When the user performs an operation of designating at least one game content on the game device 5, the selecting unit 235 selects the designated at least one game content as a rental game for the user (first user). Select as medium.

Then, the selection unit 235 associates the identification information of the user (first user) with the information about the selected rental game medium and the identification information of the other user who owns the rental game medium in the user DB 221. As a result, the user is in a state of renting the designated game content from another user.

The management unit 236 manages and updates the lottery list 222 for each user according to the user DB 221. For example, when account information is issued to a new user and the number of records in the user DB 221 increases, the management unit 236 allocates the initial lottery list 222 of FIG. 3 corresponding to the account information and stores it in the storage unit 22. Let

In particular, the management unit 236 of the present embodiment updates the lottery list 222 by changing the selection ratio in the corresponding lottery list 222 according to various information in the user DB 221. This processing will be described in detail in <Regarding update processing of lottery list 222>.

When the same game content as the rental game content that the user (the first user) has rented in the present and the past is selected in the lottery process according to the operation of the user, the privilege granting means 237 rents the same. A privilege is given to another user (second user) who is the owner of the game medium. As a privilege, a virtual currency that can be used only in the virtual game space, a currency that can be used in the real world, a corporate currency, a character that can be used in the game, an item (for example, an item that enhances the rental game medium), and a voice of the character. , New skills (skills) that can be used during the battle.

Note that the user can abandon the game content that he/she owns (that is associated with his/her identification information) (cancel the association with his/her identification information). Here, at the time when the same game content as the rental game content is selected by the lottery process based on the operation of the user (first user) at the time of granting the above-mentioned privilege, another user (owner of the rental game content) ( It is necessary that the second user) is in a state of owning the rental game medium (a state in which the rental game medium is associated with the identification information of another user).

When another user consumes or discards a rental game medium that is being rented by another user (first user), the association between the information regarding the rental game medium and the identification information of the other user is canceled. Therefore, in this case, no privilege is given to other users.

Further, the privilege giving means 237 changes the contents of the privilege to be given according to the contents of the user DB 221. This process will be described in detail in <Game medium parameter and privilege change process>.

<Structure of game device 5>

In response to the rental request, the notification control unit 563 causes the display 61 to display the screen sc3 of FIG. 5 in which each of the game content candidates for the rental game content can be selected.

Further, when the same game content as the rental game content that the user (first user) has rented is selected by the lottery process, the notification control in the game device 5 of the owner (second user) of the rental game content. The means 563 causes the display 61 to display the screen sc4 of FIG. 6 and outputs a sound from the speaker 62 so that the owner can be informed of that fact.

<Regarding the update process of the lottery list 222>
Using a game medium such as a character having a high level or having a special skill in a quest often works in favor of clearing the quest. Therefore, the user (first user) draws a gacha aiming to select such a game content in the lottery process. However, since the selection ratio of such a game medium is generally set low, it is often difficult to obtain the game medium, which may be one of the factors that fuel the user's aspiration.

On the other hand, as described above, the log information of which game medium owned by another user is used as the rental game medium each time the game (quest) is executed according to the user's operation is stored in the server device 2. It is stored in the user DB 221.

Therefore, in the game system 1 of the present embodiment, when changing the selection ratio in the lottery list 222, by effectively using the user DB 221 which is the log information, it is possible to suppress the aspiration of the user. It has improved the user's interest in the game.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the user DB 221 stores the number of times the current and past rental game contents have been used up to the present time. The number of times of use is incremented by the management unit 236 every time the game device 5 sends information indicating that the game (quest) is executed using the rental game content.

The management means 236 refers to this user DB 221, and every time the number of times each rental game medium has been used reaches any one of the predetermined number of times set in advance, for example, a lottery list of users (first users) who have reached the predetermined number of times. Of 222, the selection ratio of the rental game content selected as the game content is increased. FIG. 7 shows an example of the lottery list 222 after the selection ratio has been changed.

