In the consumption consideration, charged items, non-charged items, friend points, etc. are described as the consideration necessary for executing the lottery game. It should be noted that the game operator can add a new character to the lottery target or delete some characters that are already the lottery target depending on the holding period even in the same lottery game.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the control means 42 has a function of advancing the game in accordance with an operation or the like by the player. In the first embodiment, the control means 42 uses the character owned by the player (owned character) and the character owned by another player (cooperating character) to determine the enemy character based on the player's execution request of the competitive game. Run a match-up game.

  In addition, from the viewpoint of urging the player to play the lottery game, the control unit 42 draws a lottery game in which the player's desired character is included in the lottery target in the battle game (quest) or a lottery game reserved by the player ( Hereinafter, it is preferable to preferentially make a character that is a lottery target of the “first specific lottery game” appear.

  The lottery means 44 executes the lottery game by consuming charged items, non-charged items, and friend points owned by the player based on the player's execution request for the lottery game, and executes the lottery target of the lottery game. It has the function of letting the player obtain it.

  From the viewpoint of urging the player to play the lottery game, the lottery means 44 executes the lottery game (first specific lottery game) in which the desired character designated by the player is included in the lottery target. It is preferable to let the player acquire the desired character. In the first embodiment, the lottery means 44 gives accumulation points based on that the desired character designated by the player has executed the lottery game (first specific lottery game) included in the lottery target, and the accumulation points are predetermined. When the value is reached, the player is caused to acquire the desired character.

  Further, from the viewpoint of urging the player to play the lottery game, the lottery means 44 executes the lottery game (first specific lottery game) when the player reserves the lottery game without designating a desired character. Based on this, it is preferable to let the player acquire a character of high rarity (eyeball character) among the lottery targets of the lottery game. For example, the lottery means 44 gives accumulated points based on the player having executed the reserved lottery game (first specified lottery game) without designating a desired character, and when the accumulated points reach a predetermined value. , The player is caused to acquire a character of high rarity among the lottery objects of the lottery game.

  In addition, from the viewpoint of giving the player motivation to specify the desired character, the lottery means 44 includes a lottery game (first specific lottery game) in which the desired character is included in the lottery target after the player specifies the desired character. It is preferable to make it easier to acquire the desired character as the period until () is held is longer. Specifically, in the lottery game, the lottery means 44 has a longer time from the date and time when the player specifies the desired character to the holding period (start date and time) of the lottery game in which the desired character is included in the lottery target. The lottery probability of the desired character is made higher than normal (the lottery probability in the lottery game information 40C). For example, when the lottery game in which the desired character is included in the lottery target is held for the first time within 31 to 60 days after the player specifies the desired character, the lottery means 44 determines the lottery probability of the desired character. If the lottery game is held for the first time within 61 to 90 days after the increase by 0.2%, the lottery probability of the desired character is increased by 0.3%. The lottery means 44 lowers the lottery probability of the remaining lottery target characters as the lottery probability of the desired character is increased in the lottery game.

  From the viewpoint of giving the player the motivation to reserve the lottery game, the lottery means 44 reserves the lottery game without the player designating the desired character, and then the lottery game (first specific lottery game). It is preferable to make it easier for the player to acquire a character of high rarity (eyeball character) among the lottery objects of the lottery game, the longer the period until is held. Specifically, the lottery means 44 is a lottery target of the lottery game in the lottery game, as the period from the time when the player reserves the lottery game to the holding period (start date and time) of the lottery game is longer. The lottery probability of the character of high rarity is made higher than normal (lottery probability in the lottery game information 40C). For example, when the lottery game is held for the first time within 61 to 90 days after the player reserves the lottery game, the lottery means 44 respectively sets the lottery probabilities of all the characters having a rarity of 5 or more to 0.1. %, And when the lottery game is held for the first time within 91 to 120 days, the lottery probability of all characters having a rarity of 5 or more is increased by 0.2%. In addition, the lottery means 44 lowers the lottery probability of the remaining lottery target characters as the lottery probability of the high rarity character in the lottery game is increased.

