  Further, the MPU 523 of the settlement apparatus 20 of the present embodiment transmits a settlement permission request including the card ID read from the accepted prepaid card and the game balance data to the system controller 110, and the card ID included in the settlement permission request. On the condition that the game balance stored and managed in the system controller 110 in correspondence with the game balance matches the game balance specified from the game balance data read from the prepaid card included in the payment authorization request. Based on the receipt of the settlement authorization transmitted from the system controller 110, the settlement amount, which is the game balance specified from the game balance data read from the accepted prepaid card, is returned in cash and accepted. Remaining game data stored in the prepaid card (Specifically the balance gaming 0) corresponding balance for a game of balance for a game is subtracted updated amount to implement the settlement process of updating stored in. In this embodiment, the entire amount of the remaining amount for gaming is settled, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the amount to be settled within the range of the remaining amount for gaming is received from the player. A part of the remaining amount for gaming may be settled.

  Hereinafter, in the card unit 3 of the present embodiment, the flow of using the remaining amount for gaming stored in the prepaid card and the amount of electronic money stored in the mobile phone 5 having the wallet function for lending pachinko balls is described below. Explained.

  First, FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of normal processing performed by the control unit 328 mounted on the card unit 3 of the first embodiment. The control unit 328 is activated when the power to the card unit 3 is turned on. As a result, the activation process of Sb1 is performed to confirm the connection status of each unit, the connection confirmation with the system controller 110, and initial values and the like are set in the setting data.

  Then, by carrying out the processing of Sb2 to Sb7 after the execution of the activation process, the card acceptance which is the card insertion into the card insertion slot 309, the operation of the lending button by the player, the bill insertion slot 302 or the coin insertion slot A standby state is detected in which cash acceptance by insertion of cash from 303, operation of a return button by the player, and acceptance of the mobile phone 5 are detected.

  In the standby state, when a player inserts a prepaid card issued by, for example, another card unit 3 or a card issuing machine (not shown) into the card insertion slot 309, insertion detection information accompanying the insertion of the prepaid card Is output from the internal card reader / writer 327 to the control unit 328, the control unit 328 determines in Sb2 that a card has been received, and proceeds to Sb8 to execute the card receiving process of FIG.

  In the card acceptance process in Sb8, as shown in FIG. 11, it is first determined whether or not there is a prepaid card that is already accepted by the internal card reader / writer 327 (Sc1), and there is a prepaid card that is being accepted. If so, the process proceeds to step Sc6 to output a discharge instruction to the internal card reader / writer 327, thereby returning the prepaid card inserted into the card insertion slot 309 and ending the card receiving process. If the prepaid card is not present, the process proceeds to step Sc2, where an instruction to take in the prepaid card inserted into the card insertion slot 309 is output to the internal card reader / writer 327, and the inserted prepaid card is output to the internal card. The prepaid card is loaded into the card slot of the reader / writer 327. The stored data stored in the card, specifically, the card ID for individually identifying the prepaid card and the game balance data, etc. are read, and an authentication request including the read card ID and game balance data is issued. A card authentication process is performed to transmit to the system controller 110 and receive the authentication result from the system controller 110 (Sc3).

  In response to the reception of the authentication request, the system controller 110 includes the game balance stored and managed in the system controller 110 in association with the card ID included in the received authentication request. "Recognition OK" is returned as an authentication result on the condition that it matches the game balance specified by the game balance data read from the received prepaid card, and the game balance matches. If not, “authentication NG” is returned.

  If the authentication result returned in this way is “authentication NG”, the process proceeds from step Sc4 to step Sc6, and the accepted prepaid card ejection instruction is output to the internal card reader / writer 327 and inserted. If the prepaid card is returned and the authentication result returned is “authentication OK”, the process proceeds to steps Sc4 to Sc5, and the game balance determined from the game balance data read from the accepted prepaid card Is displayed on the remaining amount indicator, the card receiving process is terminated, and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7.

  In other words, in the card acceptance process, the card ID of the prepaid card accepted by the system controller 110 is registered, and the game remaining amount stored and managed in the system controller 110 in association with the card ID, and the RAM 328b Only the prepaid card that matches the game balance data stored in the game, that is, the game balance specified from the game balance data stored in the accepted prepaid card can be used.

  In the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7, when the player operates the lending button, a signal from the lending button switch for detecting the lending button operation by the player is output to the control unit 328. Thus, the control unit 328 determines that there is an operation of the lending button in the step of Sb3, proceeds to the step of Sb9, and performs the first lending process of FIG.

  In this first lending process, as shown in FIG. 12, first, it is read from the inserted prepaid card and stored in the RAM 328b, or stored in the RAM 328b in the deposit process described later (displayed on the remaining amount display). ) Tax-included unit whose remaining amount for gaming is the total amount of 100 yen, which is the unit amount used in the first embodiment, and 5 yen (the tax rate is 5% in this embodiment) which is the consumption tax amount corresponding to the unit amount used It is determined whether or not the amount is less than 105 yen (Sd1). If the remaining amount for gaming is less than 105 yen, it is determined as “Yes” in the determination, and the first lending process is terminated. While returning to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7, if the remaining amount for gaming is 105 yen or more, the process proceeds to step Sd2, and the remaining amount for gaming is set as the first usage amount of the first lending process in the first embodiment. Is 500 yen and the 25 yen consumption tax corresponding to said use amount determines whether or not (rate 5%) and total first tax included such amounts become 525 or more is of. In the following description, the game balance displayed on the balance display means the game balance specified from the game balance data stored in the RAM 328b.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the consumption tax rate is set to 5% by being described in the control program stored in the ROM 328c. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The consumption tax rate is changed by the system controller 110, the changed consumption tax rate is transmitted as setting data to each card unit 3, and the consumption tax rate set for each card unit 3 can be changed by the system controller 110. Alternatively, it is changed by the management server 14 which is a centralized management apparatus installed in the card management company, and the changed consumption tax rate is transmitted as setting data to each card unit 3 through the system controller 110 of each game hall. Thus, the consumption tax rate set for each card unit 3 may be changed by the management server 14. , From the card unit 3 to the system controller 110, contact each ball lending process pachinko balls, may acquire the consumption tax from the system controller 110.

  If the remaining amount for gaming is 525 yen or more, which is the first tax-included usage amount, proceed to the steps from Sd2 to Sd3 and carry out the usage amount ball lending process, while the first tax-included usage amount is less than 525 yen If there is, the process proceeds from step Sd2 to step Sd8, and display amount ball lending processing is performed.

  In the used amount ball lending process in the step of Sd3, a payout instruction for the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the first used amount of 500 yen, specifically, in this embodiment 1, the lending unit price of one pachinko ball is Since it is 4 yen, an instruction to pay out 125 balls corresponding to 500 yen is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to pay out the number of pachinko balls.

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of Sd4, and 525 yen which is a tax-included amount is subtracted and updated from the remaining amount for gaming displayed on the remaining amount indicator, and when the prepaid card being accepted is present when the RAM 328b and the prepaid card being accepted exist. After the game balance data stored in the card is updated to the game balance data that can specify the new game balance by subtracting and updating the first tax-included usage amount of 525 yen (Sd5), the system controller 110 On the other hand, a lending completion notice including the device ID uniquely given to the card unit 3, the card ID of the prepaid card being accepted (only when accepting the card), and the first tax-included usage amount is transmitted (Sd6 ), The game balance stored in the system controller 110 in association with the card ID, and the card unit 3 To update the game for the balance that was used Te.

  Specifically, the processing content of the game remaining amount update process executed by the system controller 110 in response to the reception of the lending completion notification is based on the game remaining amount stored in association with the received card ID. Subtract and update 525 yen, the first tax-included usage amount. In the present embodiment, since the first tax-included usage amount is included in the lending completion notification, the system controller 110 subtracts the first tax-included usage amount included in the lending completion notification directly from the remaining amount for gaming. Although the present invention is updated, the present invention is not limited to this, and for these lending completion notifications, for example, the amount of money used for ball lending is 500 yen, which is 100 yen, which is the amount of money used, once. Is sent to the system controller 110, and the system controller 110 that has received the loan completion notice receives 500 yen from the received 5 degree data, It is also possible to calculate 525 yen, which is the total amount of 25 yen, which is the consumption tax amount corresponding to 500 yen, which is used, and to update it by subtracting it from the remaining amount for gaming. There.

  Then, the process proceeds to step Sd7, and if a new game balance displayed on the balance display, that is, if a prepaid card is being received, whether or not the new game balance of the prepaid card being received is 0. If the game balance is not 0 (including the case where there is no prepaid card being accepted), the first lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7, while the game balance is If it is 0, the process proceeds to step Sd12, and the prepaid card with the game balance remaining at 0 is collected in the storage unit of the internal card reader / writer 327, and the first lending process is terminated. Thus, a prepaid card with a game balance of 0 is collected without causing a loss.

  On the other hand, in the display amount ball lending process in the step of Sd8, the consumption tax amount corresponding to the used unit amount of 100 yen is added to the used unit amount of 100 yen out of the remaining game amount displayed on the remaining amount display. The maximum amount that is an integer multiple of 105 yen, which is the total amount of 5 yen including tax, for example, if the remaining amount for gaming is 475 yen, it is the amount that is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is the unit price including tax Instruction for paying out the number of pachinko balls corresponding to 420 yen corresponding to the maximum amount of 4 times, specifically, in this embodiment, the lending unit price of one pachinko ball is 4 yen, so consumption from 420 yen A payout instruction for 100 balls corresponding to 400 yen, which is a tax-free amount excluding the tax amount of 20 yen, is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to pay out the number of pachinko balls.

  Then, the process proceeds to step Sd9, and 420 yen, which is the amount including tax used for pachinko ball lending, is subtracted from the game balance displayed on the balance display, and the RAM 328b and the prepaid card being received are also updated. After the game remaining amount data stored in the prepaid card being accepted is updated to the game remaining amount data that can specify the new game remaining amount by subtracting and updating the tax-included amount of 420 yen ( Sd10) Sends a loan completion notification including the device ID uniquely assigned to the card unit 3, the card ID of the prepaid card being accepted, and 420 yen, which includes the tax, to the system controller 110. (Sd11), the remaining amount for gaming stored in the system controller 110 in association with the card ID Updates the gaming balance that was used in the card unit 3.

  Then, the process proceeds to step Sd7 to determine whether or not the new game balance displayed on the balance display, that is, if the prepaid card is being received, the new game balance on the prepaid card is 0. When the game balance is not 0 (including the case where there is no prepaid card being accepted), the first lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7, while the game balance is 0. In step Sd12, the prepaid card with the game balance remaining at 0 is collected in the storage unit of the internal card reader / writer 327 and the first lending process is terminated, so that no fraction is generated. A prepaid card with a game balance of 0 is collected.

  As described above, by repeatedly performing the first lending process, the remaining amount for gaming displayed on the remaining amount display device finally becomes an amount less than 105 yen, which is a unit amount including tax. (See Figure 17)

  In other words, in the first lending process of the first embodiment, at least a part of the game balance specified from the prepaid card serving as a recording medium or the record information (game balance data) in the RAM 328b becomes a corresponding gaming machine. The first tax-included usage amount that is a total amount of 500 yen that is the first usage amount used for the game and 25 yen that is the consumption tax amount corresponding to the first usage amount while being used for the game in the pachinko machine 2 525 yen is updated by subtracting from the remaining amount for gaming, and the first lending process corresponds to the first use process according to claim 1 of the present invention, and the control unit 328 performs the first lending process. The first use processing means in the present invention is formed.

