  Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The game board 30 includes a general winning port 31, a variable winning device 32, a starting winning unit (starting port) 33, a through gate 34, a variable display device unit 35, a first special display device 43L and a second special display device 43R. A specific lamp 40, a normal symbol display device 41, a holding lamp 44, and the like are disposed in a through hole formed by router processing, and are attached from the front side of the game board 30 with wood screws or the like. As is well known, when a game ball enters (wins) various winning ports such as the general winning port 31, the variable winning device 32, the start winning unit 33, etc., it is detected by various detection switches, and is sent to the upper plate 19 (or the lower plate 15). A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. For example, when there is a ball entering the start winning unit 33, there are three balls when there is a ball entering the general winning slot 31, and when there is a ball entering the variable winning device 32. Fifteen game balls are paid out to the upper plate 19 (lower plate 15). In addition, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and the game balls that have not won the various winning ports such as the general winning port 31 are discharged out of the game area through the out port 36. . In addition, the 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 such as windmills (servants).

  The variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which no game ball can be won, and is in an open state in which a game ball can be won in a big hit state (occurrence of a special game state). Although not shown in the drawings, the variable prize winning device 32 has a large winning opening (winning opening) leading to the rear of the game board 30, a shutter (movable part) for opening and closing the large winning opening, and a shutter for operating the shutter. A prize winning solenoid (driving means) and a count switch 223 for detecting a game ball that has entered the prize winning opening are provided, and the variable prize winning device 32 ( The big prize opening) is switched between the closed state and the open state.

  The start winning unit 33 includes an upper winning opening 33a and a lower winning opening 33b, and a pair of opening and closing members 33c provided on both sides of the lower winning opening 33b. When the opening / closing member 33c opens and closes in response to the establishment of a predetermined condition, the game ball flowing down the side of the lower prize opening 33b is guided between an open state where the game ball is guided to the lower prize opening 33b and a closed state where the game ball is not guided. The state can be changed. As will be described in detail later, the start winning unit 33 includes a first start winning switch 224a and a second starting winning switch 224b for detecting game balls that have entered the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b, respectively. In addition, when a game ball is detected by the start winning switches 224a and 224b, a lottery determination to determine whether or not to generate a big hit state is performed, and special display devices 43L and 43R (and a decorative symbol display device to be described later) 42), a variation display for teaching the result of the success / failure lottery is performed. Then, when a big win is won in the winning / losing lottery, a big win state is given as a special gaming state in which the variable winning device 32 is opened.

  Further, in the present embodiment, there are a low probability state in which a jackpot is won with a predetermined probability in the success / failure lottery and a high probability state in which the jackpot is won with a higher probability than the low probability state in the winner / lottery. Further, the opening / closing member 33c is opened relatively frequently, and it is easy to allow the game ball to enter the lower winning opening 33c, and the opening / closing member 33c is hardly opened, and the game ball is moved to the lower winning opening 33b. There is a low entry state that is difficult to enter. Hereinafter, the low probability state and the low entry state are referred to as “normal mode”, and the low probability state and the high entry state are referred to as “time reduction mode”. A certain state is referred to as a “probability change mode”.

  The jackpot type of this embodiment is 15 round normal bonus (hereinafter referred to as “15RN”), 15 round super bonus (hereinafter referred to as “15RS”), and 7 round super bonus (hereinafter referred to as “7RS”). There are three types. Then, when the variable winning device 32 is opened for 30 seconds or when eight game balls enter the variable winning device 32 after the variable winning device 32 is opened, “15RN”, “ For “15RS”, it is repeated 15 times, while for “7RS” it is repeated 7 times before the jackpot state ends. Further, “probability change mode” is given after the big hit state of “15RS” and “7RS”, and “time reduction mode” is given after the big hit state of “15RN”.

  In the present embodiment, a case where a jackpot is won based on the game ball entering the top winning port 33a and a case where a jackpot is won based on the game ball entering the bottom winning port 33b, The ratio of “15RN” is the same, but the ratio of “15RS” (in other words, the ratio of “7RN”) is different.

