In addition, the sub-control board 90 receives signals (information) sent from the main control board 80, performs various calculations to execute effects, and controls various effect devices such as the liquid crystal display and speaker based on the calculation results.

[0030] The main control board 80 is provided with a setting change key cylinder, setting change buttons, etc. The setting change key cylinder and setting change buttons may be provided in the power supply unit 10, for example.

[0031] Furthermore, the main control board 80 and the sub-control board 90 are electrically connected, and various information (signals) such as information indicating the game status can be transmitted from the main control board 80 to the sub-control board 90, but information cannot be transmitted from the sub-control board 90 to the main control board 80. The functions of each board, such as the main control board 80 and the sub-control board 90, are realized by hardware such as various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ICs, or information storage media such as ROM or RAM, or by software consisting of a predetermined program pre-stored in ROM, etc.

[0032] The power supply unit 10 includes a power supply board. The power supply board generates DC power (e.g., 12V, 24V, etc.) from power sent from outside the gaming machine via a power cable, and supplies the power to each board, etc. of the gaming machine. The supply of power from the power supply board 10A will be described with reference to FIG. 4. The power supply board 10A receives power from an external source and generates DC (direct current) 24V power. The power supply board 10A also generates DC 12V from DC 24V power. The power supply board 10A may also generate DC 5V or DC 37V. The power supply board 10A can supply some or all of the generated power to boards, etc. within the gaming machine. The power supply from outside the gaming machine may be commercial AC (alternating current) 100V power or AC 24V power.

[0033] Power supply board 10A supplies DC 24V and DC 12V power to sub-control board 90. A relay board (not shown) may be provided to relay the power output from power supply board 10A to sub-control board 90. Sub-control board 90 is equipped with a power generation unit 91 (power supply IC). Power generation unit 91 generates DC 3.3V power from the DC 12V power received from power supply board 10A (relay board), and supplies the power to the logic circuit within sub-control board 90.

[0034] Although not shown in the figures, the sub-control board 90 may generate DC 5V power from DC 12V power and supply power to the logic circuitry within the sub-control board 90. The sub-control board 90 may also generate DC 1.05V power from DC 12V power and supply power to the logic circuitry within the sub-control board 90.

[0035] The sub-control board 90 supplies, for example, DC 12V and DC 24V power to the sub-control unit 200. The sub-control board 90 may also supply the generated DC 5V power to the sub-control unit 200. The sub-control unit 200 collectively refers to a plurality of sub-control devices that input signals from the sub-control board 90 or output signals to the sub-control board 90. Examples of the sub-control devices that make up the sub-control unit 200 include an LCD display, lighting devices (lamps), speakers, effect buttons 36, and movable props. The electrical elements in each sub-control device of the sub-control unit 200 operate by receiving power (for example, DC 12V, DC 24V) from the sub-control board 90. Some sub-control devices may be supplied with power without going through the sub-control board 90.

[0036] FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the sub-control board 90. The sub-control board 90 is equipped with a CPU 300 as a control means (performance control means). The sub-control board 90 also has a control ROM 301, a crystal oscillator 302, a RAM 303, and a watchdog timer IC 304. The control ROM 301 stores a program related to performance control. The CPU 300 controls performance by accessing the control ROM 301 via the CPU bus and executing the program stored in the control ROM 301. The watchdog timer IC 304 is connected to the reset terminal of the CPU 300, and outputs a reset signal to the CPU 300 when a predetermined condition is met (for example, when it detects that the voltage is unstable). The RAM 303 serves as a storage area for backup data. The crystal oscillator 302 generates a clock signal of a predetermined frequency.

[0037] The effect determination unit of the CPU 300 determines the content of the effect to be executed based on various commands sent from the main control board 80, input signals from the effect buttons 36, etc. The display control unit, sound control unit, lamp control unit, and motor control unit of the CPU 300 also control the execution of the effect determined by the effect determination unit.

