Abstract

To provide a gaming machine that can further enhance the enjoyment of the game. [Solution] A gaming machine that is communicatively connected to a card unit includes: connection detection means capable of detecting whether or not it is connected to a card unit; communication abnormality detection means capable of detecting whether or not a communication abnormality with the card unit has occurred; notification means that provides notification in a predetermined notification manner; game value storage means that stores the number of game values ​​used for playing the game; game execution means that can execute the game using the number of game values; game value counting means that updates the number of game values; game information initialization means that initializes game information related to the game while retaining the number of game values ​​when the player operates the RAM clear switch; and game value initialization means that retains game information while initializing the number of game values ​​when the player operates the ball clear switch.

Claims

[Claim 1] In a gaming machine that is connected to a gaming device in a communication manner, A connection detection means capable of detecting whether or not it is connected to a gaming device, A communication anomaly detection means capable of detecting whether or not a communication anomaly has occurred with the gaming device, A notification means that provides notification in a predetermined notification manner, A game value storage means for storing the number of game values ​​used in the game, A game execution means capable of executing a game using the number of game values ​​stored in the game value storage means, A game value counting means that, upon execution of a game by the game execution means, counts the number of game values ​​used in the game and updates the number of game values ​​stored in the game value storage means, When a player performs a first operation, the game information relating to the game executed by the game execution means is initialized, while the game information initialization means is capable of holding the number of game values ​​stored in the game value storage means. When a second operation different from the first operation is performed by the player, the game information is retained, and the game value initialization means is capable of initializing the game value count. A threshold determination means for determining whether the number of game values ​​stored in the game value storage means is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, Equipped with, The game value counting means can update the number of game values ​​stored in the game value storage means by adding a predetermined number of loans when a loan operation is performed by a player. The aforementioned notification means is, If the predetermined number of loans cannot be added to the game value, it is possible to provide notification in the manner of loan restrictions. When the connection detection means detects that the device is not connected to the gaming device, it is possible to provide notification in a specific abnormality notification manner. When the communication anomaly detection means detects that a communication anomaly has occurred with the gaming device, it is possible to provide notification using an anomaly notification method different from the specific anomaly notification method. When power is supplied, if the connection detection means detects that the device is not connected to the gaming device, it is possible to provide notification according to a first specific abnormality notification mode. After it has been confirmed that the gaming device is connected when power is supplied, if the connection detection means detects that the gaming device is not connected, it is possible to provide notification using a second specific specific abnormality notification mode, which is different from the first specific abnormality notification mode. When the threshold determination means determines that the number of game values ​​is equal to or greater than the threshold, it is possible to provide notification using the count notification method. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
