Gaming machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine highly efficiently using a capacity of a main ROM by executing prescribed processing without adding new processing when referring to information input from an input port to execute the prescribed processing.SOLUTION: A game machine includes setting value operation means, door opening / closing detection means, setting change processing means capable of changing a setting value, and input port processing means for executing processing of reading information from an input port. The input port processing means reads setting operation information and door opening / closing information, where second storage means has a prescribed area for storing the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information. The input port processing means stores the setting operation information read from a prescribed input port in the prescribed area, and the door opening / closing information read from a specific input port in the prescribed area, The setting change processing means refers to the setting operation information and the door opening / closing information stored in the predetermined area and determines the end of the processing by the setting change processing means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 433

Claims

[Claim 1] A game control means for controlling the progress of the game, A game value control means connected to the aforementioned game control means, which performs control related to the management of game value, The system includes a performance control means connected to the game control means, which controls the performance based on information transmitted from the game control means, The game value control means is connectable to an external device and outputs connection information indicating the connection status with the external device to the game control means. The game value control means outputs ON connection information to the game control means when connected to the external device, and outputs OFF connection information to the game control means when not connected to the external device. If the aforementioned connection information is in the ON state, unit play can be started. The game control means transmits the connection information input from the game value control means to the performance control means. Even when the game value control means is connected to the external device when the power is turned on, the connection information is in an off state for a predetermined period of time corresponding to the external device. The performance control means waits for a predetermined specific period of time longer than the predetermined period until the connection information is turned ON, and if the connection information remains OFF after the specified period has elapsed, it performs a connection abnormality notification process. Between the game value control means and the game control means, there is a first connection part that enables bidirectional communication of information, and a second connection part that enables parallel input of multiple pieces of information in one direction from the game value control means to the game control means. The connection information is input from the game value control means to the game control means via the second connection part. The plurality of pieces of information input from the game value control means to the game control means via the second connection portion include not only the connection information but also information regarding any abnormalities that may occur in the game value control means. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
