The 7th other end side connected portion 17A is a female connector, and the 7th other end side connector 27C is a male connector.

Next, currents, signals, and the like flowing through the first harness 21 to the seventh harness 27 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the first harness 21 connects the power supply unit 11 and the power supply branch board 12, and flows when the power supply current supplied to the power supply unit 11 moves to the power supply branch board 12. The second harness 22 connects the power supply branch board 12 and the game control board 13, and flows when a part of the current transferred to the power supply branch board 12 moves to the game control board 13. The third harness 23 connects the power supply branch board 12 and the effect control board 14, and flows when a part of the current transferred to the power supply branch board 12 moves to the game control board 13.

The fourth harness 24 connects the game control board 13 and the effect control board 14, and a game signal relating to the progress of the game supplied from the game control board 13 to the effect control board 14 flows. The fifth harness 25 connects the game control board 13 and the operation unit board 15, and an operation-related signal supplied from the operation unit board 15 to the game control board 13 flows. The sixth harness 26 connects the effect control board 14 and the sub-relay board 16, and the effect control signal related to the effect supplied from the effect control board 14 to the sub-relay board 16 flows. The seventh harness 27 connects the sub-relay board 16 and the under-door relay board 17, and an effect control signal relating to the effect supplied from the sub-relay board 16 to the under-door relay board 17 flows.

Next, a part of the first harness 21 to the seventh harness 27 is arranged so that the wiring hinders the operation of the push-in portion of the connector. An example thereof will be described below. As shown in FIG. 5A, the fourth other end side connector 24C of the fourth harness 24 is connected to the fourth other end side connected portion 14B of the effect control board 14. The wiring 24A is provided facing upward from the connection portion between the fourth end side connector 24B at one end of the fourth harness 24 and the fourth end side connected portion 13C of the game control board 13. The fourth (see FIG. 2) one end connected part 13C of the fourth game control board 13 to which one end side connector 24B is connected to the fourth harness 24, fourth other end connected part of the game control board 14 It is arranged at a position lower than 14C. Further, the other end side pushing portion 24I provided in the fourth other end side connector 24C of the fourth harness 24 is arranged above the fourth other end side connector 24C. The fourth one end side connector 24 B, compared connecting portion between the fourth other end connected part 14C of the fourth other end connector 24 C and gaming control board 14, is disposed the other end pushing portion 24I It is connected to a predetermined position provided in a direction different from the direction in which it is installed. Further, the wiring 24A of the fourth harness 24 guides the wiring 24A to a position that covers the other end side pushing portion 24I from the front surface (back side), which is a position that hinders the operation of the other end side pushing portion 24I of the fourth other end side connector 24C. Will be done. The "back side" here refers to the direction in which the front door 1b is closed. The right first guide member 51B guides the fourth other end side connector 24C side of the wiring 24A in the fourth harness 24 upward, and the fourth end end (fourth end side connector 24B side) of the wiring 24A is the fourth one end of the game control board 13. The side connected portion 13C is guided by folding back downward.

In this way, the wiring 24A is laid by guiding the wiring 24A of the fourth harness 24 above the fourth other end side connected portion 14B to which the fourth other end side connector 24C of the effect control board 14 is connected. 4 It is possible to guide to a position that hinders the operation of the other end side push-in portion 24I provided in the other end side connector 24C. Therefore, for example, a person who intends to cheat from the outside of the slot machine 1 (hereinafter referred to as “fraudulent person”) inserts a hand or an instrument and tries to pull out the fourth other end side connector 24C of the fourth harness 24. However, the operation of the other end side pushing portion 24I can be hindered by the wiring 24A. Therefore, fraud by fraudulent planners can be prevented.

