Game medium exchange device

A game medium exchange device for exchange between game media each having a currency value, the game medium exchange device comprising:

• a display device;
• an arranging mechanism comprising a horizontally disposed planar game media arrangement surface configured to receive game media directly thereon, and configured to hold the game media in such a manner that the game media divided into groups are arrangeable relative to each of respective horizontally disposed separate sections of a plurality of horizontally disposed separate sections of the game media arrangement surface;
• a plurality of separate horizontally disposed antennas arranged relative to the horizontally disposed planar game media arrangement surface such that each separate antenna is associated with a separate one of each of the plurality of the horizontally disposed separate sections;
• an information acquiring mechanism configured to acquire game medium information including the currency values of the game media arranged relative to each of the respective horizontally disposed separate sections;
• and
• a control device configured to obtain a separate total amount of the currency value acquired by the information acquiring mechanism for each of the plurality of horizontally disposed separate sections, and to display each separate total amount on the display device, wherein,
• the game media include a convertible game medium exchangeable for currency, and an inconvertible game medium unexchangeable for currency, and,
• the control device displays the separate total amounts of the currency value on the display device in association with the convertible game medium and the inconvertible game medium.