[0038] (image) The VDP 305 is a processor that performs image processing (drawing processing) related to the display of images (video) on the LCD display in accordance with commands from the display control unit, and is integrated with the CPU 300 on a single chip. The VDP 305 has built-in VRAM and a decoder. The display control unit controls the VDP 305 based on the determined performance content and controls the display on the LCD display. The display control unit executes LCD drawing processing at a predetermined cycle (for example, at a frame rate of 60 times per second = 60 FPS). In the LCD drawing processing, it creates commands (information) that instruct the VDP 305 on the drawing content. Based on the commands, the VDP 305 reads the necessary drawing materials from the image / audio ROM 310 and performs drawing (generating image data representing one frame image in the frame buffer), generates LCD signals, and outputs them to the LCD board. The liquid crystal signal consists of, for example, an input video signal (R, G, B) and an input control signal, and examples of the input control signal include a horizontal synchronization signal (HSYNC), a vertical synchronization signal (VSYNC), a clock signal (CLK), and a data enable signal (DE).

[0039] The liquid crystal substrate is equipped with a signal conversion circuit (signal conversion means), which generates a driving signal to be sent to the liquid crystal display based on the input liquid crystal signal. The signal input to the liquid crystal substrate is converted by the signal conversion circuit, and the generated signal is input to the liquid crystal display. As a result, in the display area of ​​the liquid crystal display, for example, 60 frames of images (still images) are displayed per second, and moving image performance images are displayed. Note that one frame may also be referred to as a "frame." For example, in the case of a performance image (performance pattern) with a performance time of 60 seconds, the performance image is composed of 60 seconds x 60 frames, for a total of 3,600 frames.

[0040] (audio) The audio IC 306 controls the audio output from the speaker in accordance with commands from the audio control unit. The audio IC 306 is integrated with the CPU 300 on a single chip. The audio IC 306 has a built-in decoder. The audio IC 306 is also connected to the amplifier 307. The audio control unit controls the audio IC 306 based on the determined performance content and controls the audio output from the speaker. The audio control unit sends commands to the audio IC 306 specifying the audio to be output. Based on the commands, the audio IC 306 reads the necessary audio material from the image / audio ROM 310, generates an audio signal, and outputs it. The amplifier 307 converts the signal input from the audio IC 306 from a digital signal to an analog signal and also functions as an amplifier. The amplifier 307 drives the speaker based on the signal (audio signal) sent from the audio IC 306, causing sound to be output from the speaker. The audio IC 306 can also control the output volume from the speaker based on an input signal from a volume adjustment switch 95 (described later).

[0041] In this embodiment, the amplifier 307 is arranged on the sub-control board 90, but this is not limiting, and the amplifier 307 may be arranged on a board different from the sub-control board 90.

[0042] (lamp) The lamp control unit controls the lighting patterns (including color and brightness) of various lights (lamps) provided in the slot machine 100. The lamp control unit generates a command (lighting control signal) based on the determined performance content and outputs it to the driver IC of the illumination board. The illumination board is a board that controls the lighting (light emission) of various lamps (LEDs). The driver IC controls the voltage applied to the lamps (LEDs) based on the input lighting control signal. The lighting of the lamps is controlled via the driver IC of the illumination board. The lighting control signal is a serial signal. The lamp control unit may be provided integrally with the CPU 300 or separately from the CPU 300.

[0043] (movable parts) In this embodiment, a movable prop performance can be executed at the front door 20, in which a movable prop (movable body) moves at a predetermined trigger. The motor control unit controls the operation of the motor that serves as the drive source for the movable prop. The motor control unit generates a command (motor control signal) based on the determined performance content and outputs it to the driver IC of the movable prop control board. The movable prop control board is a board that controls the operation of the motor. The driver IC controls the voltage applied to the motor based on the input motor control signal. The operation of the motor is controlled via the driver IC of the movable prop control board. The motor control unit may be provided integrally with the CPU 300 or may be provided separately from the CPU 300.

[0044] In the above explanation, the motor control unit controls the operation of the motor that drives the movable props, but the motor control unit may also control the operation of the motor that drives the effect button 36. In other words, the effect button 36 may be configured to be able to execute an effect in which it vibrates at a predetermined trigger, and the motor control unit may control the operation of the motor that vibrates the effect button 36.

[0045] (Board configuration) FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the sub-control board 90 viewed from the direction facing the component side (board surface). The component side can be referred to as the surface layer. The sub-control board 90 has, for example, a horizontally elongated, approximately rectangular shape.