Further, for the purpose of preventing fraud, in order to obstruct the operation of the other end side pushing portion 24I, the wiring 24A is moved upward by the right first guide member 51B (the position where the operation of the other end side pushing portion 24I is hindered). Since it is only guided to, it is possible to prevent fraud with a simple configuration. Further, the left first guide member 51A and the right first guide member 51B have an L-shape (substantially L-shape) when viewed from the front, and a support is provided on one side of the rod while the other side is open. Has been done. Therefore, the wirings 23A and 24A of the third harness 23 and the fourth harness 24 can be slid along the rod from the openings of the left first guide member 51A and the right first guide member 51B, so that the left first guide member can be slid. The third harness 23 and the fourth harness 24 can be easily hooked on the 51A and the right first guide member 51B. One or both of the left first guide member 51A and the right first guide member 51B may be provided inside the substrate case.

Further, the fourth harness 24 is a harness in which a game signal relating to the progress of the game flows through the wiring 24A from the game control board 13 to the effect control board 14. Therefore, for example, when the fourth other end side connector 24C of the fourth harness 24 is pulled out from the fourth other end side connected portion 14B, the fourth other end side connector 24C is connected to an external unauthorized device, and the first 4 There is a concern that the game signal regarding the progress of the game transmitted to the connector 24C on the other end side may be illegally obtained and the performance of the slot machine 1 (for example, information on the set value) may be stolen. In this respect, since the fourth harness 24 is prevented from being pulled out from the effect control board 14, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the performance of the slot machine 1 is stolen.

As shown in FIG. 5B, in the fifth harness 25, the fifth other end side connector 25C is connected to the fifth other end side connected portion 15A of the operation portion board 15. The wiring 25A is provided facing downward from the connection portion between the fifth other end side connector 25C of the fifth harness 25 and the fifth other end side connected portion 15A of the operation unit board 15. Further, the fifth end side connected portion 13A of the game control board 13 to which the fifth end side connector 25B of the fifth harness 25 is connected is on the front side of the fifth other end side connected portion 15A of the operation unit board 15. Yes, it is arranged at a position higher than the fifth end side connected portion 13A of the game control board 13. Further, the other end side pushing portion 25I provided in the fifth other end side connector 25C of the fifth harness 25 is arranged below the fifth other end side connector 25C. Therefore, the wiring 25A of the fifth harness 25 is located at a position that covers the other end side pushing portion 25I from the front surface (lower side), which is a position that hinders the operation of the other end side pushing portion 25I of the fifth other end side connector 25C. You will be guided. The second guide member 52 guides the fifth other end side connector 25C side of the wiring 25A in the fifth harness 25 downward, and guides the tip (fifth one end side connector 25B side) to the fifth end side of the game control board 13. The connected portion 13A (see FIG. 2) is guided by folding back upward. Further, the other end side pushing portion 25I of the fifth harness 25 is arranged so as to face the end side of the operating portion substrate 15. Therefore, when the fifth harness 25 is normally removed from the operation unit board 15, the operability of the other end side push-in portion 25I can be improved.

In this way, by guiding the wiring 25A of the fifth harness 25 below the connected portion 15A on the fifth other end side to which the fifth other end side connector 25C on the operation unit board 15 is connected, the wiring 25A is laid. 5 It is possible to guide to a position that hinders the operation of the other end side push-in portion 25I provided in the other end side connector 25C. Therefore, for example, even if a fraudulent attempter inserts a hand or an instrument from the outside of the slot machine 1 and tries to pull out the fifth other end side connector 25C of the fifth harness 25, the other end side push-in portion 25I is provided by the wiring 25A. Can interfere with the operation of. Therefore, fraud by fraudulent planners can be prevented.

Further, for the purpose of preventing fraud, in order to obstruct the operation of the other end side pushing portion 25I, the wiring 25A is moved downward by the second guide member 52 (the position where the operation of the other end side pushing portion 25I is hindered). Since it is only a guide, fraud can be prevented with a simple configuration. Further, the second guide member 52 has an L-shaped cross section (substantially L-shaped), and the lower side is open. Therefore, the wiring 25A of the fifth harness 25 can be moved from the opening on the lower side of the second guide member 52 to the lower surface of the plate material without any obstruction. The harness 25 can be easily aligned.

