Description

GAME CONTROL DEVICE, GAME CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, GAME SYSTEM, SELECTION DEVICE

The present invention relates to a technique for selecting or drawing a target such as an object.

In recent years, so-called social games have become widespread as applications executed in social networking services (SNS). In social games, for example, in addition to cooperative play with other users (friends), information exchange by communicating with friends such as greetings and contacts with friends, gifts of items on the game with friends or items An exchange has been made.

In the above-described social game, a game provided with a plurality of functions is known. For example, Non-Patent Document 1 describes an example of a social game (Sengoku Collection (registered trademark)). Such a game may be provided with a function of giving an item on the game to the user as a selection according to a predetermined operation by the user or a lottery result.

In conventional games, selection of objects such as items or lottery itself is simple, and it has not been so much fun for users.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described viewpoints, and when a target such as an object is drawn by lottery, a game control device, a game control method, and a game control device that can realize a more interesting game or lottery processing than before, It is an object to provide a program, a recording medium, a game system, and a selection device.

A first aspect of the present invention is a game control device,
First selection means for selecting a plurality of first objects from a plurality of objects on the game in response to a user operation input;
Second selection means for selecting a second object from a plurality of first objects selected by the first selection means;
First privilege granting means for granting the user at least one of a second object selected by the second selection means and a privilege on the game based on the second object;
Is provided.

In this game control apparatus, the “object” may be any object as long as it can be selected, and may include, for example, items and characters on the game. In this case, the character is, for example, a virtual person, a creature, a monster or the like on the game, and includes those displayed on the card. Moreover, the card | curd about magic or a technique may be sufficient.
In this game control device, the selection conditions of the first selection means and the second selection means can be set as appropriate. For example, both may have the same selection method but may have different numbers of selections from the population, or may have different selection methods even if the number of selections is the same. The selection method may select a predetermined number at random (randomly) from the population, or may extract a predetermined number of times independently from the population.

According to this game control device, the user selects a first object from a plurality of objects (population) according to his / her operation input, and obtains a first selection result. Further, the user selects the second object from the first selection result and obtains the second selection result. That is, the user can enjoy a selection result (lottery result) twice from one population. Further, the user can obtain at least one of the benefits on the game based on the second object that is the second selection result and the second object. Therefore, selection of objects or lottery itself can be enjoyed, and a highly entertaining game can be realized.

In the game control device, a second privilege grant that grants to the user at least one of a plurality of first objects selected by the first selection unit or a privilege on the game based on the plurality of first objects. Means.
In this configuration, since it is possible to obtain at least one of the first object that is the first selection result and the bonus on the game based on the first object, it is possible to realize a game that is even more interesting. Can do.

In the game control device, the first selection unit may determine the number of the plurality of first objects every time a user inputs an operation. In this case, the user cannot predict the number of first objects to be selected. Therefore, when a plurality of objects can be selected on the game, such as lottery processing, the user comes to pay attention to the number of objects to be selected, and the user may find the selection act (that is, operation input) itself interesting. it can.

In the above game control device,
An acquisition means for acquiring a setting value of the first object selected by the first selection means with reference to a storage device storing a setting value set in each of the plurality of objects;
Determination means for determining whether a predetermined condition is satisfied based on the setting value acquired by the acquisition means, and
The first selection unit may select the first object while the predetermined condition is satisfied by the determination unit.
In this game control apparatus, the “set value” may be anything as long as it is numerical information set in association with the object. For example, a parameter value indicating the ability of the object, a value indicating the characteristic of the object, or the object is used. It may be a cost required for the game to do.

Also in this game control device, the user cannot predict the number of first objects selected for the first time. However, in the above configuration, the number of first objects obtained by selection is associated with the set value of the object. Therefore, the user inevitably pays attention to the set value of each object. Therefore, the user can be interested in a specific set value. The predetermined condition may be based on a comparison result between an integrated value of a set value of the first object selected by the first selection unit and a predetermined value. In this case, the user pays more attention to whether or not the integrated value of the target set value satisfies a predetermined condition. Therefore, it comes to pay more attention to the specific setting value of the first object that is sequentially selected, and it is possible to enhance the interest of the user.

In the game control apparatus, the second selection means determines the second object by selecting one object each time a predetermined number of times from the first objects selected by the first selection means, The first privilege granting unit may determine the content of the privilege based on the combination of the second objects when granting the privilege on the game. In such a configuration, the second selection means, for example, selects the first selection result (the first selection result (the first selection object) as if the first object is a symbol (picture) of the slot machine and the predetermined number of times is the number of reels in the slot. 2 objects) can be obtained, and the privilege is given to the user based on the combination of the second objects, so that an unprecedented highly entertaining game can be realized.
In particular, in the conventional slot machine, since the symbols (pictures) set on the reels are fixed, it is easy to get tired of executing it many times, but in this game control device, the first object selected by the first selection means Since it changes every time a user's operation is input, it is possible to realize a slot machine in which symbols change every time a user operates.

