In other words, even if the selected mode is not the heaven mode, when the Gase effect lottery is won, a gaze effect may be performed that suggests that the selected mode is the heaven mode. .

  In the above embodiment, an example is described in which a normal gacha request is made and an indication that the mode is the heaven mode is performed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be suggested that the mode is the heaven mode before the normal gacha request is made, or after the normal gacha is requested, the suggestion may be made before the normal gacha is executed.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the characters and icons of “10 times gacha!” Are displayed in red when the selected mode is the heaven mode is described. Not limited. For example, the selected mode may be suggested by the background of the image when the character selected by gacha is displayed.

  Furthermore, the selected mode may be suggested by the fact that the sound when the normal gacha is executed is different from the normal sound, or the sound when the character is added is different from the normal sound.

  Further, for example, when the normal first character wins seven consecutive times in the normal gacha, the winning probability of the suggested lottery may be increased, or the winning of the suggested lottery may be confirmed.

  Further, when the user selects “10 times gacha!” Than when “1 time gacha!” Is selected, a mode advantageous to the user may be easily selected, and the number of ceilings is small. The number of times may be easily selected.

  In the above-described embodiment, the game medium is a character, but it may be a weapon or armor to be equipped on the character, a reinforcement material for strengthening the character, or the like.

  In the above embodiment, an example is described in which the second character is a super rare character, but the present invention is not limited to this. The second character may be, for example, an extremely rare character selected from a deck different from the first character, or may be an extremely rare character selected from the same deck as the first character.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the attribute was rarity, this invention is not limited to this. For example, a character having attributes such as a light attribute and a water attribute may be given to the user.

  In the above embodiment, the predetermined game condition is that the user acquires the super rare rare second character, but the present invention is not limited to this. Various conditions determined by the game management side can be set as the predetermined game conditions. For example, when the user acquires the normal first character 10 times continuously, a mode lottery or a lottery for the number of ceilings may be performed.

  In the embodiment, an example in which the mode once selected is not changed is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when a first character with low rarity in a normal gacha wins ten consecutive times, a mode promotion lottery or a demotion lottery may be performed.
