In a collective control of plural game machines placed in the same parlor,
it is detected whether there is player change on each game machine and,
based on the detection result, the credit cumulative consumption on each
game machine is managed player by player. When the credit cumulative
consumption of a certain player reaches a predetermined upper limit,
payout return is executed to this player. The display status and
non-display status of information about the upper limit can be switched
depending on the play status. Therefore, the player can perform a game
without anxiety while enjoying amusement of the game. As the result, the
problem of missing customers is eliminated.
