Hereinafter, processing equivalent to S111 to S113 is referred to as “card remaining amount use subtraction processing”.

  The ball lending unit 20 that has received the subtraction completion notice determines whether or not the unit remaining amount after the subtraction update is 105 yen or more corresponding to one frequency including consumption tax (S114). If it is determined in S114 that the unit balance is 105 yen or more, the process returns to S107. On the other hand, when it is determined in S114 that the unit remaining amount is less than 105 yen, it waits for the receipt of money, the acceptance of the electronic money card 5, or the termination operation (S115). When money is accepted in S115, the process returns to S102. If the electronic money card 5 is received in S115, the process proceeds to S151 described later. If an end operation is accepted in S115, the process proceeds to S171 described later.

  When the payment unit 4 receives the payment card 4 by the payment card R / W 25 (S121), the ball rental unit 20 receives the payment ID and the card remaining amount (including the payment source information) recorded in the received payment card 4 as a system controller. 50 is transmitted (S122). The system controller 50 that has received the payment ID and the balance of the card performs verification of the received balance of the card and the balance (and payment source information) stored in association with the received payment ID (S123), If the verification is OK, a verification OK notification is transmitted to the ball lending unit 20 that is the transmission source of the deposit ID and the remaining card amount (S124). In the following, processing equivalent to S122 to S124 is referred to as “card balance check processing”. Upon receiving the verification OK notification, the ball lending unit 20 displays the remaining card amount recorded on the accepted payment card 4 on the display 27 (S125), and enters a ball lending possible state (S126).

  When the ball lending button 15 is pressed and the ball lending operation is accepted in this ball lending state (S127), the ball lending process using the remaining amount of the card is performed, and the used amount and the consumption tax corresponding to the used amount are calculated. A subtraction process for subtracting and updating from the card remaining amount is performed (S128), and the card remaining amount use subtracting process is performed in S129 to S131 to determine whether or not the card remaining amount after the subtraction update is 105 yen or more corresponding to one frequency. (S132). If it is determined in S132 that the remaining card amount is 105 yen or more, the process returns to S125. On the other hand, when it is determined in S132 that the remaining amount of the card is less than 105 yen, it waits for the receipt of money, the acceptance of the electronic money card 5, or the termination operation (S133). When money is received in S133, the received money amount addition processing is performed in S134 to S137, and the received money amount is associated with the deposit ID received in S137 and the received payment card 4 is received as the card balance. In addition to recording, “cash” is recorded as the deposit source (S138), and the process returns to S125. If the electronic money card 5 is received in S133, the process proceeds to S151 described later. If an end operation is accepted in S133, the process proceeds to S171 to be described later.

  Further, when receiving the electronic money card 5 by the electronic money card / member card R / W 26 (S151), the ball lending unit 20 receives the electronic money ID and the electronic money balance of each carrier recorded in the received electronic money card 5. Is transmitted to the electronic money terminal 60 of each carrier (S152). The electronic money terminal 60 receives the electronic money ID and the electronic money balance transmitted from the ball lending unit 20, and transmits them to the electronic money management server 9a of the carrier (S153). The electronic money management server 9a that has received the electronic money ID and the electronic money balance collates the received electronic money balance with the electronic money balance stored in association with the received electronic money ID, If OK, a verification OK notification is transmitted to the electronic money terminal 60. The electronic money terminal 60 receives the verification OK notification transmitted from the electronic money management server 9a (S154), and transmits it to the ball lending unit 20 that is the transmission source of the electronic money ID and the electronic money balance. (S155). In the following, processing equivalent to S152 to S155 is referred to as “electronic money remaining amount matching processing”. The ball lending unit 20 that has received the verification OK notification displays the electronic money balance of each carrier recorded in the accepted electronic money card 5 on the display 27 (S156).

  Here, when receiving the designation of the carrier to be used for depositing as shown in D121 of FIG. 5 and selecting the deposit amount as shown in D122 of FIG. 5 (S157), the carrier ID of the designated carrier The selected deposit amount is transmitted to the system controller 50 (S158). The system controller 50 that has received the carrier ID and the deposit amount generates a deposit ID (S159), associates the received deposit amount with the generated deposit ID, stores the received deposit amount as a remaining amount, and receives the received receipt amount as a deposit source. The carrier ID of the received carrier ID is stored (S160), and the generated deposit ID is transmitted to the ball lending unit 20 that is the transmission source of the carrier ID and the deposit amount (S161). Hereinafter, processing equivalent to S158 to S161 is referred to as “payment amount addition processing”. The ball lending unit 20 that has received the deposit ID stores the deposit amount in the RAM of the control unit 22 as a unit balance in association with the received deposit ID or records it in the accepted checkout card 4 as a card balance. At the same time, the designated carrier is stored or recorded as a deposit source (S162).

