To provide an inexpensive game system which can efficiently perform ball store service with sufficient convenience.
Store ball information managed by a central control device is output according to a sending request from a terminal hall system and is received by the terminal hall system of the request source. The received store ball information is not output to the central control device until reception (S111) of the store ball information requirement command is recognized. Therefore, in the terminal hall system, even if the store ball information is updated according to values input by a player, the updated result is not transmitted to the central control device for every updating. Therefore, the number of informational transmissions (traffic) can be reduced, and a system which can utilize store ball information by plural terminal hall systems (area) can be built at low cost though large-scale communication equipment or an expensive computer system for carrying out high-speed processing of a vast quantity of data is not introduced.