  Further, when the player inserts cash from the bill insertion slot 302 or the coin insertion slot 303 in the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7 described above, the currency identification information associated with the insertion of the cash is the banknote identification unit 321 or the coin identification. By outputting from the unit 322 to the control unit 328, the control unit 328 determines that there is acceptance of cash in the step of Sb4, proceeds to the step of Sb10, and performs the deposit process of FIG.

  In this deposit process, as shown in FIG. 13, first, the amount of money inserted is specified from the input money identification information. In addition, if the specified input amount is an amount of coins, specifically, an amount of less than 1000 yen due to the insertion of 500 yen coins or 100 yen coins, it is possible that additional coins will be additionally inserted. Until a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds elapses after the input of the identification information, it enters a state of waiting for further input of the currency identification information. When a plurality of currency identification information is input, the identification amount specified from each currency identification information The total amount is specified as the input amount (Sg1).

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of Sg2, and it is determined whether or not there is a prepaid card that is being accepted by the internal card reader / writer 327. If there is no prepaid card that is being accepted, the process proceeds to the step of Sg3. After adding and updating the inserted amount specified in the step to the remaining amount for gaming (including 0 yen) stored in the RAM 328b, the added and updated amount (same as the inserted amount) and the device ID of the card unit 3 are updated. Is sent to the system controller 110 to update the deposit amount received by the card unit 3 managed by the system controller 110 and proceed to the step of Sg5, while the prepaid card being accepted Is present, the process proceeds to the step of Sg6 and the input specified in the step of Sg1 Is added to the game balance specified from the game balance data stored in the prepaid card that is being received, and the game balance data that can specify the new game balance after adding the game balance data To the system controller 110, a card deposit notification including the deposit amount (same as the deposit amount), the device ID of the card unit 3, and the card ID of the prepaid card being accepted is transmitted to the system controller. The remaining amount for gaming of the prepaid card managed at 110 is updated, and the amount of money deposited by the card unit 3 is updated, and the process proceeds to step Sg5.

  As the processing content of the game remaining amount update process executed by the system controller 110 in response to the receipt of the card payment notification, specifically, the game remaining amount stored in association with the received card ID is used. Update the deposit amount.

  In the step of Sg5, the game remaining amount displayed on the remaining amount indicator is updated and displayed in the RAM 328b or the new game remaining after the addition update stored in the prepaid card being received, and the deposit processing To return to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7.

  In this embodiment, the deposit process can be carried out without depending on the game balance before the addition update. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these deposit processes are added. Only when the remaining amount for gaming before renewal becomes a predetermined amount, for example, 1000 yen or less, it can be implemented, and the remaining amount for gaming becomes unnecessarily large, so that the prepaid card of the large remaining amount for gaming is lost. It may be possible to prevent the disadvantages of the player such as the above, and excessive infiltration into the game.

  In addition, when the player operates the return button in the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7 described above, a signal from the return tan switch for detecting the operation of the return button by the player is output to the control unit 328. As a result, the control unit 328 determines that the return button is operated in Sb5, proceeds to Sb11, and performs the return / issue process of FIG.

  In this return / issuance process, as shown in FIG. 14, first, it is determined whether or not there is a prepaid card being received by the internal card reader / writer 327 (Sf1). By outputting to the internal card reader / writer 327, the prepaid card being received by the internal card reader / writer 327 is discharged and returned (Sf6), and the card ID of the returned prepaid card and the device of the card unit 3 are returned. A return notification including the ID is transmitted to the system controller 110 to notify the system controller 110 that the prepaid card specified from the card ID has been returned.

  On the other hand, if there is no prepaid card being accepted by the internal card reader / writer 327, the process proceeds from step Sf1 to step Sf2, and whether or not there is a game balance specified from the game balance data stored in the RAM 328b. If the game balance does not exist, that is, if the game balance is 0 yen, the return / issue process is terminated, while the game balance exists, that is, it is not 0 yen. In step Sf3, the prepaid card stored in the storage unit of the internal card reader / writer 327 is moved to the reading position of the card slot of the internal card reader / writer 327, and the prepaid card used for the issuance is moved. The stored data, specifically the card ID, is read and the remaining game data stored in the RAM 328b After writing to the prepaid card and updating the game balance data, the prepaid card is ejected from the card insertion slot 309, and the prepaid card storing the game balance data stored in the RAM 328b is sent to the player. (Sf4). In the step of Sf3, if there is no prepaid card stored in the storage unit, an error is displayed on the display unit 312, the prepaid card is inserted, and the card for issuing is issued from the card insertion slot 309. Is inserted, the inserted prepaid card is used for issuing.

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of Sf5, the remaining game data stored in the RAM 328b is updated to “0”, the device ID of the card unit 3, the card ID read from the prepaid card issued in the step of Sf3, and The issuance notification including the game balance data written and stored in the prepaid card is transmitted to the system controller 110 so that the system controller 110 manages the card ID of the issued prepaid card and the game balance. By doing so, the player can use the remaining amount for gaming stored in the issued prepaid card in the other card unit 3 and the settlement apparatus 20.

  In the present embodiment, in the first use process described above, the game balance data stored in the prepaid card is sequentially updated each time the game balance is used for ball rental, so that the game balance can be obtained at the time of return operation. Although the prepaid card is returned without updating the data, the present invention is not limited to this, and the game balance data of the prepaid card is used each time these game balances are used for ball rental. Only the game balance data in the RAM 328b may be updated without updating, and at the time of return, the game balance data in the RAM 328b at that time may be updated and stored as the game balance data of the prepaid card and returned.

  Next, the processing after Sb6 will be described together with the electronic money use processing performed on the mobile phone 5 side shown in FIG. Specifically, when the player brings the mobile phone 5 close to the electronic money communication unit 332 (external card reader / writer 330) of the card unit 3, the non-contact IC chip 100 of the mobile phone 5 is transmitted at Sb6. The polling is received (S1 in FIG. 9), and the electronic money use processing shown in FIG. 9 is performed by the digital control unit 103 of the non-contact IC chip 100.

  Further, in the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7 described above, in response to polling transmission of Sb6, each electronic money company's transmitted in S2 of the electronic money usage process shown in FIG. When the external card reader / writer 330 receives the specific transaction request including the electronic money amount, the received specific transaction request is output from the external card reader / writer 330 to the control unit 328, so that the control unit 328 has Sb7 In step Sb12, it is determined that the specific transaction request has been received, and the process proceeds to step Sb12. Each electronic money amount (including the company ID of the electronic money company) included in the received specific transaction request is temporarily stored, Proceed to step and the remaining amount for gaming exists in the prepaid card being accepted or RAM If the game balance does not exist, the process proceeds to step Sb14, and the second lending process shown in FIG. 15 is performed. If the game balance exists, the process proceeds to step Sb15. Then, the third lending process shown in FIG. 16 is performed.

  In this second lending process, as shown in FIG. 15, the total remaining amount of each electronic money company temporarily stored in step Sb12, that is, the mobile phone 5 of the first embodiment, is stored in the memory 104. It is determined whether the total remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount is less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount (Sh1). Advances to the step of Sh6, and transmits (returns) a remaining amount error to the non-contact IC chip 100 of the cellular phone 5 being accepted.

  The remaining amount error transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S16 of the electronic money use process shown in FIG. 9 performed by the non-contact IC chip 100 and proceeds to S15, whereby error information is sent to the control unit 55. By transmitting (lack of remaining amount), the JG application is automatically activated and a message indicating that the remaining amount of electronic money is insufficient is displayed on the display unit 56 for a predetermined time, and the electronic money amount is charged. A charging screen (not shown) to be performed is displayed on the display unit 56 to prompt the player to charge the electronic money amount.

  On the other hand, if the total remaining amount is not less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds to the step of Sh2, and the total remaining amount is 1000 yen set as the second usage amount of the second lending process and the second usage It is determined whether or not the consumption tax amount corresponding to the amount is 50 yen (tax rate 5%) and the second tax-included usage amount is 1050 yen or more.

  In this determination, if the total remaining amount is 1050 yen or more, which is the second tax-included usage amount, the process proceeds to step Sh3, and includes the second tax-included usage amount, 1050 yen, and the device ID of the card unit 3. The specific transaction information is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip 100 of the mobile phone 5 that is receiving the specific transaction information.

  The specific transaction information transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S3 of the electronic money use process shown in FIG. 9 performed by the non-contact IC chip 100, and proceeds to S4. The included second tax-included usage amount of 1050 yen is subtracted and updated from the electronic money amount.

  Specifically, the JG electronic money amount specified from the balance data stored in the JG electronic money storage area 104b is preferentially used, and the JG electronic money amount is 1050 yen or more, which is the second tax-included usage amount. In this case, the second tax-included usage amount of 1050 yen is subtracted from the JG electronic money amount, and the balance data is updated to the balance data that can specify the new JG electronic money amount after the subtraction. If the electronic money amount does not exist above the second tax-included usage amount of 1050 yen, the entire amount of the JG electronic money amount is subtracted and the balance data is updated to the balance data indicating “0”. The shortage amount obtained by subtracting the JG electronic money amount from 1050 yen including tax is subtracted from the A company electronic money amount specified from the balance data stored in the storage area 104a of the A company. Te, the balance data is updated a new A's electronic money amount after the subtraction to identifiable balance data.

  Then, by proceeding to step S5, the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) transmits the subtraction update completion notification, and then proceeds to S6, where the device ID and the amount included in the received specific transaction information are displayed. Are stored as usage history data in the storage area 104b of JG electronic money.

  Then, the process proceeds to S7, a request for starting the JG application is transmitted to the control unit 55, and then the process proceeds to S8 to shift to a state of waiting for access to the use history of the storage area 104b of JG electronic money.

  In response to the reception of the JG application activation request transmitted in S7, the control unit 55 reads and activates the JG application stored in the EEPROM of the memory unit 60, and based on the activated JG application, JG electronic money The access history of the storage area 104b is accessed. Specifically, when accessing the usage history, the control unit 55 outputs a usage history access request including the application ID of the JG application to the digital control unit 103 of the non-contact IC chip 100, so that the digital control unit 103 By detecting the access of the usage history in S8 and proceeding to S9, by confirming that the output application ID is stored in the access right data of the storage area 104b of JG electronic money, Allows access (reading) to usage history data. When the application ID is not stored in the access right data, access (reading) to the usage history data is not permitted.

  Then, after permitting access (reading) to the usage history data, the digital control unit 103 proceeds to S10 and shifts from the control unit 55 to an output waiting state for a usage history deletion request. Note that the deletion request is output by the control unit 55 by storing the access history for which access is permitted in the usage history table of the memory unit 60, so that the control unit can promptly access the usage history for which access has been permitted. 55 is output. Then, the process proceeds to S11 based on the output of the deletion request from the control unit 55, deletes the accessed (read) usage history data, and returns to S1.