  Then, the deposit amount is subtracted from the electronic money balance of the carrier designated in D121 of FIG. 5 (S163), and the electronic money ID of the carrier and the electronic money balance after the subtraction update are stored in the electronic money terminal 60 of the carrier. It transmits to (S164). The electronic money terminal 60 receives the electronic money ID transmitted from the ball lending unit 20 and the electronic money balance after the subtraction update, and transmits it to the electronic money management server 9a of the carrier (S165). The electronic money management server 9a that has received the electronic money ID and the electronic money balance after the subtraction update stores the electronic money ID in association with the received electronic money ID based on the received electronic money balance after the subtraction update. The electronic money balance is updated, and an update completion notification is transmitted to the electronic money terminal 60. The electronic money terminal 60 receives the update completion notification transmitted from the electronic money management server 9a (S166), and sends it to the ball rental unit 20 which is the transmission source of the electronic money ID and the electronic money balance after the subtraction update. It transmits to (S167). Hereinafter, processing equivalent to S164 to S167 is referred to as “electronic money remaining amount subtraction processing”. The ball lending unit 20 that has received the update completion notification displays the updated unit balance or card balance and electronic money balance on the display 27 (S168).

  As described above, the electronic money balance specified from the electronic money value specifying information recorded on the electronic money card 5 owned by the player is converted into the value for gaming, so that the player owns money. Even if it is not, it is possible to make a deposit with the remaining electronic money, so that the convenience of the player is improved. Moreover, even if the player contracts with a plurality of carriers by converting the electronic money balance specified from the electronic money value specifying information of the carrier designated by the player into the magnitude of the value for gaming. Since it is possible to deposit with the electronic money balance of the desired carrier, the convenience of the player is improved.

  In addition, when the payment unit 4 does not receive the payment card 4 with the payment card R / W25, the ball rental unit 20 receives the payment card 4 with the payment card R / W25 after performing the processing of S108 to S113. After the processing of S126 to S131, it is determined whether the unit remaining amount or the card remaining amount is 1000 yen or less, which is a predetermined game value (S169). If it is determined in S169 that the remaining amount exceeds 1000 yen, the process returns to S108 or S126. On the other hand, when it is determined in S169 that the remaining amount is 1000 yen or less, it is determined whether the automatic deposit is ON or the automatic deposit is OFF (S170).

  If it is determined in S170 that automatic depositing is OFF, that is, if it is determined in D122 in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the automatic deposit is ON in S170, that is, if it is determined in D122 in FIG. Proceeding to S158, the processes of S158 to S168 (ie, automatic deposit process) are performed.

  In this way, the electronic monetary value recorded on the electronic money card 5 owned by the player on the condition that the unit remaining amount or the remaining amount of the card becomes equal to or less than the predetermined gaming value after the subtraction process. The electronic money balance specified from the specific information is automatically converted into a game value, so that even if the unit balance or card balance is reduced, it is automatically received without accepting a deposit operation from the player. Since the remaining amount of electronic money is deposited, the convenience of the player is improved.

  Further, upon accepting the end operation, the ball lending unit 20 waits for the payment card discharge operation or the electronic money return operation (S171).

  When the settlement card discharge operation is accepted in S171 (S172), when the settlement card 4 is not accepted by the settlement card R / W 25, the deposit ID and the unit remaining amount (payment source information) stored in the RAM of the control unit 22 are received. And the deposit ID and the unit balance (including deposit source information) are written to the new checkout card 4 as a card balance, the checkout card 4 is discharged, and the checkout card 4 is discharged. The recorded card balance is displayed on the display 27 (S173), and when the settlement card 4 is accepted by the settlement card R / W 25, the accepted settlement card 4 is discharged and the settlement is discharged. The remaining card amount recorded on the card 4 is displayed on the display 27 (S174).

  When the electronic money return operation is accepted in S171 (S181), if the electronic money card 5 is not accepted by the electronic money card / member card R / W 26, the processing in S151 to S156 is performed, and then the process returns to S182. If the electronic money card 5 is accepted by the electronic money card / member card R / W 26, the breakdown of the payment source is displayed as shown in D134 of FIG. 6 and the payment source of the remaining amount to be returned is designated. (S182).

  In S182, designation of return of the remaining amount in which the deposit source is cash is accepted, designation of a carrier for returning the remaining amount is accepted as shown in D135 of FIG. 6, and electronic money is sent to the electronic money as shown in D136 of FIG. When the designation of the return amount is accepted (S183), the receipt ID stored in the RAM of the control unit 22 or the receipt ID recorded in the settlement card 4 and the designated return amount are transmitted to the system controller 50. (S184). The system controller 50 that has received the deposit ID and the return amount subtracts and updates the received return amount from the remaining amount stored in association with the received deposit ID (S185), and sends a subtraction completion notification to the deposit ID. To the ball lending unit 20 that is the source of the return amount (S186). Hereinafter, processing equivalent to S184 to S186 is referred to as “card remaining amount return subtraction processing”.

