PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce economical burden on a game hall in the case of introducing game machines adopting a point award system.SOLUTION: A CU (card unit) connected to an S table (slot machine) adopting a point award system stores awarded points usable for games on the S table. Information on the number of increased point due to a prize etc. and the number of decreased points due to bet setting are transmitted every 200 ms. The CU receives the information to update and store the number of awarded points. By execution of a recovery process resolving a communication failure state occurring between the CU and the S table, recovery data with which a change amount in game data in the S table may be identified is transmitted to the CU.