In FIG. 7, since the number of times the rental game medium “character A” is used exceeds the first predetermined number (30 times) and the number of times the rental game medium “character B” is used exceeds the second predetermined number (10 times). The selection ratios of the character A and the character B are increased by "10%" and "5%" from the initial state of FIG.

That is, as shown in FIG. 8A, as the number of times the rental game content is used increases, the selection ratio of the same game content as the rental game content selected in the lottery process increases. In the present embodiment, for example, a case where the selection ratio is increased stepwise according to the number of times of use is illustrated.

In addition, in the rental game medium that has been used up to now in the game device 5 of the user (first user), the third predetermined number of times in which the number of times of use is larger than the first and second predetermined times (for example, It is assumed that the first predetermined condition that there is a rental game content that has reached 400 times) is satisfied. In this case, the management unit 236 selects the same game content as the rental game content that has been used more than a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) and has not yet been selected in the lottery process, out of the rental game contents so far. As described above, the selection ratio of each game content is changed.

At this time, in the lottery list 222, the total value of the selection ratios of the respective game contents becomes 100%, and the selection of the game contents other than the relevant game contents (that is, the game contents which have been used a predetermined number of times or less or already selected) All percentages are changed to 0%.

In addition, in a rental game medium that has been used up to now in the game device 5 of the user (first user), a fourth predetermined number of times (for example, the number of times of use is greater than the first and second predetermined times). It is assumed that the second predetermined condition that there is a rental game content that has reached 300 times) is satisfied. In this case, the management unit 236 changes the selection ratio of each of the game contents so that any one of the same game contents as the rental game contents up to now is selected in the lottery process.

At this time, in the lottery list 222, the total value of the selection ratios of the respective game contents is 100%, and all selection ratios other than the game contents (that is, game contents that the user has not rented until now) are all selected. It will be changed to 0%.

In addition, in the rental game medium that has been used in the game device 5 of the user (first user) so far, the fifth predetermined number of times (for example, 500) that is used more than the first to fourth predetermined times. It is assumed that the third predetermined condition that there is one that has reached the number of times) is satisfied. In this case, the management unit 236 changes the selection ratio of the game content so that the same game content as the rental game content that has been used the fifth predetermined number of times is selected in the lottery process.

At this time, in the lottery list 222, only the selection rate of the game content is 100%, and the selection rates of the other game content are all changed to 0%.

By the update processing of the lottery list 222 described above, in the lottery processing using the updated lottery list 222, it is easier to select the same game content as the rental game content up to now in the lottery processing compared to the previous lottery processing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user's motivation from being motivated by the acquisition of the game content, and the interest of the game is improved.

In particular, when the number of times the rental game content is used reaches any of the third to fifth predetermined times, which is larger than the first and second predetermined times, the user selects the same game content as the rental game content by lottery. You can draw a "special gacha" with a significantly higher chance of being hit.

The server device 2 appropriately distributes events of various gachas. Depending on the content of the event, the type of game content selected by lottery may be limited to a specific type. In this case, the lottery list 222 does not always include the same game content as the rental game content. Therefore, when the same game content as the rental game content is included in the lottery list 222, the management unit 236 performs the above-described update processing of the lottery list 222.

<About game media parameters and privilege change processing>
By the update processing of the lottery list 222 described above, the number of cases in which the same game medium as the rental game medium having rental experience is selected by lottery as the specific game medium is increased. This is pleasing to the user (first user) who has rented the game content from another user so far, but has little connection with the other user (second user) who is the lending side of the rental game content. Could be.

Therefore, when the specific game content is selected by the lottery process, the server device 2 of the present embodiment selects the same rental game content as the specific game content based on the user DB 221 that also indicates the connection with other users so far. The other user who has lent so far is specified. The notification control means 563 of the game device 5 of the other user performs control to notify that the user has acquired the specific game content (screen sc4 in FIG. 6). Then, the privilege granting means 237 of the server device 2 grants a privilege such as virtual currency to the other user.