In the game control apparatus, the second selection unit may increase the predetermined number of times as the number or types of the first objects selected by the first selection unit is small.
The smaller the number or type of the first object, the smaller the number of combinations by the first object. However, since the predetermined number of times in the second selection increases, this is equivalent to an increase in the number of reels of the slot machine, and benefits are obtained. This makes it difficult to align symbols. Conversely, the greater the number or type of the first object, the greater the number of combinations by the first object, but this is equivalent to a reduction in the number of reels in the slot machine because the predetermined number of times in the second selection is reduced. Symbol alignment for obtaining benefits is facilitated. Therefore, according to the said structure, the privilege acquired by the selection (lottery) of the 1st time and the 2nd time can be made more fair.

A second aspect of the present invention is a game control method,
Selecting a plurality of first objects from a plurality of objects on the game in response to a user operation input;
Selecting a second object from the selected first objects;
Granting the user at least one of the selected second object and a privilege on the game based on the second object;
Is provided.

A third aspect of the present invention relates to a computer.
A function of selecting a plurality of first objects from a plurality of objects on the game in response to a user operation input;
A function of selecting a second object from the selected first objects, and
A function of giving the user at least one of the selected second object and a privilege on the game based on the second object;
It is a program for realizing.

The computer may be, for example, a network server or a large computer. Further, this program may be stored in a computer-readable information storage medium such as a DVD-ROM or a CD-ROM. That is, a fourth aspect of the present invention is a computer-readable recording medium in which the program is recorded.

A fifth aspect of the present invention is a game system including a communication terminal and a server accessible from the communication terminal,
First selection means for selecting a plurality of first objects from a plurality of objects on the game in response to a user operation input;
Second selection means for selecting a second object from a plurality of first objects selected by the first selection means; and

Further, as shown in the game image S4, a point on the game may be given to the user based on a combination of monster characters that is a lottery result of the second lottery.

(1-3) Overview of Functions in Game Device Hereinafter, functions realized by the game device 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram for explaining functions that play a main role in the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment.

The game progression means 51 has a function of advancing the game of the present embodiment in response to an operation input to the input unit 4 by the user. As described above, the game of this embodiment is provided with a battle function and a lottery function.
In order to execute the battle function, the CPU 11 generates image data so as to display a predetermined battle action by the monster character as a battle opponent, and sends it to the image processing circuit 14. As long as the battle is won or lost, any method may be used as long as it is determined based on the value of the attack power or defense power of the monster character as the battle opponent. For example, when the CPU 11 executes a battle between the user's monster character (user character) and a pre-selected monster character (CPU character), the CPU 11 performs a predetermined HP ( Set Hit Point. The CPU 11 reduces the HP of the CPU character by an amount corresponding to the attack power of the user character in response to a pressing operation on any one of the instruction buttons 4d assigned in advance as an attack operation. The CPU 11 attacks the user character from the CPU character in response to an attack operation by the user or at random timing, and reduces the HP of the user character by an amount corresponding to the attack power of the CPU character. The CPU 11 determines that one of the user character and the CPU character whose HP is zero first is defeated.
If the user character wins, a certain amount of points may be given to the target user. In that case, the CPU 11 accesses the storage medium 17 and performs a process of overwriting by adding a certain amount of points in the user data of the user to be processed.

The lottery function in the game progress means 51 is performed in cooperation with the first selection means 52 and the second selection means 53. In order to execute the lottery function, the CPU 11 generates image data so that the game images illustrated in order in FIGS. 5 to 7 are displayed on the display device 3 in response to the user's selection operation on the menu, and the image processing circuit 14 to send.

The first selection means 52 has a function of selecting a plurality of monster characters (first objects) from a plurality of monster characters (objects) on the game in accordance with a user's selection operation.
In order to realize the function of the first selection means 52, when the CPU 11 recognizes the input of the user's appropriate selection operation (for example, the selection operation for the menu m4 of the game image S2 in FIG. 6), it is stored in the character database. A predetermined number (M) of monster characters are selected randomly or according to a predetermined rule. These M monster characters correspond to the selection result of the first stage in the two-stage lottery. In addition, when selecting according to a predetermined rule, for example, a method of making a user select a random selection as seen from the user, such as a method of selecting based on any one of a plurality of rules at each selection operation, is adopted. It is preferable.

The second selection means 53 has a function of selecting a monster character (second object) from a plurality of monster characters (first objects) selected by the first selection means 52.
In order to realize the function of the second selection means 53, when the CPU 11 recognizes the input of the user's appropriate selection operation (for example, the selection operation for the menu m5 of the game image S3 in FIG. 7), the first-stage selection result A predetermined number (for example, N, where N <M) of monster characters are selected at random or according to a predetermined rule from the above M monster characters. The N monster characters correspond to the second stage selection result in the two stage lottery.

The selection conditions in the second selection means 53 may be different from the selection conditions in the first selection means 52. When the conditions are set so as to be different from each other, the mode of the difference can be set as appropriate. When the selection condition in the first selection means 52 is the first condition and the selection condition in the second selection means 53 is the second condition, in the present embodiment, the difference between the first condition and the second condition is the first condition. The population in the selection is different between the condition and the second condition. That is, the first condition selects all monster characters included in the character database as a population, and the second condition selects a predetermined number of monster characters selected by the first selection means 52 as a population. Further, the number of selected monster characters differs between the first condition and the second condition. As another example of the difference between the first condition and the second condition, in one condition, a predetermined number of monster characters are randomly selected from the population by one selection operation, and in the other condition, a plurality of times One monster character may be extracted independently from the population for each selection operation.

