Game machine

Abstract

To suppress the occurrence of errors that do not need to be detected (reported) when the power is turned on.SOLUTION: A game machine of the present invention comprises game control means, game value control means, and performance control means. The game control means is capable of serially communicating second information with the game value control means. Upon startup of the game machine, the game control means transmits predetermined multiple pieces of second information to the game value control means and then waits until startup of the game value control means is completed. The game value control means is capable of outputting multiple pieces of third information to the game control means in parallel. The multiple pieces of third information include initial setting information that is controlled to a first state when an initial setting operation performed upon startup is being executed and to a second state upon completion of the initial setting operation. The game value control means controls the initial setting information to the first state upon startup of the game machine, and after receiving multiple pieces of first information, controls the initial setting information to the second state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 472

Claims

1. a game control means for controlling the progress of a game; a game value control means connected to the game control means and performing control relating to management of game values; a performance control means connected to the game control means so as to be capable of serial communication and controlling the performance based on the first information transmitted from the game control means; The game control means The game value control means and the second information can be serially communicated with each other, When the gaming machine is started, a predetermined plurality of pieces of second information are transmitted to the gaming value control means, and then the gaming machine waits until the start of the gaming value control means is completed. A gaming machine characterized by:

2. the game value control means is capable of outputting a plurality of pieces of third information in parallel to the game control means; the plurality of third information includes initial setting information that is controlled to a first state when an initial setting operation that is performed at the time of startup of the gaming machine is being executed, and is controlled to a second state when the initial setting operation is completed; The gaming value control means controls the initial setting information to the first state when the gaming machine is started, outputs the initial setting information of the first state to the gaming control means, and then, after receiving the plurality of second information transmitted from the gaming control means, controls the initial setting information to the second state, and outputs the initial setting information of the second state to the gaming control means.

2. The gaming machine according to claim 1 .

3. The game value control means, upon starting up the gaming machine, receives the plurality of second information transmitted from the game control means, and then determines whether or not a predetermined condition for completing the initial setting of the game value control means is satisfied, and if the predetermined condition is satisfied, controls the initial setting information to the second state.

3. The gaming machine according to claim 2.
