  Here, FIG. 4 shows an electric machine block diagram regarding an information transmission path between a main switch and a start switch that is a trigger for extracting a random number for determination by the main control board 50, and will be described in detail.

The normal symbol activation switch 17a or the special symbol activation switch 18a corresponding to the start switch is configured to include a relay board 59 between the main controller 50 and the wiring in order to reduce complicated wiring.
As described above, the normal symbol operation switch 17a and the special symbol start switch 18a are arranged on the accessory arranged on the game board surface, and the main controller 50 and the relay board 59 are arranged on the back side of the game board. ing.

In this type of gaming machine, situations where a large amount of gaming balls can be acquired (so-called special gaming state) are limited, and if a large number of gaming balls are acquired at other times, cheating is performed. Therefore, it is assumed that fraudulent acts aiming at a situation where a large amount of game balls can be acquired are performed.
At that time, when connecting a possible illegal board such as a hanging board, any one of the normal symbol operation switch 17a and the relay board 59, the special symbol start switch 18a and the relay board 59, or between the relay board 59 and the main controller 50. It is effective to connect to.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), when the unauthorized board 59 ′ is connected between the normal symbol operation switch 17a and the relay board 59 or / and between the special symbol start switch 18a and the relay board 59. Then, the connector 85b or / and 86b on the relay board 59 side of the wiring 85 or / and wiring 86 is disconnected, the connector 85b or / and 86b is connected to the input connector of the unauthorized board 59 ′, and wiring is performed from the output connector of the unauthorized board 59 ′. The connector 87 'is connected to the input connector of the relay board 59.
Here, the connector 85b or / and the connector 86b on the relay board 59 side of the wiring 85 or / and the wiring 86 is illustrated as being removed, but the normal symbol operation switch 17a of the wiring 85 or / and the wiring 86 or / and special. It can be assumed that the connector 85a or / and 86a on the symbol start switch 18a side is removed.

Further, when the illegal board 59 ′ is not connected between the normal symbol operation switch 17a and the relay board 59 or / and between the special symbol start switch 18a and the relay board 59, the relay is performed as shown in FIG. The wiring 87 between the board 59 and the main controller 50 is disconnected, the connector 87b is connected to the input connector of the unauthorized board 59 ′, and the connector of the wiring 87 ′ is connected to the input of the master controller 50 from the output connector of the unauthorized board 59 ′. It can also be connected to a connector.
Here, the connector 87b on the main controller 50 side of the wiring 87 is illustrated as being removed, but it is also possible to assume the case where the connector 87a on the relay board 59 side of the wiring 87 is removed.

Therefore, restricting the insertion / removal of the connector of either the normal symbol operation switch 17a and / or the special symbol start switch 18a and the relay substrate 59 or between the relay substrate 59 and the main controller 50 has little meaning and is illegal. Fraud will be done in places where measures are not taken.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4C, all information transmission between the normal symbol operation switch 17a and the relay board 59, between the special symbol start switch 18a and the relay board 59, and between the relay board 59 and the main controller 50 is performed. It is desirable to restrict the insertion / removal of the wiring connector on the path, and the wiring connector between the start operation switch 201a and the main control board 200 is restricted in consideration of the case where another board is arranged in the middle. Is preferred.

  Since the board case in which the main controller 150 is housed is generally configured to be able to be sealed / opened four times, a restriction member that can be inserted / removed in the same number is also used when restricting connector insertion / removal. It is desirable to have a configuration.

5 is a perspective view of the ordinary electric accessory 18, FIG. 6 is a six-sided view of the ordinary electric accessory 18, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the ordinary electric accessory AA. A method for restricting insertion / removal of the connector 86a of the wiring 86 connected to the wiring 18a will be described in detail.
The structure related to the normal symbol operation switch 17a also has a difference in shape because the installed structure is the normal symbol operation gate 17, but the role related to the regulating member is the same, so the explanation here is as follows. Omit.

The ordinary electric accessory 18 is characterized in that a special symbol switch 18a is inserted from the connector side and provided with a restricting member, and the other structure is not much different from a general ordinary electric accessory, so the description is omitted. To do.
A space (not shown) in which a special symbol start switch 18a can be inserted is provided on the back of the illustrated ordinary electric accessory 18 (a position where the special symbol start switch 18a in FIG. 7 is located), and a special portion is provided at the entrance of the space. A special symbol start switch 18a is inserted by elastically deforming and inserting the locking claw 18d by applying the force to the front (the structure side of the ordinary electric accessory 18) by applying the end of the symbol start switch 18a on the connector side. The structure is accommodated in the ordinary electric accessory 18.

