[0028] On the back side of the first special symbol starting means 17, a management information display section 64 is provided in the approximate center in the left-right direction of the rear wall section 60 of the case section 38, corresponding to the rear side of the first start switch 41, and this management information display section 64 displays the management number of the first special symbol starting means 17 and other management information. In addition to the management information display section 64, the rear wall section 60 of the case section 38 is provided with a fastener section 62, a sensor housing section 65, and a drawer section 66 from one side of the management information display section 64 to the lower side, and a drawer section 67 is provided on the opposite side of the sensor housing section 65 to the drawer section 66.

[0029] The sensor housing 65 houses the rear side of the radio wave sensor 42 and is provided so as to protrude rearward from the rear wall 60, with the fastener 62 and the fastener 63 wrapped around the fastener 62 being disposed forward of the rear end of the sensor housing 65. The sensor housing 65 and the rear of the radio wave sensor 42 housed therein form a protrusion 68 that protrudes rearward from the rear wall 60 of the case 38.

[0030] The rear wall 60 of the case 38 is provided with openings 66, 67 on both the left and right sides of the sensor housing 65. The drawer 66 is for drawing the harness 56 on the first start switch 41 side and the harness 58 on one of the LED boards 43 side from inside the case 38 to the rear side of the rear wall 60, and is formed in the approximate center between the left and right LED boards 43, 44 near the first start switch 41 and the radio wave sensor 42. The drawer 67 is for drawing the harness 59 on the other LED board 44 side from inside the case 38 to the rear side of the rear wall 60, and is formed corresponding to the board-side connector 53 on the LED board 44 side.

[0031] The harness 56 on the first start switch 41 side is pulled out rearward or rearward and downward from the rear end side of the first start switch 41, through a pull-out portion 66, to the fastener 63 side. The harness 57 on the radio wave sensor 42 side is connected to the rear end side of the radio wave sensor 42, and is pulled out forward to the fastener 63 side, through an open pull-out portion 69 on the rear end side of the sensor housing portion 65.

[0032] Of the pair of left and right LED boards 43, 44, the harness 58 on one side of the LED board 43 is drawn out from the draw-out portion 66 to the rear side via the front side of the rear wall portion 60. The other side of the LED board 44 is on the opposite side of the fastener 63 with respect to the sensor accommodating portion 65, and the harness 59 on this LED board 44 side is drawn out from the draw-out portion 67 on the other side of the sensor accommodating portion 65 to the rear side, wired rearward along the other side of the sensor accommodating portion 65, and then drawn out to the fastener 63 side via the rear end side of the sensor accommodating portion 65.

[0033] As shown in Figures 4 and 6, at the rear end of the sensor accommodating section 65, there are step portions 70 on both the top and bottom of the pull-out section 69, which are equal to the thickness of the sensor accommodating section 65, and the harness 59 is wired between one of the step portions 70 and the harness 57 or connector 42a on the radio wave sensor 42 side.

[0034] The harness 59 on the LED board 44 side is disposed between one of the steps 70 and the harness 57 or connector 42a on the radio wave sensor 42 side, which position the harness 59 from both the top and bottom so that it does not move up and down. Note that a pair of top and bottom positioning parts 71 is formed by the step 70, the harness 57 on the radio wave sensor 42 side, or the connector 42a, etc. The harness 59 on the LED board 44 side is wired approximately in parallel with the harness 57 on the radio wave sensor 42 side between the rear end side of the radio wave sensor 42 and the fastener 63.

[0035] The fastening portion 62 is provided on the opposite side of the drawer portion 66 to the radio wave sensor 42. As shown in Figures 4, 5 and 8, the fastening portion 62 is provided in the vertical direction protruding rearward from the rear wall portion 60 at an intermediate portion between the management information display portion 64 and the lower end of the rear wall portion 60. A through hole 72 penetrating in the left-right direction is formed between the fastening portion 62 and the rear wall portion 60.

[0036] On both the top and bottom sides of the fastening portion 62, there are provided slip prevention portions 73 that prevent the fastener 63 wrapped around the fastening portion 62 from coming off. The fastening portion 62 and slip prevention portion 73 are configured to have a substantially H-shaped shape when viewed from the side, but the portion of the slip prevention portion 73 that protrudes rearward from the fastening portion 62 may be omitted. Also, it is sufficient for the fastening portion 62 to be of a type that does not allow the fastener 63 to come off or makes it difficult to come off.

[0037] The harnesses 56 to 59 are arranged vertically from top to bottom along the fastening portion 62 in the vicinity of the fastening portion 62, and are fastened together to the fastening portion 62 by fasteners 63 at corresponding positions of the fastening portion 62.

[0038] The tip side of each harness 56 to 59 from fastener 63 is divided into harnesses 56, 57 on the main control board 25 side and harnesses 58, 59 on the performance control board 26 side and pulled downward.

[0039] The harnesses 56 to 59 are wired so that no extra play is generated between the first start switch 41, the radio wave sensor 42, and the LED boards 43, 44 and the fastener 63. In addition, the tip side of each harness 56 to 59 from the fastener 63 can be freely bent, and when inserting the insertion portion 47 into the mounting hole 37 of the game board 1 and assembling it, the free end side can be bent based on the fastener 63 and moved inward from the outer periphery of the insertion portion 47 or inward from the inner periphery of the mounting hole 37.

[0040] The contact plate 36, the case portion 38, and the first starting hole 39 are made of a light-transmitting material, and the fastener 63 and the fastening portion 62 are arranged behind the first starting hole 39. On the other hand, on the front side of the first special symbol starting means 17, there is a view-inhibiting portion 55 such as a decorative sticker 80 attached to the front side of the first starting hole 39, a bumpy pattern formed on the contact plate 36 and / or the transparent wall 50, so that the fastener 63, the fastening portion 62, etc. cannot be seen through from the front side of the first special symbol starting means 17. The view-inhibiting portion 55 may be made of other materials.

[0041] The fastener 63 uses a fastener 74 that fastens the harnesses 56 to 59 together. The fastener 74 is made of a flexible synthetic resin such as polyamide, and as shown in Figures 9(a) and (b), includes a head portion 76 having an insertion portion 75, and a band portion 77 that is integrally connected to the head portion 76 and is inserted into the insertion portion 75 from the other end side to fasten the harnesses.

[0042] A one-way engagement claw 78 is integrally provided in the insertion portion 75. The one-way engagement claw 78 is biased toward the band portion 77 inserted into the insertion portion 75 by its own elastic force. A number of engagement portions 79 with which the one-way engagement claws 78 engage are formed in the band portion 77 in the longitudinal direction of the band, so that when the harnesses 56 to 59 are inserted into the fastening portion 62 by inserting the harnesses 56 to 59 into the insertion portion 75 of the head portion 76, the one-way engagement claws 78 engage with the engagement portions 79 to maintain the fastened state. After the harnesses 56 to 59 are tied together, the excess portion of the band portion 77 protruding from the head portion 76 is cut off.

[0043] Each of the harnesses 56-59 has flexibility and shape retention (or bendability and shape retention) so that it can be bent as desired as necessary and can maintain the bent state, and is basically constructed of strands 83 insulated with insulating coating 82 around a core wire 81 made of multiple conductors, as shown in Fig. 8. Each of the harnesses 56-59 has multiple strands 83, harness side connectors 56a-59a provided at one end of each strand 83, and harness side connectors 56b-59b provided at the other end of each strand 83.

[0044] When multiple conductors are bundled together to form core wire 81, the conductors may be in an untwisted state, or in a twisted state; however, the flexibility or bendability of wire 83 is improved when the conductors are in an untwisted state.

[0045] There are several types of wires 83, each with a different wire diameter depending on the number of conductors in the core wire 81, for example, three types: thick wire 83a, parallel wire 83b, and thin wire 83c. Harnesses 56 to 59 that use them also use thick harness 83A made of thick wire 83a, parallel harness 83B made of parallel wire 83b, or thin harness 83C made of thin wire 83c.

[0046] When determining the type of harness 83A-83C to be used for each harness 56-59, one of the thick harness 83A, the normal harness 83B, and the thin harness 83C is selected depending on conditions such as the magnitude of the electric signal when energized and the number of combinations of signals. For convenience, in Fig. 3-5 and Fig. 7, the thick harness 83A is shown by a thick line, the normal harness 83B by a thick dashed line, and the thin harness 83C by a thick dashed double-dot line.

