Note that large components mounted on the first substrate unit 46 generate heat and noise, but these components are separated from the CPU 50 and the IC 51 mounted on the second substrate unit 47. The influence of heat and noise on the IC 51 can be reduced. In addition, since a large number of heat radiation holes 55d and 59a are formed in the upper part of the substrate case 45, heat generated from the large components disposed in the upper part efficiently escapes to the outside and does not stay in the case. .

The orientation of the connectors 52 and 53 arranged on the second board portion 47 is set so that the connection ports 52a and 53a extend along the arrangement surface of the board portion 47 (control board arrangement surface). Accordingly, the front and rear thicknesses of the portion of the display control device M facing the rear surface side of the storage box body 21 can be reduced. In addition, since the connector 35 of each symbol display unit U faces the rear lower portion of the housing box 21 and the corresponding connector 52 of the display control device M is disposed below the second substrate portion 47, both connectors 35, The harness 36 for connecting 52 can be shortened. That is, the material cost can be reduced, and the influence from noise caused by the length of the harness 36 can be suppressed.
[0040]
Further, in the symbol variable display device K of the embodiment, the connector 52 disposed on the second substrate portion 47 is directed downward and protected by the second case body 55, so the pachinko machine P is installed. It is possible to prevent a pachinko ball falling on the rear side of the pachinko machine P in the island from colliding with the connector 52 and causing damage or a short circuit. Furthermore, since the harness 36 is connected to the connector 52 from below, the harness 36 also does not protrude rearward from the arrangement surface of the second board portion 47, and the pachinko ball collides with the harness 36. Can also be prevented.