Further, the fifth harness 25 is a harness through which the operation-related signals supplied from the operation unit board 15 to the game control board 13 flow through the wiring 25A. Therefore, for example, when the fifth other end side connector 25C of the fifth harness 25 is pulled out from the fifth other end side connected portion 15A of the operation unit board 15, the fifth other end side connector 25C is applied to an external unauthorized device. Is connected, and instead of the operation unit signal transmitted from the fifth other end side connector 25C, an illegal signal can be transmitted to the game control board 13, and the medal is illegally extracted from the slot machine 1 ( There are concerns such as being forced to pay out medals) and increasing the number of fraudulent credits. In this respect, since the fifth harness 25 is prevented from being pulled out from the operation unit board 15, it is possible to suppress a situation in which a medal is illegally pulled out from the slot machine 1.

As shown in FIG. 5C, in the fifth harness 25, the fifth end side connector 25B is connected to the fifth end side connected portion 13A of the game control board 13. The wiring 25A is provided so as to face upward from the connection portion between the fifth end side connector 25B of the fifth harness 25 and the fifth end side connected portion 13A of the game control board 13. Further, the fifth other end side connected portion 15A (see FIG. 2) of the operation unit board 15 to which the fifth other end side connector 25C of the fifth harness 25 is connected is the fifth other end side cover of the operation unit board 15. It is arranged at a position higher than the connection portion 15A. Further, the one end side push-in portion 25F provided on the fifth one end side connector 25B of the fifth harness 25 is arranged above the fifth one end side connector 25B. Therefore, the wiring 25A of the fifth harness 25 is guided to a position that covers the one end side push portion 25F from the front side (front side), which is a position that hinders the operation of the one end side push portion 25F of the fifth one end side connector 25B. .. The third guide member 53 guides the fifth end side connector 25B side of the wiring 25A in the fifth harness 25 upward, and guides the tip (the fifth other end side connector 25C side) to the fifth other end of the operation unit board 15. The side connected portion 15A is guided by folding back downward.

In this way, by guiding the wiring 25A of the fifth harness 25 above the fifth end side connected portion 13A to which the fifth end side connector 25B of the game control board 13 is connected, the wiring 25A is connected to the fifth end. It is possible to guide the driver to a position that hinders the operation of the one-end side push-in portion 25F provided on the side connector 25B. Therefore, for example, even if an unauthorized attempter inserts a hand or an instrument from the outside of the slot machine 1 and tries to pull out the fifth end side connector 25B of the fifth harness 25, the one end side push-in portion 25F is operated by the wiring 25A. Can be inhibited. Therefore, fraud by fraudulent planners can be prevented.

Further, for the purpose of preventing fraud, in order to obstruct the operation of the one-end side pushing portion 25F, the wiring 25A is guided upward (the position that hinders the operation of the one-one side pushing portion 25F) by the third guide member 53. Since it is only, it is possible to prevent fraud with a simple configuration. Further, the third guide member 53 has a ring shape (substantially ring shape) when viewed from the front, and has a large opening at the center. Therefore, the wiring 25A of the fifth harness 25 can be easily passed through the center of the third guide member 53.

Further, for example, when the fifth end side connector 25B of the fifth harness 25 is pulled out from the fifth end side connected portion 13A of the game control board 13, other illegal acts are made with respect to the fifth one end side connected portion 13A. A harness or the like is connected, and an illegal signal can be transmitted to the game control board 13, and medals are illegally extracted from the slot machine 1 (medals are forced to be paid out) or the number of illegal credits is increased. There is a concern that it will be done. In this respect, since the fifth harness 25 is prevented from being pulled out from the game control board 13, it is possible to suppress a situation in which a medal is illegally pulled out from the slot machine 1.

In the slot machine 1 having the above configuration, the wiring in the harness is guided from the connection portion between the connector and the non-operating portion to a position that hinders the operation of the pushing portion. Therefore, even if an unauthorized attempter attempts to illegally operate the push-in portion of the connector, the wiring of the harness interferes with the illegal operation, so that the illegal operation of the push-in portion can be hindered. Therefore, unauthorized operation can be prevented. Further, since the wiring is simply guided to a position that obstructs the pushing portion, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized operation with a simple configuration.