[0047] Incidentally, in the case of the first special pattern starting means 17, the harness 56 on the first start switch 41 side is a thick harness 83A using two thick wires 83a, the harness 57 on the radio wave sensor 42 side is a parallel harness 83B using two parallel wires 83b, and the harnesses 58, 59 on the LED boards 43, 44 side are a thin harness 83C using four or more thin wires 83c.

[0048] Note that thick wire 83a, thick harness 83A, parallel wire 83b, parallel harness 83B, thin wire 83c, and thin harness 83C are three types of wires and harnesses with different thicknesses that are described in order from thick to thin, and are synonymous with the description of first, second, third, etc., and do not mean a specific wire diameter value. Furthermore, thick wire 83a, parallel wire 83b, and thin wire 83c may be specified by the outer diameter of wire 83 including core wire 81 and insulating coating 82.

[0049] The first special symbol starting means 17 has a plurality of electrical components 41-44, such as a first starting switch 41, a radio wave sensor 42, and left and right LED boards 43, 44, and each of these is connected to a harness 56-59 made up of a plurality of wires 83 via harness side connectors 57b-59b and drawn out to the back side. However, even if there are a plurality of harnesses 56-59 made up of a plurality of wires 83, by fastening all of the harnesses 56-59 together with a fastener 63, subsequent handling can be made easier than when each harness 56-59 is in a loose state for each wire 83.

[0050] Below the first special symbol starting means 17, there is an out ball port 35 that discharges out balls from the play area 2 of the game board 1 to the inside, but by bundling the harnesses 56-59 together with the fasteners 63, problems such as the harnesses 56-59 sagging down to the out ball port 35 side do not occur. Therefore, the connection work of the harnesses 56-59 to the main control board 25 and the performance control board 26 can be easily performed.

[0051] In addition, since the multiple harnesses 56-59 are fastened together to the fastening portion 62 by the fastener 63, the fastening position by the fastener 63 is substantially constant and stable, and it is possible to prevent the fastening position from varying. Therefore, even when assembling the first special symbol starting means 17 to the game board 1, the work can be performed uniformly.

[0052] Moreover, because the fastener 63 is wound around the fastener portion 62 of the case portion 38, even if an external force is applied to the fastener 63 side by, for example, pulling the harnesses 56-59 from the free ends, the fastener 63 and the fastener portion 62 can resist the external force. This eliminates problems such as the harnesses 56-59 falling off the first start switch 41, the radio wave sensor 42, and the LED boards 43, 44, and poor contact between the connectors of these components 41-44 and the harnesses 56-59.

[0053] In addition, each harness 56 to 59 includes a thick harness 83A made of two thick wires 83a, a parallel harness 83B made of two parallel wires 83b, and a thin harness 83C made of four or more thin wires 83c, which are fastened together with a fastener 63. Therefore, even if a large tension is applied to the free ends of these harnesses, the thick harness 83A can share the tension applied to the thinner thin harness 83C, thereby reducing the load on the thinner harnesses such as the thin harness 83C.

[0054] When connecting each harness 56-59 to the main control board 25 and the performance control board 26, each harness 56-59 is pulled upward from the fastener 63 side as a base point, and the harnesses 56, 57 are connected to the main control board 25 side and the harnesses 58, 59 are connected to the performance control board 26 side, respectively, so as not to interfere with the out ball passing through the out ball port 35 to the back side of the game board 1.

[0055] The fastener 63 and the fastener 62 protrude rearward from the rear wall 60 of the case 38 to fasten the harnesses 56 to 59 together. However, near the fastener 63 and the fastener 62, there is a sensor housing 65 that protrudes rearward from them, and the fastener 63 and the fastener 62 are located forward of the rear end of the protruding portion 68 of the sensor housing 65, so that the fastener 63 and the fastener 62 do not get in the way when handling the first special symbol starting means 17 during the assembly process of the game board 1 or otherwise.

[0056] In addition, since the harness 59 of the LED board 44 is pulled out to the fastener 63 side via the rear end side of the sensor accommodating section 65 (protrusion 68) that protrudes rearward, it is possible to reduce the vertical dimension of the first special pattern starting means 17 itself compared to the case where the wiring is routed via the upper or lower side of the protrusion 68.

[0057] Although the harness 59 of the LED board 44 is wired via the rear end side of the sensor accommodating section 65 that constitutes the protrusion 68, there are positioning portions 71 on both the top and bottom sides thereof, so that even if the harness 59 comes into contact with the rear end side or both the left and right sides of the sensor accommodating section 65, the harness 59 will not move to the top or bottom of the sensor accommodating section 65 or become detached.

[0058] Since the harnesses 56, 57 of the first start switch 41 and the radio wave sensor 42 can be connected to the main control board 25, and the harnesses 58, 59 of the LED boards 43, 44 can be connected to the performance control board 26, the length from the fastener 63 of each harness 56-59 to the harness side connectors 56a-59a is long. Therefore, before mounting on the game board 1, as shown in Fig. 5, each harness 56-59 is bent short for each connection target, and the folded harnesses 56-59 are inserted into protective caps 84, 85 for protection. This makes it possible to prevent the long harnesses 56-59 from sagging.

[0059] When tying the harnesses 56-59 with the tie 74, the free end side of the band portion 77 is passed through the through hole 72 and the band portion 77 is wound around the harnesses 56-59 and the fastening portion 62, and then the band portion 77 is inserted through the insertion portion 75 of the head portion 76 and pulled. Then, when the band portion 77 is pulled and fastened, the one-way engagement claw 78 engages with the engagement portion 79 to maintain the fastened state, and after the band portion 77 is pulled and fastened until the harnesses 56-59 are substantially in close contact with the fastening portion 62, the excess portion on the free end side of the band portion 77 is cut off near the head portion 76. This allows the harnesses 56-59 of the first start switch 41, the radio wave sensor 42, and the LED boards 43 and 44 to be easily tied together by the tie 74.

[0060] In addition, the band portion 77 may tighten the harnesses 56-59 loosely so that the harness side connectors 56a-59a at the tip ends of the harnesses 56-59 do not slip out of the fastener 63; for example, in the case where there are multiple harness side connectors 56a-59a of different sizes, the smallest harness side connector 56a-59a may be tightened loosely so that it does not slip out of the fastener 63.

[0061] 10 to 15 show an example of the combined winning means 16 in the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 10 to 15, the combined winning means 16 is provided with a contact plate 100 fixed to the front of the game board 1, on the left and right of which are a big winning means 21 and a normal winning means 22, and is also provided with a guide passage 101 that guides the game ball from the right hitting passage 14 (see Fig. 1) to the first special symbol starting means 17 (see Fig. 1) when the big winning means 21 is in a closed state.

[0062] The contact plate 100 is detachably fixed to the front of the game board 1. On the front side of the contact plate 100, there are provided a large prize opening 102 of the large prize winning means 21, an opening / closing member 103 for opening and closing the large prize opening 102, a passage section 104 arranged downstream of the opening / closing member 103, and a normal prize opening 105 of the normal prize winning means 22. Also, below the large prize opening 102, etc., there is provided a guide plate 106 for passing from both the left and right sides of the normal prize opening 105 to the lower side and guiding the game ball to the out ball opening 35. On the back side of the contact plate 100, there are provided an inner case section 107 arranged approximately in the center corresponding to the large prize winning means 21, and an outer case section 108 arranged straddling the left and right sides of the inner case section 107 to the lower side.

[0063] When the composite winning means 16 is attached to the game board 1, the inner case part 107 and the outer case part 108 are inserted into the attachment hole 109 of the game board 1 from the front side, and the abutment plate 100 is fixed to the game board 1 by a fixing means such as a screw. Therefore, the inner case part 107 and the outer case part 108 form an insertion part 110 that is inserted into the attachment hole 109 of the game board 1. The inner case part 107 and the outer case part 108 may be formed as one piece.

[0064] The large prize opening 102 of the large prize winning means 21 opens upward in front of the contact plate 100, and an opening / closing member 103 is provided on the opening side of the large prize opening 102 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. The large prize opening 102 is connected from a prize winning passage 114 in the inner case part 107 on the back side of the contact plate 100 to a discharge passage 111 on the outer case part 108 side, and game balls that win in the large prize opening 102 are discharged to the back side of the game board 1 via the prize winning passage 114 and the discharge passage 111. A prize winning switch 112 that detects game balls passing through the prize winning passage 114 is provided in a horizontally long shape in the inner case part 107.

