Abstract

To allow a player to easily recognize counting of the number of tokens when a counting button is depressed in a game machine.SOLUTION: In a game machine, performance control means outputs sound corresponding to information from sound output means on the basis of information regarding counting operation to counting operation means, information regarding counting operation to the counting operation means includes first information regarding an operation state of the counting operation means and second information regarding a counting state of a game value, and the performance control means outputs sound corresponding to operation continuation time of the counting operation means by controlling the sound output means on the basis of the first and second received information, can count the game value in one unit and outputs a predetermined sound when operation continuation time is less than predetermined time, and can count a game value in two or larger predetermined number units and outputs a specific sound different from the predetermined sound when operation continuation time is equal to or more than predetermined time.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 423

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, A counting operation means connected to the game value control means, which performs a counting operation that triggers the execution of the transfer control of the game value stored in the game machine to an external device by the game value control means, The system comprises a performance control means that is communicably connected to the aforementioned game control means and performs performance control based on first information transmitted from the aforementioned game control means, The game control means is capable of communicating the second information with the game value control means. When the game value control means receives specific information as second information from the game control means, it is capable of transmitting response information corresponding to the specific information to the game control means. The game value control means is capable of outputting a plurality of third pieces of information in parallel to the game control means, The plurality of third pieces of information include reception error information which is controlled to a first state when the second piece of information received by the game value control means is not correct, and controlled to a second state when the received second piece of information is correct. If the specified information received from the game control means is not correct, the game value control means controls the received abnormal information to the first state, and outputs the received abnormal information controlled to the first state to the game control means. The game control means is capable of transmitting the first information, which includes the plurality of third pieces of information, to the performance control means. When the performance control means receives the first information, including the reception abnormality information controlled to the first state, from the game control means, it notifies the game value control means of the reception abnormality of the second information. The plurality of third pieces of information include external connection information which is controlled to the first state when the connection between the game value control means and an external device connected to the game value control means and capable of sending and receiving information relating to the game value is normal, and controlled to the second state when the connection between the game value control means and the external device is not normal, and external communication abnormality information which is controlled to the first state when the communication state between the game value control means and the external device is not normal, and controlled to the second state when the communication state between the game value control means and the external device is normal. The aforementioned game value control means is If the connection between the game value control means and the external device is not normal, the external connection information is controlled to the second state, and the external connection information controlled to the second state is output to the game control means. If the communication status between the game value control means and the external device is not normal, the external communication abnormality information is controlled to the first state, and the external communication abnormality information controlled to the first state is output to the game control means. When the performance control means receives the first information, which includes the external connection information controlled to the second state and / or the external communication abnormality information controlled to the first state, from the game control means, it can notify the game value control means of an abnormality between the game value control means and the external device. The aforementioned performance control means includes an abnormality notification suppression means capable of suppressing the notification of the abnormality between the game value control means and the external device. The types of counting operations include a first counting operation and a second counting operation, depending on the duration of the counting operation performed by the counting operation means. The duration of the first counting operation is shorter than the duration of the second counting operation. The number of game values ​​transferred to the external device when the first counting operation is performed on the counting operation means is less than the number transferred when the second counting operation is performed on the counting operation means. If it is impossible to perform the processing corresponding to the specific information received by the game value control means, no notification will be given in that case, and the game will not be stopped. The aforementioned plurality of third pieces of information include operation information regarding whether or not the counting operation was performed, and control information regarding the transfer state of the game value. The control of the state of the control information by the game value control means can be performed at predetermined intervals. A gaming machine characterized by the following features.