  The first and second special display devices 43L and 43R are each constituted by a 7-segment display device of a type capable of displaying two characters (and dots), and are installed on the right side of the variable winning device 32. Then, when the game ball enters the top winning port 33a of the start winning unit 33, the first special display device 43L performs switching display (variable display), and the game ball enters the lower winning port 33b. As a trigger, switching display (variation display) is performed on the second special display device 43R. Note that the display contents of the special display devices 43L and 43R are directly controlled by a main control device 261 as main control means described later.

  In addition, after the variable display is performed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R, the result of the lottery determination, that is, “big hit” or “off”, depending on the display mode when the variable display stops. It is definitely displayed that there is. For example, when a game ball wins the top winning opening 33a, the lighting mode (combination of segments to be lit) is switched and displayed (variable display, for example, every 4 msec) on the corresponding first special display device 43L. When a predetermined time has elapsed, one of the lighting modes is stopped and displayed (for example, stopped for several seconds). Then, when “big hit” is won in the winning / losing lottery, the corresponding lighting mode is displayed when the fluctuation is stopped, and a big hit state occurs.

  Furthermore, in the special display devices 43L and 43R, not only is it taught that the “big hit” has been won, but the type of the big hit state, ie, “15RN”, “15RS”, or “7RS”. Is also taught. For example, when “7.7.” Is finally displayed (stopped) on the first special display device 43L (or the second special display device 43R), “15RS” is assigned, and “n. When “0.” is displayed, “15RN” is assigned. In addition, there are a plurality of stop modes of the special display devices 43L and 43R that teach one jackpot type instead of one. For example, when “15RS” occurs, the first special display device 43L (or the second special display device) 43R), any one of “7.7.”, “P.b”, “5.L.”, “A.3”... Is selected and stopped. In addition, when either the first special display device 43L or the second special display device 43R is performing variable display or determination display, the other is turned off ("-" is displayed). However, if neither the change display nor the determination display is performed in either case, “-” is displayed in both cases.

  In addition, when a game ball newly wins the start winning unit 33 during the variation display of the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, the corresponding variation display is performed at that time. It is the structure performed after the end of. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of the variable display to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in the present embodiment, it corresponds to the game ball won in the top winning port 33a and the game ball won in the lower winning port 33b. Then, the variation display up to four times (total eight variation display) is put on hold.

  In addition, the number of times of holding is turned on and displayed by a holding lamp 46 provided in the variable display device unit 35. The display content of the hold lamp 46 is controlled by a sub-control device 262 as sub-control means described later. If a new game ball wins the start winning unit 33 during the big hit state, the corresponding change display is also suspended. Further, a variation display based on the game ball entering the top winning opening 33a (hereinafter referred to as “first variation display”) and a variation display based on the game ball entering the bottom winning opening 33b (hereinafter referred to as “ When the second change display is suspended, the second change display is preferentially digested (first) over the first change display.

  Eight hold lamps 46 are provided, which is the same as the sum of the maximum hold numbers of the first change display and the second change display, and is the same as the number of change displays being held (in order from the left). Light.

  The variation specifying lamp 40 is provided below the special display devices 43L and 43R, and the variation display performed by the decorative symbol display device 42 is displayed on any of the top winning port 33a and the lower winning port 33b. Indicates whether it corresponds. Furthermore, the fluctuation specifying lamp 40 includes an LED having a blue emission color and an LED having a red emission color, and the decorative pattern display device 42 displays a first fluctuation display triggered by entering the top winning opening 33a. When it is being performed, it emits blue light, and when the second variation display is triggered by entering the lower prize opening 33b, it emits red light.

