2, 53) as close as possible, that is, the wiring is shortened, the opening 3 is mounted in the game board storage 6
It is desirable to arrange it at a position projecting below 0. When the wiring is shortened in this way, noise that enters the wiring can be reduced. Further, since the third connector 56 connected to the ball discharging unit 25 and the safe ball processing unit 27 is also arranged downward at the lower edge of the control device installation section 14, the same effect can be obtained.

Further, since the first connectors 50, 51 and the second connectors 52, 53 of the control device installation section 14 are standardized, standardized, standardized and unified in advance,
Even if the game board 7 and the control devices 40 and 41 are exchanged, it is not necessary to connect a large number of different connectors depending on the model as in the conventional case, and the same wiring connection work is performed every time. Therefore, even an unskilled operator can surely connect wires without causing wiring mistakes. Further, by unifying the connectors, the control devices 40 and 41 of different models can be installed by the same operation without any trouble. Therefore, it is possible to easily convert the control signal into a unified command or to provide a spare empty pin so as to correspond to different models. If the accessory control device 40 and the ball ejection control device 41 are installed in the control device installation 14, the wiring for connecting the both control devices 40 and 41 has already been made. Since it is not necessary to separately perform the work of connecting both control devices, the wiring work can be simplified.

Further, in the control device installation section 14 in the present embodiment, the connectors 82 and 83 are connected only by sliding the control devices 40 and 41 into storage, so that the mounting and removal work of the control devices 40 and 41 is performed. It is easy, and since two types of control devices, that is, the control device 40 for controlling the accessory and the control device 41 for controlling the ball discharge can be centrally installed, it contributes to space saving. Since the number of the control devices 40 and 41 installed in the control device installation unit 14 can be appropriately changed in design, for example, the control device for the launching device can be installed. A lid (not shown) is provided on the insertion opening 42 of the controller installation unit 14.
A tampering may be prevented by providing a seal and attaching a seal to the lid. In this case, it is desirable that the cover member 37 is also welded so that it does not come off, or that a seal is attached.

Although the control devices 40 and 41 in the above-described embodiment only have the electronic devices 81 mounted on the control circuit boards 61 and 62 without being housed in the casing, the control circuit boards 61 and 62, etc. Is stored in the casing, and the connector 8 is inserted through the opening formed on the side surface of the casing.
