UNFAIR CONDUCT PREVENTING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A game score advantageous for a player is prevented from being exclusively transmitted to a host by the intention of the player. A game starting number (Ns) and a normally game ending number (Ne) are compared (S5). In case of coincidence failure of the two or in case the difference between the two exceeds "3", an anomaly signal is generated. On the basis of this anomaly signal, a game apparatus outputs an error screen or an alarm sound to notify (S6) that an unfair conduct has been did. This error notice stimulates the shame of the player so that it can be expected to lead to a prevention of a subsequent unfair conduct. On the basis of the anomaly signal generated, it is also possible to give a penalty to the score of a game to be subsequently played.