  The ball lending unit 20 that has received the notification of completion of subtraction updates the return amount by subtracting it from the remaining amount of the unit or the remaining amount of the card (S187), and converts the return amount into the value of the electronic monetary value. The electronic money balance of the carrier designated in D135 is added and updated (S188), and the electronic money ID of the carrier and the electronic money balance after the addition update are transmitted to the electronic money terminal 60 of the carrier (S189). . The electronic money terminal 60 receives the electronic money ID transmitted from the ball lending unit 20 and the electronic money balance after the addition update, and transmits it to the electronic money management server 9a of the carrier (S190). The electronic money management server 9a that has received the electronic money ID and the electronic money balance after the addition update stores it in association with the received electronic money ID based on the received electronic money balance after the addition update. The remaining amount of electronic money is updated, and an update completion notification is transmitted to the electronic money terminal 60. The electronic money terminal 60 receives the update completion notification transmitted from the electronic money management server 9a (S191), and sends it to the ball rental unit 20 that is the transmission source of the electronic money ID and the electronic money balance after the addition update. It transmits to (S192). Hereinafter, processing equivalent to S189 to S192 is referred to as “electronic money remaining amount addition processing”.

  In this way, the player can add a plurality of carriers by updating the amount of the converted electronic money value to the electronic money balance specified from the electronic money value specifying information of the carrier designated by the player. Even if it is contracted with the player, since the fractional amount can be returned for the electronic money balance of the desired carrier, the convenience of the player is improved.

  The ball lending unit 20 that has received the update completion determines whether the unit remaining amount or the card remaining amount after the subtraction update is zero (S193). If it is determined in S193 that the unit balance or the card balance is not zero, if the settlement card 4 is not received by the settlement card R / W 25, the deposit ID and the unit balance (stored in the RAM of the control unit 22 ( Delete the payment source information), write the payment ID and the unit balance (including the payment source information) to the new payment card 4 as the card balance, and the payment card 4 and the accepted electronic money card 5 Then, the updated card balance and electronic money balance are displayed on the display 27 (S194). On the other hand, when the settlement card 4 is received by the settlement card R / W 25, the accepted settlement card 4 and electronic money card 5 are discharged, and the updated card balance and electronic money balance are displayed on the display 27. Displayed (S195).

  If it is determined in S193 that the unit balance or the card balance is zero, if the settlement card 4 is not received by the settlement card R / W 25, the deposit ID and the unit balance stored in the RAM of the control unit 22 are accepted. (Including the deposit source information) is deleted, the accepted electronic money card 5 is discharged, and the updated card balance (ie, 0 yen) and the electronic money balance are displayed on the display 27 (S196). On the other hand, when the settlement card 4 is received by the settlement card R / W 25, the accepted settlement card 4 is collected and the accepted electronic money card 5 is discharged, so that the renewed card balance (ie 0) Yen) and the remaining amount of electronic money are displayed on the display 27 (S197).

  In S182, the designation of the return of the remaining amount that is the deposit source is the carrier is accepted. When the designation of the return amount to the electronic money is accepted as shown in D136 of FIG. Is performed. However, in S188, the return amount is converted into the value of the electronic money value, and is added and updated with respect to the electronic money balance of the carrier specified in D134 in FIG.

  Thus, when the unit balance or card balance converted from the electronic money balance is converted back to the electronic money value, the original electronic money balance used for the conversion to the game value is converted. Since the converted electronic money value is added and updated, it can be prevented from being used to transfer the electronic money value to a carrier different from the carrier corresponding to the original electronic money balance. . That is, once the balance of electronic money is converted to the value of gaming value, a fee paid by the game hall 7 to the card company 8 is generated, but it is possible to prevent the transfer from being performed unnecessarily. Thus, it is possible to prevent the payment of an unnecessary fee in the game hall 7.

  Next, FIGS. 18 to 20 are flowcharts showing an example of member processing in the ball lending unit 20 according to the first embodiment. First, in FIG. 18, the ball lending unit 20 performs the processing of S101 'to S109' instead of the processing of S101 to S124.

Moreover, even if the player contracts with a plurality of carriers by converting the electronic money balance specified from the electronic money value specifying information of the carrier designated by the player into the magnitude of the value for gaming. Since it is possible to deposit with the electronic money balance of the desired carrier, the convenience of the player is improved.

  When the settlement mode selection is accepted in S205 (S261), the system waits for a money return operation or acceptance of the electronic money card 5 (S262).

