Since the slot machine is arranged in the extending direction, in the case of the conventional slot machine, there is a possibility that the wire 75 may be easily detached from the start lever 23 only by being pulled in the extending direction (right direction) of the ribs 60, 60. is there. However, in the slot machine X of this configuration, since the binding tool 77 is provided between the connector 43 of the start lever 23 and the ribs 60, 60, when the wire 75 is pulled, a force is applied to the connector 43. The binding tool 77 can be hooked on the ribs 60, 60 before it is added, and the wire 75 can be prevented from coming off the connector 43.

  In addition, since the binding tool 77 is larger than the distance between the pair of ribs 60 and 60 in the state where the wiring 75 is bundled, the binding tool 77 reliably ensures the ribs 60 and 60 when the wiring 75 is pulled. Get caught. Therefore, when the wire 75 is pulled or the like, it is possible to reliably prevent the force from being applied to the connection portion between the switches 20 to 23 and the wire 75 or the like. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the wiring 75 from falling off from the switches 20-23 and applying an excessive force to the connection portion between the wiring 75 and the switches 20-23 so as to prevent the connection from being broken.

  In addition, since the ribs 60 and 60 are provided to pass between the truncated pyramid shaped projecting portion 90 and the truncated cone shaped projecting portion 91 of the cover member 31, the wire 75 is passed between the ribs 60 and 60. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the truncated pyramid shaped projecting portion 90 and the truncated cone shaped projecting portion 91 from interfering with the wiring 75. That is, for example, in the case where the ribs 60 and 60 are not provided, when attaching the cover member 31 to the switch case 30, the wire 75 is sandwiched between the truncated cone shaped protrusion 91 and the boss 70; The wiring 75 may be pinched with the plate 30e, and the wiring 75 may be damaged. However, according to this configuration, the wire 75 is passed between the ribs 60, 60 passing between the truncated pyramidal protrusion 90 and the truncated cone shaped protrusion 91, so the switch case 30 and the cover member 31 Can prevent the wires from being pinched. That is, by providing the ribs 60, 60 through which the wiring 75 passes, in the vicinity of the part where the wiring 75 may be pinched, such as a portion where the switch case 30 and the cover member 31 abut or approach each other. It can prevent being caught. In particular, as in the present configuration, a plurality of projecting portions (a truncated pyramid shaped projecting portion 90, a truncated cone shaped projecting portion 91) projecting toward the other member on one of the cover member 31 or the switch case 30 In the case where the wires 75 are passed between the plurality of protrusions, ribs 60 and 60 are provided between the protrusions, and the wires 75 are passed between the protrusions, thereby providing the switch case 30 and the cover member 31 with each other. The possibility of the wiring being pinched can be greatly reduced.

  Further, in the slot machine X of this configuration, a gap is provided between the rear ends (tips in the projecting direction) of the ribs 60, 60 and the cover member 31, so the wiring 75 is passed between the ribs 60, 60. When attaching the cover member 31 to the switch case 30 after that, even if the wires 75 run over the rear ends of the ribs 60, 60, the wires are pinched between the ribs 60, 60 and the cover member 31. You can prevent.

  The ribs 60, 60 are provided with projecting pieces that project from the rear end of one rib 60 toward the other rib 60 (groove side), and between the ribs 60, 60 by this projecting pieces It may be suppressed that the wire 75 passed through the through-hole deviates from between the ribs 60, 60. Further, the projecting piece may be, for example, plate-like or rod-like, or may be nail-like or the like in which the wiring is caught. Moreover, the said protrusion piece may be provided in both ribs 60, and may be provided only in any one rib 60. FIG.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the ribs 60, 60 extend straight in the left-right direction (see FIG. 3), but for example, the right ends (left portions in FIG. 3) of the ribs 60, 60 are from the left end. It may also be located above or below and extend obliquely with respect to the left and right direction. In other words, the left ends of the ribs 60, 60 are disposed in the direction in which the wiring 75 extends from the connector 43 of the start lever 23 (rightward of the connector 43), and the right sides of the left ends of the ribs 60, 60 The right ends of the ribs 60 may be disposed on the upper side or the lower side.

  Also, the ribs 60, 60 may not extend substantially parallel to each other. For example, as compared with the left ends of the ribs 60, 60, the distance between the ribs 60, 60 may be larger at the right ends of the ribs 60, 60. That is, the ribs 60, 60 may be arranged in a V shape in rear view, or the like. In other words, in the ribs 60 and 60, the spacing at the end (one end) on the side where the binding tool 77 is disposed is smaller than that of the binding tool 77 in the state where the wires 75 are bundled. The spacing at the ends may be greater than the spacing at the one end. Also in such a configuration, the binding tool 77 can be hooked on the one end of the ribs 60, 60. In this case, the distance between the ribs 60 at the other end may be larger than that of the binding member 77.

  Also, the ribs 60 may be provided not on the switch case 30 but on the cover member 31. However, in the case where the switch case 30 is provided with the ribs 60, 60, the cover member 31 can be attached to the switch case 30 after passing the wiring 75 between the ribs 60, 60. Since there is no need to simultaneously carry out the work of passing the wiring 75 and the work of attaching the cover member 31, the assembling work of the gaming machine can be facilitated.
