Gaming machine
Abstract
When an alternating-current power is supplied to the ATX power supply 70, a sub power is supplied to the PC board 41 from the ATX power supply 70. When a sub power is supplied to the PC board 41, a PWOK signal is output to the ATX power supply 70 by processing performed by the CPU according to the BIOS, and the main power is supplied to the PC board 41 from the ATX power supply 70. Accordingly, the supply of the main power to the PC board 41 and the starting processing of the gaming processing program are performed automatically without any need for the conventional manual operation of a power supply switch, so that no effort is required for the starting of the slot machine.
