摘要

A prize-obtaining game system utilizing a communication network where a prize-obtaining game in a game center may be virtually enjoyed on a personal computer, and an obtained prize may be surely handed to a player without being out of stock. When a host computer (2) connected to many player terminals (4) via the communication network (6) receives a game-start notification from the terminal (4), the host computer: acquires an allottable number of virtual prizes for the terminal (4) based on an actual-prize stock information from a database; allots the virtual prizes with a predetermined number, equal to or less than the allottable number, as an actual allotted number; and permits the terminal (4) to start the game. The actual allotted number is subtracted from the allottable number. With the game-end notification from the terminal (4), the computer (2) registers an obtained number of the virtual prizes to the database, and adds the unobtained number to the allottable number so that it becomes an allottable number to be used hereafter.