  The through gate 34 is configured such that game balls flowing down the game area can pass one by one. As will be described in detail later, the through gate 34 includes a through gate switch 225 that can detect a game ball passing through the through gate 34. When the game ball is detected by the through gate switch 225, the through gate 34 is started. A ball-entry assist lottery for determining whether or not the winning unit 33 is to be opened is performed. Then, when winning in the winning assist lottery, the lower winning opening 33b (opening / closing member 33c) of the start winning unit 33 is opened for a specified time.

  In the normal symbol display device 41, a variable display for teaching the result of the entrance assist lottery is performed. More specifically, the normal symbol display device 41 is configured to be able to turn on and display “O” and “X” as normal symbols, and each time a game ball passes through the through gate 34, for example, the normal symbol “ Switch display (fluctuation display) at high speed, such as “○” → “×” → “○” →. Then, when the change display is stopped for several seconds with the “◯” symbol (winning symbol), the start winning unit 33 (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for a predetermined time. The display contents of the normal symbol display device 41 are directly controlled by a main control device 261 described later.

  In addition, when a game ball newly passes through the through gate 34 during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display device 41, the corresponding fluctuation display is performed after the end of the fluctuation display at that time. It has become. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of the variable display to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in this embodiment, it is held up to 4 times, and the hold number is lit and displayed by the hold lamp 44. Yes.

  In addition, the variable display device unit 35 is provided with a decorative symbol display device 42 that performs variable display in accordance with the variable display by the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. The decorative symbol display device 42 is configured as a liquid crystal display device, and display contents are controlled by a sub-control device 262 and a display control device 45 described later. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 42, the sub-control device 262 supports the auxiliary design based on the command from the main control device 261 so as to correspond to the results displayed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. Display content is determined, and display control is performed by the display control device 45 based on the determination.

  The decorative symbol display device 42 is provided with, for example, three symbol display areas, upper, middle, and lower, and a plurality of types of symbols (for example, symbols numbered 1 to 9) are sequentially displayed in each symbol display area. After that, the symbols are stopped and displayed in order for each symbol display area (for example, in the order of the upper symbol display area → the lower symbol display area → the middle symbol display area). For example, when the jackpot is determined by the main control device 261, a display corresponding to the jackpot is made on the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, and the symbol corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42. In combination, the symbols are stopped and displayed (for example, the symbols that are stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display region, the middle symbol display region, and the lower symbol display region are the same), and the big hit state is started.

  Further, when symbols are stopped and displayed in combinations corresponding to jackpots, the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area, for example, as a preceding stage. In this way, the state where the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area and the variable display is still being performed in the middle symbol display area is the reach state.

  In the present embodiment, after the reach state occurs, in the middle symbol display area, when the same symbol as the symbol (reach symbol) that is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area is stopped and displayed (Zero eyes The jackpot state is given to the display when the display is stopped. Further, in the case of an odd number of eyes, “15RS” or “7RS” to which a probability variation mode is given after the end of the jackpot state is given, and in the case of an even number of eyes, “15RN”, “15RS”, Either “7RS” is given. In addition, the combination of symbols other than the doublet basically teaches “displacement”.

  The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 so as to surround the decorative symbol display device 42. A ball entrance 151 is provided in the upper portion of the center frame 47, and a game ball that has entered the ball entrance 151 is formed inside the center frame 47 along the side of the decorative symbol display device 42. It is guided on a stage 153 formed below the decorative symbol display device 42 via a warp channel 152 extending vertically. The game ball guided on the stage 153 falls from the stage 153 to the front game area, or rolls on the stage 153 and then enters the pocket 154 formed at the center back side of the stage 153. . The pocket 154 communicates with a guide passage 155 that leads to a game area directly above the start winning unit 33 (upward winning opening 33a), and a game ball that has entered the pocket 154 has a relatively high probability. The start winning unit 33 (upward winning opening 33a) is entered.