At that time, the privilege granting means 237 changes the content of the privilege according to the number of times the rental game medium is used. For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the game device 5 of the user who has acquired the specific game content, the more the number of times the rental game content that is the same as the specific game content has been used so far, , Increase the amount of virtual currency to be given to other users than usual, or increase the rarity of the game medium to be given to higher than usual.

This allows the user to report and thank the other user who owns the rental game medium that he/she has finally obtained the specific game medium. It can be continued in a simple state.

On the other hand, the lottery execution means 233 that has selected the specific game content by the lottery process determines the parameter of the specific game content according to the number of times that the user who obtained the specific game content has used the same rental game content up to this point. Change. For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the lottery execution means 233 increases the degree of parameter change of the specific game content as the number of times the rental game content is used. The parameter changes include level up, skill up, and skill increase.

In this case, the user can advantageously proceed with the game by using the specific game content having the changed parameters.

<Operation flow of game system 1>
-Process flow during quest execution-
FIG. 9 mainly shows the flow of the operation of the game system 1 during quest execution.

When the information processing unit 231 of the server device 2 receives the quest execution request and the rental request from the game device 5 operated by the user (step st11), the selection unit 235 causes the selection unit 235 to be a candidate for a rental game medium from the user DB 221. Information about the medium is read (step st12). The candidate game contents are appropriately selected from the game contents owned by other users.

The information processing unit 231 transmits the read information about the game content to the game device 5 that is the transmission source of the quest execution request (step st13). When the communication unit 561 of the game device 5 receives this, the notification control unit 563 displays the received information about the game content on the display 61 as shown in the screen sc3 of FIG. 5 (step st14).

When an operation of designating a game content desired to be rented is performed through the touch pad 63 from the information about the game content on the screen sc3, the operation unit 54 accepts the designation input of the game content. The communication unit 561 transmits information about the designated game content to the server device 2 (step st15).

When the information processing means 231 of the server device 2 receives the information about the game content, the selection means 235 selects the game content as a rental game content (step st16). At this time, the selection unit 235 determines that, in the user DB 221, the user ID of the user who operates the touch pad 63 is not associated with the information about the rental game content and the lender ID (other user ID) thereof ( That is, when the user rents the specified rental game medium for the first time), the association is performed.

When the game execution means 562 of the user's game device 5 executes the quest and the quest ends, the fact is transmitted from the game device 5 to the server device 2, and the rental game medium used in the quest is the owner of the rental game medium. Is returned to another user (step st17). The management unit 236 of the server device 2 that has received the notification that the quest has ended updates the user DB 221 by incrementing the number of times the rental game content is used in the corresponding record in the user DB 221 (step st18).

After the user DB 221 is updated, if the number of times the rental game content is used in the user DB 221 has reached any of the above-described predetermined times (YES in step st19), the management unit 236 sets the predetermined number of times. In the lottery list 222 corresponding to the user ID of the reached user, the lottery list 222 is updated by increasing the selection ratio of the rental game content selected as the game content (step st20). At this time, the management unit 236 changes (increases) the selection ratio according to the various conditions that are satisfied.

If the number of times the rental game content is used has not reached any of the predetermined times (NO in step st19), the lottery list 222 is not updated.

-Operation flow during lottery process-
FIG. 10 mainly shows the flow of the operation of the game system 1 during the lottery process.

When the user performs an operation of “pulling the gacha” from the state where the screen sc1 of FIG. 4A is displayed on the display 61 in the game apparatus 5, the communication unit 561 of the game apparatus 5 displays the lottery request information. It is transmitted to the server device 2 (step st31).

Upon receiving the lottery request information, the lottery execution means 233 of the server device 2 reads out the lottery list 222 corresponding to the user ID of the game device 5 that has transmitted the lottery request information from the storage unit 22 (step st32). The lottery execution means 233 selects a game medium by lot according to the selection ratio in the read out lottery list 222 (step st33), and writes information about the selected game medium in the record corresponding to the user ID in the user DB 221. .. As a result, the user ID is associated with the information regarding the selected game content (step st34).

