Accordingly, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out. Further, for example, a symbol display unit made up of a liquid crystal display device or the like is installed at the center of the game area, and a plurality of columns of symbols are variably displayed by the symbol display unit. In this case, the symbol variation display by the symbol display unit is started with the winning of the predetermined prize opening (start winning award) as a trigger, and then the symbol variation display is stopped through the variation display by the predetermined variation pattern. If the symbols are the same when the stop symbol of each symbol row is determined, the game proceeds to a special gaming state (big hit state) and a large amount of game balls are paid out. The probability of transitioning to the special gaming state is set with a relatively low probability, and the normal state is left when not transitioning to the special gaming state.

  The pachinko machine has a main board that controls the main control of the game on the back side of the main body of the gaming machine. With the main board, the game balls are paid out in accordance with winnings and the game state at each time is in a normal state. Or, it is controlled whether to be in a special gaming state. In the pachinko machine, in addition to the main board, a payout control board for controlling the payout of game balls, a display control board for controlling the fluctuation display of the symbols in the symbol display unit, and an audio device or a lamp device installed in the gaming machine. An audio lamp control board for performing effects is installed.

In this case, there is an advantage that the control board is attached in a stable state.

  Also, in recent gaming machines, various efforts have been made to diversify the game effects in order to improve interests, etc., and on the back side of the gaming machine main body there are various accessories and board devices such as relay boards. Many are arranged. Therefore, the base member is provided so as to be separated from the gaming machine main body, and it is considered to efficiently arrange various objects and board devices using a gap region formed between the base member and the gaming machine main body. Has been. On the other hand, if a gap area is formed between the pedestal member and the gaming machine main body, there is a possibility that fraudulent acts such as inserting a hand or a tool from the outside into the gap area and causing the pachinko machine to malfunction will be performed. Therefore, in order to prevent a hand, a tool, or the like from being inserted into the gap region, a technique for providing a shielding portion on the base member has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Further, when the pedestal member is provided so that a gap area is formed between the pedestal member and the gaming machine main body, there is a concern that the gap area may be misused for improper purposes. Specifically, there is a concern that an illegal substrate or the like can be attached to the gap region. Such a concern still remains as a configuration in which the shielding member is provided on the base member. Therefore, the countermeasure against the fraud is desired.

The main control mounting base 711 (main control device unit 700) is fastened to the game board 16 by means of the nail latch 732 attached to the nai latch mounting portion 731.

  A large number of grid-like ribs 742 are integrally formed with the main control mounting base 711 in the back side of the main control mounting base 711, more specifically, in a region surrounded by the board mounting part 712 and the leg part 721. The large number of ribs 742 prevent each space-like region from becoming relatively large. That is, it can be said that the gap region A1 (see FIG. 6) is partitioned by the ribs 742 or subdivided. Further, by integrally forming a large number of ribs 742, it is possible to ensure the rigidity of the horizontally long substrate mounting portion 712 while obtaining a desired effect such as subdivision of the gap region A1. In this case, since the main control mounting base 711 is formed of a transparent material, even if a part of the rib 742 is cut off, the discovery is easy.

