Claims

A gaming machine in which a player can play a predetermined game,
An electrical component control microcomputer for controlling electrical components provided in the gaming machine by executing a control program;
Variation data storage means for storing variation data generated when the electric component control microcomputer performs control ;
Storage content holding means capable of holding the storage content of the variation data storage means for a predetermined period even when power supply to the gaming machine is stopped ,
The electric component control microcomputer is:
When the power supply to the gaming machine is started, set the timer interrupt to occur periodically,
Based on the occurrence of a periodic timer interrupt, execute an interrupt process to control the electrical components provided in the gaming machine,
When the power supply is stopped, the fluctuation data storage means stores interrupt state information indicating which state is an interrupt prohibited state for prohibiting execution of the interrupt processing or an interrupt permitted state for permitting execution. The check data is generated based on the data stored in the variable data storage means, the data saving process for saving the data necessary for restoring the control state in the variable data storage means, and the stored contents of the variable data storage means. data run the power supply stop process including a process to be saved in the variation data storage means,
The data saved in the variation data storage means in the data saving process includes at least program address data related to the address of the control program being executed,
The electrical component control microcomputer determines whether or not the stored content stored in the variation data storage means is valid by the check data stored in the variation data storage means when power supply is started. determined, on condition that the storage contents are stored in the variation data storage section it is determined to be valid, state restoration to restore the control state based on the stored content which has been stored in the variation data storage means processing performs, have rows resume process execution of the control program based on the program address data stored in the variation data storage means,
The state recovery process includes a process of recovering to an interrupt prohibited state or an interrupt permitted state based on the interrupt state information .

Electrical components control microcomputer gaming machine of claim 1 wherein performing an initialization process for initializing a control state when the stored contents which is stored in the variation data storage section is determined not to be legitimate.

Electrical components control microcomputer claim 1 or claim 2 gaming machine according that generates a check data by performing a predetermined logic operation based on at least a portion of the contents of the change data storing means.

The variable data storage means includes a work area in which a storage area is defined for each data,
The electrical components control microcomputer, the gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3 that generates the check data based on the contents of the work area.

Electrical components control microcomputer gaming machine according to claim 4, wherein you save the check data generated by the power supply stop process in the work area.

The fluctuation data storage means includes a stack area for saving data according to establishment of a predetermined condition,
Electrical components control microcomputer, the program address data, the gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 5 that stores the stack area.

The stored content of the variation data storage means includes stack address data indicating the address of the stack area,
Electrical components control microcomputer, in the state recovery process, the gaming machine according to claim 6, wherein you recover program address data by users to restore the stack address data.

Electrical components control microcomputer, in the data saving process, according to claim 6 or claim 7 gaming machine according you save the contents of the register to the stack area.

The gaming machine according to claim 8, wherein the state restoration process includes a process of restoring the contents of the register.

Power supply monitoring means that outputs a detection signal to the electric component control microcomputer when the occurrence of power interruption is detected by monitoring the state of a predetermined power supply,
Electrical components control microcomputer gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 9 for performing the power supply stop process in response to the detection signal from the power supply monitoring means.

Electric component control microcomputer
In the extra time required for interrupt processing , execute processing to update the counter used for game control,
The gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 10 to be set to the interrupt prohibited in the process of updating the counter by the remainder time.
