Description

（１）本発明による遊技機は、所定の遊技を行うことが可能な遊技機であって、遊技機に対する電力供給が開始されたときに初期設定処理（例えば、ステップＳ１０〜Ｓ１５の処理）を実行した後、遊技の進行を制御する遊技制御処理（例えば、ステップＳ２１〜Ｓ３３の処理）を実行する遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ（例えば、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ５６０）と、所定電位の電源（例えば、ＶSL）の電圧低下にもとづいて電圧低下信号（例えば、電源断信号）を出力する電源監視手段（例えば、電源監視回路９２０）と、あらかじめ定められた監視時間を計測して、監視時間が経過したことが計測されたときに、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータをリセットするリセット手段（例えば、ウオッチドッグタイマ５０６ｂ）とを備え、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータは、遊技制御処理で使用されるデータを記憶し、遊技機への電力供給が停止しても所定期間は記憶内容を保持することが可能な記憶手段（例えば、ＲＡＭ５５）と、電圧低下信号が入力されたことにもとづいて、記憶手段における所定領域に特定値が設定されていることを条件に、記憶手段の記憶内容を保存するための電力供給停止時処理を実行する電力供給停止時処理実行手段（例えば、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ５６０におけるステップＳ４５３〜Ｓ４８１の処理を実行する部分）と、電力供給が開始されたときに、所定領域（例えば、バックアップフラグ領域）に所定値（例えば、５５（Ｈ））が設定されていることを条件に、記憶手段の記憶内容にもとづいて制御状態を電力供給が停止する前の状態に復旧させる復旧処理を実行する復旧処理手段（例えば、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ５６０におけるステップＳ７，Ｓ４１〜Ｓ４５の処理を実行する部分）と、所定領域に特定値（例えば、ＡＡ（Ｈ））が設定されていない場合には電力供給停止時処理の実行を禁止する禁止手段（例えば、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ５６０におけるステップＳ４５０の処理を実行する部分）とを含み、電力供給停止時処理を実行するときに所定領域に所定値を設定し（図５３におけるステップ４５３参照）、電力供給が開始されたときに、所定領域に特定値を設定する（図５１におけるステップ４３，Ｓ１３参照）ことを特徴とする。
そのような構成によれば、電力供給が停止するときに不正確な電力供給停止時処理が実行されることを防止して、電力供給が開始されたときに不正確な復旧処理が実行されないようにすることができる。
また、リセット手段の動作を有効化または無効化する場合に必要な設定を行うリセット設定手段（例えば、遊技制御用マイクロコンピュータ５６０におけるステップＳ４，Ｓ４８２の処理を実行する部分）を設けるようにしてもよい。 (1) A gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine capable of performing a predetermined game, and performs an initial setting process (for example, processes in steps S10 to S15) when power supply to the gaming machine is started. After the execution, a game control microcomputer (for example, the game control microcomputer 560) that executes a game control process (for example, the processes of steps S21 to S33) for controlling the progress of the game, and a power source (for example, a predetermined potential) Power monitoring means (for example, power monitoring circuit 920) that outputs a voltage drop signal (for example, power-off signal) based on the voltage drop of VSL), and a predetermined monitoring time is measured, and the monitoring time has elapsed. Resetting means (for example, watchdog timer 506b) for resetting the game control microcomputer when The game control microcomputer stores data used in the game control process, and can store the stored contents for a predetermined period even when the power supply to the game machine is stopped (for example, the RAM 55). ) And a power supply stop process for saving the storage contents of the storage means on the condition that a specific value is set in a predetermined area of the storage means based on the input of the voltage drop signal power supply stop process execution means (for example, portions for performing the processing of steps S453~S481 in the gaming control microcomputer 560) and, when the power supply is started, a predetermined area (e.g., the backup flag area) On the condition that a predetermined value (for example, 55 (H)) is set in the power supply, the power supply is stopped in the control state based on the storage contents of the storage means. Recovery processing means (for example, a portion for executing the processing of steps S7, S41 to S45 in the game control microcomputer 560) and a specific value (for example, AA ( H)) is not set, and includes a prohibition means for prohibiting execution of the power supply stop process (for example, the part for executing the process of step S450 in the game control microcomputer 560). A predetermined value is set in a predetermined area when the process is executed (see step 453 in FIG. 53) , and a specific value is set in the predetermined area when power supply is started (see steps 43 and S13 in FIG. 51). It is characterized by that.
According to such a configuration, an inaccurate power supply stop process is prevented from being executed when the power supply is stopped, and an inaccurate recovery process is not executed when the power supply is started. Can be.
Also, there may be provided reset setting means (for example, a part for executing the processing of steps S4 and S482 in the game control microcomputer 560) for performing settings necessary for enabling or disabling the operation of the reset means. Good.
