The game control circuit connector terminal 34 is detachably connected to the connection connector terminal 21 provided on the upper rear surface of the game board 8 via the male connection connector terminal 36 of the connection cord 35. The mounting board 13 for accommodating the external relay terminal board 14 is made of synthetic resin and is formed in a horizontally elongated thin box shape so that it is fixed to the mechanism plate 2, that is, to the upper rear surface of the pachinko machine main body. It is. Then, two windows are opened side by side at the right end, one window is used as the mounting portion 15, and the other window is left as a through hole, as a window 37 that faces the connector terminal 21 provided on the game board 8. I have. The mounting portion 15 is provided with a not-shown locking claw on the inner peripheral edge thereof, and when the plate-shaped external relay terminal board 14 is fitted, the claw can lock and lock the edge portion. The window 37 corresponds to the upper right corner of the rear surface of the game board 8, and the connector terminal 21 provided at this position is made to face from the front simultaneously with the mounting of the game board 8, so that it can protrude backward through the window. It is.

As is apparent from the above configuration, the pachinko machine according to the present invention mainly includes the front frame 1, the mechanism plate 2, and the mechanism frame. By installing the main body control circuit 24 and the game control circuit 19 on the back of the pachinko machine main body, when the game board is replaced, only the game control circuit related to the game is converted together with this game board, and the other main body control circuits are Since it can be used continuously as it is, it is advantageous in terms of cost, it does not require unnecessary replacement of parts, and it can eliminate individual connection work of connector terminals of each part. It is advantageous in terms of sex. The pachinko machine according to the present invention separates the main body control circuit and the game control circuit and collects the cords connected to each circuit individually, while the cords connected to both control circuits are connected to each connector terminal. Collectively pre-connected By connecting via the external relay terminal board provided on the main unit side, it is possible to achieve the connection of many control circuits, so it is excellent in workability, and in addition, a large number of cords are pre-collected in the connector connector terminal Since the connection is fixed, it is possible to prevent a connection error from occurring. At the same time, through this, according to the present invention, only the specified connection terminal can be connected to the external relay terminal board, and therefore, the connection cannot be made to the connection terminal of the modified incorrect circuit. It is possible to prevent some kind of wrongdoing. In addition to the above-described effects, the present invention provides an external relay terminal board on the upper rear surface of the pachinko machine main body so that when another connection terminal is connected, it can be immediately visually detected, thereby further preventing fraud. It is valid.