[0065] The opening / closing member 103 can be opened and closed by a drive solenoid 113 via an interlocking mechanism (not shown), and when the large prize opening 102 is closed, it receives the game balls flowing down from above and guides them to the passage section 104 side. The guide passage 101 is at least partially the passage section 104 on the lower side of the large prize opening 102, and is composed of the passage section 104 when the large prize opening 102 is open, and is composed of the passage section 104 and the opening / closing member 103 on the upper side thereof in the closed state when the large prize opening 102 is closed. The winning switch 112 is disposed substantially horizontally below the winning passage 114 with its longitudinal direction facing left and right, and the game balls that pass through this winning switch 112 are guided to the back side of the game board 1 via the discharge passage 111.

[0066] The winning switch 112 and the drive solenoid 113 are housed in a storage case 115 that is detachably fixed to the back side of the inner case portion 107. The drive solenoid 113 has a movable iron core 113a that moves forward and backward, and the opening and closing member 103 can be opened and closed in the forward and backward directions by the forward and backward movement of the movable iron core 113a. The storage case 115 has an attachment portion 116 on its front end side detachably fixed to the inner case portion 107 by a fastener 117 such as a screw so that it protrudes rearward from the inner case portion 107.

[0067] The storage case 115, which contains the internal mechanisms such as the winning switch 112 and the drive solenoid 113, constitutes a first protruding portion 118 protruding rearward from the inner case portion 107. The outer case portion 108 is provided with a discharge passage 111 protruding rearward from the outer case portion 108 corresponding to the lower side of the storage case 115, and game balls from the discharge passage 111 are discharged downward from a discharge port 111a at the lower end thereof. The discharge passage 111 is closed at the rear side, and constitutes a second protruding portion 120 protruding rearward from a rear wall portion 119 of the outer case portion 108.

[0068] The normal winning port 105 of the normal winning means 22 is connected to a winning passage 122 in the outer case part 108 on the back side of the abutment plate 100. The winning passage 122 is provided in the front-rear direction in the outer case part 108, and its rear side protrudes rearward from the rear wall part 119 of the outer case part 108 and is connected to the discharge port 122a below via the winning switch 123 arranged on the lower side.

[0069] The winning switch 123 is arranged substantially horizontally with its longitudinal direction facing the left-right direction. A switch housing section 125 is provided above the discharge port 122a in the winning passage 122, and the winning switch 123 is housed in the switch housing section 125. Guide walls 126 are provided on both the left and right sides below the discharge port 122a, and the space between these guide walls 126 forms a discharge passage 124 that discharges game balls downward. The space between the rear ends of the left and right guide walls 126 is open.

[0070] The winning passage 122, the switch accommodating section 125, and the guide wall 126 have approximately the same amount of protrusion rearward from the rear wall section 119 of the outer case section 108, and the winning passage 122 constitutes the third protrusion section 128, the switch accommodating section 125 constitutes the fourth protrusion section 129, and the guide wall 126 constitutes the fifth protrusion section 130. The third protrusion section 128 and the fifth protrusion section 130 are aligned in the vertical direction, and the fourth protrusion section 129 is approximately aligned with the third protrusion section 128 and the fifth protrusion section 130 on the first protrusion section 118 side, and the opposite side protrudes from the third protrusion section 128 and the fifth protrusion section 130 to the opposite side in the left-right direction.

[0071] The composite winning means 16 is provided with a light-emitting display means 31 at approximately the center in the left-right direction corresponding to the large winning opening 102, and light-emitting display means 29, 30 and magnetic sensors 132, 133 are provided on both the left and right sides of the large winning means 21. The light-emitting display means 29-31 include light-emitting display units 217-219 provided on the abutment plate 100, etc., and LED boards 134-136 provided in the inner case part 107 and the outer case part 108 corresponding to the light-emitting display units 217-219. The LED boards 134-136 are provided with LEDs 134a-136a on the front side for irradiating the light-emitting display units 217-219. Board-side connectors 143-145 are provided on both the top and bottom sides of the back side of the LED boards 134, and board-side connectors 146, 147 are provided on the back sides of the LED boards 135, 136. The magnetic sensors 132 and 133 are for detecting magnetism in the event of fraudulent conduct, such as bringing a magnet close to a glass door or the like disposed in front of the game board 1 to change the flow of the game balls.

[0072] In addition, while the abutment plate 100 and the like ensures the diffusion of light when the light-emitting display units 217-219 emit light, a see-through obstruction portion is provided by an uneven pattern or other means to obstruct the see-through of the components on the back side, such as the drive solenoid 113, the winning switches 112, 123, and the LED boards 134-136. Therefore, even when viewed from the front side of the abutment plate 100, it is not possible to see through the components on the back side, or it is difficult to see through them.

[0073] On the back side of the composite winning means 16, opposite to the normal winning means 22, as shown in Figures 14 and 15, an LED board 134 which also serves as a relay board for the performance control system, and a relay board 141 for the main control system are provided at the front and rear. Also, on the back side of the composite winning means 16, a first wiring path 150, a second wiring path 151, and a third wiring path 152 are provided.

[0074] The first wiring path 150 is disposed between the relay board 141 at one left / right end and the other left / right end, and is provided in a zigzag shape below the first protrusion 118 and between the first protrusion 118 and the third to fifth protrusions 128 to 130. In this first wiring path 150, a harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side, a harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side, and a harness 157 on the LED board 135 side are wired together in parallel.

[0075] The second wiring path 151 is provided from the relay board 141 side via the rear lower side of the first protrusion 118. In this second wiring path 151, a harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side and a harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side are wired together in parallel.

[0076] The third wiring path 152 is provided so as to pass from the relay board 141 through its upper side and enter into the outer case part 108. In this third wiring path 152, a part of the harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 side and a part of the harness 161 on the LED board 136 side are wired together in parallel.

[0077] Each harness 155-161 employs either a thick harness 83A, a parallel harness 83B, or a thin harness 83C, similar to the case of Fig. 8, depending on the current capacity and other conditions. That is, the harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side of the first wiring path 150 employs a thick harness 83A made of two thick wires 83a, the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side employs a parallel harness 83B made of three parallel wires 83b, and the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side employs a thin harness 83C made of four thin wires 83c.

[0078] The distance from the relay board 141 to the winning switch 123 is approximately the same as the distance from the relay board 141 to the magnetic sensor 133. Therefore, harnesses 155 on the winning switch 123 side and harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side are long harnesses of approximately the same length corresponding to that distance.

[0079] The winning switch 123 and the magnetic sensor 133 are located far away from the relay board 141, and are arranged on the far side from the first parallel wiring section 190 in which the three harnesses 155 to 157 are wired in parallel, as described below. On the other hand, the LED board 135 is located closer to the relay board 141 than the winning switch 123 and the magnetic sensor 133, and is arranged on the side closer to the first parallel wiring section 190. The harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side and the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side are long harnesses having approximately the same length, and the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side is a harness that is shorter than the harnesses 155 and 156.

[0080] The harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side of the second wiring path 151 is a thick harness 83A made of two thick wires 83a, and the harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side is a parallel harness 83B made of three parallel wires 83b. The lengths of the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side and the harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side are approximately the same, or the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side is slightly longer.

[0081] The harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 side of the third wiring path 152 employs a parallel harness 83B made of three parallel wires 83b, and the harness 161 on the LED board 136 side employs a thin harness 83C made of two thin wires 83c.

[0082] The LED board 134 and the relay board 141 are mounted on both the front and rear sides of the board mounting base 163, as shown in Figs. 12, 14 and 15. That is, the LED board 134 is elongated in the up-down direction, and the relay board 141 is elongated in the left-right direction, and they are mounted approximately parallel to both the front and rear sides of the board mounting base 163. The board mounting base 163 is mounted to the outer case 108 via fasteners 164 such as screws. The LED board 134 constitutes a part of the light-emitting display means 29, and is provided on the front side of the board mounting base 163, and a relay board 141 of the main control system is provided on the back side of the board mounting base 163 corresponding to the LED board 134.

[0083] The LED board 134 is disposed in front of the board mounting stand 163, and the relay board 141 is disposed on the back side of the board mounting stand 163 in correspondence with the upper and lower middle part of the LED board 134. On both the upper and lower sides of the LED board 134, an upper protruding portion 134A and a lower protruding portion 134B are provided which protrude from the relay board 141.

