  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the start winning device 33 includes a first start port 33a (for example, an operation chucker) and a second start port 33b (for example, an operation chucker) arranged in order from the top to the bottom. It consists of a single winning device. The upper first start port 33a is provided with an operation port switch 224 (passage detection switch) shown in FIG. 13 to be described later for the first start port 33a. The sphere is detected by the operating port switch 224 for the first starting port 33a. The lower second start port 33b is provided with an operation port switch 224 (passage detection switch) shown in FIG. 13 for the second start port 33b, which will be described later, and is connected to the second start port 33b. The sphere is detected by the operation port switch 224 (see FIG. 13) for the second start port 33b. That is, in either case of entering a game ball into the first start port 33a on the upper side or entering a game ball into the second start port 33b on the lower side, it is a start prize. There is no change, and those balls can be detected individually.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the transparent game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and a game ball that has not entered the various winning devices or the like passes through the out port 36 and a ball discharge path (not shown). Guided towards The transparent game board 30 is provided with a large number of nails for appropriately dispersing and adjusting the falling direction of the game balls, and various members (functions) such as a windmill 37 are disposed.

  The variable display device unit 35 includes a first symbol display device 40 that variably displays a first symbol (for example, a special symbol) as identification information with a winning at the first starting port 33a and the second starting port 33b as a trigger. Using the passage of the third start port 34 as a trigger, the second symbol display device 41 that variably displays the second symbol (for example, the normal symbol), and the first start port 33a and the second start port 33b are awarded. As a trigger, a third symbol display device 42 that variably displays a third symbol (for example, a decorative symbol) is provided.

  The first symbol display device 40 includes, for example, a plurality of (two in the present embodiment) two-color light emitting type LEDs (light emitting diodes) 40a that emit variable light emission or the like based on the ball entering the first start port 33a. 40b, a holding lamp 40c indicating the number of holdings of the variable display by the LEDs 40a and 40b, and a plurality (two in this embodiment) of 2 that emit light varying based on the ball entering the second start port 33b. There are provided color light emitting type LEDs (light emitting diodes) 40d and 40e and a holding lamp 40f indicating the number of holdings of variable display on the LEDs 40d and 40e.

  For example, the LEDs 40a and 40b that perform variable light emission based on entering the first start port 33a can emit red and blue light. The first symbol display device 40 generates a variable display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, the emission color mode of each LED 40a, 40b) by alternately changing the emission color of each LED 40a, 40b, for example, When both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a red light emitting state, a probable big hit (specific hit) is indicated, and when both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a blue light emitting state, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated, and both LEDs 40a and 40b are mutually connected. When it stops in the light emission state of a different color, it will show off.

  Similarly to the above, the LEDs 40d and 40e that emit light in a variable manner based on the ball entering the second start port 33b can emit light in red and blue, for example. The first symbol display device 40 generates a variable display state of the first symbol (in this embodiment, the emission color mode of each LED 40d, 40e) by alternately changing the emission color of each LED 40d, 40e, for example, When both LEDs 40d and 40e stop in a red light emitting state, a promiscuous big hit (specific hit) is indicated, and when both LEDs 40d and 40e stop in a blue light emitting state, a normal big hit (non-specific hit) is indicated, and both LEDs 40d and 40e are mutually connected. When it stops in the light emission state of a different color, it will show off.

  In addition, as this 1st symbol display apparatus 40, you may employ | adopt the single LED of the type which can light-emit at least 3 colors or more, and by performing light emission of each color alternately, the 1st symbol is displayed. When the LED stops in the light emission state of the first color, it shows a probable big hit (specific hit), and when the LED stops in the light emission state of the second color, it usually shows a big hit (non-specific hit) When the LED stops in the light emission state of the third color, it may be indicated that the LED has come off. The first symbol display device 40 described above corresponds to the identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The second symbol display device 41 includes, for example, a display unit 41a on which “○” is drawn for the second symbol, a display unit 41b on which “x” is drawn for the second symbol, and a holding lamp 41c. When the game ball passes through the second starting port 34, for example, the display symbols (ordinary symbols) displayed by the display units 41a and 41b change, and when the change display stops at a predetermined symbol, the lower side The two start ports 33b are configured to be activated (opened) for a predetermined time. The number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start port 34 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is lit and displayed by the hold lamp 41c. The display units 41a and 41b have LEDs (light emitting diodes) inside thereof, and are configured to be variably displayed by switching the light emission of the LEDs (or lighting of the lamps). The second symbol display device 41 described above corresponds to the normal identification information fluctuation display means in the present invention.

