Figure 12 is the synoptic diagram of the shown match picture of the step ST509 of the step ST203 of process flow diagram shown in Figure 8 and process flow diagram shown in Figure 10.The synoptic diagram of the match picture 410 that just, the board of touching is appended in the board object in one's hands, shows with upright board state.Being touched preceding picture with board here, is that the situation of match picture 400 shown in Figure 11 is that example describes.

At match picture 410, shown on the position identical that the button board is named and listens board key PBB, eats board key PBC, bumps board key PBD, thick stick board key PBE and board key PBF, continues key PBG, bids and change key PBH, name indicating part NP and wind font size PRM with match picture 400.And, on match picture 410, also shown a long-time consideration key TOB, then press this key TOB when touching the survival time that board allows to playing a card when the player need prolong, represent the RT of portion and show the survival time at the upside of touching board object 415 that board is touched in the expression of picture lower right side.Survival time represents that the RT of portion is presented on the position that is associated with player's hand board, for example, then shows with numeral when the remaining time of playing a card to player's decision is 5 seconds.Be to show by the variation that the numeral of " 5 ", " 4 ", " 3 ", " 2 ", " 1 ", " 0 " shows.Long-time consider that key TOB only just can accept the prolongation requirement in section during touch that board finishes to playing a card.

Figure 13 is the synoptic diagram of the shown match picture of the step ST513 of the step ST208 of process flow diagram shown in Figure 8 and process flow diagram shown in Figure 10.Just, press the synoptic diagram of the shown match picture 420 that comes out after the long-time consideration key TOB.Here, be that match picture 410 shown in Figure 12 is that example describes to press long-time consideration key TOB picture before.

At match picture 420, shown on the position identical that the button board is named and listens board key PBB, eats board key PBC, bumps board key PBD, thick stick board key PBE and board key PBF, continues key PBG, bids and change key PBH, considers key TOB, name indicating part NP and wind font size PRM for a long time with match picture 410.And the upside of touching board object 415 in the picture lower right side of match on the picture 420 is with showing that the survival time that the TT of the portion that represents that long-time consideration key is pressed has replaced Figure 10 represents the RT of portion.What long-time consideration key was pressed the TT of expression portion signal is to be pressed long-time consideration key TOB and prolonged the survival time by the player.And survival time of the binding hours after prolonging also remaining 5 seconds the time considers that for a long time key presses the numeral that the TT of expression portion then begins to carry out " 5 ", " 4 ", " 3 ", " 2 ", " 1 ", " 0 " and show.

Figure 14 is the synoptic diagram of the shown match picture of the step ST513 of the step ST208 of process flow diagram shown in Figure 8 and process flow diagram shown in Figure 10.The match picture 430 that will illustrate here is a picture of having represented the scene identical with match picture shown in Figure 13 420, it is shown picture on the watch-dog 11 of the employed customer's terminal equipment 1 of racer's (being meant that the name in the recreation is called the racer of " 777 " here) of player's seller.

On match picture 430, shown on the position identical that the button board is named and listens board key PBB, eats board key PBC, bumps board key PBD, thick stick board key PBE and board key PBF, continues key PBG, bids and change key PBH, name indicating part NP and wind font size PRM with match picture 420.

On match picture 430, the hand board object 431 of the object of expression player (name is called the player of " 777 ") hand board is to found the downside that the board state is presented at picture, and racer's hand board object 433 of the object of expression racer hand board is presented at the picture upside and the left and right sides with upright board state.And, on match picture 430, the central portion of picture also shown expression comprise single call trump the board that sequences heap board heap object 434 and be the object 432 of having a showdown of the expression object of having a showdown around board heap 434.Be called the picture left side of racer's hand board object 433 of " too youth " in the name of the racer who has shown the player whose turn comes next in recreation, show expression " in the consideration ... " with the TTH of expression portion in racer's consideration that the information that prolongs requirement is arranged.

Thus, because be that other racers have prolonged the survival time, the player then can know also easily and take turns less than oneself, thereby can learn it is the slow of the communication that causes owing to the load of network etc. clearly, still owing to racer's " in the consideration " cause slow.Therefore, can suppress effectively because of always also taking turns less than the own urgency that the occurs mood of making an uproar.

Figure 15 is the example of detail flowchart of the step ST421 processing procedure (games results evaluation) of step ST123 shown in Figure 7 and process flow diagram shown in Figure 9.The processing is here carried out by games results evaluation unit 1618 all.The number of times CNT that presses of long-time consideration key is stored in operation information storage element 1621, by games results evaluation unit 1618 it is read to go forward side by side to exercise and uses.

At first, judge long-time consider key press whether CNT=0 (step ST301) of number of times, if this judge by (step ST301 is YES) certainly, then counting of appointment is added to count upward (the step ST303) that institute holds an excellent chip, and turns back to master routine.If this judges is negated (step ST301 is NO),, from hold the counting of an excellent chip, deduct count (the step ST305) of appointment, and turn back to master routine according to the value of CNT.

In first embodiment, the access times of long-time consideration key are not applied restriction, suppose to consider for a long time that key can use repeatedly, just after game over, correspondingly deduct points.And access times of considering key for a long time etc. are stored in operation information storage element 1612.Such as, consider that for a long time key has used 1 time, do not deduct points (that is, deduction of points is 0 point) used 2 times, and 1000 points of then deducting points use 3 times, and 3000 points of then deducting points use 4 times, 5000 points of then deducting points.And used the situation more than 4 times for long-time consideration key, and if deduct points by rule as mentioned above, 5000 points of having been held when then having surpassed the recreation beginning, so, long-time consideration key can not be used.If consider from the viewpoint of carrying out smoothly of playing, if consider the hard-core words of the use of key for a long time, counting of being held during game over then becomes 0, and in the process of playing a game of recreation, also can cause other players' rashness, and make us unhappy.

And, as second embodiment, consider that key can only use 1 time for a long time in the playing a game of recreation if be defined in, so, the player then appends after game over and specifies the bonus points (such as 1000 points) of counting under the situation that does not have the long-time consideration of use key, making next recreation of participation become is more prone to, and under the situation of having used long-time consideration key, then not to the bonus point of being held of counting, also can not consider and continue to participate in next recreation.And if key is not considered in use for a long time, the continuation participation condition enactment that also continuation can be participated in next recreation is 0 piece of coin.

As mentioned above, in this first embodiment and second embodiment, be by customer's terminal equipment 1, according to player's games results, judge whether to allow to continue to participate in next recreation, and described processing can be undertaken also by shop server apparatus 2 or central server equipment 3.