  In addition, the reception of the subtraction update completion notification transmitted in step S5 is detected in Sh4 of the second lending process, proceeds to step Sh5, and corresponds to 1050 yen that is the second tax-included usage amount transmitted as the specific transaction information. The number of pachinko balls to be output, that is, 250 payout instructions, which is the number of balls obtained by dividing 1000 yen set as the second usage amount by 4 yen, is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 and the number of pachinko balls Is executed, and the process proceeds to step Sh6, which includes the device ID uniquely assigned to the card unit 3, the second tax-included usage amount, and the company ID of the used electronic money amount A lending completion notification is sent to the system controller 110 to update the amount used in the card unit 3, and then the second lending process is terminated and Sb2-Sb Back to the standby state.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in Sh2 that the total remaining amount is not 1050 yen or more, which is a tax-included usage amount, the process proceeds to step Sh7, and the maximum amount of the total remaining amount is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount. For example, if the total remaining amount is 700 yen, specify 630 yen corresponding to 6 times that is the largest amount with an integral multiple of 105 yen that is a tax-included unit amount, and the specified amount is 630 yen The specific transaction information including the device ID of the card unit 3 is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip 100 of the mobile phone 5 that is receiving (Sh8).

  The specific transaction information transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S3 of the electronic money use process shown in FIG. 9 and proceeds to S4, so that the amount of 630 yen included in the received specific transaction information is The electronic money is subtracted and updated. Specifically, the entire amount of JG electronic money is subtracted, and the balance data is updated to balance data indicating “0”, and the amount of JG electronic money from 630 yen that is included in the received specific transaction information. Is subtracted from the A-company electronic money amount specified from the balance data stored in the storage area 104a of the A company, and the balance data specifies a new A-company electronic money amount after the subtraction. Updated to possible balance data.

  Then, by proceeding to step S5, the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) transmits the subtraction update completion notification, and then performs the above-described processing of S6 to S11.

  In this way, the reception of the subtraction update completion notification transmitted in S5 is detected in Sh4 of the second lending process, proceeds to the step of Sh5, and the number of pachinko balls corresponding to 630 yen that is the amount transmitted as the specific transaction information That is, a payout instruction of 150 balls, which is the number of balls obtained by dividing 600 yen excluding the consumption tax amount of 30 yen by 4 yen, is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to pay out the number of pachinko balls. While executing the ball lending process, the process proceeds to the step of Sh6, the device ID uniquely given to the card unit 3, the amount specified at the step of Sh7 (630 yen), and the company ID of the amount of electronic money used Is transmitted, and the amount used in the card unit 3 is updated. Then, the second lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7.

  That is, in the second lending process of the first embodiment, the cellular phone 5 (electronic money recording medium) in which the JG electronic money amount as the electronic money amount and the remaining amount data as information for specifying the A company electronic money amount are recorded. ), And at least a part of the electronic money amount specified from the received record information of the mobile phone 5 is used for the game in the corresponding pachinko machine 2, that is, lends the ball and makes the game by lending the ball. Subtracts and updates 1050 yen, which is the total of the second usage amount of 1000 yen used and the consumption tax amount of 50 yen corresponding to the second usage amount, which is the second usage amount including tax, from the electronic money amount. The second lending process corresponds to the second use process in claim 1 of the present invention, and the control unit for performing the second lending process is executed. By Tsu DOO 328, second use processing means in the present invention are formed.

  Next, in the third lending process in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, the total remaining amount of each electronic money company temporarily stored in step Sb12, that is, the mobile phone 5 of the present embodiment, the memory 104. The total remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount stored in 104, and the remaining game amount displayed on the remaining amount indicator at that time, that is, the game remaining in the prepaid card being accepted It is determined whether or not the total amount of the remaining amount for game or the remaining amount for gaming remaining in the RAM 328b is less than 105 yen which is a unit amount including tax (Sj1), and the total amount is less than 105 yen which is a unit amount including tax If it is, the process proceeds to step Sj15, and the non-contact of the mobile phone 5 that is accepting the refund processing request including the game balance displayed on the balance display at that time Send (reply) to to the C-chip 100.

  The refund processing request transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S12 of the electronic money use processing shown in FIG. 9 performed by the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) and proceeds to S13. The amount included in the received refund processing request (the balance for game displayed on the balance display) is added to the amount of JG electronic money specified by the balance data in the storage area 104b of the electronic money, and the balance data is The new JG electronic money amount after the addition is updated to the balance data that can be specified.

  Then, the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) proceeds to step S14 and transmits an addition update completion notification, and then proceeds to S15 to transmit error information (insufficient balance) to the control unit 55. As a result, the JG application is automatically started and a message indicating that the remaining amount of electronic money is insufficient is displayed on the display unit 56 for a predetermined time, and a charging screen (not shown) for charging the electronic money amount is displayed. However, by displaying on the display unit 56, the player is prompted to charge the electronic money amount.

  Then, based on the fact that the reception of the addition update completion notification transmitted in the step of S14 is detected in the step of Sj16 of the third lending process, the process proceeds to the step of Sj17 and the remaining game amount remaining in the prepaid card Alternatively, the remaining amount for gaming remaining in the RAM 328b is updated by subtracting 0, and the amount displayed on the remaining amount display is updated by subtracting 0 (Sj18), and the device ID of the card unit 3 and the refunded amount Then, when there is a company ID of the JG electronic money amount to be refunded and a prepaid card being accepted, a refund completion notice including the card ID of the prepaid card is transmitted to the system controller 110 (Sj19) When the remaining amount for gaming stored in association with the card ID is updated in the system controller 110 Moni, after updating the amount of money refunded by the card unit 3, the process proceeds to step SJ13. If the addition update completion notification is not received within a predetermined time, although not shown, it is recognized as the occurrence of a communication error, and the occurrence of the error is displayed on the display unit 312 and notified.

  In this step of Sj13, it is determined whether or not there is a prepaid card that is being accepted. (Sj14), the third lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7.

  On the other hand, if the total amount is not less than 105 yen that is the tax-included unit amount, that is, if the total amount is 105 yen or more that is the tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds to step Sj2, and the temporarily stored JG electronic money amount is The total amount of the remaining amount for gaming (the remaining amount for gaming remaining in the prepaid card or RAM 328b) displayed on the remaining amount indicator at that time is set as the third usage amount of the third lending process. It is determined whether or not it is 1050 yen or more, which is the third tax-included use amount, which is the sum of 1000 yen and the consumption tax amount 50 yen (tax rate 5%) corresponding to the third use amount.

  In this determination, if the total amount is 1050 yen or more, which is the third tax-included usage amount, the process proceeds to step Sj8, and the remaining amount for gaming (remaining in the prepaid card or RAM 328b) from the third tax-included usage amount 1050 yen. The remaining amount for gaming) is subtracted to specify the amount of electronic money used, and the process proceeds to step Sj5.

  If the total amount of the JG electronic money amount and the remaining amount for gaming at that time is not 1050 yen or more, which is the third tax-included usage amount in the determination of Sj2, the process proceeds to the step of Sj3, and the total amount includes the tax-inclusive unit. It is determined whether or not the total amount is 105 yen or more, and if the total amount is 105 yen or more that includes the tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds to step Sj9, and within the range of the total amount, the tax-included unit If the amount is an integral multiple of 105 yen, the maximum amount, for example, if the JG electronic money amount is 700 yen, the remaining amount for gaming is 55 yen, and the total amount is 755 yen, then the maximum amount is 735 yen After specifying 680 yen as the amount of electronic money used by subtracting 55 yen, which is the remaining amount for gaming, from the specified 735 yen, the process proceeds to step Sj5.

  If the total amount of the JG electronic money amount and the remaining game amount at that time is not 105 yen or more, which is a tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds from step Sj3 to step Sj4, and the JG electronic money calculated in step Sj1. Within the range of the total amount of the total amount of the amount and the A company's electronic money amount and the remaining amount for gaming, an amount that is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, and the third tax-included amount of 1050 yen If the maximum amount, for example, the JG electronic money amount is 40 yen, the A company electronic money amount is 350 yen, and the game balance is 55 yen, it is the total amount of these. Within the range of 445 yen, specify the maximum amount of 420 yen, which is an integer multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, and subtract 55 yen, which is the remaining amount for gaming, from the specified 420 yen to obtain 365 yen as an electronic As the amount of money used After was boss, the process proceeds to step of Sj5.

The included electronic money usage amount is subtracted and updated from the electronic money amount.

  Specifically, in the case of the electronic money usage amount specified in Sj8 and Sj9, the electronic money usage amount is calculated from the JG electronic money amount specified from the balance data stored in the storage area 104b of JG electronic money. Subtracted and the balance data is updated to the balance data that can specify the new JG electronic money amount after the subtraction. In the case of the electronic money usage amount specified in Sj4, the entire amount of the JG electronic money amount is subtracted. Then, the balance data is updated to the balance data indicating “0”, and the shortage amount obtained by subtracting the JG electronic money amount from the amount of electronic money used is calculated from the balance data stored in the storage area 104a of the company A. Subtracted from the specified A company electronic money amount, the balance data is updated to the balance data that can specify the new A company electronic money amount after the subtraction.

  Then, by proceeding to step S5, the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) transmits the subtraction update completion notification, and then performs the above-described processing of S6 to S11.

  In this way, the reception of the subtraction update completion notification transmitted in step S5 is detected in Sj6 of the third lending process and proceeds to step Sj7, and the electronic money usage amount transmitted as specific transaction information, that is, Sj4 , The number of pachinko balls corresponding to the amount used as the calculation source of the electronic money usage specified in the steps Sj8, Sj9, that is, the pachinko equivalent to 1050 that is the third tax-included usage if the electronic money usage is Sj8 If the number of balls (250) and the amount of electronic money used in Sj9, the number of pachinko balls (175) corresponding to the amount of 735 yen specified in Sj9, the amount of electronic money used in Sj4, A payout instruction for the number of pachinko balls (100) corresponding to 420 yen, which is the amount specified in Sj4, is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to output the pachinko After executing the ball lending process for paying out the number of balls, the process proceeds to step Sj10, and the remaining amount for gaming remaining in the prepaid card or the remaining amount for gaming remaining in the RAM 328b is subtracted and updated to 0, and the remaining amount is displayed. The amount displayed on the container is subtracted and updated to 0 (Sj11), and the device ID of the card unit 3, the tax-included amount used for the ball rental processing of Sj7, and the company ID of the used electronic money amount are being accepted. If a prepaid card exists, a lending completion notification including the card ID of the prepaid card is transmitted to the system controller 110, and the remaining balance for gaming stored in the system controller 110 in association with the card ID And the amount used in the card unit 3 is updated, and then the process proceeds to step Sj13. If no subtraction update completion notification is received within a predetermined time, although not shown, it is recognized that a communication error has occurred, and the occurrence of the error is displayed on the display unit 312 and notified.

  In this step of Sj13, it is determined whether or not there is a prepaid card that is being accepted. (Sj14), the third lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7.