In this case, in order to disconnect the connector 86a of the wiring 86 connected to the special symbol start switch 18a, the latching claw 18d is elastically deformed to allow the special symbol start port switch 18a to move, and then the ordinary electric accessory 18 is moved. The special symbol start switch 18a is removed from the space, and then the connector 86a is removed.
At that time, the method of providing a restricting member for restricting insertion / removal of the connector is roughly classified into a direct method and an indirect method.

The direct method is a method in which the connector 86a of the wiring 86 connected to the special symbol start switch 18a is pinched and pulled out so as not to come out, or a configuration in the vicinity of the connector. In this method, the special symbol start switch 18 a is configured so as not to come out of the space of the ordinary electric accessory 18.
Here, no matter which method is adopted, in order to fulfill the role of regulating the insertion / removal of the connector 86a, it is included in the technical scope of the regulating member 80 (regulating means), and indirect regulation is performed. An example of the case will be described.

A locking claw 18d for setting the size of the entrance of the space portion so that the special symbol start switch 18a cannot be inserted and removed in the vicinity of the entrance of the space portion for accommodating the special symbol start switch 18a of the ordinary electric accessory 18 And a regulating member 80 is provided.
The locking claw 18d is a member that can be elastically deformed, and is integrally formed with the structure of the ordinary electric accessory 18 and a part of the members, and the regulating member 80 includes a regulating part 81, a sealing part 82, and a sealing tool 83 (so-called , A one-way screw or a break screw), and is a separate member fixed to the structure of the ordinary electric accessory 18.

A plurality of sealing portions 82 are provided on the restricting member 80 to restrict the special symbol start switch 18a to a state in which the special symbol start switch 18a cannot be inserted or removed (in a state in which the connector 86a of the wiring 86 connected to the special symbol start switch 18a cannot be inserted or removed). The one sealing part 82 is fixed to the structure of the ordinary electric accessory 18 using the sealing tool 83.
After inserting the special symbol start switch 18a into the space of the ordinary electric accessory 18 and fastening (sealing) the sealing portion 83 of the sealing member 80 and the structure of the ordinary electric accessory 18 using the sealing tool 83, When the special symbol start switch 18a is pulled out from the space portion of the ordinary electric accessory 18 in order to insert / remove the connector 86a, the restricting portion 81 occupies a part of the retreat path, so the structure of the sealing member 80 or the ordinary electric accessory 18 It is necessary to destroy the body (particularly the protrusion 84).

Protrusions 84 are provided near the entrance of the space for accommodating the special symbol start switch 18a of the ordinary electric accessory 18 (near the restricting member 80), and the ordinary electric accessory 18 and the restricting member 80 are fixed. After that, the rotation around the sealed sealing part 82 (or sealing tool 83) is restricted.
When the special electric combination 18a is inserted into the space of the normal electric combination 18 below the normal electric combination 18, the special symbol start switch 18a to the main controller 50 (the special symbol start switch 18a and the main control unit). 50 is provided with a slit 18e for passing the wiring 86 extending to the relay board 59).

  With the above-described configuration, even if any one sealing portion 82 of the regulating member 80 is fixed to the structure of the ordinary electric accessory 18 using the sealing tool 83, the sealing portion where the regulating member 80 itself is fixed. In the configuration capable of rotating around 82, it may be impossible to play a role of restricting insertion / removal of the special symbol start switch 18a. However, by providing the protrusion 84, the sealing portion 82 to which the restriction member 80 itself is secured is provided. Since the rotation around the center is impossible, an environment in which the special symbol start switch 18a cannot be inserted and removed without damaging the restricting member 80 or the structure of the ordinary electric accessory 18 (particularly the protrusion 84). Can do.

  In addition, when a failure such as poor connector contact is found by inspection by a game facility staff or the like, the special symbol start switch 18a can be easily removed by destroying the sealed portion 82 of the sealed regulating member 80. After the connector can be inserted and removed and it is confirmed that the failure such as the contact failure has been eliminated, the sealing portion 82 of the regulating member 80 and the structure of the ordinary electric accessory 18 are connected to the sealing tool 83. And can be sealed again.

  Here, the number of sealing members 82 provided on the regulating member 80 is four. However, the number of sealing members 82 is not limited to this, and a single member may be used, but at least a plurality of sealing members are suitable.

