base wall part 140 is formed by extending a part of the first side face frame part 121a rearward. That is, a series of wall portions are formed by the first side frame portion 121a and the base wall portion 140, and the protrusions 124 are provided from midway along the series of wall portions. By providing the protrusions 124, a surface intersecting the front-rear direction of the game board 33, specifically, a step surface 141 orthogonal to the front-rear direction is formed. The rear end of the base wall 140 is the same as the rear end of the gate sensor 63d.

  A pair of hook-shaped portions 142 and 143 are integrally formed at both ends in the vertical direction of the base wall portion 140 so as to sandwich the gate sensor 63d from the vertical direction. The hook-shaped portions 142 and 143 are formed from the base wall portion 140 toward the second arm portion 132 and are bent toward the upper and lower surfaces of the gate sensor 63d. The distance between the tip portions of the hooks 142 and 143 is set to be the same as the thickness dimension of the gate sensor 63d (the length dimension in the through direction of the detection hole 122). The gate sensor 63d is held by the first arm portion 131 by being sandwiched between the tip portions of the hook-like portions 142 and 143. In other words, the base wall part 140 and the hook-like parts 142 and 143 form a groove 144 that opens toward the second arm part 132 with the base wall part 140 as a bottom, and the open end of the groove 144 is formed. It can be said that the gate sensor 63d is held by the first arm portion 131 when the gate sensor 63d is sandwiched between the first and second arms 131. The groove 144 is formed so as to communicate with the side surface groove portion 123 a provided in the first side surface frame portion 121 a through the insertion hole 111.

  Here, the first arm portion 131 is formed with an internal space 145 surrounded by the base wall portion 140 and the flange portions 142 and 143. The internal space 145 is formed to extend in the front-rear direction. Further, the first arm portion 131 is formed with an insertion port 146 that opens the inner space 145 rearward, and the gate sensor 63d is inserted into the inner space 145 from the rear via the insertion port 146 and the groove 144. You can enter. In view of the fact that a series of wall portions are formed by a part of the base wall portion 140 and the first side frame portion 121a, and the space between the series of wall portions and the gate sensor 63d becomes an internal space 145. It can also be said that the internal space 145 is formed by the provision of the protrusion 124 that comes into contact with the gate sensor 63d from the middle position of the series of wall portions.

  Next, the second arm part 132 will be described. The second arm portion 132 is formed so that the protrusion 125 extends rearward, and the rear end of the second arm portion 132 is the same as the rear end of the gate sensor 63d. The second arm part 132 restricts the gate sensor 63d from coming off.

  Specifically, the distal end side (rear side) of the second arm portion 132 is a free end, and can be elastically deformed in a direction away from the first arm portion 131. A claw portion 151 that protrudes toward the first arm portion 131 is provided at the distal end portion of the second arm portion 132. The claw 151 is caught by the rear end surface of the gate sensor 63d in a situation where the gate sensor 63d is attached, specifically, in a situation where the front surface of the gate sensor 63d is in contact with the inner wall surface of the front frame portion 121c. Is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, corner projections 152 that define the front and back (up and down) of the gate sensor 63d are provided at the corners of the front frame 121c and the second side frame 121b in the frame 121. In correspondence with the corner convex portion 152, the gate sensor 63d is provided with a chamfered portion 153 formed by chamfering a corner portion of the gate sensor 63d (see FIG. 8). The corner convex portion 152 includes a flat surface 152a that intersects both the front frame portion 121c and the second side frame portion 121b, and the chamfered portion 153 is chamfered so as to come into contact with the flat surface 152a. . When the gate sensor 63d enters the frame portion 121, the relative positions of the corner convex portion 152 and the chamfered portion 153 are set so that the corner convex portion 152 is fitted to the chamfered portion 153.

  According to such a configuration, when the gate sensor 63d is inserted in a state where the arrangement of the both is reversed so that the chamfered portion 153 and the corner convex portion 152 are not fitted to each other, the front surface of the gate sensor 63d is the end of the corner convex portion 152. A further movement of the gate sensor 63d is restricted in contact with the portion. In this case, the claw portion 151 is not caught on the rear end surface of the gate sensor 63d.

