Abstract: There is stored in a storage device a conversion coefficient for correcting the difference between payment methods with respect to the correlation between the unit for enumerating a consumption amount and monetary value and treating the consumption amount of monetary value of each payment method as an enumerated value in the same unit system. Obtained from a payment apparatus is consumption record data where the consumption amount of monetary consumption by a user is represented by the number of units for each payment method. Calculated is an enumerate value corresponding to the consumption amount of each payment method based on the consumption amount of each payment method included in the consumption record data and the conversion coefficient. Based on the enumerated value obtained for each payment method and a predetermined unit price, calculated is a counter value to be charged from the first party to the second party.

Abstract: Provided is a game machine which can actualize a play between games having different difficulty levels. The game machine is applied to a game system that progresses a game between game machines connected via a network.