  The game board 30 includes an inner rail component 51 and an outer rail component 52, and a rail 50 that guides a game ball launched from the launch device 60 to the upper part of the game board 30 is attached. As a result, the game balls fired in accordance with the turning operation of the handle 18 are guided through the launch rail 61 and the rail 50 into a game area formed between the game board 30 and the glass unit 137.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail constituting portion 51 (the upper left portion in FIG. 4). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the rail 50 to the game area returns to the rail 50 again. Further, a return rubber 54 is attached to a substantially distal end portion (upper right portion in FIG. 4) of the outer rail constituting portion 52. The game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and is returned to, for example, the substantially central portion of the game board 30.

  In the present embodiment, the outer rail component 52 is interrupted at the upper right portion of the game board 30, and the inner rail component 51 is interrupted at the lower right portion of the game board 30. For this reason, the game area is defined by the inner peripheral surface of the rail 50 and the window hole 39 of the resin base 38. However, since the game ball launched by the launching device 60 may flow backward through the rail 50 until it passes through the return ball prevention member 53, the parallel portions of the inner and outer rail constituting portions 51 and 52 are excluded from the game area. It is burned.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a ball passage unit 70 is provided on the back side of the front frame set 14 below the window portion 101. The ball passage unit 70 includes a lower plate communication passage 71 connected from a payout mechanism portion 352 described later to the discharge port 16 of the lower plate 15, and an upper plate communication passage 73 connected from the payout mechanism portion 352 to the upper plate 19. In addition, there is a predetermined gap between the firing rail 61 provided on the front side of the inner frame 12 and the rail unit 50 (outer rail constituting portion 52), and the ball path unit 70 of the front frame set 14 includes A foul ball passage 72 is formed to guide the game ball dropped from the gap to the lower plate 15.

  As described above in detail, according to the first embodiment, the through hole 408 formed in the central electrical decoration substrate 411 is closed by the closing material 427 with respect to the electrical decoration unit 401 provided on the upper portion of the center frame 47. Yes. For this reason, the light of the LED 423 of the side electric decoration board 421 is emitted behind the central electric decoration board 411 without partitioning the central electric decoration board 411 and the side electric decoration board 421 with a light-shielding material. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the light passes forward through the through hole 408 of the central illumination board 411. For this reason, the light of the LED 423 of the side lighting board 421 is transmitted forward through the through hole 408 of the central lighting board 411 even though the three-color LED 413 of the central lighting board 411 is not emitting light. Thus, it is possible to avoid a situation where the light emitting area (the central lamp unit 402) that appears to emit light when the three-color LED 413 of the central illumination board 411 emits light emits light and appears. Accordingly, the appearance of the three-color LED 413 on the central illumination board 411 is clearly switched between the non-light-emitting state and the light-emitting state, while simplifying the configuration and improving the degree of freedom of design. It is possible to derive the mode of light (production, etc.).

  In particular, in this embodiment, it is taught that a big hit state is generated for a player or the like when the three-color LED 413 of the central illumination board 411 emits light, so the through hole 408 of the central illumination board 411 is formed. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a player or the like misrecognizes that a big hit state occurs due to the fact that the light of the LED 423 of the side illumination board 421 is transmitted forward. . Therefore, it is not clear whether or not the central illumination board 411 emits light, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player or the like feels uncomfortable or uneasy and cannot concentrate on the game. it can.

In other words, the through hole 408 through which the lead 418 is inserted is basically blocked by soldering, but the soldering is not performed to cover the through hole 408, but the solder does not cover the through hole 408. Since the case where 408 is not completely covered is also considered, it is more complete to separately cover with occluding material 427.

  Further, a blocking material 427 that closes the through hole 408 is provided on the rear surface side of the central electric decoration substrate 411. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the design property of the electric decoration unit 401 is deteriorated, for example, the blocking material 427 is visually recognized or a shadow is generated by the blocking material 427. Further, the closing material 427 is made of an insulator. For this reason, for example, when the plugging material protrudes from a desired installation area (corresponding land) as in the case where the plugging material has conductivity, the plugging material does not conduct electricity. A situation in which good conductive patterns are electrically connected can be avoided.

