Claim:
1. A system for providing a marble game, the system comprising: a game database to store data related to a plurality of characters, a plurality of city blocks, a color assigned to each of the plurality of city blocks, a toll levied corresponding to each of the plurality of city blocks, and a game board formed by aligning the plurality of city blocks; a network connection server to connect a first terminal and a second terminal in conjunction with a request to participate in a game, extract a first character corresponding to the first terminal and a second character corresponding to the second terminal from the game database, and provide the first character, the second character, and a screen related to the game board to the first terminal and the second terminal; a dice button to roll a dice to move the characters on the plurality of city blocks, when activated for an activation time; a gauge control to measure the activation time of the dice button; and a marble game server in communication with the network connection server and the gauge control to determine a city block landed on by the first character in the plurality of city blocks to be an occupied city block associated with the first terminal, and sets n occupied city blocks of the same color as an occupied city block group, where n is an integer number greater than or equal to 3, wherein the marble game server controls a resulting value of said rolling of the dice based on the activation time of the dice button measured by the gauge control, wherein the resulting value of said rolling of the dice is higher when the activation time is longer and lower when the activation time is shorter, wherein the marble game server calculates an amount to be paid by the second character to the first character by applying a first weight to a toll obtained from the game database corresponding to the occupied city block when a block landed on by the second character in the plurality of city blocks is an occupied city block of the first terminal included in the occupied city block group and, wherein the marble game server determines, relating to the first terminal, the first terminal to be a winner of the marble game when a number of occupied city blocks of the first terminal is determined to reach a predetermined value, or every city block defined as a tourist site is occupied.
