The slot machine of the basic embodiment described below starts rotating when a predetermined number of game media are inserted and a plurality of reels each having a plurality of types of symbols receive a predetermined rotation start instruction operation. At the same time, based on the acceptance of the rotation start instruction operation, the propriety of internal winning of multiple types of winning combinations is determined by lottery (internal lottery), and each of the plurality of reels receives a predetermined rotation stop instruction operation. The rotation is stopped individually, and if the winning combination based on the lottery result and the combination of symbols when the plurality of reels are stopped meet the predetermined payout conditions, the game media is paid out and the game ends. This is a game machine that runs a series of games that will end without dispensing game media if the machine does not pay out the game media.

First, the basic configuration of the slot machine 100 will be explained using FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of the slot machine 100 viewed from the front side (player side).

The slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes a main body 101 and a front door 102 that is attached to the front side of the main body 101 and can be opened and closed with respect to the main body 101. Three reels (a left reel 110, a middle reel 111, and a right reel 112) each having a plurality of types of symbols arranged on the outer peripheral surface are housed in the upper part of the main body 101, and are configured to be rotated inside the slot machine 100. ing. These reels 110 to 112 are rotationally driven by a driving device such as a stepping motor.

In the basic embodiment, each pattern is printed in an appropriate number on a band-like member at equal intervals, and this band-like member is attached to a predetermined circular cylindrical frame member to constitute each reel 110 to 112. When viewed from the player, approximately three symbols on the reels 110 to 112 are displayed vertically from the display window 113, making a total of nine symbols visible. Specifically, the symbols displayed in the upper row of the left reel 110 are the left reel upper symbols, the symbols displayed in the middle row of the left reel 110 are the left reel middle symbols, and the symbols displayed in the lower row of the left reel 110 are the left reel symbols. Reel lower symbols, symbols displayed in the upper row of the middle reel 111 are middle reel upper symbols, symbols displayed in the middle of the left reel 111 are middle reel symbols, and symbols displayed in the lower row of the middle reel 111 are middle reel lower symbols. The symbols displayed on the upper row of the right reel 112 are called the right reel upper row symbols, the symbols displayed on the middle row of the right reel 112 are called the right reel middle row symbols, and the symbols displayed on the lower row of the right reel 112 are called the right reel lower row symbols. The symbols of each reel 110 to 112 are displayed vertically in three symbols on each reel 110 to 112 through the display window 113, for a total of nine symbols. By rotating each of the reels 110 to 112, the combination of symbols visible to the player changes. In other words, each reel 110 to 112 functions as a display device that variably displays combinations of a plurality of types of symbols. In addition to the reel, an electronic image display device such as a liquid crystal display device can also be used as such a display device. Further, in the basic embodiment, three reels are provided at the top of the slot machine 100, but the number of reels and the installation position of the reels are not limited to this.

A backlight for illuminating the individual symbols displayed on the display window 113 is arranged on the back side of each reel 110 to 112. It is desirable that the backlight be shielded for each pattern so that each pattern can be illuminated evenly. Note that inside the slot machine 100, an optical sensor (not shown) consisting of a light emitting part and a light receiving part is provided near each of the reels 110 to 112. A light shielding piece of a certain length provided on the reel is configured to pass between the two. The position of the symbol on the reel in the rotational direction is determined based on the detection result of this optical sensor, and the reels 110 to 112 are stopped so that the desired symbol is displayed on the winning line.

Here, the winning line is a line on which it is determined whether or not a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination has been displayed. Only one line is provided, which is a downward-sloping winning line. The valid winning line (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "valid line") is predetermined by the number of medals bet as gaming media. The slot machine 100 shown in FIG. 1 requires three medals, and when the number of medals inserted is less than three, no winning line becomes valid, and when three medals are bet, the winning line becomes valid. become. When the winning line becomes valid, the game can be started by operating the start lever 135. Note that the number of winning lines is not limited to one line. For example, in addition to the winning line that drops to the right, there is also a middle winning line that consists of left reel middle symbols, middle reel middle symbols, and right reel middle symbols, and left reel lower symbols, middle reel middle symbols, and right reel upper symbols. A total of three winning lines, including the winning lines rising to the right, may be set as valid winning lines, or a number of winning lines corresponding to the number of bets may be set as valid winning lines.

The LED unit 120 and the three 7-segment displays 125 are display means for displaying various information about the slot machine 100. Note that the LED unit 120 corresponds to an example of a specific component, and the component herein is a structure made up of various components.

The start lever 135 is a lever-type switch for starting the rotation of the reels 110 to 112. That is, after inserting the desired number of medals into the medal slot 141 or operating the bet buttons 130 to 132 to insert the required number of medals (excluding the case of replaying), when the start lever 135 is operated, the reels start. 110 to 112 will start rotating. The operation on the start lever 135 is called a game start operation.

The stop button unit 136 is provided with stop buttons 137 to 139, each of which includes a left stop button 137, a middle stop button 138, and a right stop button 139. The stop buttons 137 to 139 are button-shaped switches for individually stopping the reels 110 to 112 that have started rotating by operating the start lever 135, and are associated with each reel 110 to 112. More specifically, by operating the left stop button 137, the left reel 110 can be stopped, by operating the middle stop button 138, the middle reel 111 can be stopped, and by operating the right stop button 139, the middle reel 111 can be stopped. By operating the right reel 112, it is possible to stop the right reel 112. Hereinafter, the operations on the stop buttons 137 to 139 will be referred to as a stop operation, the first stop operation will be referred to as a first stop operation, the next stop operation will be referred to as a second stop operation, and the last stop operation will be referred to as a third stop operation. Further, the reels that are stopped in response to these stop operations are referred to as a first stop reel, a second stop reel, and a third stop reel in this order. Furthermore, the order in which the stop buttons 137 to 139 are stopped in order to stop all of the rotating reels 110 to 112 is called an operation order or a pressing order. Furthermore, the order of operations in which the first stop operation is an operation to stop the left reel 110 is called "order of push operations" or simply "push in order", and the order of operations in which the first stop operation is an operation to stop the right reel 112 is called "order of push operations" or simply "push in order". This is called "reverse push operation order" or simply "reverse push." Note that a light emitting body may be provided inside each of the stop buttons 137 to 139, and when the stop buttons 137 to 139 can be operated, the light emitting body may be turned on to notify the player.

Although the display screen is a flat surface in the basic embodiment, it may be a curved surface.

<Circuit configuration of control section>
Next, the circuit configuration of the control section of the slot machine 100 will be explained.

The control unit of the slot machine 100 can be roughly divided into a main control unit that controls the progress of the game, and a sub-control unit that controls the performance according to command signals (hereinafter simply referred to as “commands”) transmitted by the main control unit. It is composed of a control section.

<Type of winning role>
Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be explained using FIG. 2. This figure is a diagram showing the types of winning combinations (including active winning combinations), the symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and the payout (number of awards) of each winning combination.

