Gaming machine

Abstract

The processing configuration for managing information on the number of game values ​​owned by players should be optimized. [Solution] The slot machine is equipped with a main MPU and a value-counting MPU. The main MPU 72 executes a process to send a main control game machine information command in which the main control game machine information is set. The value-counting RAM 144 is provided with a main control game machine information area in which the value-counting MPU 142 stores the main control game machine information received from the main MPU 72. The value-counting MPU 142 executes a process to send a count notification when the timing for sending a count notification has arrived, provided that the main control game machine information is stored in the main control game machine information area. The system is configured so that the process of sending a count notification is not executed when the main control game machine information is not stored in the main control game machine information area.
