At this time, as shown in FIG. 21, the ball receiving portion 136 of the special winning device 62 faces the protective wall portion 290 in an aligned state, and the protective wall portion 290 surrounds the ball receiving portion 136. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the falling space C is surrounded from the rear side by the protective portion 292 including the device accommodating portion 230 and the protective wall portion 290. The wires 114X, 120X, and 124X led out from the rear portion of the start winning device 58 are drawn out below the box-shaped member 20 through the start wire recess 288. The wiring 120X of the first solenoid 120 is connected to the first lower relay board 294, and the wirings 114X and 120X of the upper and lower ball detection sensors 114 and 124 are connected to the control device, respectively. At this time, the wirings 114X, 120X, and 124X derived from the start winning device 58 are inserted through the starting wiring recesses 288 different from the ball passage opening 276, so that the wirings 114X, 120X, and 124X enter the fall space C. There is no.

  Further, since the fall space C is surrounded by the protection portion 292, when the wirings 114X, 120X, and 124X drawn out from the starting wiring recess 288 are routed, the wirings 114X, 120X, and 124X are brought into the fall space C. Intrusion is prevented. In addition, since the lower end portion of the protective wall portion 290 is located below the upper end portion of the ball receiving portion 136, it is further difficult for the wirings 114X, 120X, and 124X to enter from the gap between the ball passage opening 276 and the ball receiving portion 136. obtain. Further, since the protection wall portion 290 protects the ball receiving portion 136 so as to surround it, the wirings 114X, 120X, and 124X are not only from the rear side but also to the side with respect to the gap between the lower partition wall 252 and the ball receiving portion 136. It can suppress entering from. Further, since the protruding piece 252a of the lower partition wall 252 extends along the slope portion of the ball receiving portion 136, the gap between the ball passage port 276 and the ball receiving portion 136 is reduced, and the wiring 114X extends from the gap. , 120X, 124X are prevented from entering. Note that the wiring 134 </ b> X led out from the rear part of the special winning device 62 is drawn out to the rear of the box-shaped member 20 through the lower housing space 262. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 14, in a state where the starter main body 84 is housed in the device housing portion 230, the drop restricting portion 270 extends along the left side wall portion 94 of the upper spherical passage 86, and The ball restricting piece 272 is located slightly upward from the upper end of the left side wall portion 94.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the wirings 156X and 158X of the general winning device 76 led out from the wiring lead-out port 160 are routed to the concave portion 222 of the left peripheral wall portion 188 to the right, and the concave portion 222 It is pulled out to the outside of the installation space 168 through 222. That is, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, the wirings 156X and 158X facing the installation space 168 are drawn out to the rear side of the box-shaped member 20 through the recess 222, so that the insertion holes provided in the facing surface portion 162 and the like Compared with a configuration in which the wirings 156X and 158 are inserted, wiring processing is facilitated. Further, since the concave portion 222 is formed in a portion including the closest portion B in the left peripheral wall portion 188, the distance by which the wirings 156X and 158X of the general winning device 76 are routed in the installation space 168 is made as short as possible. Can do. That is, wiring processing in the installation space 168 is facilitated, and workability when the box-shaped member 20 is attached to the game board 14 is improved. In addition, since the distance between the wirings 156X and 158X routed in the installation space 168 is shortened, the risk that the wirings 156X and 158X interfere with various parts such as the effect devices 170 and 172 facing the installation space 168 is reduced. Is possible.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the wirings 156X and 158X drawn out from the recess 222 to the outside of the installation space 168 are engaged with the wiring hooks 224 and are routed rearward along the left peripheral wall portion 188. That is, since the wirings 156X and 158X drawn out from the recess 222 are held by the wiring hooks 224, the wirings 156X and 158X can be prevented from being bent and jumping out of the box-shaped member 20. Thereby, at the time of maintenance such as cleaning of the game board 14 and the box-shaped member 20, it is difficult for the operator to be caught by the wirings 156X and 158X, and it is possible to suppress the work efficiency from being lowered or the disconnection from occurring. The wires 156X and 158X drawn to the rear of the box-shaped member 20 along the left peripheral wall portion 188 are locked to the variable portion 356 of the variable locking portion 352, and as shown in FIG. The rear surface (lower facing surface portion 178) is guided leftward and connected to the second lower relay substrate 296. In this way, since the wirings 156X and 158X are further held by the variable locking portion 352 between the wiring hook 224 and the second lower relay board 296, the wirings 156X and 158X are more reliably held. The bending of the wirings 156X and 158X can be effectively prevented. In addition, since the variable portion 356 of the variable locking portion 352 is configured to be flexible and deformable, the shape of the variable portion 356 can be appropriately deformed according to the number of wirings 156X and 158X and the routing manner, and the wiring 156X. , 158X can be securely held. Since the fall space C is protected by the protection unit 292, the wires 156X and 158X are prevented from entering the fall space C when the wires 156X and 158X are routed toward the second lower relay board 296.