However, the through hole 408 is not blocked by the closing material 427. May be. That is, it is not necessary to close the through hole 408 with the closing material 427 by performing the soldering so that the through hole 408 is closed. Further, in this case, after forming the printed wiring board (conductive pattern) of the central illumination board 411 and before mounting the electronic component, through holes 408 other than the through hole 408 through which the electronic component lead 418 is inserted. (Collectively), the workability is improved because it is not necessary to perform the process of plugging the through holes 408 through which the electronic component leads 418 are inserted with the plugging material 427. Is planned.

  In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the through hole 408 is blocked by the closing material 427 directly attached to the central illumination board 411. However, the through hole 408 is directly attached to the peripheral part of the through hole 408 of the central illumination board 411. For example, a closing member (for example, an opaque plate-like body or another substrate, which is disposed so as to cover at least a portion where the through hole 408 is provided in the rear surface of the central electric decoration substrate 411 is used. The through hole 408 may be closed by the above. In addition, from the viewpoint of suppressing the passage of light to the through hole 408, the closing member is preferably disposed close to or in contact with the central electrical decoration substrate 411. It is preferable that the decorative substrate 411 is made of an insulator so that a circuit that is not desired to be electrically connected does not pass through the closing member. Further, the closing member may be supported by a member other than the central illumination board 411, or may be configured to be engaged with the central illumination board 411 with a locking means or the like.

  It should be noted that the shape of the lighting unit 401 and the like, the arrangement and number of the three-color LEDs 413 as lighting means, the number of the wiring layers 406 of the central lighting board 411 and the side lighting board 421, etc. are not particularly limited. And can be changed as appropriate. In addition, even if the through hole 408 is not the through hole 408, when the through hole penetrating the central electrical decoration substrate 411 is formed, the through hole is closed with the closing material 427.

  (B) In the first embodiment, before forming (etching) the conductive pattern on the surface of the central illumination board 411, a through hole for the through hole 408 is formed, and an inner peripheral surface of the through hole is formed. A through hole 408 is formed by applying conductive plating, and then a lid is formed from both the front and back sides of the central illumination board 411 so that a solution for forming a conductive pattern by the subtractive method does not enter the through hole 408. The printed wiring board of the central electric circuit board 411 is manufactured through the process of performing, and after forming the conductive pattern, it exists on both front and back sides of the central electric circuit board 411 and seals the through holes 408. The lid may be used as the closing material 427 by leaving at least one of the lids (closing members). In this case, it is not necessary to perform an operation of filling the through-hole 408 after the printed wiring board of the central illumination board 411 is formed, or to introduce a machine for automatically performing such an operation, thereby improving productivity. In addition, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  In the above embodiment, the conductive pattern may be formed by a subtractive method or an additive method. Also, the resist method is not particularly limited, and an etching resist, a solder resist, a photoresist, a screen printing resist, or the like can be appropriately selected. Furthermore, each of the electrical decoration boards 411 and 421 is configured by a four-layer board having four wiring layers 406, but the number of wiring layers 406 is not limited and may be three or less. And it may be four or more layers.

  (C) In the first embodiment, in order to electrically connect the wiring layers 406, the through holes 408 penetrating all the layers of the central illumination board 411 are provided.

The wiring layer 406 may be electrically connected only by the via 481 or the buried via 482 that electrically connects the inner layer and the inner layer.

  Further, by adopting such a configuration, it is possible to shift the positions of the holes of each insulating layer 405 (one and none overlap). In this case, the light of the LED 423 of the side illumination board 421 is transmitted to the central electric circuit. It is possible to suppress a situation where light passes through the hole formed in the decorative substrate 411. In particular, when the electronic component mounted on the central electrical decoration board 411 is surface-mounted rather than through-hole mounting soldered through the lead 418 to the through-hole 408, the penetration in the central electrical decoration board 411 is performed. The hole can be eliminated, and this effect is more reliably exhibited. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to close the hole (pick up the blocking material 427) in a subsequent process, workability can be improved.

