A communication band of stores in which game terminals of network match type are installed is effectively utilized to prevent occurrence of a feeling of inequality between the stores. When a network match game is established between a game terminal in a store (A) and a game terminal in a store (B) via an external network, a master terminal is decided based on the master priorities (Mp) of the two game terminals. The master priorities are calculated according to the statuses of the stores. The calculation formula for determining the master priorities are so established as to balance the number of master terminals and the number of client terminals in the stores and/or effectively utilize the communication band of the communication lines of the stores. For example, the master priorities are calculated based on the number of master terminals and the number of client terminals in the stores, or based on the remaining portion of the communication band of the communication lines connecting the intra-store LANs to the external network. |
