Abstract
To provide a game machine that is improved regarding communication by a serial communication circuit between a main control section and a value control section.SOLUTION: A game machine comprises a main control section 161 for controlling a game, and a token number control section 171 for controlling a credit possessed by a player, wherein the token number control section 171 can be communicably connected to a CU control section 323 of a card unit 3 that is an external connection device. The main control section 161 and the token number control section 171 are microcomputers having the same specifications that have a first serial communication circuit SR1 and a second serial communication circuit SR2, wherein the main control section 161 communicates with the token number control section 171 by using the first serial communication circuit SR1, and the token number control section 171 communicates with the main control section 161 by using the second serial communication circuit SR2, and communicates with the CU control section 323 of the card unit 3 by using the first serial communication circuit SR1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 44