  Further, when the special symbol starting switch 18a is inserted into the space of the ordinary electric accessory 18, the wiring 86 passes through the slit 18e, so that the wiring 86 is connected to the special symbol starting switch 18a and the structure of the ordinary electric accessory 18 with each other. Therefore, the possibility of occurrence of a failure such as a contact failure of the connector 86a or disconnection of the wiring caused by the wiring 86 being sandwiched can be suppressed as much as possible.

  Next, FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the substrate case 90 that houses the main control device 50, FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view of the substrate case 90, and the substrate case 90 that houses the main control device 50 will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the substrate case 90 has a base plate 91 attached to the back surface of the pachinko machine 1 (game board 8), and is substantially the same size as the base plate 91 and is attached to the base plate 91. The box-shaped cover body 92 is configured to cover the main controller 50 with the base plate 91 and the cover body 92.

The base plate 91 is composed of a vertically-long rectangular translucent synthetic resin plate 91a that matches the main controller 50, and the base plate 91 and the cover body 92 are connected to the left ends of the upper and lower side edges of the translucent synthetic resin plate 91a. There is provided a connection plate 91b whose tip is an arrowhead type.
Similarly, a plurality of (here, four) sealing members (regulating members) 93a are provided on the light-transmitting synthetic resin plate 91a.
The plurality of sealing members 93a are formed so as to be able to be fitted to a plurality of (here, four) sealing members (regulating members) 93b provided on a cover body 92, which will be described later, and a pair of sealing members (regulating members). Member) 93 is formed.

As is well known, the main controller 50 is a printed wiring board having a vertically long rectangle, and each electronic component 50a is associated with the upper surface of the printed wiring board.
A fixing hole 50b for inserting a projection 92c of a cover body 92, which will be described later, at a corner of the main controller 50, and a fixing hole for fixing the main controller 50 to a fixing hole 92d of the cover body 92 50c is provided.
A plurality of (here, five) input / output connectors 50d are arranged on one side of the main controller 50.

Here, the input / output connector 50d literally includes an input / output connector, an input-only connector, or an output-only connector, and information from the special symbol start switch 18a is relayed to the input-only connector. A connector 87 b included in the wiring 87 is connected via the substrate 59.
The cover body 92 is made of a light-transmitting synthetic resin material, and includes the above-described plurality of cylindrical sealing members 93b, and the upper and lower surfaces of the surface plate 92a having a shape corresponding to the light-transmitting synthetic resin plate 91a of the base plate 91. An insertion portion 92b for inserting the connection plate 91b is provided at the left end of both side edges.

  Further, a step 92f is provided at a position corresponding to the various input / output connectors 50d when the main controller 50 is fixed to the cover body 92, and an opening 92e for fixing the connector cover 94 to the step is opened in a square shape. Each connector is configured to have an independent connector cover 94 attached thereto.

  The opening 92e has a shape and a size that match the shape of the corresponding connector, is larger than the housing of the corresponding connector, and main-controls the distance between the step 92f of the cover body 92 and the main controller 50. By constructing the connector cover 94 so that the height of the input / output connector 50d of the device 50 and the thickness of the connector cover 94 is larger than the housing of the connectors for various wires, the connectors for the various wires can be connected to the main controller 50 through the openings 92e. Connection to the input / output connector 50d is facilitated, and connectors having various shapes can be inserted.

The connector cover 94 is an elastically deformable member, and is made of the same translucent synthetic resin material as the cover body 92.
When fastening to the opening 92e of the cover body 92, the locking claw 94a of the connector cover 94 is applied to the opening 92e, and the locking claw 94a is elastically deformed and inserted by applying force downward (to the cover body 92 side). By doing so, the connector cover 94 is locked to the cover body 92.

Each connector cover 94 is provided with a slit 94b and a wiring hole 94c having a width corresponding to the wiring of the corresponding connector.
After connecting the connector to the connector to be connected to the input connector 50d, output connector 50e or input / output connector 50d of the main controller 50, the wiring of the connected connector is routed through the slit 94b of the connector cover 94. By reaching the connector 94c and pushing the connector cover 94 into the opening 92e of the cover body 92, the connector cannot be removed from the outside of the cover body 92 (opposite side of the main controller 50).

Therefore, it is preferable to fix the connector cover 94 after confirming that the connector is properly connected.
Here, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the opening 92e of the cover body 92 is provided for each connector, and the connector cover 94 is individually provided corresponding to the opening 92e. The configuration of the connector cover 94 is not limited thereto, and a connector cover 104 including openings 102e corresponding to a plurality of connectors and wiring holes 104c corresponding to the plurality of connectors, like a substrate case 100 for accommodating a relay substrate 59 described later. There is no problem even if it is configured like this.

