As shown in FIG. 3, the wiring member 110 called a harness is used for electrical connection.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the lower mounting portion 6 is provided with a tray relay board 150 that relays a signal transmitted from a game ball lending device (not shown). In accordance with a signal transmitted from the game ball lending device (not shown) via the tray relay board 150, a frequency display board 160 for driving a balance display section of the prepaid card is provided. The tray relay board 150 and the frequency display board 160 are electrically connected using the wiring member 110.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the wiring member 110 is composed of a connecting wire 111 composed of a plurality of wire bodies (16 in the drawing) and connectors to be connected 112a and 112b provided at both ends thereof. The connecting line 111 is divided into two forks toward the tip side. That is, the connecting wire 111 is provided with a plurality of wire bodies in the width direction, and a connector 112a to be connected is provided at the base end portion of the connecting wire 111 thus arranged. . And the front end side of the connection line 111 arranged in this way is a first branch connection line 113 composed of a plurality of wire bodies (eight in the drawing) and a plurality of wire bodies (eight in the drawing). The second branch connection line 114 is formed in a bifurcated shape, and a connector 112b to be connected is provided at the tip of the first branch connection line 113 and the second branch connection line 114, respectively. Yes.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the wiring member 110 configured in this way is connected to the tray relay board 150 and the connection connectors 151 and 161 attached to the frequency display board 160, respectively. And the frequency display substrate 160 are electrically connected. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of terminals 151a and 161a are arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the connection connectors 151 and 161, respectively. As shown in FIG. 8, the connectors 151b provided at the distal ends of the first branch connection lines 113 or the second branch connection lines 114 are inserted into these terminals 151a, while the terminals 161a are connected to the terminals 151a shown in FIG. As shown to (b), the connector 112a for a connection provided in the base end part of the connecting wire 111 is inserted. As a result, the connector for connection 112b is connected to the connector for connection 151, and the connector for connection 112a is connected to the connector for connection 161. The tray relay board 150 and the frequency display board 160 are as shown in FIG. In addition, the wiring member 110 is electrically connected.

  Thus, the boards such as the effect control board 70 and / or the various gaming members such as the movable effect bodies 44a to 44d are electrically connected to each other using the wiring member 110. It will be.

  However, as shown in FIG. 6, among the connection lines 111 of the wiring member 110, the shortest linear body 111 a closest to the back side of the lower opening / closing door 8 and the longest linear body 111 b farthest from the frequency display board 160 The distance to the relay board 150 is different. Therefore, if the line lengths of the connection lines 111 are all the same, the shortest line body 111a having the shortest distance from the frequency display board 160 to the tray relay board 150 is greatly loosened, and from the frequency display board 160 to the tray relay board 150. The longest linear body 111b having the longest distance becomes a tension state. Therefore, if the shortest linear body 111a is largely loosened, when closing the lower opening / closing door 8, there is a risk of being pinched by the lower opening / closing door 8 and causing a disconnection or the like. If it is in a tension state, it becomes difficult not to connect the connector 112b to be connected to the connector 151 for connection or to connect the connector 112a to be connected to the connector 161 for connection. There is a possibility that the wire body 111b is disconnected.

  Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the wiring member 110 according to the present embodiment is configured as shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 9A, the connection line 111 is disposed so that the length gradually increases from the shortest line 111a in the width direction, and the longest line 111b has the longest length. It is supposed to be. Then, the connection terminal 120 made of a copper wire or the like provided at the base end portion of the connection line 111 arranged in this way is connected to the connector for connection 112a by crimping or pressure contact, whereby the connection line 111 is connected. The connector 112a to be connected is provided at the base end of the connector.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, the first branch connection line 113 is disposed so that the length gradually increases from the shortest line 111a in the width direction, and the first intermediate longest line 111c. The length of has become the longest. Then, the connection terminal 121 made of a copper wire or the like provided at the tip of the first branch connection line 113 arranged in this way is connected to the connector for connection 112b by crimping or pressure contact, so that the first The connector for connection 112b is provided at the tip of the one-branch connection line 113.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, the second branch connection line 114 gradually increases in length in the width direction from the second intermediate longest linear body 111d having a length longer than that of the first intermediate longest linear body 111c. The longest linear body 111b has the longest length. Then, the connection terminal 122 made of a copper wire or the like provided at the tip of the second branch connection line 114 arranged in this way is connected to the connector for connection 112b by crimping or pressure contact, so that the first The connector 112b to be connected is provided at the tip of the two-branch connection line 114.

  In this way, the wiring member 110 shown in FIG. 7 is configured.

  Thus, by gradually increasing the length of the connection line 111 of the wiring member 110 and setting it unevenly, the shortest line body 111a is greatly slackened, or the longest line body 111b is in a tension state. Can be prevented. Therefore, disconnection of the connection line 111 and the like can be prevented, and connection to the connection connectors 151 and 161 can be easily performed.

  Moreover, since the space where the connection line 111 is largely slackened can be eliminated by adopting the configuration as described above, it is possible to prevent the goto device capable of performing goto action from being hidden in the space.

  Furthermore, since the connection line 111 is not greatly loosened by adopting the above configuration, there is an advantage that it is not necessary to attach a cover or the like for preventing looseness.

  On the other hand, even if the wiring member 110 as described above is used to electrically connect connection connectors having different orientations, such as the connection connector 151 and the connection connector 161 shown in FIGS. The connection line 111 is not greatly loosened, and noise generated by the connection line 111 covering the receiving relay board 150 and the frequency display board 160 can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, the length of the connection line 111 of the wiring member 110 is gradually increased. However, the connection line 111 may be unevenly arranged. Only the body may be of irregular length. However, it is preferable to dispose the connection line 111 so as to gradually increase the length. This is because it is easy to use because the shortest and longest linear bodies can be identified instantly.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the example in which the first branch connection line 113 and the second branch connection line 114 cooperate to gradually increase the length of the wire body has been shown, but of course, the first branch connection line 113 and the second branch connection line. The connection line 114 may be independent. That is, for example, the second branch connection line 114 has a length of the second intermediate longest line body 111d of the second branch connection line 114 longer than the length of the first intermediate longest line body 111c of the first branch connection line 113. The length may be shortened and the length may be gradually increased from that state in the width direction.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8A, the example in which the connector 112b to be connected is connected to the connector 151 from the left direction is shown. ), The connector for connection 112b may be connected to the connector for connection 151 from the right direction. That is, in this way, the connector 112b to be connected is connected from the arrangement of the plurality of terminals 151a arranged in the longitudinal direction in the connector 151 for connection and the direction in which the connector 112b to be connected is parallel or substantially parallel. When connecting to the connector 151, there is a high possibility that the connection line 111 is loosened or tensed. By using the wiring member 110 in such a place, the disconnection of the wiring member 110 is more effective. Can be prevented.

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the bifurcated wiring member 110 is shown. However, the invention is not limited thereto, and for example, a wiring member 200 that is not branched in a bifurcated shape as shown in FIG. 10B may be used. . As shown in FIG. 10B, the wiring member 200 is composed of a connecting wire 201 composed of a plurality of wire bodies (eight in the drawing) and connectors to be connected 202a and 202b provided at both ends thereof. The connection line 201 is arranged so that the length gradually increases from the shortest line body 201a positioned in the right direction toward the longest line body 201b positioned in the left direction.