  That is, in the third lending process of the first embodiment, when the remaining amount for gaming remains, it is the third usage amount used for gaming based on accepting the mobile phone 5 as an electronic money recording medium. The electronic money usage amount is determined by subtracting the gaming balance from 1050 yen, which is the third tax-included usage amount, which is the total amount of 1000 yen and the consumption tax amount corresponding to the third usage amount of 50 yen, 3. Specify the amount of money used for the game in the corresponding pachinko machine 2 by lending and using it, subtracting and updating the remaining amount for gaming, and subtracting and updating the specified amount of electronic money used from the amount of electronic money The third lending process corresponds to the third usage process according to claim 1 of the present invention, and the control unit 328 that performs the third lending process performs the process including the transmission of transaction information.

After the player inserts a prepaid card of 1000 yen, the player operates the lending button to execute the first lending process described above, so that the first tax-included usage amount 525 set in the first lending process is set. After the yen is used for ball lending and the remaining balance for gaming reaches 475 yen, the mobile phone 5 in which 5000 yen remains as the JG electronic money amount is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 Is received by the card unit 3, and the third lending process described above is performed, and when the mobile phone 5 is received, the remaining amount for gaming is 475 yen, so that the third lending process 575 yen obtained by subtracting 475 yen, which is the remaining amount for gaming, from 1050 yen, which is the third usage fee including tax, is specified as the electronic money usage amount, and is the JG electronic money amount of the mobile phone 5 that is being accepted. Subtracted from a certain 5000 yen, the remaining amount of JG electronic money is updated to 4425 yen, and the remaining 475 yen for gaming is deducted and updated to 0, and 250 balls equivalent to 1050 yen are lent out. As a result, there is no remaining 55 yen game remaining as a fraction, so that these fractional amounts can be processed without paying the player in small changes. When the mobile phone 5 with the remaining JG electronic money amount of 4425 yen is again brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332, the second lending process described above is performed, whereby the second lending A loan of 250 balls equivalent to 1050 yen, which is the second tax-included usage amount set for processing, will be implemented, and the remaining amount of JG electronic money will be deducted and updated to 3375 yen, which is 1050 yen subtracted from 4425 yen Is done.

  Further, as a processing state when the remaining amount of the JG electronic money is reduced, as shown in FIG. 17C, in the situation where the remaining amount for gaming becomes 55 yen by the first use processing, the JG electronic money If the mobile phone 5 with a remaining 700 yen is placed close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 is received by the card unit 3 to execute the third lending process, Within the range of 755 yen, which is the total of the remaining amount of 55 yen and 700 yen, which is the remaining amount of JG electronic money, 735 yen, which is the largest integral number of 105 yen including tax, is used 175 balls equivalent to 735 yen are implemented as the possible amount, and 680 yen is determined as the amount of electronic money used by subtracting 55 yen that is the remaining amount for gaming from 735 yen The remaining amount of JG electronic money is updated to 20 yen by subtracting from 700 yen which is the JG electronic money amount of the mobile phone 5 being accepted, and 55 yen which is the remaining amount for gaming is subtracted to 0 and updated. As a result, the remaining 55 yen for gaming can be processed without paying the player with small change.

  That is, in the third lending process of the first embodiment, when the total amount of the JG electronic money amount and the remaining amount for gaming is less than 1050 yen that is the third tax-included usage amount, the range of the total amount Based on an amount that is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is the total amount of tax-included unit amount that is the total amount of 100 yen that is the predetermined use unit amount and 5 yen that is the consumption tax corresponding to the use unit amount Specify the amount of electronic money used.

  In addition, as a processing situation when the remaining amount of JG electronic money is further reduced, as shown in FIG. 17D, in the situation where the gaming balance is 55 yen by the first use processing, The mobile phone 5 in which 40 yen remains as the money amount and 350 yen as the electronic money amount of Company A remains close to the above-described electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 is received by the card unit 3 to When the third lending process is executed, the unit price including tax is 105 yen within the range of 445 yen which is the total amount of the game remaining amount of 55 yen and the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount. A maximum of 420 yen, which is an integer multiple of the yen, is specified as an available amount, and a lending of 100 balls equivalent to the 420 yen is implemented, and from the 420 yen, 55 yen that is the remaining amount for gaming is used. The subtracted 365 yen is specified as the amount of electronic money used, the total amount of 40 yen that is the JG electronic money amount of the mobile phone 5 being accepted is subtracted and the remaining amount is updated to 0, and from 365 yen to JG Electronics The shortage amount of 325 yen, which is the amount of money reduced by 40 yen, is subtracted from 350 yen, which is the remaining amount of Company A's electronic money amount, and the remaining amount is updated to 25 yen, so that the remaining amount for gaming is 55 yen Can be processed without paying the player with small change.

  In the case where the remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount is further reduced, as shown in FIG. 17E, the remaining amount for gaming becomes 55 yen by the first use processing. In this situation, the mobile phone 5 in which 30 yen remains as the JG electronic money amount and 10 yen remains as the A company electronic money amount is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 is placed in the card unit. 3 and the third lending process described above is implemented, the remaining amount for gaming is 55 yen, the total amount of JG electronic money amount and A company electronic money amount is 95 yen including tax Since it is less than 105 yen, the remaining 55 yen for gaming is added to 30 yen, which is the JG electronic money amount, and updated to 85 remaining, and the gaming remaining is deducted to 0. In, so that can be processed without having to pay out to the player 55 yen, the balance for a game at the coin.

  That is, in Sj15 to Sj19 of the third lending process of the first embodiment, the control unit 328 determines that the total remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount and the gaming remaining amount is a predetermined usage unit amount. When the total amount of the game tax is less than 105 yen, which is the total amount of 100 yen and the consumption tax amount corresponding to the used unit amount of 5 yen, the remaining amount for gaming is added to the JG electronic money amount and updated. The game balance is subtracted and updated, and the game balance adjustment process according to claim 3 of the present invention is formed by Sj15 to Sj19.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, by performing the third lending process (third use process), the game remaining amount of less than 525 yen, which is the first tax-included use amount that becomes a fractional amount that cannot be used for the game, is recorded. Since it does not remain on the prepaid card as a medium, it is possible to reduce the labor on the side of the game hall such as preparing a large amount of coins and replenishing the checkout device 20 and reducing the troublesomeness of handling these coins. This can improve the convenience of the player.

  Also, according to the first embodiment, the amount of JG electronic money is reduced, and the total amount of the amount of JG electronic money and the remaining game amount displayed on the balance indicator at that time is the third tax-included usage amount. Even if it is less than 1050 yen, the Sj9 step is included in the third lending process, so that the electronic money based on the maximum amount within the total amount is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount. Since the amount of money used is specified, even when the amount of electronic money is reduced, the reduced amount of electronic money can be used for the third usage process. Not only can this be further reduced, but the convenience of the player can be further improved.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, the total amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount and the remaining game amount displayed on the remaining amount indicator at that time is less than 105 yen that is a unit amount including tax. In the case where the remaining balance for gaming that is a fraction less than these tax-included unit amounts cannot be processed by ball lending, the steps Sj15 to Sj19 corresponding to the remaining balance settlement for gaming in the present invention are performed as the third lending processing. As a result, the remaining balance for gaming is updated by adding to the JG electronic money amount and the remaining amount for gaming is decremented and updated to 0, so that the remaining balance for gaming can be reduced without paying out coins. Since it can be processed, it is possible not only to further reduce the trouble of preparing and replenishing coins, but also to improve the convenience of the player.

  Next, a card unit 3 'according to the second embodiment corresponding to claim 4 of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. In addition, as a feature of the second embodiment, in the first embodiment, in the third lending process, when the remaining game amount is less than or equal to the third tax-included usage amount, While the entire amount is used for ball lending and the game balance is set to 0, in the card unit 3 ′ of the second embodiment, the game balance is divided by 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount. These are the points that the new game balance becomes an amount that does not include the fractional amount by lending the ball using the fractional amount and the JG electronic money amount or the A company electronic money amount. Since the configuration other than the processing is the same as that of the card unit 3 of the first embodiment, the description of the same part is omitted, and the second embodiment is a change from the first embodiment. The processing content that is a characteristic part of will be described below.

  Similarly to the control unit 328 of the first embodiment, the control unit 328 of the second embodiment also performs the normal processing shown in FIG. 10, so that when the acceptance of a prepaid card is detected, the card acceptance processing of FIG. 11. However, when the operation of the lending button is detected, the first lending process of FIG. 12 is performed. When the acceptance (injection) of money (cash) is detected, the depositing process of FIG. 13 is performed, and the operation of the return button is performed. If detected, the return / issuance process of FIG. 14 receives a specific transaction request based on acceptance of the mobile phone 5 in a situation where there is no game balance, and the second lending process of FIG. When a specific transaction request based on acceptance of the mobile phone 5 is received in a situation where there is a balance for use, the third lending process of FIG. 18 is performed.

  In addition, in the used amount ball lending process in the first lending process of the first embodiment, 525 yen, which is the first tax-included used amount, is subtracted from the remaining amount for gaming at a time, but the first lending in the second embodiment. In the used amount ball lending process in the processing, every time a subtraction from the remaining amount for gaming is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 with a payout instruction of 25 balls corresponding to 100 yen as the used unit amount, The process of subtracting 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount corresponding to the unit amount, is performed by repeating the process 5 times, which is the number corresponding to 525 yen.

  Similarly, in the display amount ball lending process in the first lending process of the first embodiment, the maximum amount is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a unit amount including tax, of the remaining amount for gaming displayed on the remaining amount display. For example, if the remaining amount for gaming is 475 yen, 420 yen corresponding to the maximum amount of 4 times the maximum amount of 105 yen including tax is subtracted from the remaining amount for gaming at once. However, in the display amount ball lending process in the first lending process of the second embodiment, the subtraction from the remaining amount for gaming is a pachinko machine 2 corresponding to a payout instruction of 25 balls corresponding to 100 yen as the unit amount used. Each time the data is output, the process of subtracting 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount corresponding to the unit amount used, is repeated 4 times, which is a number corresponding to 420 yen.

  That is, in the first usage process of the second embodiment, among the remaining amount for gaming, 100 yen, which is a predetermined usage unit amount, is used for games in the corresponding pachinko machine 2, and the usage unit amount (100 yen) The total amount of 105 yen (unit amount including tax), which is the total amount of 5 yen that is the consumption tax amount corresponding to the unit amount used, is subtracted and updated from the remaining amount for gaming, and the first use process of the second embodiment is performed. The control unit 328 forms the first use processing means in claim 4 of the present invention.

  In addition, in the used amount ball lending process and the display amount ball lending process of the second embodiment, the process of subtracting 105 yen, which is a unit price including tax, is repeatedly performed, but the present invention is limited to this. Not in the same way as in Example 1, but in advance, the first tax-included usage amount of 525 yen, which is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, and the remaining amount for gaming displayed on the balance indicator For example, 420 yen may be subtracted at a time, which is the maximum amount of an integral multiple of 105 yen, for example. Even in this case, 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, is deducted from the remaining amount for gaming. Since the subtraction update is performed, even such a subtraction update mode is included in the first use process in claim 4 of the present invention.