  (D) Further, when the configuration of (c) is adopted, as shown in FIG. 17, rather than forming a through hole for each insulating layer 405, a plurality of insulating layers 405 are formed as shown in FIG. It is desirable to divide into two groups and connect (fix) each other to form a through hole (one set of two sheets is drilled with two sheets fixed). In this case, it is possible to reduce the number of operations for forming the through-holes and plating the inner peripheral surface of the through-holes, and align the through-holes in order to make an electrical connection between the wiring layers 406 or conductive patterns. Can be reduced, and workability can be further improved.

Various display devices such as a reel, a liquid crystal display device, and a segment display device may be employed.

  (G) In the second embodiment, the conductive path 457 is provided in the middle plate central opening 442, the front plate central opening 451, and the decorative opening 452 without the through holes of the middle electric decoration substrate 433 and the front electric decoration substrate 432. By forming them, electrical connection between the wiring layers 406 may be performed.

  In the second embodiment, a plurality of conductive paths 457 are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the central plate central opening 442. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to such a configuration, and there is only one. Also good. In addition, when a plurality of conductive paths 457 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the middle plate central opening 442, considering that the light of the three-color LED 434a of the rear decoration board 434 is reflected on the conductive paths 457, for example, Conductive paths 457 may be provided at equal positions around the center of the plate center opening 442.

  In addition, the conductive path 457 may be formed on the entire inner peripheral surface of the middle plate central opening 442 and the decorative opening 452, but the conductive path is formed on the front and back surfaces of the middle electrical decoration board 433 and the front electrical decoration board 432. In the vicinity of 457, a conductive pattern that is not electrically connected to the conductive path 457 cannot be extended close to the conductive path 457, so that space efficiency may be deteriorated. In addition, the conductive path 457 may be configured by a method in which conductive plating is applied to the entire inner peripheral surface of the middle plate central opening 442 and the decorative opening 452, and then other portions are removed while leaving a part. In addition, a conductive material such as solder may be extended only on necessary portions of the inner peripheral surface of the center plate central opening 442 and the decorative opening 452.

  (H) In the third embodiment, the three-color LEDs 465 are arranged in a well-balanced manner (one for each petal) with respect to the outer shape of the decorative accessory 463 (a flower shape having five petals), and each of the three colors The connecting portion 472 that connects the LED 465 and the line portion 471 also extends substantially symmetrically, but is not particularly limited to such a configuration.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19, a line portion 471 extends in a star shape having five corners corresponding to a star-shaped decorative accessory (not shown), and two three-color LEDs 465 are provided on the inner peripheral side thereof. When the connecting portion 472 is extended from each of the three-color LEDs 465 to the along-line portion 471, when the pair of connecting portions 472 extend away from the symmetrical position, A separate decoration pattern 485 may be extended so that the conductive pattern on the inner peripheral side extends as much as possible to a symmetrical position or a uniform position. The decoration pattern 485 may constitute a circuit together with other conductive patterns, or may be a simple decoration that is not in communication with the circuit.

  The shape of the decorative accessory 463 and the number, type, arrangement, and the like of the light emitting means (three-color LED 465) are not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate. In addition, in the third embodiment, the non-transparent portion is configured by the plated portion 464. For example, when a part of the decorative accessory 463 is configured by an opaque resin, the opaque resin is non-transparent. You may comprise so that it may correspond to a permeation | transmission part.

  In the third embodiment, the plated portion 464 is formed along the outer peripheral edge of the decorative accessory 463 when the decorative accessory 463 is viewed from the front, but is formed on the inner peripheral side of the outer peripheral edge. Also good. Furthermore, in FIG. 16 and the like, the line portion 471 is provided along almost the entire outer periphery of the decorative accessory 463 when the decorative accessory 463 is viewed from the front, but the decorative accessory 463 may be provided along a part.