  On the other hand, when the gate sensor 63d is inserted so that the chamfered portion 153 is fitted to the corner convex portion 152, the chamfered portion 153 comes into contact with the flat surface 152a and the front surface of the gate sensor 63d is brought into contact with the front frame portion 121c. Touch. In this case, the claw portion 151 is caught on the rear end surface of the gate sensor 63d. Thereby, the vertical direction of the gate sensor 63d is uniquely defined.

  The attachment of the gate sensor 63d to the sensor holder 92 will be described with reference to FIG. FIGS. 10A to 10C are explanatory views for explaining how the gate sensor 63d is attached to the sensor holder 92. FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 10A, the gate sensor 63d is slightly tilted with respect to the front-rear direction, and the chamfered portion 153 of the gate sensor 63d is aligned with the claw portion 151, and the gate sensor 63d is moved to the arm portions 131 and 132. Insert between. As a result, the second arm portion 132 is elastically deformed toward the side away from the first arm portion 131.

  In this case, an internal space 145 into which the gate sensor 63d can enter is provided, and the internal space 145 is opened rearward through the insertion port 146. Therefore, the gate sensor 63d and the arm are in correspondence with the internal space 145. There is play in the width direction between the portions 131 and 132. Thereby, the gate sensor 63d can be easily passed between the arm portions 131 and 132 by inserting the gate sensor 63d into the internal space 145 (in a state of being biased toward the base wall portion 140). it can.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, the gate sensor 63d inserted between the arm portions 131 and 132 has a chamfered portion 153 and a peripheral portion of the gate sensor 63d with respect to the surface of the second arm portion 132 on the first arm portion 131 side. It is guided to the insertion hole 111 while sliding. In this case, the gate sensor 63d is gradually corrected in the front-rear direction as it is inserted.

  Here, the corner sensor 152 is arranged on the second arm part 132 side, and the gate sensor 63d is inserted so that the chamfered part 153 is arranged on the second arm part 132 side correspondingly, so the gate sensor 63d. The portion on the front side is disposed on the second arm portion 132 side. This makes it difficult for the gate sensor 63d to be caught on the protrusion 124.

  That is, if the chamfered portion 153 is not provided or if the chamfered portion 153 and the corner convex portion 152 are provided on the first arm portion 131 side, the corner portion of the gate sensor 63d is located on the inner side of the second arm portion 132. Abut against the surface. In this case, compared with the case where the chamfered portion 153 is provided, the front side portion of the gate sensor 63d is disposed on the base wall portion 140 side, so that the front surface of the gate sensor 63d is the stepped surface 141 ( There is a risk that the forward movement of the gate sensor 63d may be restricted due to contact with the rear end surface of the protrusion 124.

  On the other hand, according to this configuration, the chamfered portion 153 and the corner convex portion 152 are provided on the second arm portion 132 side so that the chamfered portion 153 and its peripheral edge slide with respect to the second arm portion 132. By inserting the gate sensor 63d obliquely with respect to the front-rear direction, the front surface portion of the gate sensor 63d is naturally inserted into the insertion hole 111 without being caught by the stepped surface 141.

  The gate sensor 63d is inserted along the groove 144 toward the insertion hole 111. Specifically, the gate sensor 63d is guided toward the insertion hole 111 while sliding with respect to the tip portions of the hook-like portions 142 and 143.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10C, the gate sensor 63d is guided to a position between the protrusions 124 and 125. In this case, the corner convex portion 152 and the chamfered portion 153 face each other. Then, by inserting the gate sensor 63d as it is, the chamfered portion 153 comes into contact with the flat surface 152a, and the detection hole 122 portion of the gate sensor 63d is accommodated in the frame portion 121. In this case, since the rear end surface of the gate sensor 63d passes through the claw portion 151, the claw portion 151 returns to the natural state, and the claw portion 151 is locked to the rear end surface of the gate sensor 63d (FIG. 7A). reference). Thereby, the backward movement of the gate sensor 63d is restricted. Therefore, removal of the gate sensor 63d from the sensor holder 92 is restricted, and the gate sensor 63d and the sensor holder 92 are unitized.

