Below the central display frame unit 56, a starting prize winning unit 57 is arranged substantially in the center in the horizontal direction, a large prize winning unit 58 is arranged on the right side, and a normal prize winning unit 59 is arranged on the left side along the inner side of the guide rail 55, respectively. ing. Due to the large screen of the liquid crystal display means, the large size of the movable effect means, and other reasons, the inside of the game area 23 is in a very cramped state, and in particular, the lower area of the game area 23 is secured. I have a request to However, the lower left portion of the game area 23 cannot be expanded outward because it is inside the firing guide passage 60, and must be formed in a substantially arc shape. On the other hand, since there is no such restriction on the lower right part of the game area 23, in this embodiment, the lower right part of the game area 23 is expanded outward from the conventional arcuate position to the maximum extent, and the angular expansion is performed. A large winning unit (first unit component) 58 is arranged in the portion.

The normal symbol starting means 61 is for starting the variable display of normal symbols by the normal symbol display means 69, and is composed of a passage gate or the like through which a game ball can pass, and is a game ball detection switch for detecting the passage of a game ball. 91 and is located on the right downstream path 85b.

The normal symbol display means 69 is for displaying the normal symbols in a variable manner, and is composed of, for example, two LEDs. 61, and on the condition that the game ball detection switch 91 detects the game ball, the two LEDs constituting the normal pattern emit light in the light emission pattern during normal fluctuation, and then the game ball by the normal pattern starting means 61. When the hit determination random value included in the normal random number information acquired at the time of detection matches a predetermined hit determination value, the variation is stopped in a win mode, and in other cases, in a losing mode. In addition, the two LEDs that constitute the normal symbol can display one or a plurality of winning modes and one or a plurality of losing modes by a combination of their light emitting modes (for example, lighting/extinguishing).

Further, when the normal symbol starting means 61 detects the game ball during the normal holding period including during the symbol fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 69 and during the normal profit state to be described later, the normal random number information acquired thereby is A predetermined upper limit number of reserved symbols, for example, 4, is reserved and stored, and each time the normal reserved period ends, one is consumed and the normal pattern is varied. The stored number of normal random number information (normal reserved number) is notified to the player by the normal reserved number display means 70 or the like.

The first special symbol starting means 62 is for starting the symbol variation by the first special symbol display means 71, is composed of a non-operating winning means having no opening/closing means, and is provided in the starting winning unit 57. , a first start prize winning port 62a in which a game ball can win, and a game ball detection switch 92 for detecting a game ball that has won the first start prize winning port 62a. The first starting prize-winning port 62a is arranged in an upward opening shape on the lower side corresponding to the central drop portion 87 of the stage 84, and the prize-winning route passes through the stage 84 from the warp entrance 86 on the left flow path 85a side. Due to the existence of the game ball, the game ball that has flowed down the left flow path 85a can win a prize at a higher probability than the game ball that has flowed down the right flow path 85b. In addition, when the game ball wins the first special symbol starting means 62, a predetermined number (for example, four) of game balls per one win are paid out as prize balls.

The second special symbol starting means 63 is for starting the symbol variation by the second special symbol display means 72, and has a first state in which the game ball can win and no winning (or more difficult to win than the first state). The second state is provided in the central display frame unit 56, and the second starting winning port 63a in which game balls can win, and the normal electric accessory solenoid 93 are driven. and a game ball detection switch 95 for detecting a game ball that has won a prize in the second starting prize opening 63a. When the normal profit state occurs when the stopped pattern after the change of the normal pattern display means 69 becomes a winning mode, the movable portion 94 is switched from the second state to the first state according to a predetermined operation pattern. there is

The second special symbol starting means 63 is arranged on the right flowing path 85b and downstream of the normal symbol starting means 61, and the game ball flowing down the right flowing path 85b can win. In the second special symbol starting means 63, a second starting winning opening 63a is formed in a laterally open shape, and a movable portion 94 is arranged in the vicinity of the upstream side so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. The movable part 94 protrudes forward from the board surface of the game board 16, receives the game ball that has flowed down the right flow path 85b, and guides it to the second start winning opening 63a side, and in the second state, the movable part 94 retreats to the rear side of the board surface of the game board 16 to allow the game ball to flow downstream of the right flow path 85b. When a game ball wins in the second special symbol starting means 63, a predetermined number (for example, two) of game balls per one win are paid out as prize balls.

