Gaming machine

Abstract

A single processor implements both the performance control means and the image control means, providing functionality equivalent to or better than that of a configuration with multiple processors. [Solution] The sub-control board 1200 includes at least one processor having multiple processor cores and a storage device, and each of the multiple processor cores is assigned a first process that controls the execution of the performance and a second process that executes the performance based on instructions from the first process. If a specific error is detected during development, the second process uses a shared area 1231 provided in the storage device to output an error code to a specific port on the sub-control board, thereby notifying the error from a display externally connected to the specific port. If a specific error is detected during operation when the display is not connected, the second process uses the shared area 1231 to output an error code not used for gameplay to the specific port.

Claims

[Claim 1] A reel unit comprising a plurality of reels on which reel tapes are attached to a reel frame, The reel tape has an identification mark at a predetermined position on its back surface that allows identification of which of the multiple reel tapes it is. The reel tape has at least a pattern area on which a pattern is drawn, a background area surrounding the pattern area, and an excess area. The excess region includes at least a non-printing region and a boundary region located between the non-printing region and the background region. The excess area is an area where, when the reel tape is attached to the corresponding reel frame, at least the area having the background area is superimposed. The predetermined position is located in the excess area, and when the reel tape is attached to the corresponding reel frame, the background area is located on the outer circumferential surface side of the excess area where the predetermined position is located, and overlaps with it. The ink on the inner surface side of the background region superimposed on the excess region when the reel tape is attached to the corresponding reel frame is substantially white. The reel tape has an adhesive member for attaching it to the reel frame, The width of the adhesive member in the shorter direction is narrower than the width over which the reel tape overlaps with the reel frame. The identification mark is visible from the inner circumferential surface of the reel even when the reel tape is attached to the corresponding reel frame. The predetermined position is a position where the reel tape is attached to the corresponding reel frame and at least a portion of it overlaps the reel frame. In the boundary region, for the multiple halftone dots formed by printing ink, there are multiple patterns of halftone dot pitch widths in the short direction of the reel tape without changing the size of the halftone dots, and the ink is printed such that the halftone dot pitch width in the short direction of the reel tape is larger on the non-printed area side than on the background area side. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