The first privilege granting means 54 is a user who selects at least one of the monster character (second object) selected by the second selection means 53 and points (privileges) on the game based on the monster character (second object). It has the function to give to.
In order to realize the function of the first privilege granting unit 54, the CPU 11 performs the following processing. When giving the N monster characters as the selection result of the second stage in the two-stage lottery to the user, the CPU 11 accesses the storage medium 17 as data of the possessed character in the user data of the user to be processed. The process of writing the identification codes of the N monster characters is performed. When giving points (privileges) to the user based on the N monster characters as the second stage selection result in the two stage lottery, the CPU 11 accesses the storage medium 17 and the user of the user to be processed Overwrites by adding points in the data.
The CPU 11 may give only N monster characters to the user, may give only points to the user, or may give both N monster characters and points to the user.

Note that a table describing the relationship between the N monster characters as the second stage selection result in the two stage lottery and the amount of points given to the user is provided on the ROM 12, for example. Refer to the table to determine the amount of points. In that case, for example, it is preferable that the amount of points increases as the probability of selecting N monster characters decreases. For example, for N monster characters, 20 pt may be given when the monster types are all the same, and 30 pt may be given when the monster types are all the same and a specific monster character is included. .
Note that the method of determining the amount of points is not limited to a method of referring to a table, and a method of calculating a set value such as a parameter of N monster characters by applying a predetermined mathematical formula may be employed.

(1-4) Main Process Flow of Game Device of Present Embodiment Next, an example of the main process flow performed by the game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 9, display timings of the game images S1 to S4 of FIGS. 6 and 7 are added.
When the CPU 11 recognizes that the menu m3 (two-stage lottery) has been selected in the game image S1 (step S100: YES), the CPU 11 sends image data for displaying the game image S2 to the image processing circuit 14, and the game It waits for an input of a selection operation for the menu m4 in the image S2 ("perform first lottery") (step S110). When the CPU 11 recognizes the selection operation for the menu m4 (step S110: YES), the CPU 11 selects M monster characters from the monster characters stored in the character database at random or in accordance with a predetermined rule (step S120). ). If the menu m3 (two-stage lottery) is not selected in the game image S1 (step S100: NO), the process ends.

After step S120, the CPU 11 sends image data for displaying the game image S3 to the image processing circuit 14, and waits for an input of a selection operation for the menu m5 (“second lottery”) in the game image S3. (Step S130). When the CPU 11 recognizes the selection operation for the menu m5 (step S130: YES), the CPU 11 randomly selects N (for example, N <M) monster characters from the M monster characters selected in step S120, or A selection is made according to a predetermined rule (step S140). The CPU 11 sends image data for displaying the game image S4 to the image processing circuit 14 after selecting N monster characters.

Next, the CPU 11 determines to give at least one of the N monster characters selected in step S140 and the points (privileges) based on the N monster characters (step S150). When the CPU 11 gives N monster characters to the user, the CPU 11 accesses the storage medium 17 and writes the identification codes of the N monster characters as possessed character data in the user data of the user to be processed. Is performed (step S160). When the CPU 11 gives points to the user based on the N monster characters, the CPU 11 accesses the storage medium 17 and performs a process of adding and overwriting points in the user data of the user to be processed (step S160). .

As described above, according to the game device 1 of the present embodiment, a user can select a monster character (first object) from a plurality of monster characters (objects) as a population in response to his / her operation input. The first lottery result is obtained. Further, the user selects a monster character (second object) from the first lottery result and obtains the second lottery result. That is, the user can enjoy a lottery result twice (two stages) from one population. Furthermore, the user can obtain at least one of the benefits on the game based on the monster character (second object), which is the second lottery result, and the monster character (second object). Therefore, the user can enjoy selection of an object or lottery itself, and can realize a highly entertaining game.

(2) Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The game apparatus 1a of this embodiment has the same hardware configuration as that shown in FIG. Hereinafter, differences from the game apparatus 1 of the first embodiment will be described.

In FIG. 10, the functional block diagram of the game device 1a of this embodiment is shown. The functional block diagram of FIG. 10 is different from that shown in FIG. 8 in that a second privilege giving means 55 is added.
The second privilege granting means 55 is at least a plurality of monster characters (first object) selected by the first selection means 52 or a point (privilege) on the game based on the plurality of monster characters (first object). It has a function to give either one to the user.

FIG. 11 shows a display example of the game image by the second privilege giving means 55. As shown in FIG. 11, in the game apparatus 1a of the present embodiment, a game image S3a is displayed instead of the game image S3 of FIG. As shown in the game image S3a, in the present embodiment, M monster characters that are the first stage selection results in the two-stage lottery and points (privileges) based on the M monster characters are given to the user. . Note that any of the M monster characters or points may be given to the user. Further, when M monster characters are given to the user based on the selection result of the first step, as shown in the game image S4a, the selection result of the second step in the two-step lottery is based on the selection result. Points may be awarded when the combination of monster characters satisfies the relationship described in the table in advance.