  The 3rd symbol display apparatus 42 is comprised, for example with the liquid crystal display device, and the display content is controlled by the display control apparatus 45 mentioned later. On the third symbol display device 42, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 described later, three decorative symbol rows L, M, and R on the left, middle, and right are displayed. Each of the decorative symbol rows L, M, R is composed of a plurality of decorative symbols, and these decorative symbols are variably displayed on the third symbol display device 42 so as to be scrolled for each of the decorative symbol rows L, M, R. The In the present embodiment, the third symbol display device 42 (liquid crystal display device) includes, for example, a large liquid crystal display of 11 inch size. The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 on the front side of the third symbol display device 42 so as to substantially surround the display screen of the third symbol display device 42 when viewed from the front. In this embodiment, an LCD is employed as the third symbol display device 42, but other types of image display devices (for example, PDP: plasma display panel, EL: electroluminescence display, organic EL, etc.) may be used. . The above-described third symbol display device 42 corresponds to decoration identification information (design) variation display means in the present invention, and the above-described display control device 45 corresponds to display control means in the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won or difficult to win, and is in an open state in which a game ball is easy to win in a big hit and a normal closed state. It is operated repeatedly. In this way, the state in which the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly operated in the open state and the normal closed state at the time of a big win is called a specific gaming state (for example, a big winning state), and the variable winning device 32 has many games. Since the ball enters (wins) and a lot of game balls are paid out for the winning, the game state is advantageous to the player. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the number of game balls thrown in (the number of game balls launched into the game area 30a by the game ball launching device 38) is the number of game ball award balls paid out (general winning port 31). , The number of prize balls paid out based on the number of game balls entered into the variable prize device 32, the start prize device 33, the third start port 34, etc.) and the prize of the game balls It is possible to change the state to a specific gaming state (for example, a big hit state) in which the number of balls paid out is larger than the number of game balls inserted.

  More specifically, when a game ball wins the first start port 33a, the two LEDs 40a and 40b of the first symbol display device 40 are displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the LEDs 40a and 40b after the change is stopped is a preset light emission. A specific gaming state occurs when a combination of modes is obtained. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a red light emitting state, it indicates that a specific gaming state with a probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and both LEDs 40a and 40b are stopped in a blue light emitting state. In the case of the light-emission mode, it indicates that the player has won the special game state of normal big hit (non-specific hit), and in the case of the light-emission mode that both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in the light-emission state of different colors (You have lost the game).

  Similarly to the above, when the game ball wins the second start opening 33b, the two LEDs 40d, 40e of the first symbol display device 40 are displayed in a variable manner, and the display of the LEDs 40d, 40e after the change stop is preset. A specific gaming state occurs when a combination of light emission modes is obtained. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in a red light emitting state, it indicates that a specific gaming state with a probable big hit (specific hit) is won, and both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in a blue light emitting state. In the case of the light emission mode, it indicates that the player has won the specific game state of the normal big hit (non-specific hit), and in the case of the light emission mode in which both LEDs 40d and 40e are stopped in the light emission states of different colors (You have lost the game).

  The variable winning device 32 is configured such that the large winning opening 32a is in a predetermined open state, and the game ball is likely to win (a big hit state). Specifically, the special winning opening 32a of the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly opened a predetermined number of times (the number of rounds) with the passage of a predetermined time or a predetermined number of winnings in the open state as one round. In addition, the number of times that the game ball has passed through the first start port 33a is held up to 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed by the holding lamp 40c. In addition, the number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start port 33b is also held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times of holding is displayed by the hold lamp 40f. Note that the hold lamps 40c and 40f may be configured to hold display on a part of the display screen of the third symbol display device 42.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the transparent game board 30 has a plurality of rails 51 and 52 for guiding the game balls launched from the game ball launching device 38 (see FIG. 3) to the upper part of the transparent game board 30. Is attached, and the game balls launched by the turning operation of the game ball launching handle 18 are guided to a predetermined game area 30a through a ball guide passage 49 (to be described later) of the plurality of rails 51 and 52. ing. The plurality of rails 51 and 52 are long metal strip members made of stainless steel, and are attached to the transparent game board 30 in an inner and outer double. The inner rail 51 is formed in a substantially vertical elliptical shape except for about 1/4 of the upper side. The outer rail 52 is formed so that a part (mainly the left side) faces the inner rail 51. In such a case, a guide rail is constituted by the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52, and a ball guide passage 49 is formed by a portion (the left portion toward the left) where the rails 51 and 52 are parallel to each other at a predetermined interval. . The ball guide passage 49 is formed in a groove shape having a contact surface with the transparent game board 30, that is, in a groove shape with the front side open.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail 51 (the upper left portion in FIG. 2). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the ball guide passage 49 between the inner rail 51 and the outer rail 52 to the upper portion of the transparent game board 30 returns to the ball guide passage 49 again. It has become. Further, in a state where the transparent game board 30 is attached to the inner frame 12, a position corresponding to the maximum flight portion of the game ball on the outer rail 52 (upper right portion in FIG. 2: a portion corresponding to the tip portion of the outer rail 52). In FIG. 2, the return rubber 54 (a member indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2) provided in the inner frame 12 is located. Therefore, the game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and is bounced back. Since the outer rail 52 is made of a long metal strip made of stainless steel, the flight of the game ball can be made smoother, that is, the frictional resistance of the game ball can be reduced. As shown by a broken line in FIG. 2, a wall portion 60 (shown by a broken line in FIG. 2) formed on the inner frame 12 is located from the front end of the outer rail 52 to the right front end of the inner rail 51. Thus, the game area 30a is partitioned.