Therefore, even if an unauthorized instrument (not shown) is installed in the wiring 114X, 120X, 124X or the starting wiring recess 288 of the start winning device 58, the wiring in which the unauthorized instrument is guided by the wiring guide path E is provided. It is possible to prevent hiding with 204X. In addition, as described above, since the fall space C is surrounded from the rear side by the protection portion 292 of the box-shaped member 20, the wiring 204X drawn out from the wiring guide path E is prevented from entering the fall space C. The

  In a state where the wiring 204X is guided along the wiring guide path E, the substrate installation member 306 is attached to the installation portion attachment surface 304, and the third lower relay substrate 298 is disposed on the installation surface 318 of the substrate installation member 306. That is, the third lower relay board 298 is disposed so as to be separated from the installation part mounting surface 304 from which the gaming machine components such as the magnetic sensor 240 protrude rearward, and the third lower relay board 298 (installation surface 318) and A substrate back space D is defined between the installation portion mounting surfaces 304. When the board installation member 306 is attached to the installation part attachment surface 304, the wiring 204X guided along the wiring guide path E is pressed from behind by the installation surface 318. As described above, in the embodiment, since the board installation member 306 can be attached to the installation part attachment surface 304 while the wiring 204X is held by the wiring guide path E, the installation work of the board installation member 306 can be performed efficiently. . In the embodiment, since the outlet 316 of the wiring guide path E is open in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the wiring guide path E, the wiring guide path E does not penetrate linearly from side to side. It is like that. Therefore, it is difficult to perform an illegal act on the wiring guide path E by inserting a wire or the like from both sides of the inlet 314 and the outlet 316.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the substrate installation member 306 is attached to the installation portion attachment surface 304, a plurality of restricting projections 348 face the lower space d1 of the substrate back space D, and the lower space d1 passes through the plurality of lower spaces d1. Divide into division spaces d3. In other words, the plurality of restricting protrusions 348 allow the unauthorized component F to be installed from the lower space d1, but there is no space, and it is impossible to install the unauthorized component F in the lower space d1. Further, the partition wall 308 divides the substrate back space D into upper and lower spaces, and the upper space d2 is a divided space d3 in which the unauthorized component F cannot be installed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, the upper space d2 (wiring guide path E) is filled with the wiring 204X by extending a plurality of wirings 204X, so that the upper space d2 ( It is possible to prevent the unauthorized parts F from being installed in the wiring guide path E).

  As shown in FIG. 21, when the board installation member 306 is attached to the installation part attachment surface 304, the board back space D includes the left and right regulation wall parts 334 and 330, the lower regulation wall part 332, the guide wall 312, and the vertical partition part. Surrounded by 310. That is, by enclosing the substrate back space D from above, below, right and left by these walls 334, 330, 332, 312, 310, the unauthorized component F is prevented from entering the substrate back space D.

The pachinko ball S launched into the game area 50 comes into contact with a game nail or the like provided on the game board 14 and flows down while changing the flow direction. When the pachinko ball S wins the upper start opening 54 of the start winning device 58, the pachinko ball S rolls backward through the upper ball passage 86 through the bowl-shaped portion 90. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the pachinko sphere S rolls straight back in the first passage 106 of the upper sphere passage 86, and is then guided to the left by the inclined guide portion 104 to move to the second passage 108. . At this time, the pachinko sphere S is guided to the left side wall 94 side by the inclined guide portion 104, so that the pachinko sphere S may get over the left side wall 94 depending on the momentum of the pachinko sphere S. However, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment, since the drop restricting portion 270 extends along the left side wall portion 94, even if the pachinko ball S tries to get over the left side wall portion 94, the ball restricting piece 272 is the pachinko ball. The pachinko ball S is prevented from falling from the upper ball passage 86 in contact with S. Moreover, since the ball restricting piece 272 is separated from the upper end portion of the left wall portion 94 by a distance smaller than the diameter of the pachinko ball S, the pachinko ball S falls between the ball restricting piece 272 and the left wall portion 94. There is no. In the embodiment, a relief recess 98 is provided in the left side wall portion 94, the vertical height of the portion is low, and the pachinko ball S tends to fall easily. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the drop restricting portion 270 is extended so as to face the relief recess 98 of the left side wall portion 94 to prevent the pachinko ball S from getting over the portion.

  The pachinko ball S that has rolled backward in the upper sphere passage 86 is discharged downward from the upper sphere passage 86 through the upper sphere discharge port 112 and passes through the detection unit 114a of the upper sphere detection sensor 114. Then, the upper ball detection sensor 114 detects the pachinko ball S, and the special symbol display device 18 starts a symbol variation effect, and a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. Then, the pachinko sphere S that has passed the detection unit 114a of the upper sphere detection sensor 114 falls on the sphere discharge path 118 (fall space C) between the two extension pieces 116 and 116 and passes through the sphere passage port 276. The ball receiving unit 136 of the special winning device 62 receives the ball. Here, as described above, the entry of the wires 114X, 120X, 124X, 134X, 156X, 158X, and 204X into the fall space C is restricted by the protection unit 292, so that the pachinko that falls in the fall space C falls. The sphere S does not contact the wirings 114X, 120X, 124X, 134X, 156X, 158X, 204X

  That is, it is possible to prevent the wiring 114X, 120X, 124X, 134X, 156X, 158X, and 204X from interfering with the pachinko ball S falling in the fall space C, and to reliably receive the pachinko ball S by the ball receiving portion 136. It becomes. In addition, it is possible to suitably prevent the pachinko ball S from being caught by the wirings 114X, 120X, 124X, 134X, 156X, 158X, and 204X that have entered the fall space C and causing the ball clogging. When the pachinko ball S comes into contact with the ball guide portion 286 provided on the upper surface of the lower partition 252, the pachinko ball S is guided toward the ball passage port 276 by the ball guide portion 286. That is, the ball guide portions 286 are provided at the corners of the lower partition wall 252 and the rear protection surface 258 to prevent the pachinko balls S from staying at the corners.
