Gaming machine

Abstract

The objective is to achieve efficient control processing. [Solution] In a gaming machine, the CPU can perform the following: a first process which determines whether the value of a 2-byte first RAM, which is decremented by 1 each time an interrupt is made, is 0; a second process which, after the first process, determines whether the value of the second RAM is a value indicating a win, if the result of the determination in the first process is that the value of the first RAM is 0; and a third process which, after the second process, determines whether the result of the determination in the second process is that the value of the second RAM is a value indicating a win, sets the time for the winning game. The first, second, and third processes are performed by the same interrupt.

Claims

[Claim 1] A game control means that executes a control program and performs control related to the game state, comprising a game control means that transmits control commands, A performance control means that controls the display means based on the aforementioned control command, A gaming machine comprising an LED display that is controlled by the game control means and notifies the game state, the LED display having a plurality of LEDs, The aforementioned game control means is A CPU having at least multiple general-purpose registers and a flag register consisting of multiple flags, A ROM containing a control program used in the CPU, A RAM that holds variables updated by the control program, Input ports and output ports, It has at least, The CPU performs a first process to determine whether the value of a 2-byte first RAM, which is decremented by 1 each time an interrupt occurs, is 0. After the first process, if the result of the determination in the first process is that the value of the first RAM is 0, a second process is performed to determine whether the value of the second RAM is a value that represents a win, After the second process, if the result of the determination in the second process is that the value of the second RAM represents a win, a third process can be executed to set the time for the winning game. The first process, the second process, and the third process are performed by the same interrupt. The CPU, when the game state is the first state, performs a fourth process that turns ON a specific set of bits in the 1-byte third RAM, After the fourth process, the CPU is capable of performing a fifth process, which involves outputting the value of the third RAM to the first output port. The fourth process and the fifth process are performed by the same interrupt. The aforementioned game control means is When one of the multiple LEDs in the LED display is lit, the other LEDs will also be lit. When one of the aforementioned LEDs is turned off, the other aforementioned LED is also always turned off. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
