(Lower panel 22)
As shown in FIG. 6, the lower panel 22 is made of a resin formed by a laminated structure of a transparent plate 22a, a decorative sheet 22b having a decorative pattern on its surface, and a transparent lower panel base plate 22c holding the decorative sheet 22b. It is a thing.

Further, on the rear side of the lower panel 22, as shown in FIG. 6, a lower lamp 82, which is an example of a light emitting element that illuminates the lower panel 22, and a light emitting substrate 82a on which the light emitting element is mounted are provided.
As shown in FIG. 6, the lower lamp 82 is arranged in substantially the entire area of the light emitting substrate 82a in order to preferably illuminate the entire area of the lower panel 22.

Here, the light emitting board 82a is preferably composed of a printed circuit board, particularly a flexible printed circuit board.
As a result, when a hole H is made in the lower panel 22 by a drill or the like, the light emitting board 82a composed of a highly flexible flexible printed circuit board is deformed by being caught in the rotation of the drill, and the lower panel is deformed. It is no longer possible to illuminate 22, and when a clerk at a game store or the like looks around, it is possible to quickly discover that a hole H has been drilled due to fraudulent activity.

Further, the color scheme of the lower panel 22 located on the front side of the connector CN1 and mainly the decorative sheet 22b is composed of a color having a higher brightness than the color scheme of other parts.
For example, the decorative sheet 22b is designed so that the color scheme of the lower panel 22 located on the front side of the connector CN1 is a white color.

As a result, when a hole H is drilled in the lower panel 22 by a drill or the like, the portion of the hole H looks dark, so that the contrast with the surrounding bright color, for example, a white color is high. , When a clerk of a game store looks around, it is possible to quickly discover that a hole H has been drilled due to fraudulent activity. In particular, when a hole H is drilled in the lower panel 22 with a drill or the like, the lower lamp 82 and the light emitting board 82a, which are examples of light emitting elements that illuminate the hole H, are broken, so that the vicinity of the hole H is dark. Therefore, the contrast between the hole H and the other lower panel 22 illuminated by the other unbroken lower lamp 82 is increased, and the hole H can be found quickly.

Next, the arrangement of the lower panel 22, the lower lamp 82 or the light emitting substrate 82a as an example of the light emitting element, and the door relay board 15 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7A, the lower panel 22, the lower lamp 82 or the light emitting board 82a which is an example of the light emitting element, and the portion where the connector CN1 of the door relay board 15 is arranged are on the front surface. When viewed from the side, the lower panel 22, the lower lamp 82 or the light emitting board 82a, and the connector CN1 are arranged so as to overlap each other in this order.

That is, the lower panel 22 is arranged on the frontmost side, then the lower lamp 82 or the light emitting board 82a, and then the connector CN1 of the door relay board 15 so as to overlap in this order.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7B, when a hole H is to be drilled from the front side with a drill or the like, the hole H is first opened in the lower panel 22, and then the hole H is formed in the lower lamp 82 or the light emitting board 82a. It opens and finally reaches the connector CN1 of the door relay board 15.

In order to access the connector CN1, a cheating person sends a fraudulent signal by making a hole H up to the lower lamp 82 or the light emitting board 82a, inserting an instrument through the hole H, and shorting the connector CN1. Then, a so-called short goto is executed, such as inducing an AT game state or adding the number of games in the AT game state.

However, with this configuration, when the hole H is drilled from the lower panel 22 side, the hole H is opened in the lower panel 22 and the hole H is opened in the lower lamp 82 or the light emitting board 82a before reaching the connector CN1. As a result, when the lower lamp 82 or the light emitting board 82a is broken, the illumination to the lower panel 22 changes, and as described above, the fraudulent activity can be quickly detected by the clerk of the amusement shop.

Here, the portion of the connector CN1 that overlaps with the lower panel 22, the lower lamp 82, or the light emitting board 82a may be arranged so that the entire connector CN1 overlaps, or only a part of the connector CN1 overlaps. You may.

Further, here, among the connectors CN1 to CN9 arranged on the door relay board 15 shown in FIG. 4, the connector CN1 is described as an example. Of the connectors CN1 to CN9 shown in FIG. 4, the connectors CN2 to CN9 are connected to a board provided with the medal selector 17, a board provided with the setting change switch 46, a board provided with the bet switch 32, and the like. The cables are connected, and the connector CN1 does not connect the cables connected to these boards individually to the main control board 200, but connects the cables connected to the main control board 200 together. This is because the connector CN1 is more likely to be targeted because it has a greater effect when cheating than the other connectors CN2 to CN9.
However, the present invention is not limited to the connector CN1, and other connectors CN2 to CN9 arranged on the door relay board 15 may be used.