  In S262, a money return operation is accepted (S271), and when the designation of the return amount to money is accepted (S272) as shown in D212 of FIG. The amount is updated by subtracting from the remaining card amount (S276), and it is determined whether or not the remaining card amount after the subtracting update is zero (S277). If it is determined in S277 that the remaining card amount is not zero, the money corresponding to the return amount is paid out and returned, the accepted payment card 4 is discharged, and the updated card remaining amount is displayed on the display 37. (S278). On the other hand, if it is determined in S277 that the remaining card amount is zero, the money corresponding to the return amount is paid out and returned, the accepted settlement card 4 is collected, and the updated card remaining amount (that is, zero). Is displayed on the display 37 (S279).

  When the electronic money card 5 is received by the electronic money card / member card R / W 36 in S262 (S281), the electronic money remaining amount matching process is performed in S282 to S285, and as shown in D214 of FIG. The breakdown is displayed and the designation of the deposit source of the remaining amount to be returned is awaited (S286).

  In S286, the designation of return of the remaining amount in which the deposit source is cash is accepted, the designation of the carrier for returning the remaining amount is accepted as shown in D215 of FIG. When the designation of the return amount is accepted (S287), the card remaining amount return subtraction processing is performed in S288 to S290, and the return amount is subtracted and updated from the card remaining amount (S291), and the return amount is the magnitude of the electronic money value. 12 is added and updated with respect to the electronic money balance of the carrier specified in D215 of FIG. 12 (S292), and the electronic money balance addition processing is performed in S293 to S296.

  Next, the operation of the gaming system 1 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following, the visitor process will be described first, and then the member process will be described. The steps that differ between the two processes are indicated by a dash (') in the figure, and only the different steps are described in the member process. Do.

  First, FIGS. 35 to 37 are flowcharts showing an example of visitor processing in the ball lending unit 20 according to the second embodiment. When accepting the electronic money card 5 by the electronic money card / member card R / W 26 (S301), the ball lending unit 20 performs the electronic money remaining amount collation process in S302 to S305 and applies the received electronic money card 5 to the received electronic money card 5. The recorded electronic money balance of each carrier is displayed on the display 27 (S306), and as shown in D301 of FIG. 25, the designation of the carrier for returning the fractional amount is accepted, the receipt of money, or the reception of the settlement card 4 (S307).

  When accepting money by the money accepting means (S311), the ball lending unit 20 specifies a fractional amount based on the accepted amount (S312), and transmits the accepted amount minus the fractional amount to the system controller 50 ( S313). The system controller 50 that has received the received amount-fractional amount generates a deposit ID (S314), stores the received received amount-fractional amount as a remaining amount in association with the generated deposit ID (S315), The generated deposit ID is transmitted to the ball lending unit 20 that is the transmission source of the received amount-fractional amount (S316). Hereinafter, processing equivalent to S313 to S316 is referred to as “accepted amount addition processing excluding fractional amount”.

  The ball lending unit 20 that has received the deposit ID stores the received amount-fractional amount as the unit remaining amount in the RAM of the control unit 22 in association with the received deposit ID, and stores “cash” as the deposit source. (S317), the fractional amount is converted into the value of the electronic monetary value, and added and updated to the electronic money balance of the carrier designated in D301 of FIG. 25 (S318), and the electronic money balance is obtained in S319 to S322. An addition process is performed to display the updated unit balance and electronic money balance on the display 27 (S323), and a ball lending state is established (S324).

  When the ball lending button 15 is pressed and a ball lending operation is accepted in this ball lending state (S325), a ball lending process using the remaining amount of the unit is performed, and the use amount and the consumption tax corresponding to the use amount are calculated. A subtraction process for subtracting and updating the unit remaining amount is performed (S326), and the card remaining amount use subtracting process is performed in S327 to S329 to determine whether or not the unit remaining amount after the subtraction update is zero (S330). If it is determined in S330 that the unit balance is not zero, the process returns to S323. On the other hand, when it is determined in S330 that the unit remaining amount is zero, it waits for the receipt of money, the electronic money deposit operation, or the end operation (S331). When money is accepted in S331, the process returns to S312. If the electronic money deposit operation is accepted in S331, the process proceeds to S351 described later. If an end operation is accepted in S331, the process proceeds to S371 described later.

  Further, when receiving the payment card 4 by the payment card R / W 25 (S341), the ball lending unit 20 performs the card remaining amount inquiry process in S342 to S344, and the remaining card amount recorded in the received payment card 4 is obtained. It is displayed on the display 27 (S345), and it becomes a ball lending possible state (S346). Then, the processing of S325 to S332 is performed (however, the unit remaining amount is read as the card remaining amount).