  As shown in FIG. 9A, a rectangular recess 751 is formed on the back side of the main control mounting base 711. The concave portion 751 is provided in consideration of the mounting partner side (game board 16 side) of the unit 700, so that the concave portion 751 can avoid interference with a protruding portion or member on the back of the game board 16. It has become. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, interference with the collective board unit 68 formed so as to cover the electric combination provided on the game board 16 and the relay board and connector provided on the back side thereof. Is avoided by the recess 751. Similarly, the ribs 742 formed at positions corresponding to the recesses 751 are also formed at a height that avoids interference with the collective plate unit 68. The concave portions 751 and the ribs 742 are formed so as to be close to the collective plate unit 68 to the extent that the unauthorized substrate cannot be disposed in the gap region A1. Specifically, it is formed so that the interval between the collective plate unit 68 is about 5 mm and the interval between the relay board and the connector is about 10 mm. By increasing the distance between the relay board and the connector as compared with the distance between the collective plate unit 68, it becomes possible to relatively easily handle the electric wiring connected to the connector. Furthermore, it can be said that the back side of the main control mounting base 711 is formed so as to project both the left and right sides toward the collective plate unit 68 while avoiding interference with the relay board and the connector. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to avoid placing an illegal board or the like in a portion that becomes a blind spot by the relay board or the like when the main body frame 12 is released from the outer frame 11 (that is, a region closer to the opening / closing center than the relay board). It is possible to suppress fraud appropriately. Incidentally, the rib 742 is formed so as to avoid the insertion portion of the connector. In addition, although not shown, on the back side of the main control mounting base 711, when the main control apparatus 701 is mounted on the main control mounting base 711, interference with the locking tool on the main control apparatus 701 side is avoided. And the notch part for enabling rotation operation of the said locking tool is formed.

  Further, in a state where the main controller 701 is mounted on the board mounting portion 712 of the main control mounting base 711, on the back side of the board mounting portion 712, a rotation operation of a locking tool provided on the board box 702 of the main control device 701 is performed. Is done. Therefore, the main controller 701 cannot be removed by the locking action of the locking tool. Further, in a state where the main control device 701 is mounted on the board mounting portion 712, the coupling piece 706 of the main control device 701 and the coupled piece 725 on the main control mounting base 711 side are aligned so as to overlap each other. In this case, a sealing process is performed between the main control device 701 and the main control mounting base 711 by screwing a sealing screw into one of the four sets of the connecting piece 706 and the connected piece 725.

  When the main controller unit 700 is mounted on the game board 16, after the main controller 701 and the main control mount 711 are integrated as described above, the bearing portion 724 of the main control mount 711 is attached to the game board 16 side. The support 700 is pivotally supported, and the unit 700 is rotated around the support shaft 74 so that the tip of the leg 721 of the main control mounting base 711 is connected to the back side of the game board 16 (more specifically, the assembly The plate unit 68). Then, the main controller unit 700 is fixed to the game board 16 by the nai latch 732. The mounted state is the state shown in FIG. That is, the main controller 701 is attached to the game board 16 so that the back surface of the game board 16 and the electronic component mounting surface of the main board are substantially parallel.

  Next, the structure of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 in the sound lamp control device unit 800 will be described with reference to FIG.

  Prior to the description of the audio lamp control mounting base 811, the outline of the audio lamp control device 801 will be described. The audio lamp control device 801 includes a CPU that controls the main control, a ROM that stores driving data of the speaker 23a and lamps, and the progress of the game. A sound lamp control board including a RAM for storing necessary data according to the above, a port for communicating with various devices, a clock pulse generation circuit used for time counting and synchronization, etc. The lamp control substrate is configured to be accommodated in a substrate box as an encapsulating means made of a transparent resin material or the like. The board box includes a box base (front case body) having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and a box cover (back case body) that covers an opening of the box base. However, unlike the main control device 701, the sound lamp control device 801 does not include sealing means and is not sealed.

  The sound lamp control mount 811 is made of synthetic resin such as polycarbonate resin, and is colorless and transparent as a whole. However, the audio lamp control mounting base 811 may be opaque or translucent by being colored green or blue. The sound lamp control mounting base 811 is provided with a board mounting portion 812 having a flat plate shape. The board mounting portion 812 corresponds to a voice lamp control device mounting portion for mounting the voice lamp control device 801, and is formed in a horizontally-oriented substantially rectangular shape in accordance with the shape of the board box of the voice lamp control device 801. In the board mounting portion 812, the front side of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 (the back side of the pachinko machine in the state of being installed in the pachinko machine 10) is a board mounting surface 812a.

