When communication becomes possible, the apparatus further comprises update means for updating the value information stored in the main storage means based on the value information stored in the sub storage means. To do.
Further, the present invention is characterized in that, in the above-mentioned invention, the other management device further comprises a payment means for paying at least the valuable value associated with the identifier of the recording medium into money.

本発明によれば、遊技に関わる有価価値情報を書込みが不能に設定された記録媒体の識別子に関連付けて管理する管理装置と遊技媒体貸出処理を行う遊技台に対応して設けられる各台装置とを有する遊技システムであって、記録媒体の識別子を各台装置が取得し、取得された記録媒体の識別子へ関連付けて遊技媒体数および／または有価価値を有価価値情報として記憶させるよう各台装置が指示し、各台装置と通信する第一の管理装置は、有価価値情報の記憶指示を受け付けた場合に、有価価値情報を記憶する第一の管理装置へ記憶させ、有価価値情報を同期させるよう第一の管理装置と通信する他の管理装置へ指示し、他の管理装置は、有価価値情報の同期指示を受け付けた場合に、有価価値情報を記憶することとしたので、携帯端末の識別子に関連付けて持玉数やプリペイド価値等の有価価値を管理する管理装置と各台装置とがオフラインになった場合であっても、他の管理装置から有価価値情報を取得することができるという効果を奏する。 According to the present invention, the management device that manages the valuable information related to the game in association with the identifier of the recording medium that is set to be unwritable, and the respective device provided corresponding to the gaming machine that performs the gaming medium lending process, a game system having an identifier of the record medium acquired by the individual car unit, each base unit so as to be stored as the value information of the game medium number and / or valuable resource in association to the identifier of the obtained recording medium The first management device instructing and communicating with each stand device stores the valuable information in the first management device that stores the valuable information when the storage instruction for the valuable information is received, and synchronizes the valuable information. When the other management device receives an instruction to synchronize the valuable value information, the other management device stores the valuable value information when receiving an instruction to synchronize the valuable value information. Even when the management device that manages the value of the number of balls and prepaid value associated with the child and each device is offline, it is possible to acquire valuable value information from other management devices There is an effect.

また、本発明によれば、各台装置と第一の管理装置とが通信不可であり、かつ、有価価値情報の書き込みが不能に設定された記録媒体の識別子を取得した場合、取得した識別子に関連付けられて記憶されている有価価値情報の一部または全部を有価価値情報の書き込みが可能に設定された記録媒体へ他の管理装置が移行することとしたので、携帯端末の識別子に関連付けて持玉数やプリペイド価値等の有価価値を管理する装置と各台装置とがオフラインになった場合であっても、遊技客がかかる有価価値を利用して遊技することができるとともに携帯端末の利用を促進することができるという効果を奏する。 Further, according to the present invention, when an identifier of a recording medium in which each device and the first management device are incapable of communication and set to disable writing of valuable information is acquired, the acquired identifier is Since the other management device has transferred a part or all of the associated valuable information stored in the recording medium to which the valuable information can be written , it is associated with the identifier of the portable terminal. Even if the device that manages the valuable value such as the number of balls and the prepaid value and each device is offline, the player can play using the valuable value and use the portable terminal. There is an effect that it can be promoted.

また、本発明によれば、通信不可であった各台装置と通信可能となった、および／または、通信不可であった他の管理装置と通信可能となったならば、他の管理装置に記憶されている有価価値情報に基づいて第一の管理装置に記憶されている有価価値情報を第一の管理装置が更新することとしたので、オフラインから復旧した際に、カード等へ移行された有価価値情報と他の有価価値情報との同期を取ることができるという効果を奏する。
また、本発明は、記録媒体の識別子に関連付けられた有価価値を貨幣に精算する精算手段を備えた装置を他の管理装置として用いることにより、第一の管理装置と各台装置とがオフラインになった場合には、精算手段を備えた装置から有価価値情報を取得することができるという効果を奏する。 In addition, according to the present invention, if communication with each stand device that has been disabled is possible and / or communication with another management device that has been disabled is possible, Since the first management device updates the valuable information stored in the first management device based on the stored valuable information, it was transferred to a card, etc. when recovered from offline There is an effect that the valuable value information can be synchronized with other valuable value information.
In addition, the present invention uses a device that includes a settlement unit that settles the valuable value associated with the identifier of the recording medium as money, so that the first management device and each device can be taken offline. In this case, there is an effect that valuable value information can be acquired from an apparatus provided with a settlement means.