By connecting a mating connector to the first connector 92, the sub-control board 90 and the liquid crystal board are electrically connected.

[0047] A wiring pattern (referred to as signal line L1) is provided on the component side of the sub-control board 90, connecting the terminals (corresponding through holes) of the CPU 300 and the terminals (corresponding through holes) of the first connector 92. The CPU 300 can output a liquid crystal signal (first signal) to the liquid crystal board via the signal line L1 (and the first connector 92). The liquid crystal signal can be said to be a signal related to the display of images (a signal related to the execution of a performance).

[0048] 6, a second connector 93 is mounted on the outer periphery of the component surface of the sub-control board 90 (along a predetermined side (first side) of the sub-control board 90). The second connector 93 is a connector used to connect to the above-mentioned illumination board. By connecting a mating connector to the second connector 93, the sub-control board 90 and the illumination board are electrically connected.

[0049] The component side of the sub-control board 90 is provided with a wiring pattern (signal line L2) that connects the terminals (through holes corresponding to the terminals) of the CPU 300 and the terminals (through holes corresponding to the terminals) of the second connector 93. The CPU 300 can output a lighting control signal (second signal) to the illumination board via the signal line L2 (and the second connector 93). The lighting control signal can be said to be a signal related to lighting the lights (a signal related to the execution of a performance).

[0050] Here, if the signal line L1 and the signal line L2 are referred to as the first signal line, the first signal line can be said to be a signal related to the execution of a performance output by the CPU 300. Note that the term "first signal line" does not necessarily refer to both the signal line L1 and the signal line L2, but may refer to at least one of the signal line L1 and the signal line L2.

[0051] A first switch 95 is mounted on the outer periphery of the component side of the sub-control board 90, near a second side opposite the first side. The first switch 95 is a rotary switch whose knob can be rotated to set the level (setting value) to one of multiple levels. The first switch 95 is a switch (volume adjustment switch) for adjusting the volume of the sound output from the speaker. A wiring pattern (signal line L3) connecting a terminal (corresponding to a through-hole) of the CPU 300 and a terminal (corresponding to a through-hole) of the first switch 95 is provided on the component side of the sub-control board 90. The CPU 300 can receive a signal (third signal) related to the operation of the first switch 95 via the signal line L3.

[0052] Additionally, a second switch 96 is mounted on the outer periphery of the component side of the sub-control board 90, near a second side opposite the first side. The second switch 96 is a momentary switch that can be pressed down. The second switch 96 is, for example, a switch (reset switch) for resetting the performance. A wiring pattern (signal line L4) is provided on the component side of the sub-control board 90, connecting a terminal (corresponding to a through-hole) of the CPU 300 and a terminal (corresponding to a through-hole) of the second switch 96. The CPU 300 can receive a signal (fourth signal) related to the operation of the second switch 96 via the signal line L4.

[0053] The signal lines L3 and L4 may be referred to as second signal lines. Furthermore, the term "second signal line" does not necessarily refer to both the signal lines L3 and L4, but may refer to at least one of the signal lines L3 and L4.

[0054] Also, in Figure 6, signal lines L1, L2, L3 and L4 are all provided (routed) on the component surface (surface layer), but at least a portion of signal lines L1, L2, L3 and L4 may be provided on another layer (back surface layer) of the sub-control board 90.

[0055] The sub-control board 90 has the function of relaying power supplied from the power supply board 10A to other boards, etc. The sub-control board 90 is also a multi-layer board. In this embodiment, the sub-control board 90 is configured to include a surface layer (component surface, signal layer) as an outer layer, a power supply layer as an inner layer, and a back layer (component surface, signal layer) as an outer layer.

[0056] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the power supply layer viewed from the direction directly facing the power supply layer (the same direction as FIG. 6). The sub-control board 90 has wiring (patterns) on the inner layer of the board that transmits the power (power) supplied from the power supply board 10A. The power supply layer is provided with wiring (patterns) not only for the power supplied from the power supply board 10A, but also for the power (3.3V) generated by the sub-control board 90. Hereinafter, the pattern that transmits power in the power supply layer will be referred to as the power supply pattern. The power supply pattern can also be referred to as the power line, power wire, power supply path, etc.

