Game system and replacement part

The present invention provides a game system in which a maintenance property of a game part of a game machine is improved. A game part D has a replacement determination deviceand a replacement information output device. The replacement determination devicemeasures a parameter indicating a used amount of the game part D in a game, accumulates a value of the measured parameter RD, specifies a wearing level of a consumable itemof the game part D based on the determined accumulation value, and checks the specified wearing level to a criterion wearing level to determines whether or not it is replacement time to replace the consumable item. When the replacement determination devicedetermines that it is the replacement time, the replacement information output deviceoutputs replacement information to a game machine main body K. The game machine main body K has replacement processing device. The replacement processing deviceperforms a process concerning the replacement of the consumable itemof the game part D which has output the obtained replacement information.
