The processing of steps S2507 and S2508 of the start port switch determination process (step S259a) is executed by the CPU 56 (for example, the CPU 56 counts the number of times that the first detection means detects the passage of the game medium again before the passage of time.

With such a configuration, useful error information can be output using a common output means.

また、異常入賞を検出したことや電波異常を検出したこと、初期化処理が実行されたことにもとづいてセキュリティ信号の出力を開始した後、まだセキュリティ信号の出力中であるときに磁気異常を検出した場合には、異常入賞の検出や電波異常の検出、初期化処理の実行にもとづくセキュリティ信号の出力制御から磁気異常にもとづくセキュリティ信号の出力制御に切り替えられる。具体的には、異常入賞の検出や電波異常の検出、初期化処理の実行にもとづいてセキュリティ信号情報タイマがセットされていることによりステップＳ１００４〜Ｓ１０１３の処理が実行されてセキュリティ信号が外部出力されているときに、磁気異常が検出されると、センサエラー判定処理において磁気異常フラグがセットされる（ステップＳ２６０，Ｓ２６１参照）。そして、それ以降は、磁気異常フラグがセットされていることによりステップＳ１００１〜Ｓ１００３の処理に切り替わり、セキュリティ信号情報タイマはクリアされて（ステップＳ１００２参照）、初期化処理で磁気異常フラグがリセットされるまで、磁気異常フラグがセットされていることにもとづいてセキュリティ信号が外部出力される（ステップＳ１００３参照）。なお、磁気異常を検出した場合にも異常入賞や電波異常の検出をした場合と同様に、所定期間だけセキュリティ信号を出力するようにしてもよいし、他のエラー判定にもとづくセキュリティ信号の出力期間が行われている場合には、出力期間が経過しさらに待機期間が経過した後にセキュリティ信号を出力するようにしてもよい。 Also, after starting the security signal output based on the detection of abnormal winnings, the detection of radio wave abnormality, and the initialization process being executed, the magnetic abnormality is detected when the security signal is still being output. In this case, the security signal output control based on the abnormal winning detection, the radio wave abnormality detection, and the initialization process is switched to the security signal output control based on the magnetic abnormality. Specifically, the security signal information timer is set based on detection of abnormal winnings, detection of radio wave abnormality, and execution of initialization processing, whereby the processing of steps S1004 to S1013 is executed and the security signal is output to the outside. When a magnetic abnormality is detected, a magnetic abnormality flag is set in the sensor error determination process (see steps S260 and S261). Thereafter, when the magnetic abnormality flag is set, the process switches to steps S1001 to S1003, the security signal information timer is cleared (see step S1002), and the magnetic abnormality flag is reset by the initialization process. Until then, a security signal is externally output based on the fact that the magnetic abnormality flag is set (see step S1003). Even when a magnetic abnormality is detected, a security signal may be output only for a predetermined period as in the case of detecting an abnormal winning or a radio wave abnormality , or a security signal output period based on another error determination. In the case where the security period is set, the security signal may be output after the output period has elapsed and the standby period has elapsed.