[0084] The upper overhanging portion 134A is provided with a board-side connector 143 for relaying, and the lower overhanging portion 134B is provided with a board-side connector 144 for relaying and a board-side connector 145 for external connection. The board-side connector 143 is connected to the LED board 136 via a harness 161, and the board-side connector 144 is connected to the LED board 135 via a harness 157. The board-side connector 145 is for external connection, and is connected to the performance control board 26 via an external connection harness 166. Therefore, the LED board 134 is connected to other electrical components, for example, the LED boards 135 and 136 and the performance control board 26, via the harnesses 157, 161, and 166 connected to the board-side connectors 143 to 145.

[0085] The rear sides of the upper overhang 134A and the lower overhang 134B are open by openings 163a, 163b of the board mounting base 163, and harnesses 157, 161, 166 are connected to the board side connectors 143-145 of each overhang 134A, 134B from the openings 163a, 163b side.

[0086] By arranging the LED board 134 and the relay board 141 in a stacked manner in front to back in this manner, the LED board 134 and the relay board 141 can be arranged efficiently in a smaller layout area compared to when the LED board 134 and the relay board 141 are arranged side by side in the planar direction, and the composite winning means 16 can be made smaller.

[0087] Even if LED board 134 and relay board 141 are stacked front to back, by disposing LED board 134 on the front side, the original function of LED board 134 is not hindered, and light-emitting display unit 217 in front of it can be illuminated by light from LED board 134. Furthermore, by providing LED board 134 with protruding parts 134A, 134B that protrude in the surface direction from relay board 141 on the back side, and connecting LED board 134 to other electric components via board-side connectors 143-145 on the protruding parts 134A, 134B sides, it is also easy to connect other electric components to LED board 134.

[0088] The rear side of relay board 141 is open, and on the back surface of this relay board 141, relay board side connectors 167-171 arranged in the left-right direction and board side connector 172 for external connection are provided in two upper and lower rows, and on the upper side, there is provided a management information display section 175 that displays management information of relay board 141.

[0089] The management information display section 175 is composed of a manufacturer display section 175a that displays the name of the manufacturer and a board management number display section 175b that displays the board management number. The management information display section 175 only needs to display information necessary for management, and may display information other than the manufacturer name and the board management number. The slacks 155a-160a of the harnesses 155-160 are arranged at positions that do not overlap the back side of the management information display section 175, and the back side of the management information display section 175 is free of the slacks 155a-160a of the harnesses 155-160 and other obstacles, so that the management information such as the manufacturer name and the board management number can be easily seen through by visual inspection from the back side. The management information display section 175 may be arranged at the back side of the game piece.

[0090] On the upper side of the relay board 141, two board side connectors 167, 170 connected to the two winning switches 112, 123, and one board side connector 172 for external connection are arranged in a row in the left-right direction, and on the lower side, a board side connector 169 connected to the drive solenoid 113, and two board side connectors 168, 171 connected to the left and right magnetic sensors 132, 133 are arranged in a row in the left-right direction.

[0091] The relay board 141 and the two upper and lower rows of board side connectors 167 to 172 protrude rearward from the rear wall portion 119 of the outer case portion 108, and the relay board 141 and the board side connectors 167 to 172 form a sixth protrusion 176.

[0092] Harnesses 155, 158 on the winning switches 112, 123 side are detachably connected to board-side connectors 167, 170 on the upper side of the relay board 141. The harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side is wired along a first wiring path 150, and the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side is wired along a second wiring path 151.

[0093] A harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side is detachably connected to a board-side connector 168 on the lower side of the relay board 141, a harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side is detachably connected to a board-side connector 169 on the lower side of the relay board 141, and a harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 side is detachably connected to a board-side connector 171 on the lower side of the relay board 141. The harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side is wired along the second wiring path 151. The harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side is wired along the first wiring path 150, and the harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 is wired along the third wiring path 152.

[0094] The board-side connector 172 for external connection is connected to each of the board-side connectors 167-171 via a circuit pattern on the relay board 141, and has a corresponding number of terminals. Therefore, the external connection harness 174 connected to the board-side connector 172 also has a corresponding number of wires 83. Incidentally, the external connection harness 174 employs a parallel harness 83B made of 8 to 10 or more parallel wires 83b, or a thin harness 83C made of thin wires 83c, and is directly or indirectly connected to the main control board 25 via the harness-side connector on the tip side.

[0095] The harness 157 on the LED board 135 side is wired along the first wiring path 150 and connected to the board-side connector 144 of the downward protruding portion 134B of the LED board 134. The harness 161 on the LED board 136 side is wired along the third wiring path 152 and connected to the board-side connector 143 of the upward protruding portion 134A of the LED board 134.

[0096] The board-side connector 145 for external connection is connected to the board-side connectors 143, 144 via a circuit pattern on the LED board 134. The board-side connector 145 has the number of terminals necessary for light emission control by the LED board 134, and the external connection harness 166 connected to this board-side connector 145 also has wires 83 corresponding to the number of terminals. Incidentally, a parallel harness 83B made of 8 to 10 or more parallel wires 83b, or a thin harness 83C made of thin wires 83c is adopted for the external connection harness 166, and it is directly or indirectly connected to the performance control board 26 via the harness-side connector on the tip side.

[0097] There is a predetermined vertical gap between the upper row of board side connectors 167, 170, 172 and the lower row of board side connectors 168, 169, 171 on the relay board 141, and the back side of the relay board 141 and between the upper and lower rows of board side connectors 167-172 form a slack arrangement portion 180.

[0098] The harnesses 155, 158 on the winning switch 112, 123 side, the harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side, and the harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 side are provided with slack portions 155a, 158a to 160a near harness side connectors (not shown) that can be connected to the board side connectors 167, 169 to 171. The slack portions 158a to 160a are provided in a bent or curved shape that bends or curves in the approximate planar direction of the top, bottom, left and right along the back surface of the relay board 141.

[0099] The slack portions 155a, 158a to 160a of each harness 155, 158 to 160 are intended to give the harnesses 155, 158 to 160 the slack (room) necessary for the harnesses 155, 158 to 160 to be inserted and removed from the board side connectors 167, 169 to 171 of the relay board 141 when the harnesses 155, 158 to 160 are attached and detached to the board side connectors 167, 169 to 171 of the relay board 141.

[0100] The slack portions 155a, 158a-160a of the harnesses 155, 158-160 are arranged overlapping in the front-rear direction with their vertical and horizontal positions changed within the slack arrangement section 180. The arrangement height of the slack portions 155a, 158a-160a as a whole is approximately the same as the height of the board-side connectors 167-172 or less than the height of the board-side connectors 167-172.

[0101] In this way, the space between the two upper and lower rows of board side connectors 167-172 is used as a slack arrangement section 180, and the slack sections 155a, 158a-160a of the harnesses 155, 158-160 are arranged within this slack arrangement section 180, so that the board side connectors 167-172 can protect the slack sections 155a, 158a-160a from both the top and bottom.

[0102] Therefore, during assembly or during maintenance, inspection, etc. after assembly, deformation or entanglement of the slack portions 155a, 158a-160a themselves caused by contact with the slack portions 155a, 158a-160a of the harnesses 155, 158-160, and further floating of the harnesses 155, 158-160, etc. can be prevented.

[0103] The amount of play (slack) of each harness 155-160 is such that the winning switches 112, 123, driving solenoid 113, and magnetic sensors 132, 133 sides are wired along each wiring path 150-152 with almost no slack, whereas the LED board 134 side and relay board 141 side have a large amount of slack required to attach and detach the harness side connectors of the harnesses 155-160 to and from the board side connectors 144, 167, 169-171.

[0104] For example, in the harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side, the amount of slack including slack portion 155a from fastener 194 closest to the board side connector 167 to the board side connector 167 is greater than the amount of slack from fastener 208 closest to the winning switch 123 to the winning switch 123, and the wiring from fastener 208 to the winning switch 123 is done with almost no slack.

[0105] In addition, in the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side, the amount of slack including slack portion 156a from fastener 196 closest to board side connector 168 to board side connector 168 is greater than the amount of slack from fastener 208 closest to magnetic sensor 133 to magnetic sensor 133, and wiring from fastener 208 to magnetic sensor 133 is performed with almost no slack.

[0106] Furthermore, in the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side, the amount of slack including slack portion 157a from fastener 196 closest to board side connector 144 to board side connector 144 is greater than the amount of slack from fastener 194 closest to LED board 135 to LED board 135, and wiring from fastener 194 to LED board 135 is performed with almost no slack.

