Data saving means for saving data in use by the microcomputer to the stack area;
Data restoration means for restoring data saved in the stack area by the saving means as data used by the microcomputer;
An unused stack area specifying means for specifying an unused stack area in which the data saved by the data saving means is not stored in the stack area;
Initialization means for initializing the unused stack area specified by the unused stack area specifying means in the storage area of the main data storage means for each game ;
Timer interrupt processing execution means for interrupting a process being executed every predetermined unit time and executing a timer interrupt process;
Branch counter updating means for updating a branch counter value for identifying a process to be executed in the timer interrupt process according to the execution of the timer interrupt process;
A plurality of types of processing executed in the timer interrupt processing, including processing for monitoring the input state of the operation detecting means for detecting the player's operation and storing the input information indicating the input state in the main data storage means A process selection means for selecting a process corresponding to the branch counter value as a process to be executed in the timer interrupt process ,
In accordance with the occurrence of the external interrupt, a power interruption process for enabling normal return of the control state of the main control means to the control state before the power supply stops when the power supply is started Power interruption interruption processing execution means for executing power interruption interruption processing;
Multiple interrupt prohibiting means for prohibiting the other interrupt process during the execution of either the timer interrupt process or the power interruption interrupt process,
The input information stored in the timer interrupt process is read, and a basic process for controlling one game is executed by gradually shifting a plurality of control states according to the progress of the game based on the read input information. Basic processing execution means to
Control information storage means that is a storage area assigned to the work area of the main data storage means and can store a plurality of the control information;
Control information generating means for generating the control information in accordance with the progress of the game in the basic processing and storing the control information in the control information storing means ;
Control information transmission processing means for performing control information transmission processing for transmitting control information stored in the control information storage means to the sub-control means in the timer interrupt processing;
Including
The power interruption interrupt processing execution means waits for completion of the timer interruption processing being executed when the external interruption occurs during execution of the timer interruption processing. the execution,
The control information transmission processing means performs the control information transmission processing only once when the branching counter value indicates a specific value in the timer interrupt processing, and the control information storage means includes a plurality of the control information. A slot machine that, when stored, transmits only control information generated at the earliest time among a plurality of control information stored in the control information storage means in the control information transmission process .
