Can be ad text. The advertiser can also adjust the game's odds to match the quantity of the prize.

When the advertiser 400 registers a game, an ad text, and a prize with the operation server 200 through the above process, the operation server 200 provides a game to a user client connected to the operation server through the Internet. In addition, the operation server 200 registers by type of prizes or games provided to the mobile communication company server 500 for the user client using the wireless terminal (step S313), the mobile terminal user 500 in the mobile communication company server 500 The game is provided to the user (step S315).

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which a wireless terminal user performs a game using an advertisement system using a game and a prize according to the present invention.

When the advertisement of the advertiser, the details of the prize and the game are registered in the operation server and the game is provided to the wireless terminal user through the mobile communication server through the process as shown in FIG. 3, first, the wireless terminal user accesses the mobile communication server (step) S401).

After connecting to the mobile communication company server, the wireless terminal user moves to the game menu of the terminal and selects one of the provided games, and selects and moves a desired prize from among the prizes classified according to the type of prize (step S403).

The user who selects the type of game or the type of prizes selects an advertiser providing the prizes (step S405). For example, since games provided to the wireless terminal are classified according to the type of game, the type of prizes, and the advertiser, the user of the wireless terminal selects a name of a trade name or a product registered as an advertiser.

Therefore, the wireless terminal user has the advantage that the wireless terminal user can come to the game to check the probability of winning the prizes that can be obtained by the game before proceeding with the game.

Thereafter, the user of the wireless terminal proceeds to play the game through the terminal (step S409), and if the player wins the game, enters and registers his or her wireless terminal number (step S413).

Through this process, the operation server receives the information on the winner of the game from the mobile communication company server and provides a prize of the game to the corresponding user (steps S415, S417). In this case, the user of the wireless terminal changes the address when a change is made in the address registered in the mobile communication company server, and if the prize is not provided for a predetermined period, the corresponding advertiser is notified of the unsuccessful prize and the prize is given.