In order to realize the function of the second privilege giving means 55, the CPU 11 performs the following processing. When giving the M monster characters as the selection result of the first stage in the two-stage lottery to the user, the CPU 11 accesses the storage medium 17 and stores the data of the retained characters in the user data of the user to be processed. Then, a process of writing identification codes of the M monster characters is performed. When giving points (privileges) to the user based on the M monster characters as the first stage selection result in the two-stage lottery, the CPU 11 accesses the storage medium 17 and the user of the user to be processed Overwrites by adding points in the data. At this time, a table describing the relationship between the M monster characters as the selection result of the first step in the two-step lottery and the amount of points given to the user is provided on, for example, the ROM 12. Refer to the table in to determine the amount of points.

According to the game device 1a of the present embodiment, at least one of the monster character (first object) that is the first lottery result as well as the second row and the game benefits based on the first object. Since a privilege can be obtained, a game that is even more interesting than the game apparatus 1 of the first embodiment can be realized.

(3) Third Embodiment Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The game apparatus 1b according to the present embodiment has the same hardware configuration as that shown in FIG. Hereinafter, differences from the game apparatus 1 of the first embodiment will be described.

(3-1) Content of Game of the Present Embodiment Next, the content of the game of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 15 are examples of game images of the game according to this embodiment.
Note that the display device 3 of the game apparatus 1b of the present embodiment includes an upper liquid crystal monitor 3a and a lower liquid crystal monitor 3b, as in the game apparatus 1, but the game images shown in FIGS. It may be displayed on either the monitor 3a or the lower liquid crystal monitor 3b.

When the menu m2 is selected and operated on the game image S0 (FIG. 5), the game image S11 shown in FIG. The game image S11 includes a lottery list (lottery list) prepared by the user. In the example of the game image S11, a 100-year-old lottery and a 100-m lottery are included in the lottery list, and menus m7 and m8 (“determine”) corresponding to each are provided. Each lottery is composed of a two-stage lottery similar to the two-stage lottery described in the first embodiment. The 100-year age lottery is a lottery in which the monster character can be drawn until the accumulated value of the age of the monster character exceeds 100 years in the first lottery. The body length 100m lottery is a lottery in which the monster character can be drawn until the integrated value of the body length of the monster character exceeds 100 meters in the first stage lottery.
For example, when the menu m8 is selected in the game image S11, the game image S12 is displayed on the display device 3. The game image S12 includes a menu m11 (“Lottery”) for performing the first lottery of the 100-m lottery selected by the user.

When the menu m11 is selected and operated in the game image S12, the game image S13 in FIG. 13 is displayed on the display device 3. The game image S13 shows a display example of the selection result of the first monster character. The game image S13 includes a display area 201 for displaying an image of the selected monster character, a display area 202 for displaying text including data relating to the monster character, and a specific set value of the monster character (in this example, the body length Display area 203 for displaying an integrated value (in this example, a body length integrated value) and a menu m12 “Draw next monster”.

In the game images S14 to S16 (FIGS. 13 and 14), every time the menu m12 is selected, the monster character selection results are sequentially displayed in the same manner as the game image S13. At this time, the body length integrated value displayed in the display area 203 is updated each time the selection result of the monster character is displayed. In the game images S14 to S16, the body length integrated value displayed in the display area 203 is updated each time an operation for drawing a new monster character is performed, and continuously until the predetermined condition that the body length integrated value exceeds 10 meters is satisfied. The monster character selection result is displayed. In the game image S16, the last monster character that satisfies the condition that the integrated length exceeds 10 meters is displayed.

The game image S17 includes an image of a monster character group (that is, a plurality of monster characters selected in the game images S13 to S16) that is a lottery result of the first lottery. The game image S17 further includes a menu m13 for performing the second stage lottery (“perform the second stage lottery”). When the menu m13 is selected and operated in the game image S17, the game image S18 is displayed on the display device 3. The game image S18 includes an image of a monster character group that is the lottery result of the second lottery. As in the first embodiment, the second stage lottery can be selected at random from the lottery results of the first stage lottery or according to a predetermined rule.
In the present embodiment, the monster character group displayed in the game image S17 may be given to the user, or the monster character group selected in the game image S18 may be given. Further, a predetermined amount of points may be given to the user as a privilege based on the monster character group displayed in the game image S17, or a predetermined amount of point based on the monster character group displayed in the game image S18. May be given to the user as a privilege.

(3-2) Overview of Functions in Game Control Device FIG. 16 shows a functional block diagram of the game device 1b of this embodiment. The functional block diagram of FIG. 16 differs from that shown in FIG. 8 in that an acquisition unit 56 and a determination unit 57 are added. In addition, you may further add the 2nd privilege provision means 55 described in 2nd Embodiment.

In FIG. 16, the acquisition means 56 refers to the character database (FIG. 7) stored in the storage medium 17 (storage device), and acquires the setting value of the monster character selected by the first selection means 52. Have
The determination unit 57 has a function of determining whether a predetermined condition is satisfied based on the setting value acquired by the acquisition unit 56.
The first selection means 52 has a function of selecting a monster character (first object) while the determination means 57 satisfies the predetermined condition.

