Here, the reward item may be defined by a predetermined reward rule, placement probability, and the like. Reward rules, placement probabilities, etc. of the reward items may be determined by a user having a predetermined authority, and may be changed based on a result of game execution by users. Reward rules and arrangement probabilities of the reward items may vary according to each level of the game player. A reward item may be expressed by including an item corresponding to a reward rule. For example, the visual data of the reward item may include identification information of the reward item and/or compensation rules such as +10, -10, and X5. Accordingly, compensation rules of +10, -10, and X5 may be applied to the rewards of connected items.

A rule for calculating a reward follows each reward rule of reward items, and each reward rule can be freely changed. Compensation rules may be set to be changeable for a limited time. Reward rules can be set to take account of the user's account's rank. The reward rule of the first level of the user account may be a higher multiple of the reward rule of the second level, which is higher than the first level. Reward rules can be set to take into account the user account's gaming history. The compensation rule may be set to a multiple higher than a multiple of a user who accesses a user account for which an access signal has not been generated during the first time most recently during the first time. A compensation rule may be calculated as a result of applying weight values to one or more input variables.

A reward rule may be set in consideration of an adjacent shape of the first reward items. For example, when a first number of first reward items are adjacent to each other in the game space, a reward for the first reward item may be calculated by reflecting a reward rule of the first reward item to the first number.

For one or more reward items existing in the game space, each reward is calculated, and the reward for the game space can be obtained by summing the rewards. For example, the reward of the game space may be obtained by adding the reward for the first reward item, the reward for the second reward item, and the reward for the third reward item. In another embodiment, the reward of the game space may be obtained by a relational expression using the reward for the first reward item, the reward for the second reward item, and the reward for the third reward item as variables. The reward calculated in this way may be accumulated in the user account and may be used in various ways within the game. For example, an item may be purchased using a reward, or an input right of a motion generating area and/or an input right of a motion generating area may be purchased. The gamer may purchase a change right to change the occurrence probability of the reward item using the reward. The gamer may purchase a change right to change the reward rules of the reward item using the reward. Input rights, change rights, items, and the like are contents usable in the game space, and may be checked in the user (gamer) account after purchase. The input right, change right, item, etc. may be transferred to another user account.

Here, the reward may include an item usable in a game space different from the corresponding game space. When a use input for a reward is acquired, the game space processing unit 230 may move to a virtual space where the reward can be used and display the game space.

After calculating the reward, the reward providing unit 240 may display animation effects implemented in numbers proportional to the reward.