  The substrate mounting portion 812 is provided with a leg portion 821 extending on the opposite side to the substrate mounting surface 812a (the back side of the display control mounting base 811). The leg portion 821 includes left and right side portions 821a and 821b and a lower side portion 821c and an upper side portion 821d provided between the side sides 821a and 821b. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the leg portion 821 is provided such that each side portion 821 a to 821 d is formed in a wall shape and the surface of the sound lamp control device 801 is close to the protective cover 82. Furthermore, the surface of the sound lamp control device 801 and the surface of the main control device 701 are provided in substantially the same position in the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10. In other words, the leg portion 821 is also a shielding portion for preventing entry into the back portion of the board mounting portion 812. That is, in the state where the audio lamp control mounting base 811 is attached to the back side of the game board 16, a gap area A2 is formed behind the board mounting portion 812 as shown in FIG. The inside and outside of the area A2 are partitioned, and intrusion of unauthorized tools or the like into the gap area A2 is prevented. In addition, attachment of an unauthorized substrate or the like in the gap area A2 of the substrate mounting portion 812 can be prevented.

  In the leg portion 821, one side portion 821 b is provided with a pair of upper and lower bearing portions 824, and these bearing portions 824 support the mounting partner side (game board 16 side) of the audio lamp control mounting base 811. By being pivotally supported by the shaft portion 66, the sound lamp control mounting base 811 (the sound lamp control device unit 800) is cantilevered with respect to the game board 16 so as to be rotatable.

  On the other side portion 821a, there are two upper and lower nai latch mounting portions 831 for mounting nai latches 832 (see FIG. 5) as fasteners. The sound lamp control mounting base 811 (sound lamp control device unit 800) is fastened to the game board 16 by a nail latch 832 attached to the nail latch mounting portion 831.

  A large number of lattice-like ribs 842 are integrally formed with the sound lamp control mounting base 811 on the back side of the sound lamp control mounting base 811, more specifically, in a region surrounded by the board mounting portion 812 and the leg portion 821. Due to the large number of ribs 842, each spatial region is not relatively large. That is, it can be said that the gap region A2 (see FIG. 6) is partitioned or subdivided by the ribs 842. Further, by integrally molding a large number of ribs 842, it is possible to secure the rigidity of the horizontally long substrate mounting portion 812 while obtaining a desired effect such as subdivision of the gap region A2. In this case, since the sound lamp control mounting base 811 is formed of a transparent material, even if a part of the rib 842 is cut off, the discovery is easy.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, a rectangular recess 851 is formed on the back side of the sound lamp control mount 811. The concave portion 851 is provided in consideration of the mounting partner side (game board 16 side) of the unit 800, so that the concave portion 851 can avoid interference with a protruding portion or member on the back of the game board 16. It has become. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, interference with the display control device 272 provided in the game board 16 is avoided by the recess 851. Similarly, the rib 842 formed at a position corresponding to the recess 851 is also formed at a height that avoids interference with the display control device 272. The recess 851 and the rib 842 are formed so as to be close to the display control device 272 to the extent that the unauthorized substrate cannot be disposed in the gap area A2. Furthermore, it can be said that the back side of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 is formed so as to protrude from the left and right sides toward the game board 16 while avoiding interference with the display control device 272. By adopting such a configuration, an illegal substrate or the like is disposed in a portion that becomes a blind spot by the display control device 272 when the main body frame 12 is released from the outer frame 11 (that is, a region closer to the opening / closing center than the display control device 272). It becomes possible to avoid this, and it is possible to suppress fraud appropriately.

  When the sound lamp control device unit 800 is mounted on the game board 16, the sound lamp control device 801 and the sound lamp control mounting base 811 are integrated, and then the bearing portion 824 of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 is connected to the game board 16 side. The support unit 66 is pivotally supported, and the unit 800 is rotated around the support shaft 66, and the tip of the leg portion 821 of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 is placed on the back side of the game board 16 (more details). Is brought into contact with the frame cover 61). Then, the sound lamp control device unit 800 is fixed to the game board 16 by the ny latch 832. The mounted state is the state shown in FIG. That is, the sound lamp control device 801 is attached to the game board 16 so that the back surface of the game board 16 and the electronic component mounting surface of the sound lamp control board are substantially parallel.

