Abstract
Abstract An image input section 1530 of a storage medium issuing system inputs image information and an image processing unit 420 performs image processing for the image information input through the image input section 1530. The image information processed by the image processing section is stored on a storage medium by an image write section 1500. When the storage medium on which the image information is stored is inserted into a gaming machine, the image information is read by a read section of the gaming machine. A game execution section of the gaming machine executes a predetermined game in accordance with image information concerning the game stored in a game image storage section. A display control section controls display of the image information read from the storage medium instead of reading a specific symbol among the image information stored in the game image storage section. For example, appearances of a player are input as image information, whereby the input player's appearances can be displayed in place of the specific symbol.