  In addition, in the ball lending process of Sh5 in the second lending process of the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, 1050 yen, which is the second tax-included usage amount that is 10 times the tax-included unit amount of 105 yen, is electronically processed at a time. Although it is subtracted from the money amount, the present invention is not limited to this, and is the same as the subtraction update form in the used amount ball lending process and the displayed amount ball lending process of the first use process of the second embodiment described above. In addition, every time a subtraction from the amount of electronic money is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 with a payout instruction of 25 balls corresponding to 100 yen as the usage unit amount, The process of subtracting 105 yen may be performed by repeating 10 times, which is the number of times corresponding to 1050 yen. That is, in the second lending process of the second embodiment, among the electronic money amount (JG electronic money amount or A company electronic money amount), the usage unit amount of 100 yen is used for the game in the corresponding pachinko machine 2. , 105 yen (unit price including tax), which is the sum of the usage unit amount (100 yen) and the consumption tax amount 5 yen corresponding to the usage unit amount, is converted into an electronic money amount (JG electronic money amount or A company electronic money amount). The second lending process in the second embodiment corresponds to the second use process in claim 4 of the present invention, and the control unit 328 that performs the second lending process claims the present invention. The 2nd use treatment means in claim | item 4 is formed.

  Hereinafter, the third lending process as a characteristic part in the second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19.

  First, in the third lending process of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the remaining amount for gaming displayed on the remaining amount indicator at that time, that is, the remaining game for the prepaid card being accepted. When the remaining amount or the remaining amount for gaming remaining in the RAM 328b is divided by 105 yen, which is a unit amount including tax, the surplus amount is specified as a fractional amount (Sj0).

  Then, the total remaining amount of each electronic money company temporarily stored in the step of Sb12, that is, the total of the JG electronic money amount stored in the memory 104 and the A company electronic money amount in the case of the mobile phone 5 of this embodiment. It is determined whether the total amount of the remaining amount and the fractional amount specified in the step of Sj0 is less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount (Sj1 '), and the total amount is 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount If not, the process proceeds to step Sj15 ′, and a refund processing request including the fractional amount specified in step Sj0 is transmitted (reply) to the non-contact IC chip 100 of the cellular phone 5 that is being accepted. To do.

  The refund processing request transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S12 of the electronic money use processing shown in FIG. 9 performed by the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) and proceeds to S13. The amount (fractional amount) included in the received refund processing request is added to the JG electronic money amount specified by the remaining amount data in the electronic money storage area 104b, and the remaining amount data is the new JG electronic money amount after the addition. Is updated to the balance data that can be specified.

  Then, based on the fact that the reception of the addition update completion notification transmitted in the step of S14 is detected in the step of Sj16 of the third lending process, the process proceeds to the step of Sj17 ′, and the game remaining in the prepaid card The fractional amount is subtracted and updated from the remaining amount or the remaining game amount remaining in the RAM 328b, and the fractional amount is subtracted and updated from the amount displayed on the remaining amount display (Sj18). A refund completion notice including the refunded amount, the company ID of the JG electronic money amount to be refunded, and the prepaid card being accepted is sent to the system controller 110. (Sj19), the game remaining stored in the system controller 110 in association with the card ID It updates the after updating the amount of money refunded by the card unit 3, the process proceeds to step SJ13 '. If the addition update completion notification is not received within a predetermined time, although not shown, it is recognized as the occurrence of a communication error, and the occurrence of the error is displayed on the display unit 312 and notified.

  That is, in the third lending process of the second embodiment performed by the control unit 328 serving as the third usage processing means in the present invention, the electronic money amount (JG electronic money amount and A company electronic money amount) and the fractional amount are calculated. When the total amount is less than 105 yen including tax, the fractional amount is added and updated to the electronic money amount (JG electronic money amount), and the fractional amount is subtracted and updated from the game balance. The process of Sj19 is included, and the process by the steps of Sj15 ′ to Sj19 corresponds to the game balance adjustment process of claim 5 in the present invention.

  On the other hand, when the total remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount and the fractional amount specified in the step of Sj0 is not less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, that is, the total amount is tax included If the unit amount is 105 yen or more, the process proceeds to step Sj2 ′, and the total amount of the temporarily stored JG electronic money amount and the fractional amount specified in step Sj0 is the third lending process. Is it 1050 yen or more, which is the third tax-included usage amount that is the sum of 1000 yen set as the third usage amount and 50 yen (tax rate 5%) that is the consumption tax amount corresponding to the third usage amount? Determine whether or not.

  In the determination, if the total amount is 1050 yen or more, which is the third tax-included usage amount, the process proceeds to step Sj8 ', and the electronic money is used by subtracting the fractional amount from the third tax-included usage amount 1050 yen. After specifying the amount, the process proceeds to step Sj5.

  If the total amount of the JG electronic money amount and the fractional amount is not 1050 yen or more which is the third tax-included usage amount in the determination of Sj2, the process proceeds to step Sj3 ′, and the total amount becomes the tax-included unit amount 105 It is determined whether or not it is greater than or equal to the yen, and if the total amount is 105 yen or more, which is a tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds to step Sj9 ', and within the range of the total amount, the unit amount is tax-included. If the amount is an integer multiple of 105 yen, for example, if the JG electronic money amount is 700 yen, the fractional amount is 55 yen, and the total amount is 755 yen, 735 yen is specified as the maximum amount. Then, after specifying 680 yen obtained by subtracting 55 yen, which is a fractional amount, from the specified 735 yen, the process proceeds to step Sj5.

  If the total amount of the JG electronic money amount and the fractional amount is not 105 yen or more, which is a tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds from Sj3 ′ to Sj4 ′, and the JG electronic money amount calculated in the step Sj1 ′ Within the range of the total amount of A company's electronic money amount and the fractional amount, the amount is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, and the upper limit is 1050 yen, which is the third tax-included usage amount. If the maximum amount, for example, JG electronic money amount is 40 yen, Company A electronic money amount is 350 yen, and the fractional amount is 55 yen, the total amount is within 445 yen range. Then, specify the maximum amount of 420 yen that is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, and specify 365 yen by subtracting a fractional amount of 55 yen from the specified 420 yen as the amount of electronic money used After step Sj5 Advance.

  In the step of Sj5, the non-transaction of the mobile phone 5 that is receiving specific transaction information including the electronic money usage amount specified in the steps of Sj4 ′, Sj8 ′, and Sj9 ′ and the device ID of the card unit 3 is received. Transmit (reply) to the contact IC chip 100.

  The specific transaction information transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S3 of the electronic money use process shown in FIG. 9 performed by the non-contact IC chip 100, and proceeds to S4. After the included electronic money usage amount is subtracted and updated from the electronic money amount, the process proceeds to step S5, whereby a subtraction update completion notification is transmitted and the above-described processing of S6 to S11 is performed.

  In this way, the reception of the subtraction update completion notification transmitted in step S5 is detected in Sj6 of the third lending process and proceeds to step Sj7, and the electronic money usage amount transmitted as specific transaction information, that is, Sj4 The number of pachinko balls corresponding to the amount used as the calculation source of the electronic money usage specified in the steps of ', Sj8', Sj9 ', that is, if the electronic money usage of Sj8' is equivalent to 1050, which is the usage price including tax If the number of pachinko balls to be played (250) and the amount of electronic money used in Sj9 ′, the number of pachinko balls (175) corresponding to the amount specified in Sj9 ′ (175 pieces) and the amount of electronic money used in Sj4 ′ If so, a payout instruction for the number of pachinko balls (100) corresponding to 420 yen, which is the amount specified in Sj4 ′, is issued to the corresponding pachinko machine 2. Then, after executing the ball lending process for paying out the number of pachinko balls, the process proceeds to step Sj10 ′, and the fractional amount is subtracted from the remaining game amount remaining in the prepaid card or the remaining game amount remaining in the RAM 328b. At the same time, the fractional amount is subtracted from the amount displayed on the remaining amount display (Sj11), the device ID of the card unit 3, the tax-included amount used for the ball lending process of Sj7, and the amount of electronic money used A lending completion notification including the company ID, the new game balance, and the prepaid card being received is sent to the system controller 110 to the system controller 110. The game balance stored in association with the card ID is updated to the new game balance after the subtraction update, and the card After updating the amount of money used in de unit 3, the process proceeds to step SJ13 '. If no subtraction update completion notification is received within a predetermined time, although not shown, it is recognized that a communication error has occurred, and the occurrence of the error is displayed on the display unit 312 and notified.

  In this step of Sj13 ′, it is determined whether there is a prepaid card that is being accepted and the game balance of the prepaid card is “0”, and there is a prepaid card with a game balance of “0”. If it exists, the prepaid card is collected in the storage unit of the internal card reader / writer 327 (Sj14), and then the third lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7.

  In other words, in the third lending process of the second embodiment, when the remaining amount for gaming remains, the predetermined usage unit amount of 100 yen is handled based on accepting the mobile phone 5 as an electronic money recording medium. The pachinko machine 2 is used for lending and using the game, and the remaining amount for the game is the total amount of 100 yen that is the unit of use and 5 yen that is the consumption tax corresponding to the unit of use. The amount of money that is divided by 105 yen is subtracted and updated from the remaining amount for gaming, and the amount of electronic money used by subtracting the fractional amount from 105 yen that includes tax (from 105 yen that includes tax) Including the amount obtained by subtracting the fractional amount from 105 yen, which is a single tax-included unit amount that constitutes a third tax-included usage amount that is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which includes these tax-included unit amounts). Decrease from amount A process including transmission of specific transaction information for updating is performed, and the third lending process corresponds to a third use process according to claim 4 of the present invention, and the control unit 328 performs the third lending process. Thus, the third use processing means in the present invention is formed.

  As described above, in the card unit 3 ′ of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19A, 1000 yen is deposited in the RAM 328b serving as the recording medium of the present invention by the above-described deposit processing. Alternatively, after inserting a prepaid card with a gaming balance of 1000 yen, the player operates the lending button to execute the first lending process described above, so that the first tax-included use set for the first lending process is used. After the amount of 525 yen is used for ball lending, the first lending process is carried out by further operating the lending button, and by using 420 yen for ball lending, the remaining amount for gaming is 1000 yen to 55 yen After that, the cellular phone 5 in which 5000 yen remains as the JG electronic money amount is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the cellular phone 5 is received by the card unit 3 ′. When the third lending process is carried out and there is 55 yen as a game balance at the time of acceptance of the mobile phone 5, the 55 yen is specified as a fractional amount, and the fractional amount (55 yen) and the JG electronic money amount Since the total amount of 5,000 yen is 1050 yen or more, which is the third tax-included usage amount set in the third lending process, the fractional amount is changed from 1050 yen, which is the third tax-included usage amount, to 55. 995 yen minus the yen is specified as the electronic money usage amount and subtracted from 5000 yen, which is the JG electronic money amount of the mobile phone 5 being accepted, and the remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount is updated to 4005 yen At the same time, the remaining 55 yen for gaming is deducted and updated to 0, and 250 balls equivalent to 1050 yen will be rented, so the remaining 55 yen for gaming is paid to the player with small change Succoth will be able to process without. When the mobile phone 5 with the remaining JG electronic money amount of 4005 yen is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 again, the second lending process described above is performed, so that the second lending A loan of 250 balls equivalent to 1050 yen, which is the second tax-included usage amount set for processing, is implemented, and the remaining amount of JG electronic money is subtracted and updated to 2,955 yen, which is 1050 yen subtracted from 4005 yen Is done.

