In order to achieve the above object, in the invention according to claim 1,

A gaming machine characterized by:

上記構成では、主制御基板（主制御基板１３１０）上で演算装置（主制御ＭＰＵ１３１１）の周辺に電子部品が配置されない領域（無実装領域６１０１）と、当該領域の外側にディスクリート部品を配置可能な領域（部品実装領域６１０２）とを形成し、さらに部品実装領域６１０２の外側には、集積回路等のロジックＩＣが配置される領域（第２領域６２００）が形成される。集積回路等のロジックＩＣが配置される領域（第２領域６２００）には、検査用電子部品が配置される領域（検査用部品実装領域６３００）が形成されている。検査用電子部品は、検査機関による検査を受ける遊技機にのみ搭載されるが検査用部品実装領域内にデータバスなどのプリントパターンが設けられているため、ノイズがデータバスに誘起し誤動作を引き起こす可能性がある。そのため、遊技に影響を与える制御を行う第１ロジック部品（例えば、大入賞口を開閉するためのソレノイドを制御するための信号を出力するシリアル・パラレル変換回路１３４５）を検査用部品実装領域から離れた場所に配置することで誤作動を防止する一方、遊技の進行に影響を与えない制御のみを行う第２ロジック部品（例えば、ＬＥＤ表示を行うシリアル・パラレル変換回路１３４２等）については検査用部品実装領域に近い位置に配置可能とし、回路設計の自由度を高めている（図４０１、段落［３８０９］等参照）。

In the above configuration, on the main control board (main control board 1310), there is an area (non-mounting area 6101) in which no electronic components are arranged around the arithmetic unit (main control MPU 1311), and discrete components can be arranged outside this area. A region (component mounting region 6102) is formed, and a region (second region 6200) in which a logic IC such as an integrated circuit is arranged is formed outside the component mounting region 6102. FIG. A region (second region 6200) in which a logic IC such as an integrated circuit is arranged is formed with a region (inspection component mounting region 6300) in which electronic components for inspection are arranged. Electronic components for inspection are only installed in gaming machines that are inspected by an inspection agency, but since printed patterns such as a data bus are provided in the mounting area for inspection components, noise is induced in the data bus and causes malfunctions. there is a possibility. Therefore, the first logic component (for example, the serial/parallel conversion circuit 1345 that outputs a signal for controlling the solenoid for opening and closing the big winning opening) that performs control affecting the game is separated from the inspection component mounting area. While preventing malfunction by arranging it in a place where the game progresses, the second logic component (for example, the serial-parallel conversion circuit 1342 that performs LED display, etc.) that performs only control that does not affect the progress of the game is an inspection component. It can be arranged at a position close to the mounting area, increasing the degree of freedom in circuit design (see FIG. 401, paragraph [3809], etc.).