[0107] Therefore, the harnesses 155-157 can be efficiently wired along the first wiring path 150, and the harness side connectors of the harnesses 155-157 can be easily attached to and detached from the board side connectors 144, 167, and 168. The same applies to the other harnesses 158-160. Note that in this embodiment, two fasteners are provided for the harness 155, three for the harness 156, and two for the harness 157, but one fastener may be provided for each of the harnesses 155-157.

[0108] Harness 156 connecting magnetic sensor 133 and board-side connector 168 of relay board 141 has slack 156a on the board-side connector 168 side, and harness 157 connecting LED board 135 and board-side connector 144 of LED board 134 has slack 157a on the board-side connector 144 side. These harnesses 156, 157 also have almost no slack on the magnetic sensor 133 and LED board 135 side, and the side closer to board-side connectors 144, 168 has a predetermined amount of slack that is longer than the magnetic sensor 133 and LED board 135 side, similar to harnesses 155, 158-160.

[0109] Therefore, on the first wiring path 150 side, the harnesses 155-157 for the winning switch 123, magnetic sensor 133, and LED board 135, and on the second wiring path 151 side, the harnesses 158, 159 for the winning switch 112 and drive solenoid 113 are wired neatly along their respective wiring paths 150, 151 without waste, while the connectors of each harness 155-159 can be easily attached and detached to the respective board side connectors 144, 167-170 to be connected to.

[0110] The harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side wired to the first wiring path 150 is wired from the underside of the relay board 141 to the back side of the relay board 141, and then connected from the back side to the board-side connector 168 of the relay board 141. There is a step (height difference in the front-rear direction) of the sixth protrusion 176 between the fastener 196 that fastens the harnesses 156, 157 and the board-side connector 168, and by wiring the harness 156 in a curved shape along the step, a slack portion 156a necessary for attaching and detaching the harness 156 to the board-side connector 168 is formed. The harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 side, which is wired to the third wiring path 152, is wired from the upper side of the relay board 141 to the back side of the relay board 141, and continues between the board side connector 167 and the board side connector 170 of the relay board 141 to the slack portion 160a in the slack arrangement portion 180.

[0111] The fasteners 186, 194, 196, 208, and 214 have substantially the same configuration as the fastener 63 of the first embodiment. The fasteners 188, 197, 209, and 215 may be substantially the same as the fastener 62 of the first embodiment, or may be configured to protrude rearward from the rear wall 119 in a U-shape.

[0112] The slack portions 155a, 158a to 160a of the harnesses 155, 158 to 160 or the nearby harnesses 155, 158 to 160 are arranged in a state of overlapping in the front-rear direction in the slack arrangement portion 180. Therefore, some of the harnesses 158, 159 have pressing portions 181, 182 that press the other harnesses 155, 160 toward the relay board 141.

[0113] For example, the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side and the harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side, which are wired to the second wiring path 151, have a twisted portion 183 where the two harnesses 158, 159 are twisted together, and the portion of this twisted portion 183 that corresponds to the relay board 141 becomes a pressing portion 181, which presses the vicinity of the slack portion 155a of the harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side of the first wiring path 150 against the relay board 141.

[0114] In addition, the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side of the second wiring path 151 has a pressing portion 182 at the branching portion where it branches into two from the twisted portion 183 with the harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side, and this pressing portion 182 presses the vicinity of the slack portion 160a of the harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 side against the relay board 141 side.

[0115] Therefore, while providing a sufficient amount of slack in the slack portions 155a, 156a, 158a to 160a of the harnesses 155, 158 to 160, the slack portions 155a, 158a to 160a can be concentrated and arranged in the slack arrangement portion 180. In addition, since the holding portions 181, 182 of the harnesses 155, 158 to 160 hold the other harnesses 155, 160 toward the relay board 141, the slack portions 155a, 160a of the harnesses 155, 160 can be prevented from floating up, etc.

[0116] In particular, of the harnesses 158, 159 of the second wiring path 151, the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side is a thick harness 83A and the harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side is a normal harness 83B, and there is a pressing portion 181 at the twisted portion 183 of the two, so that even though the harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side of the first wiring path 150 is a thick harness 83A, the pressing portion 181 can securely press down the harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side.

[0117] In addition, the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side of the second wiring path 151 is a thick harness 83A, and the holding portion 182 of this thick harness 83A holds down the thin harness 83B, which is the harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 side, so that the holding portion 182 can reliably hold down the harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 side.

[0118] Furthermore, since the pressing portions 181, 182 of each harness 158, 159 are located within the slack arrangement portion 180 between the upper and lower two rows of board side connectors 167-172, the pressing portions 181, 182 of the harnesses 158, 159 can be protected by the upper and lower two rows of board side connectors 167-172, similar to the slack portions 155a, 158a-160a of the harnesses 155, 158-160.

[0119] The harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side and the harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side are wired on a second wiring path 151. In this second wiring path 151, a parallel wiring section 184 in which the harnesses 158, 159 are wired together in parallel is provided between the relay board 141 and the rear side of the storage case 115, and fasteners 185, 186 are provided at two locations in this parallel wiring section 184.

[0120] The fastener 186 near the winning switch 112 and the drive solenoid 113 is of a binding type, and the harnesses 158, 159 are fastened together to a fastener 188 on the rear side of the storage case 115 by the fastener 186. The fastener 185 on the side near the relay board 141 and the board-side connectors 169, 170 is composed of a protrusion 189 protruding rearward from the storage case 115. As shown in FIG. 12, the protrusion 189 is positioned above the line segment connecting the fastener 186 and the pressing part 181 side on the relay board 141, and the harnesses 158, 159 are hooked from above onto the protrusion 189 so that the harnesses 158, 159 snake upwards by the protrusion 189 between the fastener 186 and the pressing part 181.

[0121] The harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side is pulled out from the approximately left-right center of the lower side of the storage case 115 to the rear side, and then passes from the lower side of the bottom wall of the storage case 115 through a fastener 186 on the rear side of the rear wall to the relay board 141 side. A harness 159 is connected to the rear end side of the drive solenoid 113. This harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side extends laterally toward the fastener 186 side, and is fastened together with the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side by fasteners 185, 186.

[0122] In addition, the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side and the harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side are branched off and wired on the opposite side of the parallel wiring section 184 relative to the fastener 186, and are also branched off and wired from the parallel wiring section 184 to the board side connectors 169, 170 on the relay board 141.

[0123] By wiring the harnesses 158, 159 of the second wiring path 151 via the protrusion 189, despite the difference in height in the front-to-rear direction between the fastener 186 at the rear end of the storage case 115 and the pressing portion 181 side of the relay board 141, the harnesses 158, 159 can be easily and neatly wired along the second wiring path 151 without slack occurring between the fastener 186 and the relay board 141.

[0124] The storage case 115 can be attached and detached from the rear side of the inner case portion 107, but the second wiring path 151 passes through the rear side of the storage case 115, and the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side and the harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side are fastened to the second wiring path 151 by a fastener 186. Therefore, there is no problem such as the harnesses 158, 159 hanging down to the bottom of the storage case 115, and the storage case 115 can be attached and detached without being affected by the harnesses 158, 159. The winning switch 112 and the drive solenoid 113 are provided inside the storage case 115.

[0125] In addition, the storage case 115 can be attached and detached from the rear side of the inner case portion 107 by fasteners 117 such as screws, but since the harness 158 on the winning switch 112 side and the harness 159 on the drive solenoid 113 side are fastened to fastener portion 188 on the storage case 115 side by one-way fasteners 186, the storage case 115 cannot be removed by simply removing the fasteners 117 without cutting the fasteners 186. Therefore, fraudulent acts such as unauthorized removal of the storage case 115 can be prevented.

[0126] The harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side, the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side, and the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side are wired approximately in parallel along the first wiring path 150. This first wiring path 150 is composed of a first parallel wiring section 190 including a first curved path portion 150a, a second parallel broken line section 191 provided on the opposite side of the first parallel wiring section 190 from the LED board 134 and the relay board 141 and including a second curved path portion 150b, and a board-side parallel wiring section 192 provided on the LED board 134 and the relay board 141 side of the first parallel wiring section 190.