On the record, if the same information as the information about the game content selected this time is included in the information about the rental game content (YES in step st35), the privilege granting means 237 causes the rental game content to be used until now. The privilege is changed according to the number of times (step st36). The information processing unit 231 transmits information indicating that the user has acquired the same game content (specific game content) as the rental game content through the gacha and the content of the privilege to the game device 5 of another user (step st37).

The notification control means 563 in the game device 5 of another user who has received the various information in step st37 causes the screen sc4 of FIG. 6 to be displayed on the display 61 and causes the speaker 62 to output a sound corresponding to the various information ( Step st38).

If the number of times the rental game medium has been used so far is equal to or greater than the predetermined number (YES in step st39), the lottery execution means 233 determines whether the selected game medium (specific game medium) is used in accordance with the number of times the rental game medium has been used. The parameter is changed (step st40). If the number of times of use is less than the predetermined number of times, step st40 is not performed.

If the selected game content is not the same as the rental game content in step st35 (NO in step st35), the operations in steps st36 to st40 are not performed.

The server device 2 uses, as the information regarding the selected game content, the information after the change when the parameter is changed, the information about the selected game content itself when the parameter is not changed, and the sender of the lottery request information. To the game device 5 of the user (step st41). The notification control unit 563 of the game apparatus 5 causes the display 61 to display the transmitted information, and causes the speaker 62 to output a sound associated with the displayed content (step st42).

To summarize the above, the game program according to the present embodiment causes the control unit 23 (computer) of the server device 2 to execute a lottery list 222 including information about a plurality of game contents according to the operation of the user (first user). From the above, a lottery execution means for performing a lottery process of selecting one of the game contents by lottery based on the selection ratio for each game medium and associating the information about the selected game medium with the user ID (identification information of the first user) 233 and information of the game content associated with the lender ID (identification information of the second user) of another user different from the user (first user), depending on the operation of the user (first user). At least one game content is selected as a rental game content for the user (first user), and the user ID (identification information of the first user) is caused to function as a selection unit 235 for associating the information about the rental game content with the game device 5. The control unit 56 (computer) is caused to function as a game execution unit 562 that executes a game using at least one rental game medium according to the operation of the user (first user). Then, if the lottery list 222 includes a game content corresponding to the rental game content, the control unit 23 (computer) of the server device 2 is rented in the lottery process according to the number of times each of the at least one rental game content is used. Functions as a management unit 236 that updates the lottery list 222 for each user ID (first user identification information) by determining the selection ratio so that the same game content as (corresponding to) the game content is selected. It is what makes them.

<Effect of the invention>
According to the present embodiment, the selection ratio is changed so that the rental game content can be easily selected as the game content by using the number of times of use of the rental game content that can be regarded as log information. As a result, it is possible to prevent the user's motivation from being motivated to obtain the game content, and to improve the fun of the game.

Further, when the same game content as the rental game content that has been used is selected by the lottery process as the specific game content, the other user (second user) who owns the rental game content is notified of that fact. And the benefits are given. That is, the user (first user) can report and thank the other user that he or she finally owns the specific game content, and this can be an opportunity to continue the relationship with the other user.

Further, the content of the privilege changes according to the number of times the rental game medium is used. For example, the more the number of times of use, the richer the contents of the privilege. This may be an opportunity for the user (first user) to continue a good relationship with another user (second user).

When the specific game content is selected by lottery selection, the parameters of the specific game content change according to the number of times the rental game content is used. By using this specific game content, the user can proceed with the game more advantageously.

[Other Embodiments]
The various control means and processing procedures described in the above embodiments are examples, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, its application, or its application. Various control means and processing procedures can be appropriately changed in design without changing the gist of the present invention.

The game is not limited as long as it is of a type that uses a game medium.

Although the game does not limit the types of game contents that can be used in the same quest, there may be restrictions such as "a plurality of the same game contents cannot be used in the same quest".