  As described above, by inserting the gate sensor 63d in an inclined state, the gate sensor 63d is naturally guided between the protrusions 124 and 125 through the insertion hole 111, and the gate sensor 63d is attached to the sensor holder 92. Thereby, the attachment operation | work of the gate sensor 63d to the sensor holder 92 can be performed easily.

  Next, the wiring 91 will be described. A sensor-side connector 161 is provided at one end of the wiring 91, and a board-side connector 162 is provided at the other end. As shown in FIG. 8, the sensor-side connector 161 is inserted into the rear end face of the gate sensor 63d while being prevented from coming off. Thereby, the wiring 91 is unitized with the gate sensor 63d. When the through gate 39 is attached to the game board 33, the wiring 91 passes through the through hole 81 and is led out to the back side of the game board 33.

  The board-side connector 162 is inserted into a corresponding connector receiver provided on the relay board 64. As a result, the gate sensor 63d and the relay board 64 are electrically connected via the wiring 91, and the gate sensor 63d and the main controller 65b are electrically connected. Then, main controller 65b executes various processes such as execution of internal lottery based on the signal detected by gate sensor 63d.

  Here, when the through gate 39 is attached to the game board 33, the wiring 91 may interfere with the inner wall of the through hole 81, and the wiring 91 may not easily pass through the through hole 81. For this reason, there is a concern that the workability of the attaching work of the through gate 39 is lowered.

  On the other hand, the first arm portion 131 is formed so as to hold the wiring 91 in a detachable state. The holding of the wiring 91 by the first arm unit 131 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C in FIG. 7A, and is an explanatory diagram for explaining a case where a part of the wiring 91 is inserted. FIG. 12 shows the wiring 91 in the first arm portion 131. It is a side view of the through gate 39 when a part is hold | maintained.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the gate sensor 63 d is fitted in the groove 144. Accordingly, the groove 144 is closed by the gate sensor 63d, and the internal space 145 is formed by the base wall portion 140, the hook-like portions 142 and 143, and the gate sensor 63d. In other words, the gate sensor 63d forms a part of the wall portion that defines the internal space 145. The internal space 145 is opened rearward through the insertion port 146 (see FIG. 9A), and the wiring 91 can be inserted forward from the insertion port 146.

  The internal space 145 is elongated in the vertical direction, and is narrowed toward the both end sides. Specifically, the base wall portion 140 is formed in a substantially arc shape that protrudes outward, and the curved surfaces 142a and 143a that protrude in the opposite directions on the inner side of the flange portions 142 and 143. Is formed. The curved surfaces 142a and 143a are formed corresponding to the curvature of the wiring 91. More specifically, the curved surfaces 142a and 143a are formed to be the same as or slightly larger than the curvature of the wiring 91. Thereby, the insertion port 146 becomes narrow toward the both ends in a longitudinal direction from the center part.

  According to such a configuration, when the bent portion 171 formed by bending the wiring 91 is inserted into the internal space 145 through the insertion port 146, the bent portion 171 becomes the frame portion 121 as shown in FIG. 12. Abutting the ridge 124, further insertion is restricted. In this case, the bent portion 171 spreads along the side surface of the gate sensor 63d and the inner wall portion of the base wall portion 140 by the restoring force, and is guided to the curved surfaces 142a and 143a. The wiring 91 is guided along the curved surfaces 142a and 143a to the vicinity of the apexes of the curved surfaces 142a and 143a, and the respective portions (the base wall portion 140, the gate sensor 63d, and the hook-shaped portion 142) that define the internal space 145 at the positions. , 143). The wiring 91 is held by the contact.

  In particular, since the curvature of the curved surfaces 142a and 143a is set to be approximately the same as the diameter of the wiring 91, the portion of the wiring 91 that is in contact with the curved surface 142a is sandwiched by the curved surface 142a and Of these, the portion in contact with the curved surface 143a is sandwiched by the curved surface 143a. Thereby, the positional deviation of the wiring 91 in the internal space 145 is restricted.

