Since the holes 112 are formed so that the corresponding mounting portions 59a and 59b are fitted to each other, the rear end surface of the substrate case 90 (the first opposing protective wall 91a and the second Even when various wirings are handled so as to slide along the opposing protective wall 92a), the wirings are fitted or caught between the engaging portions 110a, 110b and the mounting portions 59a, 59b. Can be prevented, and the engaged state can be stably maintained.

  The board case 90 forms connector exposed portions 101, 102, 103, 104 in accordance with the connector mounting regions CR1 to CR4 located at the outer peripheral edge portion of the mounting surface 51a of the first relay connection board 51, Since the component mounting regions DR1 and DR2 provided on the center side of the board with respect to the connector mounting regions CR1 to CR4 are protected by the first and second protection portions 91 and 92, the board case 90 and the first The relay connection board 51 can be miniaturized as much as possible. In addition, the first relay connection board 51 is provided with connector mounting regions CR1 to CR4 on the four sides (left and right side edges and upper and lower end edges) of the mounting surface 51a, so that a connector connection portion on the board can be provided. The arrangement positions of 60, 61, 62 can be dispersed to reduce the size, and the board installation portion 50 for installing the first relay connection board 51 can be saved in space. At this time, in accordance with the electrical components to be connected (main control board 301 and various sensors and solenoids related to the execution or determination of the game per special figure or game per universal figure), the mounting surface 51a of the first relay connection board 51 is arranged. By disposing the connector connecting portions 60, 61, 62, it is possible to detect fraud early while reducing the size of the board.

  Further, for each of the first to fourth connector mounting regions CR1 to CR4 provided on each side of the first relay connection board 51, either the fraud detection connector connection part 61 or the game progress component connector connection part 62 is provided. Wiring to be attached to and detached from the connector connecting portions 60, 61, 62 by mounting and preventing the connector detecting portion 61 for fraud detection and the connector connecting portion 62 for game progression parts from being mixed in one connector mounting region CR1-CR4. The first relay connector board 51 and the first connector depending on whether the parts connected to the fraud detection sensors SN1 to SN3 or the game progress parts SE3 to SE8, RP, SL1 to SL4 related to the progress of the game By searching the mounting areas CR1 and CR2 or simply searching the third and fourth connector mounting areas CR3 and CR4, the connection destination of the wiring (connector connection portion 6 1, 62) can be confirmed. As described above, since the position of the first relay connection board 51 to be connected is narrowed according to the type of components to which the wiring is connected, it is easy to check the wiring connector and the connector connecting portions 61 and 62 in the correct combination. In addition, it is possible to reduce wiring connection errors. In addition, since the opening direction of the connector mounting ports 61a and 62a is changed for each of the fraud detection connector connection portion 61 and the game progression component connector connection portion 62, the connector connection portion 61 to be searched when wiring is attached or detached. Since 62 can be easily distinguished visually, the workability of wiring attachment / detachment work can be improved. Further, the workability of the wiring attaching / detaching work is improved, so that there is an advantage that the cost can be suppressed at a low cost.

  Further, by coloring each of the plurality of fraud detection connector connection portions 61 with different colors and coloring each of the plurality of game progress component connector connection portions 62 with different colors, a connector of a wiring that forms a correct combination, and The connector connection portions 61 and 62 can be confirmed more easily. Further, by coloring the plurality of fraud detection connector connecting portions 61 so as to be a color combination (combination of complementary colors) in a relationship opposite to each other in the hue ring, the connection destination of the wiring can be easily determined. Similarly, by coloring the plurality of game progression component connector connection portions 62 to have a color combination (combination of complementary colors) in a relationship opposite to each other in the hue circle, the connection destination of the wiring can be easily determined.

  Here, the fraud detection sensors SN1 to SN3 mounted in the first connector mounting region CR1 or the second connector mounting region CR2 do not directly affect the execution of game control in the pachinko machine 10, There are relatively few opportunities to be attached and detached after being connected to the first relay connection board 51. Similarly, the wiring from the main control board 301 does not need to be removed unless there is a problem in signal transmission with the first relay connection board 51. There is relatively little opportunity to be removed after being connected. On the other hand, the game progress parts SE3 to SE8, RP, SL1 to SL4 not only directly affect the execution of game control in the pachinko machine 10, but also by the detection of pachinko balls and the operation of the solenoids SL1 to SL4. It is assumed that it will wear out over time. For this reason, when a detection failure of the various sensors SE3 to SE8, RP or an operation failure of the solenoids SL1 to SL4 occurs, it needs to be replaced quickly, and after being connected to the first relay connection board 51 for maintenance or the like. There is also a tendency that the opportunity to be attached and detached is relatively easy to occur. In other words, the first and second connector mounting regions CR1 and CR2 are the mounting regions of the connector connecting portions 60 and 61 in which wiring attachment / detachment work is unlikely to occur, and the third and fourth connector mounting regions CR3 and CR4 are The connector connection portion 62 is more likely to be attached / detached than the connector connection portions 60 and 61 mounted in the first and second connector mounting regions CR1 and CR2. As described above, the connector connection portions 60, 61, and 62 are classified and mounted in the first to fourth connector mounting regions CR1 to CR4 according to the frequency with which the wiring attachment / detachment operation occurs, so that the connector connection portions 60, 61 are mounted. , 62 can be easily narrowed down.