  Note that the lower right corner of the transparent game board 30 is a space for sticking a seal (S1 in FIG. 2) such as a stamp (for example, a serial number is written) or a plate. By sticking a sticker such as a certificate (S1 in FIG. 2) to the lower right corner of the transparent game board 30, the transparency of the transparent game board 30 and the certificate can be made unique.

  The RAM 503 is configured so that the backup voltage is supplied from the power supply device 313 even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned off and data can be retained (backed up). The RAM 503 temporarily stores various data and the like. Has memory and area.

  That is, when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 executes the normal processing up to the end, so that the RAM 503 is when the power is turned off (including when a power failure occurs, and so on). It is only necessary to store and hold the contents of the counter buffer and the holding ball storage area, and the state of the pachinko machine 10 can be restored to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned on again. Specifically, the RAM 503 has a dedicated backup area for storing values of registers, I / O, and the like for game information during normal processing when the power is turned off (including when a power failure occurs). There is no need to provide it. The N501 terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the CPU 501 is configured to receive a power failure signal S1 output from a power failure monitoring circuit 542, which will be described later, when a power failure occurs due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. Due to the occurrence, the power failure process (NMI interrupt process) is immediately executed.

  An input / output port 505 is connected to the CPU 501 incorporating the ROM 502 and RAM 503 via a bus line 504 including an address bus and a data bus. The input / output port 505 includes a RAM erasing switch circuit 543, a payout control device 311, a firing control device 312, a sub control device 262, a first symbol display device 40, a second symbol display device 41, and other switches not shown. Etc. are connected. The main controller 261 also has a function of controlling the first symbol variation display on the first symbol display device 40 and the second symbol variation display on the second symbol display device 41.

  The RAM 513 of the payout control device 311 is configured so that the backup voltage is supplied from the power supply device 313 and data can be retained (backup) even after the pachinko machine 10 is turned off, like the RAM 503 of the main control device 261 described above. The RAM 513 includes a memory and an area for temporarily storing various data.

  The RAM 513 stores and holds information related to the state when the power is turned off in order to return the state of the pachinko machine 10 to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned off due to a power failure or the like. In other words, the storage of the RAM 513 is executed when the power is turned off by the NMI interrupt process and the second half of the payout control process, and the storage information stored in the RAM 513 is restored in the power recovery process when the power is turned on. .

  The RAM 513 stores and holds information related to the state when the power is turned off in order to return the state of the pachinko machine 10 to the state before the power is turned off when the power is turned off due to a power failure or the like. In other words, the storage of the RAM 513 is executed when the power is turned off by the NMI interrupt process and the second half of the payout control process, and the storage information stored in the RAM 513 is restored in the power recovery process when the power is turned on. .

  An input / output port 515 is connected to the CPU 511 incorporating the ROM 512 and the RAM 513 through a bus line 514 including an address bus and a data bus. The main controller 261, the launch controller 312 and the payout motor 358a are connected to the input / output port 515, respectively.

Specifically, the launch control device 312 receives a card unit connection signal S4 from the payout control device 311 (a signal that is output when the card unit described above is connected to the pachinko machine 10), and the player Touch detection signal S5 output when the game ball launch handle 18 is touched and output when the launch stop switch 18a provided on the game ball launch handle 18 for stopping the launch is not operated. The firing permission signal S7 is output to the main controller 261 on condition that all of the fired maintenance signals S6 to be performed are inputted.

