GAME SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game system which causes no rise in the cost of a ball dispensing unit despite the collection of the amount of consumption duty corresponding to the amount of use fee and also despite one-time dispensing designed to be made when the ball dispensing unit receives the currency under the offline mode unready for a managing unit in a perfect ID management-based system. SOLUTION: When receiving the currency under the offline mode (S510), the ball dispensing unit 20 specifies the unit amount of use fee as a unit predetermined, the dispensing amount corresponding to an integral multiple of the unit amount including tax as a combined amount with the amount of consumption duty corresponding to the unit amount of use fee and the amount of odds less than the unit amount including tax (S514) from the amount of the currency received and carries out a ball dispensing processing for the dispensing amount specified (S515). When accepting the return operation, it records the amount of odds specified onto a visitor's token 5 to be discharged. The ball dispensing unit needs neither a change paying function for processing the amount of odds nor an additional payment receiving function. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