  The ball lending unit 20 accepts an electronic money deposit operation (S351), accepts designation of a carrier used for deposit as shown in D321 of FIG. 26, and selects a deposit amount as shown in D322 of FIG. Is received (S352), the fractional amount is specified based on the deposit amount (S353), and the carrier ID of the designated carrier and the deposit amount-fractional amount are transmitted to the system controller 50 (S354). The system controller 50 that has received the carrier ID and the deposit amount-fractional amount generates a deposit ID (S355), and stores the received deposit amount-fractional amount as the remaining amount in association with the generated deposit ID. Then, the carrier of the received carrier ID is stored as a deposit source (S356), and the generated deposit ID is transmitted to the ball lending unit 20 which is the transmission source of the carrier ID and the deposit amount-fractional amount (S357). . Hereinafter, processing equivalent to S354 to S357 is referred to as “payment amount addition processing excluding fractional amount”.

  The ball lending unit 20 that has received the deposit ID stores the deposit amount-fractional amount in the RAM of the control unit 22 as a unit remaining amount in association with the received deposit ID, or accepts it as a card remaining amount. 26, the specified carrier is stored or recorded as a deposit source (S358), and the fractional amount is removed from the deposit amount from the electronic money balance of the carrier specified in D321 of FIG. The amount is subtracted and updated (S359), and the electronic money balance subtraction process is performed in S360 to S363, and the updated unit balance or card balance and electronic money balance are displayed on the display 27 (S364).

  As described above, the electronic money balance specified from the electronic money value specifying information recorded on the electronic money card 5 owned by the player is converted into the value for gaming, so that the player owns money. Even if it is not, it is possible to make a deposit with the remaining electronic money, so that the convenience of the player is improved. Moreover, even if the player contracts with a plurality of carriers by converting the electronic money balance specified from the electronic money value specifying information of the carrier designated by the player into the magnitude of the value for gaming. Since it is possible to deposit with the electronic money balance of the desired carrier, the convenience of the player is improved.

  Further, when the payment unit 4 has not received the payment card 4 with the payment card R / W 25, the ball rental unit 20 has received the payment card 4 with the payment card R / W 25 after performing the processing of S324 to S329. After the processes of S346 and S325 to S329 are performed, it is determined whether or not the remaining amount of the unit or the remaining amount of the card is 1000 yen or less which is a predetermined game value (S365). . If it is determined in S365 that the remaining amount exceeds 1000 yen, the process returns to S324 or S346. On the other hand, if it is determined in S365 that the remaining amount is 1000 yen or less, it is determined whether the automatic deposit is ON or the automatic deposit is OFF (S366).

  If it is determined in S366 that automatic depositing is OFF, that is, if it is determined in D322 in FIG. 26 that the “No” button is pressed and automatic depositing is not selected, the process returns to S330. On the other hand, if it is determined in S366 that automatic depositing is ON, that is, if it is determined in D322 in FIG. 26 that the “Yes” button is pressed and automatic depositing is selected, no depositing operation is accepted from the player. Proceeding to S353, the processes of S353 to S364 (ie, automatic deposit process) are performed.

  In this way, the electronic monetary value recorded on the electronic money card 5 owned by the player on the condition that the unit remaining amount or the remaining amount of the card becomes equal to or less than the predetermined gaming value after the subtraction process. The electronic money balance specified from the specific information is automatically converted into a game value, so that even if the unit balance or card balance is reduced, it is automatically received without accepting a deposit operation from the player. Since the remaining amount of electronic money is deposited, the convenience of the player is improved.

  Further, when receiving the end operation, the ball lending unit 20 waits for the payment card discharge operation or the electronic money return operation (S371).

  When the settlement card discharge operation is accepted in S371 (S372), when the settlement card 4 is not accepted by the settlement card R / W 25, the deposit ID and the unit remaining amount (payment source information) stored in the RAM of the control unit 22 are received. And the deposit ID and the unit balance (including deposit source information) are written to the new settlement card 4 as the remaining card amount, and the settlement card 4 and the accepted electronic money card 5 are discharged. The remaining card amount recorded on the discharged payment card 4 is displayed on the display 27 (S373), and when the payment card 4 is received by the payment card R / W 25, the payment card 4 The accepted electronic money card 5 is discharged, and the remaining card amount recorded on the payment card 4 is displayed. To display in the Lee 27 (S374).

  When the electronic money return operation is accepted in S371 (S381), the breakdown of the deposit source is displayed as shown in D334 of FIG. 27, and the designation of the deposit source of the remaining amount to be returned is awaited (S382).

  In S382, when the designation of the return of the remaining amount in which the deposit source is cash is accepted, and the designation of the carrier for returning the remaining amount is accepted as shown in D335 of FIG. 27, the deposit amount from the cash is returned to the electronic money. (S383), the card remaining amount return subtraction process is performed in S384 to S386, the return amount is subtracted and updated from the unit remaining amount or the card remaining amount (S387), and the return amount is converted into the value of the electronic monetary value. Then, the electronic money balance of the carrier designated in D335 of FIG. 27 is added and updated (S388), and the electronic money balance addition process is performed in S389 to S392.