Although the predetermined condition in the determination unit 57 can be set arbitrarily, in the example of the game of the present embodiment, the integrated value of the set values of the plurality of monster characters selected by the first selection unit 52 may be equal to or less than the predetermined value. It is a condition. Here, the set value to be integrated can be set as appropriate based on the contents of the lottery. For example, when the 100-year lottery of FIG. 12 is selected, the age value of the monster character corresponds to the set value, and when the 100-m lottery of FIG. 12 is selected, the length of the monster character's body length is selected. The value corresponds to the set value.

For example, when the predetermined condition is that the integrated value is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the functions of the acquisition unit 56, the determination unit 57, and the first selection unit 52 are realized as follows. Each time the CPU 11 recognizes an appropriate selection operation (for example, a selection operation on the menu m11 or 12 in FIGS. 12 to 14) by the user to be processed and selects a monster character, the CPU 11 sets the set value of the monster character in the character database (FIG. 7) Read (obtain). The CPU 11 determines whether a predetermined condition is satisfied based on the acquired setting value of the monster character. At this time, since the predetermined condition is that the integrated value of the set values of the plurality of selected monster characters is equal to or less than the predetermined value, the CPU 11 temporarily stores the read integrated value of the set value in the RAM 13 each time, Each time the integrated value is calculated, the calculated integrated value is compared with a predetermined value, and a process for determining whether or not the integrated value exceeds the predetermined value is performed. While the integrated value is less than or equal to the predetermined value (satisfying the predetermined condition), the selection of the monster character is continued, and when the integrated value exceeds the predetermined value, the selection of a new monster character is stopped. .

(3-3) Main Process Flow of Game Device of This Embodiment Next, an example of the main process flow performed by the game apparatus 1b of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 17A, 17B, and 18A, FIG. This will be described with reference to the flowchart of 18B. Note that the display timings of the game images S11 to S18 of FIGS. 12 to 15 are appended to FIGS. 17A, 17B, 18A, and 18B.
FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B show a processing flow in the case where monster characters are selected one by one in response to the user's one-time menu selection operation. FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B show a processing flow in the case where all monster characters are selected at once in response to a single menu selection operation by the user.

(A) Processing when a monster character is selected every time a user operation is performed Hereinafter, each processing of FIGS. 17A and 17B will be described in order.
When the CPU 11 recognizes that, for example, the menu m8 (body length 100m lottery) has been selected in the game image S11 (step S200: YES), the CPU 11 initializes the integrated value Psum (step S210). This integrated value Psum is an integrated value of a set value of any of a plurality of items provided in the monster character. Next, the CPU 11 sends the image data to the image processing circuit 14, whereby the selected lottery start screen (game image S12) is displayed.
When the CPU 11 recognizes that the menu m11 (“Lottery”) has been selected in the game image S12 (step S220: YES), the CPU 11 starts a process of selecting a number of monster characters that satisfy a predetermined condition. . CPU11 performs the process which selects any one monster character from the monster characters contained in a character database (refer FIG. 7) (step S230). When the CPU 11 selects a monster character, the CPU 11 reads a set value (X) of the monster character (step S240). In the case of the above-described lottery with a body length of 10 m, the read setting value of the monster character is the value of the body length set for the monster character. CPU11 performs the process which calculates the integrated value of the read setting value (X) with respect to the integrated value Psum (step S250).

Next, the CPU 11 compares the calculated integrated value Psum with a predetermined value (TH) (step S260). After the comparison result, the CPU 11 generates a game image including the monster character selected in step S230 and the integrated value, and sends it to the image processing circuit 14. Note that the predetermined value TH in step S260 is 10 (meters) in the case of a lottery with a body length of 10 m. As long as the integrated value Psum is equal to or less than the predetermined value TH (step S260: YES), the CPU 11 recognizes the selection operation of the menu m12 (“Draw next monster”) (step S220: YES), and performs steps S230 to S230. The process of S260 is performed, and new monster characters are sequentially selected.
When the integrated value Psum exceeds the predetermined value TH (step S260: NO), the CPU 11 notifies that the integrated value Psum exceeds the predetermined value TH (that is, the body length integrated value exceeds 10 m). The image data is generated as follows. Thereby, for example, the game image S <b> 16 of FIG. 14 is displayed on the display device 3.

Next, the CPU 11 sends image data for displaying the monster character group (P monster characters) selected by the series of processing in steps S220 to S260 to the image processing circuit 14, thereby, for example, FIG. Is displayed on the display device 3. When the CPU 11 recognizes that the menu m13 (“second lottery is performed”) is selected in the game image S17 (step S270: YES), the CPU 11 determines a predetermined number (Q) from the P monster characters. For example, a monster character of Q <P) is selected randomly or according to a predetermined rule (step S280). The CPU 11 determines to give the user at least one of the Q monster characters selected in step S280 and the points (privileges) based on the Q monster characters (step S290). When the CPU 11 gives Q monster characters to the user, the CPU 11 accesses the storage medium 17 and writes the identification codes of the Q monster characters as possessed character data in the user data of the user to be processed. (Step S300). CPU11 performs the process which accesses the storage medium 17 and adds and overwrites the point in the user data of the user used as a process target, when giving a user a point based on Q monster characters (step S300). .

