2. Description of the Related Art A conventional technique will be described with reference to a pachinko machine which is one of gaming machines. As is well known, a pachinko machine has a game board, and the game board is provided with a circular game area surrounded by guide rails. A decorative component is fixed to the upper part of the game board outside the game area.

[0003] However, the present decorative component has a mounting structure in which a mounting boss protruding from the back side is fitted into a mounting hole formed in the game board side. The work is performed by aligning the mounting boss of the decorative component with the mounting hole of the game board, and then pressing the surface of the decorative component with a press.

[0004]

The mounting of the decorative component is performed by pressing a pressing pin (see reference numeral 12 in FIG. 1) of the press machine against the surface of the decorative component. There was a problem that a typical curved surface or slope could not be created. That is, if the decorative surface of the decorative component is formed of a three-dimensional curved surface or slope, the pressing pin of the press machine may hit the curved surface or the slope, and if so, the force of the pressing pin is dispersed and the pressing is insufficient. Alternatively, there is a possibility that the pressing pin slips and scratches the surface of the decorative component. Therefore, the decorative part of the conventional decorative part is flat due to the balance with the pressing pin, and the design of the decorative part is greatly restricted due to the convenience of the assembling process.