The main control device 701 is a main controller for performing main control (a general calculation process related to profits) in the pachinko machine 10, and the CPU 501 which is the operation subject of the main controller 701 is a game ball winning determination process, a predetermined start winning prize. A jackpot lottery process using as a trigger, a release process of the variable prize winning device 32 (so-called a big prize attacker) at the time of the jackpot winning, a payout command process for outputting a game ball payout command, and the like are appropriately executed. That is, it can be said that the main control device 701 is a control device that performs overall management of games.

  The RAM 503 is configured to retain (backup) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply device 313 even after the pachinko machine 10 is powered off. The RAM 503 temporarily stores various data and the like. In addition to the memory and area for this purpose, a backup area 503a is provided.

  The backup area 503a stores values such as a stack pointer, each register, and I / O when the power is shut down (including when a power failure occurs, the same applies hereinafter) when the power is shut down due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The area of the pachinko machine 10 can be restored to the state before the power cut-off based on the information in the backup area 503a when the power is turned on (including power-on due to power failure cancellation). Yes. Writing to the backup area 503a is executed when the power is shut off by the NMI interrupt process, and restoration of each value written to the backup area 503a is executed in the main process when the power is turned on. Note that the power failure signal SG1 from the power failure monitoring circuit 542 is input to the NMI terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the CPU 501 when the power is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The NMI interrupt process as a process is immediately executed.

  An input / output port 505 is connected to the CPU 501 of the main control device 701 via a bus line 504 including an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port 505 is connected to a RAM erasing switch circuit 543, a payout control device 311, a display control device 272, and other switches not shown.

  The payout control device 311 performs payout control of prize balls and rental balls by a payout motor built in the payout device 86. The CPU 511 that is an arithmetic unit includes a ROM 512 that stores a control program executed by the CPU 511, fixed value data, and the like, and a RAM 513 that is used as a work memory or the like.

  Similar to the RAM 503 of the main controller 701, the RAM 513 of the payout controller 311 is configured to hold (backup) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply 313 even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut off. The RAM 513 is provided with a backup area 513a in addition to a memory and an area for temporarily storing various data.

  The backup area 513a is an area for storing the stack pointer, registers, I / O, and other values when the power is cut off when the power is cut off due to a power failure or the like. Based on the information in the backup area 513a, the state of the pachinko machine 10 can be restored to the state before the power is shut off. Writing to the backup area 513a is executed when the power is shut off by the NMI interrupt processing, and restoration of each value written to the backup area 513a is executed in the main processing when the power is turned on. As with the CPU 501 of the main controller 701, the power failure signal SG1 is input from the power failure monitoring circuit 542 to the NMI terminal of the CPU 511 when the power is interrupted due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The NMI interrupt process is immediately executed.

  An input / output port 515 is connected to the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 via a bus line 514 including an address bus and a data bus. A RAM erase switch circuit 543, a main controller 701, a launch controller 312 and a payout device 86 are connected to the input / output port 515, respectively.

  The launch control device 312 permits or prohibits the launch of the game ball by the game ball launch device 20, and the game ball launch device 20 is permitted to drive when a predetermined condition is met. Specifically, it is detected that a firing permission signal is output from the payout control device 311, that the player is touching the game ball launching handle 19 by a sensor signal, and a launch for stopping the launch. On the condition that the stop switch is not operated, the game ball launching device 20 is driven, and the game ball is launched with the strength corresponding to the operation amount of the game ball launching handle 19.

