Gaming machines

Abstract

To provide gaming machines that make it easier to check if the electrical connections are working correctly. [Solution] A gaming machine equipped with a movable body that can be operated by driving a motor electrically connected to a predetermined circuit board via a harness having a second connector connected to a first connector disposed on a predetermined circuit board at one end, wherein the first state is a connected state in which the first connector and the second connector are connected and multiple terminals are in their normal connection positions and the power is off, the second state is a connected state in which the first connector and the second connector are connected but at least some of the multiple terminals are in positions different from the normal connection positions and the power is off, and the third state is a disconnected state in which the first connector and the second connector are not connected and the power is off, and the load on the manual operation of the movable body may differ between the first state and the second state, and the load on the manual operation of the movable body may differ between the first state and the third state.

Claims

1. A gaming machine equipped with a movable body that can be operated by the drive of a motor, The aforementioned gaming machine includes a predetermined circuit board on which a first connector is provided, The motor is electrically connected to the predetermined circuit board via a harness. The harness has a second connector on one end that is provided with a plurality of terminals for connecting to the first connector, The first connection state is defined as the state in which the first connector and the second connector are connected and the plurality of terminals are in their normal connection positions. The state in which the first connector and the second connector are connected, but at least some of the multiple terminals are in a position different from the normal connection position, is defined as the second connection state. The state in which the first connector and the second connector are not connected is defined as the disconnected state. The first connection state and the power outage state in which the power supply to the gaming machine is cut off are defined as the first state. The second connection state and the power outage state in which the power supply to the gaming machine is cut off are defined as the second state. The aforementioned disconnected state and the power supply to the gaming machine being cut off are defined as the third state. The load on the manual operation of the movable body may differ between the first state and the second state. In the first state and the third state, the load on the manual operation of the movable body is different. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.

2. A gaming machine according to claim 1, In the first state, the load on the manual operation of the movable body may be greater than in the second state. The first state presents a greater load on the manual operation of the movable body than the third state presents. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.

3. A gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, The aforementioned predetermined substrate is a substrate on which the first component is arranged, The motor has multiple coils, In the first state described above, a circuit configuration is established that allows each of the plurality of coils to be accessed via the first component, In the second state described above, the circuit configuration corresponding to any of the plurality of coils is not established. In the third state described above, none of the circuit configurations are met. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
