Game machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of optimizing a configuration for coping with occurrence of power failure.SOLUTION: When supply of operating power to a slot machine is stopped, a power failure signal inputted to a main side MPU 72 falls to a LOW level from a HI level. In a situation in which a power failure signal inputted to the main side MPU 72 is at a HI level, the main side MPU 72 executes processing for transmitting a power-on request command to a value number side MPU on the basis of execution of betting operation. In a situation in which a power failure signal inputted to the main side MPU 72 is at a LOW level, the main side MPU 72 executes processing corresponding to occurrence of power failure. In a situation in which a power failure signal inputted to the main side MPU 72 is at a LOW level, processing for transmitting a power-on request command is not executed even if betting operation is performed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 264

Claims

1. Predetermined power outage response processing execution means for executing predetermined power outage response processing based on the occurrence of a power outage and the machine being in a predetermined power outage response state; Predetermined information transmission means for executing predetermined information transmission processing for transmitting predetermined information based on the occurrence of a predetermined event; comprising: In the predetermined power outage response state, the gaming machine is characterized in that the predetermined information transmission processing is not executed even if the predetermined event occurs.

2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, further comprising means for executing predetermined response processing based on receiving predetermined response information corresponding to the predetermined information transmitted by the predetermined information transmission processing.

3. Predetermined control means including the predetermined power outage response processing execution means and the predetermined information transmission means; Specific control means; comprising: The gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the predetermined information transmission processing is processing for transmitting the predetermined information to the specific control means.

4. The specific control means includes predetermined response information transmission means for executing predetermined response information transmission processing for transmitting predetermined response information corresponding to the predetermined information to the predetermined control means based on receiving the predetermined information, The gaming machine according to claim 3, wherein in the predetermined power outage response state, the predetermined response information transmission processing is not executed even if the predetermined information is received.

5. The gaming machine according to claim 3, wherein the predetermined control means includes means for executing processing for advancing the game.

6. comprising predetermined value number storage means for storing information on a predetermined number of gaming values, which is the number of gaming values owned by the player; The gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the predetermined information is information transmitted to change the number of predetermined game values stored in the predetermined value number storage means.

7. It is provided with means for executing predetermined interrupt processing including the predetermined power failure countermeasure processing based on the occurrence of a predetermined interrupt trigger, The gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the predetermined event is an event that occurs in a situation where an interrupt by the predetermined interrupt processing is permitted.

8. It is provided with predetermined information transmission avoidance means for causing an interrupt by the predetermined interrupt processing to occur without proceeding to the predetermined information transmission processing based on the occurrence of the predetermined event in the predetermined power failure countermeasure situation, The gaming machine according to claim 7, wherein the predetermined power failure countermeasure processing is executed by the predetermined power failure countermeasure processing execution means based on the occurrence of a predetermined trigger in the predetermined interrupt processing executed in the predetermined power failure countermeasure situation.

9. The predetermined information transmission avoidance means, predetermined situation determination means for executing predetermined situation determination processing for determining whether or not it is the predetermined power failure countermeasure situation, means for executing waiting information setting processing for setting predetermined interrupt waiting information that is cleared when the predetermined interrupt processing is executed based on the determination that it is the predetermined power failure countermeasure situation in the predetermined situation determination processing, means for preventing the predetermined information transmission processing from being executed in a situation where the predetermined interrupt waiting information is set, means for proceeding to the predetermined situation determination processing based on the state that the predetermined interrupt waiting information has been cleared, The gaming machine according to claim 8, characterized by comprising:

10. It is provided with specific information transmission means for executing specific information transmission processing for transmitting specific information based on the occurrence of a specific event, The gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the specific information transmission process is executed based on the occurrence of the specific event even in the predetermined power outage response situation.
