Abstract
In a fee collection system a game machine as a charge collective apparatus is provided with a reader terminal for obtaining predetermined identification information from a card, and a reader control unit for outputting to a control board a signal equivalent to an output signal of a coin selector, wherein when a card ID is transmitted from the reader control unit, a management PC refers to charge setting data, determines the consumption amount of electronic money, and requests an account management server to process withdrawal of the consumption amount from an account of electronic money corresponding to the card ID. The management PC notifies the reader control unit the processing result transmitted from the account management server, and outputs to the control board a signal equivalent to the output signal of the coin selector when the withdrawal is successful.
