Claims (1)

In the event of a power outage, a power outage process that saves data for resuming the game from the gaming state at the time of the power outage, an initialization process that initializes the RAM when the power is turned on, and a backup start setting that performs setting processing according to the saved data A power-on process for performing any one of the processes, a main process for performing a process related to the progress of the game, including an output process for turning on a plurality of solenoids and a random number update process after the power-on process is performed, A main control board having means for performing a residual process for performing the random number update process after the end of the process;
A game machine comprising a payout control board that performs processing during a power failure to save data indicating the current award ball payout state and ball lending payout state at the time of a power failure ,
The main control board is
Normal time processing execution means for executing normal processing composed of the main processing and the residual processing after finishing the power-on processing;
Backup setting means for setting the NMI flag by changing the NMI control signal input to the forced interrupt terminal;
Timer means for measuring time; and
A time-up determination means for setting an INT flag indicating that the elapsed time from the start of the main processing timed by the timer means has passed a set time;
A process regression means for forcibly aborting the residual process when the INT flag is set by the time-up determination means, and returning the process after the abort to the head of the main process ;
If the NMI flag is set by executing the process for determining the presence or absence of the NMI flag before the process for determining the presence or absence of the INT flag, the normal time is determined regardless of the presence or absence of the INT flag. Forcibly stopping the processing of the power failure, and shifting to the power failure processing, the power failure processing transition means,
In the power failure process, access to the RAM is prohibited, the output to the solenoid is turned off, the NMI flag is turned off before the main process is performed when the power is turned on, and the remaining process is executed. An OFF state setting means for setting the INT flag set in the OFF state in the main processing, and
The payout control board performs the power failure processing by changing the NMI control signal input to the forced interrupt terminal when the NMI control signal input to the forced interrupt terminal of the main control board changes. Machine.