  Further, from the viewpoint of giving the player motivation to specify the desired character, the longer the holding interval of the lottery game (first specific lottery game) in which the desired character designated by the player is included in the lottery target, the longer the interval. It is preferable that the player can easily obtain the desired character. Specifically, the lottery means 44 has a lottery game in which the desired character of the player is included in the lottery target as the holding interval (for example, the difference between the latest holding period and the next holding period) of the lottery game is longer. In (1), the lottery probability of the desired character is made higher than normal (lottery probability in the lottery game information 40C). For example, the lottery means 44 increases the lottery probability of the desired character by 0.2% when the holding interval of the lottery game is every one month, and when the interval is two months, the lottery probability of the desired character is 0. Increase by 3%. The lottery means 44 lowers the lottery probability of the remaining lottery target characters as the lottery probability of the desired character is increased in the lottery game.

  From the viewpoint of giving the player the motivation to reserve the lottery game, the longer the holding interval of the lottery game (first specific lottery game) reserved without the player designating the desired character, the longer It is preferable to make it easier for the player to acquire a character of high rarity (eyeball character) among the lottery objects of the lottery game. Specifically, the lottery means 44 determines the lottery as the holding interval (for example, the difference between the latest holding period and the next holding period) of the lottery game reserved by the player without designating the desired character is longer. In the game, the lottery probability of the high-rarity character that is the lottery target of the lottery game is made higher than normal (lottery probability in the lottery game information 40C). For example, the lottery means 44 increases the lottery probability of all characters having a rarity of 5 or more by 0.1% when the holding interval of the lottery game is every 2 months, and increases the rarity of 5 when the interval is 3 months. The lottery probabilities of all the above characters are increased by 0.2%. In addition, the lottery means 44 lowers the lottery probability of the remaining lottery target characters as the lottery probability of the high rarity character in the lottery game is increased.

  From the viewpoint of urging the player to play the lottery game, the lottery means 44 executes the lottery game (first specific lottery game) in which the desired character designated by the player is included in the lottery target. It is preferred to reduce the consideration required to carry out. For example, when the player's desired character executes the lottery game included in the lottery target, the lottery means 44 normally determines the number of charged items or non-charged items required for executing the lottery game (consumption consideration in the lottery game information 40C. ) Less than. In addition, from the viewpoint of urging the player to play the lottery game, the lottery means 44 normally pays the consideration required for executing the lottery game when the player reserves the lottery game (first specific lottery game). It is preferable to make it smaller than (consumption consideration in the lottery game information 40C). For example, the lottery means 44, when executing the lottery game reserved by the player, reduces the number of billing items required to execute the lottery game.

  In addition, from the viewpoint of urging the player to play the lottery game, the lottery means 44 gives the player the holding period of the lottery game (first specific lottery game) in which the desired character designated by the player is included in the lottery target. It is preferable to enlarge it. Further, it is preferable that the lottery means 44 extend the holding period of the lottery game (first specific lottery game) reserved by the player without designating the desired character, to the player. For example, in the lottery means 44, the holding period of the lottery game reserved by the player without designating the desired character is usually 3 days (held period common to each player), but 5 days for the player. Expand to.

  Further, from the viewpoint of urging the player to play the lottery game, the lottery means 44 gives the player the holding interval of the lottery game (first specific lottery game) in which the desired character designated by the player is included in the lottery target. On the other hand, it is preferable to set it short. Further, it is preferable that the lottery means 44 sets the holding interval of the lottery game (first specific lottery game) reserved by the player without designating the desired character to be short for the player. For example, the lottery means 44 sets the holding interval of the lottery game in which the player's desired character is included in the lottery target to be one month for the player, usually (every two-month holding interval). Change every time. Since the lottery means 44 sets the holding interval of the certain lottery game to be short for all the players who have reserved the certain lottery game, the game operator has to set the holding interval to all the players who have made the reservation. It is possible to announce the holding of a lottery game all at once.

