Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in a pachinko machine, various electric devices such as a motor, a solenoid, a lamp, a speaker, a detection switch, and a symbol display device are arranged at predetermined positions. Further, on the back side of the pachinko machine, a required number of control boards for controlling the various electric devices are arranged. Each of these control boards and various electric devices is connected by a connection cable (a connection cable formed by one or two connection lines or a connection cable formed by a plurality of connection lines or a large number of connection lines). It is designed to be electrically connected. Therefore, as the number of various electric devices arranged in the pachinko machine increases, the number of control boards also increases, and the number of connection cables for connecting these electric devices and the control board also increases. . For this reason, on the back side of the pachinko machine, the wiring of various connection cables becomes complicated, and these connection cables are liable to be entangled with each other or to a problem that the connection cables are entangled with the back side arrangement member of the pachinko machine. In order to reduce such a problem, it is known to arrange a relay board between various electric devices and a control board corresponding thereto on the back side of the pachinko machine. That is, the relay board is provided with a device connection connector (device connection terminal) corresponding to various electric devices and a board connection connector (substrate connection terminal) corresponding to various control substrates.

The problem of entanglement is eliminated. Also, in the board box, connection terminals (connectors) for the relay board are arranged in a limited space near one side of the control board or near the peripheral edge because of the structure in which the relay board and the control board are connected by the board connection cable. It is possible to eliminate the necessity of performing. In other words, even if the connection terminal is arranged at an arbitrary position near the center of the control board, the connection terminal of the control board and the board connection terminal of the relay board can be easily connected by the board connection cable. . Therefore, the degree of freedom in arranging circuit components on the control board and in designing the pattern wiring can be increased.

A plurality of control boards and one relay board to which the plurality of control boards are connected are housed in the board arrangement area of one board box, respectively, so that each control board is housed in a dedicated board box. The need can be eliminated. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the labor for manufacturing a dedicated board box for each control board, and accordingly, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and the number of assembling steps, thereby achieving cost reduction. Further, in order to connect a plurality of control boards and one relay board, the number of device connection terminals (connectors) provided on the relay board is larger than the number of board connection terminals (connectors) provided on one relay board. It is also possible to reduce the number. That is, in order to connect a plurality of control boards to a desired electrical device, for example, a lamp, a speaker, etc., the relay board integrates device connection terminals (connectors) for the desired electrical device into one. Each control board and the electric device can be connected by one connection cable. For this reason, the number of connection cables for connecting each control board and the electric device can be reduced, and the connection work can be facilitated by the reduced number of connection cables, and the connection failure can be reduced. In addition, it is easy to prevent and manage fraud.