  Note that the configuration in which the opening 92e is provided for each connector increases the number of parts, but when connecting connectors of different shapes, it becomes difficult to form a gap due to the slit 94b. Is preferred.

By configuring each member constituting the substrate case 90 as described above, the substrate case 90 that houses the main control device 50 first uses the projection 92c and the fastening hole 92d of the cover body 92 to connect the main control device 50 to the main control device 50. Stick.
Next, by covering the cover body 92 with the pedestal 91 so as to cover the back surface of the main controller 50, the sealing member 93a of the base plate 91 and the sealing member 93b of the cover body 92 are fitted to each other, and the sealing member The cover body 92 is fixed to the base plate 91 by screwing a fixing screw 93c (so-called one-way screw or breaking screw) that cannot be removed from the upper portion of 93b.
As a result, the main controller 50 is sealed in the substrate case 91.

  Therefore, when performing an illegal act of connecting an illegal board such as a hanging board, the information from the special symbol start switch 18a is connected to the input connector 50d (via the relay board 59). Since the connector 87b of the wiring 87 must be pulled out and the fixing screw cannot be removed, the fraudulent act is to destroy the sealing member 93 (sealing member 93a or 93b or both), and the trace remains clearly. .

In addition, since it is extremely difficult to conceal the traces of destruction, it is possible to easily find out even if cheating is done.
Moreover, even if the sealing member 93 (sealing member 93a or 93b or both) is broken, the connector cover 94 must be removed from the cover body 92 in order to remove the connector, and the connector cover 94 is removed from the cover body 92. In this case, it is necessary to elastically deform the locking claw 94a of the connector cover 94 from the inside of the cover body 92, and it is necessary to remove the main controller 50 from the cover body 92 in order to elastically deform the locking claw 94a.

  As an actual movement, the seal between the base plate 91 and the cover body 92 is released (the secured sealing member is broken), the main controller 50 is removed from the cover body 92, and the locking claws 94a of the connector cover 94 are elastically moved. Since the connector cover 94 is removed by deformation and the connector 87b of the wiring 87 connected to the input connector 50d is pulled out, it is possible to lengthen the time until an illegal act such as connecting an illegal board such as a hanging board is completed. , It is possible to increase the possibility of detection at the preparation stage of fraud, and also prevent fraud.

  Next, FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the substrate case 100 that houses the relay substrate 59, FIG. 11 is an exploded perspective view of the substrate case 100 that houses the relay substrate 59, and the substrate case 100 that houses the relay substrate 59 is shown in detail. Explained.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the substrate case 100 has a base plate 101 attached to the back surface of the pachinko machine 1 (game board 8) and a size substantially the same as the base plate 101 and is attached to the base plate 101. It is composed of a box-shaped cover body 102, and is configured to cover the relay substrate 59 with the base plate 101 and the cover body 102.
The base plate 101 is made of a vertically-long rectangular translucent synthetic resin plate 101a that matches the relay substrate 59, and the base plate 101 and the cover body 102 are connected to the left ends of the upper and lower side edges of the translucent synthetic resin plate 101a. For this purpose, a connecting plate 101b whose tip is an arrowhead type is provided.

Similarly, the translucent synthetic resin plate 101a is provided with a plurality (four in this case) of sealing members (regulating members) 103a.
The plurality of sealing members 103a are formed so as to be able to be fitted to a plurality of (here, four) sealing members (regulating members) 103b provided on the cover body 102, which will be described later, and a pair of sealing members (regulating members). Member) 103 is formed.

As is well known, the relay board 59 is formed of a printed wiring board having a vertically long rectangle, and has an input connector 59d and an output connector 59e on its upper surface, and no electronic components other than the connector are arranged.
A fastening hole 59b for inserting a projection 102c of the cover body 102, which will be described later, at a corner of the relay board 59, and a fastening hole 59c for fastening the relay board 59 to the fastening hole 102d of the cover body 102, Is penetrated.

An input connector 59d and an output connector 59e are arranged on one side of the relay board 59.
Here, two input connectors 59d provided on the relay board 59 include a connector 85a that the wiring 85 has information from the normal symbol operation switch 17a and a connector 86a that has the wiring 86 has information from the special symbol start switch 18a. It is connected.

  The cover body 102 is made of a translucent synthetic resin material, and includes the plurality of cylindrical sealing members 103b described above. The cover body 102 has upper and lower surfaces of the front plate 102a having a shape corresponding to the translucent synthetic resin plate 101a of the base plate 101. An insertion portion 102b for inserting the connection plate 101b is provided at the left end of both side edges.