  Further, in the card unit 3 ′ of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), 1000 yen is deposited in the RAM 328b serving as the recording medium of the present invention by the above-described deposit processing, or for gaming. After inserting a prepaid card with a remaining amount of 1000 yen, the player operates the lending button to execute the first lending process described above, so that the first tax-included usage amount set for the first lending process is set. After 525 yen is used for ball lending and the remaining balance for gaming becomes 475 yen, the mobile phone 5 in which 5000 yen remains as the JG electronic money amount is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 is received by the card unit 3 ′, and the third lending process described above is performed, and the remaining balance for gaming is 475 yen as the remaining balance for gaming at the time of acceptance of the mobile phone 5. The remainder of 55 yen, which is the remainder when dividing a certain 475 yen by 105 yen including tax, is specified as the fractional amount, and the total amount of the fractional amount (55 yen) and the JG electronic money amount of 5000 yen is Since it is 1050 yen or more, which is the third tax-included usage amount set for the third lending process, 995 yen obtained by subtracting 55 yen, which is the fractional amount, from 1050 yen, which is the third tax-included usage amount, is electronic money. It is specified as the amount used, subtracted from the JG electronic money amount of 5000 yen of the mobile phone 5 being accepted, and the remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount is updated to 4005 yen, and from the game remaining amount of 475 yen 55 yen is subtracted and updated to 420 yen, and 250 balls equivalent to 1050 yen will be rented, so the new game balance after subtraction update does not include the fractional amount, so the player By operating the out button to execute the first lending process described above, the entire amount of 420 yen, which is the new game balance after the subtraction update, is used for ball lending, so the fractional amount as the game balance is Therefore, these fractional amounts can be processed without paying the player with small change. When the mobile phone 5 with the remaining JG electronic money amount of 4005 yen is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 again, the second lending process described above is performed, so that the second lending A loan of 250 balls equivalent to 1050 yen, which is the second tax-included usage amount set for processing, is implemented, and the remaining amount of JG electronic money is subtracted and updated to 2,955 yen, which is 1050 yen subtracted from 4005 yen Is done.

  Further, as a processing situation when the remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount is reduced, as shown in FIG. 19C, in the situation where the game remaining amount becomes 475 yen by the first use processing, the JG electronic money amount When the mobile phone 5 having a remaining amount of 700 yen is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 is received by the card unit 3 ′ to execute the third lending process, The remainder of 55 yen, which is the remainder when dividing the remaining 475 yen for gaming by the 105 yen tax-included amount, is specified as a fractional amount. The fractional amount (55 yen) and the JG electronic money amount of 700 yen Since the total amount of 755 yen is less than the 1050 yen that is the third tax-included usage amount set for the third lending process, the total amount is 105 yen that is within the range of the total amount of 755 yen. Adjustment 735 yen, which is the maximum amount by double, is specified as the usable amount, 175 balls equivalent to 735 yen are implemented, and 680 yen minus 55 yen, which is a fractional amount, is electronic from 735 yen It is specified as the amount of money used and subtracted from 700 yen, which is the JG electronic money amount of the mobile phone 5 being accepted, and the remaining amount of JG electronic money is updated to 20 yen, and the remaining amount for gaming is from 475 yen By subtracting the fractional amount of 55 yen and updating it to 420 yen, the new game balance after the subtraction update does not include the fractional amount, so the player operates the lending button by operating the lending button. By carrying out the processing, the entire amount of 420 yen, which is the new game balance after the subtraction update, is used for ball lending, so no fractional amount remains as a game balance. In small change So that can be processed without paying out to trick people.

  Further, as a processing situation when the remaining amount of JG electronic money is further reduced, as shown in FIG. 19D, in the situation where the remaining amount for gaming is 475 yen by the first use processing, The mobile phone 5 with the money amount of 40 yen remaining and the company A electronic money amount of 350 yen remaining is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 is received by the card unit 3 ′. When the third lending process described above is carried out, the remainder of 55 yen, which is the remainder when dividing the remaining amount for gaming, 475 yen by 105 yen, which includes tax, is specified as the fractional amount. 55 yen) and JG electronic money amount and A company electronic money amount are within the range of 445 yen, and the usable amount is 420 yen, which is the maximum amount that is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount. A lending of 100 balls corresponding to the 420 yen is implemented, and 365 yen, which is the 420 yen minus 55 yen, is specified as the amount of electronic money used, and the mobile phone being accepted The total amount of 40 yen, which is the JG electronic money amount of the telephone 5, is subtracted and the remaining amount is updated to 0, and 325 yen, which is the shortage amount after subtracting 40 yen, the JG electronic money amount from 365 yen, The remaining amount of electronic money is subtracted from 350 yen and the remaining amount is updated to 25 yen, and the remaining amount for gaming is subtracted from 475 yen to 55 yen which is a fractional amount and updated to 420 yen. Since the new game balance after the update does not include the fractional amount, the player operates the lending button to execute the first lending process described above, and is the new game balance 420 after the subtraction update. Full amount of yen is ball Because it is used in, without fractional value remains as balance gaming, thus, it becomes possible to process without paying out to the player these fractional value at coin.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 19 (e), when the remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount is further reduced, as shown in FIG. In this situation, the mobile phone 5 in which 30 yen remains as the JG electronic money amount and 10 yen remains as the A company electronic money amount is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 is placed in the card unit. In the case where the third lending process is executed by accepting 3 ′, the remaining amount for gaming of 55 yen is specified as the fractional amount, the fractional amount of 55 yen, the JG electronic money amount and the A company The total amount of 95 yen, which is the total amount of electronic money, is less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit, so 55 yen, which is a fractional amount, is added to 30 yen, which is the amount of JG electronic money, and is updated to the remaining amount of 85 yen Together, by balance for a game it is subtracted updated to 0, it becomes possible to process without paying out to the player 55 yen, the balance gaming at coin. In the situation where the remaining amount for gaming is 475 yen, the mobile phone 5 with 30 yen remaining as the JG electronic money amount and 10 yen remaining as the A company electronic money amount is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332. Similarly, 55 yen, which is a fractional amount, is added to 30 yen, which is the amount of JG electronic money, and updated to the remaining amount of 85 yen.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the card unit 3 ′ includes the control unit 328 serving as the third usage processing means for performing the third lending processing (third usage processing). Since the prepaid card (recording medium) in which the remaining balance for games that is less than the fractional amount is generated and the fractional amount is settled by the settlement device 20 can be greatly reduced, a large amount of coins can be prepared and It is possible to reduce the labor on the side of the game hall such as replenishing the checkout device 20, and to reduce the troublesomeness of handling these coins, it is possible to improve the convenience of the player.

  Further, according to the second embodiment, the total amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount and the fractional amount of the remaining amount for gaming displayed at that time is the tax-included unit amount 105. Even if it is less than Yen and fractional amounts less than these tax-included unit amounts cannot be processed by ball lending, the steps Sj15 ′ to Sj19 corresponding to the game balance settlement processing in the present invention are performed as the third lending processing. By having these fractional amounts added to the JG electronic money amount, the fractional amount is subtracted and updated from the gaming balance, so that the new gaming balance does not include the fractional amount. Since the fractional amount can be processed without paying out the coins, not only can the trouble of preparing and replenishing the coins be further reduced, but the convenience of the player can be further improved.

  Next, a card unit 3 ″ used in the gaming system according to the third embodiment corresponding to claim 6 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 to 23. The features of the third embodiment are as follows. In the first embodiment, the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount are directly used for the ball lending in the second lending process and the third lending process, whereas the card unit 3 "of the third embodiment is used. The JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount are once deposited so that no fractional amount is generated in the remaining balance for gaming, and ball lending is performed using the deposited gaming remaining amount, Since the configuration other than the processing that is the feature is the same as that of the card unit 3 of the first embodiment, the description of the same parts is omitted, and this is a change from the first embodiment. Processing content that is a characteristic part of the third embodiment With it will be described below.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the contents of processing performed by the control unit 328 of the card unit 3 ″ of the third embodiment, and the processing of Sb2 to Sb7 is performed after the start-up processing as in the first embodiment.

  Then, as in the first embodiment, when acceptance of a prepaid card is detected, the card acceptance processing of FIG. 11 is performed, and when the operation of the lending button is detected, the first lending processing of FIG. When the acceptance (injection) of (cash) is detected, the depositing process of FIG. 13 is performed, and when the operation of the return button is detected, the return / issuing process of FIG. 14 is performed.

  In other words, in the first use process of the third embodiment, at least a part of the remaining amount for gaming is used for games in the corresponding pachinko machine 2, and the amount of money used for the game is 500 yen and the usage amount. 525 yen, which is a tax-included usage amount that is a total amount of 25 yen, which is a consumption tax amount corresponding to the amount of money, is updated by subtracting from the remaining amount for gaming, and the first usage process of the third embodiment is claimed in the present invention The use processing means according to claim 6 of the present invention is formed by the control unit 328 that performs the first use process.

  Further, in the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7 described above, in response to polling transmission of Sb6, each electronic money company's transmitted in S2 of the electronic money usage process shown in FIG. When the external card reader / writer 330 receives the specific transaction request including the electronic money amount and the company ID, the received specific transaction request is output from the external card reader / writer 330 to the control unit 328, so that the control unit 328 Determines that the specific transaction request has been received in step Sb7 and proceeds to step Sb12 to temporarily store each electronic money amount (including the company ID) included in the received specific transaction request and to step Sb13. Go ahead and there is a game balance in the prepaid card or RAM 328b that you are accepting If the remaining amount for gaming does not exist, the process proceeds to step Sb16 and the second deposit process shown in FIG. 21 is performed. On the other hand, if the remaining amount for gaming exists, the process proceeds to step Sb17. Then, the third depositing process shown in FIG. 22 is performed.

  First, the second deposit process of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 21. First, the total remaining amount of each electronic money company temporarily stored in step Sb12, that is, the mobile phone 5 of the present embodiment. Then, it is determined whether or not the total remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount stored in the memory 104 is less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount (Sk1), and becomes the tax-included unit amount If it is less than 105 yen, the process proceeds to step Sk8, and a remaining amount error is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip 100 of the cellular phone 5 being accepted.

  The remaining amount error transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S16 of the electronic money use process shown in FIG. 9 performed by the non-contact IC chip 100 and proceeds to S15, whereby error information is sent to the control unit 55. By transmitting (lack of remaining amount), the JG application is automatically activated and a message indicating that the remaining amount of electronic money is insufficient is displayed on the display unit 56 for a predetermined time, and the electronic money amount is charged. A charging screen (not shown) to be performed is displayed on the display unit 56 to prompt the player to charge the electronic money amount.

  On the other hand, if the total remaining amount is not less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds to step Sk2, and the total remaining amount is set as the second deposit amount of the second deposit process, 1000 yen and the second deposit It is determined whether or not it is 1050 yen or more, which is a second tax-included deposit amount that is a total amount of 50 yen (tax rate 5%) that is a consumption tax amount corresponding to the amount.

  In the determination, if the total remaining amount is 1050 yen or more, which is the second tax-included deposit amount, the process proceeds to the step of Sk3, and the second tax-included deposit amount of 1050 yen and the device ID of the card unit 3 ″ are obtained. The specific transaction information is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip 100 of the mobile phone 5 that is receiving the specific transaction information.

