GAME SYSTEM

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/025703

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A safe game system capable of confirming a player's will of payment through a simplified operation. An electronic money terminal (EDYT1) connected to a game machine has an insertion space (601) and a credit button (602). Only when a player inserts an electronic money storage medium (EDY) into the insertion space and then pushes the credit button, the account balance of the electronic money is reduced. The credit button allows the player's will of starting the game to be confirmed, thereby preventing an unexpected reduction. There is also provided an account balance inquiry button (603) on the electronic money terminal.
