Title:
GAME MACHINE, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3946531
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine which can determine whether an abnormal state of putting out prize balls is caused by noise intruding into a line or by individual differences in a main board and a put-out control board, and which can take measures without suspending the put-out of the prize balls, when the state of putting out the prize balls is made abnormal.
SOLUTION: In the case where the counting of the prize balls is performed by both the main board 100 and the put-out control board 200 in accordance with a detection signal from a prize-ball put-out sensor, it is determined that the main board 100 has not finished the counting yet when the control board 200 finishes the put-out of the prize balls (S148: No); and when it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed (S150: Yes), '1' is added to a deceleration counter for determining the magnitude of deceleration of a prize-ball put-out motor. Thus, a prize-ball put-out speed is reduced, time for detection of the prize ball by the prize-ball put-out sensor is made longer, and the detection signal is stabilized, so that miscounting caused by the individual difference can be eliminated.