However, the plated portion 464 is omitted, and along the outer peripheral edge (contour) of the decorative accessory 463 when the decorative accessory 463 is viewed from the front. A rail line portion 471 may be formed. Even in this case, the rail line portion 471 can be configured to be as inconspicuous as possible.

  Further, although not specifically mentioned in the third embodiment, the three-color LED 465 mounted on the electric decoration board 462 may be surface-mounted. In this case, a through-hole for the three-color LED 465 is not necessary, and it is possible to avoid a decrease in designability due to the through-hole being visually recognized through the decorative accessory 463.

Of the plurality of light emitting substrates, the first light emitting substrate is disposed in front of the second light emitting substrate in the predetermined direction (front side) and penetrates in the thickness direction of the first light emitting substrate. A gaming machine characterized in that a formed through hole is closed.

  According to the means A-1, the first light-emitting substrate and the second light-emitting substrate are partitioned by a light-shielding material behind the first light-emitting substrate in the predetermined direction (hereinafter simply referred to as the rear). Even if it is not, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the light of the light emitting means of the second light emitting substrate is transmitted forward (hereinafter simply referred to as the front) in the predetermined direction through the through hole of the first light emitting substrate. For this reason, even though the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate is not emitting light, the light of the light emitting means of the second light emitting substrate is transmitted forward through the through hole of the first light emitting substrate, so that the first It is possible to avoid a situation in which a light emitting area that appears to emit light when the light emitting means of the light emitting substrate emits light emits and appears. Accordingly, while the structure is simplified and the degree of freedom of design is improved, the apparent switching between the light emitting state of the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate and the non-light emitting state becomes clearer, and a clearer light emission is achieved. A mode (production etc.) can be derived.

  In particular, when the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate emits light and teaches, suggests, or informs the player that a predetermined condition is established, the configuration of the means A-1 is adopted. By doing so, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a player or the like is erroneously recognized. Therefore, it is not clear whether the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate is actually emitting light, causing the player to feel uncomfortable or uneasy, making it impossible to concentrate on the game. Such a situation can be prevented.

  In addition, the light emitting means disposed in the predetermined region is mounted separately on the first light emitting substrate and the second light emitting substrate, and the first light emitting substrate and the second light emitting substrate are arranged to be shifted back and forth, thereby A large number of light emitting means can be installed in the area, fine lighting control can be performed, and a three-dimensional feeling in the front-rear direction can be obtained, so that the design, production, heat dissipation, etc. can be improved.

  The holes formed in the thickness direction of the first light emitting substrate include not only through holes that electrically connect the wiring layers on which the inner peripheral side is subjected to conductive plating to form conductive patterns, but also the first holes. This is intended to include all through holes such as holes (with or without conductive plating) for attaching electronic components mounted on one light-emitting substrate. Further, the first light emitting substrate and the second light emitting substrate may be arranged so that at least a part thereof is opposed to the front and rear in the predetermined direction.

  Further, for example, each light-emitting substrate may be configured to be able to irradiate light from the light-emitting means forward (of the gaming machine), and the first light-emitting substrate may be disposed in front of the second light-emitting substrate. Further, for example, the light emitted from the light emitting means is emitted from the inner peripheral side (or outer peripheral side) of the frame-shaped member with respect to the frame-shaped member that is substantially frame-shaped and whose inner peripheral (or outer peripheral) region is visible to the player. The first light-emitting substrate and the second light-emitting substrate are provided so as to be able to irradiate the light-emitting element), and the first light-emitting substrate is disposed on the inner peripheral side (or outer peripheral side) of the frame-shaped member with respect to the second light-emitting substrate, The light emitting portion that appears to be lit when at least the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate emits light may be configured to be visible from a player located in front of the gaming machine. Furthermore, when the said structure is employ | adopted, the light of the light emission means of a 1st light emission board | substrate and a 2nd light emission board | substrate may be reflected ahead with a mirror etc., and you may comprise so that it can visually recognize from the player of the front.