  In this way, the player can add a plurality of carriers by updating the amount of the converted electronic money value to the electronic money balance specified from the electronic money value specifying information of the carrier designated by the player. Even if it is contracted with the player, since the fractional amount can be returned for the electronic money balance of the desired carrier, the convenience of the player is improved.

  The ball lending unit 20 that has received the update completion determines whether the unit remaining amount or the card remaining amount after the subtraction update is zero (S393). If it is determined in S393 that the unit balance or card balance is not zero, if the settlement card 4 is not received by the settlement card R / W 25, the deposit ID and the unit balance ( Delete the payment source information), write the payment ID and the unit balance (including the payment source information) to the new payment card 4 as the card balance, and the payment card 4 and the accepted electronic money card 5 And the updated card balance and electronic money balance are displayed on the display 27 (S394). On the other hand, when the settlement card 4 is received by the settlement card R / W 25, the accepted settlement card 4 and electronic money card 5 are discharged, and the updated card balance and electronic money balance are displayed on the display 27. It is displayed (S395).

  If it is determined in S393 that the unit balance or the card balance is zero, if the settlement card 4 is not received by the settlement card R / W 25, the deposit ID and the unit balance stored in the RAM of the control unit 22 are received. (Including the deposit source information) is erased, the accepted electronic money card 5 is ejected, and the updated card balance (that is, 0 yen) and the electronic money balance are displayed on the display 27 (S396). On the other hand, when the settlement card 4 is received by the settlement card R / W 25, the accepted settlement card 4 is collected, and the accepted electronic money card 5 is discharged, and the updated card balance ( In other words, the electronic money balance is displayed on the display 27 (S397).

  When the designation of the return of the remaining amount in which the deposit source is the carrier is accepted in S382, the deposit amount from the carrier is specified as the return amount to the electronic money (S398), the process proceeds to S384, and the processes of S384 to S397 are performed. Is done. However, in S388, the return amount is converted into the value of the electronic money value, and added and updated with respect to the electronic money balance of the carrier designated by D334 in FIG.

  Thus, when the unit balance or card balance converted from the electronic money balance is converted back to the electronic money value, the original electronic money balance used for the conversion to the game value is converted. Since the converted electronic money value is added and updated, it can be prevented from being used to transfer the electronic money value to a carrier different from the carrier corresponding to the original electronic money balance. . That is, once the balance of electronic money is converted to the value of gaming value, a fee paid by the game hall 7 to the card company 8 is generated, but it is possible to prevent the transfer from being performed unnecessarily. Thus, it is possible to prevent the payment of an unnecessary fee in the game hall 7.

  Next, FIGS. 38 to 40 are flowcharts showing an example of member processing in the ball lending unit 20 according to the second embodiment. First, in FIG. 38, the ball lending unit 20 performs the processing of S301 'to S311' instead of the processing of S301 to S307. Specifically, when the membership card 6 is received by the electronic money card / member card R / W 26 (S301 ′), the card remaining amount matching process is performed in S302 ′ to S304 ′, and the electronic money is performed in S305 ′ to S308 ′. The remaining amount checking process is performed, and the remaining card amount of the game hall 7 recorded on the received membership card 6 and the electronic money balance of each carrier are displayed on the display 27 (S309 ′), and D301 ′ of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the designation of the carrier for returning the fractional amount is accepted, and it is determined whether or not the remaining card amount of the game hall 7 is zero (S311 ′).

  If it is determined in S311 'that the remaining card amount is not zero, a ball lending state is set (S346'), and the processes of S325 to S330 'described later are performed. On the other hand, if it is determined in S311 'that the remaining card amount is zero, it waits for the receipt of money, the electronic money deposit operation, or the end operation (S312'). When money is accepted in S312 ', the process proceeds to S312. If the electronic money deposit operation is accepted in S312 ', the process proceeds to S351 described later. If an end operation is accepted in S312 ', the process proceeds to S371' described later. Further, in the ball lending unit 20, instead of the processes of S330 to S331, the process of S330 'for determining whether or not the remaining card amount after the subtraction update is zero is performed. If it is determined in S330 'that the remaining card amount is not zero, the process returns to S323. On the other hand, if it is determined in S330 'that the remaining card amount is zero, the process returns to S312'.

