The second control means is
At startup, different startup processes are executed depending on whether or not the predetermined signal is output from the monitoring means.
Initialization control is not started when the predetermined signal is output from the monitoring means at startup, initialization control is started after the output of the predetermined signal is stopped, and instruction information from the first control means is started. Based on this, the predetermined information is stored in the first storage means, and the predetermined information is stored in the first storage means.

(1) In order to achieve the above object, the gaming machine according to another aspect is a gaming machine capable of playing a game, and is supplied with power from a power supply means (for example, a power supply board) and a power supply means. A first control means for control (for example, a game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11) and a second control means that receives power from the power supply means and performs control based on instruction information from the first control means. A monitoring means (for example, a second control means) that monitors the control means (for example, the second effect control CPU012IW120b mounted on the second effect control board 012IW12b) and the power supply supplied to the second control means and notifies the second control means. 2 Power supply monitoring circuit 099IW127 that monitors the power supply supplied to the effect control board 012IW12b and outputs a power supply cutoff signal to the second effect control CPU 012IW120b when the power supply voltage is less than a predetermined value (for example, + 8V). ), And the second control means executes different start-up processes in response to a notification from the monitoring means at the start of control (for example, when a power cutoff signal is input from the power supply monitoring circuit 099IW127 at the start of control). Waits for the start of control until the input of the power cutoff signal is stopped. The portion where the second effect control CPU 012IW120b executes the processing of steps 099IWS001 and 099IWS002. When no signal is input, the log information including the acquired date and time information as the system reset date and time of the second effect control board 012IW12b is stored in the log area without waiting for the start of control. The CPU012IW120b is characterized in that it executes the processing of steps 099IWS001 and 099IWS003).