  That is, the period during which the firing permission signal S7 is ON (high level) is a firing permission state, and the period during which the firing permission signal S7 is OFF (low level) is a firing non-permission state. That is, the main control device 261 has a firing control signal S8 (pulse signal) for controlling a launching solenoid (not shown) that launches a game ball during a period when the input firing permission signal S7 is ON (high level). The ball feed control signal S9 (pulse signal) for controlling the ball feed solenoid that sends the game ball to the launch rail 401 is repeatedly output to the launch control device 312 at a predetermined repetition period. The launch control device 312 drives and controls the launch device 229 based on the launch control signal S8 and the ball feed control signal S9, and a game ball is launched with an intensity corresponding to the amount of operation of the game ball launch handle 18. On the contrary, the main control device 261 does not output the firing control signal S8 and the ball feed control signal S9 to the firing control device 312 during the period when the input firing permission signal S7 is OFF (low level). The game ball is not fired by 229.

The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the voltage of AC 24 volts with the power supply unit 541 and determines that a power failure (power failure) has occurred when the time when this voltage has become less than 24 volts exceeds, for example, 20 milliseconds. The power failure signal S1 is output to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. Based on the output of the power failure signal S1, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 recognize the occurrence of a power failure and execute a power failure process (NMI interrupt process).

  Note that the power supply unit 541 has a sufficient time for execution of the power outage process even after the AC 24 volt monitored by the power supply unit 541 is less than 24 volts for more than 20 milliseconds. The control system is configured to maintain the output of 5 volts, which is the drive voltage of the control system, at a normal value. Therefore, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 can normally execute and complete the power failure process.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 is a circuit for taking in the switch signal of the RAM erase switch 323 and clearing backup data in the RAM 503 of the main controller 261 and the RAM 513 of the payout controller 311 in accordance with the state of the switch 323. When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal S2 to the main control board 261a. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch 323 pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), the data in the RAM 503 is cleared in the main controller 261, and the payout controller 311 is in the main controller. When the initialization command from H.261 is received, the data in RAM 513 is cleared.

  By the way, in the third symbol display device 42 (liquid crystal display device), as shown in FIG. 5, three decorative symbol rows L, M, and R of left, middle, and right are set.

As shown in 31 (a), the locking portion 93 c of the relay board base 93 is locked to the locked portion 95 c of the relay board cover 95.

  In this locked state, since the right end portion of the relay board base 93 is in contact with the removal restricting wall portion 95d of the relay board cover 95, the relay board cover 95 cannot be further advanced in the insertion direction. The relay board base 93, not the cover 95, cannot be further advanced in the insertion direction. Further, since the locking portion 93c of the relay board base 93 is locked to the locked portion 95c of the relay board cover 95, the relay board cover 95 cannot be pulled out in the pulling direction. The relay substrate base 93 cannot be extracted in the extraction direction. Therefore, the special winning opening relay terminal board 91 is caulked to the relay board base 93.

  Next, a procedure for releasing the caulking of the special winning opening relay terminal board 91 will be described.

  As shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 30B and FIG. 31B, the caulking release breaking portion 95b of the relay substrate cover 95 is cut using a cutting tool.

  When the caulking release broken portion 95b of the relay board cover 95 is cut, as shown in FIGS. 30 (c) and 31 (c), it is a front side portion of the relay board cover 95 and is a large winning opening relay terminal. The portion 96 (cut piece) covering the substrate 91 is removed.

  The right winning port relay terminal substrate 91 is taken out from the hollow space 93a of the relay substrate base 93 so that the large winning port relay terminal substrate 91 is inclined with respect to the relay substrate base 93. By pulling out the large winning opening relay terminal board 91 in the right direction, the large winning opening relay terminal board 91 can be taken out from the relay board base 93 without being restricted by the stop plate portion 93b on the left end side of the relay board base 93. it can.

  Here, the point that the different-type general prize opening passage part 70 can be attached to the permissible space 62a on the front side of the main body part 60A of the collective passage board 60 will be described below with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 32, a general winning opening passage component 70 of the present model indicated by a solid line is attached to the permissible space 62a on the front side of the main body component 60A of the collective passage board 60.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, by attaching the attachment portion 71 of the general prize opening passage part 70 to the attached portion 63 of the main body part 60A, the general winning opening passage part 70 becomes the main body part. It is attached to 60A.

  For example, it is possible to remove the general prize opening passage component 70 shown by the solid line in FIG. 32 and attach a different type of general prize opening passage component 70A. As shown in FIG. 32, the different-type general winning opening passage component 70A has a shape having a passage portion indicated by a broken line as shown in FIG. 32 in order to correspond to the position of the general winning opening on the different type of game board. Suppose that That is, the different-type general winning opening passage component 70A includes the mounting portion 71 at the position corresponding to the mounted portion 63 of the collective passage board 60 as described above, and only the shape of the passage is different. .