  Next, the process of FIG. 39 is the same as the process of FIG. Next, in FIG. 40, in the ball lending unit 20, instead of the process of S371, the process of S371 'is performed to wait for the membership card discharge operation or the electronic money return operation when the end operation is accepted. In the ball lending unit 20, the processes of S372 'to S373' are performed instead of the processes of S372 to S374. Specifically, when a member card discharge operation is accepted in the state of S371 ′ (S372 ′), the member card 6 accepted by the electronic money card / member card R / W 26 is discharged, and the member card to be discharged is discharged. 6 displays the remaining card amount and the remaining electronic money amount on the display 27 (S373 ′). In place of the process of S387, the process of S387 'is performed in which the return amount is subtracted and updated from the remaining card amount. Further, instead of the processing of S393 to S397, the membership card 6 accepted by the electronic money card / member card R / W 26 is discharged, and the updated card balance and electronic money balance are displayed on the display 27, S295 Processing of 'is performed.

  Next, FIGS. 41 to 42 are flowcharts showing an example of visitor processing in the deposit settlement apparatus 30 according to the second embodiment. The deposit settlement apparatus 30 receives the settlement card 4 by the settlement card R / W 35 and receives the electronic money card 5 by the electronic money card / member card R / W 36 (S401). In step S405 to step S408, the electronic money balance check process is performed, and the remaining card amount recorded on the accepted payment card 4 and the electronic money of each carrier recorded on the accepted electronic money card 5 are processed. The remaining amount is displayed on the display 37 (S409), and the selection of the deposit mode or the payment mode is awaited (S410).

  When the deposit mode selection is accepted in S410 (S411), the designation of the carrier for returning the fractional amount is accepted as shown in D402 of FIG. 31 (S412), and the receipt of money or the electronic money depositing operation is waited ( S413).

  Upon receipt of money by the money accepting means (S421), the deposit settlement apparatus 30 specifies a fractional amount based on the accepted amount (S422), and performs an accepted amount addition process excluding the fractional amount in S423 to S426. Then, in association with the deposit ID received in S426, the received amount-fractional amount is recorded in the accepted settlement card 4 as a remaining card amount, and “cash” is stored as the deposit source (S427), The amount is converted into the value of the electronic money value and added to the electronic money balance of the carrier designated in D402 of FIG. 31 (S428), and the electronic money balance addition process is performed in S429 to S432, The accepted settlement card 4 and electronic money card 5 are discharged, and the updated card balance and electronic money balance are displayed on the display 37 ( 433).

  The deposit settlement apparatus 30 accepts an electronic money deposit operation (S441), accepts designation of a carrier used for deposit as shown in D405 of FIG. 31, and selects a deposit amount as shown in D406 of FIG. Is received (S442), the fractional amount is specified based on the deposit amount (S443), and the deposit amount addition processing excluding the fractional amount is performed in S444 to S447, and associated with the deposit ID received in S447. , The deposit amount minus the fractional amount is recorded on the accepted settlement card 4 as the remaining card amount, and the designated carrier is recorded as a deposit source (S448), and the electron of the carrier designated in D402 of FIG. 31 is recorded. An amount excluding the fractional amount is subtracted from the deposit amount from the balance of money (S449), and the electronic money management is performed in S450 to S453.

Since it is possible to deposit with the electronic money balance of the desired carrier, the convenience of the player is improved.

  When the selection of the payment mode is accepted in S410 (S461), it waits for a money return operation or an electronic money return operation (S462).

  Upon receipt of the money return operation (S471), the deposit settlement apparatus 30 accepts the selection of the deposit amount as indicated by D412 in FIG. 32 (S472). If the entire amount of the remaining card amount is designated as the return amount in S472, the card remaining amount return subtraction process is performed in S473 to S475, and the return amount is subtracted from the remaining card amount and updated. The money to be paid is paid out and returned, the accepted settlement card 4 is collected, the accepted electronic money card 5 is ejected, and the updated card balance (ie, zero) is displayed on the display 37 (S476). . On the other hand, if a part of the remaining card amount is designated as the return amount in S472, the process proceeds to S484 described later.

  Upon receipt of the electronic money return operation (S481), the deposit settlement apparatus 30 displays the breakdown of the deposit source as shown in D414 of FIG. 32 and waits for the designation of the deposit source of the remaining amount to be returned (S482). .

  In S482, when the designation of returning the remaining amount in which the deposit source is cash is accepted, and the designation of the carrier for returning the remaining amount is accepted as shown in D415 of FIG. 32, the deposit amount from the cash is returned to the electronic money. (S483), the card remaining amount return subtraction process is performed in S484 to S486, the return amount is subtracted from the card remaining amount and updated (S487), and the return amount is converted into an electronic monetary value. The addition of the electronic money balance of the carrier designated in D415 of FIG. 32 is updated (S488), and the electronic money balance addition processing is performed in S489 to S492.