  Note that the distance from the apex of the curved surfaces 142a, 143a to the tip portions of the hook-like portions 142, 143 in the vertical direction is set to be larger than the diameter of the wiring 91. As a result, the hook-like portions 142 and 143 can hold one wire 91 even if the groove 144 is not closed by the gate sensor 63d.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 12, since the internal space 145 is formed along the front-rear direction of the game board 33, a part of the wiring 91 is also held along the front-rear direction. In this case, the wiring 91 is held in a state of extending backward from the internal space 145. In addition, since the bent portion 171 that is an intermediate portion of the wiring 91 is inserted, the wiring 91 is held in a state of being folded in one reciprocal half. As a result, the wiring 91 is held in a state in which it does not easily sag.

  On the other hand, the wiring 91 is pulled out by grasping the board-side connector 162 and pulling the wiring 91, and the holding by the first arm portion 131 is released. That is, it can be said that the wiring 91 is held by the first arm portion 131 in a detachable state.

  In view of the fact that the protrusion 124 restricts the movement of the gate sensor 63d toward the base wall 140, it can be said that the protrusion 124 secures an internal space 145 into which the wiring 91 can enter.

  Next, the manufacturing procedure of the game board 33 including the attachment of the through gate 39 to the game board 33 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the attachment of the through gate 39 to the game board 33.

  First, attachment work on the surface side of the game board 33 is performed. Specifically, a nail 42 and various decorations are attached. At the time of the attachment, the through gate 39 is attached.

  Specifically, first, the wiring 91 is accommodated in the internal space 145 of the first arm portion 131 so that the wiring 91 does not get in the way. Specifically, the wiring 91 connected to the gate sensor 63d is bundled in an elongated loop shape so that the board-side connector 162 is disposed at the tip portion. In this case, a bent portion 171 is formed. Then, the bent portion 171 is inserted in the longitudinal direction of the insertion port 146 to the position where it comes into contact with the protrusion 124 from the rear. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 13A, the wiring 91 is held rearward, that is, in a direction along the insertion direction into the through hole 81. In this state, the board-side connector 162 is disposed on the distal end side that is drawn backward from the first arm portion 131.

  The through gate 39 in this state is attached to the game board 33. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13A, the through gate 39 is inserted into the through hole 81 of the game board 33 from the front side while performing alignment so that the protrusion 104 enters the protrusion hole 105.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 13A, the through gate 39 is inserted into the through hole 81 from the surface side of the game board 33 because the wiring 91 is held in the direction along the insertion direction of the wiring 91 into the through hole 81. Then, the wiring 91 is inserted without interfering with the through hole 81.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 13B, the base portion 101 comes into contact with the surface of the game board 33. By fixing the screw at the abutted position, the through gate 39 is fixed to the game board 33 in a state where a part of the through gate 39 is fitted in the through hole 81. If attention is paid to the fact that the through gate 39 is attached, the insertion direction in which the wiring 91 is inserted into the through hole 81 can be said to be the attachment direction of the through gate 39.

  Thereafter, various game devices such as the symbol display device 43 and the relay board 64 are attached on the back side of the game board 33. In this case, since the wiring 91 of the through gate 39 is maintained, it is unlikely to obstruct the attachment. Thereby, the fall of workability | operativity of attachment work, such as the symbol display apparatus 43, is suppressed.

  In particular, the first arm portion 131 holding the wiring 91 is disposed near the end opposite to the center side where the symbol display device 43 is disposed, that is, on the inner rail portion 34a side. Thereby, compared with the case where the 1st arm part 131 is arrange | positioned at the symbol display apparatus 43 side, the wiring 91 becomes difficult to become obstructive in the attachment operation | work of the symbol display apparatus 43. FIG.

  After completing the installation work, connect the wiring. Specifically, the wiring connector is connected to the corresponding connector receptacle from the back side of the game board 33. In particular, in the connection work of the wiring 91 of the through gate 39, the board-side connector 162 of the wiring 91 led out to the back side of the game board 33 is pulled. Thereby, the holding of the wiring 91 is released. Then, the board side connector 162 is inserted into the corresponding connector receptacle of the relay board 64. Thereby, the gate sensor 63d and the main controller 65b are electrically connected via the wiring 91 and the relay substrate 64.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described based on the block diagram of FIG. In FIG. 14, a power supply line is indicated by a double line arrow, and a signal line is indicated by a solid line arrow.