The second special symbol starting means 63 of the pachinko machine does not open and close the second starting winning opening 63a by the movable part 94, but opening and closing winning means opening and closing the second starting winning opening 63a by the movable part 94. It has the same functionality as Therefore, in the following description, for convenience, the sliding operation of the movable part 94 is an opening/closing operation, the first state in which it is easy to win a prize to the second start prize-winning port 63a, and the state in which it is impossible to win a prize (or more difficult to win than in the open state). The second state is called the closed state, and the operation pattern of the movable portion 94 is called the open/close pattern.

The first special symbol display means 71 is composed of display means such as a 7-segment display capable of variably displaying the first special symbol. On the condition that the game ball detection switch 92 detects the game ball, the first special symbol is variably displayed for a predetermined time, and is acquired at the time of winning the first start prize winning port 62a. If the big-hit determination random number contained in the first special random number information matches a predetermined big-hit determination value, the big-hit mode is used, and if it matches the small-hit determination value, the small-hit mode is used. Each stop is detached from each other. A big win state occurs when the stopped symbols after the variation of the first special symbol display means 71 become a big win state, and a small win state occurs when it becomes a small win state.

The second special symbol display means 72 is composed of display means such as a 7-segment display capable of variably displaying the second special symbol. Winning the second starting winning opening 63a, the game ball detection switch 95 detects the game ball, the second special symbol is displayed for a predetermined time, and is acquired at the time of winning the second starting winning opening 63a. If the big-hit determination random number contained in the second special random number information matches a predetermined big-hit determination value, the big-hit mode is used, and if it matches the small-hit determination value, the small-hit mode is used. Each stop is detached from each other. A big win state occurs when the stopped symbol after the variation of the second special symbol display means 72 becomes a big win state, and a small win state occurs when it becomes a small win state.

When the first and second special symbols are changed by the first and second special symbol display means 71 and 72, the effect symbol 100 is displayed on the liquid crystal display means 74 in parallel with this. The performance pattern 100 has a plurality of pattern rows (three in the horizontal direction in the example of FIG. 4) composed of a plurality of patterns such as number patterns, and each pattern constituting each pattern row is one. It is composed of a combination of a design body portion 100a composed of numbers such as to 8 and others, and a decoration portion 100b such as a character attached to the design body portion 100a. It is possible to arbitrarily change the display mode of the effect pattern 100, such as enlargement or reduction, change of the display position, deletion of the decorative portion 100b, and the like.

The production pattern 100, for example, starts to fluctuate by vertical scrolling or the like for each pattern row according to a predetermined fluctuation pattern substantially at the same time as the first and second special patterns start to fluctuate, and the stop patterns on a predetermined effective line are in a predetermined mode. For example, the first and second special symbols are stopped at the same time as the final stop. In addition, in the production pattern 100, for example, when all the stop patterns on the effective line are the same, the big hit production mode is set, and the others are the small hit production mode or the losing production mode. In the case of a small hit mode and a losing mode, the first and second special symbols become a big hit performance mode, a small winning performance mode, and a losing performance mode.

Also, during the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 71, during the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 72, during the special holding period including during the small winning state and the big winning state, the first and second special symbol starting means When the game balls 62 and 63 detect the game balls, the first and second special random number information acquired by them are retained and stored in the retention storage means up to a predetermined upper limit retention number, for example, 4 each. be. Then, when the reserved memory on the side of the second special pattern is 1 or more at the time when the special reserved period ends, one reserved memory of the second special pattern is digested to change the second special pattern, and the first special pattern is changed. When only the reserved memory on the side of the special design is 1 or more, one reserved memory of the first special design is digested to change the first special design. As described above, in this embodiment, both the first special symbol and the second special symbol are not fluctuating, and when both the first special symbol side and the second special symbol side have reserved memory, is to preferentially change the second special symbol.

