<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce economic burden of a game hall introducing a game machine which enables a player to play a game using points already gained in earlier rounds. <P>SOLUTION: A CU (card unit) connected to a Pachinko machine (game machine) in which the points already gained in earlier rounds are used, memorizes a game ball number usable at the Pachinko machine. Information on an increased game ball number corresponding to prize winnings or the like and a decreased game ball number corresponding to shot game balls, is transmitted from the Pachinko machine to the CU every 200 ms. The CU which has received this information, updates the game ball number and memorizes it. The CU transmits, to the Pachinko machine, the point addition information for addition instruction of points corresponding to points to be added, and the Pachinko machine performs addition processing of a game ball number and returns operation response including an increased game ball number and a decreased game ball number resulted during the addition processing, and a game ball number after the addition processing. The CU updates a current game ball number based on the returned response including the increased game ball number and the decreased game ball number, and the addition requested game ball number, and checks whether its game ball number and the current game ball number included in the response from the Pachinko machine coincide with each other. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