  A main control board 201 provided in the main control device 65b incorporates a main control circuit 202 and a power failure monitoring circuit 203. A CPU chip 204 is mounted on the main control circuit 202. The CPU chip 204 temporarily stores various control programs executed by the CPU chip 204 and ROM 205 storing fixed value data, and various data when executing the control program stored in the ROM 205. And a RAM 206 as a memory for the memory, and various circuits such as an interrupt circuit, a timer circuit, and a data input / output circuit.

  The CPU chip 204 is provided with an input port and an output port. Connected to the input side of the CPU chip 204 are a power failure monitoring circuit 203 provided on the main control board 201, a payout control board 211 provided on the payout control device 82, and a switch group (not shown). In this case, the power failure monitoring circuit 203 is connected to a power source and launch control board 215 provided in the power source and launch control device 83, and power is supplied to the CPU chip 204 via the power failure monitoring circuit 203.

  On the other hand, a power failure monitoring circuit 203, a payout control board 211, and a relay terminal board 219 are connected to the output side of the CPU chip 204. Various commands such as a prize ball command are output to the payout control board 211. Various commands and the like are output from the main control circuit 202 to the sound lamp control board 221 provided in the sound lamp control device 66a via the relay terminal plate 219.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 203 relays between the main control circuit 202 and the power source and launch control board 215, and monitors a DC stable voltage of 24 volts that is the maximum voltage output from the power source and launch control board 215.

  The payout control board 211 performs payout control of prize balls and rental balls by the payout device 78. The CPU 212 that is an arithmetic unit includes a ROM 213 that stores a control program executed by the CPU 212, fixed value data, and the like, and a RAM 214 that is used as a work memory or the like.

  The CPU 212 of the payout control board 211 is provided with an input / output port. The main control circuit 202, the power and launch control board 215, and the back pack board are connected to the input side of the CPU 212. Further, the main control circuit 202 and the back pack substrate are connected to the output side of the CPU 212.

  The power source and launch control board 215 includes a power source unit 216 and a launch control unit 217. The power supply unit 216 is connected to, for example, a commercial power supply (external power supply) in a game hall or the like. Then, based on the external power supplied from the commercial power supply, necessary operating power is generated for each of the main control circuit 202, the payout control board 211, etc., and the generated operating power is indicated by a double line arrow. This is supplied to the main control circuit 202 and the payout control board 211 through the path. The launch control unit 217 is responsible for launch control of the game ball launch mechanism 35, and the game ball launch mechanism 35 is driven when predetermined launch conditions are met.

  The sound lamp control board 221 controls the display control device 225. The CPU 222 that is an arithmetic unit includes a ROM 223 that stores a control program executed by the CPU 222, fixed value data, and the like, and a RAM 224 that is used as a work memory or the like.

  The CPU 222 of the sound lamp control board 221 is provided with an input / output port. A main control circuit 202 is connected to the input side of the CPU 222 through a relay terminal board 219 and controls the display control device 225 based on various commands output from the main control circuit 202. The display control device 225 controls the symbol display device 43 based on a display command input from the sound lamp control board 221.

  According to the embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

  A first arm portion 131 that forms an internal space 145 that can accommodate the wiring 91 is provided between the sensor holder 92 and the gate sensor 63d. As a result, the wiring 91 is unlikely to hang down by holding the wiring 91 on the first arm portion 131. Therefore, since the wiring 91 can easily pass through the through hole 81, the attaching operation of the through gate 39 can be easily performed.

  In addition, a protrusion 124 that comes into contact with the gate sensor 63d is provided from an intermediate position of a series of wall portions including the base wall portion 140 and the first side surface frame portion 121a. As a result, the gate sensor 63d can be positioned with the internal space 145 secured.

  Further, when the bent portion 171 is inserted into the internal space 145, the bent portion 171 comes into contact with the protrusion 124, and further insertion is restricted by the contact. That is, the insertion amount of the wiring 91 is regulated by the protrusion 124. As a result, it is possible to avoid the disadvantage that the wiring 91 is excessively inserted and the wiring 91 is difficult to be removed.

  That is, when paying attention to the stability of the shape of the wiring 91, it is preferable that the insertion amount of the wiring 91 is large. However, when the insertion amount increases, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to release the holding of the wiring 91.

