加えて、この遊技再開報知を行うためにスピーカ、特図の可変表示装置４、サイドランプ１２，１２等に対し電源供給するために、パチンコ遊技機１００には、コンデンサ９３とは別途の報知用バックアップ電源手段（図示省略）が備えられている。[0057]
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present invention, when the power supply cutoff is detected by the power failure detection circuit, "notification that the game is restarted after the power failure is restored", that is, the game restart notification is performed. It has become.
In this game restart notification, the notification sound data (a type of sound data) is transmitted from the CPU 21a of the game control device 20 to the sound control device 60, and the notification sound (message, etc.) is transmitted from the sound emitting unit 108 of the speaker. Is output, or when the notification display data (a type of display data) is transmitted from the CPU 21a to the display control device 40, the notification display (message, etc.) is displayed on the variable display unit 4a of the special figure. Is displayed, or when the decoration data is transmitted from the CPU 21a to the decoration control device 50, the lamps such as the side lamps 12 and 12 and the LED are turned on and blinked to notify the notification. It may be the one that does.
Further, the game restart notification may be performed by an external device other than the pachinko game machine 100 , such as a speaker or a display device in the hall, or each of the above notifications may be performed in parallel.
In addition, in order to supply power to the speaker, the variable display device 4 of the special figure, the side lamps 12, 12, etc. in order to perform the game restart notification, the pachinko game machine 100 is used for notification separately from the capacitor 93. A backup power supply means (not shown) is provided.

【発明の効果】
請求項１記載の発明によれば、電源投入検出手段によって外部の電源手段からの電源投入が検出された際に、遊技状態情報が遊技状態情報記憶手段に記憶保持されていた場合に、発射操作のための操作ハンドルを操作した結果生ずる所定入力信号を検出することに基づいて、当該遊技状態情報に応じた遊技状態から遊技を再開させるようにしたので、停電復旧後に発射操作のための操作ハンドルを操作した結果生ずる所定入力信号を検出してはじめて、所定の遊技を開始するようにできる。よって、いつになるかわからない停電復旧のために、遊技者を遊技機の前でずっと待たせる必要がない。また、例えば、停電復旧後に、発射操作のための操作ハンドルを操作した結果生ずる所定入力信号の検出を待たずして遊技が再開されるような場合のように、遊技者が遊技再開に対する準備がないために遊技によって得られるべき利益を喪失するといった可能性を低減できる。ここでいう、遊技によって得られるべき利益は、遊技価値のほかに、遊技自体（興趣を感じる機会）を含むこととする。[0084]
【Effect of the invention】
According to the invention of claim 1, when the power-on detection means detects the power-on from the external power-on means, the game state information is stored and held in the game state information storage means, and the firing operation is performed. based on detecting a predetermined input signal produced result of operating the operating handle for, since so as to resume the game from the gaming state corresponding to those the recreation status information, operation for fire operation after a power outage Only when a predetermined input signal generated as a result of operating the handle is detected can a predetermined game be started. Therefore, it is not necessary to keep the player waiting in front of the game machine to recover from a power failure that may occur at any time. Further, for example, after the power failure is restored, the player is prepared to restart the game, for example, when the game is restarted without waiting for the detection of the predetermined input signal generated as a result of operating the operation handle for the firing operation. It is possible to reduce the possibility of losing the profit that should be obtained by the game because there is no such thing. The profit to be obtained by the game here includes the game itself (an opportunity to feel the interest) in addition to the game value.

【００８６】
請求項３記載の発明によれば、停電監視手段により電源供給遮断が検出された際に前記遊技状態情報記憶手段に記憶されている遊技状態情報のチェックサムを演算し、該チェックサムを遊技状態情報記憶手段に記憶させるようにし、かつ、電源投入検出手段によって電源投入が検出された際に前記遊技状態情報記憶手段に記憶保持されている遊技状態情報のチェックサムを新たに演算し、この新たに演算したチェックサムと既にバックアップされていたチェックサムとを照合して当該遊技状態情報の正当性を判定するので、遊技状態情報記憶手段における遊技状態情報の有無と、この遊技状態情報の正当性とを同時に判定でき、確実な停電復旧処理が可能となる。0083.
According to the invention of claim 3, when the power supply interruption is detected by the power failure monitoring means, the checksum of the game state information stored in the game state information storage means is calculated, and the checksum is used as the game state. The checksum of the game state information stored in the game state information storage means is newly calculated when the power-on is detected by the power-on detection means and is stored in the information storage means. Since the validity of the game state information is determined by collating the checksum calculated in 1 with the checksum that has already been backed up , the presence or absence of the game state information in the game state information storage means and the validity of this game state information. Can be determined at the same time, and reliable power failure recovery processing becomes possible.
