ABSTRACT:
A slot machine has a coin sensor, which is connected to a CPU via a signal line, and generates a coin-detecting signal upon insertion of a coin. The slot machine stands by for execution of a game in response to the coin insertion, under the control of the CPU. A reel-stop switch is connected to the CPU via a signal line, and generates a reel-stop signal in response to a button depression. A test signal generator outputs a test signal to the signal line of the reel-stop switch. The CPU checks the signal line of the coin sensor. If the test signal is detected through the signal line of the coin sensor, execution of the game is inhibited, whereby a fraudulent operation is detected.
