Abstract
A plurality of programs (a plurality of games) are provided, which are classified so as to each belong to one of a plurality of channels (a plurality of game groups). When a player plays one of the programs, predetermined points in accordance with the playing result are added to channel points for the channel to which the program belongs. Stipulated points are prescribed for each program. When the channel points for the channel to which a program belongs has become equal to or greater than the stipulated points for the program, the program is newly added to the TV program table (game selection screen). As a result, new games are allowed to appear on the game selection screen with various timings and in various orders.
