Claims

A gaming machine in which a player can play a predetermined game,
A game control microcomputer for controlling the progress of the game;
A payout control microcomputer for performing payout control of game media used in the game based on a command from the game control microcomputer ;
Power supply monitoring means for monitoring a predetermined potential power supply used in a gaming machine and outputting a detection signal when a detection condition is satisfied ;
The game control microcomputer and the payout control microcomputer are provided with a RAM capable of holding the content immediately before the power supply is stopped by the backup power source for at least a predetermined time even when the power supply is stopped.
The game control microcomputer is:
An initialization process is executed only at the start of power supply, and after executing the initialization process, an update process for updating a first random number counter used for game control is repeatedly executed,
A game control process activated by an internal timer interrupt of the game control microcomputer when the update process is repeatedly executed, which is a counter different from the first random number counter and is advantageous to the player Executing a process of updating a second random number counter for determining whether or not to enter a specific gaming state;
The game control microcomputer and the payout control microcomputer perform power supply stop processing for storing information necessary for restoring the control state in the RAM based on a detection signal from the power supply monitoring means. ,
The game control microcomputer controls the control state based on information stored in the RAM on the condition that the information necessary for restoring the control state is stored in the RAM when the power supply is restored. Execute the return process to restore, and send a command indicating that a predetermined error screen is displayed,
The payout control microcomputer executes a return process for restoring the control state based on the storage information of the storage means when the power supply is restored,
The game control microcomputer does not perform a command transmission process in the power supply stop process.
The payout control microcomputer does not perform a command reception process in the power supply stop process,
By making the detection condition for outputting the detection signal to the game control microcomputer and the detection condition for outputting the detection signal to the payout control microcomputer the same detection condition, the power supply monitoring means A gaming machine that outputs detection signals to the gaming control microcomputer and the payout control microcomputer at the same timing .