[0127] In the first parallel wiring section 190, all the harnesses 155-157 are wired in parallel, so that the first parallel wiring section 190 has the largest number of harnesses, and the harnesses 155-157, which are the largest in number, are fastened together by a fastener 194. In the second parallel wiring section 191, among the harnesses 155-157 in the first parallel wiring section 190, the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side branches off to the LED board 135 side at a branch position 220, and the harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side and the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side are wired in parallel and fastened together by a fastener 208.

[0128] In this embodiment, the first parallel wiring section 190 and the second parallel wiring section 191 are described. However, in the case where the number of harnesses wired in parallel is large and the harnesses branch out sequentially at several locations, the number of harnesses may be sequentially decreased from the second parallel wiring section to the third parallel wiring section and the fourth parallel wiring section.

[0129] If the relay board 141, etc. are used as a reference, the number of harnesses decreases from the first parallel wiring section 190 to the second parallel wiring section 191, sandwiched between the branch position 220. However, if the winning switch 123, magnetic sensor 133, etc. are used as a reference, the number of harnesses increases from the second parallel wiring section 191 to the first parallel wiring section 190, sandwiched between the gathering position where the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side gathers (merges) with the harnesses 155, 156 in the second parallel wiring section 191.

[0130] In the board-side parallel wiring section 192, of the harnesses 155 to 157 in the first parallel wiring section 190, the harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side branches off to the relay board 141 side, and the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side and the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side are wired in parallel and are fastened together by a fastener 196.

[0131] The first parallel wiring section 190 is bent or curved in a generally L-shape when viewed from the rear along the edge of the outer case section 108 on the inner case section 107 side. In this first parallel wiring section 190, the harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side, the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side, and the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side are all wired in parallel.

[0132] The fastener 194 is disposed below the inner case portion 107 at an intermediate position of the first parallel wiring section 190, and fastens the harnesses 156-157 together to the fastener 195. Therefore, compared to the case where the harnesses 155-157 are individually wired, it is possible to prevent the wires 83 of the harnesses 155-157 from becoming uneven, and the harnesses 155-157 can be wired in a neat bundle.

[0133] Further, on the inside of the first parallel wiring section 190, there is a reinforcing wall 178 protruding rearward from the outer case portion 108, and a protruding wiring guide portion 178a is provided on the inside of the first curved path portion 150a at a bent portion of this reinforcing wall 178. Therefore, the harnesses 155 to 157 of the first parallel wiring section 190 are wound around the wiring guide portion 178a of the first curved path portion 150a and wired in a substantially L-shape, and are fastened together at a fastener portion 195 by a fastener 194 between the wiring guide portion 178a and the second protrusion 120.

[0134] Therefore, the harnesses 155-157 can be wired without slack along the first parallel wiring section 190, and the harnesses 155-157 can be bundled at two locations, the wiring guide portion 178a and the fastener 194, so that the harnesses 155-157 can be efficiently bundled. Furthermore, in the first curved path portion 150a, it is only necessary to hook the harnesses 155-157 onto the wiring guide portion 178a, so that the wiring work can be performed more easily than in the case where the fastener 194 is disposed at two locations.

[0135] In the board-side parallel wiring section 192 on the relay board 141 side, the thick harness 83A constituting the harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side branches off, and the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side and the thin harness 83C constituting the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side are wired in parallel, and are fastened together to the fastener 197 on the outer case portion 108 side by a fastener 196 in the middle.

[0136] The fastener 196 is disposed near the underside of the relay board 141 and near the side of the second protrusion 120. The harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side, which branches off from the harnesses 156, 157 of the board side parallel wiring section 192, is connected to the board side connector 167 on the relay board 141 via the slack portion 155a.

[0137] In this way, in the board-side parallel wiring section 192, the thin harness 83C used for the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side and the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side are wired in parallel, and each of the harnesses 156, 157 is fastened together with the fastener 196, so that the harnesses 156, 157 can be wired neatly and cutting or other damage to the wires of each of the harnesses 156, 157 can be prevented.

[0138] The harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side has a slack portion 156a between the fastener 196 and the board-side connector 168 of the relay board 141, the slack portion 156a gently curving in the front-rear direction along the step of the board-side connector 168, and the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side has a slack portion 157a between the fastener 196 and the board-side connector 144 of the LED board 134, the slack portion 157a curving along the rear wall portion 119. Therefore, when connecting the harnesses 156, 157 to the board-side connectors 144, 168, the harnesses 156, 157 can be easily connected to the board-side connectors 144, 168 by the slack portions 156a, 157a on the harnesses 156, 157 sides.

[0139] The first parallel wiring section 190 has a second protruding portion 120 due to the exhaust passage 111 on the side of the board-side parallel wiring section 192, and the harnesses 155-157 are wired in parallel via a rear end side passing portion 200 that passes through the rear end side of the second protruding portion 120. Therefore, compared to the case where the harnesses 155-157 are wired via the upper or lower side of the second protruding portion 120, the harnesses 155-157 can be wired efficiently while crossing the second protruding portion 120.

[0140] A protruding anti-slip portion 201 is provided at the lower rear end side of the discharge passage 111, and the harnesses 155-157 passing through the rear end side passing portion 200 are restricted by this anti-slip portion 201 so as not to move toward the discharge outlet 111a below it, avoiding the discharge outlet 111a. By providing this anti-slip portion 201, it is possible to prevent the harnesses 155-157 from sagging toward the discharge outlet 111a, and it is possible to wire the harnesses 155-157 while avoiding the discharge outlet 111a. In this case, the discharge outlet 111a serves as a harness avoidance portion for preventing the harnesses 155-157 from sagging.

[0141] On both sides of the second protrusion 120 in the wiring path direction, there are a fastener 194 of the first parallel wiring section 190 and a fastener 196 of the board-side parallel wiring section 192. The slippage prevention portion 201 is disposed on the upper side of the line segment connecting the fasteners 194, 196 in rear view, and the harnesses 155-157 passing through the rear end side of the second protrusion 120 are hooked on the upper side of the slippage prevention portion 201 between the fasteners 194, 196. Therefore, it is possible to prevent slackness of the harnesses 155-157 at the rear end side passing portion 200 passing through the rear end side of the second protrusion 120.

[0142] In a plan view, the harnesses 155-157 are wired diagonally between the rear end of the discharge passage 111 and the fasteners 194, 196 on both sides of the second protruding portion 120, and there is a substantially triangular space between the harnesses 155-157 and the outer case portion 108 on both sides of the discharge passage 111. Therefore, in combination with the fact that the slip prevention portion 201 is located above the line segment connecting the fasteners 194, 196 on both sides, it is possible to more reliably prevent the harnesses 155-157 from sagging at the rear end side passing portion 200. The harnesses 155-157 may be arranged along both side surfaces of the discharge passage 111 from the rear wall portion 119 of the outer case portion 108.

[0143] The board-side connector 146 of the LED board 135 is disposed in correspondence with the first wiring path 150 at the vertical midpoint between the first protrusion 118 and the third to fifth protrusions 128 to 130. Therefore, the harness 157 on the LED board 135 side branches off from the harness 155 on the other winning switch 123 side and the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side at a position corresponding to this board-side connector 146, and is connected to the board-side connector 146 of the LED board 135.

[0144] The winning switch 123 is inserted into the switch housing 125 from the opposite side of the first protrusion 118. The harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side is connected to the end of the winning switch 123 opposite the first protrusion 118, and is drawn out from the end of the winning switch 123 along the upper surface side of the switch housing 125 to a joining position (gathering position) 205 on the outside of the winning passage 122. The magnetic sensor 133 is disposed in the outer case 108 near the outside of the winning passage 122 and near the upper side of the switch housing 125. The harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side is drawn out from the upper surface of the switch housing 125 along the outside vicinity of the winning passage 122 to the rear joining position 205, and joins with the harness 155 at the joining position 205.

[0145] In this way, by pulling out the harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side and the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side along the upper surface of the switch accommodating section 125 to the junction position 205 on the third protrusion 128 side, the harnesses 155, 156 which merge at the junction position 205 on the third protrusion 128 side can be stabilized.

[0146] The harness 155 on the winning switch 123 side and the harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side join at a joining position 205 near the outside of the rear end of the winning passage 122. The second parallel wiring section 191 is between the joining position 205 and a branching position 220 where the harness 157 of the LED board 135 branches off, and the harnesses 156 and 157 are wired in parallel in this second parallel wiring section 191.