In the case of this embodiment, the player hits to the left while aiming at the first special symbol starting means 62 during the normal game state other than during the special game state described later, and during the special game state (during the time saving state), the normal symbol starts. Since the means 61 and the second special symbol starting means 63 are aimed at the right hand, the first special symbol mainly fluctuates during the normal game state, and the second special symbol mainly fluctuates during the special game state (during the time saving state). do.

The numbers of the first and second special random number information (first and second special reserved numbers) reserved and stored in the reserved storage means are notified to the player by the liquid crystal display means 74 or the like. As shown in FIG. 4, the liquid crystal display means 74 can display the first and second reserved images X1 to X4 and Y1 to Y4 indicating the first and second special reserved numbers, and the pending image Z during fluctuation. there is That is, when the first and second special reserved numbers increase based on the detection of the game ball by the first and second special symbol starting means 62 and 63, the first and second reserved images X1-, Y1- is additionally displayed on the liquid crystal display means 74, and the first and second special symbol display means 71 and 72 start new fluctuations of the first and second special symbols. When the special pending number decreases, for example, the changing pending image Z is deleted, and the first and second pending images X1 ~, Y1 ~ are shifted one by one toward the front side of the queue (for example, the right side of the screen). At the same time, the first and second pending images X1 and Y1 pushed out are moved to a predetermined position, for example, and changed to a new pending image Z during fluctuation.

In addition, there are two types of probability (jackpot probability) of hitting a jackpot (jackpot probability) in the jackpot determination (random number lottery) performed based on the game ball detection by the first and second special symbol starting means 62 and 63, ie, a low probability and a high probability. , It is set to a high probability during the variable probability state of the special game state described later, and to a low probability otherwise.

In addition, when the big hit determination result is a loss, one or a plurality of types of losses are selected, and when the big hit determination result is a small win, one or a plurality of types of small wins are selected. However, when the big hit determination result is a big hit, one or a plurality of types of big wins (for example, two types of variable probability big wins and non-variable probability big wins) are selected. Here, the variable probability big hit is a big hit that generates a variable probability state (first special game state) as a special game state after the end of the big hit state, and the non-variable probability big hit is a special game state after the end of the big win state, for example, a time saving state. The big hits that cause (second special game state) are distributed based on the big hit symbol random numbers and the like.

During the time saving state, for example, the variation times of the first and second special symbol display means 71 and 72 are switched to a shortened variation time shorter than the normal variation time with respect to the first and second special symbols, and the probability of winning with respect to the normal symbols. is from normal probability to high probability, the fluctuation time is from normal fluctuation time to shortened fluctuation time, the opening and closing pattern of the second special symbol starting means 63 in the normal profit state is from the normal opening and closing pattern (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time open) It can be switched to a special opening/closing pattern (for example, opening 2 seconds x 3 times). The time saving state starts when the big win state ends, and ends when the first and second special symbols fluctuate a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times) or when the next big win game occurs by then. Moreover, during the variable probability state, for example, in addition to switching similar to the time saving state, the probability of a big hit is switched from a low probability to a high probability. The variable probability state starts when the big hit state ends, and ends when the next big hit state occurs, for example.

The first big prize winning means 64 is changed into an open state in which the game ball can win the first big prize opening 64a and a closed state in which the game ball cannot win a prize by the operation of the opening/closing member (movable part) 97 by the first big prize winning opening solenoid 96. The game ball detection switch 98 is provided as a variable actuated winning means, and is equipped with a game ball detection switch 98 for detecting a game ball that has won a prize in the first big winning hole 64a. The opening/closing member 97 is opened according to one or a plurality of types of jackpot opening patterns when the stop pattern of 1 is in a jackpot mode or when a jackpot state occurs due to a V prize to be described later.

