POINT SYSTEM FOR GAME PARLOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a point system permitting points equivalent to those to regulars to be granted to quasi-regulars or players who are less enthusiastic about visiting the parlor. SOLUTION: The point system for a game parlor adds temporary points for browsing when players browse the parlor's web pages provided by the game parlor through the Internet, shifts the temporary points of the players to main points and make the main points exchangeable with prizes when the players visit the parlor within an effective period of the temporary points. Consequently, the players can save the temporary points if they browse the web pages but cannot acquire main points unless they visit the parlor. The point system can encourage the players to visit the parlor. Since the temporary points are cumulatively stored, if they visit the parlor's web pages on days when the temporary points have been accumulated, they can acquire more main points in accordance with the visits and can acquire points equivalent to regulars.