The winning combinations of the slot machine 100 include BB1, BB2, RB, Cherry, Watermelon, Bell, and Replay. Note that the types of winning combinations are not limited to these winning combinations, and can be arbitrarily adopted.

Among the winning combinations in the basic embodiment, BB1, BB2, and RB are winning combinations (operating combinations) that shift to a special gaming state in which a predetermined profit is given to the player upon winning. Moreover, replay is a combination that allows replaying without inserting new medals. These BB1, BB2, RB, and Replay may be called "actuators." In addition, "winning" in the basic embodiment also includes a case where a symbol combination of an active role that does not involve a medal payout (does not involve a payout of medals) is displayed on the active line, such as BB1, BB2, Includes RB and replay prizes. Note that BB1, BB2, and RB are special winnings that are carried over to the next game if not determined to be a winning prize, and other winnings are general winnings that are not carried over to the next game if not determined to be a winning prize. It is a role.

BB1, BB2, and RB are winning combinations (actuation winning combinations) that shift to a special gaming state upon winning. However, medals will not be paid out for winning these roles themselves. The corresponding symbol combinations are BB1 is "red square - red square - red square", BB2 is "blue square - blue square - blue square", and RB is "black square - black square - black square". .

When BB1, BB2, and RB are internally won, the internal winning flag corresponding to the internally won special combination is set to ON. When these flags are set to on, the main control section shifts the gaming state to a special prize internal winning state. This flag remains on until the corresponding activation combination is won, making it easier to win these activation combinations in subsequent games. For example, even if the prize is not won in a game in which BB1 is internally won, the state will be the same as the state in which BB1 is internally won in the next and subsequent games, and the corresponding symbol combinations will be in a state where it is easy to win.

In the special winning combination internal winning state, if a winning combination other than the special winning combination has been internally won, reel stop control is executed so that the symbols constituting the other winning combination are arranged preferentially.

Replay is a winning combination (activation combination) that allows you to play the next game without inserting medals (game media) by winning a prize, and no medals are paid out. In other words, the game can be played again with the same number of bets as the number of coins inserted last time. The corresponding symbol combination is "blue circle - blue circle - blue circle".

The replay may be any combination that allows the player to play the next game without inserting medals. Therefore, for example, if you win a replay, the medals may be automatically inserted in the next game, or you can use the medals inserted in the replay winning game by carrying them over to the next game. It may be.

Cherry, watermelon, and bell are winning combinations in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out upon winning. The corresponding symbol combinations are "red triangle-ANY-ANY" for the cherry, "green square-green square-green square" for the watermelon, and "yellow triangle-yellow triangle-yellow triangle" for the bell. Further, the corresponding number of coins to be paid out is as shown in FIG. In the case of "Red Triangle-ANY-ANY", the middle reel upper symbol of the left reel 110 only needs to be "Red Triangle", and the symbols of the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 may be any symbol. In addition, for the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combinations other than cherry, the three constituent symbols do not all have to be the same symbol, and the three symbols may be different in shape and color to the extent that they can be visually recognized as being roughly the same. , it is also possible to use a combination of three symbols that cannot be visually recognized as being substantially the same.

[About the configuration of the LED unit 120]
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the LED unit 120 seen from the front side.

It is called 1211. Of these, the second 7-segment lamp 1205 and the third 7-segment lamp 1207 are adjacent to each other, making it possible to display two-digit numbers. Further, the 47th segment lamp 1210 and the 57th segment lamp 1211 are also adjacent to each other, and are also capable of displaying two-digit numbers. A first dot lamp 1202 is provided adjacent to the lower right of the first 7-segment lamp 1201 . A second dot lamp 1206 is provided adjacent to the lower right of the second 7-segment lamp 1205, and a third dot lamp 1208 is provided adjacent to the lower right of the 3rd 7-segment lamp 1207. Note that no dot lamps are provided adjacent to the 47th segment lamp 1210 and the 57th segment lamp 1211.

Moreover, two lamps are provided vertically in line between the first 7-segment lamp 1201 and the second 7-segment lamp 1205. Of these, the upper lamp is referred to as an upper lamp 1203, and the lower lamp is referred to as a lower lamp 1204.

Further, a bet number lamp 1209 is provided between the third seventh segment lamp 1207 and the fourth seventh segment lamp 1210. This bet number lamp 1209 corresponds to the characters "3BET," "2BET," and "1BET," and has display areas that can light up these characters in order from top to bottom. There is.

In addition, on the right side of the 57th segment lamp 1211, there is a bet lamp 1212 that can light up the characters "INSERT", a start lamp 1213 that can light the characters "START", and a replay lamp that can light the characters "REPLAY". Three display sections 1214 are provided in order from top to bottom.

In this embodiment, the first 7-segment lamp 1201 may be used as a display means for notifying the pressing order. Further, the first dot lamp 1202 is used to notify an advantageous section. The upper lamp 1203 lights up when a BB signal or an RB signal is being output to an external device. The lower lamp 1204 is used as an indicator that notifies an error by lighting up when an error occurs. The second 7th segment lamp 1205 and the 3rd 7th segment lamp 1207 are used as a payout number display for displaying the number of medals when a certain winning combination is won and medals are paid out to the player. The bet number lamp 1209 displays the current bet number by lighting up the characters corresponding to the number of medals bet. The 47th segment lamp 1210 and the 57th segment lamp 1211 are indicators for displaying the number of medals electronically stored in the slot machine 100. The bet enable lamp 1212 is a lamp that informs the player that he or she can insert game medals and set the number of bets using various bet buttons. The start lamp 1213 is a lamp for notifying that the player can start the game when a specified number of medals are inserted or when the player wins a prize in a replay. The replay lamp 1214 informs the player that the current game can be played again (no need to insert medals) when a replay combination that is one of the winning combinations is won in the previous game. It's a lamp.

The role of each lamp above is just an example, and in addition to (or instead of) these roles, various internal information (for example, the number of medals paid out during the special game state) may be displayed. A combination of multiple lamps may be used. For example, if there is no configuration for notifying the pressing order, the first 7-segment lamp 1201 does not need to notify the pressing order, so it may be used as a display means for displaying other information. Further, for example, it may be used as a display means for indicating a so-called bonus internal winning state or a bonus gaming state.

Further, for example, a separate display means may be provided in addition to the LED unit 120, such as the 7-segment display 125 of this embodiment, and used to display various information. For example, the center display of the 7-segment display 125 may display the number of coins to be paid out, and the displays on both sides may display operation information.

In FIG. 5, ranges corresponding to the 57th segment lamp 1211, the bet possible lamp 1212, the start lamp 1213, and the replay lamp 1214 are shown.

