(26) Another aspect of the present invention is a gaming frame of a gaming machine in which a game with points can be made and points are added in accordance with the occurrence of winnings,
A point management means that is provided on the game board side that is detachable from the game frame and that is communicable with a game control means for controlling the progress of the game, and that adds points using the game value owned by the player. Prepared,
The point management means includes:
A score storage means for storing the score;
The game control means specifies the amount of change in the point according to the use of the game and the occurrence of a prize, and information receiving means for receiving the update information transmitted as information capable of specifying the amount of change;
A score update means for updating the score stored in the score storage means based on the update information.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As a concept of terms used in the present embodiment, “gaming equipment” includes gaming machines (pachinko machines, slot machines, etc.), card units, Z counters, card issuing devices, clearing devices, hall management devices, prize exchanges. Oh Ru a concept including all equipment installed in the game arcade or the like.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of the BB serial ID authentication sequence shown in FIG. 7, in which challenge-response authentication is performed. Challenge-response authentication is generally an authentication method that prevents eavesdropping of IDs and the like during communication by applying special processing to character strings. For example, the authenticating side performs authentication. A random number sequence (called "challenge code") is sent to the recipient, and the recipient of the challenge code synthesizes the ID etc. and the received challenge code according to a predetermined algorithm, and a response code Generate and reply. On the side that received the response code, generate a response code in the same way from the transmitted challenge code and pre-stored ID, etc., and compare the response code that was sent with the generated response code Authentication is performed to determine whether or not.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a subroutine program of the authentication key update sequence shown in FIG. When there is an authentication key update request from the upper server 801, the main control unit 323 transmits the authentication key update request to the CU communication control unit 80. The update request from the higher-level server 801 includes new authentication key data. The main control unit 323 updates the authentication key stored in the EEPROM (not shown) to a new authentication key transmitted from the higher-level server 801, and sends an authentication key update request transmitted from the higher-level server 801. Transmit to the CU communication control unit 80. CU communication control unit 80 which has received it is, EEPROM performs a process of updating the authentication key that is stored in the (not shown) to the new authentication key sent, the main control and the results as an authentication key update response To the unit 323.

Next, with reference to FIG. 43, a description will be given of a recovery process when a power interruption occurs in the P units before reaching an operation response related to addition / subtraction data. As initial game piece count = 520, after the round trip exchanged between the normal operation instruction and the normal operation response of the CU and payout controller, Mu request, SQN = n + 2, and, operation instructions to the C-ID After the command is transmitted to the payout control unit, the payout control unit responds as an operation response with SQN = n + 3, C-ID, number of game balls = 470, number of added balls = 6, number of subtracted balls = 36, start port (1) A response of number = 2 and start port (2) number = 2 was sent to the CU. However, a case will be described in which the response does not reach the CU, and power is cut off at the P units before the CU executes the operation response process according to the response. The payout control unit 17, the P-unit communication control unit 81, and the main control board 16 are configured to operate with a backup power source for a predetermined time after the occurrence of power interruption. However, hitting a ball with high power consumption stops immediately when the power is turned off. The payout control unit shifts to the unconnected state after the occurrence of power interruption, and stops driving the ball striking motor (not shown) to enter the play stopped state. However, as described above, since it operates with a backup power source for a predetermined time after the occurrence of power interruption, if there is a floating ball that has been driven into the game area 27 and has not yet been collected, it is detected. Then, the cumulative storage of the addition / subtraction data and the number of starting ports after the response of the motion response including the previous addition / subtraction data is transmitted is made in the current ball related information storage area, and accordingly, the game ball = 470 + 0-0 = 470 is calculated and the game ball = 470 is stored.

The configuration of the modified example described above is summarized as follows.
The gaming device
A score storage means for storing the score;
Game device side identification information storage means for recording predetermined identification information;
Game device side identification information transmission control means for performing control to periodically transmit the identification information stored in the game device side identification information storage means to the gaming machine,
The gaming machine is
A specific means for identifying the amount of change in points according to the use in games and the occurrence of winnings,
Information transmitting means for transmitting update information capable of specifying the amount of change to the gaming device;
Gaming machine side identification information storage means for storing identification information transmitted under the control of the gaming apparatus side identification information transmission control means;
A gaming machine side identification information transmission control means for performing control to periodically transmit the identification information stored in the gaming machine side identification information storage means to the gaming device,
The gaming device is:
Information receiving means for receiving the update information;
A score update means for updating the score stored in the main score storage means based on the update information;
Consistency to determine whether or not the identification information transmitted under the control of the gaming machine side identification information transmission control means and the identification information stored in the gaming apparatus side identification information storage means are matched. A determination means;
And a malfunction determination means for abnormality determination when the determination judgment result indicating that no predetermined number of times consecutively aligned in該整engagement determining means is performed,
The point update means includes:
When abnormality determination is performed by the abnormality determination means, the score is updated corresponding to the total amount of change of the score in the gaming machine during the period determined to be inconsistent by the alignment determination means. Don't do it,
When it is determined that the consistency determination unit is normal based on the identification information transmitted before the abnormality determination by the abnormality determination unit is performed, the alignment determination unit determines that there is a mismatch. The points are updated based on the total amount of change of the points in the gaming machine during the period.

Also, if in the case without the backup power supply, for example, cutting or the like for some reason the wiring on the card processing payout control board 888, a payout controller 17, P base communication control unit 81, to the main control board 16 is Denden sectional When only the card unit 3 is in a power-off state, the control shown in FIGS. 41 to 49 is executed. In this case, “Detect floating ball winning by backup power source” in FIGS. 41 to 49 is changed to “cut detection (play stop)”. At this stage of cutting detection, the hitting ball is stopped and the play is stopped.
