Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming system using electronic money, and more particularly to a method for processing electronic money in a gaming system in the case of paying out rental of gaming media with electronic money.

In recent years, electronic money is charged to an electronic money storage medium such as an IC card or a mobile phone terminal such as Suica (registered trademark) or Edy (registered trademark), and shopping can be performed at a convenience store using the IC card. Electronic money systems that can be used are being introduced.On the other hand, the payment of lending fees for game media (pachinko balls, medals, etc.) in game stores such as pachinko halls and pachislot halls is excessive. There is a need to deter the use of electronic money.
For example, in Patent Document 1, a transaction amount used for a specific transaction such as payment of a rental fee for game media in a game store is stored in electronic money in a predetermined period, and an upper limit of the transaction amount in a predetermined period is stored. It has been proposed to limit the usage by determining whether the management of the usage amount or the total amount exceeds the upper limit amount. Thereby, the effect which suppresses use of the excessive electronic money in a game store can be brought about.

In recent years, electronic money systems can be charged not only with cash, but also with bank transfer and with a credit card in consideration of the convenience of shoppers.
At this time, in the case of charging with cash, you can feel the sense of consumption because the cash is actually sucked into the charging machine from the user's hand, but the feeling is weak with the charge using bank transfer or credit card . In the case of bank transfer, you can not charge more than the amount saved in your account, but in the case of credit card, the charged amount will directly hit the user as a debt (debt). For this reason, in order to avoid gambling, the industry has voluntarily regulated the payment of the game media lending price in the game store so that electronic money that can be charged with a credit card cannot be used.