  As described above, the different-type general winning opening part 70A can be attached to the main part 60A of the collective passage board 60 and can be easily removed.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment, the main control device 261 that performs a predetermined control on the game, and the electrical connection between the main control device 261 and the other count switch 223 are relayed. In the gaming machine including the relay board component 90 having the winning port relay terminal board 91, the relay board component 90 is recessed in the back side in a state where the opening portion into which the big winning port relay terminal board 91 is inserted is viewed from the front. A relay board base 93 having a hollow space portion 93a for accommodating the large winning opening relay terminal substrate 91 in a space, and the relay board base 93 in a state where the large winning opening relay terminal substrate 91 is accommodated in the hollow space 93a. In addition to having an insertion portion 95a into which an end portion on one side of the opening portion of the opening portion is inserted, and the end portion of the relay board base 93 is inserted into the insertion portion 95a, the opening one side side of the opening portion A portion of the relay board cover 95 that covers the relay board cover 95 that is in the hollow space portion 93a of the relay board base 93 and that is opposite to the place where the relay board cover 95 exists in the large winning opening relay terminal board 91 cannot be taken out at least from the opening. A stop plate portion 93b for restricting the relay board cover 95, a locking portion 93c for locking the relay board cover 95 in a state where the end of the relay board base 93 is fitted in the fitting portion 95a of the relay board cover 95, and a cover A locking portion 95c.

  Therefore, one end side of the large winning opening relay terminal board 91 accommodated in the relay board base 93 of the relay board component 90 is regulated so as not to be taken out from the opening of the relay board base 93 by the stop plate portion 93b. The other end side of the large winning opening relay terminal board 91 is regulated so that the relay board cover 95 covers the one side of the opening of the opening of the relay board base 93 so that it cannot come out from the opening of the relay board base 93. Therefore, the special winning opening relay terminal board 91 can be prevented from being removed from the relay board base 93. Moreover, since the relay board cover 95 is detachably locked to the relay board base 93 by the locking part 93c and the locked part 95c, the relay board cover 95 is removed and the special winning opening relay terminal board 91 is removed. It cannot be taken out from the relay board base 93. Therefore, the relay board component 90 can be assembled without screwing the large winning opening relay terminal board 91 to the relay board base 93, and the large winning opening relay terminal board 91 is caulked to the relay board base 93 in the assembled state. Yes.

  In addition, since a configuration in which the large winning opening relay terminal board 91 is included in a case with a caulking mechanism such as a so-called main control board is not adopted, a relatively large caulking mechanism with respect to the large winning opening relay terminal board 91 has a relay board component 90. Therefore, the increase in size of the relay board component 90 can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine equipped with the relay board component 90 that can be assembled by caulking the winning prize relay terminal board 91 without screwing.

  Further, when the caulking release broken portion 95b of the relay board cover 95 is broken, the cover portion of the opening side of the relay board cover 95 on the one side of the opening is removed, and the relay board cover 95 has a large winning opening relay terminal. The trace of the caulking release of the board 91 can be left, and the large winning opening relay terminal board 91 can be detached from the relay board base 93. Therefore, it can be seen that the caulking of the relay board component 90 is released by observing the destruction trace of the caulking release broken portion 95b.

  Further, the right cover component 162 is disposed in proximity to or in contact with a portion of the relay board component 90 in the direction of removing the relay board cover 95. Therefore, the relay board cover 95 is forcibly moved from the relay board base 93 in the removing direction so that the locking of the locking part 93c and the locked part 95c is forcibly understood or the locking part 93c and the locked part 95c are removed. Even if the relay board cover 95 is illegally removed from the relay board base 93 by damaging the relay board cover 95, the removal of the relay board cover 95 can be restricted by the presence of the right cover component 162. Removal can be reduced.

  Further, the removal restricting wall portion 95d provided in the insertion portion 95a of the relay board cover 95 abuts at least a part of the insertion end portion of the relay board base 93, so that it is inserted into the insertion portion 95a of the relay board cover 95. The relay board base 93 cannot be advanced and removed in the insertion direction, and the relay board base 93 cannot be returned to the direction opposite to the insertion direction by the locking portion 93c and the locked portion 95c. Therefore, unauthorized removal of the relay board cover 95 from the relay board base 93 can be reduced.