  In addition, a step 102f is provided at a position corresponding to the various input / output connectors 50d when the relay board 59 is fixed to the cover body 102, and an opening 102e for opening the connector cover 104 to the step 102f is formed in a square shape. Each connector is configured to have an independent connector cover 104 attached thereto.

  The opening 102e is shaped and sized to match the shape of the corresponding connector, is larger than the housing of the corresponding connector, and the distance between the stepped portion of the cover body 102 and the relay board 59 is the same as that of the relay board 59. By configuring the input connector 50d, the output connector 50e, the input / output connector 50d to be higher in height and the thickness of the connector cover 104 than the connector housing of various wirings, various wirings can be connected through the openings 102e. Connection is easy when connecting the connector to the input connector 50d and output connector 50e of the relay board 59, and connectors of various shapes can be inserted.

The connector cover 104 is a member that can be elastically deformed, and is made of the same translucent synthetic resin material as the cover body 102.
When fastening to the opening 102e of the cover body 102, the locking claw 104a of the connector cover 104 is applied to the opening 102e, and the locking claw 104a is elastically deformed by applying a force downward (to the cover body 102 side). Thus, the connector cover 104 is locked to the cover body 102.
Each connector cover 104 is provided with a slit 104b and a wiring hole 104c having a width corresponding to the wiring of the corresponding connector.

After connecting the connector to the connector to be connected to the input connector 50d, the output connector 50e or the input / output connector 50d of the relay board 59, the wiring of the connected connector is routed through the slit 104b of the connector cover 104 to the wiring hole 104c. And the connector cover 104 is pushed into the opening 102e of the cover body 102 so that the connector cannot be removed from the outside of the cover body 102 (opposite side of the relay board 59).
Therefore, it is preferable to fix the connector cover 104 after confirming that the connector is properly connected.

  Here, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the cover 102 is provided with a connector cover 104 having openings 102e corresponding to a plurality of connectors and wiring holes 104c corresponding to the plurality of connectors. The structure of the connector cover 104 is not limited to this, and the opening 92e of the cover body 92 is provided for each connector as in the case of the substrate case 90 that houses the main controller 50 described above, and the connector 92 corresponds to the opening 92e. There is no problem even if the cover 94 is provided individually.

  In the case of connecting connectors having different shapes in the configuration in which the opening portion 102e corresponding to a plurality of connectors and the connector cover 104 corresponding to the opening portion 102e are provided, a gap due to the slit 104b is easily formed. Since the number of parts is reduced, it is suitable for reducing costs and lightening work.

Each member constituting the substrate case 100 has the above-described configuration, and the substrate case 100 that houses the relay substrate 59 first fixes the relay substrate 59 using the protrusions 102c and the fixing holes 102d of the cover body 102.
Next, by covering the cover body 102 with the pedestal 101 so as to cover the back surface of the main controller 50, the sealing member 103a of the base plate 101 and the sealing member 103b of the cover body 102 are fitted to each other, and the sealing member 103b. The cover body 102 is fixed to the base plate 101 by screwing a fixing screw 103c (a so-called one-way screw or breaking screw) that cannot be removed from the upper portion of the base plate 101.

As a result, the relay substrate 59 is sealed in the substrate case 101.
Therefore, when performing an illegal act such as connecting an illegal board such as a hanging board between the special symbol start switch 18a and the relay board 59, wiring connecting the special symbol start switch 18a and the relay board 59 is performed. Either 86 connectors 86a or 86b must be unplugged.
When the connector 86b of the wiring 86 is pulled out, the fixing screw 103c of the board case 100 cannot be removed. Therefore, in order to perform an illegal act, at least a part of the board case 100 including the sealing member 103 is destroyed. Obviously, it is extremely difficult to conceal the traces that have been destroyed and destroyed, so that it is possible to find them easily even if they are cheated.

  Moreover, even if the sealing member 103 (the sealing member 103a or 103b or both) is broken, the connector cover 104 must be removed from the cover body 102 in order to remove the connector, and the connector cover 104 is removed from the cover body 102. In this case, it is necessary to elastically deform the locking claw 104a of the connector cover 104 from the inside of the cover body 102, and it is necessary to remove the main controller 50 from the cover body 102 in order to elastically deform the locking claw 104a.

