A game control microcomputer for controlling the progress of the game, having a game control change data storage means for storing change data generated when the control is performed;
A payout control microcomputer for controlling payout of game media, comprising payout control variable data storage means for storing fluctuation data generated when performing control;
Storage content holding means capable of holding the storage contents of the game control variation data storage means and the payout control variation data storage means for a predetermined period even when power supply to the gaming machine is stopped;
Power monitoring means for monitoring the state of a predetermined power source used in the gaming machine and outputting a detection signal when the occurrence of power interruption is detected;
A game control output port for the game control microcomputer to output a signal ;
A payout control output port for the payout control microcomputer to output a signal;
A game control board on which the game control microcomputer is mounted and a power supply board for creating a voltage used in the payout control board on which the payout control microcomputer is mounted ,
The game control microcomputer is in a standby state after executing a game control power supply stop process, which is a process for storing the control state in the game control variation data storage means in response to the input of the detection signal. proceeds to, in the game control power supply stop process performs output port clearing process for clearing the signal outputted to the game control output port,
The payout control microcomputer is in a standby state after executing a payout control power supply stop process, which is a process for storing the control state in the payout control variation data storage means in response to the input of the detection signal. In the process for stopping power supply for payout control, an output port clear process for clearing the signal output to the output port for payout control is performed.
A return signal output means for outputting a return signal for returning from the standby state when power supply is not stopped after a predetermined period of time after the power monitoring means outputs the detection signal ;
The power supply monitoring means is provided on the power supply board, and the detection signal is branched and output from the single power supply monitoring means to each of the game control microcomputer and the payout control microcomputer. To play.

Dispensing control microcomputer controls the dispensing means pays out the game media,
The payout control microcomputer, the output port clearing, the gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the Ru stopping the payout when said dispensing means is paid out gaming media.

Game control microcomputer controls the controllable variable winning ball device to one of the open and closed states,
The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the game control microcomputer controls the variable winning ball apparatus to the closed state by an output port clear process when the variable winning ball apparatus is in the open state .