  In addition, a transparent game board 30 in which a game area 30a into which a game ball is to be placed is formed on the front side, a start prize device 33 that is arranged in the game area 30a and can win a game ball, and a start prize apparatus 33 The operating port switch 224 for detecting the winning of a game ball and the relay board base 93 include a first through hole 93e into which the operating port switch 224 is inserted at a predetermined position in the hollow space portion 93a when the opening is viewed from the front. The large winning opening relay terminal board 91 has an operation port switch 224 inserted into the first through hole 93e at a position corresponding to the first through hole 93e in a state of being accommodated in the hollow space 93a of the relay board base 93. A second through hole 91e to be inserted is provided. Therefore, the relay board component 90 through which the operation port switch 224 is penetrated can be realized, and the operation port switch 224 can be attached or replaced without removing the relay board component 90. In addition, since the start winning device 33 is a component related to the profit for the player, when the relay board component 90 is disposed behind the start winning device 33, the relay board base 93 and the big prize opening are provided. Although there is a concern about an illegal act of secretly placing an illegal board between the relay terminal board 91 and the relay board base 90, the relay board component 90 is caulked to the relay board base 93. It is possible to reduce the secret arrangement of an unauthorized substrate between the winning opening relay terminal substrate 91.

  Also, a collective passage board 60 that is disposed on the back surface of the transparent game board 30 and collects and discharges game balls from the transparent game board 30, and a collective passage board 60 that guides the game balls won in the start winning device 33. The first start port passage component 86 disposed at the position on the front side of the first and the first start port passage component 86 are disposed at the disposition position of the collective passage board 60 in a supported state. A starting port passage supporting component 87 having a screw hole 87a formed at a position facing the arrangement position, and a through hole 84 into which the screw is inserted, formed at the arrangement position of the collective passage board 60; The relay board base 93 is attached to a position corresponding to the arrangement position on the back surface of the collective passage board 60, and the screw insertion hole 93d is formed at a position corresponding to the through hole 84 in the hollow space 93a when the opening is viewed from the front. And is inserted into the screw insertion hole 93d and the through hole 84. By screwing the screw into the screw hole 87a of the start port passage supporting component 87, the start port passage supporting component 87 is fixed at the position where the collective passage board 60 is disposed, and the relay substrate base 93 is fixed to the collective passage. The back surface of the board 60 is fixed at a position corresponding to the arrangement position. Therefore, the start port passage support component 87 that supports the first start port passage component 86 is a large winning port relay terminal board at the recess formation portion of the relay board base 93 of the relay board component 90 on the back surface of the collective passage board 60. 91 is fixed with a screw hidden underneath, and since the caulking of the relay board component 90 is released and the jackpot relay terminal board 91 is not removed from the relay board base 93, the screw cannot be accessed. It is possible to reduce the unauthorized removal of the first start-port passage component 86 supported by the start-port passage support component 87, and between the back surface of the collective passage board 60 and the relay substrate base 93, or to the relay substrate base 93. It is possible to reduce the secret provision of an illegal substrate between the terminal and the special winning opening relay terminal substrate 91.

  Also, a transparent game board 30 in which a game area 30a into which game balls are to be placed is formed on the front side, and a passage for collecting and discharging game balls from the transparent game board 30 provided on the back side of the transparent game board 30.

The collective passage board 60 includes a main part 60A that can be attached to the back surface of the transparent gaming board 30. The general prize opening through hole 56, the starting prize device through hole 57, and the variable prize device through hole 58 are formed. , Transparent game board 30 And a general prize opening passage part 70 that can be attached to the main body part 60A for guiding the game balls. The main body part 60A includes a discharge opening 61 for discharging the game balls, and a general prize opening passage part. The game ball guided by 70 has a mounted portion 63 to which the general prize opening passage component 70 is detachably mounted in a posture in which the game ball is discharged from the discharge port 61, and a mounted portion 63. A general winning opening passage part 70 is provided with an allowable space forming wall portion 62 that forms an allowable space 62a that is attachable and has a passage shape different from that of the passage. An attachment portion 71 for detachably attaching to the attached portion 63 of the component 60A is provided.

  Therefore, for example, by attaching the new model general prize opening passage part 70 to the allowable space 62a of the main body part 60A, the collective passage board 60 for the new model can be formed. As a common part, it can be used for different types of gaming machines, and even for different types of gaming machines, the main body part 60A of the collective passage board 60 can be manufactured with the same mold. That is, the main body part 60A of the collective passage board 60 may be manufactured with the mold for the main body part 60A regardless of whether or not the model is changed, and it is not necessary to remake the mold even if the model is changed. The cost of the main body part 60A accompanying the model change can be reduced. In addition, what is remanufactured by changing the model is not the main body part 60A of the collective passage board 60, but a small general prize opening passage part 70 in the collective passage board 60. Since the mold is also small, it is only necessary to produce a small mold for the general prize opening passage component 70 in accordance with the model change, and not to produce a large mold for the main body component 60A of the collective passage board 60. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the mold of the collective passage board 60 accompanying the model change can be reduced. In particular, even when a small number of types of gaming machines are produced, it can be dealt with at low cost and at a low cost. As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine equipped with a collective passage board 60 (a winning ball collective passage component) that can cope with model changes at low cost.

