Abstract

A gate control system includes an authentication device and a gate control device. The authentication device specifies a card number of a credit card of a user of a gaming facility, performs a credit inquiry of the credit card using the card number, and transmits permission information indicating that the gate should be opened to the gate control device when a result of the credit inquiry indicates that using the credit card is approved. Upon receiving the permission information from the authentication device, the gate control device opens the gate.
