ABSTRACT:
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 device35and a replacement information output device32. The replacement determination device35measures 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 item38of 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 item38. When the replacement determination device35determines that it is the replacement time, the replacement information output device32outputs replacement information to a game machine main body K. The game machine main body K has replacement processing device27. The replacement processing device27performs a process concerning the replacement of the consumable item38of the game part D which has output the obtained replacement information.