  In addition, when wiring attachment / detachment work is performed on the first relay connection board 51, an operator works while facing the rear surface of the game board 20 (installation member 40). Here, the attachment port 61a of the fraud detection connector connecting portion 61 to which the wiring connected to the fraud detection sensors SN1 to SN3 that are detachably operated is connected along the mounting surface 51a of the first relay connection board 51. The mounting opening 62a of the game progression component connector connection portion 62 to which the wiring connecting to the game progression components SE3 to SE8, RP, SL1 to SL4, which are opened in the direction and relatively easy to attach and detach, is connected to the first is provided. The relay connection board 51 is opened to the rear so as to intersect (or intersect in the embodiment) with the mounting surface 51a. For this reason, not only can the connection destination be easily determined simply by comparing the connector connecting portions 61 and 62 to which the wiring is connected, but also the game progress parts SE3 to SE8, RP, and SL1 to SL4 that have relatively high work frequencies are connected. Since the wiring can be attached and detached, there is an advantage that workability can be improved. Further, by directing the mounting port 61a of the fraud detection connector connection portion 61 in a direction along the mounting surface 51a of the first relay connection board 51 (outside opening of the connector exposed portions 101 and 102), the fraud detection connector. The detachability of the connector with respect to the mounting opening 61a of the connecting portion 61 can be reduced. Thereby, the fraudulent act with respect to the wiring connected to the connector connection part 61 for fraud detection can be prevented effectively.

  Here, the first relay connection board 51 (mounting surface 51a) has a right side edge (first connector mounting region CR1) located on the opposite side to the second relay connection board 52 from the main control board 301. The connector connector 60 for connecting the wiring is mounted, and the connector for fraud detection to which the wiring from the fraud detection sensors SN1 to SN3 (specifically, the radio wave sensor SN1 and the magnetic sensor SN2) is connected. Part 61 is implemented. Since the wiring connected to the main control board 301 and the corresponding control connector connection section 60 are directly related to signals transmitted to and received from the main control board 301, even among the wirings connected to the first relay connection board 51, It can be considered a relatively fraudulent target. In addition, the fraud detection sensors SN1 to SN3 detect whether or not the pachinko machine 10 is being used in a game under appropriate conditions, and the detection accuracy by the fraud detection sensors SN1 to SN3 is impaired. Since the execution of fraud cannot be detected properly, the wiring connected to the fraud detection sensors SN1 to SN3 and the corresponding fraud detection connector connecting portion 61 are the wirings connected to the first relay connection board 51. But it can be a relatively target of fraud. For this reason, the control connector connecting portion 60 to which the wiring connector from the main control board 301 is connected and the fraud detection connector connecting portion 61 to which the wires from the fraud detection sensors SN1 to SN3 are connected are connected to the second relay connection. By arranging in the first connector mounting region CR1 provided at the right edge of the first relay connection board 51 located on the opposite side of the board 52, the wiring and connector connection parts 60, 61 are connected to the second relay connection board 52.

A fraud detection connector connecting portion 61 to which wiring from fraud detection sensors SN1 to SN3 is connected is mounted on the portion (second connector mounting region CR2). That is, the second connector mounting region CR2 provided on the lower edge portion of the first relay connection board 51 located on the opposite side of the wiring path 53 through which the wiring connected to the second relay connection board 52 is routed is illegal. By arranging the fraud detection connector connecting portion 61 to which the wiring from the detection sensors SN1 to SN3 is connected, it is possible to prevent the visibility from being lost due to the wiring routed to the wiring path 53, and to act illegally. It is possible to contribute to early detection of

  In addition, a second electronic component 65b having a small height is mounted on the first relay connection board 51 so as to surround the first component mounting region DR1 located on the board center side of the first relay connection board 51. A second component mounting region DR2 is provided, and the first and second protection parts 91 and 92 having different separation distances from the first relay connection board 51 are provided on the board case 90 that protects the first relay connection board 51. The first to fourth connector exposed portions 101, 102, 103, 104 are provided along the edges of the second protective portion 92 having a low height, while being provided in accordance with the first and second component mounting regions DR 1, DR 2.