[0057] The power supply layer is provided with a power supply pattern V1 (solid power supply pattern) for 24V power supply, a power supply pattern V2 (solid power supply pattern) for 12V power supply, a power supply pattern V3 (solid power supply pattern) for 3.3V power supply, and a ground pattern V0 (solid ground).

[0058] By arranging the power supply pattern on the power supply layer (concentrating it on an inner layer) rather than on the same layer (e.g., the surface layer) as the signal line (e.g., signal line L1) is located, the area of ​​the solid ground on the surface layer (other layer) can be increased. This reduces the effect of noise on the signal transmitted by the signal line. Also, by using an inner layer, a larger area can be secured for the power supply pattern (solid power supply pattern).

[0059] In the power supply layer, a low-voltage (low-current) power supply pattern is provided on the inside (towards the centre of the board) and a high-voltage (high-current) power supply pattern is provided on the outside (towards the periphery of the board).It can be said that in the power supply layer, no high-voltage (12V, 24V) power supply pattern is provided in the centre.

[0060] FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram in which a surface layer (referred to as the first layer) and a power supply layer (referred to as the second layer) are superimposed, with the surface layer being displayed as transparent. Hereinafter, the thickness direction of the plate-shaped sub-control board 90 (the direction perpendicular to the paper surface) will be referred to as the "thickness direction of the board." The thickness direction of the board can also be referred to as the stacking direction of the board. In addition, one surface of the outer layer of the sub-control board 90 will be referred to as the board surface, and the thickness direction of the board will sometimes be referred to as the direction perpendicular to the board surface of the sub-control board 90.

[0061] The CPU 300 is arranged at a position overlapping the 3.3V power supply pattern V3 (a position corresponding to the power supply pattern V3) when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the board surface of the sub-control board 90 (in the thickness direction of the board). The first connector 92 and the second connector 93 are positioned so as to overlap the 12V power supply pattern V2 (at a position corresponding to the power supply pattern V2) when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the board surface of the sub-control board 90 (in the thickness direction of the board). When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the board surface of the sub-control board 90, the signal line L1 overlaps the power supply pattern V3 and the power supply pattern V2, but does not overlap the power supply pattern V1. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the board surface of the sub-control board 90, the signal line L2 overlaps with the power supply pattern V3 and the power supply pattern V2, but does not overlap with the power supply pattern V1.

[0062] The power (24V) transmitted by power supply pattern V1 (specific power supply pattern) is power supplied to the amplifier 307 that drives the speaker and the motor that drives the specified performance device (movable prop or performance button 36). Because power supply pattern V1 has a relatively large load fluctuation (a relatively large current flows), it is prone to generating noise (emit noise) due to voltage fluctuations (up and down). In other words, power supply pattern V1 of the power supply layer is prone to generating noise.

[0063] The first and second signals are digital signals whose waveforms repeatedly fluctuate up and down. The signal lines L1 and L2 can be considered digital signal transmission paths (signal transmission paths). On the other hand, the third and fourth signals are switch output signals that exhibit a constant value (e.g., High or Low). Therefore, the first and second signals are more susceptible to noise than switch-related signals (the third and fourth signals). Even when the third and fourth signals are affected by noise, processing based on the reception of the signals can be properly performed. In contrast, the first and second signals are more likely to be improperly processed when affected by noise. The first and second signals (high-speed signals susceptible to noise) can be considered important signals because, when affected by noise (when the signal waveforms are distorted), problems such as improper processing based on the reception of the signals can occur (including malfunctions).

[0064] In this embodiment, the signal line L1 through which the first signal is transmitted and the signal line L2 through which the second signal is transmitted are routed (wired) in a position (range) that does not overlap with the 24V power supply pattern V1 (noise source) when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the board surface of the sub-control board 90 (in the thickness direction of the board). In other words, the signal line L1 and the signal line L2 are not provided in a range that overlaps with the power supply pattern V1 when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the board surface of the sub-control board 90.

