Abstract

To detect mounting of an LED board that mounts a wrong LED driver IC.SOLUTION: In a game machine, light emitting drive means includes drive data communication means for receiving drive data transmitted by control means, address setting means for setting a device address for checking up with address information included in the drive data, and light emitting signal output means for outputting a light emitting signal for allowing light emitting means to emit light. The drive data communication means includes drive data reception / transmission means for returning a response to the control means when receiving drive data while address information coincides with a device address. The control means determines that the light emitting drive means is normal when there is a response from the drive data reception / transmission means of the light emitting drive means, and determines that it is abnormal when there are no responses from the drive data reception / transmission means of the light emitting drive means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 398

Claims

[Claim 1] A light emitting means; A light emission driving means for driving the light emitting means to emit light; A control means for controlling the light emission driving means, The light emission driving means is a drive data communication means for performing communication to receive the drive data transmitted by the control means; an address setting means for setting a device address for comparison with address information included in the drive data sent from the control means; a light emission signal output means for outputting a light emission signal for causing the light emitting means to emit light; the drive data communication means has a drive data receiving / transmitting means for returning a response to the control means when the address information and the device address match and drive data transmitted from the control means is received; The control means determining that the light emission drive means is normal when there is a response from the drive data receiving / transmitting means of the light emission drive means, and determining that there is an abnormality when there is no response from the drive data receiving / transmitting means of the light emission drive means; the drive data transmitting / receiving means transmits an initialization command as the drive data to the drive data receiving / transmitting means of the light emission drive means; A notification unit is further provided that notifies the occurrence of an abnormality by using at least one of a sound, a light, and an image. When it is determined that an abnormality has occurred, the control means notifies the notification unit of the abnormality in the light emission drive means. A gaming machine characterized by:
