Description

This invention relates to amusement machines such as pachinko machines. Pachinko machines and other gaming machines are configured to determine whether or not to award a prize to the player by lottery, and based on the lottery result, they display and change symbols, and if a prize is awarded, they stop the symbols in a specific manner, and during the symbol change, they execute a performance related to the lottery result according to one of several types of change patterns. Furthermore, the game boards installed in this type of amusement machine are formed by directly or indirectly attaching ball entry mechanisms and other game components, LCDs and other display means, main control boards and other control boards, etc., to a main board formed to a certain thickness.Regarding the main board, in the past, decorative sheets were attached to the front surface of plywood or the like, but recently transparent main boards made of polycarbonate or the like are often used (so-called transparent game boards). While transparent game boards like these offer the advantage of greater freedom in decoration by placing decorative elements on the back of the transparent main panel, they also have the disadvantage of detracting from the appearance because electrical components such as switches and their wiring become visible from the front. Therefore, the invention described in Patent Document 1 states that by forming a through-pass in a transparent main body plate that is hidden by an opaque component, and inserting the wiring of a ball passage detection switch (detection means) installed at the ball entry opening through this through-pass, the wiring routed on the rear side of the transparent main body plate can be made invisible from the front, thereby improving the appearance.
