Abstract: A game medium management system of the present invention allows the prevention of use of a forged game medium and enables track of missing game medium to be kept.

Abstract: To reduce monitoring staff and reduce cost by automating monitoring, a card game monitoring system is provided comprising: a wirelessly communicable, identifying information recording device 2 embedded in a card 7 for recording information for identifying a self; identifying information reading devices 3 provided at the card takeout slot 16 of a card distributor 15 in contact with the card 7 at the start of a game and in card distribution areas 18 of a card game table 17 in contact with the card 7 in the middle of the game, for reading by wireless communication the identifying information; a control device 4 for monitoring consistency between the identifying information read with the identifying information reading device 3 at the start of the game and the identifying information read likewise in the middle of the game by comparing both pieces of the identifying information; a notifying lamp 5 for issuing a notice of information inconsistency, if any; a recording device 6 for recording identifying information

Abstract: To prevent calculation errors and fraudulent acts and reduce cost by automatic monitoring, a wirelessly communicable game monitoring system 1 is provided, comprising: an identifying information recording device 2, attached to playing cards or the like, for recording their own identifying information, an identifying information reading device 3 for reading wirelessly the information recorded in the identifying information recording device 2; a control device 4 for performing various kinds of calculation or judgment required in the process of games on the basis of identifying information read with the identifying information reading device 3; and a display device 6 for displaying the results of the calculation or judgment made with the control device 4.

Abstract: An advertisement distribution system includes servers and a terminal. The servers prepare distribution information containing game information and advertisement information and transmits the prepared distribution information to the terminal. The terminal displays a game screen using the game information included in the distribution information, and also displays the advertisement information included in the distribution information on the game screen.

Abstract: A video game system includes hand-held player controllers operable by players to generate video game control signals, each hand-held player controller having a selectively driven vibration source arranged to generate vibrations for vibrating a housing thereof. A video game program executing system executes a video game program. The video game program executing system includes controller connectors which, in use, connect to the hand-held player controllers and a controller control circuit including a transmission circuit which transmits data to hand-held player controllers connected to the controller connectors.

Abstract: A game which two or more players can play, such as cards and mahjong, is played by connecting a home TV game machine with portable game machines having displays, where images for a common field are displayed on the TV, and private hands of a player, which should be concealed from the other players, are displayed only on a display of the player's local machine so that strategies an actual game is enjoyed. A plurality of portable game machines with displays are connected via a cartridge to a home TV game machine to which a ROM cassette is inserted for playing a game. The cartridge of which one end is inserted to the portable game machine for connection has a connection terminal on the other end, and the connection terminal and a controller connection terminal of the home TV game machine are connected with a communication cable.

Abstract: A controller pack includes a case and a lid detachably attached to the case, and the controller pack is detachably attached to an opening portion of a controller. A vibration source is fixed to the lid. When a specific CPU address and data are outputted from terminals, an electric power of a battery is applied to the vibration source by a driver circuit, and therefore, the vibration source generates a vibration. The vibration generated by the vibration source is conveyed from the lid to the controller, and then, to hands of a player grasping the controller.