[0147] The second parallel wiring section 191 has a third protruding portion 128 by the winning passage 122, and each harness 155, 156 is wired in parallel via a rear end side passing portion 210 that passes through the rear end side of this third protruding portion 128. At the lower part of the rear end side of the winning passage 122, a protruding anti-slip portion 211 that restricts the sagging of the harnesses 155, 156 is provided on the upper side of the switch accommodating portion 125.

[0148] The harnesses 155, 156 drawn from the winning switch 123 side and the magnetic sensor 133 side join at a joining position (branching position) 205 on one side of the third protrusion 128, which is the end side of the second parallel wiring section 191, and are fastened together to a fastener 209 of the outer case part 108 by a fastener 208 arranged on the second curved path part 150b on the other side of the third protrusion 128. Each harness 155, 156 is wired in the left-right direction along the third protrusion 128 from the joining position (branching position) 205 on one side of the third protrusion 128 formed by the winning passage 122, through the rear end side via part 210 on the rear end side of the third protrusion 128, to the fastener 208 on the opposite side. Therefore, each harness 155, 156 can be wired more efficiently across the third protrusion 128 than if each harness 155, 156 were wired via the upper or lower side of the third protrusion 128 without passing through it.

[0149] A protruding anti-slip portion 211 is provided at the lower rear end of the winning passage 122. The harnesses 155, 156 passing through the rear end side passing portion 210 are restricted by this anti-slip portion 211 to the upper side of the winning switch 123 so as not to move to the rear side of the winning switch 123. Therefore, the harnesses 155, 156 can be efficiently wired at the rear end side passing portion 210, and erroneous detection of the winning switch 123 due to noise of the harnesses 155, 156 can be prevented. In this case, the winning switch 123 is the harness avoidance portion that should be avoided by the harness 155. The anti-slip portion 211 may be one that prevents the harnesses 155, 156 from sagging toward the discharge port 122a side.

[0150] A branch position 220 where the harness 157 of the LED board 135 branches off from the harnesses 155, 156 is located midway between the fastener 194 of the first parallel wiring section 190 and the fastener 208 of the second parallel wiring section 191, and the distance from the branch position 220 to the fastener 194 is greater than the distance from the branch position 220 to the fastener 208. In addition, the wiring guide portion 178a is located closer to the branch position 220 than the fastener 194, and the harnesses 155 to 157 are wound around this to fasten them. Therefore, even when the harness side connector is pulled out from the board side connector 146 of the LED board 135 to remove the harness 157, a sufficient slack can be secured for the harness 157 between the fastener 194 and the board side connector 146, and the harness 157 can be easily removed.

[0151] The slippage prevention portion 211 is disposed above the line segment connecting the junction position 205 on one side of the winning passage 122 and the fastener 208 on the opposite side of the winning passage 122, as viewed from behind. The harnesses 155, 156 passing through the rear end side of the third protrusion 128 are hooked from above onto the slippage prevention portion 211 between the junction positions 205 on both sides and the fasteners 208, and are wired along both the left and right side surfaces of the winning passage 122. By disposing the slippage prevention portion 211 in such a position, it is possible to prevent sagging of the harnesses 155, 156.

[0152] The harness 160 of the magnetic sensor 132 is wired on the third wiring path 152. That is, the harness 160 of the magnetic sensor 132 is pulled from the outside of the outer case portion 108, passing over the upper side of the upper overhang portion 134A of the LED board 134, to the rear side of the upper overhang portion 134A, and then wired from this upper overhang portion 134A to the rear side of the relay board 141, passing over the upper edge side of the relay board 141, and continuing to the slack portion 160a that is arranged in the slack arrangement portion 180 on the rear side of the relay board 141.

[0153] The upper overhanging portion 134A has a board-side connector 143 near the third wiring path 152, and a harness 161 is connected to this board-side connector 143. The harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 side and the harness 161 on the LED board 136 side are fastened together to a fastener 215 of the board mounting base 163 by a fastener 214 arranged near the board-side connector 143. After passing through the fastener 214, the harness 161 branches off from the harness 160 on the magnetic sensor 132 side and is connected to the board-side connector 147 of the LED board 136 inside the inner case portion 107.

[0154] Therefore, the LED board 134 is connected to the LED board 136 via the harness 161 and is also connected to the LED board 135 via the harness 157 , and functions as a relay board for the two LED boards 135 and 136 .

[0155] The harness 156 on the magnetic sensor 133 side of the first wiring path 150 has a slack portion 156a between the fastener 196 and the board-side connector 168 of the relay board 141, the slack portion 156a gently curving in the front-rear direction along the underside of the sixth protrusion 176. The harness 157 on the LED board 135 side has a slack portion 157a between the fastener 196 and the board-side connector 144 of the LED board 134, the slack portion 157a curving along the rear wall portion 119 from the underside of the board-side connector 144 to the fastener 196 side. Therefore, the harnesses 156, 157 can be easily connected to the board-side connectors 144, 168 by the slack of the slack portions 156a, 157a.

[0156] The board-side connector 172 for external connection of the relay board 141 and the board-side connector 145 for external connection of the lower protruding portion 134B of the LED board 134 are disposed near the outer periphery of the insertion portion 110. Between the board-side connector 172 of the relay board 141 and the board-side connector 145 of the lower protruding portion 134B of the LED board 134, there is a height difference according to the relay board 141 and the LED board 134 arranged in a stacked manner, and the board-side connector 172 of the relay board 141 protrudes rearward above the board-side connector 145 of the lower protruding portion 134B. The external connection harness 174 of the relay board 141 and the external connection harness 166 of the LED board 134 are bundled together by a fastener 216 disposed near the board-side connector 172 of the relay board 141.

[0157] The board-side connector 172 of the relay board 141 is disposed at one end of the insertion section 110, which is long in the left-right direction, at an end of the relay board 141. The external connection harness 174 connected to the board-side connector 172 is bent toward the outside of the relay board 141 along the arrangement direction of the wires near the board-side connector 172, and a fastener 216 is disposed near the bent portion 174a.

[0158] External connection harness 166 connected to board-side connector 145 of lower overhang 134B is led from the underside of relay board 141 to the back side of relay board 141, and then bound together with external connection harness 174 by fastener 216 and drawn out to the outside of relay board 141 together with external connection harness 174. Fastener 216 is disposed near an end of relay board 141 or on the inside of the end.

[0159] In this manner, when providing the external connection harness 174 of the relay board 141 and the external connection harness 166 of the LED board 134, the external connection harnesses 166, 174 are bundled together using the fastener 216, which makes subsequent handling easier than when each external connection harness 166, 174 is in a loose state with each wire separated.

[0160] Furthermore, the fastener 216 is disposed near the board-side connector 172 of the relay board 141, and both external connection harnesses 166, 174 are fastened together by the fastener 216, so that the fastening position of the external connection harnesses 166, 174 by the fastener 216 is easily stabilized, and variation in the fastening position can be easily prevented. Therefore, there is no need to fix the fastener 216 to the fastening portion, and both external connection harnesses 166, 174 can be fastened together by the bundling fastener 216 even in a place where it is difficult to place a fastening portion, such as the back side of the relay board 141.

[0161] Furthermore, the external connection harness 166 connected to the board side connector 145 of the LED board 134 on the front side is guided near the board side connector 172 of the relay board 141 on the back side, and both external connection harnesses 166, 174 are fastened together by fasteners 216 near the board side connector 172 of the relay board 141. Therefore, even though the relay board 141 and the LED board 134 are overlapped from front to back, both external connection harnesses 166, 174 can be pulled out and wired without any difficulty.

[0162] When mounting the composite winning means 16 on the game board 1, the insertion parts 110, such as the inner case part 107 and the outer case part 108, are inserted into the mounting hole 109 of the game board 1. In this case, the external connection harnesses 166, 174 are bent inward from the outer periphery of the insertion part 110 or the inner periphery of the mounting hole 109 near the fastener 216. This prevents the external connection harnesses 166, 174 from getting in the way, and the composite winning means 16 can be easily mounted on the game board 1.

[0163] Below the first special symbol starting means 17, there is an out ball port 35 that discharges out balls from the play area 2 of the game board 1 to the inside, but by bundling the harnesses 56-59 together with the fasteners 63, problems such as the harnesses 56-59 sagging down to the out ball port 35 side do not occur. Therefore, the connection work of the harnesses 56-59 to the main control board 25 and the performance control board 26 can be easily performed.