This first big winning means 64 is provided in the big winning unit 58. For example, the first slope formed on the right downstream path 85b side and downstream of the normal symbol starting means 61 and the second special symbol starting means 63 A first prize winning opening 64 a is arranged in the middle of the rolling path 99 . The first slanted rolling path 99 is formed in a sloping shape that slopes downward toward the inside (here, left side) of the game area 23 in the left-right direction. The first big prize winning opening 64a is elongated along the first inclined rolling path 99 and is formed in the bottom wall 99a of the first inclined rolling path 99 so as to open upward. The opening/closing member 97 is a substantially plate-shaped body that is inclined downward to the left along the first inclined rolling path 99, and is slidable in the front-rear direction by being driven by the first prize winning opening solenoid 96. When in the closed state, it protrudes forward from the board surface of the game board 16 to close the first big winning opening 64a and moves the game balls flowing down from the upstream side to the downstream side (here, left side) of the first inclined rolling path 99. When the game board 16 is in the open state, the game board 16 is retracted to the rear side to open the first big prize winning opening 64a.

As shown in FIG. 20, the vias V10 to V17 are arranged in a gentle slope so that the most −Y side via V10 is the most +X side and the most +Y side via V17 is the most −X side. there is

The wiring paths P0 to P7 connected to the data bus terminals D0 to D7 of the main chip IC 13 are, as is clear from the circuit diagrams of FIGS. It is also commonly used in patterns, and branches at arbitrary branch points, but these branch paths will not be described here.

That is, four A wiring patterns WPa are provided corresponding to four solenoids (see the circuit diagram of FIG. 22). Therefore, in the A wiring pattern WPa, as shown in FIG. 19, the wiring paths P10 to P13 branched to the +Y side from V10 to V13 of the vias V10 to V17 on the first wiring layer L1 side constitute flip-flops. are connected to the input terminals 4D, 5D, 3D and 6D of the integrated circuit IC6, respectively. The integrated circuit IC6 is arranged on the +Y side of the vias V10 to V17 so that the longitudinal direction is the X direction.

In the A wiring pattern WPa, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, wiring paths P20 are drawn from the output terminals 4Q, 5Q, 3Q and 6Q corresponding to the input terminals 4D, 5D, 3D and 6D of the integrated circuit IC6. to P23 are connected to transistors (first circuit) Q1 to Q4 via resistors R31 to R28, respectively (see the circuit diagram of FIG. 24). Here, the resistors R31 to R28 are arranged in the vicinity of the approximate center of the third side 206c on the +X side of the main control board 151, with a posture along the X direction, and at approximately equal intervals from the -Y side to the +Y side. It is The transistors Q1 to Q4 are arranged in the vicinity of the third side 206c of the main control board 151 and on the -Y side of the resistors R31 to R28 from the +Y side to the -Y side at approximately equal intervals.

As shown in FIG. 19, the wiring paths P20 and P21 among the wiring paths P20 to P23 are led out from the output terminals 4Q and 5Q of the integrated circuit IC6 to the -Y side on the first wiring layer L1 side, and then connected to the via V20. , V21 to the second wiring layer L2 side, and is connected from the -X side to the -X side ends of the resistors R31 and R30 as shown in FIG. The wiring paths P22 and P23 among the wiring paths P20 to P23 are, as shown in FIG. It moves to the first wiring layer L1 side via V22 and V23, and is connected from the +Y side to the -X side ends of the resistors R29 and R28 as shown in FIG.

In the A wiring pattern WPa, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the wiring paths P30 to P33 drawn out from the transistors (first circuit) Q1 to Q4 to the +X side are connected to the third side 206c of the main control board 151. , and connected to the third to sixth terminals T3 to T6 of the connector CN7 from the +Y side through a plurality of bent portions (see the circuit diagram of FIG. 24). In the terminal row of the connector CN7, the first to sixteenth terminals T1 to T16 are arranged in a row from the +X side to the -X side.

In the wiring paths P30 to P33, the portions from the transistors (first circuits) Q1 to Q4 to the vias V30 to V33 are on the first wiring layer L1 side (FIG. 19), and the portions from the vias V30 to V33 to the connector CN7. are arranged on the second wiring layer L2 side (FIG. 20). Since the vias V30 to V33 also serve as branch points to the diodes D1, D2, D3, and D5 arranged on the -Y side of the transistors Q1 to Q4, respectively, the vias V30 to V33 are arranged near the transistors Q1 to Q4. . Therefore, most of the wiring length of the wiring paths P30 to P33 (A second wiring pattern WPa2) connecting the transistors (first circuits) Q1 to Q4 and the connector CN7 is arranged on the second wiring layer L2 side. It is As described above, a predetermined gap is ensured between the rear surface 200b of the main control board 151 on which the second wiring layer L2 is provided and the rear case body 152b (FIG. 13).

