  Thus, the player can grasp the current usage amount and the worst usage amount ranking in the game hall. In addition, since the degree of the amount of money to be used is judged from a different perspective than usual, it leads to calmly reconsidering the situation during the game, and consequently suppressing excessive use of the player exceeding the limit be able to.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 5, the determination unit 508 includes the identification information unique to the gaming machine M recorded in the non-contact IC tag provided in the gaming machine M included in the gaming information acquired by the acquisition unit 501, and the game Based on the setting information set in advance in association with the machine M, it has a function of determining the validity of the identification information.

  Here, the non-contact IC tag is an IC tag that performs non-contact communication using electromagnetic induction or radio waves. For example, a main board that controls the gaming machine M, a ROM mounted on the main board, Affixed to a substrate case that covers the main substrate. The identification information is uniquely assigned to the non-contact IC tag and specifies, for example, a gaming machine ID for identifying the gaming machine M, a gaming hall ID for identifying the gaming hall, and a manufacturer of the gaming machine M. For example.

  Various information recorded in the non-contact IC tag is read by a reading unit (not shown) of the game medium lending device 110 using the second antenna 308 shown in FIG. Then, the read various information (identification information) is transmitted from the game medium lending device 110 to the information processing device 120 as game information of the gaming machine M.

  The setting information is information set in association with identification information recorded on a non-contact IC tag provided in the gaming machine M, and is stored in advance in a memory such as the ROM 402 or the RAM 403. Specifically, the setting information may be information that can determine the legitimacy of the identification information included in the game information. For example, legitimate identification information (identification information recorded on a regular non-contact IC tag) (Game machine ID, game hall ID, trader ID, etc.).

  The determination unit 508 reads the setting information from the memory and determines the validity of the identification information by collating the identity between the identification information included in the game information and the setting information. Here, it is assumed that a gaming machine ID for identifying the gaming machine M is included in the identification information and the setting information. In this case, the respective gaming machine IDs included in the identification information and the setting information are compared, and if they match, it is determined that the identification information is valid. On the other hand, if the gaming machine IDs do not match, Judge that the information is invalid.

  In other words, when a fraudulent act of illegally modifying the main board that controls the gaming machine M or the ROM mounted on the main board or replacing it with the back ROM is performed, unfair identification information is given to the non-contact IC tag. There are cases where data is written or replaced with another IC tag. Therefore, it is monitored whether any illegal act is performed on the gaming machine M by judging the legitimacy of the read identification information.

  Further, the output unit 507 has a function of outputting abnormality information indicating an abnormality of the gaming machine M when the determination unit 508 determines that the identification information is inappropriate. The abnormality information indicating the abnormality of the gaming machine M is information for notifying the outside that there is a possibility that some illegal act has been performed on the gaming machine M.

Time information for identifying the time (date and time) determined to be present may be included.

  Specifically, when it is determined that the identification information is invalid, the output unit 507 reads the abnormality information from the memory and outputs the abnormality information. At this time, information indicating the machine number of the gaming machine M (stored in a memory such as the ROM 402 or the RAM 403) may be added to the abnormality information, and the time information when the identification information is determined to be invalid. May be added to the abnormality information as a time stamp.

  The determination unit 508 has a function of determining whether or not the identification information is included in the game information acquired by the acquisition unit 501. Specifically, for example, when the game information including the identification information is not acquired continuously for a predetermined period (for example, several tens of seconds) or a predetermined number of times (for example, several times), the identification information is included in the game information. Is not included.

  Here, the situation in which the identification information is not included in the game information means that the second antenna 308 is removed or the non-contact IC tag provided in the gaming machine M is peeled off when an illegal act is performed. Or the wiring of the second antenna 308 is cut, and the reading of the identification information from the non-contact IC tag by the reading unit of the game medium lending device 110 becomes impossible.

  Further, the output unit 507 has a function of outputting abnormality information indicating an abnormality of the gaming machine M when the determination unit 508 determines that the identification information is not included in the gaming information. In other words, when any illegal act is performed on the gaming machine M and reading of the identification information from the non-contact IC tag becomes impossible, abnormal information indicating an abnormality of the gaming machine M is output. At this time, the output unit 507 may output abnormality information including time information for specifying the time when the determination unit 508 determines that the identification information is not included.

  Further, the output unit 507 may control the display unit 509 having a display screen to display abnormality information indicating abnormality of the gaming machine M on the display screen. Here, an example of a screen displayed on the display 412 of the information processing apparatus 120 will be described.

In this way, when there is a possibility that some kind of fraudulent act has been performed on the gaming machine M, it is possible to realize a quick discovery of the fraudulent act by notifying the manager of the game hall to that effect.

  Furthermore, from the date and time of occurrence of the abnormality, it is possible to specify the date and time when the gaming machine M may be cheated. This makes it possible to determine whether the fraudulent act was performed during business hours or after the end of business, and can be used for identifying the person who performed the fraudulent act.

  The output format of the abnormality information by the output unit 507 is not only the screen display on the display 412 but also lighting or blinking by a lamp (not shown), print output by an external printer, data output (save) to a memory, Any transmission to an external computer device may be used.

  More specifically, for example, abnormality information indicating an abnormality of the gaming machine M may be transmitted to a mobile phone terminal of a game hall manager, or may be transmitted to a terminal device of a security company. Furthermore, abnormality information may be displayed on the TV screen attached to the gaming machine M, and the data counter installed on the upper part of the gaming machine M and displaying the number of jackpots and the number of rotations of the gaming machine M is abnormal. Information may be displayed.

  Also, the abnormality information may be notified to a reliable third party computer device. As a result, the abnormality information is displayed on the display screen of the computer device of the third party organization, and the abnormality of the gaming machine M can be notified to the user of the third party organization. Thereby, the user of the third party organization can quickly grasp that there is a possibility that some illegal act has been performed on the gaming machine M. In this manner, a comprehensive third-party fraud countermeasure can be realized in consideration of fraudulent acts by an administrator or employee of the game hall by monitoring fraud related to the game hall by a reliable third party organization.
