【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明では、遊技を統括的に制御する主制御装置と、前記主制御装置からの指令信号に基づいて各種装置の動作をそれぞれ制御する複数の従属制御装置と、前記主制御装置から前記複数の従属制御装置へ指令信号を送信するために接続される複数の接続手段と、を備えた遊技機において、前記各接続手段は、ケーブルと、該ケーブル端部のコネクタと、から構成するとともに、該コネクタの形状を共通化して、どの接続手段をどの従属制御装置に接続するかを区別することなく接続するものとし、前記主制御装置は、前記各従属制御装置への通信形態を同一にするとともに、前記各従属制御装置へ共通の指令信号を送信し、前記各従属制御装置は、前記主制御装置から受信した指令信号の内容を判定し、この判定に応じて、その制御内容を変更するか否かを選択する。0006
[Means for solving problems]
In the present invention, a main control unit for generally controlling the game, a plurality of slave control device that controls respective operations of various devices in accordance with a command signal from the main control device, the plurality of the said main control device In a gaming machine including a plurality of connecting means connected to transmit a command signal to a subordinate control device, each connecting means comprises a cable and a connector at the end of the cable, and the said connecting means. The shape of the connector shall be standardized so that which connection means is connected to which subordinate control device without distinction, and the main control device has the same communication mode to each subordinate control device. sends said common command signal to the slave controller, each slave controller determines the contents of the command signal received from the main control unit, depending on the determination, to change the control contents of its Select whether or not.

【発明の作用および効果】
本発明では、主制御装置（遊技制御装置）から複数の従属制御装置（例えば、表示制御装置、音制御装置、装飾制御装置）への指令信号の通信形態（信号線のビット数）を同一とし、さらに同一内容の（共通の）指令信号を送信するようにしたので、主制御装置と複数の従属制御装置との接続は、接続手段（例えばケーブル、コネクタ）の形態を同一とでき、どの接続手段をどの従属制御装置に接続するかを区別する必要がない。したがって、主制御装置と従属制御装置との接続作業を迅速かつ容易に行いうるとともに、接続手段の部品共通化によるコスト削減を図り得る。また、主制御装置から複数の従属制御装置への指令信号送信は、どの従属制御装置への送信であるかを判断せずに行えるので、主制御装置における処理が単純化され、処理負担が軽減する。0011
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
In the present invention, the communication mode (number of bits of the signal line) of the command signal from the main control device (game control device) to the plurality of subordinate control devices (for example, display control device, sound control device, decoration control device) is the same. In addition, since the same (common) command signal is transmitted , the connection between the main control unit and the plurality of subordinate control units can be made in the same form of the connection means (for example, cable, connector), and which connection can be used. It is not necessary to distinguish which subordinate controller the means is connected to. Therefore, the connection work between the main control device and the subordinate control device can be performed quickly and easily, and the cost can be reduced by standardizing the components of the connection means. Further, since the command signal can be transmitted from the main control device to a plurality of subordinate control devices without determining which subordinate control device the command signal is transmitted to, the processing in the main control device is simplified and the processing load is reduced. To do.

Claims

A main control unit that controls the game in an integrated manner;
A plurality of slave control device that controls respective operations of various devices in accordance with a command signal from the main controller,
A plurality of connection means connected for transmitting command signals from the main controller to the plurality of slave controllers;
In a gaming machine provided with
Each of the connection means is composed of a cable and a connector at the cable end, the shape of the connector is made common, and connection is made without distinction as to which connection means is connected to which subordinate control device Shall
The main control device makes the form of communication to each of the dependent control devices identical, and transmits a common command signal to each of the dependent control devices,
