Abstract: An example of a server receives first event data from an information processing apparatus. The server stores therein event management data including event state information that indicates whether a second event has already occurred or has not yet occurred. When receiving a request from the information processing apparatus, the server transmits at least one piece of second event data to the information processing apparatus. The at least one piece of second event data includes second event data based on event management data in which the event state information indicates that the second event has already occurred and/or second event data to be transmitted when the second event data stored in the first storage area is insufficient. Upon receiving the third event data indicating that the second event has occurred, the server updates the event state information so as to indicate that the second event has already occurred.

Abstract: Disclosed is a game system which is capable of matching the replay range with the replay fee, even when the replay range is set to a portion of the played range. A game system allows a user to play the game in the predetermined range when an initial fee is collected from the user, and sets the play fee necessary for playing the game in the replay range according to the setting of the replay range. After the game is over in the predetermined range, the replay process is performed for allowing the user to play the game in the replay range, on the condition that the set play fee is collected from the user.