  As an actual movement, the seal between the base plate 101 and the cover body 102 is released (the sealed sealing member is destroyed), the main controller 50 is removed from the cover body 102, and the locking claws 104a of the connector cover 104 are elastically moved. Since the connector cover 104 is removed by deformation and the connector 86b of the wiring 86 connected to the input connector 50d is pulled out, it is possible to lengthen the time until an illegal act of connecting an illegal board such as a hanging board is completed. , It is possible to increase the possibility of detection at the preparation stage of fraud, and also prevent fraud.

Subsequently, an attachment procedure for connecting the connector 87b to the input / output connector 50d of the main controller 50 housed in the board case 90 will be described in detail.
Note that the attachment means for connecting the connectors 85b and 86b to the input connector 59d of the relay board housed in the board case 100 is connected to the input / output connector 50d of the main controller 50 housed in the board case 90. Since it is the same procedure as the attachment procedure at the time of connecting 87b, description here is omitted.

  12A is a sectional view of the input / output connector 50d of the board case 90 and the connector 87b of the wiring 87, FIG. 12B is a plan view of the connector cover 94 and the connector 87b of the wiring 87, and FIG. FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the attachment procedure of the connector cover 94, and FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the attachment procedure of the connector 94. The connector 87b of the wiring 87 connecting the relay board 59 and the main controller 50 is restricted. The method will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 12, a connector cover 94 made of synthetic resin is attached to each opening 92e (see FIG. 12A).
The peripheral edge of the connector cover 94 and the peripheral edge of the opening 92e are engaged in close contact with each other, and the connector cover 94 and the connector 87b are disposed close to each other.
Further, the upper and lower side edges of the connector cover 94 are provided with hooked portions 94 a (removal prevention portions) having an arrowhead shape, and the tip of the hook portion 94 a is locked to the back of the stepped portion of the cover body 92. The connector cover 94 cannot be removed from the outside of the substrate case 90.

Therefore, in order to remove the connector cover 94 from the opening 92e, the sealing members 93a and 93b must be broken and the base plate 91 and the cover body 92 must be opened.
Here, the hook portion 94a is not limited to the configuration provided on the upper and lower side edges of the connector cover 94, and may be provided on the left and right side edges, but may be provided on the shorter side edge as much as possible. However, it is desirable to reduce the gap in the vicinity of the connector.
When viewed from the front, the connector cover 94 has a square shape corresponding to the shape of the opening 92e (see FIG. 12B).
A wiring hole 94c is formed in a rectangular shape at the center of the connector cover 94 so that the wiring 87 can pass therethrough.

  The opening area of the wiring hole 94c (in the opening portion of the connector cover 94, the area of the portion other than the slit 94b described later) is the longitudinal direction in the housing of the connector 87b (perpendicular to the connecting direction of the connector 87b). It is smaller than the cross-sectional area (the area surrounded by the dotted rectangle in FIG. 12B) and larger than the cross-sectional area of the wiring 87 in this direction. This prevents the connector 87b from passing through the wiring hole 94c and preventing the connector 87b from passing through the wiring hole 94c, and the connector 87b does not remove the connector cover 94 from the opening 92e. So that it cannot be removed.

Here, the outer shape of the connector cover 94 and the wiring hole 94c are rectangular. However, the shape is not limited to the rectangular shape, and the connector cover 94 has a shape of the opening 92e, and the wiring hole 94c has a wiring cross section of the connector. If it is a shape corresponding to each, it does not matter even if it is not square.
Further, a slit 94 b for attaching the connector cover 94 to the wiring 87 is provided in the upper right portion of the connector cover 94.
The slit 94b is provided so as to be inclined from the right side central portion of the peripheral portion of the wiring hole 94c toward the upper right portion of the peripheral portion of the connector cover 94. The width d1 of the slit 94b is smaller than the width d2 of the wiring 87 in the short direction. A little bigger.
In addition, since a gap in which an illegal act can be performed is provided by providing the slit 94b, the passage width 21d is preferably a width that allows the wiring 87 to pass therethrough.

Here, the position at which the slit 94b is provided is not limited to the upper right portion of the connector cover 94, and may be provided at an appropriate location, but it is preferably provided at the side edge where the hook portion 94a is not provided.
By providing the slit 94b on the side edge where the hook portion 94a is not provided, the length of the path of the slit 94b can be reduced, the gap in which fraud can be performed can be reduced, and the connector cover is also provided. By making the width d3 of 94 in the short direction substantially the same width as the housing d8 of the connector 87b, it is possible to eliminate a gap where an illegal act can be performed.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a procedure for connecting the connector 87b of the wiring 87 to the input / output connector 50d. First, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, the connector 87 b of the wiring 87 is connected through the opening 92 e of the cover body 92 with the wiring 87 passing through the wiring hole 94 c of the connector cover 94. Is connected to the input / output connector 50d. Here, the opening area of the opening 92e is slightly larger than the cross-sectional area in the longitudinal direction of the connector 87b of the wiring 87.

