Game machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of suitably executing reception of information.SOLUTION: A putout-side MPU 551 includes a first reception terminal 611, and a putout-side reception buffer 613 for storing information received by the first reception terminal 611. A reception limitation circuit 621 generates a predetermined limitation state in which a stage change in a signal inputted to the first reception terminal 611 is limited. The reception limitation circuit 621 becomes a predetermined limitation state in a situation from execution of resetting of the putout-side MPU 551 to execution of a reset correspondence signal starting processing, and becomes a state in which a predetermined limitation state is canceled in a situation after execution of starting processing of a reset correspondence signal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 303

Claims

In a gaming machine having a specific control means for executing various processes, The specific control means is A predetermined receiving means; a received information storage means for storing information received by the predetermined receiving means; Equipped with The gaming machine includes a predetermined reception limiting means for generating a predetermined limiting state in which a change in state of a signal input to the predetermined reception means is limited, A gaming machine characterized in that the specified reception restriction means enters the specified restriction state in a specified situation, and in a specific situation different from the specified situation, the specified reception restriction means enters a specified restriction release state in which the specified restriction state is released.

2. 2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, further comprising a predetermined restriction signal output means for outputting a predetermined restriction signal for putting said predetermined reception restriction means into said predetermined restriction state.

3. 3. The gaming machine according to claim 2, wherein the specific control means is provided with the predetermined restriction signal output means.

4. the predetermined reception limiting means includes corresponding data output means for outputting a predetermined data corresponding signal corresponding to a state of the predetermined data signal input to the predetermined reception limiting means to the predetermined receiving means, when the predetermined restriction signal is not input to the predetermined reception restriction means, the state of the predetermined data corresponding signal output from the corresponding data output means changes in response to a change in state of the predetermined data signal input to the predetermined reception restriction means, thereby entering the predetermined restriction release state; A gaming machine as described in claim 2 or 3, characterized in that when the specified restriction signal is input to the specified reception restriction means, the specified restriction state is entered such that even if the state of the specified data signal input to the specified reception restriction means changes, the state of the specified data corresponding signal output from the corresponding data output means does not change.

5. A gaming machine as described in claim 2 or 3, characterized in that the specified reception restriction means is a circuit that transmits to the specified receiving means a specified data corresponding signal corresponding to a combination of the state of the specified restriction signal and the state of the specified data signal input to the specified reception restriction means.

6. a specific initialization means for performing specific initialization to set the specific control means to a specific initialization state based on the occurrence of a specific initialization trigger, 4. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined state is established based on the specific initialization of the specific control means.

7. The gaming machine described in claim 6, characterized in that the specific control means is provided with a predetermined restriction release means for releasing the predetermined restriction state after the specific initialization state of the specific control means is released and a state in which processing is executed in the specific control means is reached.

8. The specific control means is a specific control process execution means for executing a specific control process after the specific initialization state of the specific control means is released and the specific restriction state is released by the specific restriction release means; means for executing a predetermined abnormality response process based on the data volume of the information stored in the received information storage means being equal to or larger than a specific reference data volume before the specific limited state is released after the specific initialization state of the specific control means is released; 8. The gaming machine according to claim 7, further comprising:

9. the specific control means includes means for setting a predetermined monitoring period before the predetermined restriction state is released by the predetermined restriction release means, The gaming machine described in claim 8, characterized in that the specified abnormality response processing is executed based on the data capacity of the information stored in the received information storage means being equal to or greater than the specific standard data capacity at the end of the specified monitoring period.

10. The specific initialization trigger includes a first specific initialization trigger and a second specific initialization trigger, As the specific initialization state, there are a first specific initialization state which occurs when the specific initialization is performed based on the occurrence of the first specific initialization trigger, and a second specific initialization state which occurs when the specific initialization is performed based on the occurrence of the second specific initialization trigger, When the specific initialization of the specific control means is performed based on the occurrence of the first specific initialization trigger, the specific monitoring period is set after the first specific initialization state of the specific control means is released and before the specific restricted state is released, A gaming machine as described in claim 9, characterized in that when the specific initialization of the specific control means is performed based on the occurrence of the second specific initialization trigger, after the second specific initialization state of the specific control means is released, the specific control processing is started without setting the specified monitoring period.