  The display control device 272 controls the variation display of the first symbol (special symbol) on the first symbol display device 41 and the variation display of the second symbol (ordinary symbol) on the second symbol display device 42. The display control device 272 includes a CPU 521, a ROM (program ROM) 522, a work RAM 523, a video RAM 524, a character ROM 525, an image controller 526, an input port 527, two output ports 528 and 529, and a bus line. 530 and 531. The input side of the input port 527 is connected to the output side of the main controller 701, and the output side of the input port 527 is connected to the CPU 521, ROM 522, work RAM 523, image controller 526, and output port via the bus line 530. 528 is connected. A second symbol display device 42 (display unit 45) and an audio lamp control device 801 are connected to the output side of the output port 528. Further, an output port 529 is connected to the image controller 526 via a bus line 531, and the first symbol display device 41 is connected to the output side of the output port 529.

  The CPU 521 of the display control device 272 controls the display of the first symbol display device 41 and the second symbol display device 42 based on the symbol display command transmitted from the main control device 701. The ROM 522 is a memory for storing various control programs executed by the CPU 521 and fixed value data, and the work RAM 523 is for temporarily storing work data and flags used when the CPU 521 executes various programs. Memory.

  The video RAM 524 is a memory for storing display data displayed on the first symbol display device 41, and the display content of the first symbol display device 41 is changed by rewriting the contents of the video RAM 524. The character ROM 525 is a memory for storing character data such as symbols displayed on the first symbol display device 41. The image controller 526 adjusts the timings of the CPU 521, the video RAM 524, and the output port 529 to intervene in reading and writing data, and also reads display data stored in the video RAM 524 from the character ROM 525 at a predetermined timing. It is displayed on the symbol display device 41.

  The power supply device 313 includes a power supply unit 541 for supplying power to each part of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 for monitoring power interruption due to a power failure, and a RAM erase switch circuit connected to a RAM erase switch (not shown). 543. The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power to the main control device 701, the payout control device 311 and the like through a power supply path (not shown). As its outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in an AC 24 volt power supply supplied from the outside, and generates a + 12V power supply for driving various switches and motors, a + 5V power supply for logic, a backup power supply for RAM backup, and the like. Then, these + 12V power supply, + 5V power supply and backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 701, the payout control device 311 and the like. Note that operation power (+12 V power, +5 V power, etc.) is supplied to the launch control device 312 via the payout control device 311.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit for outputting a power failure signal SG1 to each NMI terminal of the CPU 501 of the main control device 701 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 541, and determines that a power failure (power shutdown) occurs when this voltage is less than 22 volts. The power failure signal SG1 is output to the main controller 701 and the payout controller 311. Based on the output of the power failure signal SG1, the main controller 701 and the payout controller 311 recognize the occurrence of the power failure and execute the NMI interrupt process. The power supply unit 541 outputs the output of 5 volts, which is the drive voltage of the control system, to a normal value for a time sufficient to execute the NMI interrupt processing even after the DC stable voltage of 24 volts becomes less than 22 volts. Configured to maintain. Therefore, the main control device 701 and the payout control device 311 can normally execute and complete the NMI interrupt processing.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 receives a switch signal of a RAM erase switch (not shown), and outputs a RAM erase signal SG2 for clearing backup data of the main control device 701 and the payout control device 311 according to the state of the switch. It is. When the RAM erase switch is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal SG2 to the main controller 701 and the payout controller 311. Thus, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch pressed, the data in the backup areas 503a and 513a is cleared in the main controller 701 and the payout controller 311.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  The main controller 701 is mounted on the board mounting surface 712a of the main control mount 711, and the main control mount 711 is mounted on the back side of the game board 16 in this state, and the board mounting surface of the sound lamp control mount 811 An audio lamp control device 801 is attached to 812a, and an audio lamp control mounting base 811 is attached to the back side of the game board 16 in this state. In addition, leg portions 721 and 821 are provided on the back side of the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811. When the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811 are attached to the game board 16, the board mounting portions 712 and 812 and the game are played. Predetermined gap areas A1 and A2 are formed between the board 16 and the board 16. By adopting such a configuration, it becomes possible to install various prizes such as the variable prize device 32 and the electric bonuses, board devices such as relay boards, etc. in the gap areas A1 and A2, and arrangement of various game parts. It is possible to increase the degree of freedom in design. However, there are concerns that the gap regions A1 and A2 may be abused to install unauthorized parts.

