To suppress a burden of a game parlor and introduce a cashless settlement.SOLUTION: A terminal device 110 of a game player generates information required for settlement as settlement data and encodes the data into a two-dimensional code and displays it (s1). An inter-machine card processor 10 acquires settlement data from the two-dimensional code (s2), performs correlation of machine data for identifying an own device (s3), and transmits the data to a card management device 40 (s4). The card management device 40 stores the received settlement data and machine data (s5), and transmits the settlement data to a settlement device 100 so as to perform settlement processing (s6). The settlement device 100 performs settlement on the basis of the settlement data and notifies of completion of settlement (s7). The card management device 40 that receives the notification performs a payment process of a settlement amount for the inter-machine card processor 10 specified by the corresponding machine data, grants prepaid value (s8), and notifies the inter-machine card processor 10 (s9). The terminal device 110 can also be notified (s10).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】遊技店の負担を抑制しつつ、キャッシュレス決済に対応すること。【解決手段】遊技客の端末装置１１０は、決済に必要な情報を決済データとして生成し、二次元コードに符号化して表示する（ｓ１）。台間カード処理機１０は、二次元コードから決済データを取得し（ｓ２）、自装置を識別する台データを対応付けて（ｓ３）、カード管理装置４０に送信する（ｓ４）。カード管理装置４０は、受信した決済データ及び台データを格納し（ｓ５）、決済データを決済装置１００に送信することで決済処理を行う（ｓ６）。決済装置１００は、決済データに基づいて決済を行って決済完了を通知する（ｓ７）。通知を受けたカード管理装置４０は、対応する台データによって特定した台間カード処理機１０について決済金額分の入金処理を行い、プリペイド価値を付与し（ｓ８）、台間カード処理機１０に通知する（ｓ９）。また、端末装置１１０にも通知可能である（ｓ１０）。【選択図】図１
