(Specific player notification control process)
When a specific player is selected, the information providing unit 11 performs a notification control process to notify a given player that the player has been selected as the specific player or that there is a possibility that the player has been selected as the specific player. Execute.

In particular, the information providing unit 11, as a given player,
(E1) All players participating in the game,
(E2) A player selected as a specific player (a player to whom a benefit has been granted),
(E3) Unspecified player, or
(E4) A player who meets predetermined conditions (for example, a player who has a predetermined item, a player who has performed a predetermined action (experience values, points, etc. have reached a predetermined value) within a predetermined period of time) , and a player belonging to a predetermined attribute such as a predetermined rank or level),
A notification control process is executed to notify the player that the player has been selected as a specific player or that there is a possibility that the player has been selected.

For example, the information providing unit 111 performs notification control processing (that is, notification regarding a specific player to a specific player, a non-specific player, or each player participating in the game) on the game screen of the corresponding terminal device 20 (game title screen, Gasha execution screen, or
This is performed using a predetermined notification method and at a predetermined notification timing, such as by displaying on a dedicated notification screen (such as a special notification screen) and performing notification processing at a timing after the award is granted.

Then, as a notification control process regarding a specific player, the information providing unit 111 performs a notification control process for a specific player, a non-specific player, or each player participating in the game, in place of or in addition to the screen display. Each player may be notified using an email address, or if the terminal device 20 is a portable information terminal such as a smartphone, each player may be notified using an application of the portable information terminal such as a push notification. You can.

In addition, the information providing unit 111 determines the timing for executing each of the above-mentioned notification control processes (that is, the notification regarding the specific player to the specific player, non-specific player, or each player participating in the game) to the notification regarding the benefit. It may be executed at the same time or at a timing different from the timing of the notification regarding the benefit, and it may be executed not only at the timing before the start of the item selection control process, but also at the timing after the item selection control process, or at a fixed daily or weekly time. In the case of a lottery process that uses Box Gasha as an item selection control process, the date and time is the execution timing of Gasha (timing of obtaining or exchanging Box Gasha, or timing of executing Gacha), or when a stage or task is completed. It may also be executed at a timing when a specific player or another player performs a predetermined action, such as when clearing a game. However, the timing is not limited to this.

[4.3] Benefit Grant Control Process Next, the benefit grant control process executed by the player selection control processing unit 105 of this embodiment will be described using FIG. 5. Note that FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the privilege granting control process executed by the player selection control processing unit 105 of this embodiment.

(Basic principle of benefit grant control processing)
The player selection control processing unit 105 allows a specific player to increase (increase) the probability of winning in a lottery process such as Gasha executed by the specific player (increase the probability of winning only for specific items such as SS rare items). ), adding special items or featured items such as rare items and S rare items to the items selectable by the item selection control process, or reducing the winning probability of other players; Give benefits such as.

Further, the player selection control processing unit 105 may grant benefits depending on the progress of the game, player information of each specific player, etc. It may be a different benefit for each, or it may be the same benefit.

On the other hand, the player selection control processing unit 105 may refer to the player information, read out the rank of each specific player, and provide a benefit that includes rank information in which the read rank is defined.

In other words, the player selection control processing unit 105 may provide a specific player with benefits that have different beneficial effects on the specific player depending on the rank, even if the benefits are the same.

In this case, the player selection control processing unit 105 allows the player selection control processing unit 105 to select a rare item or a featured item that is set to be selectable in the item selection control process in the case of a high-ranked benefit, rather than a low-ranked benefit. The higher the rank, such as increasing the probability, the more advantageous effects are given to the player in the item selection control process.

For example, when granting a benefit A that increases the probability of winning a featured item to a player in the item selection control process, the player selection control processing unit 105 may set the winning probability of the featured item to " Regarding the benefit that increases the probability of winning the featured item by "30%" and the benefit A of rank "2", a benefit that increases the winning probability of the featured item by "50%" is given.

Furthermore, when granting a privilege A that defines the rank of a specific player as "highest" to a player, the player selection control processing unit 105 allows the specific player to select 100% of the desired items through the item selection control process. When granting a bonus to a player (super lucky player benefit) that specifies the rank of a specific player as "2nd place", the item selection control process selects 80% of the items that the player desires. Grants benefits that can be selected based on probability (slightly lucky player benefits).

On the other hand, instead of or in addition to the rank information, the player selection control processing unit 105 changes the winning probability of items that may be selected in the item selection control process, or changes the winning probability of each item. In order to change the selection table in which probabilities are specified (including adding a selection table), refer to player information, etc. and indicate to a specific player attributes for controlling the contents of the item selection control process. A benefit whose attribute information is defined may be provided.

In other words, the player selection control processing unit 105 provides the specific player with benefits that have different beneficial effects on the specific player due to different attributes, even if the benefits are the same.

Specifically, when the player selection control processing unit 105 executes the item selection control processing,
(A1) Controlling the winning probability of selectable items in the item selection control process,
(A2) Control a selection table in which a plurality of selectable items are defined, or
(A3) Controlling additional processing for granting additional items;
A benefit with specified attribute information is granted.

For example, if attribute "large", attribute "medium", and attribute "small" are each defined as a benefit, the player selection control processing unit 105 can select in the item selection control process when the attribute is "large". When the attribute is "medium", the probability of winning an SS rare item that can be selected in the item selection control process is increased by 50%, and when the attribute is "small", the probability of winning is increased by 50%. , the probability of winning an SS rare item that is a selectable item in the item selection control process is set to "20% increase".

In addition, for example, the item selection control process is a step-up Gacha (a Gacha that can be executed multiple times, and the number of selectable items with high rarity increases each time it is executed a predetermined number of times). In the case of a gasha that is advantageous to the player), the player selection control processing unit 105 changes it to a step-up gasha that takes the next step even if it is not executed a predetermined number of times when the attribute is "large", and when the attribute is "medium". When the step-up gasha is changed to a step-up gasha in which the predetermined number of steps up is halved compared to the normal time, and when the attribute is "small", the step-up gasha is changed to step-up gasha that steps up every predetermined number of times (i.e., the normal step-up gasha) Set to .

Furthermore, for example, when the item selection control process executes a gacha as a lottery process, the player selection control processing unit 105 may set an attribute-specific gacha determined for each attribute in the item selection control process, Gasha where a predetermined item is set to be selectable (specifically,
When the attribute is "large", a Gacha consisting of items that are SS rare items or higher) may be set in the item selection control process.

In accordance with such attributes, when setting the Gasha for the item selection control process, the player selection control processing unit 105 may set it for a limited time.

In addition to the above, the player selection control processing unit 105 generates attribute information that indicates the same attribute as the attribute defined for the player character (for example, the attribute of the player character is "fire" and the attribute of the privilege is also "fire"). Attribute information for increasing the winning probability of a specific item with high rarity (for example, SS rare item 1) or switching to a selection table that increases the winning probability of all high-rare items. Grant prescribed benefits.

For example, the player selection control processing unit 105 generates attribute information indicating an attribute that exhibits the ability of the player character of a specific player (for example, the attribute of the player character is "earth" and the attribute of the benefit is "water"). , a selection table (rare, S rare, and We will give you a benefit that specifies the attribute information to change the winning probability of each item by 20%.

Note that, for example, the player selection control processing unit 105 may grant benefits different from the above-mentioned benefits, such as the right to perform another Gacha, items such as player characters and equipment, or in-game currency.