  The specific transaction information transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S3 of the electronic money use process shown in FIG. 9 performed by the non-contact IC chip 100, and proceeds to S4. The included second tax-included amount of 1050 yen is subtracted and updated from the electronic money amount.

  Specifically, the JG electronic money amount specified from the balance data stored in the JG electronic money storage area 104b is preferentially used, and the JG electronic money amount is 1050 yen or more, which is the second tax-included amount. In this case, the second tax-included amount of 1050 yen is subtracted from the JG electronic money amount, and the balance data is updated to the balance data that can specify the new JG electronic money amount after the subtraction. If the electronic money amount does not exist above the second tax-included amount of 1050 yen, the entire amount of the JG electronic money amount is subtracted and the balance data is updated to the balance data indicating “0”. The shortage amount obtained by subtracting the JG electronic money amount from 1050 yen including tax is subtracted from the A company electronic money amount specified from the balance data stored in the storage area 104a of the A company. Te, the balance data is updated a new A's electronic money amount after the subtraction to identifiable balance data.

  Then, by proceeding to step S5, the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) transmits the subtraction update completion notification, and then performs the above-described processing of S6 to S11, thereby storing JG electronic money. The usage history data once stored in the area 104b is reflected in the memory unit 60 and can be displayed by the JG application.

  In this way, the reception of the subtraction update completion notification transmitted in step S5 is detected in Sk4 of the second deposit process, proceeds to step Sk5, and is the second tax-included deposit amount 1050 transmitted as the specific transaction information. After adding and updating the yen to the remaining amount for gaming (including 0 yen) stored in the RAM 328b, the added and updated second tax-included amount of 1050 yen, the device ID of the card unit 3 ″, and the electronic device used A second deposit notification including the company ID of the amount of money is transmitted to the system controller 110, and the amount of money deposited by the card unit 3 ″ managed in the system controller 110 and the amount of money deposited from the amount of electronic money And proceed to the step of Sk7, and the display amount displayed on the remaining amount indicator is changed to the value after the addition update of the RAM 328b. And display update to the balance for Tana game, returns to the standby state of Sb2~Sb7 to end the second payment processing.

  On the other hand, in the determination of Sk2, if the total remaining amount is not 1050 yen or more, which includes the tax-included amount, the process proceeds to Step Sk7, and the maximum amount of the total remaining amount is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is the unit amount including tax. For example, if the total remaining amount is 700 yen, specify 630 yen corresponding to 6 times that is the largest amount with an integral multiple of 105 yen that is a tax-included unit amount, and the specified amount is 630 yen The specific transaction information including the device ID of the card unit 3 is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip 100 of the cellular phone 5 that is receiving (Sk10).

  The specific transaction information transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S3 of the electronic money use process shown in FIG. 9 and proceeds to S4, so that the amount of 630 yen included in the received specific transaction information is The electronic money is subtracted and updated. Specifically, the entire amount of JG electronic money is subtracted, and the balance data is updated to balance data indicating “0”, and the amount of JG electronic money from 630 yen that is included in the received specific transaction information. Is subtracted from the A-company electronic money amount specified from the balance data stored in the storage area 104a of the A company, and the balance data specifies a new A-company electronic money amount after the subtraction. Updated to possible balance data.

  Then, by proceeding to step S5, the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) transmits the subtraction update completion notification, and then performs the above-described processing of S6 to S11.

  As described above, the reception of the subtraction update completion notification transmitted in S5 is detected in Sk4 of the second deposit process and proceeds to the step of Sk5, and the amount of 630 yen transmitted as the specific transaction information is stored in the RAM 328b. After adding and updating the remaining amount for gaming (including 0 yen), the second deposit including the added and updated amount of 630 yen, the device ID of the card unit 3 ″, and the company ID of the used electronic money amount The notification is transmitted to the system controller 110, the amount of money deposited by the card unit 3 ″ managed in the system controller 110 and the amount of money deposited from the electronic money amount are updated, and the process proceeds to step Sk7. The display amount displayed on the remaining amount indicator is updated and displayed as a new game remaining amount after the addition update of the RAM 328b. To end the payment processing returns to the standby state of Sb2~Sb7.

  Next, in the third deposit process in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22, if the total remaining amount of each electronic money company temporarily stored in step Sb12, that is, the mobile phone 5 of this embodiment, the memory 104. The total remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount stored in 104, and the remaining game amount displayed on the remaining amount indicator at that time, that is, the game remaining in the prepaid card being accepted It is determined whether or not the total amount of the remaining amount for game or the remaining amount for gaming remaining in the RAM 328b is less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount (Sm1), and the total amount is less than 105 yen, which is the unit amount including tax If it is, the process proceeds to step Sm10 and the non-contact of the mobile phone 5 that is accepting the refund processing request including the game balance displayed on the balance display at that time Send (reply) to to the C-chip 100.

  In the third embodiment, when it is determined in Sm1 that the total amount of the remaining electronic money (the total remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount) and the remaining amount for gaming is less than the tax-included unit amount, The game balance is added to the electronic money balance (JG electronic money amount) and returned. In addition to this, the remainder of the game divided by the unit amount including tax and the electronic money balance It is determined whether or not the total amount of (JG electronic money amount and A company's electronic money amount) is equal to or greater than the tax-included unit amount, and if the total amount is less than the tax-included unit amount, the fractional amount is the electronic money remaining amount You may make it return, adding to (JG electronic money amount). For example, if the game balance is 475 yen (divided by the tax-included unit price of 105 yen, the fractional amount is 55 yen) and the electronic money balance is 20 yen, the sum of the fractional amount and the electronic money balance Since the amount is 75 yen and less than the unit price including tax, 55 yen, which is a fractional amount, is added to the electronic money balance (JG electronic money amount), and the fractional amount of 55 yen is subtracted from the game balance. As a result, the remaining amount of electronic money is 75 yen, and the remaining amount for gaming is 420 yen not including the fractional amount.

  The refund processing request transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S12 of the electronic money use processing shown in FIG. 9 performed by the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) and proceeds to S13. The amount included in the received refund processing request (the balance for game displayed on the balance display) is added to the amount of JG electronic money specified by the balance data in the storage area 104b of the electronic money, and the balance data is The new JG electronic money amount after the addition is updated to the balance data that can be specified.

  Then, the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) proceeds to step S14 and transmits an addition update completion notification, and then proceeds to S15 to transmit error information (insufficient balance) to the control unit 55. As a result, the JG application is automatically started and a message indicating that the remaining amount of electronic money is insufficient is displayed on the display unit 56 for a predetermined time, and a charging screen (not shown) for charging the electronic money amount is displayed. However, by displaying on the display unit 56, the player is prompted to charge the electronic money amount.

  Then, based on the fact that the reception of the addition update completion notification transmitted in the step of S14 is detected in the step of Sm11 of the third depositing process, the process proceeds to the step of Sm12, and the remaining game amount remaining in the prepaid card Alternatively, the remaining amount for gaming remaining in the RAM 328b is updated by subtracting 0, and the amount displayed on the remaining amount indicator is updated by subtracting 0 (Sj13), and the device ID of the card unit 3 ″ and the refunded amount And a refund completion notification including the company ID of the JG electronic money amount to be refunded and the prepaid card being accepted, to the system controller 110 (Sm14). ), The game balance stored in association with the card ID in the system controller 110 is updated. In both cases, after updating the amount refunded in the card unit 3, the process proceeds to the step of Sm 16. Note that if no addition update completion notification is received within a predetermined time, although not shown, a communication error has occurred. Recognize and display the occurrence of the error on the display unit 312 for notification.

  In this step of Sm16, it is determined whether or not there is a prepaid card being accepted. If there is a prepaid card that is being accepted, the prepaid card is collected in the storage unit of the internal card reader / writer 327. (Sm17), the third depositing process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7.

  On the other hand, if the total amount is not less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, that is, if the total amount is 105 yen or more, which is a tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds to step Sm2, and the temporarily stored JG electronic money amount is The total amount of the remaining game amount (remaining game amount remaining in the prepaid card or RAM 328b) displayed on the remaining amount indicator at that time is set as the third deposit amount of the third deposit process. It is determined whether or not it is 1050 yen or more, which is the third tax-included amount of money that is the sum of 1000 yen and 50 yen (tax rate 5%) that is the consumption tax amount corresponding to the third amount of money received.

  In this determination, if the total amount is 1050 yen or more, which is the third tax-included deposit amount, the process proceeds to step Sm8, and the remaining amount for games (prepaid card or RAM 328b remaining from the third tax-included deposit amount of 1050 yen). The remaining amount for gaming) is subtracted to specify the amount of electronic money used, and the process proceeds to step Sm5.

  If the total amount of the JG electronic money amount and the remaining amount for gaming at that time is not 1050 yen or more, which is the third tax-included amount, in the determination of Sm2, the process proceeds to the step of Sm3 and the total amount is included in the tax-inclusive unit. It is determined whether or not the total amount is 105 yen or more, and if the total amount is 105 yen or more that includes the tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds to step Sm9, and within the range of the total amount, the tax-included unit If the amount is an integral multiple of 105 yen, the maximum amount, for example, if the JG electronic money amount is 700 yen, the remaining amount for gaming is 55 yen, and the total amount is 755 yen, then the maximum amount is 735 yen After specifying the amount of money and specifying 680 yen as the amount of electronic money used by subtracting 55 yen that is the remaining amount for gaming from the specified 735 yen, the process proceeds to step Sm5.

  If the total amount of the JG electronic money amount and the remaining amount for gaming at that time is not 105 yen or more, which is a tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds from Sm3 to Sm4, and the JG electronic money calculated in the Sm1 step Within the range of the total amount of the total amount of the amount and the A company electronic money amount and the remaining amount for gaming, an amount that is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, and 1050 yen that is the third tax-included amount If the maximum amount, for example, the JG electronic money amount is 40 yen, the A company electronic money amount is 350 yen, and the game balance is 55 yen, it is the total amount of these. Within the range of 445 yen, specify the maximum amount of 420 yen, which is an integer multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, and subtract 55 yen, which is the remaining amount for gaming, from the specified 420 yen to obtain 365 yen as an electronic As the amount of money used After was boss, the process proceeds to step of Sm5.

  In the step Sm5, the non-contact IC of the mobile phone 5 that is receiving specific transaction information including the electronic money usage amount specified in the steps Sm4, Sm8, and Sm9 and the device ID of the card unit 3 ″. Transmit (reply) to the chip 100.

  The specific transaction information transmitted (returned) in this way is detected in S3 of the electronic money use process shown in FIG. 9 performed by the non-contact IC chip 100, and proceeds to S4. The included electronic money usage amount is subtracted and updated from the electronic money amount.

  Specifically, in the case of the electronic money usage amount specified in Sm8 and Sm9, the electronic money usage amount is calculated from the JG electronic money amount specified from the balance data stored in the JG electronic money storage area 104b. Subtracted and the balance data is updated to the balance data that can specify the new JG electronic money amount after the subtraction. In the case of the electronic money usage amount specified in Sm4, the entire amount of the JG electronic money amount is subtracted. Then, the balance data is updated to the balance data indicating “0”, and the shortage amount obtained by subtracting the JG electronic money amount from the amount of electronic money used is calculated from the balance data stored in the storage area 104a of the company A. Subtracted from the specified A company electronic money amount, the balance data is updated to the balance data that can specify the new A company electronic money amount after the subtraction.