[0197] The game device is provided with game components 16, 17 provided at a predetermined portion 1, and the game components 16, 17 include a plurality of first electrical components 112, 113, 132, 123, 133 related to the game, a first relay board 141 to which the plurality of first electrical components 112, 113, 132, 123, 133 are connected, a first harness 174 connected to the first relay board 141 and connected directly or indirectly to a main control board 25, a plurality of second electrical components 135, 136 related to the performance, a second relay board 134 to which the plurality of second electrical components 135, 136 are connected, and a second harness 166 connected to the second relay board 134 and connected directly or indirectly to a performance control board 26, and the fastener 216 may fasten the first harness 174 and the second harness 166 together.

[0198] The first and second embodiments and the first to fourteenth techniques included in the embodiments have been described above, but the present invention is not based on these, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention. In each embodiment, the game board 1 is exemplified as the predetermined portion, and the composite winning means 16 and the first special symbol starting means 17 are exemplified as the game parts provided on the game board 1, but various game parts provided on predetermined portions other than the game board 1 can be similarly implemented.

[0199] For example, in a pachinko machine, the predetermined part may be the center case 7 or mounting frame on the game board 1, and the predetermined part may be directly or indirectly equipped with game parts such as a performance unit or other movable unit. In addition, the predetermined part may be a machine frame on which the game board 1 is detachably mounted, or a front door that is attached to the machine frame so as to be openable and closable in front of the game board 1, and the predetermined part may be equipped with game parts such as an operation performance means such as a light-emitting operation button, and a launch handle for launching game balls. The present invention may also be used in game machines such as mahjong ball machines and slot machines.

[0200] In each embodiment, examples of electrical components include the main control board 25, the performance control board 26, the LED boards 43, 44, 134-136, the first start switch 41, the radio wave sensor 42, the winning switches 112, 123, the drive solenoid 113, the magnetic sensors 132, 133, and the board side connectors 143, 172, but other components may be used, and when the light-emitting display means 29, 30 including the LED boards 43, 44 are to be connected to a harness, the light-emitting display means 29, 30, etc. may themselves constitute a single electrical component.

[0201] In the case of game components such as winning means that are placed within the game area of ​​the game board 1, the game components themselves have an insertion portion 47,110 on the back side, and the insertion portion 47,110 is inserted into the mounting hole 37,109 of the game board 1 from the front and fixed by a fixing means, but game components that do not have an insertion portion 47,110, etc., and are fixed by a fixing means such as a screw while abutting against the mounting object such as the game board 1 or machine frame from the front, are also acceptable.

[0202] Each fastener such as the fastener 63, 216 may be a fastening type having a configuration exemplified in the embodiment, or may be a fastening type having another configuration. In addition, the fastener is sufficient as long as it can fasten multiple harnesses to the play parts 16, 17 at necessary places, and is not limited to a specific fastening type.

[0203] Considering the efficiency of the work during assembly, it goes without saying that it is desirable to have a fastener that can easily fasten the harnesses. Furthermore, the degree of fastening of the harnesses when fastening multiple harnesses together with a fastener can be determined appropriately according to the surrounding conditions, etc., and it is not necessary to fasten each harness so that it cannot move. For example, when there are many harnesses and these harnesses are fastened together at a gathering point, it is sufficient to fasten each harness with a certain amount of slack.

[0204] The harnesses include harness 83A (or 83A, 83B) using wires 83 with a thick wire diameter, and harnesses 83B, 83C (or 83C) using wires with a thinner wire diameter, and the thicker the wire diameter, the greater the tensile strength of each wire 83. Therefore, when wiring multiple harnesses along a wiring route where the harness may become caught on something, the harness 83A (or 83A, 83B) using a thick wire diameter and the harnesses 83B, 83C (or 83C) using a thin wire diameter are combined and wired, so that the harness 83A (or 83A, 83B) using a thick wire diameter can reinforce the harnesses 83B, 83C (or 83C) using a thin wire diameter.

[0205] When one end of the harness 155-161 is connected to the electric components 112, 113, 123, 132, 133, 135, 136 and the other end of the harness 155-161 is detachably connected to the board-side connectors 143-145, 167-170 of the relay board 134, 141 via the harness-side connector, It is desirable to make the amount of slack in the harnesses 155-161 to the fasteners 186, 208, 214 on the side closer to the electrical components 112, 113, 123, 132, 133, 135, 136 (the former amount of slack) greater than the amount of slack in the harnesses 155-161 to the electrical components 112, 113, 123, 132, 133, 135, 136 (the latter amount of slack).

[0206] However, when one end of the harness 155-161 is detachably connected to the connector on the side of the electric components 112, 113, 123, 132, 133, 135, 136 via a harness-side connector, it is necessary to secure the latter amount of slack so that the connectors can be detached from each other. Therefore, the former amount of slack and the latter amount of slack may be approximately the same.

[0207] In a gaming component 16 having multiple relay boards 134, 141 arranged front to back or top to bottom, when connecting a harness side connector from one relay board 141 to the harness side connector of the other relay board 134, the other relay board 134 is arranged so that it protrudes outward in the planar direction more than the one relay board 141, and board side connectors are provided on the protruding portions 134A, 134B.

[0208] In the second embodiment, the wiring path 150 is divided into a board-side parallel wiring section 192 on the relay boards 134, 141 side and an electric component parallel wiring section 190, 191 on the opposite side of the relay boards 134, 141. When wiring three harnesses 155-157 to the wiring path 150, the electric component parallel wiring section 190, 191 is provided with a first wiring section 190 in which the three harnesses 155-157 are wired in parallel, and a second parallel wiring section 191 in which the two harnesses 155, 156 are wired in parallel on the electric component 123, 133 side of the first wiring section 190. In addition, the board-side parallel wiring section 192 has two harnesses 156, 156 wired in parallel.

[0209] However, when the harness branches at two or more locations in the electric component parallel wiring sections 190, 191, the second parallel wiring section 191 and the third parallel wiring section may be provided in sequence each time the harness branches from the first parallel wiring section 190. Even in this case, it is desirable to provide the harness 83A and / or 83B having a large wire diameter in the harness that is wired up to the final portion of the electric component parallel wiring sections 190, 191.

[0210] In addition, if it is not possible to run the harnesses 83A and / or 83B with a thicker wire diameter all the way to the ends of the electrical component parallel wiring sections 190, 191 due to the types of electrical components, and it is necessary to run the harness 83C with a thinner wire diameter, it is desirable to use a harness with a larger number of wires.

[0211] When wiring a plurality of harnesses 155-157 along a wiring path 150 between the electric components 123, 133, 135 and the relay boards 134, 141, the fasteners 194, 196, 208 arranged on the wiring path 150 may be one or more in the direction of the path. When providing a plurality of fasteners, the type of fastener may be changed depending on the conditions, circumstances, etc. around the fastening position.

[0212] When the wiring path 150 is provided with a first parallel wiring section 190 in which multiple harnesses 155-157 are wired in parallel, and a second parallel wiring section 191 in which some of the harnesses 157 in the first parallel wiring section 190 branch off to an electrical component 135 and the other multiple harnesses 155, 156 are wired in parallel, the fasteners 194 for fastening the harnesses 155-157 of the first parallel wiring section 190 and the fasteners 208 for fastening the harnesses 155, 156 of the second parallel wiring section 191 may be one, two or more.

[0213] In the game component 16 having the protruding portion 120, 128 protruding to the rear side, the plurality of electric components 123, 133, 135, and the plurality of harnesses 155-157 connected to the respective electric components 123, 133, 135, when the harnesses 155-157 are arranged via the rear side of the protruding portion 120, 128, it is preferable to provide the protruding portion 120, 128 with a slippage prevention portion 201, 211 for preventing the harnesses 155-157 from slipping out of position. In this case, the slippage prevention portion 201, 211 may be provided only on the harness avoidance portion side so as to prevent the harnesses 155-157 from moving to the harness avoidance portion side, or may be provided on both the upper and lower sides of the harnesses 155-157.

[0214] Furthermore, when wiring the harnesses 155-157 via the rear routing portions 200, 210 that route behind the protruding portions 120, 128, it is desirable to provide fasteners for the harnesses 155-157 on both sides of the protruding portions 120, 128, but it is also possible to provide fasteners 194, 208 on one side of the protruding portions 120, 128 and make the opposite side a junction or branching portion of the harnesses 155-157. In that case, it is also possible to provide a linking portion so that the harnesses 155-157 do not separate, for example by loosely twisting the harnesses 155-157 on the opposite junction or branching portion side.