(B) Processing in a case where all monster characters are selected at once according to one operation by the user In the flowcharts of FIGS. 18A and 18B, different symbols are given only for processing that is different from that of FIGS. 17A and 17B. It is attached. Hereinafter, the flowcharts of FIGS. 18A and 18B will be described by focusing on differences from FIGS. 17A and 17B. In the flowcharts of FIGS. 18A and 18B, when it is recognized in step S220a that the menu m11 (“Lottery”) has been selected, the CPU 11 performs steps S230 to S250 until the condition of step S260 is not satisfied. Repeat to select monster characters. Thereby, according to the selection operation of the menu m11 by the user, all the monster characters are selected at the same time in the first selection.

As described above, in this embodiment, in the first stage in the two-stage lottery described in the first embodiment, for example, a predetermined condition such as a condition that the integrated value of the body length of the monster character is equal to or less than a predetermined value is satisfied. While doing so, the monster character (first object) was selected. Therefore, the user cannot predict the number of monster characters selected in the first stage. At this time, since the number of monster characters (first object) obtained by the selection in the first step is associated with the set values (body length, age, etc.) of the monster character, the user inevitably has to select each monster to be selected. Pay attention to the set value of the character. Therefore, the user can be interested in a specific set value.
As described above, the predetermined condition may be based on a comparison result between the integrated value of the set value of the monster character (first object) selected by the first selection means 52 and the predetermined value. In this case, the user pays more attention to whether or not the integrated value of the target set value satisfies a predetermined condition. Therefore, it comes to pay more attention to the specific set value of the monster character (first object) that is sequentially selected, and the user's interest can be enhanced.

Even if the predetermined condition in the determination unit 57 is based on the comparison result between the integrated value of the set values of the plurality of monster characters selected by the first selection unit 52 and the predetermined value as in the example of the embodiment described above. Good. Since such a condition is a condition that is not so complicated, the user pays more attention to whether or not the integrated value of the target set value satisfies a predetermined condition. Therefore, it comes to pay more attention to the specific set value of the obtained monster character, and can enhance the interest of the user.

In the embodiment described above, as shown in the game images S13 to S16, it is preferable to update the integrated value of the set value displayed on the game image every time a monster character is selected. Thereby, it becomes easy to visually recognize whether or not the user satisfies a predetermined condition.

(4) Fourth Embodiment Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The game apparatus 1c according to the present embodiment has the same hardware configuration as that shown in FIG. Hereinafter, differences from the game apparatus 1 of the first embodiment will be described.

(4-1) Content of Game of the Present Embodiment The content of the game of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20 are examples of game images of the game according to this embodiment. FIG. 21 is a diagram for explaining the principle of the contents of the game according to the present embodiment.
Note that the display device 3 of the game apparatus 1c of the present embodiment includes an upper liquid crystal monitor 3a and a lower liquid crystal monitor 3b, as in the game apparatus 1, but the game images shown in FIGS. It may be displayed on either the liquid crystal monitor 3a or the lower liquid crystal monitor 3b.

As an example, the game image S17a in FIG. 19 is a game image that displays the monster character group selected in the first stage of the lottery with a body length of 10 m instead of step S17 in FIG. In the third embodiment, the case where a predetermined number of monster characters are selected from the monster character group is exemplified. However, in the present embodiment, each monster character constituting the monster character group is regarded as a symbol (design). A combination of monster characters in the second stage is determined by a slot machine having a predetermined number of reels. The operating principle of this slot machine is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 21, this slot machine is provided with a predetermined number of pseudo reels, and each reel is arranged in the same order as the monster character group selected in the first stage as a symbol. The
When the menu m14 (“slot start”) is selected in the game image S17a of FIG. 19, a game image S20 is displayed. In the game image S20, a display area 301 of a slot machine based on a monster character group selected by a lottery with a body length of 10 m is provided. FIG. 19 shows a case where the number of reels is three as an example, and three windows 301 a to 301 c are provided in the display area 301.

In the game image S20, when any one of the instruction buttons 4d is pressed, the slot machine starts rotating as shown in the game image S21. During the rotation, the monster characters displayed in the windows in the display area 301 are switched in the order of the monster characters arranged on each reel shown in FIG. The reel starts to decelerate after the depressing operation of any one of the instruction buttons 4d or the elapse of a predetermined time, and finally the reel stops as shown in the game image S22. In the game image S22, points (privileges) given to the user are determined based on a combination of monster character symbols displayed in the three windows 301a to 301c.

(4-2) Overview of Functions in Game Control Device The functional block diagram of the game device 1c of the present embodiment may be the same as that shown in FIG. 8, FIG. 10, or FIG. In addition, in this embodiment, the 2nd privilege provision means 55 does not need to be provided.
In the present embodiment, the second selection unit 53 selects one monster character each time from the monster character (first object) selected by the first selection unit 52 a predetermined number of times (for example, independently extracts). Thus, it has a function of determining a monster character (second object) to be selected. In order to realize the function of the second selection means 53, the CPU 11 repeatedly selects a monster character at random from the plurality of monster characters selected in the first step independently for a predetermined number of times. Get a combination of R (and R) monster characters. R corresponds to the number of reels in the slot machine.

