PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine enabled to pay a valuable object precisely by re-closing an electric power source even if the power source is suddenly broken by a service interruption or the like.SOLUTION: If an electric power source is broken by a service interruption, a service interruption flag is turned on (S1). If the flag is on (S11: Yes), put-out controls of prize balls or rental balls (S12 to S18) are skipped. In addition, the output voltage of a DC 12 V generation circuit is examined. Only if the voltage is 9.5 volts or higher (S31: Yes), the detection operation of the put-out balls is executed (S19 to S24). If lower than 9.5 volts (S31: No), on the contrary, the detection operation is skipped. The voltage within the normal operation range of a prize ball count switch or the like is "9 to 13 volts". Considering the margin of "0.5 volts", therefore, it is determined with reference to "9.5 volts" whether or not the detection operation of the put-out balls (S19 to S24) is executed. |
