GAME CONTROL DEVICE

The game control device of the present invention downloads the chip database at a specific timing from the server and stores it as offline data in the storage unit. When the chip communication unit has accessed the game chip, it is determined whether communication with the server is impossible, and communication cannot be performed. In the case of the game, the game chip is authenticated by referring to the offline data table. 本发明的游戏控制装置从服务器将芯片数据库以特定的时序下载并作为离线数据存储在存储部中，在芯片通信部已访问游戏用芯片时，判定对服务器的通信是否无法进行，在通信无法进行的情况下，参照离线数据表格，进行游戏用芯片的认证。
