Player tracking device, gaming machine, and information terminal

The present invention provides an information display device which may simply display a defined information to improve the convenience. The information display device is able to read the member card having the member identification code, and access the member management server storing the plurality of information associated with the user, and display the plurality of information associated with the user. In the member management server, the plurality of information associated with the user is distinguished to be information not requiring to be authenticated and information requiring to be authenticated respectively and then is stored. The information display device acquires the information not requiring to be authenticated from the member management server according to the member identification code under the condition of reading the member card, and directly display the acquired information not requiring to be authenticated without being authenticated by the user.

Information display device

Provided is a player tracking device which is operable, even when an IC card is taken into a gaming machine while a player is playing a game, to read or write information from or to another IC card or the like through a simplified touch operation. The player tracking device includes: a card unit for storing information pertinent to a play outcome on the gaming machine in an IC card through wireless communication; and a touch unit for reading information from another IC card through the wireless communication.

Player tracking device and gaming machine

Provided is a game system in which when a bonus game or the like is conducted, linkage presentation using player tracking devices (PTS terminals) is performed over a plurality of gaming machines. Upon the occurrence of winning in the bonus game, a bonus servertransmits a bonus winning notification to a gaming machine in a bank in which a gaming machine having won therein is included. A PTS terminal of the gaming machine which has received the bonus winning notification transmits a linkage presentation start request to a gaming machine which operates as a presentation control server in the bank. The PTS terminal of the gaming machine which has received the linkage presentation start request broadcasts a linkage presentation execution request to a network segment of the bank. When respectively receiving the linkage presentation execution request, in response to the request, PTS terminals of gaming machines which operate as presentation execution clients perform presentation such as light emitting and sound outputting in a manner linked with one another in said bank.

Game system, player tracking device, gaming machine, and program

A gaming machine is provided, which includes an interface portion, a controller, a memory, a first power supply, and a second power supply. The interface portion is connected with at least one unit used for executing a game. The controller controls the unit connected to the interface portion and detects an occurrence of abnormal operation at the unit. The memory stores identification information for identifying the unit, and further stores historical information that includes information related to the occurrence of abnormal operation detected by the controller in connection with the identification information. The first power supply supplies a voltage required for operation of the controller. The second power supply supplies the voltage required for operation of the controller if a voltage supplied for the controller by the first power supply is less than the voltage required for operation of the controller.