  In this way, the player can add a plurality of carriers by updating the amount of the converted electronic money value to the electronic money balance specified from the electronic money value specifying information of the carrier designated by the player. Even if it is contracted with the player, since the fractional amount can be returned for the electronic money balance of the desired carrier, the convenience of the player is improved.

  The payment settlement apparatus 30 that has received the update completion determines whether or not the remaining card amount after the subtraction update is zero (S493). If it is determined in S493 that the remaining card amount is not zero, the accepted payment card 4 and electronic money card 5 are discharged, and the updated card balance and electronic money balance are displayed on the display 37 (S494). .

The fractional amount may be specified from the total remaining amount. Specifically, when the received amount is 1,000 yen and the remaining amount is 1050 yen, the fractional amount is 55 yen from the combined residual amount of 2050 yen. Identified. In addition, once the received amount is added and updated to the remaining amount, the fractional amount is subtracted and updated from the remaining amount after the addition and renewal (the above-mentioned combined remaining amount), and the subtracted and updated fractional amount is converted into the value of electronic money value. Also good. That is, the fractional amount specifying processing unit may be any unit that performs processing for specifying the fractional amount from the amount of money received by the currency receiving unit.

  In the second embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 35, after the addition update (S317) for the amount of game value of the amount excluding the fractional amount from the accepted amount is performed, the converted fractional amount of electronic Although the example in which the addition update (S318) for the magnitude of the monetary value is performed has been described, the order of both is not particularly limited, and both may be performed in parallel.

  In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 45 (a), conversion to the value of gaming value or the value of fractional electronic money value (hereinafter simply referred to as “conversion”) and the conversion are performed. An addition update (hereinafter simply referred to as “additional update”) for the magnitude of the electronic money value specified from the electronic money value specifying information of the magnitude of the electronic money value is performed both in the ball lending unit 20 and the deposit settlement apparatus 30. However, the conversion and the addition update may be performed as in the modification shown in FIGS. 45 (b) to 45 (d).

And is added and updated in the electronic money management server 9a. Therefore, in this example, the process of transmitting the electronic money ID and the converted electronic money value to the electronic money management server 9a corresponds to the electronic money value addition update process.

  In the modification shown in FIG. 45 (c), a card (accounting card 4 or membership card 6) is received by the ball lending unit 20 or the deposit settlement apparatus 30, and the deposit ID and the card remaining amount recorded on the card are used as a system. The data is transmitted to the controller 50 and converted after the remaining amount is collated in the system controller 50. Therefore, in this example, the process of transmitting the deposit ID and the remaining card amount to the system controller 50 corresponds to the electronic money value conversion process.

  In the modification shown in FIG. 45 (d), the card (accounting card 4 or membership card 6) is received by the ball lending unit 20 or the deposit settlement apparatus 30, and the deposit ID and the remaining card amount recorded on the card are used as the system. It is transmitted to the controller 50, and after the remaining amount is collated in the system controller 50, the conversion is performed, and the converted electronic money value is transmitted to the deposit settlement apparatus 30, and the electronic money ID and the electronic money ID The converted value of the electronic money value is transmitted to the electronic money management server 9a, and addition updating is performed in the electronic money management server 9a. Therefore, in this example, the process of transmitting the deposit ID and the remaining card amount to the system controller 50 corresponds to the electronic money value conversion process, and the electronic money ID and the size of the converted electronic money value are managed by electronic money management. The process transmitted to the server 9a corresponds to the electronic money value addition update process.

  That is, the electronic monetary value conversion processing means performs electronic monetary value conversion processing for converting the value of game value or the fractional amount into the value of electronic monetary value according to the location where the actual conversion is performed. In addition, the electronic money value addition update processing means also determines the magnitude of the converted electronic money value from the electronic money value specifying information according to the location where the actual addition update is performed. The electronic money value addition update process is performed to add and update the value.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the game value converted from the electronic money balance is returned to the electronic money balance has been described. You may make it return with respect to the electronic money balance of the designated carrier.

  In the second embodiment, for example, after S334 of FIG. 27, S334 ′ of FIG. 30, D415 of FIG. 32, and D415 of FIG. Accepts the designation or selection of the return amount that is a multiple of the sum of the indirect tax corresponding to the magnitude of the value (105 yen in this case), and the designated or selected return amount is returned to the electronic money balance You may do it.

  In the second embodiment, when the deposit is made using the balance of electronic money, the sum of the unit use value and the indirect tax corresponding to the unit use value is selected when the deposit amount is selected. In the above example, the fractional amount less than the total amount generated when the deposit amount is subtracted from the deposit amount is described. However, when the deposit amount (for example, 1000 yen) is selected, the indirect amount corresponding to the deposit amount is selected. The tax (here, 50 yen) may be specified, and the deposit amount + indirect tax (that is, 1050 yen) may be subtracted from the electronic money balance and added and updated for the magnitude of the game value.