As shown in FIG. 4, the LED unit 120 has a structure in which a display sticker 121, a reflector 122, and an LED board 123 are stacked in order from the front side. Note that the reflector 122 and the LED board 123 correspond to an example of a member, and the member here constitutes a component. Among these, the LED board 123 located at the rearmost side has LED elements 1231 provided at locations corresponding to the respective lamps of the LED unit 120. Further, the reflector 122 is formed with a path (hereinafter referred to as an irradiation space) for allowing the light from the LED element 1231 to reach the display sticker 121. In this embodiment, the reflector 122 is white so that it can easily diffuse light. The display sticker 121 is made of a material that transmits light in the area where it is lit and blocks light in other areas. In this embodiment, by making the light-shielding portion black, the structure is configured such that the light-shielding portion is made black to further shield light and absorb external light, thereby making it easier to see the transmitted light. When the LED element 1231 is turned on, the light passes through the irradiation space formed in the reflector 122 and hits the display sticker 121, and the lamp corresponding to the LED element 1231 is turned on. Note that in this embodiment, light passes through the inside of each of the characters "3BET", "2BET", "1BET", "INSERT", "START", and "REPLAY" in the display sticker 121, and light passes through the other characters. The structure is such that the characters do not pass through (the characters themselves are recognized by lighting up), but for example, light does not pass through the inside of each character, but light passes through the surroundings (the characters themselves do not light up, but the characters themselves are recognized). It is also possible to have a configuration in which characters are recognized by lighting up the surrounding area.

In this embodiment, one LED element 1231 is provided for each segment of the first 7-segment lamp 1201, the second 7-segment lamp 1205, the third 7-segment lamp 1207, the fourth 7-segment lamp 1210, and the 5th 7-segment lamp 1211.

The character string irradiation space 122LA connects a mortar-shaped first character string space 122LA1 opened on the display sheet 121 side, and a storage space 122AS provided on the LED board 123 side with this first character string space 122LA1. It is composed of two second character string spaces 122LA2. Note that the two second character string spaces 122LA2 are spaces in which LED elements 1231 are housed, respectively.

The first character string space 122LA1 is a space defined by a side wall that is inclined at an angle θA with respect to the horizontal plane of the LED board 123, and a bottom surface that extends from the lower end of this side wall along the horizontal plane of the LED board 123. In addition, in this bottom surface, the part connected to the second space 122LA2 for character strings is open.

Here, regarding the length in the longitudinal direction of the bottom, if the length from the side wall to the opening is W5, the length of the opening is W3, and the length from one opening to the other is W7, then the length of the bottom The length in the longitudinal direction is 2×(W5+W3)+W7 (see FIG. 7). As shown in FIG. 7, the length in the longitudinal direction of this bottom surface is shorter than the length W1 in the longitudinal direction of the opening on the display sheet 121 side. From this, it can be said that W3, W5, and W7 are all smaller than W1. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, W7 is larger than W5. Although FIG. 7 shows the relationship W3>W7, it may be W3=W7 or W3<W7.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7 regarding the height of each part, the height of the first space 122LA1 for character strings is H5, the height of the second space 122LA2 for character strings is H2, the height of the storage space 122AS is H6, Then, the height H4 of the reflector 122 becomes H5+H2+H6. From this, it can be said that H5, H2, and H6 are all smaller than H4.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, if there is a gap of height G1 between the surface of the LED board 123 (the surface on the front side of the LED unit 120) and the reflector 122, the first space for character strings from the LED board 123 The height H1 to the bottom of 122LA1 is H2+G1. This H1 is also smaller than H4. Note that when G1 is 0 (when there is no gap), H1 and H2 are the same.

Further, assuming that the height of the LED element 1231 is H3, all of H2, H1, and H4 are designed to be larger than H3. Moreover, the height H5 of the first character string space 122LA1 is designed to be larger than the height H6 of the storage space 122AS.

If the two LED elements 1231 are turned on as they are, their light overlaps in the center, causing unevenness and making it difficult for the entire character string to shine evenly. In the above configuration, since the second space 122LA2 for character strings is defined in each of the two LED elements 1231, it is possible to prevent uneven light from occurring.

[About the configuration of the LED unit 120 (4)]
Hereinafter, the structure of the part where each segment of 7 segments is displayed will be explained using FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the segment irradiation space 122LB shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Note that in this figure, the left-right direction is the longitudinal direction of the segment irradiation space 122LB and coincides with the horizontal plane of the LED board 123. In this FIG. 8, the reflector 122 is shown by hatching downward to the right, and the LED board 123 is shown by hatching downward to the left.

The segment irradiation space 122LB is a mortar-shaped segment first space 122LB1 that is open on the display sheet 121 side, and a segment first space that connects this segment first space 122LB1 and a storage space 122AS provided on the LED board 123 side. It is composed of two spaces 122LB2. Note that the second segment space 122LB2 is a space in which the LED element 1231 is housed.

The first segment space 122LB1 is defined by a side wall that is inclined at an angle θB with respect to the horizontal plane of the LED board 123, and a bottom surface that extends from the lower end of this side wall along the horizontal plane of the LED board 123. In addition, in this bottom surface, the part connected to the second space 122LB2 for segments is open.

Here, regarding the length of the bottom in the longitudinal direction, if the length from the side wall to the opening is W6, and the length of the opening is W4, then the length in the longitudinal direction of the bottom is 2 x W6 + W4 (see Figure 8). . As shown in FIG. 8, the length in the longitudinal direction of this bottom surface is shorter than the length W2 in the longitudinal direction of the opening on the display sheet 121 side. From this, it can be said that both W4 and W6 are smaller than W2. Note that W6 may be 0.

Regarding the height of each part, the height of the first space for character strings 122LA1 in FIG. 7 and the first space for segments 122LB1 in FIG. 8 are the same, and the second space for character strings 122LA2 in FIG. and the height of the second segment space 122LB2 in FIG. 8 are the same. In FIG. 8, the same reference numerals are used for locations at the same height as those explained in FIG. Note that the height relationship explained in FIG. 7 is the same in FIG. 8 as well.

In addition, in FIG. 7, regarding the length in the longitudinal direction of the character string irradiation space 122LA for displaying the character string, the length W1 of the opening on the display sheet 121 side, the length W3 of the opening, and the length W3 of the opening from the side wall. Although the length W5 has been explained, when compared with the length in the longitudinal direction of the segment irradiation space 122LB for displaying segments in FIG. 8, the relationships are W1>W2, W3>W4, and W5>W6. There is.

Furthermore, in FIG. 7, it has been explained that the angle of the side wall forming the character string illumination space 122LA for displaying the character string is inclined by an angle θA with respect to the horizontal plane of the LED board 123, but the segments in FIG. When compared with the angle θB of the side wall forming the segment irradiation space 122LB for display, the relationship is θA<θB.

[About the configuration for fixing the LED board 123 to the reflector 122]
In FIG. 6A, it has been described that the LED board 123 is stored in the storage space of the reflector 122, but a configuration for fixing the LED board 123 to the reflector 122 in this state will be described.

