Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of suitably resetting control means.SOLUTION: A reset circuit 544 resets a main-side MPU 82 on the basis of occurrence of a reset execution opportunity. A power failure monitoring board 85 causes occurrence of a reset execution opportunity by lowering a first reset signal outputted to the reset circuit 544 from a HI level to a LOW level on the basis that a voltage of second normal operating power monitored by the power failure monitoring board 85 becomes a first reset reference voltage or smaller. A main-side power supply control section 543 causes occurrence of a reset execution opportunity by lowering a second reset signal outputted to the reset circuit 544 from a HI level to a LOW level on the basis that a voltage of second normal operating power monitored by a voltage monitoring circuit 604 becomes a falling detection voltage or smaller.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 280

Claims

A control means for executing various processes; A reset means for resetting the control means when a reset execution trigger occurs; a predetermined reset signal output means for outputting a predetermined reset signal to the reset means based on the occurrence of a predetermined trigger, thereby causing the reset execution trigger to occur; a specific reset signal output means for outputting a specific reset signal to the reset means based on the occurrence of a specific trigger, thereby causing the reset execution trigger to occur; A gaming machine comprising:

2. the control means and the specific reset signal output means are provided on a predetermined board, 2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined reset signal output means is provided on a specific board different from the predetermined board.

3. A predetermined power supply means for outputting operating power for the control means; a predetermined power monitoring means for monitoring a predetermined power output from the predetermined power supply means; Equipped with the predetermined power monitoring means comprises a predetermined trigger identifying means for monitoring the predetermined power supplied from the predetermined power supply means to the predetermined power monitoring means and identifying the occurrence of the predetermined trigger based on a result of the monitoring; 3. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined reset signal output means outputs the predetermined reset signal based on the occurrence of the predetermined trigger being identified by the predetermined trigger identification means.

4. a specific power monitoring means for monitoring a specific power output from the specific power supply means, the specific power monitoring means comprises a specific event identifying means for monitoring the specific power being supplied from the predetermined power supply means to the specific power monitoring means and identifying the occurrence of the specific event based on a result of the monitoring; 4. The gaming machine according to claim 3, wherein the specific reset signal output means outputs the specific reset signal based on the occurrence of the specific event being identified by the specific event identifying means.

5. the specific power output from the specific power supply means is supplied to the specific power monitoring means via the specific power monitoring means, The gaming machine described in claim 4, characterized in that the specified power monitoring means is provided with a means for monitoring the specified power supplied to the specified power monitoring means and for determining that the specified trigger has occurred based on the results of the monitoring.

6. 6. The gaming machine according to claim 5, wherein the predetermined power supply means outputs the predetermined power and the specific power different from the predetermined power.

7. The predetermined power monitoring means includes a predetermined output means for monitoring the supply state of the predetermined power supplied from the predetermined power supply means to the predetermined power monitoring means, and outputting a predetermined power failure signal to the control means based on the occurrence of a predetermined trigger, The control means includes a means for executing a power outage response process based on receiving the predetermined power outage signal, 4. The gaming machine according to claim 3, wherein the predetermined trigger occurs when a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the occurrence of the predetermined trigger.

8. The predetermined power and the specific power are included as powers to be monitored by the predetermined power monitoring means, the predetermined trigger occurs based on a supply state of the predetermined power to the predetermined power monitoring means, 8. The gaming machine according to claim 7, wherein even if the predetermined trigger does not occur, the predetermined trigger occurs based on a supply state of the specific power to the predetermined power monitoring means.

9. The gaming machine described in claim 8, characterized in that in a situation where the supply of operating power is stopped, the timing at which the specific trigger occurs is later than the timing at which the specified trigger occurs based on the supply state of the specified power monitored by the specified power monitoring means.

10. A gaming machine as described in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the reset means is provided with a specified filter that determines that the specified reset signal has been input to the reset means based on the state in which the specified reset signal has been input to the reset means for a period of a specified number of system clocks.
