PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To recognize an occurrence of an error related to communication between a game control means and a payout control means and, when a power supply is cut off in the occurrence of abnormality, prevent a player from putting at a disadvantage in a game machine provided with the game control means and the payout control means separately. SOLUTION: A CPU (central processing unit) of a main board, when detecting a winning of a game ball, outputs a prize ball REQ signal for requesting the payout of the prize balls and a prize ball control signal showing the number of the prize balls to be put out to a payout control CPU. The payout control CPU, when the prize ball REQ signal is turned on and the number of the prize balls is specified, turns on the prize ball BUSY (now paying out) signal. If the prize ball BUSY signal is turned on, though the prize ball REQ signal is turned off and the number of the prize balls is not specified, the CPU of the main board turns off a connecting confirmation signal and makes the prize ball control signal an invalid command. Or, when turning off the connecting confirmation signal, the CPU, after completing the payout processing of the prize balls, stops the control of the payout means. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
