This is to prevent the user's login from being duplicated with other game devices (10).

The display 1000 displays the game program.

Since the display 1000 applies a commonly used display 1000, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The management method for managing the user's game score using the game device 10 of the present invention described above,

[Authentication step]

For the purpose of the present invention, when a user enters the game space 30, the user authenticates the entry of the game space through the game management device.

At this time, authentication was performed by fingerprint recognition.

[Game device selection step]

The user who has passed the authentication step selects a game device according to the user's selection in a game space equipped with a plurality of game devices and a game management device connected to the game devices.

[Login step]

In order to play the arcade game on the first game device selected in the game device selection step, personal authentication is performed by fingerprint recognition.

At the same time as logging in to the first game device selected by the user through the log-in step, the user is prevented from duplicating log-in to other game devices.

[Personal information verification step]

In the log-in step, user information stored in the first game device is compared with information through personal authentication.

[Receiving step]

After the personal information confirmation step, the first storage unit of the first game device receives user information and game scores necessary for an arcade game.

After the personal information confirmation step and the receiving step, if it is confirmed that the user is the same as the user through pre-stored user information and authentication, the authenticated user information is received.

This is to prevent an administrator or a third party from using the game device 10 selected through user information and authentication.

If there is no accumulated game score of the user, the game score can be converted using cash (coins & money).