Next, the connector cover 94 is moved along the wiring 87 in the direction of the opening 92e. Since the opening area of the wiring hole 94c of the connector cover 94 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the wiring 87 and smaller than the housing of the connector 87b, the above movement is facilitated. Subsequently, the connector cover 94 is fitted into and attached to the opening 92e (see FIG. 13C).
As described above, since the connector cover 94 includes the hook portion 94a, the connector cover 94 is fitted into the opening 92e so that the connector cover 94 cannot be removed from the outside of the board case 90.

Moreover, about the removal of the connector cover 94 and the connector 87b of the wiring 87, removal is performed by the reverse procedure of the said connection procedure.
Specifically, since the connector cover 94 and the connector 87b of the wiring 87 are close to each other (see FIG. 13C), the connector 87b of the wiring 87 is inserted when the connector cover 94 is attached to the opening 92e. It cannot be removed from the output connector 50d.
Therefore, it is necessary to first remove the connector cover 94 from the opening 92e. However, since the connector cover 94 is provided with a hook portion 94a and the connector cover 94 cannot be removed from the opening 92e, the sealing member 93a, 93b is destroyed and the sealing of the substrate case 90 is released (the base plate 91 and the cover body 92 are opened).

However, in this state, the main controller 50 is fixed to the cover body 92, and the hook portion 94a of the connector cover 94 cannot be released. Therefore, the main controller 50 fixed to the cover body 92 is removed. Thus, the connector cover 94 can be removed from the inside of the substrate case 90 (inside the cover body 92).
After the connector cover 94 is removed from the opening 92e, the connector cover 94 is moved away from the opening 92e (see FIG. 13B), and the connector 87b of the wiring 87 is moved from the input / output connector 50d. Remove (see FIG. 13A).

  Next, a procedure for attaching the connector cover 94 to the wiring 87 will be described with reference to FIG. 14 is a plan view of the connector cover 94 and the connector 87b of the wiring 87, a front view of the connector cover 94 corresponding to the positional relationship of the connector cover 94 and the connector 87b of the wiring 87 in the plan view, and the connector 87b of the wiring 87. It is sectional drawing.

  As a mounting procedure, first, the wiring 87 outside the connector cover 94 (see FIG. 14A) is inserted into a slit 94b provided in the lower left portion of the connector cover 94. Here, since the width of the slit 94b is set to be slightly larger than the width in the short direction of the wiring 87, the wiring 87 is inserted into the slit 94b with the surface in the short direction of the wiring 87 facing, It slides along 94b (refer FIG.14 (b)). Then, the wiring 87 is guided to the wiring hole 94c, and the wiring 87 penetrates the wiring hole 94c (see FIG. 14C). The subsequent procedure for connecting the connector cover 94 and the connector 87b of the wiring 87 to the board case 90 is as shown in FIG.

  The procedure for removing the connector cover 94 from the wiring 87 is performed in the reverse order of the above. The removal procedure is performed in a state where the connector cover 94 is removed from the opening 92e (see FIG. 14C). Specifically, the wiring 87 passing through the wiring hole 94c is slid along the slit 94b. The connector cover 94 can be removed from the wiring 87 by moving the connector cover 94 to the outside (see FIGS. 14A and 14B). In the state where the connector cover 94 is attached to the opening 92e, the connector cover 94 cannot be removed from the wiring 87.

As described above, the starting case (normal symbol operating switch 17a provided on the normal symbol operating gate, special symbol starting switch 18a provided on the ordinary electric accessory 18), and the board case 100 for housing the relay board 59, which are the triggers for extracting the random numbers for determination. In addition, by configuring the substrate case 90 for housing the main controller 50 as described in the present embodiment, the normal symbol operation switch 17a and the relay substrate 59, the special symbol start switch 18a and the relay substrate 59, and the relay substrate 59 are provided. It is difficult to connect an illegal board such as a hanging board between the main controller 50 and the main controller 50, and it is possible to ensure safety on the information transmission path from the start switch that is a trigger for extracting the random number for determination to the main controller 50. Become.
In addition, it is configured so that traces remain when forced fraud is performed, so that it can be detected early, and measures are taken to extend the fraudulent work time. The possibility of discovering during work is also increased, and damage can be suppressed as a whole.