In the A wiring pattern WPa described above, as is clear from FIGS. , P10 to P13, P20 to P23 (A first wiring pattern WPa1) and wiring paths P30 to P33 (A second wiring pattern WPa2) on the connector CN7 side (output side) have different wiring widths. The latter (A second wiring pattern WPa2) is formed wider than (A first wiring pattern WPa1).

15 to 20, etc., the transistors (first circuit) Q1 to Q4 are arranged closer to the connector (predetermined connector) CN7 than the main chip IC13. The wiring length of the A second wiring pattern WPa2 connecting the transistors Q1 to Q4 and the connector CN7 is shorter than the wiring length of the A first wiring pattern WPa1 connecting to Q4.

Thus, in the A wiring pattern WPa, the output side from the transistors Q1 to Q4 is higher than the wiring paths P0 to P3, P10 to P13, P20 to P23 (A first wiring pattern WPa1) on the input side to the transistors Q1 to Q4. The wiring paths P30 to P33 (A second wiring pattern WPa2) have a wider wiring width and a shorter wiring length. It is possible to reliably prevent heat generation on the side and disconnection caused by it.

In addition, most of the wiring length of the wiring paths P30 to P33 (A second wiring pattern WPa2) that transmits the solenoid ON/OFF signals output from the transistors (first circuit) Q1 to Q4 to the connector CN7 is , is arranged on the side of the back surface 200b of the main control board 151 that cannot be seen from the rear side of the game machine body 1, that is, on the side of the second wiring layer L2, and between the back surface 200b of the main control board 151 and the back case body 152b. Since a predetermined gap is ensured between , it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts and to prevent the occurrence of problems due to heat retention.

That is, six B wiring patterns WPb are provided corresponding to six magnetic sensors (see the circuit diagrams of FIGS. 23 and 24). Note that these magnetic sensors are used as countermeasures against goto, and are arranged at predetermined positions in each of the unit parts 56 to 59 and the like on the game board 16 (not shown). In the B wiring pattern WPb, as shown in FIG. 19, wiring paths branched to the -Y side on the first wiring layer L1 side from V10 to V15 of vias V10 to V17 which are branch points with the A wiring pattern WPa. P100 to P105 are connected from the +Y side to terminals Y8 to Y3 of an integrated circuit (second circuit) IC12 constituting a buffer, respectively (see the circuit diagram of FIG. 23). The integrated circuit IC12 is arranged on the -Y side of the vias V10 to V17 so that the longitudinal direction is the X direction, and the terminals Y8 to Y3 are arranged along the +Y side edge.

In the B wiring pattern WPb, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the wiring paths P110 to P115 drawn to the -Y side from the terminals D8 to D3 corresponding to the terminals Y8 to Y3 of the integrated circuit IC12 are resistors. It is connected from the +Y side to the 9th to 14th terminals of the connector CN7 via R53 to R48 (see the circuit diagram of FIG. 24). The resistors R53 to R48 are arranged in the Y direction between the integrated circuit IC12 and its -Y side connector CN7 at substantially equal intervals from the +X side to the -X side. In addition, vias V100 to V106 are arranged near the -Y side of the resistors R53 to R48, respectively. (FIG. 19), and the portions from the vias V100 to V106 to the connector CN7 are arranged on the second wiring layer L2 side (FIG. 20).

In the B wiring pattern WPb explained above, as is clear from FIGS. Wiring widths of P100 to P105 (B first wiring pattern WPb1) and wiring paths P110 to P115 (B second wiring pattern WPb2) on the connector CN7 side are substantially the same. In addition, since the wiring width of the A first wiring pattern WPa1 and the B first wiring pattern WPb1 are substantially the same, the wiring width of the A second wiring pattern WPa2 is It is wider than the wiring width of the second wiring pattern WPb2). In this way, since problems such as heat generation do not occur in the B wiring pattern WPb, the wiring efficiency is maintained high by making the entire wiring width equal to that of the A first wiring pattern WPa1.

