[Means for solving problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the game machine according to the present invention is a game control device that transmits prize ball number information to the discharge control device on condition that a game ball has won a prize in a winning opening provided in the game area of the game board. A volatile storage means provided in the discharge control device for storing the prize ball number information, and a drive source energized by the discharge control device based on the prize ball number information of the volatile storage means. A discharge device that discharges a predetermined number of game balls based on a detection signal from the discharge sensor , a power supply device that generates a predetermined power supply voltage from a rated voltage supplied from the outside of the game machine, and supplies the power supply device to each of the above control devices. In a gaming machine provided separately from the volatile storage means and provided with a storage means capable of storing specific information even during a power failure, the power supply device is a power failure detection means capable of detecting a cutoff of the rated voltage. If, comprising at least a transmitting unit capable of transmitting the power failure detection signal generated in the emission control device by該停photoelectric detection means, said emission control device, upon receipt of the power failure detection signal generated by said power failure detecting means In addition, the drive source of the discharge device is stopped, and when a predetermined time elapses from the stop of the drive source, the discharge sensor is disabled from the enabled state. A specific storage information transfer means for transferring the undischarged prize ball number information reflecting the game ball detection result of the discharge sensor until the predetermined time elapses from the volatile storage means to the storage means is provided. It is a thing.

これによれば、停電発生時に、まず排出装置の駆動源が停止され、所定時間が経過するまでの間は遊技媒体の検出手段が有効とされるので、例えば検出手段が先に無効(即ち電源断状態)となって排出装置の駆動源が停止するまでに排出された遊技媒体数が検出不能となる事態を回避することができる。しかも、特定記憶情報転写手段は、排出装置の駆動源の停止処理後、所定時間が経過するまでの検出手段の遊技媒体検出結果を反映した遊技価値に関する情報を、保護すべき特定記憶情報として上記記憶手段に転写するようになっているので、排出制御装置は停電復旧後に、停電発生前の正確な情報(例えば、停電直前の賞球数情報等)に基づいて賞球等の排出を再開することができるので、公正を保つことができ、遊技機の信頼性を高めることができる。

According to this, when a power failure occurs, the drive source of the discharge device is first stopped, and the detection means of the game medium is valid until a predetermined time elapses. Therefore, for example, the detection means is invalid first (that is, the power supply). It is possible to avoid a situation in which the number of game media discharged before the drive source of the discharge device is stopped is undetectable. Moreover, the specific storage information transfer means describes the information on the game value reflecting the game medium detection result of the detection means until a predetermined time elapses after the stop processing of the drive source of the discharge device as the specific storage information to be protected. Since it is transferred to the storage means, the discharge control device restarts the discharge of the prize balls, etc. after the power failure is restored, based on the accurate information before the power failure (for example, the information on the number of prize balls immediately before the power failure). Because it can be done, fairness can be maintained and the reliability of the game machine can be improved.

【0018】
また、上記停電検出信号の受信に基づいて、上記揮発性記憶手段に記憶された記憶情報を、保護すべき特定の記憶情報と、保護する必要のない作業データとに分別する記憶情報分別手段を備え、上記特定記憶情報転写手段は、上記記憶情報分別手段によって分別された上記賞球数情報を上記記憶手段に転写するようにしてもよい。
0018
Further , based on the reception of the power failure detection signal, a storage information sorting means for separating the stored information stored in the volatile storage means into specific storage information to be protected and work data that does not need to be protected is provided. In addition, the specific storage information transfer means may transfer the prize ball number information sorted by the storage information sorting means to the storage means .

【0019】
これによれば、停電の発生が上記停電検出手段によって検出された場合に、上記各制御装置は、上記電源装置からの電源電圧の供給が途絶える前に、上記停電検出手段によって生成される停電検出信号に基づいて、記憶情報分別手段が、各揮発性記憶手段に記憶された記憶情報を、保護すべき特定の記憶情報と、保護する必要のない作業データとに分別し、特定記憶情報転写手段が停電時に上記記憶情報分別手段によって分別された上記賞球数情報を、その情報を保護するための記憶手段に転送することができる。したがって、停電が発生しても電源電圧が完全に途絶える前に、若干のタイムラグ(電源装置の構成によるが、例えば15秒程度)があるので、その間に保護すべき特定の記憶情報(例えば、賞球数情報等)を確実にバックアップすることができる。よって、停電復旧後に、停電発生前の賞球数情報等に基づいて遊技を再開することができるので、停電に伴い遊技者に不測の不利益を及ぼすことを未然に防止することができ、遊技店と遊技者とのトラブル発生を回避することができる。
0019
According to this, when the occurrence of a power failure is detected by the power failure detection means, each of the control devices detects the power failure generated by the power failure detection means before the supply of the power supply voltage from the power supply is cut off. Based on the signal, the storage information sorting means separates the storage information stored in each volatile storage means into specific storage information to be protected and work data that does not need to be protected, and the specific storage information transcription means. The prize ball number information sorted by the stored information sorting means in the event of a power failure can be transferred to a storage means for protecting the information. Therefore, even if a power failure occurs, there is a slight time lag (for example, about 15 seconds depending on the configuration of the power supply device) before the power supply voltage is completely cut off. (Ball count information, etc.) can be reliably backed up. Therefore, after the power failure is restored, the game can be restarted based on the information on the number of prize balls before the power failure occurs, so that it is possible to prevent unexpected disadvantages to the player due to the power failure, and the game can be played. It is possible to avoid troubles between the store and the player.

ステップS5では、排出制御装置Ba2内の通常のRAM203に記憶された記憶情報を、停電時に保護すべき特定の記憶情報(例えば、賞球数情報等)と、保護する必要のない記憶情報(例えば、作業領域のデータ等)とに分別してからステップSに進み、ステップS5で分別した保護すべき特定の記憶情報を、排出制御装置Ba3の外部のバックアップ用RAM400に転写して処理を終了する。
[0077]
In step S5, the stored information stored in the normal RAM 203 in the discharge control device Ba2 is stored as specific stored information to be protected in the event of a power failure (for example, prize ball number information) and stored information that does not need to be protected (for example, prize ball number information). proceeds from fractionated into the data, etc.) in the work area in step S 6, the specific stored information to be protected and fractionated in step S5, and ends the transfer and the processing to the outside of the backup RAM400 emission control device Ba3 ..

Since the detection means of the game medium is valid until the drive source of the device is stopped and a predetermined time elapses, for example, the detection means is disabled first (that is, the power is turned off) and the drive source of the discharge device is turned off. There is an effect that it is possible to avoid a situation in which the number of game media discharged by the time the game is stopped becomes undetectable.
Further, the specific storage information transfer means describes the information on the game value reflecting the game medium detection result of the detection means until a predetermined time elapses after the stop processing of the drive source of the discharge device as the specific storage information to be protected. Since it is transferred to the storage means, the discharge control device restarts the discharge of the prize balls, etc. after the power failure is restored, based on the accurate information before the power failure (for example, the information on the number of prize balls immediately before the power failure). Therefore, it is possible to maintain fairness and surely avoid the occurrence of troubles between the game store and the player, and it is possible to improve the reliability of the game machine.