  Further, since the main body part 60A and the general winning opening passage part 70 are resin molded parts, the main body part 60A of the collective passage board 60 has a resin molding die for the main body part 60A regardless of whether or not the model is changed. Since it is not necessary to remake the mold even if the model is changed, the cost of the main body part 60A accompanying the model change can be reduced. In addition, what is remanufactured by the model change is not the main body part 60A of the collective passage board 60 but the small general prize opening passage part 70 in the collective passage board 60. Since the resin molding die is also small, it is only necessary to produce a small die for the general prize opening passage component 70 in accordance with the model change, and a die for the large body component 60A of the collective passage board 60 is produced. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the mold of the collective passage board 60 accompanying the model change can be reduced. In particular, even when a small number of types of gaming machines are produced, it can be dealt with at low cost and at a low cost. As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine equipped with a collective passage board 60 (a winning ball collective passage component) that can cope with model changes at low cost.

  Further, when the main body component 60A is viewed from the side facing the transparent game board 30, at least a part of the peripheral portion of the main body part 60A is in contact with or close to the back surface of the transparent game board 30. Since the extended allowable space forming wall portion 62 is provided, when the main body component 60A is attached to the back surface of the transparent gaming board 30, the allowable space forming wall portion 62 of the main body component 60A and the transparent gaming board 30 It is difficult to insert a fraudulent board or the like between the rear surface and the illegal provision of a fraudulent board or the like on the side facing the transparent game board 30 in the main body component 60A.

Therefore, for example, by attaching a new type of magnetic detection sensor holder 68 to the main body part 60A, it is possible to form the collective passage board 60 including the magnetic detection sensor 67 for the new model. Can be used as a common part for different types of gaming machines, and even for different types of gaming machines, the main body part 60A of the collective passage board 60 can be manufactured with the same mold. That is, the main body part 60A of the collective passage board 60 may be manufactured with the mold for the main body part 60A regardless of whether or not the model is changed, and it is not necessary to remake the mold even if the model is changed. The cost of the main body part 60A accompanying the model change can be reduced. In addition, what is remanufactured by changing the model is not the main part 60A of the collective passage board 60 but the small magnetic detection sensor holder 68 in the collective passage board 60, and the mold for the magnetic detection sensor holder 68 is also small. Therefore, it is only necessary to manufacture a small mold for the magnetic sensor holder 68 according to the model change, and not to manufacture a large mold for the main body part 60A of the collective passage board 60. The manufacturing cost of the mold of the associated passage board 60 can be reduced. In particular, even when a small number of types of gaming machines are produced, it can be dealt with at low cost and at a low cost. As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine equipped with a collective passage board 60 (a winning ball collective passage component) that can cope with model changes at low cost.

  In addition, at least a part of the general prize opening passage component 70 is seen at a part of the peripheral portion of the transparent gaming board 30 in a state where the side facing the transparent gaming board 30 of the main body part 60A is viewed. Since it is provided so as to be in contact with or close to the back surface, the general prize opening passage part 70 itself can also function as the allowable space forming wall part 62 (periphery wall part) of the main part 60A. It is difficult to insert a fraudulent board or the like between the 60A general winning opening passage component 70 and the back surface of the transparent gaming board 30, and a fraudulent board or the like is placed on the side facing the transparent gaming board 30 in the main body part 60A. Improper provision can be reduced.

The LED 151 is mounted at a location other than the location to which the passage part 70 corresponds.

  Therefore, the arrangement portion 140 is provided on the back side of the main body part 60A of the collective passage board 60 at a part including a part on the back side of the part where the general winning opening passage part 70 of the main body part 60A exists. The LED board 150 is attachable to the placement portion 140 of the main body part 60A, has the same shape as the placement portion 140, and is in the state of being placed in the placement portion 140, the general winning opening passage. Since the LED 151 is mounted at a location other than the location to which the component 70 corresponds (the location where the general prize opening passage component 70 is projected in parallel on the LED substrate 150), the LED substrate 150 is mounted on the back side of the main body component 60A. Since the shape can be the same as that of the placement portion 140, it is not necessary to have a shape that can be placed at a position that avoids the general prize opening passage component 70 in the collective passage board 60. It does not become a distorted shape, size of the light emitting portion mounting substrate does not become a plurality required by subdivision. In addition, the assembly passage board 60 is provided with the arrangement portion 140 on the back side rather than the front side having the general prize opening passage part 70, and therefore the arrangement position of the mounting boss for attaching the LED board 150. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider the position where the general winning opening part 70 is avoided.