  On the other hand, according to this embodiment, since the amount of insertion can be adjusted by the position of the protrusion 124, the amount of insertion in which the shape of the wiring 91 is stabilized within a range in which the holding of the wiring 91 is easily released. Can be set to

  As a defining portion that defines the upper and lower sides of the gate sensor 63d, a corner convex portion 152 is provided on the second arm portion 132 side of the frame portion 121, and a chamfered portion 153 is provided on the gate sensor 63d. As a result, by inserting the gate sensor 63d into the frame portion 121 so that the chamfered portion 153 abuts the corner convex portion 152, the claw portion 151 is caught by the gate sensor 63d, and the falling of the gate sensor 63d is restricted. The

  Here, when the chamfered portion 153 and the corner convex portion 152 are provided on the second arm portion 132 side, the gate sensor 63d is passed when the gate sensor 63d passes between the first arm portion 131 and the second arm portion 132. The front side portion of the projection is less likely to be caught on the stepped surface 141 (the rear end surface of the protrusion 124). Thereby, the gate sensor 63d can be easily passed through the insertion hole 111.

  That is, by providing the protrusions 124, the gate sensor 63d can be positioned in a state where the internal space 145 that can accommodate the wiring 91 is secured, and the insertion amount of the wiring 91 can be regulated. On the other hand, a step surface 141 is formed. For this reason, when passing the gate sensor 63d through the insertion hole 111, the front surface of the gate sensor 63d is caught by the stepped surface 141, and there is a concern that workability of the work of attaching the gate sensor 63d to the sensor holder 92 is lowered.

  On the other hand, according to this configuration, the chamfered portion 153 is disposed on the second arm portion 132 side. Thereby, when the gate sensor 63d is inserted, the front surface of the gate sensor 63d is biased toward the second arm portion 132 compared to the configuration in which the chamfered portion 153 is disposed on the first arm portion 131 side. . Therefore, since the front surface of the gate sensor 63d is not easily caught by the step surface 141, it is possible to avoid a decrease in workability. Therefore, inconveniences that may be caused by providing the protrusion 124 can be avoided.

  In addition, since the through gate 39 is disposed in the game area Z on the upstream side of the general winning opening 36, the operation port 38, and the like, when the wiring 91 hangs down, it is likely to become an obstacle during the mounting operation. On the other hand, by holding the wiring 91, it is possible to easily perform the attaching operation of the general winning opening 36 and the like.

  The internal space 145 is opened rearward, and a groove 144 is provided so that the gate sensor 63d can enter the internal space 145. Thereby, the gate sensor 63d is passed between the first arm portion 131 and the second arm portion 132 by being biased toward the first arm portion 131 so that a part of the gate sensor 63d enters the internal space 145. Work can be done easily.

  A first arm portion 131 that can accommodate the wiring 91 is provided in a space facing the second arm portion 132 having the claw portion 151 and extending rearward of the first side surface frame portion 121a. Thereby, when it sees as the whole sensor holder 92, the protrusion produced by providing the 1st arm part 131 is small. That is, the protruding dimension of the first arm portion 131 in the direction along the board surface of the game board 33 with respect to the gate sensor 63d is substantially the same as the protruding dimension of the first side surface frame portion 121a. That is, in the plane along the board surface of the game board 33, the first arm part 131 does not protrude from the first side frame part 121a. The rear end of the first arm portion 131 is the same as the rear end surface of the claw portion 151 of the second arm portion 132. Thereby, the sensor holder 92 is compact as a whole. Therefore, an increase in the size of the sensor holder 92 that can be caused by providing the first arm portion 131 can be suppressed.

Incidentally, each of the following configurations may be applied alone to the configuration of the above embodiment, or may be applied to the configuration of the above embodiment in a predetermined combination. Moreover, you may apply the following each structure to embodiment which is not illustrated as an application object of the structure.

  (1) In the above embodiment, the first arm portion 131 is formed so as to be able to hold the wiring 91 by itself, but is not limited thereto, and for example, the wiring 91 can be held by the first arm portion 301 and the gate sensor 63d. It may come to become. This modification will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15A is an explanatory diagram showing the first arm portion 301 and its periphery.