9(a) is a photograph taken from the back side of the reflector 122 without the LED board 123 housed therein, and FIG. 9(b) is a photograph taken from the back side of the LED board 123. FIG. 9(a) shows ten caulking pins 122SP provided on the reflector 122, and FIG. 9(b) shows caulking holes 123SH formed at locations corresponding to these caulking pins 122P. It has been shown that When storing the LED board 123 in the reflector 122, these caulking pins 122SP are passed through the corresponding caulking holes 123SH, and then the heads of the caulking pins 122SP protruding from the back side of the LED substrate 123 are heated to deform into a flat shape. Thus, the LED board 123 is fixed to the reflector 122. In addition, in this embodiment, since the crimped portion that has been deformed into a flat shape is white (the reflector 122 is white) while the back surface of the LED board 123 is black, the fixed portion can be easily distinguished.

Note that in this embodiment, in addition to the caulking pins 122SP and the caulking holes 123SH provided along the outer periphery of the LED board 123, the caulking pins 122SP and the caulking holes 123SH are provided along the outer periphery of the LED board 123. (see area A1). If the LED board 123 is not fixed in this area A1, the inner area of the LED board 123 may float from the reflector 122. However, by fixing the LED board 123 to the reflector 122 in the inner area, , it is possible to make this situation less likely to occur.

In addition, in this embodiment, in order to prevent the LED board 123 from being upside down or upside down relative to the reflector 122 (incorrect positional relationship), the caulking pin 122SP and The caulking holes 123SH are configured so as not to be aligned.

FIG. 10A is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the LED board 123 is fixed to the reflector 122. In FIG. 10(a), the head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP (with a diameter of W8) of the reflector 122 that has passed through the caulking hole 123SH of the LED board 123 is flat (with a diameter of W8). The thickness is W9, which is larger than W8). Note that when deforming the head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP, it may be brought into close contact with the LED board 123, but if it becomes necessary to remove the LED board 123 from the reflector 122 later, this removal work will be difficult. . Therefore, in this embodiment, a gap is provided between the LED board 123 and the flat head 122SPH so that the removal work can be easily performed. Note that, assuming that the size of this gap is H7, it is preferable that the size of H7 is large enough to fit a cutting edge of a nipper or the like. Furthermore, the presence of this gap prevents contact with through holes, wiring patterns, etc. on the board, making it difficult for the conductivity of the LED board 123 to be adversely affected. In addition, since the reflector 122 is made of resin such as ASA or PPO, the deformed head 122SPH is thinner than the main body portion of the reflector 122 (the portion located between the LED board 123 and the display sticker 121). Therefore, the head 122SPH can be destroyed more easily than the main body.

Note that when the head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP is deformed, its shape is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. It may be in the form of FIG. 10(b) shows that the diameter of the head 122SPH of the crimping pin 122SP increases as it protrudes from the crimping hole 123SH. The head 122SPH of the crimping pin 122SP has a trapezoidal shape in this cross-sectional view, and the head 122SPH of the crimping pin 122SP has a shape that is inclined from the root portion 122SPB toward the tip. The gap between the head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP and the LED board 123 becomes narrower as it gets closer to the root portion 122SPB of the caulking pin 122SP (α>β). Can be suppressed. Furthermore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 10(b), the caulking pin 122SP extends from the through hole of the LED board 123 toward the tip (the rod-shaped portion does not extend from the through hole, and an inverted tapered tip is formed). However, as in the example shown in FIG. 10A, a rod-shaped portion may extend from the through hole of the LED board 123, and an inverted tapered tip may be formed at the end of the rod-shaped portion.

As shown in FIG. 10(a), when the length of the LED element 1231 in the longitudinal direction is W10, and the diameter of the through hole 123TH of the LED board 123 is W11, W9>W8>W10>W11. The relationship is Furthermore, when the height of the LED element 1231 is H3, the relationship H7>H3 holds. In this embodiment, a through hole is used as an example, but it is not limited to this, and may be a via hole or a test point. Similarly to the through hole, the crimping pin 122SP and the crimping hole 123SH can be used as a via hole or a test point. A similar effect can be obtained by making the diameter larger than the point. In this way, by making the diameter of the caulking pin or the caulking hole larger than the diameter of the hole that allows electrical conduction on the board, it is possible to reduce errors during assembly to prevent incorrect insertion. Note that the head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP, which is the tip portion after deformation, and the interlayer conduction portions such as through holes, via holes, and test points do not overlap in plan view. This is to prevent the interlayer conduction portion from being blocked by the caulking pin 122SP, resulting in a decrease in conductivity, or from the interlayer conduction portion becoming invisible. Note that even if they partially overlap in a plan view, a gap is formed so that they do not come into contact at the interlayer conduction portion, so it is possible to prevent a decrease in conductivity.

[About the LED board 123]
11(a) is a diagram showing the front surface of the LED board 123 (the surface facing the front side of the LED unit 120), and FIG. FIG.

In the surface shown in FIG. 11(a), the green of the board is shown in a gray color scheme, and the wiring pattern on this board is shown with white lines. Further, a rectangle connected to this wiring pattern indicates an LED element 1231, and a white circle on the wiring pattern indicates a through hole TH. On the other hand, on the surface shown in FIG. 11(b), the lower left part where the model number is displayed and the part where the connector 124 is provided are painted green, and the other parts are painted black. By making the back surface of the LED board 123 black, light from light emitting means other than the LED board 123 can be absorbed, making it difficult to be influenced by other light. Note that for the above model numbers, the workload may be reduced by providing the LED unit 120 in a position where it can be visually recognized without disassembling it (for example, on the outer periphery of the reflector 122 or on the back surface of the LED board 123). Also shown are the caulking hole 123SH, the through hole TH, and the connector 124 located at locations corresponding to FIG. 11(a). Note that there is no problem even if the surface of the substrate is also painted black, and when the surface is also painted black, the contrast with the color of the LED light emission (for example, red) can be emphasized. In addition, since a small amount of current is generated even when the lights are off, it is possible to make the slight lighting (so-called ghost lighting) of the LED caused by such a small current less noticeable, thereby avoiding situations where players are mislead due to erroneous light emission. can do. Further, the surface of the substrate may be painted white or milky white, and in this case, the light emission of the LED can be made more noticeable.

In FIG. 11(a), the distance between the LED elements 1231 corresponding to the part where a character string is displayed (see S1 in the figure) is greater than the interval between the LED elements 1231 corresponding to each segment of the 7-segment (see S1 in the figure). (see S2) is larger.

In this embodiment, among the caulking holes 123SH on the outer periphery, there are places where the surrounding wiring pattern bypasses the caulking holes 123SH and passes inside the LED board 123 (for example, the second from the left in the bottom row caulking hole 123SH). In this way, when the caulking hole is close to the edge of the board, the wiring pattern is placed inside the caulking hole rather than outside, and as a result, the strength of the substrate itself is weakened at the location where the caulking hole 123SH is provided on the outer periphery. Therefore, damage such as cracks is likely to occur, but with the above configuration, even if damage occurs on the outer circumferential side, it can be made difficult to affect the conduction of electricity. Note that this does not apply if the caulking hole is located at a location other than the edge of the board (located near the center of the board). In other words, if the crimping hole is close to the edge of the board, the wiring pattern will bypass the crimping hole and away from the edge of the board, but if the crimping hole is not at the edge of the board (near the center of the board) ), the caulking hole may be detoured so as to approach the edge of the substrate, or the caulking hole may be detoured so as to approach the center of the substrate.