  The concern is that the control devices 701 and 801 are in contact with the back surface of the game board 16 or the control devices 701 and 801 are in contact with game parts provided on the back side of the game board 16. , 801 can be suitably eliminated. However, in such a configuration, it is necessary to review the arrangement positions of the control devices 701 and 801 for each model, and there is a new concern that the design load and the manufacturing load may increase.

  On the other hand, in this configuration, legs 721 and 821 are formed so that the control devices 701 and 801 mounted on the control mounting bases 711 and 811 are close to the protective cover 82, and the game boards of the control mounting bases 711 and 811 are formed. On the side facing 16, ribs 742 and 842 for subdividing the gap areas A 1 and A 2 were provided. Thereby, it becomes possible to arrange | position each control mounting base 711,811 to the back of the pachinko machine 10 as much as possible, and it becomes possible to ensure sufficient clearance area | region A1, A2. Therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the opportunity to review the arrangement positions of the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811, and it is possible to suitably eliminate the above-mentioned concerns. Further, by disposing the control devices 701 and 801 at the back of the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to suppress the control devices 701 and 801 from being affected by noise caused by the movement of the game ball or the like. Further, unlike the existing configuration that merely shields the openings of the gap areas A1 and A2, the gap areas A1 and A2 themselves can be reduced by the ribs 742 and 842, and the gap areas A1 and A2 are used. Thus, fraudulent acts such as installing illegal substrates can be suppressed. This is because in the above-described existing configuration, after each control mounting base is released from the game board 16, an unauthorized board or the like may be installed in the gap area. As a result of the above, it is possible to realize a configuration in which a control device or the like can be installed efficiently, and to take sufficient measures against fraud in such a configuration. More specifically, the protective cover 82 is formed of a transparent resin material, and the display control device 801 is formed so as to be close to the protective cover 82, so that the display control device 801 is covered with the protective cover 82. Thus, it is possible to suppress the visibility of the display control device 801 from being lowered.

  A plurality of ribs 742 and 842 are provided in a lattice pattern on the back side of each control mounting base 711 and 811. With this configuration, the gap regions A1 and A2 can be subdivided, and each of the regions can be partitioned into relatively small ones. Therefore, it becomes difficult to secure an area for installing an unauthorized board between the game board 16 and the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811, and it is possible to suppress an illegal act. Further, by providing the ribs 742 and 842, it is possible to ensure the rigidity of the horizontally long board mounting portions 712 and 812.

  The back side of the game board 16 is provided with an accessory such as a frame cover 61, a display control device 272, and a collective board unit 68, and a control device. The control mounting bases 711 and 811 are provided with recesses 751 and 851, By providing the ribs 742 and 842 in a shape corresponding to the recesses 751 and 851, interference between the control mounting bases 711 and 811 and these gaming parts can be avoided. In addition, by providing the ribs 742 and 842 and the recesses 751 and 851 so as to be close to the game parts in this way, an area for installing the unauthorized board is secured between the game board 16 and the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811. It becomes difficult to do so, and it becomes possible to deter fraud.

  By providing the leg portions 721 and 821 so as to surround the gap regions A1 and A2, it is possible to prevent the leg portions 721 and 821 from entering the gap regions A1 and A2 from the outside. This is because the leg portions 721 and 821 can partition the inside and outside of the gap regions A1 and A2. Therefore, it becomes possible to suppress fraud appropriately. Further, the heights of the legs 721 and 821 are adjusted so that the main control device 701 and the sound lamp control device 801 are close to the protective cover 82, and the control devices 701 and 801 do not protrude behind the protective cover 82. By doing so, even if the game ball spills downward from the game ball storage tank 83, it is possible to suitably avoid the game ball from colliding with the control devices 701 and 801 by the protective cover 82. .

