  Thereafter, the control unit 20 determines whether two or more players remain (S31). Here, the remaining player indicates a state where “fold” is not selected in the input of the action.

  If the control unit 20 determines that two or more players do not remain (S31: NO), the process proceeds to step S44 described below. When it is determined that two or more players remain (S31: YES), the control unit 20 displays three hole cards on the screen as shown in FIG. 9 (S32).

  Thereafter, the control unit 20 of the parent device 2 transmits a request signal for play information to the child device 3 (S33). The slave 3 receives the request signal transmitted by the master 2 by the communication unit 33 (S34). After that, the control unit 30 executes the processing from steps S35 to S42. Here, the processing of steps S35 to S42 is the same as the processing of steps S25 to S32, and thus the details are omitted. In step S42, unlike the step S32, one hole card is additionally displayed on the already displayed card.

  After the processing of step S42, the control unit 20 of the parent device 2 determines whether or not play information has been received four times for each child device 3 operated by the player (S43). When determining that the play information has not been received four times (S43: NO), the control unit 20 returns the process to step S33.

  When determining that the play information has been received four times (S43: YES), the control unit 20 determines a winner in the game (S44). In the determination of the winner, when two or more players remain, the player who has made the strongest role among the roles defined in the role data 21b is the winner, and when two or more players do not remain, The remaining player is determined as the winner.