[0065] The distance between the signal line L1 and the 24V power supply pattern V1 and the distance between the signal line L2 and the power supply pattern V1 are relatively large. In other words, the signal lines L1 and L2 are located farther away from the 24V power supply pattern V1. Therefore, even if noise occurs in the 24V power supply pattern V1 of the power supply layer, the first signal and the second signal are less susceptible to the effects of the noise. In other words, the effects of noise on the first signal and the second signal can be reduced.

[0066] The power (12V) transmitted by the power supply pattern V2 of the power supply layer is supplied to, for example, lighting (LEDs), but lighting has smaller load fluctuations than speakers or motors. Therefore, the power supply pattern V2 is less likely to be a source of noise than the power supply pattern V1. Therefore, it is permissible to arrange at least a portion of the signal lines L1 and L2 in a position overlapping the 12V power supply pattern V2 when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the board surface of the sub-control board 90. However, it is more preferable that the signal lines L1 and L2 not be arranged in a position overlapping the 12V power supply pattern V2.

[0067] Although not shown, a watchdog timer IC 304 is disposed near the CPU 300. The watchdog timer IC 304 is disposed in a position (area) overlapping with the 3.3V power supply pattern V3 when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the sub-control board 90 (in the thickness direction of the board). If the wiring pattern connecting the reset terminal (the corresponding through-hole) of the CPU 300 and the terminal (the corresponding through-hole) of the watchdog timer IC 304 is designated as signal line L5 (not shown), the signal line L5 is routed in a position not overlapping with the 24V power supply pattern V1 when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the sub-control board 90. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the sub-control board 90, the signal line L5 is disposed in a position overlapping with the 3.3V power supply pattern V3. The reset signal (fifth signal) is an important signal that has a relatively large impact if not transmitted correctly, so the signal line L5 is routed in a position not overlapping with the 24V power supply pattern V1. Therefore, even if noise occurs in the 24V power supply pattern V1, the fifth signal is less susceptible to the influence of the noise. In other words, the influence of noise on the fifth signal can be reduced.

[0068] Meanwhile, the first switch 95 and the second switch 96 are arranged in positions overlapping the 24V power supply pattern V1 when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the sub-control board 90 (in the thickness direction of the board). At least a portion of the signal lines L3 and L4 are arranged in positions overlapping the 24V power supply pattern V1 when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the sub-control board 90 (in the thickness direction of the board). As described above, even if the third and fourth signals are affected by noise, processing based on the reception of the signals can be properly performed. Therefore, at least a portion of the signal lines L3 and L4 is permitted to overlap the 24V power supply pattern V1. By arranging at least a portion of a predetermined switch (first switch 95 or second switch 96) or signal line (signal line L3 or signal line L4) in a position overlapping the 24V power supply pattern V1 and utilizing that space, the degree of freedom in board design can be further improved.

[0069] Although this embodiment has been described using a sub-control board 90 (specific board), the above-mentioned configuration may be adopted not only for the sub-control board 90 but also for other boards (e.g., relay boards) provided in the gaming machine, thereby reducing the effect of noise on a specified signal.

[0070] The gaming machine of this embodiment is A specific board (sub-control board 90) on which a control means (CPU 300) for controlling the execution of the performance is arranged; a power supply board (power supply board 10A) capable of supplying power to the specific board; The specific substrate comprises an outer layer and an inner layer, The outer layer is provided with a first signal line (signal line L1 or signal line L2) for transmitting a signal related to the execution of the performance output by the control means, a power supply pattern for transmitting power supplied from the power supply board is provided on the inner layer; The power supply patterns include a specific power supply pattern (power supply pattern V1) that can supply power to an amplifier (amplifier 307) that drives a speaker, The first signal line is provided at a position where it does not overlap the specific power supply pattern in the thickness direction of the specific substrate.

[0071] In addition, the gaming machine of this embodiment has A specific board (sub-control board 90) on which a control means (CPU 300) for controlling the execution of the performance is arranged; a power supply board (power supply board 10A) capable of supplying power to the specific board; The specific substrate comprises an outer layer and an inner layer, The outer layer is provided with a first signal line (signal line L1 or signal line L2) for transmitting a signal related to the execution of the performance output by the control means, a power supply pattern for transmitting power supplied from the power supply board is provided on the inner layer; The power supply pattern includes a specific power supply pattern (power supply pattern V1) that can supply power to a motor that drives a predetermined performance device (movable prop or performance button 36), The first signal line is provided at a position where it does not overlap the specific power supply pattern in the thickness direction of the specific substrate.

