the gaming machine; an intermediate control device (a sub-control board 200) for controlling
the second hierarchical level situated lower than the first hierarchical level, under
control of the main control device; and a lower control device (an image control board
300) for controlling a third hierarchical level situated lower than the second hierarchical
level, under control of the intermediate control device. |