  The accepting unit 46 has a function of accepting designation of a desired character that the player desires to acquire, in response to an operation from the player.

  The notification means 48 has a function of notifying the player that the desired character can be acquired in the lottery game in association with the holding of the lottery game (first specific lottery game) in which the player's desired character is included in the lottery target. Have. Further, the notification means 48 notifies the holding of the lottery game in association with the holding of the lottery game (first specific lottery game) reserved by the player.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the detailed information screen 50 is provided with a lottery target character information area 52, a character detail display button 54, a desired character designation button 56, and a lottery game reservation button 58. In the lottery target character information area 52, an image showing the lottery target character of the lottery game and the lottery probability of the character are arranged. The character detail display button 54 is arranged in association with each lottery target character. When the character detail display button 54 is pressed, a transition (guidance) is made to the screen displaying the maximum value of the ability parameter of the associated character, and the player determines whether or not he / she wants to acquire the character. You can The desired character designation button 56 is arranged in association with each of the lottery target characters. The lottery game reservation button 58 is a button for reserving a lottery game (lottery game B) whose detailed information is shown. When the lottery game reservation button 58 is pressed, the player can reserve the associated lottery game (set it as a reserved lottery game) without designating a desired character.

  The desired character designation button 56 is in an inactive (unpressable) form (gray-out, etc.) when the associated character is already designated as the player's desired character, and the desired character cannot be designated. Shown. On the other hand, the desired character designating button 56 is shown in an active (pressable) form, as the desired character can be designated if the associated character is not yet designated as the player's desired character.

  The lottery game reservation button 58 functions as a button for canceling the reservation of the lottery game when the associated lottery game (lottery game B) has already been set in the reserved lottery game information of the player.

  Returning to FIG. 5, after outputting the detailed information screen to the terminal device 12, the processing shifts to the processing of step SP14.

(Step SP14)
The accepting unit 46 determines whether or not the player has pressed the desired character designation button (operation instruction) while the detailed information screen is output to the terminal device 12. Then, if the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP16. On the other hand, if the result of the judgment is negative, the procedural steps proceed to step SP20.

(Step SP16)
The control means 42 designates (registers) the character associated with the desired character designation button pressed in step SP14 as the desired character. In other words, the control means 42 describes, in the desired character information of the player information 40A of the player, the character ID of the specified desired character and the date and time when the desired character specification button was pressed. Then, the process proceeds to the process of step SP18.

(Step SP18)
The control means 42 reserves the lottery game in which the desired character is a lottery target based on the designation of the desired character in step SP16. In other words, the control means 42 presses the lottery game IDs of all lottery games in which the desired character designated in step SP16 is included in the lottery target in the reserved lottery game information of the player information 40C of the player, and the desired character designating button. Describe the date and time when the job was In this case, the control means 42 refers to the lottery information of each lottery game of the lottery game information 40C to obtain the character ID of each of the lottery target characters, and when the character ID and the character ID of the desired character match, The lottery game ID corresponding to the lottery information is described in the reserved lottery game information. Thereby, even if there are a plurality of lottery games in which the designated desired character can be obtained, the player can be notified as the plurality of lottery games are held, as will be described later. Then, the series of processing illustrated in FIG. 5 ends.

(Step SP20)
The accepting means 46 determines whether or not the player has pressed the lottery game reservation button (operation instruction) while the detailed information screen is being output to the terminal device 12. Here, when the player presses an area other than the lottery game reservation button, the acceptance means 46 makes a negative determination in the determination. Then, when the determination is affirmative, the process proceeds to the process of step SP22. On the other hand, when the determination is negative, the series of processing illustrated in FIG. 5 ends.

(Step SP22)
The control means 42 describes, in the reserved lottery game information of the player information 40C of the player, the lottery game ID of the one lottery game instructed in step SP10 and the date and time when the lottery game reservation button was pressed. Then, the series of processing illustrated in FIG. 5 ends.

