Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that can easily connect / release a rendering device and a relay board.

In a gaming machine, a base frame is normally pivotally supported on the front surface of the outer frame, and a glass frame fitted with a glass plate is pivotally supported on the front surface of the base frame. The game board mounted on the front surface of the base frame can be seen through the glass plate.
Furthermore, conventionally, there are presentation devices such as decoration lamps provided on the glass frame disposed on the front side of the base frame of the gaming machine and speakers provided on the upper front of the base frame, and these presentation devices are used for the progress of the game. Together, it will produce light and sound.

By the way, the effect device is controlled by each control board. However, in recent years, the control board has been increased in size with the diversification of the effect contents of the gaming machines, and such an enlarged control board is provided. In preparation, it was difficult in the area of the limited base frame.
Therefore, as a technical means for solving such a problem, a configuration in which each control board is provided on the back side of the base frame is adopted, and these rendering device and each control board are electrically connected by a relay board. Yes. The relay board is provided on the back side of the base frame together with the control boards, and the relay board and the effect device are connected by a connection cord through a through hole formed in the base frame (Patent Document). 1).
