Gaming machine

Abstract

To enable identification over a wide range [Solution] The drive means includes an input terminal for receiving drive information from the control means and a plurality of output terminals for outputting drive signals to drive the drive unit based on the drive information. The control means includes a plurality of input terminals for receiving signals and an output terminal for outputting drive signals. A specific output terminal among the plurality of output terminals of the drive means, determined according to the type of gaming machine, is connected to a specific input terminal among the input terminals of the control means. The control means transmits authentication drive information to activate the specific output terminal in response to startup, determines whether the specific input terminal is in an active state, and performs different control according to the result of the determination.