[About the circuit of LED element 1231]
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a circuit of the LED element 1231. In this FIG. 12, six columns of LED elements 1231 are shown in order from the left: a first column C1, a second column C2, a third column C3, a fourth column C4, a fifth column C5, and a sixth column C6. .

The group of LED elements 1231 in the first row C1 is composed of seven LED elements 1231 corresponding to the first 7-segment lamp 1201 and one LED element 1231 corresponding to the first dot lamp 1202, and these light emitting means A group of these areas forms one area (lighting area).

The group of LED elements 1231 in the second row C2 is composed of seven LED elements 1231 corresponding to the second 7-segment lamp 1205 and one LED element 1231 corresponding to the second dot lamp 1206. A group of light emitting means forms one area (lighting area).

Furthermore, the group of LED elements 1231 in the third column C3 is composed of seven LED elements 1231 corresponding to the third 7-segment lamp 1207 and one LED element 1231 corresponding to the third dot lamp 1208. A group of light emitting means forms one area (lighting area).

Furthermore, the group of LED elements 1231 in the fourth column C4 includes seven LED elements 1231 corresponding to the fourth seventh segment lamp 1210 and one LED element 1231 corresponding to the upper lamp 1203. These light emitting means are arranged with other lighting areas in between, forming a plurality of lighting areas (the area of the 47th segment lamp 1210 and the area of the upper lamp 1203).

Furthermore, the group of LED elements 1231 in the fifth column C5 includes seven LED elements 1231 corresponding to the 57th segment lamp 1211 and one LED element 1231 corresponding to the lower lamp 1204. These light emitting means are arranged with other lighting areas in between, forming a plurality of lighting areas (the area of the 57th segment lamp 1211 and the area of the lower lamp 1204).

Furthermore, the group of LED elements 1231 in the sixth column C6 includes six LED elements 1231 corresponding to the bet number lamp 1209 (two for each character of "3BET", "2BET", and "1BET"). , two LED elements 1231 corresponding to the bet enable lamp 1212, two LED elements 1231 corresponding to the start lamp 1213, and two LED elements 1231 corresponding to the replay lamp 1214. These light emitting means are arranged with other lighting areas in between, and form a plurality of lighting areas (the area of the bet number lamp 1209, the area consisting of the bet possible lamp 1212, the start lamp 1213, and the replay lamp 1214). It has become a thing. Note that in this sixth column C6, two LED elements 1231 are connected in series for each character string. The entire sixth column C6 has a configuration in which a plurality of parts in which two LED elements 1231 are connected in series are connected in parallel.

The LED unit 120 is connected via a connector 124 to a drive circuit 120C controlled by a main control unit that controls the progress of the game. FIG. 12 shows the state of wiring between this drive circuit 120C and the LED element 1231. For example, the wiring on the anode side is a common line for each of the first column C1 to the sixth column C6. Furthermore, there are also portions of the wiring on the cathode side that serve as common lines for the LED elements 1231 in the first column C1 to the sixth column C6. The drive circuit 120C is configured to sequentially supply power to each of the first to sixth columns C1 to C6 at predetermined intervals.

In the circuit shown in FIG. 12, if the common line responsible for supplying power to the first column C1 to the third column C3 is damaged, an abnormality will occur in the corresponding 7-segment lamp and the dot lamp adjacent thereto. On the other hand, if the common wire responsible for supplying power to the fourth row C4 and the fifth row C5 is damaged, the corresponding 47th segment lamp 1210, 57th segment lamp 1211 and the upper lamp 1203 or lower An abnormality will occur in the lamp 1204. In a configuration where the wiring is such that a common line exists for the light emitting elements at distant locations, as in the fourth column C4 and fifth column C5, the locations where abnormalities occur will be dispersed, and abnormalities will occur. It can be made easier to notice.

Further, the 47th segment lamp 1210 and the upper lamp 1203 corresponding to the fourth column C4 are used to display credit information, and the latter to output BB signals and RB signals. It is used for display. It can be said that this configuration is wired so that a common line exists for the light emitting elements used to display different information. Note that the 57th segment lamp 1211 and the lower lamp 1204 corresponding to the fifth row C5 have a similar configuration. With this configuration, if the common line is damaged, an abnormality will occur when different pieces of information are displayed, making it easier to notice the abnormality. In this embodiment, the light emitting elements for displaying different information are provided separately, but the light emitting elements may be provided adjacently.

Further, in the first row C1, one common line is provided for a total of eight LED elements 1231, including a first seven-segment lamp 1201 and a first dot lamp 1202 adjacent thereto. On the other hand, since no dot lamp is adjacent to the 47th segment lamp 1210 corresponding to the fourth column C4, a configuration may be adopted in which a total of seven LED elements 1231 are provided with one common line. However, there are cases where more compact wiring is desired due to the board space, and from this point of view, in this embodiment, as shown in the fourth column C4, a total of eight 7th segment lamps 1210 and upper lamps 1203 are used. A configuration in which one common line is provided for one LED element 1231 is adopted. Note that the same applies to the fifth column C5.

In the above configuration, the light emitting elements of the display area A (for example, the first 7-segment lamp 1201 and the first dot lamp 1202 adjacent thereto, or the third 7-segment lamp 1207 and the third dot lamp 1208 adjacent thereto) The number Na of light emitting elements is compared with the number Nb of light emitting elements in display area B (for example, the 47th segment lamp 1210), and if Na>Nb, one common line A is connected to the light emitting elements corresponding to display area A. The above requirements can be met by providing a configuration in which one common line B is provided by adding another light emitting element (for example, the upper lamp 1203) to the light emitting element corresponding to the display area B. There are cases. Note that there is a possibility that the amount of light will decrease as the number of light emitting elements increases with respect to the common line, but in order to avoid having to adjust the light amount of these light emitting elements (or to make it easier), It is preferable that the number of light emitting elements connected does not exceed the number of light emitting elements connected to the common line A. For example, it is conceivable to add the upper lamp 1203 and the lower lamp 1204 to the sixth column C6, but in this case, there is a concern that the number of light emitting elements for one common line will increase and the amount of light will decrease. Further, in the sixth column C6, two LED elements 1231 connected in series are used for each character string, and one LED element 1231 such as the upper lamp 1203 and the lower lamp 1204 is used in the sixth column C6. If they are connected in parallel, it will be necessary to adjust the amount of light, which may increase the workload. For example, if the light emitting elements in the sixth column C6 unintentionally emit light due to the current looping around, a separate adjustment operation is required. Therefore, when adding a light emitting element, it is preferable that the configuration is adjusted not only to the total number of light emitting elements for one common line but also to the number of other light emitting elements to be connected in parallel.