In the above embodiment, the case where the predetermined rental period is one quest and the rental game medium is rented each time the quest is executed has been exemplified, but the predetermined rental period is not limited to this. The predetermined rental period may be from when the rental game medium is rented to when the number of times the quest is executed reaches a predetermined number, for example, “up to five quests”, or after the rental game medium is rented. The time in the game space (in-game time) or the time in the real world may be until a predetermined time elapses (for example, 1 hour). In this case, in the user DB 221, as the information regarding the rental game medium, the number of times the quest is executed and the loan period are associated with each rental game medium.

When the same game content as the rental game content being rented is selected by lottery as the specific game content, the lottery execution means 233 uses the user ID to return the rental game content to another user (second user) who is the owner. The state associated with the information regarding the rental game content may be released (deleted from the user DB 221).

Regarding the release timing, at least one of the parameters (level, skill, etc.) of the specific game content reaches the upper limit value because the game execution means 562 executes the game using the specific game content instead of the rental game content. The timing may be the same.

Further, the release timing may be a timing when the specific game content is acquired.

When the rental game medium is being rented (before cancellation) and the specific game medium is available, the game (quest) may be executable using both game mediums.

Further, when the rental game medium is rented for a predetermined period, the release may not be performed.

In the above-described embodiment, when the specific game content is selected by lottery, the content of the privilege changes according to the number of times the rental game content is used. However, the content of the privilege is at least one of the number of times the rental game medium is used, the number of times the rental game is rented, the rental period of the rental game medium, and the number of people who rent the rental game medium from a plurality of other users (second users). May vary depending on.

In this case, for example, as the rental period of the rental game medium is longer, the amount of virtual currency can be increased, and a game medium with higher rarity can be given as a privilege. When the rental game content is rented from a plurality of other users, the virtual currency amount may be increased as the number of users increases. At this time, the privilege can be divided and given to each of the plurality of other users.

In the above-described embodiment, when the specific game content is selected by lottery, the parameter of the specific game content changes according to the number of times the game content is used. However, the parameter of the specific game content is at least the number of times the rental game content is used, the number of times of rental, the rental period of the rental game content, and the number of people when the rental game content is lent by a plurality of other users (second users). It may vary depending on one.

In this case, for example, the longer the rental period of the rental game medium, the closer at least one of the parameters of the specific game medium can be brought closer to the upper limit value.

Further, when the rental game content is rented from a plurality of other users, at least one of the parameters can be brought closer to the upper limit value as the number of users increases. The longer the waiting period for the acquisition of the specific game content is, the greater the number of times that the same rental game content as the specific game content is used. Therefore, the user can obtain the long-sought specific game medium with at least one of the parameters such as skill originally strong.

In the above-described embodiment and the other embodiments described above, the selection rate is increased, the content of the privilege is changed, and the parameter of the specific game is changed. Is rising”. However, it is not limited to “increase” and may be “decrease in selection ratio”, “rank contents of privilege down”, or “decrease parameters of specific game”.

In the above-described embodiment, the selection ratio is changed stepwise by satisfying the first predetermined condition and the second predetermined condition regarding the number of times the rental game content is used. However, the contents of the first predetermined condition and the second predetermined condition are conditions other than conditions related to the number of times of use (for example, the number of rentals is a predetermined number or more, the number of times the gacha is drawn is a predetermined number or more, etc.). ).

In the above embodiment, the rental game medium is used once every time the quest is performed, and the selection ratio in the lottery list 222 is updated according to the number of times of use (that is, the number of times of rental). However, when the rental game medium can be continuously rented for a long period of time, the management unit 236 may update the selection ratio according to the number of times the rental game medium is used instead of the number of times the rental game medium is rented. It is also possible to update the selection ratio using both of these.