In the first embodiment, in order to make it difficult to connect illegal boards, all the information transmission paths between the special symbol start switch 18a and the main controller 50 and between the normal symbol operation switch 17a and the main controller 50 in the pachinko machine 1 are used. The connectors (85a and b, 86a and b, 87a and b) of the wirings 85, 86, and 87 are configured to restrict insertion and removal.
However, the same can be done in the information transmission path between the start lever and the main control device in the slot machine of the spinning machine.

  In view of this, in the slot machine 150, an electrical block diagram relating to an information transmission path between the start control switch 201a that detects the operation of the start lever 201 that triggers the extraction of random numbers for determination by the main control board 200 and the main control board 200 is shown. 15 and will be described in detail.

The slot machine 150 has a limited situation (so-called BB, RB, CT, AT) in which a large amount of game balls can be acquired. If a large number of medals are acquired at other timings, cheating is performed. Therefore, it is assumed that fraudulent acts aiming at a situation where a large number of medals can be obtained are performed.
In the slot machine 150, the switch corresponding to the start switch that triggers the extraction of the random number for determination is a start operation switch 201a that detects the operation of the start lever 201, and is connected to the main control board 200 in order to reduce complicated wiring. Since the relay board 202 is provided between the relay board 202 and the illegal board such as a hanging board, it is connected between the start operation switch 201a and the relay board 202 or between the relay board 202 and the main controller 200. Is effective.

As shown in FIG. 15A, when connecting the unauthorized board 202 ′ between the start lever operation switch 201a and the relay board 202, the connector 88b on the relay board 202 side of the wiring 88 is removed, and the connector 88b is connected to the unauthorized board. Connect to the input connector of 202 ′, and connect the connector of the wiring 88 ′ from the output connector of the unauthorized board 202 ′ to the input connector of the relay board 202.
Here, the connector 88b on the relay board 202 side of the wiring 88 is shown as being removed, but the same applies to the case where the connector 88a on the start lever operation switch 201a side of the wiring 88 is removed.

If the unauthorized board 202 ′ is not connected between the start lever operation switch 201a and the relay board 202, the wiring 89 between the relay board 202 and the main control board 200 is removed as shown in FIG. The connector 89b is connected to the input connector of the unauthorized board 202 ′, and the connector of the wiring 89 ′ is connected from the output connector of the unauthorized board 202 ′ to the input connector of the main control board 200.
Here, the connector 89b on the main control board 200 side of the wiring 89 is shown as being removed, but the same applies to the case where the connector 89a on the relay board 202 side of the wiring 89 is removed.
Therefore, restricting the plugging / unplugging of any one of the wirings between the start operation switch 201a and the relay board 202 and between the relay board 202 and the main controller 200 has little meaning, and fraud is performed at a place where fraud countermeasures are not taken. Will be done.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15C, it is desirable to restrict the connector insertion / removal of the wiring between the start operation switch 201a and the relay board 202 and between the relay board 202 and the main controller 200, and other boards are in the middle. It is preferable to restrict the insertion / removal of the connector of the wiring from the start operation switch 201a to the main control board 200 in consideration of the case where it is arranged in the position.
Since the board case in which the main controller 150 is housed is generally configured to be able to be sealed / opened four times, a restriction member that can be inserted / removed in the same number is also used when restricting connector insertion / removal. It is desirable to have a configuration.

As a method of providing a restricting member for restricting insertion / removal of the connector 88a connected to the start operation switch 201a, either a direct method or an indirect method may be used. However, there is no problem as long as it plays the role of restricting the insertion and removal of the connector 88a.
The structure of the substrate case 203 that accommodates the main controller 200 is basically the same as the structure of the substrate case 90 described in the first embodiment, and the structure of the substrate case 204 that accommodates the relay substrate 202 is also the same. Since it is basically the same as the structure of the substrate case 100 described in the first embodiment and there is no problem, the description in the first embodiment is used.

As described above, in this embodiment, the start switch (start operation switch 201a provided on the start lever 201) that triggers the extraction of the random number for determination, the substrate case 204 that stores the relay substrate 202, and the substrate case 203 that stores the main controller 200 are used in this embodiment. With the configuration described above, it is difficult to connect an illegal board such as a hanging board between the start operation switch 201a and the relay board 202, and between the relay board 202 and the main control device 200, and it becomes an opportunity to extract a random number for determination. It is possible to ensure safety on the information transmission path from the start switch to the main controller 200.
In addition, it is configured so that traces remain when forced fraud is performed, so that it can be detected early, and measures are taken to extend the fraudulent work time. The possibility of discovering during work is also increased, and damage can be suppressed as a whole.