In addition, in the above explanation, when providing a common line, corresponding light emitting elements are arranged separately, light emitting elements carrying different information are used, display area B has fewer light emitting elements than display area A, and other light emitting elements are used. Although configurations from different viewpoints, such as adding , have been described, these configurations may be combined with each other.

[Regarding the position of the crimping hole and crimping pin (1)]
FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the positions of the caulking holes and the connector on the back surface of the LED board 123 (the surface that becomes the back side of the LED unit 120). Note that although the drawings are shown in white in order to clearly indicate numbering, virtual extension lines, etc., the back surface of the LED board 123 may be black as in the example shown in FIG. 11.

In the LED unit 120, ten caulking holes 123SH formed in the LED board 123 are fixed by ten caulking pins 122SP of the reflector 122. That is, the location where the caulking hole 123SH is formed is the location where the LED board 123 is fixed.

Regarding these fixing locations, there are those located closer to the center of the board (inward) and those located further away from the center of the board (outer). Note that the outer side can be said to be the side farther from the center of the substrate, or the side closer to the corner of the substrate. For example, any one of the caulking holes SHa1 to SHa4 is located more inward than any one of the caulking holes SHb1 to SHb4. Further, for example, any one of the caulking holes SHc1 to SHc2 is located further inward than any one of the caulking holes SHb1 to SHb4. As described above, the LED board 123 has some fixed locations that have a positional relationship between a first fixed location and a second fixed location that is closer to (inward) the center of the board. When the cable of the connector 124 is inserted or removed, wobbling occurs at the fixed locations of the LED board 123, but this wobbling can be suppressed by having the fixed locations in the above-mentioned positional relationship. It should be noted that the positional relationship of these fixing locations can be said to be one located along the periphery of the substrate (closer to the outside) and one located inside (closer to the center) than the fixing locations located along the periphery of the substrate. In this way, while securing the overall fixation of the LED unit 120 at the fixing points located toward the outside and closer to the outer periphery of the board, the wobbling of the connector 124 during cable insertion and removal is suppressed at the fixing points located closer to the center. be able to.

In addition, the positional relationship between the first and second fixing points is adopted with the one closer to the center in the longitudinal direction of the board being inward and the one farther from the center (closer to the edge) being outer. Good too. In this example, along the longitudinal direction of the LED board 123, the caulking holes SHa1 and SHa4 are located at the innermost position, and the caulking holes SHb1 to SHb4 are located at the outermost position. When such a positional relationship is adopted, rattling can also be suppressed.

In addition, the positional relationship between the first and second fixing points is adopted with the one closer to the center being the inner side and the one farther from the center (closer to the edge) being the outer side in the short direction of the board. Good too. In this example, along the lateral direction of the LED board 123, the caulking holes SHc1 and SHc2 are located at the innermost position, and the caulking holes SHa1-4, SHb1-4 are located at the outermost position. When such a positional relationship is adopted, rattling can also be suppressed.

In addition, although the above-described positional relationship of the fixing locations distinguishes between the inside and the outside with respect to the center of the board, the same applies to the positional relationship based on the connector provided on the board. This will be explained in detail below.

Regarding the fixing locations of the LED board 123, there are those located closer to (inward) the connector 124 of the board and those located further away from the connector 124 (outer). For example, any one of the crimping holes SHa1 to 4 is located closer (inward) to the connector 124 than any one of the crimping holes SHb1 to SHb4 (for example, distance x1> x2, x3). In this way, the LED board 123 is fixed at some locations in a positional relationship between a first fixing location and a second fixing location closer to (inward) the connector 124 . When the cable of the connector 124 is inserted and removed, the fixing location of the LED board 123 may wobble, but by having the fixing location near the connector 124, this wobbling can be suppressed and the cable can be inserted and removed reliably. can. Further, at a fixed position far from the connector 124, it can be easily recognized that the fixing is done by the caulking pin 122SP. Note that the distance between the fixed point and the connector 124 used when determining such a positional relationship may be the distance from the extension of the side of the connector 124 that is closest to the fixed point. For example, in FIG. 13, distances X1 and X2 may be used instead of distances x1 and x2.

Next, the position of the connector 124 on the LED board 123 will be explained. FIG. 13 shows that the connector 124 is provided at a position shifted to the right from the center in the longitudinal direction. By arranging the connector 124 eccentrically with respect to the longitudinal direction of the LED board 123 in this manner, it may be possible to easily remove the LED board 123 from the reflector 122. For example, if the caulking pin 122SP on the side where the connector 124 is provided (the right side in FIG. 13) is removed, one side of the LED board 123 (the right side in FIG. 13) can be lifted by pinching the connector 124. At this time, even if the caulking pin 122SP on the side where the connector 124 is not provided (the left side in FIG. 13) is not removed, the LED substrate 123 can be removed by simply peeling off the lifted LED board 123 (the caulking pin 122SP will be destroyed). It can be removed from the reflector 122. In this way, by arranging the connector 124 eccentrically with respect to the LED board 123 in at least one of the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction from the center, it is possible to reduce the working time when removing the LED board 123. can.

Next, the difference in size and shape between the connector 124 and the head of the caulking pin 122SP will be explained. In the LED board 123, the tip of the caulking pin 122SP is circular, whereas the connector 124 is rectangular, and these shapes are dissimilar. In this way, by making the shapes of the tip of the caulking pin 122SP and the connector 124 dissimilar (for example, approximately circular and polygonal), the operator can be instructed to "cut only the round part" during disassembly. , the shape can be limited and specified. Furthermore, it is easy for the operator to distinguish between the connector 124 and the caulking pin 122SP, making it difficult to make work errors. In addition, since the connector 124 is larger than the tip of the caulking pin 122SP, it is possible to give instructions with a limited size, such as "cut only small pieces," and it is easy for the operator to distinguish between the caulking pins 122SP. , making it difficult for work errors to occur. In particular, when the number of pins in the connector 124 is small, the size of the connector becomes small, which may make it difficult for some workers to distinguish it from the crimping pin 122SP. They are made to have dissimilar shapes and are made smaller to make them easier to distinguish.

[Regarding the position of the crimping hole and crimping pin (2)]
FIG. 14(a) is a diagram showing a modification of the LED board.

The LED board 223 shown in FIG. 14(a) has a different aspect ratio from the LED board 123 shown in FIG. 13. Furthermore, the connector 224 provided on the LED board 223 is smaller than the connector 124 in FIG. 13 and has a different shape. Note that the configuration of caulking by the caulking hole 223SH and the caulking pin 222SP inserted therein is the same as the configuration of the LED board 123 described with reference to FIG. 10 and the like.