  By forming each control mounting portion 711, 811 from a transparent synthetic resin material, an illegal act of setting an illegal substrate or the like in the gap regions A1, A2 and an illegal act of removing a part of the ribs 742, 842 were performed. However, this can be found relatively easily. Therefore, it becomes possible to reduce the chance that the game hall etc. which installs the pachinko machine 10 suffer a disadvantage.

  By integrally forming the ribs 742 and 842 to the control attachment portions 711 and 811, the operation of assembling the ribs 742 and 842 to the control attachment portions 711 and 811 becomes unnecessary, and work efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, the leg portions 721 and 821 are integrally formed with the control attachment portions 711 and 811 so that the leg portions 721 and 821 need to be provided on the game board 16 side (more specifically, the frame cover 61 and the collective board unit 68). Therefore, it is possible to suppress the cost increase of the pachinko machine 10 while improving the versatility of the control attachment portions 711 and 811. For example, when the control mounting portions 711 and 811 and the ribs 742 and 842 are integrally formed and the game parts on the game board 16 side and the leg portions 721 and 821 are integrally formed, a forming die for forming each member is used. This is because the size of the pachinko machine 10 is increased.

  A gap area A <b> 1 formed on the back side of the main controller 701 is partitioned by ribs 742. The main control device 701 is a control device that manages the presence / absence of the transition to the special gaming state and the payout of the game ball. Therefore, the main control device 701 is likely to be fraudulent due to unauthorized parts and the like, and from the unauthorized board to the main control device 701. There is a high possibility that an unauthorized act of installing an unauthorized substrate on the back side of the main control mounting base 711 is performed so that the electrical wiring of the circuit board becomes shorter. Therefore, by adopting a configuration in which the gap area A1 is partitioned by the ribs 742, it is possible to prevent an illegal act from being performed on the main control device 701, and the game hall where the pachinko machine 10 is installed suffers disadvantages. This can be avoided.

  The main control mounting base 711 is configured to be detachable from the main control device 701 in the front-rear direction, and is attached to a position where a part of the main control device 701 overlaps the protective cover 82 in the front-rear direction. In such a case, in order to remove the main controller 701 from the main control mount 711, it is necessary to move the protective cover 82 so that the entire main controller 701 is exposed. Therefore, it becomes possible to make it difficult to perform an illegal act of exchanging the main control device 701 with an illegal base, and it is possible to take a sufficient countermeasure against the illegal operation.

  Even if the plurality of control devices are installed on the back side of the game board 16 by providing ribs 842 on the back side of the sound lamp control mount 811 in addition to the back side of the main control mount 711, Sufficient fraud countermeasures can be taken while increasing the degree of design freedom regarding the arrangement of game parts. Further, an illegal act of providing an unauthorized board on the back side of the sound lamp control mounting base 811 and electrically connecting it to the main controller 701 without installing an unauthorized board on the back side of the main control mounting base 711 is also conceivable. In such a case, since the sound lamp control device 801 is covered by the protective cover 82, there is a concern that discovery of an unauthorized board or its electrical wiring may be delayed, and the upper portion of the main control device 701 is also covered by the protective cover 82. Concerning the configuration, there is a concern that discovery may be delayed further. Therefore, by providing the rib 842 also on the back side of the sound lamp control mount 811, a sufficient countermeasure against fraud can be taken.

  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.