Next, details of the solenoid power supply C wiring pattern WPc for connecting the connector CN1 and the connector CN7 will be described from the connector CN1 side. As shown in FIG. 15, the connector CN1 is arranged along the first side 206a of the main control board 151 near the approximate center thereof. The 11th terminal in is a power supply terminal of DC35V.

As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the wiring path P201 forming the C wiring pattern WPc is drawn out from the DC 35V power terminal of the connector CN1 to the vicinity of the first side 206a on the -X side on the second wiring layer L2 side. , and further arranged counterclockwise along the outer peripheries of the first side 206a and the second side 206b, and then, as shown in FIGS. , and connected to one end of the EMI filter FLT4 (see the circuit diagram of FIG. 25). Then, as shown in FIG. 19 and the like, the wiring path P201 is led out from the other end side of the EMI filter FLT4 to the -Y side on the first wiring layer L1 side, and then, as shown in FIG. is connected from the +Y side to the DC 35V terminal of the connector CN7 on the second wiring layer L2 side via (see the circuit diagram of FIG. 24). In the connector CN7, the first terminal T1 and the second terminal T2 on the +X side are DC35V power supply terminals.

As is clear from FIGS. It is formed wider than any wiring width of WPb2. Thus, in this embodiment, a sufficient wiring width is ensured for the C wiring pattern WPc in order to supply power to a plurality (four) of solenoids.

Next, details of the wiring pattern WPd for inputting the reset signal and the clock signal to the main chip IC 13 will be described. In this embodiment, the first wiring pattern WPd1 connects the power supply voltage monitoring integrated circuit IC20 that outputs the reset signal and the main chip IC13, and the crystal oscillator OSC1 that outputs the clock signal and the main chip IC13 are connected. is a second wiring pattern WPd2.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the wiring path P301 is led out from the integrated circuit IC19 to the -X side on the second wiring layer L2 side, and then connected to the +Y side on the first wiring layer L1 side via the via V301. direction, and further extends in the +Y direction on the second wiring layer L2 side via a via V303 and is connected to the system reset terminal RST0 of the main chip IC 13 from the -Y side (see FIGS. 26 and 21). (see circuit diagram).

Further, in the second wiring pattern WPd2, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, on the second wiring layer L2 side, the wiring path P311 drawn out from the crystal oscillator OSC1 to the +Y side is directly connected to the system clock terminal of the main chip IC13. It is connected to MCLK from the -Y side (see circuit diagram 21).

A GND guard is provided for substantially the entirety of the wiring path P301 forming the first wiring pattern WPd1 and the wiring path P311 forming the second wiring pattern WPd2. That is, on both sides of the wiring paths P301 and P311, the ground wiring patterns are adjacent to each other without other wiring patterns interposed therebetween except near the terminals of the IC main chip IC13.

15 to 20, etc., the wiring widths of the first wiring pattern WPd1 and the second wiring pattern WPd2 are: A first wiring pattern WPa1, B first wiring pattern WPb1, B second wiring It is formed wider than each wiring width of the pattern WPb2. Further, the wiring width of the second wiring pattern WPd2 is wider than the wiring width of the first wiring pattern WPd1 and substantially the same as the wiring width of the second wiring pattern WPa2.

As described above, in the present embodiment, considering that the reset signal and the clock signal are greatly affected by malfunction due to noise, substantially the entire wiring pattern WPd is provided with a GND guard and the wiring By making the width wider than usual (A first wiring pattern WPa1, B wiring pattern WPb, etc.), the influence of other signal lines and the like is eliminated as much as possible.

As a result, it is possible to prevent an increase in the risk of disconnection due to heat of the A second wiring pattern WPa2 due to contact with the protrusion 205 .