Like the LED board 123 shown in FIG. 13, the LED board 223 shown in FIG. 14(a) has a fixing location (crimped hole 223SH) near the connector 224, and can suppress rattling. Furthermore, in this example, when the LED board 223 is divided into four parts vertically and horizontally, there are more fixed points in one area of the connector 224 than in other areas, and the structure is configured to further suppress wobbling. . In addition, the "other area" referred to here refers to the other side (at least the other side in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction) with respect to at least one side in the longitudinal direction or the lateral direction where the connector 224 is arranged. It means. Specifically, it may be the area on the other side in the longitudinal direction (upper left area) with respect to the area where the connector 224 is arranged (upper right area) among the areas divided vertically and horizontally into four, and the area on the other side in the width direction may be the area on the other side (upper left area). (lower right region), or the other region in the longitudinal and lateral directions (lower left region). Note that this example is not limited to a configuration in which when the LED board 223 is divided into two in the longitudinal direction, there are more fixing points in the area where the connector 224 is located than in other areas, or when the LED board 223 is divided into two in the width direction. Also in the case of a configuration in which there are more fixed locations in the region where the connector 224 is present than in other regions, rattling can be suppressed.

Note that, unlike the example in FIG. 14(a), if the connector 224 is configured to have fewer fixed points in one area than in other areas, only the fixed points around the connector can be destroyed when disassembling the board. can be peeled off, reducing work time.

Furthermore, in the example of FIG. 13, it has been explained that by arranging the connector 124 eccentrically with respect to the longitudinal direction of the LED board 123, the LED board 123 can be easily removed from the reflector 122. In this case, the connector 224 is eccentrically arranged not only in the longitudinal direction (horizontal direction) but also in the lateral direction (vertical direction). Even when the connector 224 is arranged as shown in FIG. 14(a), the LED board 223 can be easily removed. In the example shown in FIG. 14(a), the arrangement is eccentric in both the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction, but the arrangement is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that the arrangement is eccentric in at least one direction. It may be eccentric to one side but centrally located in the lateral direction, or the opposite arrangement (eccentric to one side in the lateral direction and centrally located in the longitudinal direction). It's okay.

In addition, in the example of FIG. 13, the shapes of the caulking and the connector 124 are not similar, and the connector 124 is larger than the caulking, making it easier to give instructions to the operator during disassembly. Although it has been described that the operator is less likely to make a work error, the LED board 223 shown in FIG. 14(a) also has a similar configuration and has the same effect. The connector 124 shown in FIG. 13 has 14 pins, but the connector 224 shown in FIG. 14(a) has 2 pins, making it a smaller connector and more effective. .

The connector 224 shown in FIG. 14(a) is soldered to the LED board 223. This soldering location includes not only the terminal portion but also a portion of both side surfaces, and this is to reinforce the strength of the connector when the cable is inserted and removed. In FIG. 14(b), a part of the soldered side surface is indicated by the symbol PA. Note that there is a gap between the connector 224 and the LED board 223 except for this portion, and FIG. 14(b) shows an area PB surrounding this portion with a dotted circle. The connector 224 shown in FIG. 14(b) is smaller than the connector 124 in FIG. 13 and has fewer fixing points by soldering, so it is configured to solder parts of both sides to reinforce the strength when inserting and removing the cable. We are hiring.

That is, in the example of FIG. 14(a), the tip of the deformed caulking pin 222SP has a gap over the entire circumference, and the connector 224 has a gap in a part of the entire circumference (the location indicated by the symbol PA in FIG. 14(b)). There is no. With this configuration, while it is possible to easily insert a knife into the gap at the tip of the deformed caulking pin 222SP, it is not possible to easily insert a knife into the connector 224, so the connector 224 may be accidentally cut. This will make it easier to notice your mistakes when you try to do so. In addition, the gap between the connector 224 and the LED board 223 (dimension A between the board and the tip of the deformed caulking pin 222SP) is larger than the gap between the board and the tip of the deformed caulking pin 222SP (dimension A between the substrate and the tip of the deformed caulking pin 222SP). By reducing the dimension B) between the connector 223 and the substrate 223, it is possible to make it even more difficult to insert a knife or the like into the connector 224. Note that the magnitude relationship between these dimensions may be reversed, and dimension A may be smaller than dimension B. In this case, the precision tool for destroying the tip of the deformed caulking pin 222SP will not destroy the connector 224. As a result, it is possible to prevent the connector 224 from being accidentally destroyed.

[Regarding the position of the crimping hole and crimping pin (3)]
In FIG. 9, FIG. 10, etc., a configuration has been described in which the reflector 122 and the LED board 123 are fixed using the caulking pin 122SP and the caulking hole 123SH. An example of the configuration of the crimping pin 122SP and the crimping hole 123SH will be described below with reference to FIG. 15. FIG. 15 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the LED board 123 is fixed to the reflector 122. The lower part of FIG. 15 shows the positional relationship between the crimping pin 122SP and the crimping hole 123SH when viewed from the axial direction of the crimping pin 122SP.

In this example, as shown in the lower diagram of FIG. 15, the diameter of the caulking hole 123SH is larger than the diameter of the caulking pin 122SP (the diameter of the shaft portion of the caulking pin 122SP). In the case of this configuration, the caulking pin 122SP can be easily inserted into and removed from the caulking hole 123SH. Further, when the head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP is heated to deform it, it is possible to prevent the LED board 123 from being damaged by the thermally expanded portion. Further, when vibration is applied to the reflector 122, there is a problem in that the vibration applies stress to the LED board 123, such as bending the LED board 123 via the caulking pin 122SP, or causes damage to the LED board 123. However, in the above example, since there is a gap between the crimping pin 122SP and the crimping hole 123SH, the crimping pin 122SP moves, so that force is less likely to be transmitted to the LED board 123, and the above problem can be made less likely to occur.

Note that there are a plurality of crimping pins 122SP and crimping holes 123SH, and depending on their positional relationship, when the crimping pin 122SP is inserted into the crimping hole 123SH, one of the crimping pins 122SP may always be in contact with the crimping hole 123SH. . For example, when the distance between the centers of the two crimping holes 123SH is longer than the distance between the centers of the two corresponding crimping pins 122SP, when the crimping pin 122SP is inserted into the crimping hole 123SH, the two crimping pins 122SP Both come into contact with the inner wall of the caulking hole 123SH, and the force applied to the reflector 122 is transmitted to the LED board 123, causing stress and the possibility of damage. For this reason, it is preferable that the center of the caulking hole 123SH and the center of the caulking pin 122SP corresponding thereto coincide, but there may be some deviation in these positions, and as a whole, the caulking pin 122SP is not axially located inside the caulking hole 123SH. It suffices if it is movable in a direction perpendicular to the direction. In this case, the LED board 123 becomes movable with respect to the reflector 122, and problems such as applying stress to the LED board 123 or causing damage to the LED board 123 can be prevented. Moreover, the LED board 123 is movable with respect to the reflector 122, which means that the LED board 123 is movable within the range of the diameter of the caulking hole 123SH. It can be said that the relative positional relationship with the reflector 122 is variable within the range of the size of the reflector 122. Furthermore, since there is a gap between the head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP and the LED board 123, it can be said that the LED board 123 is movable within the size of the gap. It can also be said that the relative positional relationship with the reflector 122 is variable within the range (within the range of the gap between the LED board 123 and the deformed tip portion 122SPH).