For example, when the selection ratio is updated using both the rental count and the usage count, the management unit 236 may change the selection ratio by weighting the rental count based on the usage count. it can.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where <the update process of the lottery list 222> and <the game medium parameter and privilege change process> are both executed is illustrated. However, only one of these may be performed. In other words, when the same lot of rental game media that has been rented so far is selected by lottery without performing the process of updating the lottery list 222 according to the number of times the rental game medium has been used. Only the process of notifying other users and giving the privilege may be performed.

In the above embodiment, the case where the game content obtained by the lottery selection is the same as the rental game content has been illustrated. However, the game content obtained by the lottery selection may be any game content corresponding to the rental game content. The “game content corresponding to the rental game content” includes the same game content as the rental game content, and if the rental game content is an evolved game content, the game content obtained by gacha is the evolution of the rental game content. It includes the previous game medium. For example, the “game content corresponding to the rental game content” may have the same game content identification information (character ID) set for each game content, and the level, the degree of rarity, the attack power, and the physical strength of this game content. Including different status such as, skill and design (look).

In addition, when <Regarding the update process of the lottery list 222>, the process of changing the selection ratio according to the number of times of use is essential, but the selection ratio depends on whether or not the number of times of use reaches a predetermined number. The process of changing the changing method of is not essential.

When <About game medium parameters and privilege change processing> is performed, it is essential to notify the user other than the fact that the privilege game medium has been acquired and to grant the privilege, but the contents and parameters of the privilege depend on the number of times of use. The process of changing is not essential.

In the embodiment described above, the lottery process by the gacha is performed in the state where the lottery list 222 for each user ID is created in advance. However, the lottery list 222 may not be created in advance, but may be created using the log history.

Specifically, the selection unit 235 selects at least one from the information about the game content associated with the identification information of the other user (the second user) according to the operation of the user (the first user), as in the above embodiment. It is selected as a rental game medium for the user (first user), and the identification information of the user (first user) is associated with the information on the rental game medium. The game execution means 562 executes a game using at least one rental game medium according to the operation of the user (first user).

Then, unlike the above-described embodiment, the lottery execution means 233 assigns information on at least one rental game medium to information on a plurality of game contents according to the number of times of use and/or the number of rentals of each at least one rental game medium. The included lottery list 222 is created for each identification information of the user (first user).

In this case, all of the game contents in the lottery list 222 may be rental game contents, or some of them may be rental game contents. When the lottery execution means 233 receives a lottery execution request from the game device 5 of the user (first user), the lottery execution means 233 uses the lottery list 222 of the user to perform lottery processing by gacha. This makes it easier for the user (first user) to obtain the game content corresponding to the rental game content, so that it is possible to prevent the user's motivation from being motivated by the acquisition of the game content, and the interest of the game. Will improve.

In the above case, the lottery execution means 233 causes the plurality of games included in the lottery list 222 for the user (first user) according to the number of times the user (first user) has used and/or rented the rental game medium. The selection ratio of each medium can be determined, and the lottery process can be performed according to the determined selection ratio.

For example, it is determined that the selection ratio of the rental game content in the lottery list 222 is higher and the selection ratio of the game content other than the rental game content is lower in the lottery list 222 as the number of times of use or rental is increased. This increases the possibility that the user (first user) can acquire the game content corresponding to the rental game content in the lottery process using the gacha.

Further, in the above case, when the lottery execution means 233 generates the lottery list 222 of the user (first user), the game content corresponding to the rental game content is the acquired game content and the identification information of the user (first user). If it is associated with the lottery list 222, the lottery list 222 can be generated so that the information regarding the acquired game content is not included in the lottery list 222. That is, if the user (first user) already owns the game content corresponding to the rental game content when the lottery list 222 is generated, the user (first user) is selected so that the game content is not selected again in the lottery process. A lottery list 222 for the first user) is generated.

As a result, the lottery list 222 of each user (first user) includes only the game content corresponding to the rental game content not owned when the lottery list 222 is generated. Therefore, the user (first user) does not own the acquired game content in the lottery process using the gacha.