Further, as described above, the main control board 151 is provided with screw holes 201 for fixing screws 201a at two diagonal corners among its four corners, and a positioning projection 202a is inserted at the remaining one corner. However, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, no wiring pattern is provided around the screwing holes 201 and the positioning holes 202 on either the front surface 200a side or the rear surface 200b side. A non-wiring area 203 is formed, and when the main control board 151 is fixed to the main control board case 152 with the fixing screw 201a, as shown in FIG. It is designed not to come into contact with the wiring pattern. By providing the non-wiring area 203 around the screwing holes 201 and the positioning holes 202 in this way, unnecessary current and noise can flow from the screwing holes 201 and the positioning holes 202 to the first and second wiring layers L1 and L2. It is possible to suppress the problem of getting on.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14, each connector such as the connector CN7 is provided with one or a plurality of protrusions 211 (here, one near the end), and the board body 200 is provided with the protrusions 211 corresponding to the protrusions 211.

As shown in FIGS. . By providing the non-conductive region 213 around the through-hole 212 for positioning the connector in this way, the problem that unnecessary current or noise is carried from the through-hole 212 to the first and second wiring layers L1 and L2 can be prevented. can be suppressed.

27 and 28 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a certificate stamp 141 is placed along the outer side of the guide rail 55 corresponding to the lower left part of the game area 23 by partially modifying the first embodiment. 10 shows an example in which they are arranged in a tilted manner. It should be noted that this embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in the arrangement position and orientation of the certificate stamp 141 .

As shown in FIG. 27, in this embodiment, a certificate stamp 141 similar to that in the first embodiment is placed outside the guide rail 55 corresponding to the lower left portion of the game area 23 on the game board 16 along the guide rail 55. It is arranged so as to form a slope downward to the right.

The certificate stamp 141 is attached to a rail forming member 146 attached to the front side of the base plate 54 of the game board 16, as shown in FIGS. That is, the rail forming member 146 includes a flat plate portion 146a provided along the board surface of the base plate 54, and a forward projecting rail portion 146b provided along the edge of the flat plate portion 146a on the firing guide passage 60 side. is integrally provided, and an outer rail 55a made of metal, for example, is arranged on the surface of the rail portion 146b on the firing guide path 60 side, and the first information display area 141a and the second information display are provided on the front side of the flat plate portion 146a. The certificate stamp 141 is affixed obliquely so that the region 141b is inclined downward to the right. A certificate stamp attaching member may be detachably attached to the flat plate portion 146a of the rail forming member 146, and the certificate stamp 141 may be attached to the certificate stamp attaching member. good.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, the certificate stamp 141 has only a portion of its upper side (first information display area 141a side) positioned within the window hole 24a, and the other lower side thereof is positioned above the window hole 24a. It is positioned outside, that is, on the rear side of the upper decorative cover 31 . As a result, the control symbol 142, the control number 143, and the two-dimensional code 144 displayed in the first information display area 141a can be seen through the front and rear glass plates (transparent plates) 50a constituting the glass unit 50 even when viewed from the front. However, the manufacturer name 145 displayed in the second information display area 141b on the lower side is blocked by the upper decorative cover (shielding portion) 31 on the front side and is not visible when viewed from the front. .

However, since a space is provided between the glass plate 50a and the upper decorative cover 31 on the front side of the certificate stamp 141, as shown in FIG. By looking into the certificate stamp 141, the manufacturer name 145 displayed in the second information display area 141b can also be visually recognized. As described above, the certificate stamp 141 is placed along the guide rail 55 in the lower left part of the game board 16, which has a relatively large space because the game area 23 cannot be expanded outward due to the presence of the launch guide passage 60. By arranging it obliquely, it is possible to arrange the certificate stamp 141 relatively easily while sufficiently ensuring the visibility of the information.

FIG. 29 illustrates a third embodiment of the present invention, showing an example in which a certificate stamp 141 is arranged in the vicinity of the rear side of the glass plate 50a by partially changing the first embodiment. The only difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is the arrangement position of the certificate stamp 141 in the front-rear direction.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the flat plate portion 146a of the rail forming member 146 is arranged at a position close to the board surface of the rear base plate 54, and the certificate stamp 141 affixed to the flat plate portion 146a. and the glass plate 50a on the front side thereof, a sufficient space is formed between them, but in this embodiment, as shown in FIG.
