In the PU unit 50, the 2 from the interrupt reset circuit 57
Control of the pachinko machine 1 is started in accordance with a control program stored in the ROM 53 according to a reset signal in units of m seconds.

Therefore, as soon as the switch 77 is turned on, a 12 V DC is supplied from the power supply board 42 to the main board 41, the sound board 43, the payout control board 45, the illumination board 46, and the relay board 47.
Is supplied to the symbol display board 44, and the CPU unit 50 of the main board 41 uses the reset delay circuit 79 to turn on the ON signal (after a delay time of 16.4 seconds has elapsed). Hight signal) is input to the reset permission signal input unit 50c of the CPU unit 50. Thereafter, in the CPU unit 50, the interrupt reset circuit 57
ROM 2 according to a reset signal of 2 ms unit from
The control of the pachinko machine 1 is started according to the control program stored in the pachinko machine.

Accordingly, the CPU unit 50 is activated after a delay time of 16.4 seconds has elapsed since the switch 77 was turned on. During the delay time of 16.4 seconds, the sound board 43, The activation of the payout control board 45, the illuminated board 46, and the symbol display board 44 is completed. The delay time of 16.4 seconds is set in advance so as to be longer than the rise time of the slowest rising substrate among the substrates. This setting is performed by setting the frequency division ratio in advance in the flip-flop circuit constituting the frequency division counter 81 so as to be longer than the rise time of the substrate with the slowest rise among the substrates. In this embodiment,
² a clock input from the clock input 81b ²⁵
It is set to divide. Therefore, when the activation of the CPU unit 50 is completed and the main board 41 has completely risen, all the other boards are in a state of rising, and a command signal is sent from the main board 41 to another board. And the command signal from the host is not received because the board at the transmission destination is not up, and no error occurs.

In particular, since the symbol display substrate 44 is a slowly rising substrate requiring about 12 seconds to rise,
By setting a delay time of 16.4 seconds by the reset delay circuit 79, when the activation of the CPU unit 50 is completed and the main board 41 is completely raised, the symbol display board 44 is moved from the main board 41 to the symbol display board 44. Does not cause an error because the command signal is not accepted.

In this embodiment, since the 12V power supply monitoring circuit 78a and the 5V power supply monitoring circuit 78b are used, only when a normal voltage is applied to each substrate,
After a predetermined delay time, the reset permission signal is input from the reset delay circuit 79 to the reset permission signal input unit 50c of the CPU unit 50 as ON (High). Is not supplied, and another board cannot be started up properly, it is possible to prevent the main board 41 from rising up first after a predetermined delay time has elapsed.

Here, the activation time of the symbol display substrate 44 will be described with reference to the activation sequence diagram of the symbol display substrate 44 shown in FIG. The symbol display substrate 44 is the substrate that requires the longest time to rise among the substrates connected to the main substrate 41. As shown in FIG. 6, when the switch 77 is turned on at the timing of T1 and the power is turned on, the sub CPU (not shown) provided on the symbol display board 44 starts the OS. When the OS is started, the OS is loaded from a ROM (not shown) provided on the symbol display board 44 to a RAM (not shown) provided on the symbol display board 44, and various initializations and self-tests are performed. This OS
Will take about 4 seconds to load. Therefore, T1
It takes about 4 seconds from to T2.

Next, the application is started at the timing of T2. In launching this application,
Sub CPU (not shown) provided on symbol display board 44
However, the application program and its data are loaded from a ROM (not shown) provided on the symbol display board 44 to a RAM (not shown) provided on the symbol display board 44, and various initializations are performed. This will take about 8 seconds. Therefore, it takes about 8 seconds from T2 to T3, and about 12 seconds from T1 when the power is turned on to T3 when the start of the application is completed. About 1
For 2 seconds, a command is issued from the main board 41 to the symbol display board 44.
The symbol display board 44 ignores the command even if the command is transmitted to the device.

On the other hand, according to the structure of the first embodiment of the present invention, since it takes 16.4 seconds from the power-on to the start of the main board 41, when the main board 41 starts up, it takes up to the start. The symbol display substrate 44, which takes about 12 seconds, completely stands up. Therefore, even if a command is transmitted from the main board 41 to the symbol display board 44, the command is not ignored by the symbol display board 44, and the pachinko machine 1 does not generate an error. In the above example, the symbol display substrate 44 has been described as requiring the longest time to rise. However, even if the substrate requiring the longest time to rise is any of the other substrates, the rising of the main substrate 41 is performed. If the delay is longer than the time required for the rise of the substrate, the slow-rise substrate ignores the command from the main substrate 41 and no error occurs.

[Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The mechanical configuration and the electrical configuration of the second embodiment are the same as those of the above-described first embodiment, except that in the first embodiment, the rising delay means is replaced by the main substrate 41.
In the second embodiment, the sub CPUs (not shown) of the main board 41, the sound board 43, the symbol display board 44, the payout control board 45, and the illumination board 46 are the same as those of the first embodiment. The above-mentioned rise delay means is provided so that each substrate is activated first in the order of the time required for the rise. Since the relay board 47 merely relays a line and does not include a sub CPU or the like,
There is no problem with rising.

More specifically, the power supply monitoring circuit 78 and the reset delay circuit 79 are provided on the main board 41 as in the first embodiment, and the sound board 43, the symbol display board 44, and the payout control board 45 are provided. A power supply monitoring circuit 78 and a reset delay circuit 79 are also provided on each of the illuminated boards 46 so that the activation of the sub CPU (not shown) of each board is delayed by a predetermined time. At this time, as the activation delay time, short delay times are set in descending order of the time required for rising.

For example, the startup time of the symbol display board 44 is the longest, about 12 seconds, the startup time of the sound board 43 is about 10 seconds, the startup time of the illumination board 46 is about 8 seconds, and the startup time of the payout control board 45 is If the activation time of the main board 41 is about 4 seconds, the delay time of the activation of the symbol display board 44 is 0 second, the delay time of the activation of the sound board 43 is 2 seconds, and the activation time of the illumination board 46 is about 2 seconds. The delay time is 4 seconds, and the delay time of the activation of the payout control board 45 is 6 seconds.
If the delay time of the start of the main board 41 is set to 12 seconds, the symbol display board 4 is provided about 12 seconds after the power is turned on.
4, sound board 43, illumination board 46, payout control board 45,
At the same time, the main substrate 41 rises four seconds later. Therefore, when the main board 41 is standing up, the symbol display board 44, the sound board 43, the illuminated board 46, and the payout control board 45 are up, and each of these boards reliably receives a command from the main board 41. Can be accepted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a substrate having a slow rise from ignoring a command from the main substrate 41 and generating an error.

In the second embodiment, the main substrate 4
1, sound board 43, symbol display board 44, payout control board 4
5. The power supply monitoring circuit 78 and the reset delay circuit 79 are provided on each of the illuminated boards 46. Instead, the power supply start delay means for supplying power to the respective boards first in descending order of the time required for rising is provided. It may be provided.

In this case, for example, a well-known timer IC
And a relay, the power may be supplied first from the substrate that rises slowly. For example, the startup time of the symbol display board 44 is the longest, about 12 seconds, the startup time of the sound board 43 is about 10 seconds, the startup time of the illumination board 46 is about 8 seconds, and the startup time of the payout control board 45 is about 6 seconds. If the activation time of the main board 41 is about 4 seconds, the symbol O
N immediately (delay time 0 seconds) to supply power,
3, the power is supplied two seconds after the power is turned on, the electric decoration board 46 is supplied with the power four seconds after the power is turned on, and the dispensing control board 45 is supplied with the power six seconds after the power is turned on. ,
The peripheral circuit of the timer IC may be configured to supply power to the main board 41 12 seconds after the power is turned on.

In this case, about 12 seconds after the power is turned on, the symbol display board 44, the sound board 43, the illumination board 46,
The payout control board 45 is standing up at the same time.
Seconds later, the main substrate 41 rises. Therefore,
When the main board 41 is standing up, the symbol display board 44, the sound board 43, the illumination board 46, and the payout control board 4
5 are standing up, and each of these substrates is a main substrate 41
Command can be reliably received. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a substrate having a slow rise from ignoring a command from the main substrate 41 and generating an error.

In the second embodiment, except for the main board 41, the rise is completed at the same time. However, the rise is completed sequentially from the board with the slowest rise. You may make it stand up. In addition, it goes without saying that the delay of power supply to each board is not limited to the timer IC and the relay, and various delay circuits can be used. In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to pachinko machines, but can be used for various game machines such as pachi-con machines and pachi-slot machines.