<Process flow for competitive game>

This process is started, for example, when the player selects the currently-held lottery game C (second specific lottery game) in the lottery game menu.

(Step SP100)
The lottery means 44 refers to the selected character information and the opponent character information in the player information 40A of the player, and the number of selections and the number of competitions for each lottery target character of the second specific lottery game (lottery game C) selected by the player, and , The total number of selections (the total number of times each lottery target of the second specific lottery game has been selected) and the total number of battles (total number of battles with each lottery target of the second specific lottery game). Then, the process proceeds to the process of step SP102.

(Step SP102)
The lottery means 44 acquires the lottery probability for each lottery target character of the second specific lottery game (lottery game C) by referring to the lottery information of the lottery game information 40C. Then, the lottery means 44 sets (changes) the lottery probability for each lottery target character of the second specific lottery game (lottery game C) based on the acquired lottery probability and the number of selections and the number of competitions obtained in step SP100. To do. For example, when the lottery probability of the lottery target character (for example, the character X) of the second specific lottery game (lottery game C) described in the lottery information is 1.2%, the lottery means 44 selects the lottery target character. If the number of selections or the number of competitions is 10 to 19, the lottery probability is increased by 0.1% to 1.3%, and if it is 20 to 29, it is increased by 0.2%. If it is 30% or more, it is increased by 0.3% to 1.5%.

  Further, the lottery means 44, instead of increasing the lottery probability of the lottery target character, a lottery in which the number of selections and the number of competitions are both 0 to 9 among the lottery target characters of the second specific lottery game (lottery game C). Decrease the lottery probability of the target character. In other words, when the total of the lottery probabilities of each lottery target in the second specific lottery game (lottery game C) temporarily exceeds 100%, the lottery means 44 causes the number of selections and the number of competitions to both be 0-9. The lottery probability of the lottery target is decreased so that the total of the lottery probabilities of each lottery target in the second specific lottery game (lottery game C) is adjusted to 100%. For example, the lottery means 44 sequentially selects the lottery probability from a character having a high lottery probability (for example, a character with a low rarity having a lottery probability of 2% or more) among the lottery objects whose selection count and competition count are both 0 to 9. It is lowered by a predetermined value (for example, 0.1%). Then, the process proceeds to the process of step SP104.

(Step SP104)
The lottery means 44 acquires the consumption consideration of the second specific lottery game (lottery game C) with reference to the lottery game information 40C. Then, the lottery means 44 determines the second specific lottery game (lottery) based on the obtained consumption consideration and the total number of selections (total number of selections) and total number of battles (total number of battles) acquired in step SP100. Set (change) the consideration required to execute the game C). For example, the lottery means 44, when the consumption consideration of the second specific lottery game (lottery game C) is 10 charged items, when the total number of selections or the total number of competitions is 100 to 199, The consumption consideration is decreased by 1 to make 9 charging items, and when it is 200 or more, the consumption consideration is decreased by 2 to make 8 charging items.

(Step SP106)
By transmitting the screen data to the terminal device 12, the control means 42 displays an image showing the lottery target character whose lottery probability has increased in step SP102, and the price required to execute the second specific lottery game set in step SP104. A lottery game execution screen including (for example, eight billing items) and a lottery execution button is output to the terminal device 12. On the lottery game execution screen, in response to the player pressing the lottery execution button (accepting the execution request), the process proceeds to the process of step SP108.

(Step SP108)
The lottery means 44 subtracts the consideration necessary for executing the second specific lottery game set in step SP104 from the content owned by the player (for example, the charging item), and selects one character from the lottery target of the second specific lottery game. A lottery is performed to allow the player to acquire the one character. Specifically, the lottery means 44 performs a lottery based on the lottery probability for each lottery target character set in step SP102, and makes one of the drawn lottery characters a player-owned character.
