Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ball-and-ball game machine provided with a game device such as a variable prize-winning ball device or a variable display device in which a door or a blade member arranged in a ball passage to a winning opening is driven. In particular, it relates to a ball game machine in which the mounting of the parts and the wiring work are streamlined.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a ball game machine, for example, a pachinko game machine using a pachinko ball is widely known. recent years,
As a pachinko game machine, one provided with a so-called variable winning ball device is widely used. As a variable winning ball device, when a pachinko ball wins the starting winning opening, the display content of the variable display device fluctuates and if the display content stops in a specific state, it becomes a big hit and the door of the special winning opening opens for a period satisfying a specific condition There is.

As another example of the variable winning ball device,
Some have large opening and closing blades on the left and right, and the left and right opening and closing blades open and close a predetermined number of times under certain conditions. For example, when a pachinko ball wins the starting winning opening, the left and right opening and closing blades open and close once or twice, and when the pachinko ball passes through the left and right opening and closing blades and wins the specific winning opening, it becomes a big hit and the left and right opening and closing blades dozens. There are things that open and close twice.

In the pachinko gaming machine as described above, a pachinko ball winning at a start winning opening or a specific winning opening is detected, a variable display device or a variable winning ball device is driven, or a lamp is blinked to display a big hit. A game control board is used. Further, the variable winning display device and the variable winning ball device having the left and right opening / closing blades are arranged substantially in the center of the game board so that the player can easily see. And, in order to efficiently perform the wiring work from the game control board to the pachinko ball detector, the decorative lamp, the solenoid which is the drive source of the variable winning ball device, a relay board for relaying those wires is used.

The above-mentioned game control board and relay board are arranged on the back surface of the game board, but the relay board is arranged near the variable display device and the variable winning ball device arranged at substantially the center of the game board.

[0006]

The gaming device, such as the variable display device and the variable winning ball device having the left and right opening / closing blades, which attracts the most attention of the player with respect to the change of the state, is the center of the game board. Is located in. Also, in order to enhance the decorative effect, these game devices tend to become larger and larger.

On the other hand, the game contents of the pachinko gaming machine have become more and more complicated recently, and the number of wirings between the game control board and various electric devices such as various indicators, detectors and driving devices is increasing. Therefore, if a relay board that relays the wiring of the game control board is arranged beside the game device, the relay board must have an elongated shape, and each such relay board is arranged by the game board. There was a problem that it became difficult to perform wiring work to electrical products.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a ball game machine in which wiring work can be easily performed from a relay board connected to a game control board. Especially.

[0009]

The ball-playing machine of the present invention,
A game device provided with electric parts, a winning ball detector, a light emitting source arranged on a game board, a game control board for controlling the game device and the light emitting source by receiving a signal from the winning ball detector, and the game control board. In a ball game machine including a game device, a winning ball detector, and a relay board for relaying wiring to a light emitting source, a game in which the relay board is arranged at a position closest to the center of the game area on the game board surface. It is attached to the device.

Further, the ball-ball game machine of the present invention is the ball-ball game machine, wherein the relay board is attached to the rear surface of the game machine in an exposed state.

In the present invention, the game device is a device that changes the winning state by its operation. Examples of gaming devices include a variable display device and a variable winning ball device, which will be described in detail later.

[0012]

According to the ball game machine of the present invention, since the relay board is attached to the game device, the relay board is located at the center of the back surface of the game board, and the relay boards are widely dispersed from the relay board to the game board surface. Wiring work for electrical products can be done in an orderly and easy manner.

Further, since the game devices such as the variable display device and the variable winning ball device are electrically driven electric products and are supplied from the same supply department as the relay board which is the same electric product, the game devices are provided. And the relay board can be supplied in a state where they are previously assembled together. By supplying the parts as described above, the number of parts to be assembled is reduced, and the assembling work of the ball game machine can be performed very efficiently.

Further, the relay board mounted in a state of being exposed on the rear surface of the game machine has a large mounting surface for a large game machine, and the relay board can be made large, so that the wiring work is extremely difficult. It will be easier to do. When such a relay board is supplied in a state where it is attached to the game device, the wiring work can be performed on the relay substrate as it is just by mounting the game device, and the number of assembling steps can be reduced.