That is, for example, in a configuration in which the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate emits light only when the special gaming state is won in the winning / losing lottery, the light emitting means of the first light emitting substrate does not emit light, but the light emitting means of the second light emitting substrate. The player has misunderstood that the first light-emitting board is emitting light because the light passes through the through hole of the first light-emitting board. It is possible to avoid situations where the player becomes suspicious and becomes suspicious and that the game itself becomes uncomfortable.

In addition, it is possible to avoid a situation where the conductive material between the conductive patterns which need not be electrically connected is electrically connected by the blocking material.

Means A-5. A through-hole penetrating in the thickness direction is formed in the precursor in a state before the conductive pattern is formed on the surface of the first light emitting substrate, and conductive plating is applied to the inner peripheral side of the through-hole.

Accordingly, there is no need to fill the through hole after the printed wiring board of the first light emitting board is formed, or to introduce a machine for automatically performing such work, thereby improving productivity and manufacturing cost. Can be reduced.

Means B-1. In a predetermined area, the light emitting means is mounted, and includes a plurality of light emitting substrates provided so as to be able to irradiate light of the light emitting means in a predetermined direction,

A situation in which light is transmitted forward through the connection hole of the first light emitting substrate can be avoided. As a result, basically the same effects as the above-described means A-1 are obtained.

Means B-2. The first light emitting substrate is composed of a multilayer substrate having three or more wiring layers on which a conductive pattern is formed,
The first light emitting substrate is not formed with a through hole that passes straight between the front surface and the back surface, and the wiring layer formed on one of the front surface and the back surface of the first light emitting substrate, The gaming machine according to means B-1, wherein blind vias are formed to connect the wiring layers sandwiched between the insulating layers of the first light emitting substrate.

The electrical connection between the wiring layers can be reliably performed. Therefore, it is not necessary to deposit resin so as to close the connection hole with respect to the first light emitting substrate, and the unevenness on the front and back surfaces of the first light emitting substrate is reduced as much as possible, and the work is simplified. Can do.

  In addition, it is good also as being comprised so that generation | occurrence | production of a special game state can be taught by the light emission mode of a 1st light emission board | substrate like said means A-2. The first light emitting substrate may be formed by a build-up method. In addition, a buried via that connects between the wiring layers sandwiched between the insulating layers of the first light emitting substrate may be formed.

Means B-3. The first light emitting substrate is composed of a multilayer substrate having four or more wiring layers on which a conductive pattern is formed,

  According to the means B-3, the electrical connection between the wiring layers can be reliably performed without forming a through hole that passes straight through the first light emitting substrate. Therefore, the same function and effect as the means 7 can be obtained. Further, in this means B-3, the first light-emitting substrate is formed, instead of stacking three or more insulating layers (and conductive patterns laid on the insulating layer one layer at a time). A plurality of insulating layers are divided into two groups (for example, if there are four insulating layers, two layers may be two layers plus two layers, or two layers may be three layers plus one layer). A through hole is formed. For this reason, in addition to reducing the number of operations for forming the through-hole (and the operation of conducting electroplating on the inner peripheral surface of the through-hole), the through-holes are aligned for electrical connection between the wiring layers. Alternatively, the work of connecting with the conductive pattern can be reduced, and the workability and the productivity can be further improved.

By adopting a configuration in which the connection hole is closed as in B-1, there is no hole penetrating in the thickness direction in the first light emitting substrate. Therefore, even if the connection hole is blocked, it is possible to avoid a situation where a work for filling the component hole penetrating the first light emitting substrate is required.

Means C-1. In a predetermined region, the light emitting means is mounted, and includes a plurality of light emitting substrates provided so as to be able to irradiate light of the light emitting means in a predetermined direction,

It can comprise so that it may play the role of the window for making it. Therefore, the light-transmitting opening can be effectively used, and the first light emitting substrate can be made compact.
