Abstract: In a gaming machine according to the present invention, a main control circuit transmits, to a sub control circuit, a variable display pattern command which is indicative of the variable display pattern of identification information and identifies whether or not variable display of identification information should result in a specific display mode and a variable display result command indicative of the result of variable display of identification information. If the sub control circuit determines that the combination of the received variable display pattern command and the received variable display result command is a combination at the time of an error, it detects a predetermined error and notifies the result of the detection.

Abstract: A computer main body has an opening for inserting and ejecting a PC card. The main body contains a card receiver for receiving the main body of the card inserted through the opening, and a receiving section opposed to the opening and adjacent to the card receiver. The receiving section receives a protector member. The protector member is movable between a reception position in which the protector member is received in the receiving section, and a projection position in which the protector member projects to an outside of the main body through the opening. The protector member is locked in the projection position by a lock member, thereby protecting the antenna portion of the card, which projects to the outside through the opening.