  Even if there is a model change of the gaming machine and the shape of the general prize opening passage part 70 on the front side of the collective passage board 60 is changed, the arrangement portion 140 and the LED board on the back side of the collective passage board 60 are changed. The shape of 150 can be maintained as it is, and it can be supported by a design change in which the mounting position of the LED 151 on the LED board 150 is changed to a position that avoids the passage part 70 for the general prize opening. The burden of 150 design changes can be reduced.

  As a result, it is possible to provide a gaming machine that can reduce the design change burden associated with the change of the gaming machine model for the collecting passage board 60 (winning ball collecting passage component) provided with the LED board 150 (LED mounting board).

  Moreover, since the arrangement | positioning part 140 and the LED board 150 are the shapes made common with the game machine of another model, the shape (especially the shape of the arrangement | positioning part 140 and LED board 150 of the main body component 60A of the collective path board 60 is carried out. In other words, the outline) can be left as it is even if the model is changed, and the design change (circuit pattern of the circuit pattern) is changed so that the mounting position of the LED 151 on the LED board 150 is changed to a position that avoids the general winning opening passage part 70. Design change), and the burden of design change of the collective passage board 60 and the LED board 150 accompanying the model change can be reduced.

  In addition, the left cover component 161 and the right cover component 162 are attached to the placement portion 140 so as to cover the LED substrate 150 attached to the placement portion 140. Since the left cover component 161 and the right cover component 162 have a flat outer surface that is opposite to the side facing the substrate surface of the LED board 150, the wiring of the gaming machine is connected to the left cover component 161 and the right cover. It is possible to reduce catching on the outer surface of the component 162. Further, a spacer member can be disposed on the flat surfaces of the left cover component 161 and the right cover component 162, and the empty space outside the flat surfaces of the left cover component 161 and the right cover component 162 is illegally used (empty It is possible to reduce the provision of an illegal substrate in the space. Moreover, since the thickness position of the arrangement | positioning part 140 in main body component 60A is unified in the game machine of another model, the same spacer can be used and it can eliminate preparing the spacer for every model. .

  In addition, the main body component 60 </ b> A is a prize port switch that detects passage of a game ball that has won the general prize opening 31 at a predetermined position in an adjacent area 141 adjacent to the arrangement part 140 when the arrangement part 140 is viewed. 221 is provided. In addition, the main body component 60 </ b> A is formed with an outer peripheral wall portion 143 that protrudes from a portion around the entire portion of the portion to be disposed 140 and the adjacent region 141 when the portion to be disposed 140 is viewed. Since the left cover part 161 and the right cover part 162 are attached to the main body part 60A in a state of being fitted in the outer peripheral wall part 143 of the entire area composed of the disposed part 140 and the adjacent area 141 of the main body part 60A, The LED board 150 and the winning hole switch 221 can be covered with the left cover part 161 and the right cover part 162, and the boundary shape between the main body part 60A and the left cover part 161 and the right cover part 162 is L-shaped in a cross-sectional view. It can be shaped, and an unauthorized thin member is inserted into the gap between the main body part 60A and the left cover part 161 and the right cover part 162 to attempt to open the left cover part 161 and the right cover part 162 illegally. Can be reduced.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may have another configuration that exhibits the same effect. For example, the present invention can be modified as follows.

  <1> As shown in FIG. 34, the back surface of the transparent gaming board 30 is decorated at a place other than the place where the general winning opening passage part 70 is arranged in the allowance space 62a of the allowance space forming wall 62 of the embodiment described above. The decorative part 80 (the hatched portion in FIG. 34) may be provided. As this decorative component 80, for example, a light guide member (not shown) that diffuses incident light from the back surface and emits it from the front surface (for example, a movable member movable in the front-rear direction or a non-movable member), , A three-dimensional object (not shown) that represents a character (for example, a movable object movable in the front-rear direction or a non-movable object with or without light guide).

  In this case, the decorative part 80 is provided at a place other than the place where the general winning opening passage part 70 is arranged in the permissible space 62 a of the permissible space forming wall 62 and decorates the back surface of the transparent gaming board 30. That is, the new model general prize opening passage part 70 is attached to the allowable space 62a of the main body part 60A, and the decorative part 80 is attached to a place other than the arrangement place of the general prize opening passage part 70 in the allowable space 62a. Thus, it is possible to form a collective passage board 60 for a new model equipped with a general prize opening passage part 70 and a decorative part 80 for a new model, and the main body part 60A of the collective path board 60 is a different model as a common part.
