The information processing device includes an information medium processing part for transmitting and receiving game value information that can be used in a game to and from a portable information medium, and an interface for transmitting and receiving information to and from the gaming machine. The information medium processing part reads out first game value information given on the condition of exchange for a monetary value, capable of being used to play the game, and limited in cash conversion from the information medium as the game value information, provides the first game value information to the game, and restricts writing the first game value information read out from the information medium into the information medium as second game value information that can be converted into cash.

Information processing device, gaming machine, and game system

The present invention provides a terminal apparatus and an information management system that can facilitate to total sales and the like. A terminal apparatus communicably connected to a gaming machine in which a game can be played according to an inserted currency includes: a control device that executes an insertion process for converting an amount of the inserted currency into an amount of a specific currency based on a conversion rate for converting the amount of the inserted currency into the amount of the specific currency and a transmission device that transmits inserted currency information including currency information representing the type of the inserted currency and rate information representing the conversion rate used for conversion by the control device.

Terminal apparatus and information management system

An object of the present invention is to provide a management server which makes it possible to uniformly and rapidly limit the usage of a predetermined currency in a case in which currency handling systems including currency reading devices in each of which a wide variety of currencies are available are used. A slot machine management serverand a casino management systemmanage slot machinesS including currency handling systemsin each of which a wide variety of currencies are available. For example, when a currency used at any one of currency reading devicesof slot machinesS provided in areas A to D is determined as a $100 banknote with limited usage after a center controllerof the slot machine management serverreceives information which limits usage of the $100 banknote in the areas A to D of a map of a gaming facilityfrom an input unit, the center controllerof the slot machine management serversends a command to the currency reading devicethrough a PTS terminal. The command causes a process which discharges a used banknote T ($100 banknote) to be performed.