  The first arm portion 301 is formed with a base wall 302 that is opposed to the gate sensor 63d and spaced from the side surface, and a pair of base walls 302 that are formed from the base wall 302 toward the gate sensor 63d and that are opposed to each other in the vertical direction. Opposing wall portions 303 and 304 are provided. The opposing walls 303 and 304 and one side surface of the gate sensor 63d are abutted to form an internal space 305. As a result, the first arm portion 301 can be downsized while ensuring the holding function of the wiring 91.

  That is, when the first arm part 301 is configured to sandwich the gate sensor 63d, the vertical dimension of the first arm part 301 is larger than the length dimension of the gate sensor 63d. On the other hand, in the configuration in which the internal space 145 is formed by being abutted, the length dimension in the vertical direction of the first arm portion 301 can be set to be the same as the length dimension of the corresponding gate sensor 63d. The first arm portion 301 can be downsized.

  However, in the case of such a configuration, the gate sensor 63d is not sandwiched between the first arm portions 301, and the internal space 305 and the corresponding insertion port become smaller, so that the gate sensor 63d can be held and the wiring 91 can be easily inserted. If attention is paid to the above, the above embodiment is superior.

  (2) In the above embodiment, the first arm 131 is configured such that the internal space 145 is formed on the gate sensor 63d side. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, the internal space 145 is formed so as to be gradually narrowed toward both ends, but is not limited thereto, and may be set to have the same width dimension, for example. However, if attention is paid to the ease of insertion of the wiring 91 and the stability of the shape of the wiring 91, a configuration that gradually becomes narrower is better.

  (5) You may form the 1st arm part 131 so that the internal space 145 becomes large as it goes ahead. Thereby, since it becomes difficult for the wiring 91 to come off, the holding force of the wiring 91 by the first arm portion 131 can be increased. However, if attention is paid to the ease of releasing the holding of the wiring 91 by the first arm portion 131, the above embodiment is superior.

  (6) In the above embodiment, the first arm portion 131 is formed so as to correspond to one side surface of the gate sensor 63d. However, the first arm portion 131 is not limited thereto, and may be formed on the upper surface side or the lower surface side, for example. .

  (7) In the above embodiment, the wiring 91 is held by inserting the wiring 91 into the internal space 145 through the insertion port 146. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the wiring is connected to the first arm unit 131. A configuration may be adopted in which a hook portion capable of hooking 91 is provided, and the wiring 91 is held by hooking the wiring 91 on the hook portion.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the two bending parts 171 are formed and one bending part 171 is accommodated and the other bending part 171 is exposed, it can accommodate the other bending part 171. Alternatively, the first arm portion 131 may be formed. Thereby, the fall of workability | operativity which may arise when something is caught by the bending part 171 can be suppressed.

  (10) In the above embodiment, the through gate 39 is configured to hold the wiring 91 of the gate sensor 63d of the through gate 39. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a winning opening for detecting a winning of the general winning opening 36 A configuration for holding the wiring of the sensor 63a may be provided. In short, the present invention can be applied to other gaming machines that require wiring to pass through the through holes.

  (11) In the above embodiment, the internal space 145 is disposed on the side opposite to the symbol display device 43. However, the inner space 145 is not limited to this. For example, the side closer to the connection destination of the wiring 91 in the sensor holder 92. May be arranged. As a result, the temporarily held wiring 91 is arranged on the connection destination side, so that the connection destination of the wiring 91 can be easily grasped. Therefore, the connection work of the wiring 91 can be suitably performed.

  (12) In the above embodiment, the wiring 91 is held so as to extend rearward by inserting the bent portion 171 into the internal space 145. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the wiring 91 intersects the front-rear direction of the game board 33. It is good also as a structure hold | maintained so that it may extend toward a direction. In this case, it is preferable to provide guide means for defining the direction in which the wiring 91 extends so that the wiring 91 is closer to the connection destination. Accordingly, since the connection destination of the wiring 91 can be easily grasped, when the temporary holding of the wiring 91 is released and the wiring 91 is connected, the connecting work can be suitably performed. However, the inclination of the extending direction of the wiring 91 with respect to the front-rear direction of the game board 33 is within a specific range in which the wiring 91 can easily pass through the through-hole 81 so that the wiring 91 can easily pass through the through-hole 81. It should be set.