In the above embodiment, when guiding the wiring in each guide portion, the push-in portion is provided on the board to be connected to the harness in relation to the board or the like to which the harness is connected and the push-in portion provided in the connector. It is located on a side different from the side where it was placed. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the other end side pushing portion 24I is provided on the fourth other end side connector 24C of the fourth harness 24 connected to the effect control board 14 so as to face upward. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the game control board 13 to which the fourth one end side connector 24B of the fourth harness 24 is connected is located below the fourth other end side connector 24C. Therefore, if the effect control board 14 and the game control board 13 are simply connected by the fourth harness 24, the fourth harness 24 is attached so as to descend from the effect control board 14 toward the game control board 13. Therefore, the push-in portion 24I on the other end side is not hidden by the wiring 24A. In this regard, the right first guide member 51B guides the wiring 24A connected to the fourth other end side connected portion 14B to a position that temporarily hinders the operation of the other end side push portion 24I on the other end side push portion 24I side. is doing. Therefore, an unauthorized operation can be prevented with a simple configuration.

Further, in the above-mentioned slot machine 1, a guide member for guiding the wiring of the harness is provided. Since the harness (wiring) is guided using this guide member, the harness (wiring) can be easily guided. Therefore, for example, when the slot machine 1 is manufactured or installed in a game store, the harness can be easily routed.

Further, in the above slot machine 1, the width of the wiring in the harness, for example, the width when a plurality of wirings 21A in the first harness 21 are arranged is determined by the pushing portion, for example, the pushing portion 21F on the one end side and the pushing portion on the other end side. It is wider than the width of the portion 21I. Therefore, when the wiring is arranged at a position that hinders the operation of the pushing portion, the pushing portion can be hidden in a wide range, for example, as a whole by the wiring. Therefore, since the operation of the pushing portion can be more strongly hindered, fraud can be prevented more preferably.

Further, in the slot machine 1 described above, the push-in portion attached to the connector of the harness, for example, the other end side push-in portion 25I provided in the fifth other end side connector 25C of the fifth harness 25 is on the end side of the substrate, for example. , The operation unit board 15 is arranged so as to face the end side. Therefore, when the harness is normally removed from the board, the operability of the push-in portion can be improved.

Further, in the slot machine 1, the fifth one end side connector 25B, the second other end side connector 22C, and the first 4 The push-in portions provided on the one-end side connector 24B are all arranged on the same side (upper side). Therefore, since the wirings 25A, 22A, and 24A of the fifth harness 25, the second harness 22, and the fourth harness 24 that hide these push-in portions face the same direction, the operation of each push-in portion is more strongly hindered. Therefore, fraud can be prevented more preferably.

Further, in the above embodiment, the game of the effect control board 14 side of the fourth harness 24 connecting the game control board 13 and the effect control board 14, and the game of the fifth harness 25 connecting the game control board 13 and the operation unit board 15. Although guide members are provided on the control board 13 side and the operation unit board 15 side, guide members are provided on the end side of other harnesses so as to hinder the operation of the push-in portions provided in the connectors of these harnesses. You may.

For example, when the connector of the first harness 21 is pulled out from the power supply unit 11 or the power supply branch board 12, the power supply to each board is stopped, and while the power supply is stopped, the game control board 13, the effect control board 14, etc. It becomes easy to illegally replace a board from a regular board to a non-genuine board. In this regard, when the wiring 21A of the first harness 21 is guided to a position that hinders the operation of the push-in portion provided in the connector of the first harness 21, the first harness 21 is pulled out and power is supplied to each board. It is possible to prevent a situation in which the board is stopped, and it is possible to suppress unauthorized replacement of the board.

Further, when the connector of the second harness 22 is pulled out from the power supply branch board 12 or the game control board 13, it causes the power supply to the game control board 13 to be stopped, and it becomes easy to illegally replace the game control board 13. However, when the wiring 22A of the second harness 22 is guided to a position that hinders the operation of the push-in portion provided in the connector of the second harness 22, the second harness 22 is pulled out and power is supplied to the game control board 13.

