Game machine

Abstract

To allow a player to easily recognize counting of the number of tokens when a counting button is depressed in a game machine.SOLUTION: In a game machine, performance control means outputs sound corresponding to information from sound output means on the basis of information regarding counting operation to counting operation means, information regarding counting operation to the counting operation means includes first information regarding an operation state of the counting operation means and second information regarding a counting state of a game value, and the performance control means outputs sound corresponding to operation continuation time of the counting operation means by controlling the sound output means on the basis of the first and second received information, can count the game value in one unit and outputs a predetermined sound when operation continuation time is less than predetermined time, and can count a game value in two or larger predetermined number units and outputs a specific sound different from the predetermined sound when operation continuation time is equal to or more than predetermined time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 423

Claims

[Claim 1] A game control means for controlling the progress of the game, A game value control means connected to the aforementioned game control means, which performs control related to the management of game value, The system comprises a performance control means that is communicably connected to the aforementioned game control means and performs performance control based on first information transmitted from the aforementioned game control means, The aforementioned game control means is The aforementioned game value control means can communicate with a plurality of second pieces of information, When the gaming machine is started, a predetermined number of the aforementioned second pieces of information are transmitted to the gaming value control means, and then the system waits until the startup of the gaming value control means is complete. The game value control means is capable of outputting a plurality of third pieces of information in parallel to the game control means, The aforementioned plurality of third information includes initial setting information that is controlled to a first state when the initial setting operation performed when the gaming machine is started is in progress, and controlled to a second state when the initial setting operation is completed. The game value control means controls the initial setting information to the first state when the game machine is started, outputs the initial setting information in the first state to the game control means, then receives a plurality of second pieces of information transmitted from the game control means, controls the initial setting information to the second state, and outputs the initial setting information in the second state to the game control means. The game value control means, upon startup of the game machine, receives the plurality of second pieces of information transmitted from the game control means, then determines whether the predetermined conditions for the completion of the initial setup of the game value control means have been met, and if the predetermined conditions have been met, controls the initial setup information to the second state. The plurality of second pieces of information transmitted from the game control means to the game value control means when the game machine is started up include the product code and manufacturer code of the game control means. The game value control means has a manufacturer code for the game control means, The game value control means determines that the predetermined conditions for the completion of the initial setup of the game value control means have been met when the game machine is started up, if it determines that all of the following conditions have been met: that all of the plurality of second pieces of information have been received, that the product code of the game control means has been received, and that the received manufacturer code of the game control means matches the manufacturer code of the game control means possessed by the game value control means. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