[0072] The specific power supply pattern transmits power supplied to an amplifier (or motor) and is prone to becoming a noise source due to large load fluctuations. In this embodiment, the first signal line is provided at a position that does not overlap with the specific power supply pattern in the thickness direction of the specific board. This reduces the influence (disturbance of the signal) of the signal (signal related to the execution of the performance) that passes through the first signal line due to noise generated in the specific power supply pattern. In other words, the influence of noise on the signal can be reduced.

[0073] In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, A predetermined switch (first switch 95 or second switch 96) is arranged on the specific board, a second signal line (signal line L3 or signal line L4) connecting the predetermined switch and the control means is provided on the outer layer; At least a portion of the second signal line is provided at a position overlapping the specific power supply pattern in the thickness direction of the specific substrate.

[0074] By providing at least a part of the second signal line at a position overlapping the specific power supply pattern and making effective use of space, the degree of freedom in board design can be further improved.

[0075] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The gaming machine of this embodiment has the same configuration as the gaming machine of the first embodiment. Therefore, the description of the same configuration as the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified.

[0076] 9 is a schematic diagram of the sub-control board 90 according to this embodiment, viewed from the direction facing the surface layer (component surface, board surface). The sub-control board 90 is a multi-layer board. In this embodiment, the sub-control board 90 is configured to include a surface layer (component surface, signal layer) as an outer layer, a power supply layer as an inner layer, and a back surface layer (component surface, signal layer) as an outer layer.

[0077] The main electronic components arranged on the surface layer (component surface) of the sub-control board 90 include a CPU 300, a control ROM 301, a RAM 303, a first amplifier 307a, a second amplifier 307b, a power supply IC 311 (regulator), a power supply IC 312 (regulator), a power supply IC 313 (regulator), a backup capacitor 314, a first connector CN1, and a second connector CN2. The sub-control board 90 receives power (power from upstream) from the power supply board 10A (FIG. 4) via the first connector CN1. Specifically, the sub-control board 90 receives power of a first high voltage (18V), a second high voltage (24V), and a third high voltage (12V). The sub-control board 90 also outputs (supplies downstream) the first high voltage (18V), the second high voltage (24V), and the third high voltage (12V) via the second connector CN2. The sub-control board 90 has a function of relaying the first high voltage power, the second high voltage power, and the third high voltage power supplied from the power supply board 10A.

[0078] When a power supply pattern (solid power supply pattern) transmitting a first high-voltage power, a power supply pattern (solid power supply pattern) transmitting a second high-voltage power, and a power supply pattern (solid power supply pattern) transmitting a third high-voltage power are provided on the surface layer (component surface) of the sub-control board 90, the power supply pattern transmitting the high-voltage power is more likely to generate noise than the power supply pattern transmitting the low-voltage power, so it is considered to provide the power supply pattern away from the CPU 300 and on the outer periphery of the board. However, in this case, providing the power supply pattern transmitting the high-voltage power on the outer periphery of the board creates a problem in that the placement of components on the outer periphery is restricted. Therefore, in this embodiment, such a problem is avoided by providing a layer (power supply layer) dedicated to power supply on the inner layer of the sub-control board 90 and routing the wiring (power supply pattern) for the power supply (power supplied from the power supply board 10A) on the power supply layer.

[0079] 10 is a schematic diagram of the power supply layer of the sub-control board 90, viewed from the direction directly opposite the power supply layer (the same direction as in FIG. 9). In the power supply layer, a first high-voltage power supply pattern, a second high-voltage power supply pattern, and a third high-voltage power supply pattern are provided on the outer periphery of the board (routed along the periphery of the board).

[0080] FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram in which a surface layer (first layer) is overlaid on a power supply layer (second layer) and the surface layer is used for transmissive display. The surface layer (component surface) is provided with first specific wiring P1 electrically connected to the first high-voltage (18V) power supply pattern of the power supply layer via through holes (via holes). The first specific wiring P1 extends from the outside to the inside of the substrate and is connected to (the terminal of) the power supply IC 311. The power supply IC 311 generates first low-voltage (e.g., 3.3V) power from the first high-voltage (18V) power. The generated first low-voltage power is supplied to the power supply layer via the through holes (via holes). The first low-voltage power supply pattern is provided in the center of the power supply layer (Figure 10).

