Abstract
To perform an efficient functional restriction according to an error pattern that has occurred, if an error occurs in a game machine.SOLUTION: If an error occurs in a game machine (S1), a card returning and lending are controlled according to an error pattern and the number of holding balls (S2). For example, when a game machine has an error in which the card returning is acceptable but the lending is not acceptable, if the number of holding balls is 20 balls which is less than a minimum returning number of balls, a control is performed in which a card returning is also not acceptable. This is because, if the card returning is performed, the number of holding balls that is less than the minimum returning number of balls is automatically lent, which contravenes the non-acceptable lending categorized by the error pattern.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