Note that the caulking hole 123SH is a hole for caulking, and copper foil is not applied to either the periphery or the inner surface of the hole. For this reason, it is less likely that they will be mistaken for test points, lands, etc. In particular, in a configuration where the caulking pin 122SP is thinner than the inner diameter of the caulking hole 123SH, it is easier to understand that copper foil is not applied even when the caulking pin 122SP is inserted, and misidentification can be made more difficult to occur.

[About the outer frame of the LED board]
The frame surrounding the outer periphery of the LED board 123 will be described below.

As explained in the example of FIG. 6, in the LED unit 120, a space for accommodating the LED board 123 is formed in the reflector 122 on the back side, and when the LED board 123 is fitted into the reflector 122, the LED unit When viewing the connector 120 from either the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, the connector 124 is visible, but the LED board 123 is not visible. At this time, the outer periphery of the LED board 123 is surrounded by the frame formed on the reflector 122. This frame portion is a wall-shaped portion that protrudes from the LED board 123 toward the back side. In FIG. 7, this protrusion is indicated by the symbol S1. This configuration will be specifically explained using FIG. 15 again.

FIG. 15 shows a frame 122FR formed on the reflector 122 and surrounding the outer periphery of the LED board 123. Regarding the height of the frame 122FR, as shown in FIG. 15, the height of the frame 122FR from the back surface of the LED board 123 is (a), the height of the frame 122FR from the tip of the caulking pin 122SP is (b), Assuming that the height from the back surface of the LED board 123 to the tip of the caulking pin 122SP is (c), and the height of the gap between the LED substrate 123 and the flat head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP is (d), (a )>(b)>(c)>(d).

As shown in FIG. 15, the frame portion 122FR is higher than the LED board 123 (protrudes toward the back side) and is also higher than the head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP. With this configuration, when the slot machine 100 is assembled or disassembled, troubles such as harnesses and cables getting caught in the gap between the LED board 123 and the flat head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP can be prevented from occurring.

In the above example, the frame portion 122FR is formed in a part of the reflector 122, but the frame portion may be higher than the head portion 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP. Therefore, for example, the frame portion may be a separate member from the reflector 122, and for example, a part of a transparent cover member capable of housing the entire LED unit 120 may play the role of the frame portion 122FR. Good too.

[About the LED board cover]
In FIG. 9, FIG. 10, etc., a configuration has been described in which the reflector 122 and the LED board 123 are fixed using the caulking pin 122SP and the caulking hole 123SH. Here, the LED board 123 may be provided with a cover that protects the back side of the board. An example of the configuration of the LED board 123 provided with a cover that protects the back side of the board will be described below with reference to FIG. 16. FIG. 16 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which an LED board 123 equipped with a cover 123CV that protects the back side of the board is fixed to a reflector 122.

In the example of FIG. 16, the back side of the LED board 123 except for the portion where the connector 124 is provided is covered with a cover 123CV. Note that the cover 123CV corresponds to an example of a member. Further, in this example, the caulking hole 123SH is formed to penetrate the LED board 123 and the cover 123CV. In the cover 123CV, the height of the cover 123CV is one step lower and a recess 123DE is formed around the area where the caulking hole 123SH is formed. As explained in FIG. 10 etc., the head 122SPH of the staking pin 122SP protruding from the staking hole 123SH is deformed into a flat shape, but in this example, the deformed head 122SPH of the staking pin 122SP is housed in the recess 123DE. ing. In other words, the cover 123CV has a concave portion 123DE that surrounds the entire circumference of the deformed tip (head 122SPH) of the caulking pin 122SP at the location where the caulking pin 122SP is inserted. This prevents the cable from easily entering the area. In this recess 123DE, a gap is provided between the caulking pin 122SP and the flat head 122SPH. When it becomes necessary to remove the LED board 123 from the reflector 122, the removal work can be facilitated by inserting a flathead screwdriver or the like into this gap.

In addition, in FIG. 16, the dimension of the gap between the innermost part of the recess 123DE and the flat head 122SPH of the swage pin 122SP is (x), and the distance between the height (depth) of the recess 123DE and the flat head of the swage pin 122SP is (x). The dimension excluding the height up to 122SPH is shown as (y), and the height dimension from the cover 123CV to the frame portion 122FR is shown as (z). Among these, (x) and (y) have a relationship of (y)>(x), but (y)<(x) may also be satisfied. Further, regarding (z), (z) may be equal to 0. Note that the connector 124 has a higher dimension than the frame portion 122FR. In addition, in FIG. 16, the height of the flat head 122SPH of the caulking pin 122SP is shown without alphabetical numbering.

[About the color scheme of the LED unit]
In the above description, an example has been described in which the reflector 122 is white and the back side of the LED board 123 is black, but the color scheme of the LED board 123 and the connector 124 will be described below with reference to FIG. 17. FIG. 17 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the slot machine 100 viewed from the side.

In the slot machine 100, the front door 102 is opened when performing internal maintenance. For example, although the main control boards shown in FIGS. 17(a) and 17(b) are located at the back of the open front door 102 and are dimly lit, they are located directly facing the operator, making it easy to insert and remove cables. is not that difficult. On the other hand, in the LED unit 120 shown in FIG. 17(a), the back surface (the surface where the connector 124 is provided) faces diagonally downward, so the cable is also inserted diagonally downward. . When working on this LED unit 120, the user must look into the open front door 102 from below, and depending on the installation angle, it may be difficult for light to hit the LED unit 120, making it difficult to visually recognize the target location. In the case of the LED unit 120 shown in FIG. 17(b), since it is located directly facing the operator on the back side of the open front door 102, the cable insertion/removal work is easier than in FIG. 17(a).

In the case of FIG. 17(a), the target location may be made easier to visually recognize by adopting a color with high brightness, such as white or milky white, as the color of the connector. On the other hand, if the color of the connector is low in brightness, such as black or gray, it is not recommended because it will be difficult to visually recognize. At least, the color may be red, blue, yellow, or green, as long as it is brighter than black or gray, and these colors may also be easily recognized. Further, in order to make the color of the connector more visible, a color having higher brightness than, for example, the color of the LED board 123 (or cover 123CV) may be adopted. Further, for example, a color having higher brightness than the color of the connector of the main control board may be adopted. In addition, when it is provided in the position shown in FIG. 17(b), it is not necessary to adopt the above color scheme, but when it is adopted, visibility can be improved and work efficiency can be improved.

Furthermore, the colors of the connector 124 and the caulking pin 122SP (head 122SPH) may be different, and the colors of the connector 124, the caulking pin 122SP (head 122SPH) and the back surface of the LED board 123 (or cover 123CV) may be made different. In these cases, the caulking pin 122SP (head 122SPH) can be easily distinguished, and work errors when removing the LED board 123 can be made less likely to occur. Furthermore, the color of the caulking pin 122SP (head 122SPH) may be brighter than the color of the connector 124. In this configuration, the crimping pin 122SP is conspicuous, thereby impressing the presence of sealing by the crimping pin 122SP on unauthorized persons, which can act as a deterrent against fraudulent activities.