The case where the lottery list 222 is generated according to the number of times of using the rental game medium and/or the number of times of renting can be applied to the case where there are a plurality of users (first users). In this case, in generating the lottery list 222, log information indicating how many rental game contents are rented by a plurality of users is used.

Specifically, as in the above-described embodiment, the selection unit 235 selects at least one of the information about the game content associated with the identification information of the other user (the second user) according to the operation of the user (the first user). The game content is selected as a rental game content for the user (first user), and the identification information of the user (first user) is associated with the information about the rental game content. The game execution means 562 executes a game using at least one rental game medium according to the operation of the user (first user).

The lottery execution means 233 has at least one that has been used by at least a part of the plurality of users (first user) based on the information about the rental game content associated with the identification information of the user (first user). The total number of times of use and/or the total number of times of rental is calculated for each rental game medium. The lottery execution means 233 generates the lottery list 222 according to the calculated total number of times of use and/or total number of times of rental.

At this time, the lottery list 222 includes information on at least one rental game medium in addition to information on a plurality of game contents, and is a common lottery common to at least a part of a plurality of users (first users). Generated as a list. Therefore, all of the game contents in the lottery list 222 may be rental game contents, or some of them may be rental game contents.

When the lottery execution means 233 receives a lottery execution request from the game device 5 of any user (first user), the lottery execution means 233 uses the common lottery list to perform the lottery process by the gacha described in the above embodiment. This makes it easier for the user (first user) to obtain the game content corresponding to the rental game content, so that it is possible to prevent the user's motivation from being motivated by the acquisition of the game content, and the interest of the game. Will improve.

In addition, "common to at least a part of a plurality of users (first user)" includes all users (first user), users whose game level is equal to or higher than a predetermined value (first user), and the like.

In the above case, the lottery execution means 233 determines the selection ratio of each of the plurality of game contents included in the common lottery list according to the total number of times of use and/or the total number of times of rental, and the determined selection ratio The lottery process can be performed accordingly.

For example, from the overall usage status of rental game media, the larger the total number of times of use or the total number of times of rental is determined, the higher the selection ratio of the game media corresponding to the rental game media in the common lottery list becomes. , The selection ratio of other game contents is determined to be lower. This increases the possibility that the user (first user) can acquire the game content corresponding to the rental game content in the lottery process using the gacha.

In the above case, when the common lottery list common to each user (first user) is generated, the lottery execution means 233 determines whether the game medium corresponding to the rental game medium is the acquired game medium (the first user). ), the common lottery list is generated so that the information regarding the acquired game content is not included in the common lottery list.

In other words, when the common lottery list is generated, if any one of the plurality of users (first users) has acquired the game medium corresponding to the rental game medium, the lottery execution means 233 performs the lottery process again on the game medium. A common lottery list is generated so that the common lottery list is not selected.

As a result, the common lottery list includes only the game contents corresponding to the rental game contents not owned by anyone at the time of generation. Therefore, each user (first user) does not own the acquired game content in the lottery process using the gacha.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, it was demonstrated that the lottery list 222 is produced|generated for every user ID. However, the lottery list 222 is common to at least a part of the plurality of users (first users), and is based on the log information of the rental game contents of the plurality of users (first users). May be determined.

Examples of "at least a part of the plurality of users" include all users (first users), users whose game level is a predetermined value or more (first users), and the like.

Specifically, the lottery execution means 233 is based on a selection ratio for each game medium from a common lottery list including information about a plurality of game contents in response to an operation of an arbitrary user (first user). One of the game contents is selected by lottery, and a lottery process for associating the information about the selected game contents with the identification information of the user (first user) who performed the operation is performed.

When selecting means 235 selects at least one game content from the game content owned by another user (second user) according to an operation of an arbitrary user (first user), the selection means 235 selects this. This is a rental game medium for users. The game execution means 562 executes a game using at least one rental game medium according to an operation of an arbitrary user (first user).

On the other hand, the management unit 236, based on the information about the rental game medium associated with the identification information of each first user, at least one rental game that has been used by at least some of the plurality of users (first users).