[0081] The surface layer is provided with second specific wiring P2 electrically connected to the third high voltage (12 V) power supply pattern of the power supply layer via a through hole (via hole). The second specific wiring P2 extends from the outside to the inside of the substrate and is connected to (the terminal of) the power supply IC 312. The power supply IC 312 generates second low voltage (e.g., 1.05 V) power from the third high voltage (12 V) power. The generated second low voltage power is supplied to the power supply layer via the through hole (via hole). A second low voltage power supply pattern is provided in the center of the power supply layer (Figure 10).

[0082] The surface layer is provided with third specific wiring P3 electrically connected to the third high voltage (12V) power supply pattern of the power supply layer via a through hole (via hole). The third specific wiring P3 extends from the outside to the inside of the substrate and is connected to (the terminal of) the power supply IC 313. The power supply IC 313 generates third low voltage (e.g., 1.2V) power from the third high voltage (12V) power. The generated third low voltage power is supplied to the power supply layer via the through hole (via hole). A third low voltage power supply pattern is provided in the center of the power supply layer (Figure 10).

[0083] The surface layer is provided with a fourth specified wiring P4 electrically connected to the third high voltage (12V) power supply pattern of the power supply layer via a through hole (via hole). The fourth specified wiring P4 extends from the outside to the inside of the board and is connected to (the terminal of) a backup capacitor 314. The backup capacitor 314 functions as a power storage device. When the power supply to the sub-control board 90 is cut off (during a power outage), the backup capacitor 314 supplies power (backup power) to the RAM 303. This allows the data stored in the RAM 303 to be retained.

[0084] The surface layer is provided with a first amplifier 307a and a second amplifier 307b. The surface layer is also provided with a fifth specified wiring P5 and a sixth specified wiring P6, which are electrically connected to the second high-voltage (24V) power supply pattern of the power supply layer via through holes (via holes). The fifth specified wiring P5 extends from the outside to the inside of the substrate and is connected to (a terminal of) the first amplifier 307a. The sixth specified wiring P6 extends from the outside to the inside of the substrate and is connected to (a terminal of) the second amplifier 307b. The first amplifier 307a and the second amplifier 307b drive the speaker based on a signal (audio signal) sent from the audio IC 306, causing sound to be output from the speaker.

[0085] On the surface layer, a CPU 300 is arranged in the center, and many signal lines related to important signals are provided around the CPU 300.

[0086] A first low-voltage power supply pattern, a second low-voltage power supply pattern, and a third low-voltage power supply pattern are provided at the center of the power supply layer (FIG. 10). It can be said that the low-voltage power supply patterns are provided at positions overlapping with the CPU 300 in the thickness direction of the board. The CPU 300 is supplied with low-voltage power generated by the sub-control board 90. The low-voltage power supply patterns in the power supply layer are less likely to generate noise than the high-voltage power supply patterns. The low-voltage power supply patterns are less likely to affect signals transmitted through signal lines provided at overlapping positions in the thickness direction of the board.

[0087] No high-voltage power supply pattern is provided in a position that overlaps with the CPU 300 in the thickness direction of the board. As shown in Figure 10, the first high-voltage power supply pattern, the second high-voltage power supply pattern, and the third high-voltage power supply pattern are provided on the outer periphery (along the periphery) of the power supply layer. High-voltage power supply patterns are likely to generate noise and affect surrounding signals (signals transmitted through signal lines). By providing the high-voltage power supply patterns on the outer periphery of the power supply layer, it is possible to prevent the high-voltage power supply patterns from affecting signals transmitted through signal lines provided on the central side of the outer layer (front or back layer).

[0088] On the surface layer, components to which high-voltage power is supplied include power supply IC 311 to power supply IC 313, backup capacitor 314, first amplifier 307a, and second amplifier 307b. If the components to which high-voltage power is supplied are arranged on the outer periphery (along the periphery), there is a possibility that they may interfere with surrounding components (for example, the case covering sub-control board 90). Therefore, the components to which high-voltage power is supplied are arranged on the inside rather than along the periphery, but are arranged outside the arrangement position of CPU 300.

