Abstract
Provided is a system that is capable of adding a multi-currency function to an existing ticket/cashless server. The system according to the present application communicates information to issue a barcode ticket for taking out a credit from a gaming machine via a path connected with a game controller and, in the case of receipt of a bill, sends information on the bill to the ticket/cashless server via a path different from the path.
Claims7
A multi-currency system comprising:
- an issuance system including a gaming machine in which a game controller performs game processing;
- an issuance server which communicates information to issue a barcode ticket for taking out a credit from the gaming machine via a first path connected with the game controller;
- and
- a reception system for receiving a bill to perform the game processing in the gaming machine,
- wherein, in the case of reception of a bill in the currency of a first country, 1) the reception system converts the amount of the bill in the currency of the first country to an amount in the currency of a second country and sends information as to the amount of the bill in the currency of the second country to a reception server via a second, non-transit path, which is different from the first path and which does not go through the game controller, and
- 2) the reception server sends the information as to the amount of the bill in the currency of the second country to the issuance server.

A multi-currency system comprising:
- an issuance system including a gaming machine in which a game controller performs game processing and an issuance server for communicating information to issue a barcode ticket for taking out a credit from the gaming machine, the issuance server communicating information via a first, transit path which goes through the game controller;
- and
- a reception system for receiving a bill to perform the game processing in the gaming machine, the reception system being connected to the issuance server in a manner such that when a bill is received by the reception system, information as to the amount of the bill is sent to a reception server via a second, non-transit path which does not pass through the game controller and the reception server sends the information as to the amount of the bill to the issuance server,
- wherein the reception system is configured to accept bills in the currency of a first country and bills in the currency of a second country,
- wherein, in the case of reception of a bill in the currency of the first country, the reception system sends information as to the amount of the bill in the currency of the first country to the reception server via the second non-transit path and the reception server sends the information as to the amount of the bill in the currency of the first country to the issuance server, and
- wherein, in the case of reception of a bill in the currency of the second country, the reception system sends information as to the amount of the bill in the currency of the second country to the reception server via the second, non-transit path and the reception server sends the information as to the amount of the bill in the currency of the second country to the issuance server.