With a game machine such as a mahjong ball or an arepachi, the number of game balls to be paid out depends on the predetermined number, for example, 16 game balls are launched and the area where the ball is entered (the area with a symbol or number imitating a mahjong tile). It is a game machine that can be decided. In such a game machine such as a pachinko game machine, a sparrow ball, or an arepachi, by providing each of the above-mentioned boards, a power supply unit, and a harness for connecting them, fraud can be prevented with a simple configuration.

Next, the main effects obtained by the above-described embodiment will be described.
(11) The gaming machine of the present invention is a gaming machine that plays a game (for example, a slot machine 1 or the like).
Wiring (for example, wiring 24A, etc.) and
A connected portion to which one end of the wiring (for example, the fourth end side connector 24B or the like) is connected (for example, the fourth other end side connected portion 14B or the like of the effect control board 14) and
Locking means for locking the connection between the wiring and the connected portion (for example, a locking claw on the other end side and a protrusion provided on the fourth connected portion 14B on the other end side) and
A release operation unit (for example, a push-in unit 24I on the other end side) that is operated to release the lock by the locking means is provided.
The other end of the wiring (for example, the fourth end side connector 24B or the like) is a connection portion between one end of the wiring and the connected portion (for example, the fourth one end side connector 24B and the fourth other end side connected portion 14B). A predetermined position (for example, the other end side when viewed from the fourth other end side connected portion 14B of the effect control board 14) provided in a direction different from the direction in which the operation release portion is arranged. The push-in portion 24I is connected to a connected portion 13C on the fourth end side of the game control board 13 provided in a direction different from the side on which the push-in portion 24I is arranged).
The wiring is guided from the connection point to a position that hinders the operation of the release operation unit (for example, the other end side from the connection point between the fourth one end side connector 24B and the fourth other end side connected portion 14B). It is characterized in that it is guided toward the push-in portion 24I side, etc.).

According to such a configuration, fraud can be prevented with a simple configuration.

(12) In the gaming machine according to (11) above, a guide unit (for example, left first guide member 51A, right first guide member 51B, second) that guides the wiring from the connection portion to the release operation unit side. The guide member 52, the third guide member 53, etc.) may be provided.

According to such a configuration, fraud can be prevented with a simple configuration.

(13) In the gaming machine according to (11) or (12), the wiring flows a power supply current (for example, a power supply current flowing through the first harness 21) and a signal used for game progress (for example, a fourth harness 24). At least one of a game signal related to the progress of the game, an operation-related signal flowing through the fifth harness 25, etc.) may be transmitted.

According to such a configuration, fraud can be prevented with a simple configuration.

(14) In any of the game machines (11) to (13) above, the locking means is a cover (for example, a game board case for enclosing the game control board 13, a board case for enclosing the effect control board 14). It may be covered with the left first guide member 51A, the right first guide member 51B, the second guide member 52, the cover accommodating the third guide member 53, and the like).

According to such a configuration, the release operation becomes difficult and fraud can be prevented.

(15) In any of the game machines (11) to (14), the width of the wiring is wider than the width of the operation release portion (for example, it is widened in the lateral direction and has a flat plate shape as a whole). The width of the plurality of wirings 21A arranged in the above may be wider than the width of the one end side pushing portion 21F and the other end side pushing portion 21I).

According to such a configuration, since the release operation unit is entirely hidden in the wiring, fraud can be suitably prevented.

(16) In any of the gaming machines (11) to (15), the release operation unit is arranged so as to face the end side of the substrate to which the wiring is connected (for example, in the fifth harness 25). The other end side push-in portion 25I may be arranged so as to face the end side of the operation portion substrate 15, etc.).

According to such a configuration, operability can be improved.

(17) In any of the game machines (11) to (16) above, a substrate provided with a plurality of connected portions is provided.
The plurality of release operation units in each of the plurality of wirings connected to the connected portion are arranged on the same side (for example, the fifth end side connector 25B connected to the game control board 13, the second The one end side push-in portion provided on the other end side connector 22C and the fourth one end side connector 24B may be arranged on the same side (upper side), etc.).

According to such a configuration, fraud can be prevented with a simple configuration.