In the present embodiment, the first privilege granting unit 54, when granting points (privileges) on the game, the amount of points (privileges) based on the combination of the selection results (second objects) of the second selection unit 53. Content). In order to realize the function of the first privilege granting unit 54, the CPU 11 determines the amount of points to be given to the user based on the combination of the R monster characters. Note that a table describing the relationship between the R monster characters and the amount of points given to the user is provided on the ROM 12, for example, and the CPU 11 refers to the table in the ROM 12 to determine the amount of points. .

(4-3) Flow of main processing of game device of this embodiment Next, an example of the flow of main processing performed by the game device 1c of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. explain. In FIGS. 22 and 23, display timings of the game images S17a to S22 of FIGS. 19 and 20 are added.
FIG. 22 is a flowchart illustrating an example in which the first stage lottery is the same as that of the third embodiment (FIGS. 17A and 17B), but the first stage lottery method is not limited to this. As shown in one embodiment, a predetermined number of monster characters may be selected randomly or according to a predetermined rule from the character database. FIG. 23 is a flowchart for slot processing.

In the following description regarding the flowchart of FIG. 22, the same portions as those in FIGS. 17A and 17B are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
In FIG. 22, the CPU 11 recognizes that the menu m14 (“start slot”) has been selected after selecting a monster character group (P monster characters) through a series of processes in steps S220 to S260. Then (step S400: YES), the slot process shown in FIG. 23 is executed (step S410).
In the slot process, first, the CPU 11 substitutes 1 for a variable K (step S500). The CPU 11 randomly extracts one monster character from the P monster characters selected in the first lottery (step S510), and increments the variable K (step S520). Thereafter, the CPU 11 repeats steps S510 and S520 until the variable K exceeds a predetermined number Snum (step S530). Here, the predetermined number Snum corresponds to the number of reels of the slot machine. If the variable K exceeds the predetermined number Snum (step S530: YES), it means that the predetermined number Snum, that is, the number of monster characters corresponding to the number of reels of the slot machine has been extracted.

Further, the CPU 11 determines the amount of points to be given to the user, for example, referring to a table in the ROM 12 based on the extracted combination of monster characters. The CPU 11 accesses the user data of the user to be processed, and performs a process of adding the amount of points given (step S540). Next, the CPU 11 provides image data to display a series of game images so that symbols (pictures) displayed in a predetermined number Snum of windows when the reels of the slot machine are stopped become the extracted monster characters. The image is sent to the image processing circuit 14. Thereby, the game images S20 to S22 are displayed in order. In the game image S22, the amount of points given in step S540 is displayed.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the second lottery, a predetermined number of reels in which each monster character group (first object), which is the first lottery result, is regarded as a symbol (design). A lottery result (second object) in the second stage is obtained through an effect of displaying a number of slot machines. Since points (privileges) are given to the user based on the combination of the second lottery result (second object), it is possible to realize an unprecedented highly entertaining game.
In particular, the conventional slot machine has a fixed symbol (picture) set on the reel, so it is easy to get tired of executing it many times, but in this embodiment, a monster character as a symbol selected in the first stage Since the (first object) changes every time the user performs an operation input, it is possible to realize a slot machine in which the symbols change every time the user performs an operation.

(5) Modification of Embodiment In the above-described embodiment, the case where the “object” to be a lottery is a monster character has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The “object” may be anything as long as it can be a selection target, and may include, for example, items on the game and other characters. In this case, a character is, for example, a virtual person or a creature on a game, and includes those displayed on a card. It can also contain cards about magic and tricks.

Hereinafter, modified examples of the above-described embodiment will be described.
(5-1) Modification 1
The predetermined condition in the determination means 57 of the third embodiment described above is not limited to the above-described example (condition that the integrated value of the set value exceeds the predetermined value), and is arbitrarily set based on the set value of the monster character. be able to. For example, every time a monster character is selected, the set value of the selected monster character may be sequentially subtracted from a predetermined value, and the predetermined condition may be that the value after subtraction becomes zero or less. Further, the predetermined condition may be that a specific set value of any selected monster character is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.
Moreover, although the setting value used as the determination target in the determination unit 57 of the above-described third embodiment has been described as an example of the body length or age of the monster character, the setting value is associated with an object such as a character. As long as the data is correct, it may be set appropriately. For example, the set value may be a value of the defense power of the monster character.

(5-2) Modification 2
In the above-described third embodiment, the first selection means 52 selects the monster character (first object) while the predetermined means is satisfied by the determination means 57, so the first stage lottery is executed. The number of monster characters selected in response to an operation input for instructing varies with each operation input. In place of such a selection method, the first selection means 52 determines the number of a plurality of monster characters (first objects) to be selected every time a user performs an operation input without determining a predetermined condition. For example, it may be determined at random from a predetermined range, and a monster character may be selected from the character database at random or according to a predetermined rule. Also according to this selection method, as in the third embodiment, the number of monster characters selected in the first stage lottery can be changed each time a user inputs an operation.

