Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide gaming machines that can enhance the enjoyment for players. [Solution] In the jackpot game state, after the variable prize entry device 32A (jackpot entry shutter 32Ab) is in the open state, the length of the interval period until the next open state (next round) begins is changed according to the different triggers for the variable prize entry device 32A to transition to the closed state. In particular, when a predetermined state that is less advantageous to the player occurs (a state in which the number of prize balls entering the variable prize entry device 32A does not reach the predetermined maximum number of prize balls and the predetermined maximum open time has elapsed) and the variable prize entry device 32A transitions to the closed state, the interval period in which the variable prize entry device 32A remains in the closed state is shorter than when a specific state that is more advantageous to the player occurs (a state in which the number of prize balls entering the variable prize entry device 32A reaches the predetermined maximum number of prize balls) and the variable prize entry device 32A transitions to the closed state, allowing for a quicker transition to the next open state (next round).

Claims

1. A gaming machine comprising a circuit board that performs predetermined control related to gaming, The aforementioned substrate includes a transmitting unit and a receiving unit capable of receiving data from the transmitting unit, The system comprises a transmitting unit and a specific signal wiring group consisting of a plurality of signal wirings that electrically connect the transmitting unit and the receiving unit, The plurality of signal lines include a first signal line and a second signal line in which at least a portion of the line is provided in parallel with the first signal line. A gaming machine characterized in that the first signal wiring has a linear portion that extends in a straight line, and the corresponding portion of the second signal wiring adjacent to or near the linear portion has a non-linear portion.

2. The gaming machine according to Claim 1, wherein the non-linear portion is a meandering portion and comprises a positive intersection portion extending in the Y direction substantially perpendicular to the X direction which is the extension direction of the second signal wiring, a negative intersection portion extending in the -Y direction which is opposite to the Y direction, and a connecting portion that connects the positive intersection portion and the negative intersection portion.

3. The first signal wiring and the second signal wiring have parallel linear portions that extend parallel to each other, The distance between the first signal wiring and the second signal wiring in the parallel linear portion is greater than the distance between the first signal wiring and the second signal wiring. The gaming machine according to claim 2, characterized in that the distance between the positive intersection portion and the negative intersection portion in the meandering portion of the second signal wiring is larger.

4. A transparent housing means for housing the substrate, The housing means has a wall portion facing the surface of the substrate, and the wall portion is provided with a group of holes consisting of a plurality of holes that allow communication between the inside and outside of the housing means. The gaming machine according to claim 1, characterized in that the group of holes is provided overlapping the non-linear portion.

5. The substrate has a printed portion having a predetermined identification function, The gaming machine according to claim 1, characterized in that the printing portion is provided across or adjacent to the non-linear portion.

6. comprising a separate substrate other than the substrate, The aforementioned substrate and the aforementioned separate substrate are each provided with connectors, and are configured to be electrically connected to the aforementioned substrate by inserting one connector into the other connector. The gaming machine according to claim 1, characterized in that one of the transmitting unit and the receiving unit is the connector on the circuit board side, and the other is another electrical component on the circuit board.
