Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of enhancing interest in a game.SOLUTION: When a start lever provided in a slot machine is operated after a retained token is bet, a lottery of winning combinations is held inside and reels visible through display windows start rotating. When a stop result of reels is a winning result corresponding to a winning combination, tokens are imparted and a replay privilege is imparted. In the slot machine, control concerning progress of a game is performed by a main control device and control concerning the number of retained tokens is performed by a token number control device. In this case, the main control device transmits model ID information to the token number control device in steps S300105 and S300113 as a pre-stage before shifting to normal processing, and a step S300110 as a pre-stage before performing critical error processing in main processing started when power is turned on.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 490