  Then, by proceeding to step S5, the non-contact IC chip 100 (digital control unit 103) transmits the subtraction update completion notification, and then performs the above-described processing of S6 to S11.

  Thus, the reception of the subtraction update completion notification transmitted in step S5 is detected in step Sm6 of the third deposit process and proceeds to step Sm7, so that Sg2 to Sg7 in the deposit process shown in FIG. After executing the game remaining amount update process consisting of the above, the third deposit process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb7. If no subtraction update completion notification is received within a predetermined time, although not shown, it is recognized that a communication error has occurred, and the occurrence of the error is displayed on the display unit 312 and notified.

  Specifically, in the game remaining amount update process composed of Sg2 to Sg7, when there is no prepaid card being accepted, the electronic money usage amount transmitted as the specific transaction information, that is, the steps of Sm4, Sm8, Sm9 After the specified amount of electronic money used is added and updated to the remaining amount for gaming (including 0 yen) stored in the RAM 328b, the amount of money added and updated, the device ID of the card unit 3 ″, and the used electronic money The third payment notice including the company ID of the amount is transmitted to the system controller 110, and the amount of money received from the card unit 3 ″ managed by the system controller 110 and the amount of money received from the electronic money amount are displayed. The game remaining amount displayed on the remaining amount indicator is updated and the new updated amount stored in the RAM 328b is updated. If there is a prepaid card that is being accepted, the electronic money usage amount transmitted as specific transaction information, that is, the electronic money usage amount specified in the steps Sm4, Sm8, Sm9 is displayed. Is added to the game balance specified from the game balance data stored in the prepaid card that is being received, and the game balance data that can specify the new game balance after adding the game balance data To the system controller 110, the third card payment notification including the payment amount, the device ID of the card unit 3 ″, the company ID of the used electronic money amount, and the card ID of the prepaid card being accepted is sent to the system controller 110. To update the game balance of the prepaid card managed in the system controller 110, and The prepaid card which is accepting the game balance displayed on the balance display by updating the deposit amount and the electronic money amount deposited by the card unit 3 "managed by the stem controller 110 Is updated and displayed in the new game balance after the addition update.

  In other words, in the third deposit process of the third embodiment, when the remaining amount for gaming remains, the mobile phone 5 serving as an electronic money recording medium on which information capable of specifying the electronic money amount is recorded is received. From 1050 yen, which is a tax-included amount that is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount that is the total amount of 100 yen that is the predetermined unit amount used and 5 yen that is the consumption tax corresponding to the unit amount used Specific transaction information for specifying an electronic money usage amount obtained by subtracting the remaining amount for use, adding and updating the specified electronic money usage amount to the game residual amount, and subtracting and updating the electronic money usage amount from the electronic money amount The third deposit process corresponds to the electronic money deposit process in claim 6 of the present invention, and the control unit 328 that executes the third deposit process performs the present deposit process. The electronic money deposit process means are formed in.

  As described above, in the card unit 3 ″ of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23A, 1000 yen is deposited in the RAM 328b serving as the recording medium of the present invention by the above-described depositing process. Alternatively, after inserting a prepaid card with a gaming balance of 1000 yen, the player operates the lending button to execute the first lending process described above, so that the first tax-included use set for the first lending process is used. After the amount of 525 yen is used for ball lending, the first lending process is carried out by further operating the lending button, and by using 420 yen for ball lending, the remaining amount for gaming is 1000 yen to 55 yen After that, the mobile phone 5 with the remaining JG electronic money amount of 5000 yen is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 so that the mobile phone 5 is received by the card unit 3 ″. When the third deposit process is performed and there is 55 yen as a game balance at the time of acceptance of the mobile phone 5, the game starts from the third tax-included deposit amount of 1050 yen set in the third deposit process. 995 yen obtained by subtracting 55 yen, which is the balance for use, is specified as the amount of electronic money used, subtracted from 5000 yen, which is the amount of JG electronic money for the mobile phone 5 being received, and the remaining amount of JG electronic money is 4005. In addition to being updated to yen, the remaining amount for electronic money used is added to the remaining amount for gaming of 55 yen, and the remaining amount for electronic gaming is updated to 1050. Since the remaining amount does not include the fractional amount, the player operates the lending button to execute the first lending process described above, and the total amount of 1050 yen, which is the new game remaining after the subtraction update, is Because it is used in the rental, without fractional value remains as balance gaming, thus, it becomes possible to process without paying out to the player these fractional value at coin.

  Further, in the card unit 3 ″ of the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23 (b), 1000 yen is deposited in the RAM 328b serving as the recording medium of the present invention by the above-described deposit processing, or for gaming. After inserting a prepaid card with a remaining amount of 1000 yen, the player operates the lending button to execute the first lending process described above, so that the first tax-included usage amount set for the first lending process is set. After 525 yen is used for ball lending and the remaining balance for gaming becomes 475 yen, the mobile phone 5 in which 5000 yen remains as the JG electronic money amount is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 is received by the card unit 3 ″, the third deposit process described above is performed, and when the mobile phone 5 is received, the remaining amount for gaming is 475 yen, so that the third deposit 575 yen obtained by subtracting 475 yen, which is the remaining amount for gaming, from 1050 yen, which is the third tax-included deposit amount set as the reason, is specified as the amount of electronic money used, and the JG electronic money of the mobile phone 5 being accepted The remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount is updated to 4425 yen by subtracting from the amount of 5000 yen, and the remaining amount for gaming is 1050 by adding 575 yen as the amount of electronic money used to the remaining amount for gaming 475 yen. Since the new game balance after the addition update does not include the fractional amount, the player can operate the lending button to perform the first lending process, thereby performing the subtraction update. Since the entire amount of 1050 yen, which is a new game balance later, will be used for ball lending, there will be no fractional amount remaining as a game balance, so these fractional amounts will be paid out to the player in small changes. Ku will be able to process.

  Further, as a processing situation when the remaining amount of the JG electronic money is reduced, as shown in FIG. 23C, in the situation where the remaining amount for gaming becomes 55 yen by the first use processing, When the mobile phone 5 with a remaining 700 yen is placed close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 is received by the card unit 3 ″ to perform the third deposit process, Within the range of 755 yen, which is the total amount of 55 yen, which is the remaining amount for gaming, and 700 yen, which is the remaining amount of JG electronic money, 735 yen, which is the maximum amount, is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which includes tax. 680 yen, which is specified as an available amount and subtracts 55 yen, which is the remaining amount for gaming, from the specified 735 yen, is specified as the amount of electronic money used, and the JG electronic money manager of the mobile phone 5 being accepted The remaining amount of JG electronic money is updated to 20 yen by subtracting from the amount of 700 yen, and the remaining amount for gaming is reduced by adding 680 yen, which is the amount of electronic money used, to 55 yen, the remaining amount for gaming. Since the new game balance after the addition update does not include the fractional amount, the player operates the lending button to perform the first lending process, so that the subtraction is performed. Since the entire amount of 735 yen, which is the new game balance after renewal, will be used for ball lending, there will be no fractional amount remaining as a game balance, so these fractional amounts will be paid out to the player in small changes. Can be processed without any problems.

  That is, the control unit 328 serving as the electronic money deposit processing means in the third deposit process of the third embodiment has a total amount of the JG electronic money amount and the game balance less than 1050 yen, which is the third tax-included deposit amount. In some cases, the maximum amount within the total amount range is 105 yen, which is the total amount including the predetermined usage unit amount of 100 yen and the consumption tax amount corresponding to the usage unit amount of 5 yen. The use amount of the electronic money is specified based on an integer multiple.

  Further, as a processing situation when the remaining amount of JG electronic money is further reduced, as shown in FIG. 23 (d), in the situation where the gaming balance is 55 yen by the first use processing, The mobile phone 5 with 40 yen remaining as the money amount and 350 yen as the A company electronic money amount is placed close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the card unit 3 ″ accepts the mobile phone 5 When the third lending process described above is implemented, it is a tax-included unit amount within the range of 445 yen, which is the total amount of the game remaining amount of 55 yen and the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount. The maximum amount of 420 yen, which is an integer multiple of 105 yen, is specified as the usable amount, and 365 yen obtained by subtracting 55 yen, which is the remaining amount for gaming, from the specified 420 yen is used as the electronic money usage amount. The total amount of 40 yen, which is the JG electronic money amount of the mobile phone 5 being accepted, is subtracted and the remaining amount is updated to 0, and the shortage amount obtained by subtracting 40 yen, the JG electronic money amount, from 365 yen 325 yen is subtracted from 350 yen which is the remaining amount of Company A's electronic money amount, and the remaining amount is updated to 25 yen, and 365 yen which is the amount of electronic money used is added to 55 yen which is the remaining amount for gaming. Since the game balance is updated to 420, the new game balance after the addition update does not include the fractional amount, so the player operates the lending button to execute the first lending process described above. By doing so, the entire amount of 420 yen that is the new game balance after the subtraction update is used for ball lending, so there is no remaining fraction as a game balance. Paying out to the player Ku will be able to process.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 23 (e), when the remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount is further reduced, as shown in FIG. In this situation, the mobile phone 5 in which 30 yen remains as the JG electronic money amount and 10 yen remains as the A company electronic money amount is brought close to the electronic money communication unit 332 and the mobile phone 5 is placed in the card unit. 3 ”is accepted and the third lending process described above is implemented, the remaining amount for gaming is 55 yen, and the total amount of JG electronic money amount and A company electronic money amount is 95 yen Is less than 105 yen, and the remaining game amount of 55 yen is added to the JG electronic money amount of 30 yen to be updated to the remaining amount of 85 yen, and the remaining game amount is subtracted to 0 and updated. And in, so that can be processed without having to pay out to the player 55 yen, the balance for a game at the coin.

  That is, in Sm10 to Sm16 of the third deposit process of the third embodiment, the control unit 328 determines that the total remaining amount of the JG electronic money amount and the A company electronic money amount and the gaming residual amount is a predetermined usage unit amount. When the total amount of the game tax is less than 105 yen, which is the total amount of 100 yen and the consumption tax amount corresponding to the used unit amount of 5 yen, the remaining amount for gaming is added to the JG electronic money amount and updated. The game balance is subtracted and updated, and the game balance adjustment process according to claim 8 of the present invention is formed by Sm10 to Sm16.

  As described above, according to the third embodiment, the card unit 3 ″ includes the control unit 328 serving as an electronic money deposit processing unit that performs the third deposit process serving as the electronic money deposit process. Since it is possible to greatly reduce the fact that a prepaid card (recording medium) in which a remaining amount for gaming that is less than a fraction is generated and the remaining amount for gaming that is the fraction is settled in the settlement apparatus 20, preparation for a large amount of coins In addition, it is possible to reduce labor on the game hall side such as replenishing the coin change device 20, and to reduce the troublesomeness of handling these coins, it is possible to improve the convenience of the player.
