TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Generally, a game parlor has a plurality of game machines and at least one adjustment device to pay out a prize to a player for winning games based on the game result. In recent years, for such game parlors, a system has been proposed in which the score on game machine games is kept on a prepaid card having a data record function and information recorded on the card is read by an adjustment device for managing the game play situation or exchanging the card for a prize based on the information.
However, since the art requires that a player should buy the card to play a game, the player cannot play any game if he or she does not have ready money. If the player spends all his or her ready money, he or she cannot continue playing games although to make a profit, the game parlor wants for him or her to continue playing games if the player can pay a charge.

Each of the game machines can further include a credit medium read section for reading data recorded on the credit medium inside the slot.

The adjustment medium can be disposed on the packing device, for example.
The game machine can also be adapted to accept at least one of a bill, a coin, and a prepaid card for use. The discharge section can be adapted to discharge an empty packing device containing no credit medium.
Each of the packing devices can further include a device for sending a signal for detecting taking-out of the packing device to the outside of the game parlor.
The game parlor system of the invention can further include a detector for detecting the signal sent by the signal sending device and sensing taking-out of the packing device. In this case, the game parlor system can further include an alarm which, when the detector detects taking-out of the packing device, receives a detection signal thereof and gives an alarm.