(5-3) Modification 3
In 3rd Embodiment mentioned above, although the example which matched the predetermined condition about the selection number of a monster character with the setting value of the single item of a monster character was shown, it is not restricted to this. When the setting values of a plurality of items are associated with the monster character, the predetermined condition may be based on the setting values of the plurality of items of each monster character selected by the selection unit 53. By setting conditions based on setting values of a plurality of items, flexible condition setting can be achieved, and the range of lottery methods can be expanded.
For example, you may perform a lottery process as follows. When the predetermined condition is set based on the setting values of the body length and the age among the setting values of the plurality of items of each monster character shown in FIG. 7, the CPU 11 of the game server 20 selects the monster character each time. The integrated value of the length and age of the selected monster character is calculated. CPU11 compares the integrated value of body length and age with the 1st predetermined value and 2nd predetermined value corresponding to each. The CPU 11 may select a number of monster characters such that either one of the integrated values of the body length and the age is equal to or less than a predetermined value, or the integrated values of the body length and the age are both equal to or less than the predetermined value. You may select as many monster characters as

(5-4) Modification 4
In the fourth embodiment described above, the second selection means 53 is a slot machine having a predetermined number of reels in which each monster character group (first object), which is the first lottery result, is regarded as a symbol (design). The second-stage selection (lottery) result (second object) is obtained through the effect of displaying the image, but the method of selecting the second object is not limited to this. Since one monster character can be selected independently a predetermined number of times, for example, an operation to take out one monster character from the bag containing the monster character group that is the first lottery result and return it to the bag It is also possible to obtain a second-stage selection result (second object) as a predetermined number of monster characters taken out from the bag through an effect of repeating the above for a predetermined number of times.

(5-5) Modification 5
In the fourth embodiment described above, the second selection unit 53 increases the predetermined number of times for selection as the number or type of monster characters (first objects) selected by the first selection unit 52 is smaller. May be.
The smaller the number or type of monster characters (first objects) selected (lottery) in the first stage, the smaller the number of combinations by the monster characters. In this modification, the predetermined number of times in the second stage selection Therefore, it is equivalent to an increase in the number of reels in the slot machine, and symbol alignment for obtaining points (privileges) becomes difficult.

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the present invention is realized by a stand-alone game device has been described. However, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention can also be realized by a client server system such as a so-called social game.
Hereinafter, the example in the case of implement | achieving this invention by a social game is demonstrated.
FIG. 24 shows a system configuration example of a game system (client server system) when the present invention is realized by a social game. 24 includes, for example, communication terminals 100a, 100b, 100c,... That can be connected to a communication network NW (network) such as the Internet, a game server 200 connected to the communication network NW, and a database server 300. Has been. Each of the communication terminals 100a, 100b, 100c,... Is a terminal operated by an individual user, for example, a mobile terminal, a smartphone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a personal computer, a television having a bidirectional communication function. A communication terminal such as a John receiver (including a so-called multi-function smart TV). In the following description, when referring to each communication terminal 100a, 100b, 100c,.
In this game system, the game server 200 is configured to be able to communicate with the communication terminal 100 that is a client, and provides a gaming service to the communication terminal 100. The game server 200 has a program for creating a document that can be interpreted by a web browser as a game program. The database server 300 stores various types of information to be described later when executing the game, and is connected to the game server 200 by, for example, a wire for reading and writing the information. The communication terminal 100 includes a web browser capable of displaying a web page provided by the game server 200, and the user operates the communication terminal 100 on the web page to execute a game application.

In the game system shown in FIG. 24, communication according to HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is performed between the communication terminal 100 and the game server 200. For example, the communication terminal 100 transmits an HTTP request (for example, including a user's hyperlink or menu selection result on a web page) to the game server 200, and the game server 200 responds to the received HTTP request. Based on this, predetermined data processing and arithmetic processing are performed, and an HTTP response including the processing result is returned to the web browser of the game server 200. The HTTP response includes HTML data for updating the web page.

For example, when the two-stage lottery described in the present embodiment is realized by this game system, a character database is stored in the database server 300. When the user performs a menu selection operation for the first or second lottery instruction of the monster character on the web page displayed on the communication terminal 100, an HTTP request including the menu selection result is displayed in the game. It is transmitted to the server 200. When the game server 200 receives the HTTP request, the game server 200 accesses the character database in the database server 300, selects a predetermined number of monster characters, for example, at random, generates HTML data including the selection result, and transmits it to the communication terminal 100. return. When the HTML data is received, the communication terminal 100 causes the browser to interpret the HTML data and update and display the web page, thereby displaying the monster character as the lottery result on the user communication terminal 100.

In addition, when each function of the 1st selection means 52, the 2nd selection means 53, the 1st privilege provision means 54, the 2nd privilege provision means 55, the acquisition means 56, and the determination means 57 is implement | achieved by a client server system, these Although all the means described above may be realized in the game server 200 and the database server 300, the communication terminal 100 and the game server 200 and the database server 300 may appropriately share the functions. 25A and 25B each show an example of sharing between the communication terminal 100, the game server 200, and the database server 300 with respect to each function (each function shown in FIG. 8) of the game control apparatus of the present embodiment.

In the above-described embodiment and other descriptions, the case of selecting an object on the game has been described. However, in the present invention, the selection target is not limited to the object on the game.