[0089] On the surface layer, first specified wiring P1 to sixth specified wiring P6 are provided as wirings that connect (electrically connect) components to which high-voltage power is supplied (power supply IC 311 to power supply IC 313, backup capacitor 314, first amplifier 307a, and second amplifier 307b) with the high-voltage power supply pattern on the power supply layer. The first specified wiring P1 to sixth specified wiring P6 extend from the outside to the inside of the board. Note that, although the first specified wiring P1 to sixth specified wiring P6 are shown as straight lines in FIG. 11, the first specified wiring P1 to sixth specified wiring P6 may have bent portions. The width of each of the first specified wiring P1 to sixth specified wiring P6 is smaller than the width of the power supply pattern (solid power supply pattern) on the power supply layer.

[0090] High-voltage wiring on the surface layer is likely to radiate noise and affect signals transmitted through surrounding signal lines. In this embodiment, a high-voltage power supply pattern is provided on the power supply layer (on the outer periphery of the power supply layer), and minimum wiring (first specified wiring P1 to sixth specified wiring P6) is provided on the surface layer. In this embodiment, high-voltage power supply patterns with large pattern widths (first high-voltage power supply pattern (solid pattern), second high-voltage power supply pattern (solid pattern), and third high-voltage power supply pattern (solid pattern)) are not provided on the outer periphery of the surface layer, but these power supply patterns are provided on inner layers (power supply layers), and the surface layer is provided with the minimum necessary (narrow-width) patterns (first specified wiring P1 to sixth specified wiring P6) from these power supply patterns.

[0091] This makes it possible to prevent high-voltage power lines on the surface layer from affecting signals transmitted through peripheral signal lines (particularly signal lines related to the CPU 300).It also makes it possible to prevent wiring (high-voltage power lines) that could be a noise source from running near signal lines (signal lines for important signals) related to the CPU 300 that are provided toward the center of the board.

[0092] Although this embodiment has been described using a sub-control board 90 (specific board), the above-mentioned configuration may be adopted not only for the sub-control board 90 but also for other boards (e.g., relay boards) provided in the gaming machine, thereby reducing the effect of noise on a specified signal.

[0093] The gaming machine of this embodiment is a specific board (sub-control board 90) on which a predetermined component (e.g., a power supply IC 311) is arranged; a power supply board (power supply board 10A) capable of supplying power to the specific board; the specific substrate comprises a first layer and a second layer; a power supply pattern for transmitting power of a predetermined voltage supplied from the power supply substrate is provided on the outer periphery of the second layer; The first layer has a specific wiring (e.g., specific wiring P1) that is electrically connected to the power supply pattern of the second layer and supplies the power to the specified component, extending from the outside to the inside.

[0094] Wiring that transmits power of a predetermined voltage supplied from a power supply board is likely to be a source of noise. In this embodiment, the power supply pattern is provided on the outer periphery of the second layer, and the specific wiring from the power supply pattern on the first layer is configured to extend from the outside to the inside, thereby relatively reducing the number of wirings that transmit power of the predetermined voltage on the first layer (reducing the area of ​​the wiring). This configuration can suppress the influence of noise on signals transmitted through signal lines provided on the center side of the first layer. In other words, the influence of noise on signals can be reduced.

[0095] In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, The predetermined component generates power of a voltage lower than the predetermined voltage from power of the predetermined voltage, and therefore the power of a voltage lower than the predetermined voltage generated by the predetermined component can be supplied to a component disposed on the central side of the first layer.

[0096] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, within the scope of the present invention, the embodiments can be freely combined, or any of the components of the embodiments can be modified, or any of the components can be omitted. For example, the configuration of the slot machine is not limited to that of the above-described embodiments.

[0097] Furthermore, the above-described configurations can be applied not only to slot machines but also to other gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines and medal-less gaming machines. The present invention can be applied to gaming machines, which include slot machines, pachinko gaming machines, and medal-less gaming machines (controlled slot machines that are designed so that players can play without using gaming medals).
