Step S1 (abbreviated as “S1” in FIG. 5; the same applies hereinafter): Initial setting processing is performed. The initial setting process is to execute initial setting of predetermined data, send a command at normal startup to each sub-control device, or return to the state before power shut down in error state and cancel error, etc. The content is to give permission.

  Step S2: The ON / OFF state of a switch (not shown) for clearing the data stored in the RAM 63 is determined. If it is determined that the switch is ON, the process proceeds to step S6; Proceed to step S3.

  Step S3: It is determined whether or not the backup flag is set. If the backup flag is set here, the process proceeds to Step S6, and if not, the process proceeds to Step S4.

  Step S4: It is determined whether or not the data stored in the RAM 63 is broken. If the data is broken, the process proceeds to Step S6. If not, the process proceeds to Step S5.

  Step S5: It is determined whether or not a return process at the time of power return is performed. If the return process is performed, a start process from when the power is shut off is performed. If the return process is not performed, the process waits for the return process to be performed.

  Step S6: A process of deleting data stored in the RAM 63 such as prize ball information and game history, which is unnecessary remaining data, is performed, and whether or not necessary data can be normally stored is checked. Proceed to S7.

  Step S7: Perform normal startup processing. This normal start-up process includes generating permission for transition to main routine processing by the main control device 60 and processing information related to the start of main control to be notified to each sub-control device. It is said.

  “Main routine processing by main controller 60” is a random number update process, input detection reception process, input management process, abnormality monitoring process, special symbol control process, normal symbol, which will be described in detail later, by a control program stored in ROM 62. The content is to repeatedly execute the control process, the decorative member control process, the lamp management process, the prize ball payout process, the external information management process, and the output management process.

Step S8: A random number update process is performed. This random number update process is to set a random number generation range corresponding to jackpot determination, effect selection, display symbol selection, small hit selection, etc. as appropriate, and perform random number update within the random number generation range.
Note that the random number update process is not limited to generating random numbers by software based on the control program stored in the ROM 62 described above, and may be generated by hardware provided outside, for example.

Step S9: An input detection reception process is performed. In this input detection reception process, the starting ball detection sensor 72, the large winning ball detection sensor 73, the continuous ball detection sensor 74, the passing ball detection sensor 75, the other winning ball detection sensor 76, and the game ball payout detection are detected in the vicinity of the specific winning opening.