  (A) In the above-described embodiment, the gap regions A1 and A2 are partitioned using the plurality of lattice-shaped ribs 742 and 842. However, the configuration shown in FIG. In FIG. 12, the modification about the main-control mounting base 711 is shown. In FIG. 12A, a plurality of bosses 761 having a columnar shape as dot members are provided in place of a large number of lattice-shaped ribs 742. Also in this configuration, a member that blocks the gap region A1 can be provided as appropriate. As a result, it is possible to realize a configuration suitable for suppressing the installation of an unauthorized substrate. In addition, it is possible to expect an effect that the die-cutting operation to take out from the die after the completion of molding becomes easier as compared with the configuration in which the rib is provided. In addition, as a pillar member, you may provide the pillar member which makes polygonal shape, cross-sectional cross shape, cross-sectional T-shape, crank shape, cross-sectional donut shape, etc. Even in such a configuration, a member that blocks the space behind the main control mount 711 can be provided as appropriate. For example, when the cylindrical bosses 761 are provided in a dotted manner, the outer diameter dimension is preferably large. This is because if the outer diameter is increased, it is difficult to insert unauthorized tools or the like in a straight line (especially effective when the bosses 761 are arranged in a staggered pattern). In order to increase the outer diameter, it is desirable that the hollow shape has a donut cross section.

  In FIG. 12B, it is the same that a large number of ribs 742 are provided in a lattice shape, but cylindrical columnar bosses 761 are provided between the partitioned regions. With such a configuration, the gap region A1 can be appropriately blocked while being partitioned, so that a configuration suitable for suppressing the installation of an unauthorized substrate or the like can be realized. Further, since the boss 761 is not supported in the periphery, there is a concern that the boss 761 may bend due to an external force. However, by making the boss 761 dotted in a region surrounded by the rib 742, the amount of deflection can be regulated. .

  In FIG. 12C, the spacer member 285 is provided with a large number of ribs 742, but the installation area of the ribs 742 is limited to a part. That is, a subdivided region that subdivides the gap region A1 and a non-subdivided region that does not subdivide the gap region A1 are provided. Even in such a configuration, if the gap area A1 is partitioned to a size that prevents the unauthorized substrate from being installed, a configuration suitable for suppressing the installation of the unauthorized substrate or the like can be realized. Needless to say, the display control mount 811 may have the same configuration.

  (B) In the above-described embodiment, a large number of grid-like ribs 742 and 842 are provided on the back side of the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811, and each region (segmented region) partitioned by the ribs 742 and 842 is provided. Is configured to extend in the front-rear direction, but this is changed. The region (the subdivided region) may extend in the left-right direction or the up-down direction. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the gap areas A1 and A2 are subdivided in the front-rear direction of the pachinko machine 10, but may be subdivided in the left-right direction or the vertical direction.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the control mounting bases 711 and 811 and the ribs 742 and 842 are integrally formed, but a separate structure may be used. However, in the case of such a configuration, a work process for assembling ribs 742 and 842 as partition members to the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811 is necessary. In addition, when setting it as a separate structure, the ribs 742 and 842 are fixed to each control mounting base 711,811 so that it cannot be removed. Or it is desirable from a viewpoint of fraud prevention to fix so that the trace may remain when it is removed. Examples of methods for realizing these fixing methods include fixing with a one-way screw, fixing with a break screw, and applying a seal seal to the fixing portion, ultrasonic welding, or the like.

  (D) In the above embodiment, the main control device unit 700 and the sound lamp control device unit 800 are configured separately, but the main control device 701 and the sound lamp control device 801 are mounted on one pedestal member. Needless to say. Even in such a configuration, if the pedestal member is configured to be close to the protective cover, and the gap region formed between the pedestal member and the game board is defined by the ribs, the same effects as the above embodiment can be obtained. Is clear.

  (E) In the above embodiment, the ribs 742 and 842 are provided on the back side of the main control mounting base 711 and the sound lamp control mounting base 811, but between the main control mounting base 711 and the game board 16. If the gap region is not formed, that is, if the main control mounting base 711 is in contact with the game board 16, a member for subdividing the gap area may be provided only on the back side of the sound lamp control mounting base 811.

  (F) In the above embodiment, the leg portions 721 and 821 are formed on the respective control mounting bases 711 and 811 side, but this is changed and provided on the game board 16 or game parts attached to the game board 16.
